Trump CAVES on China
Farron Balanced
13.05.2025
Just days after it was revealed that there are currently ZERO ships headed from China to US ports, Donald Trump announced that he was temporarily walking back his 145% tariffs on Chinese goods coming into the country.
China is also reducing their tariffs on US goods, but details of the temporary reduction are scarce. Trump is being hit for backing down on his signature policy, but the reality is that Trump's capitulation and fear may have saved millions of Americans.

China Unveils Mosquito-Sized Spy Drone
By Hamza29 June 2025
Beijing moves another piece forward in the tech warfare chessboard.
According to a recent video broadcast by military channel CCTV-7, China has developed a mosquito-sized micro spy drone. Touted as a breakthrough in the field of military bionic robotics, the device is as fascinating as it is concerning.
“I’m holding a robot that looks like a mosquito,” says Liang Hexiang, a student at the National University of Defense Technology (NUDT) in Changsha, in a clip aired by Chinese state television.
Measuring just 2 cm long, 3 cm wide and weighing only 0.2 grams, the micro drone is described as a formidable reconnaissance tool capable of carrying out special missions with extreme discretion.
According to South China Morning Post and Chosun Ilbo, it is equipped with transparent wings that can beat up to 500 times per second and legs as fine as human hair.
A Technical Feat That’s Hard to Achieve
Interesting Engineering highlights the complexity of developing such a device: integrating power systems, control electronics, and miniaturized sensors poses a major technological challenge. However, no footage has been released showing the “mosquito drone” in flight. This visual absence has fueled skepticism about the actual state of the project.
“It is very difficult to make a device of this size fly autonomously, let alone collect usable data,” notes Timothy Heath, a China specialist at the Rand Corporation.
He adds that operational deployment of such drones would require substantial human and logistical resources, including constant monitoring, frequent recharging, and meticulous sorting of collected data.
Not China’s First Foray into Miniature Drones
This is not the first time China has signaled its ambitions in the field of miniature drones. Just last month, Beijing unveiled a carrier for suicide drones, reflecting an offensive strategy supported by a growing array of futuristic prototypes.
This latest announcement may serve as much a geopolitical message as a technological one—especially at a time when the United States recently demonstrated its military dominance through the use of GBU-57 “bunker buster” bombs against Iran’s nuclear program.
A Miniature Arms Race Already Underway
China is not alone in exploring the potential of micro drones. In 2019, Harvard University unveiled the RoboBee, a prototype with a wingspan of 3 cm, designed to fly in coordinated swarms, originally intended for research and artificial pollination.
RoboBee (Harvard):
- Length: approximately 2.5 to 3 cm
- Weight: around 0.08 grams
- Wingspan: close to 3 cm
It is ultra-light and designed to fly in swarms. It often requires an external power source (via tether or directed energy beam), although an autonomous version with a micro-battery was tested in 2019.
Black Hornet (PD-100):
- Length: approximately 10 cm
- Weight: 18 grams
- Rotor span: around 12 cm
It is equipped with cameras and sensors and can fly for up to 25 minutes, with a range of 1 to 2 km depending on conditions.
As drone warfare intensifies on all fronts, China is making yet another media move in a broader, double-edged technological strategy.
While the “mosquito drone” is impressive on paper, its real-world effectiveness remains unproven.
Between disruptive innovation and propaganda, the line can be as thin as an insect’s wings. The coming months will reveal whether this device becomes an operational asset—or remains a mere showcase of power.

