    BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) — China saw double-digit growth in passenger car retail sales last month as the country continued to implement policies to stimulate consumption, the China Association of Passenger Automobile Manufacturers said Monday.

    Moscow, June 9 /Xinhua/ — The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has thwarted an attempt to commit sabotage at a defense enterprise in the Moscow region, the FSB’s Public Relations Center (PRC) reported.

    “The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation has stopped the illegal activity of two Russian citizens, born in 1987 and 1999, who intended to commit sabotage at one of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex (MIC) in the Moscow region,” the FSB Public Relations Center said in a statement.

    The detainees acted on instructions from a Ukrainian organization recognized by the Russian Supreme Court as terrorist, the FSB Public Relations Center reported, without specifying its name. They established contact with representatives of the organization via Telegram, “acting independently of each other.”

    In preparation for the sabotage, the detainees conducted reconnaissance and photography of key facilities of the enterprise, sending the resulting footage to their curators, the FSB Public Relations Center added. They removed the components for the homemade explosive device from pre-prepared hiding places.

    Both men have been arrested. They confessed to carrying out tasks for a terrorist organization aimed at stopping the operation of a defense industry facility, the FSB Public Relations Center said.

    “The Russian FSB draws attention to the fact that Ukrainian special services are increasingly using the Telegram and WhatsApp messengers to involve citizens in sabotage and intelligence activities,” the statement says. –0–

      BEIJING, June 9 — “The Taiwan question is at the very core of China’s core interests, and is the first red line that must not be crossed in China-US relations,” said Senior Colonel Jiang Bin, spokesperson for China’s Ministry of National Defense, at a press briefing on Monday. 

      It is reported that the US is transporting a new batch of M1A2 tanks to Taiwan and plans to increase its arms sales to Taiwan in the next four years. New arms sales may surpass that of the first Trump administration. In addition, a former official of the US military said that about 500 US military personnel are operating in Taiwan, which is over ten times of the number previously disclosed by the US Congress.

      When being asked to comment on these, the Chinese defense spokesperson first pointed out that this is another solid piece of evidence that the US and the “Taiwan independence” separatist forces are taking efforts to violate China’s core interests, change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait and escalate regional tensions.

      “Who is making provocations despite strong opposition from the Chinese side? Who is undermining cross-Strait stability and repeatedly stirring up troubles? We all know the answers. The Chinese side is strongly dissatisfied with  and firmly opposed to this act,” said the spokesperson.

      Following on, the spokesperson urged the US side to stop its military collusion with Taiwan in any form; otherwise it will get burnt for playing with fire and gain more harm than good. He also warned the DPP authorities that the US weapons cannot save them, and soliciting external support for “Taiwan independence” is doomed to fail. 

      “The Chinese PLA will continue to strengthen military training and combat readiness and enhance its capability to fight and win. We will take resolute measures to thwart “Taiwan independence” separatist activities and external interference,” stressed the spokesperson.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: US companies blame changing trade policy for eroding business prospects for the future – media

    WASHINGTON, June 9 (Xinhua) — American businessmen warn that the U.S. administration’s ever-changing trade policies are making it difficult for them to plan for the future, leading to a freeze in hiring and investment, The Wall Street Journal reported.

    John Starr, owner of UltraSource, a Kansas City, Mo., supplier of meat processing and packing equipment, said he is holding off on hiring or making additional capital investments until there is clarity on tariffs.

    The company is waiting for suppliers in Europe to finalize $20 million in orders it placed before the Trump administration’s 10 percent tariffs went into effect on April 9, the report said. That means it faces a $2 million tax bill if the tariffs remain in place.

    “How am I supposed to pay for this?” said J. Starr, the third-generation owner of the company. “It could wipe out the entire year’s profits.”

    For months, US President Donald Trump has announced one significant tariff increase after another, at times switching from escalation to temporary settlement.

    “Where this all ends depends on what Trump decides to do next, and frankly, even Trump doesn’t know what Trump will do next,” Christopher Thornberg, a founding partner at Beacon Economics in Los Angeles, was quoted as saying in the article. “So it’s almost impossible to know where this is going.”

    In this environment, the US economy faces three main risks in the coming months, namely a potential rise in unemployment, a decline in consumer demand, and disruptions caused by financial market turmoil or sharp changes in sentiment, the article says.

