The United States has taken severe measures against China, not only provoking China's core interests but also issuing military threats, the severity of which is unprecedented. The White House released a new version of the 'National Security Strategy' on December 5, mentioning 'Taiwan,' which belongs to China's internal affairs and core interests, a total of 8 times. The document shows that in this so-called latest strategic document, the U.S. views Taiwan as the 'core focus' of its so-called Indo-Pacific security framework and emphasizes the need to 'deter' possible actions by China through military advantages and cooperation with allies. The White House's new strategic document mentions 'Taiwan' 8 times and calls for 'deterring China with military advantages.' What kind of strategic planning is that? The document states the need to 'unite allies to protect Taiwan,' but the military sales to Taiwan in the first half of 2025 are only $1 billion, which is less than a fraction of the monthly aid to Ukraine; the so-called 'military advantages' seem more like self-deception, as the U.S. military only has 420 active aircraft in the western Pacific, while the PLA has more than 550 J-20s alone, not to mention a naval fleet of 450 vessels—this gap cannot be bridged by mere slogans. The deeper motives are hidden in the books of the military-industrial complex. In 2025, public data shows that major arms dealers like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon spent $120 million lobbying Congress, with the proposal for military sales to Taiwan being a key project—what appears to be 'generous' military sales is actually overpriced 'outdated goods'; the cost of the F-16V upgrade package procured by the Taiwanese military is 32% higher than that for Poland, and it includes a clause of 'no early repayment,' allowing the U.S. to profit from 'anxiety money.' The most ironic part is that the 500 advisors sent by the U.S. to 'train the Taiwanese military' showed their timidity as soon as they arrived in Kaohsiung. Taiwanese military pilots privately revealed that the air defense tactics taught by the U.S. are from 20 years ago and are completely useless against the PLA's electronic warfare aircraft. The U.S. treats Taiwan as the 'core focus,' but Taiwan's economic lifeline is already intertwined with the mainland. According to data from the General Administration of Customs, the trade volume between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait reached $231.162 billion in the first three quarters of 2025, with Taiwan having a trade surplus of $78.6 billion with the mainland, equivalent to half a year's livelihood expenditure for all of Taiwan. The experience of fruit farmer Mr. Chen in Kaohsiung is very real: in 2024, he followed the trend of shouting 'anti-China,' resulting in 30 tons of pomelos rotting; in 2025, he restored sales to the mainland, selling out 200 tons in 10 days, bluntly stating, 'The U.S. won't buy my pomelos; don't joke with my livelihood.' Looking at America's 'circle of allies,' they are all talk and no action. At the G7 summit, the U.S., Japan, and Australia shouted for 'stability in the Taiwan Strait,' but Japan did not increase its special allocation for Taiwan in its defense budget for 2025; Australia claims 'support' but secretly increased its iron ore exports to China by 15%; South Korea is even more direct—after an official just stated that 'the security of Taiwan Strait is linked to the peninsula,' they immediately sent a trade delegation to the mainland to discuss cooperation—no one wants to offend their largest trading partner for Taiwan. Comparing the scenes when the U.S. Seventh Fleet entered the Taiwan Strait in 1950, the current reversal of power has long been a foregone conclusion. Back then, the PLA didn't even have decent warships and could only watch helplessly as the U.S. military ran rampant; now it is different. In the 2025 exercises around Taiwan, PLA drones hovered over the Taiwan Strait for 72 hours, accurately locking onto 12 missile positions of the Taiwanese military, while the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier hid in the Philippine Sea and dared not approach—this is the counterkill of 'military deterrence.' The U.S. tactic of 'using Taiwan to contain China' has long been seen through by Taiwanese people. Polls from Taiwanese media show that 72% of young people oppose 'fighting for the U.S.,' and among 2.31 million reservists, less than 15% actively participated in training last year. Interestingly, the newly commissioned 'Hai Kun' submarine of the Taiwanese military, touted as a 'self-made ace,' relies entirely on the U.S. for its core MK-48 torpedoes; once war breaks