China’s “Silent Bomb” Alarms Experts: A New Kind of High-Tension Shadow War?
By Yassine Atoui
4 July 2025
A report published by the Italian website Scenari Economici and authored by journalist Fabio Lugano sheds light on a new weapon developed by China: a graphite bomb, presented as a formidable strategic tool capable of paralyzing entire nations—without spilling a single drop of blood.
Dubbed a “silent bomb” or “blackout bomb,” this weapon—previously tested by other powers in past conflicts—has drawn renewed attention following its recent broadcast by Chinese state television CCTV.
The network released striking footage of a missile test carried out by Chinese forces, in which a precision-guided missile disperses 90 cylindrical submunitions filled with chemically treated carbon filaments.
An Invisible but Electric Threat
These microscopic filaments, which are highly conductive, are designed to trigger massive short circuits across electrical networks: transformers, distribution stations, and vital infrastructure. A single attack can cover up to 10,000 square meters, instantly knocking out power in an entire urban area.According to the report, the warhead weighs 490 kg and can hit targets up to 290 kilometers away. If verified, this range would allow China to strike critical infrastructure in neighboring countries—without crossing borders.
The weapon is believed to have been developed by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, a major conglomerate closely tied to the Chinese Ministry of Defense. Although not officially named, many experts consider it a Chinese version of the American BLU-114/B, used by the United States in Iraq and Serbia to disable up to 85% of an enemy’s electrical capacity during the early stages of conflict.
Taiwan in the Crosshairs?
Beyond the technological implications, the geopolitical message is clear. Analysts widely see Taiwan as a potential target in a future confrontation with Beijing. Disabling its power grid at the onset of hostilities would give China a major strategic edge—without the immediate use of force.According to Fabio Lugano, such a “non-lethal” first strike would allow China to weaken an adversary while avoiding the fallout of a direct military confrontation, especially under the watchful eye of the international community.
Toward a Doctrine of Non-Kinetic Warfare
The graphite bomb reflects a doctrinal shift in modern warfare, long theorized by Chinese military strategists. In 2017, analyst Chen Chundi described such weapons as “ideal for bypassing the strongest defenses and achieving paralysis by targeting systems of command, communication, intelligence, and surveillance.”This doctrine operates on a simple premise: there is no need to destroy a country militarily if its vital functions can be neutralized. In this context, targeting electrical and digital infrastructures becomes central in what are known as hybrid wars.
Earlier Chinese military circles had already studied similar bombs, but the footage released by CCTV suggests significant advances in precision, range, and impact. Some experts even point to satellite-guided systems that could improve the submunitions’ trajectory and effectiveness.
The partial unveiling of this weapon indicates that China is moving toward an asymmetric technological strategy, focused on neutralizing adversaries’ capabilities rather than engaging in direct destruction.
A Silent War in the Age of Tech Vulnerability
As tensions between China and the U.S., and between China and Taiwan, continue to mount, the graphite bomb seems perfectly tailored to a new generation of warfare—where sabotage replaces conventional strikes.More broadly, this evolution raises alarm bells for nations heavily dependent on digital and energy infrastructure—especially in Europe and the Global South—where vulnerabilities to electromagnetic or cyber-attacks are high, and cyber-energy resilience is increasingly a matter of national security.
This is a war with no sounds, no flames… but definitely not without consequences.

Chinese health authorities have reported a concerning rise in chikungunya cases — a viral disease transmitted through mosquito bites that causes high fever and severe joint pain. According to official data, more than 7,000 confirmed cases had been recorded by early August 2025, with the majority concentrated in the city of Foshan.
To curb the spread of the virus, authorities this week launched a large-scale campaign that includes spraying insecticides in streets and residential areas, deploying drones to identify mosquito breeding sites, and releasing fish that feed on mosquito larvae into lakes. They have also introduced a specific species known as the “elephant mosquito,” which preys on the larvae of mosquitoes that carry the virus.
As part of stricter enforcement, authorities have imposed fines of up to 10,000 yuan (around $1,400) on residents who leave stagnant water in their homes — such as in flowerpots or coffee trays — as these provide ideal conditions for mosquito breeding.

Many people know that China has talks and plans for invading Taiwan. Far less people know the full history here, causing them to miss the full story.
While many people think of Taiwan as a modern geopolitical event, the truth is that China has been talking about invading Taiwan for decades - approximately 50 years, since the 1970s.
Nothing has ever happened. When we understand WHY China hasn't invaded Taiwan yet, and we compare it to what is happening today, we begin to see a clear picture of why China would likely NOT invade Taiwan in the near future.
In this history and geopolitics lecture, I cover everything, from the military strategy, to the economic analysis, to China's demographics, to the connection to Russia's war against Ukraine and how that changes the calculus, and more. You won't want to miss this one.