    With the possibility of companies laying off workers due to low demand remaining, unemployment could rise quickly once such a scenario becomes a reality.

    At the same time, the level of delinquent debt on consumer loans has been rising for a year, raising concerns that the worsening financial situation of low-income borrowers could lead to a more noticeable slowdown in consumer spending, the article notes.

    For many companies, the uncertainty caused by Trump’s sudden and seemingly arbitrary tariff announcements has impacted sales prospects this year, the article says.

    “I have to take action immediately,” said J. Starr. “We will be very careful about any cash expenditures just because we need the money to pay the tariff.” -0-

    BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) — China’s consumer inflation eased in May, driven by lower energy and food prices, while producer prices also continued to fall, data released by the National Bureau of Statistics showed Monday.

    According to the agency, in May the consumer price index /CPI/, the main indicator of inflation, fell by 0.1 percent year-on-year and by 0.2 percent month-on-month.

    The main factor that influenced the May CPI was the decline in energy prices. The contribution of this group of goods to the decline in CPI on an annual basis was 0.47 percentage points, noted /GSU/ statistician Dong Lijuan.

    According to her, positive price changes have been observed in some sectors against the backdrop of the country’s ongoing policy of stimulating consumption.

    The core CPI, which excludes food and energy prices, rose by 0.6 percent year-on-year in May, compared to 0.5 percent in April, according to data from the State Statistics Service.

    In May, food prices in the country fell by 0.4 percent year-on-year, while prices for non-food products remained unchanged.

    Consumer prices fell by 0.5 percent, while service prices rose by 0.5 percent.

    Overall, in January-May, the CPI in China fell by 0.1 percent compared to the same period last year.

    The latest data from the State Statistics Service also showed that the producer price index (PPI), which measures the overall change in wholesale producer prices, fell 3.3 percent year-on-year in May, an improvement from a 2.7 percent drop in April.

    Dong Lijuan attributed the decline in PPI to the fall in global crude oil prices, which led to lower prices in China’s oil-related industries, as well as a seasonal decline in demand for energy and raw materials. As the statistician explained, seasonal factors led to a decline in coal prices, while hot and rainy weather also disrupted construction activity in the southern regions.

    On a monthly basis, the PPI fell by 0.4 percent in May. In the first five months of the year, the PPI declined by 2.6 percent compared to a year earlier. -0-

  • MIL-OSI USA: Díaz-Balart Leads FL Delegation on Homestead Air Reserve Base F-35A Letter to Trump Administration

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (25th District of FLORIDA)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart (FL-26), Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, led a 17-member coalition from the Florida Congressional Delegation in a letter to President Trump and his administration requesting sustained F-35A production and fielding to modernize the aging F-16C fleet at Homestead Air Reserve Base.

    “As Dean of the Florida Delegation, I am acutely aware of the security threats our nation faces from drug trafficking, transnational criminal organizations, and the increasing malign influence and presence of anti-American adversaries like Russia and China in the Southern Hemisphere. Florida is foundational in protecting our national security, countering the southern border threats and defending our Eastern coastline.

    “For these reasons, having the modern, multi-role F-35A fighter aircraft at HomesteadAir Reserve Base, which has served as a foundational line of defense for over 80 years, is a vital asset and will ensure the United States’ readiness in confronting these threats to our national security,” said Congressman Mario Díaz-Balart.

    “As America faces growing threats from our adversaries like Communist China and Putin’s Russia, the need to modernize our air defenses has never been more urgent,” said Congressman Carlos Gimenez. “The F-35 is the most advanced fighter jet in the world, and its production is critical to maintaining our military dominance. Located in Florida’s 28th District, Homestead Air Reserve Base must receive the investments and upgrades needed to support the next generation of tactical air power. South Florida plays a strategic role in our national defense, and Homestead must be ready to host and sustain the F-35 mission for decades to come.” 

    Read the full text of the letter here or below.

