Thailand to Speed Up Construction of Joint-Chinese High-Speed Railway
Thailand’s recently renewed commitment toward finishing the already under-construction Thai-Chinese high-speed railway may help move the Southeast Asian nation forward, out of the shadow of years of Western-induced political instability, and into the light of peace and prosperity as it and the rest of the region rise with China.

Western Backed “Pro-Democracy” Terrorists Wage War In Myanmar
Western Backed “Pro-Democracy” Terrorists Wage War In Myanmar
04-12-2023: If the West’s corporate media is anything to go by, popular pro-democracy groups in Myanmar have linked with ethnically based armed organisations in an attempt to restore civilian rule in the South-East Asian nation, which is bordered by Bangladesh and India to the west, Laos and Thailand to the east, and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the north. Supposedly, the Tatmadaw (the military of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar) cancelled elections in February 2021, brought the military to political power, and then proceeded to wage war against all those who resisted the takeover. Of course, this narrative, like many spun in the corporate media of the West, is little but an elaborate fabrication. In reality, the ruling classes of the West, principally those of the United States of America (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) are engaged in yet another proxy war of regime change in Myanmar,[1] which is squarely aimed not only at Naypyidaw, but also against its giant northern neighbour and economic and political partner, the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Negotiating the Tide: The Vital Role of Bilateral Talks between PH & CN in Steering Through the SCS Dispute
The statement of Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro just this week, where he said that entering into bilateral negotiations over the dispute in the South China Sea (SCS) between the Philippines and China will just be playing into China’s playbook, is quite perplexing. Teodoro says bilateral talks with China on the issue over the SCS dispute will only hamper and strangle the Philippines’ rights and position. This is one of the reasons why the Philippines is seeking multilateralism.

The Brotherhood Alliance ‘Operation 1027’ in Shan State
The Brotherhood Alliance seized over 30 military outposts in two days of fighting since it launched “Operation 1027” in northern Shan State on Oct. 27. The National Unity Government (NUG)* is cooperating with the Brotherhood Alliance and is preparing the People’s Defense Forces (PDF) in other regions and states to coordinate attacks against the military. Read the latest here.
The point of the attack: It is a route along the China-Myanmar Economic Corridor. and is the main route for transporting goods traded by China and Myanmar through the Muze and Qingshuihe border checkpoints. With an annual trading value of more than 5 billion US dollars, 8 days ago these routes were paralyzed. No one dared to travel through. especially cargo trucks Due to the fact that during normal times there must be transport of goods in and out. Thousands of vehicles follow these routes each day.