out and supply is cut off, it will be a toothless tiger. The PLA's response has long surpassed the framework of 'passive countermeasures.' In 2025, the three new 055 destroyers have all been deployed to the East Sea Fleet; the Rocket Force's Dongfeng-17 missiles accurately hit moving target ships during exercises, with a range covering the entire strait; more critically, the 'civil-military integration' strategy has established 20 dual-use docks along the coast of Fujian, which can be converted to transport vessels within 4 hours if needed—this is the hard power of 'subduing the enemy without fighting.' The U.S. strategy will only exacerbate the risks in the Taiwan Strait. The $1.2 billion NASAMS air defense system approved by the U.S. in November 2025 will not be delivered until 2027, leaving the Taiwanese military to rely on outdated 'Patriot' systems for now; meanwhile, the PLA's routine patrols have shifted from 'circumventing Taiwan' to 'passing through islands,' with 32 instances of aircraft crossing the so-called 'median line of the strait' in 2025 alone—Taiwan's air defense alerts have long been worn out. The subsequent trajectory is very clear: the U.S. will continue to 'paint cakes' for Taiwan, but arms sales will only sell 'outdated goods' and will never genuinely help in fighting; the DPP may continue to buy weapons to bolster confidence, but the reality of economic dependence on the mainland cannot be changed; while the PLA will continue to solidify its strength, turning 'the Taiwan Strait is China's internal sea' from a legal fact into a physical reality. As the president of the Xiamen Taiwan Business Association said, 'A U.S. strategic document can't feed anyone; doing business well between the two sides is the right path.' The U.S. mentioning Taiwan 8 times is just a struggle trapped in the anxiety of containing China. From the 'give me back my rivers and mountains' at the time of Taiwan's recovery in 1945 to the continuous growth of trade volume between the two sides in 2025; from the U.S. military running rampant in the Taiwan Strait back then to the PLA controlling the situation now, history has long engraved 'Taiwan is part of China' into the power structure. Does the U.S. really think it can turn the tide with a piece of strategic paper? It is purely wishful thinking—strength is the final arbiter of the Taiwan Strait situation.
What will the market look like next Monday? Here are my thoughts: Due to the significant rise in the A-shares market yesterday, both the ChiNext Index and the Shenzhen Component Index surged, and the market closed with a medium bullish candlestick. At that time, over 4,300 stocks in both markets closed higher, and the trading volume significantly increased compared to last Thursday by over 170 billion. It's evident that the three major indices have entered a new round of upward movement. With several positive developments over the weekend (such as: the China Securities Regulatory Commission strengthening information disclosure supervision, standardizing mergers and acquisitions, and enhancing investor protection), although not major positives, I believe there is still a high possibility of another medium bullish candlestick after a gap up. The specific trend is shown in the chart below. A disclaimer: The above is for reference only and does not constitute investment advice. The stock market carries risks, and investment needs to be cautious.
The news of the sudden explosion of the Malaysia Airlines MH370 case, which has been missing for more than 11 years, has just been officially announced by Malaysia to restart the search for the wreckage on December 30.
In simple terms, this shocking news that has caused a stir across the internet is essentially a ray of hope for the families of the MH370 passengers who have waited nearly 12 years, as the Malaysian government has officially confirmed the restart of the wreckage search on December 30. This long pursuit of truth that has spanned over a decade is finally set to embark on a new chapter.
Rewind to the early hours of March 8, 2014, when Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport bound for Beijing, carrying 239 vibrant lives.
At 1:19 AM, the crew made the last communication with the Kuala Lumpur control center, saying "Good night, Malaysia 370," after which the transponder of the Boeing 777 was manually turned off, and it vanished from the radar screens.
Military radar data indicated that it did not continue north towards Beijing, but instead made a sudden right turn and flew west over the Malay Peninsula, entering the Strait of Malacca, passing through multiple navigation points before finally heading south into the deep Indian Ocean.