    “We would first like to thank you for your efforts to keep our nation safe, make our military the most lethal military force in the world and return peace through strength around the world. As Commander in Chief, you understand the critical role Florida plays in delivering on that mission and protecting our national security. From deterring and preventing the approximately $2.7 trillion impact to American lives through fentanyl counternarcotics efforts to supporting Southern border operations and homeland defense alert missions along our coastlines, Homestead Air Force Reserve Base (HARB) is critical for our national security. Florida’s strategic location makes it uniquely postured to counter Chinese, Russian, Violent Extremist Organizations (VEOs), and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and their influence in the southern hemisphere. These regional threats are the largest contributor to the state of national emergency within the United States over illegal aliens, infiltration of Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gangs, and illicit opioids.

    “Under your leadership as both our 45th and 47th president, Florida continues to fight the cartels and drug traffickers, leading to South Florida being named the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area of the Year. We dismantled or disrupted 54 drug trafficking organizations in 2023 and seized an estimate value of $748 million in illicit drugs, including 23 metric tons of cocaine, 248 kilograms of methamphetamine, and 224 kilograms of fentanyl.

    “Through U.S. Southern Command, appropriately headquartered in Florida, we are tracking and thwarting Chinese efforts to expand their Belt and Road Initiative in Latin American Countries to monopolize natural resources, such as 20% of the world’s oil reserves, 25% of the strategic metals, and 31% of the fishing areas. We are working to claw back the $358 billion amassed by 35 TCOs in the region in 2023 through interdiction and counter trafficking efforts to help stabilize South America, preventing their problems from reaching our shores. The Russian Surface Action Group, led by the frigate Admiral Gorshkov and cruise missile submarine Kazan docked in Havana, Cuba, passed within 30 miles of the Florida Keys last June. Florida is uniquely postured to support the border alert mission to deter these acts of aggression.

    “Within Florida, HARB serves a foundational role in supporting the most critical national defense missions. HARB generated $364 million for the local economy in 2023 alone. It is the home to the 2,500-member 482nd Fighter Wing and its reserve associate, the 367th Fighter Squadron, responsible for F-16 alerts across the coastline in support of Operation Noble Eagle. It houses the Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Branch, operating Blackhawks and turbo-prop airliners like the DHC-8 to interdict smugglers and prevent illegal aliens from crossing into the United States. Special Operations Command South Headquarters is also resident at HARB, executing special operations as assigned to U.S. Southern Command, spanning 31 countries and 10 overseas territories across Central and South America and the Caribbean.

    “Florida’s Gulf of America, Atlantic Ocean access, and its proximity to Central and South America is what drove the 125th Fighter Wing Air National Guard (ANG) unit selection for the F-35A Lightning II. Starting with an initial batch of aircraft to Jacksonville ANG in March of this year and expanding to the 125th Fighter Wing Detachment 1 at HARB in 2027. The Air Force Reserve also planned this F-35A modernization to replace the aging F-16C fleet within the 482nd Fighter Wing. This would create a common fighter platform between the Reserves and National Guard at HARB, reducing costs for base operations through shared maintenance efforts. Together, these units would provide a considerable increase in readiness for the North American Aerospace Defense Command Alert mission across both the Southern and Eastern U.S. border as well as downrange multi-role operations through short-notice worldwide deployments.

    “Together, we ask your administration to ensure that the F-35A goes to Homestead Air Reserve Base and the F-35A production quantities remain undeterred. There is no real trade when comparing other airframes and locales to a multi-role fighter aircraft capable of countering Russian, Chinese, VEOs, and TCOs operations across the entirety of the Southern and Eastern U.S. border and throughout the Southern Hemisphere. HARB is a vital asset for our national security and power projection, and critical for your Peace through Strength agenda. Thank you again for your leadership and we hope you will consider, within all applicable rules and regulations, our input on the matter.”

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: AI Self-Learning Fabric Inspecting System

    Source: Republic of China Taiwan

    The AI Self-Learning Fabric Inspecting System is a groundbreaking solution designed to modernize and automate the global textile inspection process. Traditionally, fabric inspection has relied heavily on manual labor, with a speed of just 10 yards per minute and only about 70% defect detection accuracy. It also demands experienced operators with at least three years of hands-on expertise and causes significant visual fatigue. Our system transforms this outdated method by offering a fully automated, 24/7 operation capable of inspecting fabric at 120 yards per minute-12 times faster than current market standards-while achieving up to 99% detection accuracy.

