here are only four other surviving Communist states: Vietnam, Laos, North Korea and Cuba.The deep mistrust that complicates China's relationships with Vietnam and North Korea, and its ties with Laos, demonstrates that even similarity of political structures does not create influence.
It is also important to recognize that much of the gloss has worn off the Chinese model in the last decade. However successful he has been at amassing power, Xi has not proved particularly competent at governance. The unprepared abrupt shift from his zero-COVID policy to the fiasco we are now witnessing, as infections soar and medical facilities fall short, is only the latest of his missteps. It is hard to think of any of his initiatives as an unqualified success.
Returns on China's investments in influence have been most marginal where they have been most focused: Asia in general and Southeast Asia in particular."
3. Taiwan China War-
A full-scale war involving the US and Japan in the defence of Taiwan against an invasion of the island by China would involve “massive attrition” on both sides, dwarfing the scale of the war in Ukraine, a war game exercise shows.
The exercise, run by the Washington think-tank Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), is set in 2026.All scenarios start with a lightning invasion of Taiwan by China, and the assumption that the island does not quickly give up.
A hypothetical Chinese invasion of Taiwan “quickly founders” but exacts high costs on Taiwan and the US Navy, according to the results of an extensive set of war games released Monday by a Washington think tank.
Despite “massive Chinese bombardment, Taiwanese ground forces stream to the beachhead, where the invaders struggle to build up supplies and move inland” as “US submarines, bombers, and fighter aircraft, often reinforced by Japan Self-Defense Forces, rapidly cripple the Chinese amphibious fleet,” in the “most likely” scenario.
4. Chinese Bid To Dominate Container Shipping Industry-
A shipping company with deep ties to Chinese state-owned companies purchased container terminals in New York and New Jersey in December, raising serious questions about the ability and willingness of the West to counter China’s strategic capability.
China’s growing maritime commercial logistics empire poses a direct threat to the liberal international order. Beijing is building a platform for control of oceanic commerce and an amphibious invasion force that is extending the frontier of Chinese Communist Party influence all over world.
5. Japnese PM Visit to Europe-
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is discussing security cooperation with European counterparts during his Group of Seven tour, a further sign of how shared concern about Russia and China is breaking down old geographical divisions. Kishida explained Japan's recently revised national security strategy in a meeting on Tuesday with Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni.
They agreed to elevate the countries' relationship to a strategic partnership and to hold consultations between foreign policy and defense officials.
6. Russia and Iran are working on a new shipping corridor that cuts Europe and its sanctions out of the picture, and are looking to partner with India, which has kept its distance from the Western-led isolation campaign against the two countries. Advantage India.
7. Non-residents from 10 countries will soon use UPI for fund transfer

8. Bengaluru set for Army Day Parade
"Karnataka became the first State to host this mega national event for the first time outside Delhi because the first Army Chief Major General K M Cariappa took command of the Indian Army from General Sir Francis Roy Bucher, the last British Commander-in-Chief in 1949, thus becoming the first Indian Commander-in-Chief post-independence.
9. Situation along Northern border stable but unpredictable: Army Chief Manoj Pande

At the same time Gen Pande said cross-border support to terrorism and terror infrastructure remained. The Chief of Army Staff also said that a proposal for induction of women personnel into artillery units has been sent to the government.

Low-Cost Proxy War In J&K Will Continue
The targeted killing of Hindus in Raujori on Jan 1 that left seven innocent including women and children dead and 14 injured, has once again exposed the ugly face of Pakistan.
In an attempt to conceal involvement of existing terrorist groups in targeting Hindus, the ISI has created fake entities like United Liberation Front of Kashmir [ULFK], The Resistance Force [TRF], Kashmir Tigers [KT] and People’s Anti-Fascist Force [PAFF]. While these groups don’t physically exist, their fictitious ‘spokespersons’ promptly take responsibility for targeted killing of Hindus, migrants and other soft targets.