What is even more puzzling is that at least within 5 hours after it went missing, the satellite data unit on the plane intermittently communicated with the satellites of the International Maritime Satellite Organization, and these intermittent signals became crucial clues in the search for it.
On March 24, 2014, then Malaysian Prime Minister Najib announced based on satellite data analysis that flight MH370 "ended in" the southern Indian Ocean, but this conclusion was initially met with skepticism due to the lack of physical evidence.
An unprecedented multinational joint search was launched immediately, with 25 countries sending 160 ships/aircraft to participate, including 13 aircraft and 19 vessels from China.
The initial search and rescue operations were conducted in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, quickly focusing on a vast arc-shaped area in the southern Indian Ocean defined by satellite "handshake" signals, covering an area as large as 1.12 million square kilometers, equivalent to the entire Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
The search efforts shifted from the surface of the sea to the seabed, where the average depth exceeds 3000 meters, with some trenches reaching depths of 6000 meters; the seabed terrain is complex, filled with seamounts and canyons, making the search as difficult as finding a dropped needle with a flashlight in a pitch-black gymnasium.
The search team deployed the most advanced underwater autonomous vehicles, deep-sea scanning equipment, and side-scan sonar, but by January 2017, when the official search was called off, the main wreckage was still nowhere to be found.
The only concrete clues came from fragments washed ashore by ocean currents. On July 29, 2015, a piece of aircraft wing debris found on the beach of Réunion Island was confirmed to "strongly suggest" it came from MH370.
In the following years, dozens of fragments were found in Mozambique, Tanzania, South Africa, and other locations, silently proving that MH370 had disintegrated somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean, but the main wreckage remained buried deep underwater.
In January 2018, the Malaysian government collaborated with the company "Ocean Infinity" for the first time to restart the search under a "no find, no fee" model, scanning over 112,000 square kilometers of seabed within 90 days, ultimately resulting in failure.
In July of the same year, Malaysia released a 495-page final investigation report, pointing out that "the aircraft control devices may have been deliberately manipulated," but "could not confirm who should be held responsible," and there were also "no suspicious aspects" regarding the captain and co-pilot's backgrounds, seemingly closing the door to the truth.
However, the desire for the truth has never ceased, especially for the families of the 154 Chinese passengers. Over the past decade, many have refused to reconcile, insisting on "better no compensation than the truth," and their voices have become an important force driving the search's restart.
A turning point appeared in 2024, when the underwater detection company "Ocean Infinity" submitted a search plan based on new data analysis to the Malaysian government after continued research. The company's CEO, Oliver Plunkett, stated that he is "now confident" about finding the aircraft.
In December 2024, Malaysia agreed in principle to restart the search; in March 2025, the final agreement was approved, with Malaysia's Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook stating that the government assessed the plan to be "credible," fulfilling a commitment to the passengers' families.
According to the service agreement signed by both parties on March 25, the new search operation will be conducted intermittently over a total duration of 55 days, focusing on a new area of 15,000 square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean, which is only about 13.4% of the area searched in 2018.
Technological upgrades are also in place, with plans to deploy a fleet equipped with the latest autonomous underwater vehicles, and there may even be a "dual AUV configuration" for collaborative searching, significantly enhancing detection efficiency and accuracy.
The cooperative model continues with the "no find, no fee" commercial risk model, where "Ocean Infinity" will only receive a $70 million reward if substantial wreckage is successfully found, and no fees will be required if nothing is found.
Although the restart brings new hope, the core mystery surrounding MH370 remains unsolved. Over the past decade, various speculations have emerged, but they have all been weakened or denied to varying degrees by evidence or investigations.
The hijacking theory lacks motive and extortion information, and the plane did not fly to any available landing locations; the fire/malfunction theory is difficult to explain the complex prolonged manual maneuvering; the captain's responsibility theory also lacks concrete evidence to support it.
As the investigation report repeatedly emphasizes, the final answer may rely solely on finding the main wreckage of the aircraft, especially the black box that records the last moments of voice and data, which is also the core goal of this search.