    At its core, the system utilizes dual AI algorithms: one for automatic color temperature adjustment (ranging from 1000K to 11000K), and another for precise fabric tension control. These intelligent features allow it to outperform the human eye in detecting subtle defects. The system’s user-centric design enables a single operator to install fabric within five minutes (compared to at least 20 minutes in traditional setups) and to manage multiple machines simultaneously. Operator training requires only two days after AI engineers configure the system.

    The system went through 30 rounds of prototyping and AI optimization to reach its current performance. It drastically reduces human error and reliance on skilled labor, and it minimizes workplace injuries due to its ergonomic, automated process.
    In terms of business impact, the system offers clear advantages: over 50% labor cost savings per unit, more than 30% material waste reduction, and increased production efficiency. It marks defect locations with 99% accuracy and is capable of future updates that include automated defect pattern analysis, helping fabric suppliers improve quality control and manufacturing processes.

    Environmentally, it reduces resource waste and improves logistics efficiency by lowering the rate of rejected or returned shipments. Socially, it lightens labor intensity by 40%, enhancing worker health and safety. From a strategic standpoint, it helps bridge the gap between fabric suppliers and global fashion brands by responding to digital transformation needs.

    Directed by Zheng Wenzheng and starring Niu Junfeng and Shang Yuxian, “Threads of the Game” follows a detective investigating the theft of a treasured Ming dynasty manuscript from a secluded family library. He teams up with the family’s heiress to uncover a web of deception, as each relative hides dark secrets, and every clue reveals deadlier twists in a high-stakes battle of wits.

    At an advance screening and Q&A event in Beijing on June 7, the film drew unanimous praise for both its intricate plotting and its immersive, Eastern-inspired visuals.

    Director Zheng told attendees that authenticity was his guiding principle: “Rooted in classical Eastern aesthetics, we meticulously recreated architectural authenticity down to the finest detail,” he said. “From mechanical designs to set decorations, we integrated traditional sunmao joinery — China’s ancient mortise-and-tenon woodworking system — alongside landscape gardening principles, blending these elements seamlessly into the suspense narrative. The result is an immersive world of mystery that balances historical realism with imaginative storytelling.”

    The producers said “Threads of the Game” offers cultural and educational value while showcasing China’s artistic heritage.

    To accurately recreate the historical architecture and landscapes of Ningbo, Zhejiang province, the team built more than 30 detailed sets, including a precision-crafted library featuring traditional woodworking techniques. The props and environments, developed in collaboration with experts, draw inspiration from classical texts including the “Book of Changes,” ensuring the film’s cultural references run as deep as its plot twists.

    The film’s intricate secret chamber puzzles, cultural elements and human drama form what the producers described as a uniquely Eastern psychological thriller.

    “Threads of the Game” will open across China on June 14.

    Robert Lewandowski has withdrawn from the Poland national team, citing a “loss of trust” in head coach Michal Probierz, the striker announced Sunday.

    Lewandowski, 36, is Poland’s all-time leading scorer with 85 goals in 158 appearances, and had served as captain since 2014. But the Barcelona forward said he would no longer represent the national team as long as Probierz remains in charge.

    The rift became public after Probierz informed Lewandowski on Sunday that midfielder Piotr Zielinski would take over the captaincy.

    “By decision of coach Michal Probierz, Piotr Zielinski became the new captain of the Poland team. The coach personally informed Robert Lewandowski, the entire team and the training staff of his decision,” the Polish Football Association (PZPN) said in a statement.

    Shortly afterward, Lewandowski issued a statement of his own.

    “Taking into account the circumstances and a loss of trust in the coach, I have decided to resign from playing for the Poland national team for as long as he remains in charge,” Lewandowski said. “I hope I will still have another chance to play again for the best fans in the world.”

    Poland, currently leading Group G with six points after wins over Lithuania and Malta, will face Finland in Helsinki on Tuesday in its next FIFA World Cup qualifier.

    BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) — China has started a trial unilateral visa-free regime for ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain from June 9, 2025, expanding the scope of China’s unilateral visa-free policy to 47 countries.

    From June 9, 2025 to June 8, 2026, ordinary passport holders from Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain can enter China visa-free for up to 30 days for business, tourism, family visits, exchanges or transit.

He said China will continue to improve its entry policies and add more countries to the visa-free list to work with other countries to achieve common prosperity through broader opening up and deeper cooperation. -0-
