China names former navy chief Dong Jun as new defence minister | All about him | Oneindia

On Friday, China appointed former Navy chief Dong Jun as the new Defense Minister, replacing Li Shangfu, who mysteriously disappeared four months ago after being fired.

Although the reasons for Li Shangfu's disappearance were not specified, Dong's appointment comes at a time of increased military tensions, particularly concerning Taiwan, and aligns with China's ongoing efforts to enhance its military capabilities.

The appointment of Dong Jun as China's Defense Minister is a strategic move in line with President Xi Jinping's broader vision to position China as a leading global power.

In his role as the defence minister, Dong will serve as a pivotal figure, acting as the public face of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), engaging with the media, and collaborating with other armed forces.

This appointment underscores China's commitment to ongoing military advancements, reflecting a larger transformation in global geopolitical dynamics.

"WILL BOMB MOSCOW TO HELL": Leaked Trump-Putin Explosive Audio Reveals US Wanted World War 3 [Video]

"WILL BOMB MOSCOW TO HELL": Leaked Trump-Putin Explosive Audio Reveals US Wanted World War 3

In a stunning revelation, a leaked audio clip from a private fundraiser has exposed the aggressive foreign policy approach of Donald Trump. The audio, first reported by CNN, allegedly captures Trump recounting a conversation with Vladimir Putin where he made a direct threat to bomb Moscow if Russia were to invade Ukraine. Trump claims that while Putin may not have fully believed him, the threat was credible enough ("he believed me 10%"). This gives a rare insight into the high-stakes conversations that happened behind closed doors during his presidency. The source of this explosive leak is reportedly a new book titled “2024,” written by journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager, and Isaac Arnsdorf. The authors claim to have obtained the audio from the fundraiser, where Trump was speaking candidly to wealthy donors. This 'unleashed' side of Trump was not limited to Russia. The same leaked audio reveals Trump made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping, warning he would bomb Beijing if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. "He thought I was crazy," Trump is heard saying on the tape. These revelations come as Trump campaigns for the 2024 presidential election. He uses these anecdotes to argue that his aggressive and unpredictable negotiating style is what successfully prevented major global conflicts, specifically citing the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, which he claims would not have happened under his watch. The audio provides a stark look at the kind of "strongman" diplomacy Trump advocates for, a strategy he believes is necessary to prevent world powers from undermining the United States. #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #WorldNews #BreakingNews #Trump #Putin #LeakedAudio #OneindiaNews #USElection2024 #XiJinping #AudioLeaked #CNNAudioLeaked #TrumpAudioLeaked Also Read Trump Condemns Brazilian Authorities for Alleged Witch Hunt Against Bolsonaro :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-criticises-brazilian-authorities-witch-hunt-bolsonaro-011-7794385.html?ref=DMDesc US President Donald Trump Announces 25% Tariffs On Japan, South Korea :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-donald-trump-announces-25-tariffs-on-japan-south-korea-7794333.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Calls Musk’s America Party Plan ‘Ridiculous’ And ‘Unworkable’ :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-calls-musk-s-america-party-plan-ridiculous-and-unworkable-7793443.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.122~ED.346~

Dalai Lama at 90: China’s Challenge and the Future of Tibetan Leadership

As the Dalai Lama turns 90, he declares his successor will not be born in China—defying Beijing’s succession claims. China, which once called Tibetan Buddhism “poison,” insists it will approve any reincarnation. India backs the Tibetan leader, with PM Modi and Minister Kiren Rijiju supporting religious autonomy. The threat of two Dalai Lamas—one genuine, one Chinese-appointed—echoes the Panchen Lama crisis. With global attention rising, the future of Tibetan Buddhism hinges on protecting its sacred, sovereign traditions. #DalaiLama90 #Tibet #ChinaTibet #ReligiousFreedom #TibetanBuddhism #PanchenLama #DalaiLamaSuccession #IndiaSupportsTibet #BeijingVsDharamshala #ModiOnTibet #TibetanRights #GlobalFaith #FreeTibet #SpiritualLeadership #CommunistChina #CulturalHeritage #KirenRijiju #TibetUnderThreat #ChinaInterference #SacredTraditions #TibetanStruggle #AsiaGeopolitics #TwoDalaiLamas #ReincarnationBattle #DalaiLamaStatement Also Read Is Xi Jinping Preparing To Step Down As Chinese President?

Taiwan Declares War Against China? |Unleashes US-Made Abrams Tanks In War Drills Amid China Threat

In a bold display of military preparedness, Taiwan has launched large-scale live-fire drills under its annual "Han Kuang" military exercise. These drills, the biggest in the island's history, include the debut of U.S.-made M1A2T Abrams tanks and a record mobilisation of reservists. President Lai Ching-te personally oversaw the training, asserting Taiwan’s readiness to defend against any Chinese aggression. Drones, tanks, and innovative new combat tactics were put to the test over the 10-day drill. With tensions escalating in the Taiwan Strait, this unprecedented military build-up sends a sharp message to Beijing. While China continues to ramp up pressure, Taiwan's latest exercises showcase not only resolve but modernization in warfare. The Han Kuang drills aren't just defensive—they're a signal that Taiwan is preparing for the unthinkable and doing so with Western-backed firepower. #TaiwanChinaTensions #TaiwanMilitaryDrills #HanKuangExercise #AbramsTanksTaiwan #ChinaThreat #TaiwanDefense #LiveFireDrills #TaiwanArmy #M1A2TAbrams #LaiChingTe #TaiwanWarPrep #USArmsTaiwan #IndoPacificSecurity #TaiwanStraitCrisis #ChinaInvasionFear #TaiwanDrones #ReservistMobilisation #TaiwanWarGames #TaiwanUSAlliance #DefendingTaiwan ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.125~