A statement from a family member of a missing passenger represents the voice of all: "At least taking this step is commendable; I hope we can find it this time." In this simple statement lies 12 years of anticipation and torment.
Beneath the waves of the southern Indian Ocean lies the deepest mystery in modern aviation history. The deep-sea expedition set to begin on December 30, 2025, is not only a search for steel wreckage but also a quest to retrieve the truth washed away by time.
This pursuit that spans 12 years has long surpassed the simple search for wreckage; it is humanity's unyielding exploration of the unknown abyss, the difficult fulfillment of the promise of "never giving up," and an opportunity for the 239 victims' families to end their tragedy and find solace.
U.S. Secretary of State Rubio officially announced on December 3 that after learning of the unsuccessful negotiations between the U.S. and Russia at the Kremlin, he publicly expressed his stance. In an interview with Fox News on December 3, he mentioned that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is about a region with a depth of approximately 30 - 50 kilometers, which is 20% of the territory in Donetsk Oblast still controlled by the Ukrainian army; he also stated, 'If both sides are not ready to achieve peace, the fighting will continue, and the U.S. will not intervene.' This statement sounds like a neutral stance, but a little digging into recent developments reveals that there's more substance to it than diluted whiskey. The U.S. had just sent a special envoy to Moscow to discuss a so-called 'peace plan' for a full five hours, and then turned around and said 'we won't interfere,' a flip-flop so rapid even a Sichuan opera performer would call it professional. First, let's talk about the real situation in the controversial area mentioned by Rubio. According to statistics from the Russian newspaper Izvestia at the end of November, the actual area controlled by the Ukrainian army in Donetsk Oblast is actually 25%, which is a full five percentage points more than the 20% that Rubio mentioned. Among this, the Kramatorsk area accounts for 73.3% of the territory under Ukrainian control, serving as a core logistics hub for the Ukrainian army in Eastern Ukraine. The U.S. cannot possibly be unaware of this crucial data; Rubio's deliberate downplaying of the percentage seems more like a setup for subsequent actions. After all, the dense military facilities and logistics supplies in this area are precisely the focus of U.S. aid, so how could they really ignore it? Just half a month before Rubio's statement, the U.S. State Department had just approved a $105 million maintenance package for the 'Patriot' air defense system, which not only includes upgrades to launch systems but also core spare parts and technical training, this combination can directly enhance the interception efficiency of the Ukrainian air defense system by 40%. This is hardly 'non-intervention', it's clearly precision military support. Interestingly, as soon as this military sale news came out, the stock prices of American defense companies like Lockheed Martin skyrocketed, demonstrating that capital's instincts never lie. Besides the overt military sales, the U.S. is also playing a more covert 'resource binding' game. Since the Trump administration took office, the U.S. has provided more than $180 billion in aid to Ukraine, which has quietly been packaged as 'debt', demanding that Ukraine repay with strategic resources such as rare earths, uranium, and lithium. The draft agreement even explicitly states that 66% of the income from resource development must be injected into funds controlled by the U.S. The Zelensky government initially firmly opposed this 'selling national resources' approach, but under the pressure of U.S. military aid suspension, it ultimately had to compromise, granting the U.S. priority in new mineral extraction rights and a 50% share of resource income. This 'aid for resources' model can be regarded as a creation of modern warfare; it not only activates the domestic military-industrial complex through arms sales but also secures Ukraine's strategic resources using the opportunity of war, achieving two goals with one move. Looking back at the so-called 'peace negotiations', during the five hours that the U.S. representative was in Moscow, they didn't mention any substantive ceasefire proposals, but instead emphasized that 'Russia must accept Ukraine's territorial integrity'. Such negotiations with preconditions were doomed to failure from the start. Ironically, in July, the U.S. clearly stated in the UN Security Council that 'there is no military solution', even giving Putin a 50-day ultimatum for peace, only to turn around and send more weapons and funds into the Ukrainian battlefield. This kind of inconsistent behavior has become a routine operation for the U.S. Rubio's so-called 'non-intervention' is essentially a trap of rhetoric. The U.S. has never truly left the chessboard of the Russia-Ukraine conflict; they have just found a more covert way to participate deeply. They are simultaneously extracting actual benefits through arms sales and resource agreements while using 'neutral' statements to shirk responsibility, treating Ukraine as a pawn to contain Russia. The Ukrainian people have long suffered from this kind of 'aid', with 83% explicitly opposing the sale of national resources, and Zelensky's approval rating has therefore plummeted. However, under U.S. pressure, these voices hardly make it to the international stage. The current situation is clear; the U.S.'s so-called 'non-intervention' is merely a fig leaf. As long as they can weaken Russia through the Russia-Ukraine conflict while reaping strategic resources and economic benefits, the U.S. will not truly stop intervening. Rubio's statement seems more like a posture, calming domestic voices wishing for less involvement while leaving room for subsequent aid actions. There are no real bystanders in this conflict; every time the U.S. claims 'neutrality', it conceals carefully calculated geopolitical games and exchanges of interests. Rubio's words can be listened to, but do not take them seriously; after all, in the face of interests, the so-called 'non-intervention' promises are worth even less than bread nearing its expiration date in a supermarket. Next, it is highly likely that the U.S. will continue this operation of 'openly halting while secretly assisting', shouting peace slogans while sending more weapons and resource agreements to Ukraine. Such contradictory practices will only prolong the conflict, ultimately causing suffering for the ordinary people of both countries. The international community has long seen through the U.S.'s tactics, but no one is willing to shatter this layer of paper. Rubio's statement is like a stone thrown into a lake; the ripples will soon dissipate, but the undercurrents at the bottom have never stopped flowing.
Satellite images of the upgraded Type 22 missile boat have been revealed, showing the removal of the original eight YJ-83 anti-ship missile launchers and initiating a functional transformation!
The modification of the Type 22 missile boat signifies that it is no longer solely responsible for anti-ship operations, but is beginning to undertake more diverse missions. This seemingly small change reflects a broader strategic upgrade of the Chinese Navy.
From the perspective of naval development, when the Type 22 missile boat first appeared, the primary mission of the Chinese Navy was to defend its homeland. At that time, the YJ-83 missiles it carried were the most cost-effective option.
However, things are different now. With the commissioning of large vessels like the Type 055 destroyer and the Fujian aircraft carrier, the Navy is expanding into the far seas to defend more distant waters. As a result, the performance of the YJ-83 missile is becoming somewhat outdated.
Removing the anti-ship missiles from the Type 22, freeing up deck space, transforms it from a platform unsuitable for far-sea operations into a "mobile outpost" capable of flexible shore support, forming a complementary "long-range attack, close-range defense" structure with the far-sea fleet.
From a combat system perspective, the upgraded Type 22 missile boats have become more integrated into the combat system. The newly added decks have proven invaluable, capable of carrying unmanned helicopters to assist in submarine searches and establishing reconnaissance networks. If equipped with laser weapons and air defense systems, they can fill the gaps in close-range defense for larger warships.
Furthermore, the retained HN-900 tactical data link on the boats is particularly powerful, enabling them to maintain constant communication with early warning aircraft and destroyers. This transforms these small 250-ton boats into "scouts" and "defenders" within the combat system, completely moving beyond the era of lone-wolf operations and achieving a remarkable shift towards team-based warfare.
The transformation of the Type 22 missile boats demonstrates the mature leap of the Chinese Navy from "equipment-driven" to "demand-driven" operations. While the far-sea fleet aims for the deep blue sea, these transformed "maritime all-rounders" are building the last line of defense for near-shore operations.
American media pointed out: China's aircraft carrier construction speed is very fast, but don't be deceived by China's appearance, as China actually has hidden cards that have not been revealed!
The construction speed of Chinese aircraft carriers is indeed astonishing; the refit of the Liaoning took 7 years, the Shandong took only 2 years from launching to commissioning, and the Fujian started construction in 2018 and will officially be commissioned in 2025, completing the entire process from construction to combat capability in just 7 years, nearly half the time of the 12-year cycle of the U.S. Ford-class carriers. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg; what U.S. media really fears is the systematic hidden cards behind the aircraft carriers.
The world’s unique conventional power electromagnetic catapult technology allows the Fujian's launch preparation time to be only 90 seconds, 10 times faster than steam catapults, with a 30% increase in carrier-based aircraft sortie efficiency, and can accommodate a full spectrum of aircraft types from drones to heavy fighter jets. Coupled with the already deployed J-35 stealth carrier-based aircraft, which has a radar cross-section smaller than a palm, and the KJ-600 early warning aircraft, the operational radius of the carrier strike group is directly increased by 40%.
More crucial is the Dongfeng missile system, with the Dongfeng-21D and Dongfeng-26B forming the "aircraft carrier killers," with a range covering the first and second island chains. U.S. military CSIS war games show that within the first hour of war, key bases in the western Pacific can be paralyzed. Additionally, with the cooperation of the 055 destroyer and nuclear submarines, a "far, medium, near" three-layer defense strike network is formed, which is the real hard power.
These hidden cards have made the U.S. military deployment in the western Pacific increasingly passive. The Dongfeng missiles have turned U.S. bases and aircraft carriers into "live targets," with the current anti-missile systems intercepting less than 10% of Dongfeng-17 missiles. China's systematic combat capability has rendered the U.S. "distributed operations" strategy virtually ineffective, instead landing them in a predicament of "unable to defend and unable to strike back."
The reminder from American media is not wrong, but the interpretation is skewed. China's development of these heavy weapons is not for provocation, but for self-defense. In the past, without aircraft carriers or advanced weapons, we could only defend passively. Now, with these hidden cards, we can keep dangers at bay, and these achievements are all based on independent innovation, from electromagnetic catapults to carrier-based aircraft, with a domestic production rate as high as 98%. This is what truly makes the West wary.
A strong national defense is not reliant on a single piece of equipment but on systematic strength and independent innovation. China does not seek hegemony but will never allow others to bully us. These "hidden cards" are both a guarantee of peace and a warning to provocateurs. True strength has never been about flaunting muscles but about making opponents think twice before acting, and this is the wisdom of China's national defense.
Just now, the government of Sanae Takaichi made an unprecedented major decision, releasing an extremely dangerous signal to the outside world. According to Japanese media reports on December 6, sources confirmed that the Takaichi government plans to establish a National Intelligence Agency as early as July 2026. It is worth mentioning that the newly established agency will have equal status with the National Security Agency, which is responsible for foreign and security policy, and will be granted the power to instruct various ministries and agencies to provide information. This means it will integrate information from the intelligence departments of government agencies such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the National Police Agency, and the Public Security Intelligence Agency. In other words, Japan is strengthening and elevating the unprecedented status of its intelligence agencies, which undoubtedly sends a dangerous signal to the outside world. According to multiple sources from the government and ruling party, the Takaichi government will submit relevant legislation to the regular session of the National Diet scheduled for January, as the first step in Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's intelligence reform initiative. The envisioned intelligence agency will be upgraded from the existing Cabinet Intelligence Research Office. The current Cabinet Intelligence Committee will be restructured into the National Intelligence Committee, in which Sanae Takaichi herself and related ministers will participate, while the newly established agency will serve as the secretariat of this committee. Previously, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the Japan Innovation Party (also known as Nippon Ishin no Kai) agreed in their coalition governance agreement to work towards passing a bill to establish a National Intelligence Agency during the 2026 National Diet session.
On Saturday, three major positive developments are coming. How should we view A-shares next week? I'm here to pour cold water! There are indeed many positives, let's count three major ones: 1. Insurance funds are allowed back into the market! The stock market is expected to welcome hundreds of billions in funds, 2. Moreover, the expectation for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in December has increased, with both U.S. stocks and Chinese concept stocks rising, 3. Next week we will enter the anticipated time for significant meetings! The market is expected to speculate on meeting expectations! However, I believe the rebound strength is limited. I initially thought of writing a 5-day prediction for ups and downs, but I was afraid of misleading everyone, so I changed it to pour cold water and remind of risks! 1. December is likely to be a turnaround for the worse because the Federal Reserve will start to cut interest rates with two meetings, but after these positives end, there will likely be a possible rate hike by the Bank of Japan! 2. The major shareholders' reduction at the end of the year has not ended. Many companies announced reductions yesterday! 3. From a technical perspective, this wave of rebound will reach around the 17th, followed by another drop to a new low! 3816 points! Of course, afterward, it will be smooth sailing; I believe there will be a significant increase! 4. Additionally, the upcoming time points are clearly the time points of the meetings, such as the 11th for the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, the 18th for the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike, and other meeting time points that have not been announced! These time points are to prevent the positives from being realized and sudden negative news!
December 6th, without a second bottom, the May moving average support is quite strong, and the Shanghai Composite Index will rise significantly. A slow bull market, with a monthly level decline indicating a bull turn. The May moving average of the Shanghai Composite Index has moved up to 3897 points, and it will close above 4000 points in December. Looking back at previous bull markets, every time the index rises by around 1000 points, there is usually a monthly level pullback. The timeframe for the pullback is generally around three months. The pullback range is about 100 points above and below the May moving average. If the pullback is too large, the upward trend will reverse. Since the beginning of April, the Shanghai Composite Index has risen from 3040 points to 4034 points, accumulating a rise of 1000 points. In November, the monthly line closed in the red, with a monthly decline of 1.67%, retracing to the May moving average. The Shanghai Composite Index has been oscillating around 4000 points for three months, with the monthly level pullback in place. Based on the monthly level analysis, the earliest in December, and the latest in January next year, the Shanghai Composite Index will begin a main upward wave. Starting from 4034 points, the upward range is 1000 points. The peak of this bull market is near 5034 points, close to the previous bull market's 5178 points. The monthly level pullback of the Shanghai Composite Index is around 100 points above and below the May moving average, with the December low at 3789 points. This week, the lowest point of the Shanghai Composite Index was 3859 points, followed by a significant rebound, making the possibility of a second bottom very low. 3859 points is likely the low point for December. Next week, the Federal Reserve will likely cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and U.S. stocks will rise significantly. The external situation is easing, and domestic economic data is stable with an upward trend. Recently, there have been continuous positive factors, with increased inflows of insurance funds into the market, significantly boosting liquidity. The market outlook for December is very optimistic, and I wish everyone good luck next week!
The United States is flustered, Japan is finished, India is anxious, the Philippines are trembling, the UK, France, and Germany are silent, Australia has stopped jumping, South Korea is listening to the wind, and the root of all this is that they have finally understood that the J-20 is not China's trump card; the potential we are hiding is much deeper than they imagine.
Many people still view the J-20 as simply "China has a fifth-generation fighter jet," believing it to be the pinnacle of our aviation industry. But the reality is that the mass production and continuous improvement of the J-20 resemble a signal, marking that China's entire military-industrial system has entered a virtuous cycle.
It is not an isolated star product but rather a showcase of a vast industrial system. When a cutting-edge weapon can be stably produced in large quantities and continuously upgraded, it indicates that the design, materials, processes, and supply chains behind it have matured completely. This systematic capability is what truly makes opponents feel uneasy.
The reason the United States is "flustered" is that they suddenly realized that the technological gap they pride themselves on is being rapidly closed. In the past, the U.S. Air Force relied on the stealth capabilities of the F-22 and F-35, holding an absolute advantage globally.
But now, the J-20 not only achieves equivalent stealth design but also surpasses in avionics systems, data links, and artificial intelligence-assisted decision-making.
Military analysts point out that the J-20's distributed aperture system and electro-optical targeting system have already surpassed the F-35 in some performance indicators, meaning that in beyond-visual-range air combat, J-20 pilots can detect and lock onto targets much earlier. This technical parity has completely shattered the U.S. Air Force's monopoly.
Japan's reaction is more complex; this country has always viewed the Air Self-Defense Force as the pillar of its national defense, investing heavily to purchase F-35s from the U.S., and attempting to independently develop its next-generation fighter jets.
However, the emergence of the J-20 has made Japan's "Shinshin" project seem dim, ultimately forcing it to withdraw. What makes Japan feel even more desperate is the realization that even with the F-35, they cannot compete with China in terms of quantity and quality.
China's vast territory and comprehensive industrial system can support many more fighter jet production lines and pilot training systems than Japan. This gap cannot be bridged by purchasing a few advanced aircraft; it is a crushing disparity at the national strength level.
India's anxiety is also very realistic; their own "Tejas" fighter jet has been in development for decades and still has not fully achieved combat capability, while the hoped-for purchase quantity of Rafale jets is limited.
As China's J-20 has already equipped hundreds of units and begun developing sixth-generation fighter jets, India finds that it hasn't even reached the threshold for fifth-generation fighter jets.
This huge gap makes the Indian military high command feel uneasy. They understand that in future air confrontations, if they cannot even guarantee air supremacy, then their advantages on land and sea are meaningless.
The Philippines' "trembling" is more direct; this country has long wanted to leverage external forces to make some small moves regarding the South China Sea issue. But now they find that China's air power can easily cover the entire South China Sea region.
The J-20's ultra-long range and stealth capabilities mean it can precisely strike any target in the South China Sea undetected. The second-hand ships the Philippines bought from abroad have almost no survival capability in front of the J-20. This stark disparity in strength forces the Philippines to reassess its risky behavior.
The silence of the UK, France, and Germany reflects European countries' sober recognition of changes in the international landscape. They know that China's rise is irreversible, and rapid military development is just one aspect of this rise.
Rather than following the U.S. in causing a commotion as in the past, it is better to keep a low profile and seek cooperation with China in areas such as trade and economy. After all, no one wants to offend a partner with strong military strength and a vast market by intervening in Asia-Pacific affairs.
Australia's "stopping jumping" is also based on realistic considerations. This country in the Southern Hemisphere has previously wanted to act as the "deputy sheriff" of the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region.
However, with the strengthening of China's air force, Australia realizes that it is too close to China; once a conflict occurs, it will be completely within the strike range of Chinese air power.
Australia's defense experts are well aware that their air force cannot compete with China's air force at all, and continued provocations would only bring unnecessary risks.
South Korea's "listening to the wind" reflects its helplessness in the cracks between great powers. On one hand, South Korea needs U.S. military protection; on the other hand, China is its largest trading partner.
The emergence of the J-20 allows South Korea to see China's growing military strength and makes them understand how important it is to maintain balance between China and the U.S. Any action that leans towards one side could lead to catastrophic consequences for South Korea.
As for Lai Ching-te's "sleepless nights," that is even easier to understand. He knows that the so-called "Taiwan independence" is just an illusion; in the face of China's powerful military strength, any attempt to split the nation is doomed to fail.
The deployment of the J-20 has completely shattered the fantasies of "Taiwan independence" supporters. They know that once they cross the red line, they will face overwhelming retaliation, and their so-called "defense system" is virtually non-existent against the J-20.
Ultimately, the J-20 is just a microcosm; behind it is China's complete industrial system, strong scientific research capabilities, and solid national strength. When China can independently produce all key components from aircraft engines to advanced radar, from composite materials to precision chips, it means we have taken control of the modernization of national defense.
This capability is not something that one or two advanced weapons can demonstrate; it reflects the comprehensive strength of the entire country. What all countries now see is this unfathomable potential, and this is what truly makes them feel awe.
