China slams ‘war-addicted’ US
China’s defense ministry has accused the Pentagon of fabricating false narratives and twisting reality in order to deceive the public with incorrect perceptions in its latest annual report on Chinese military and security developments.
The US Department of Defense report, issued this week, misinterpreted China’s defense policies, speculated about its military capacity, pried in the country’s domestic affairs, and “desperately slandered” Beijing in order to exaggerate the so-called Chinese threat, according to ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang.
“The ‘war-addicted’ United States has become the biggest destroyer of international order and the greatest threat to global security,” Zhang stated.
Beijing “strongly deplores and firmly opposes” the contents of the 182-page report, Zhang said, claiming that the US was only seeking excuses for the development of its own military capacity. He emphasized that China adheres to a path of peaceful development and national defense policy while fulfilling the international responsibilities expected of a major power.
The US, on the other hand, utilizes its military strength to maintain unilateral hegemony and frequently resorts to extreme pressure in order to forcibly promote “regime changes” and incite “color revolutions,” Zhang said. He cited the examples of illegal wars and military activity in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria, that have resulted in severe civilian casualties and immense humanitarian disasters.
Zhang further criticized the US for its nuclear policies, noting that China’s reflects unparalleled stability, continuity, and predictability among all nuclear-armed states.
“We adhere to a nuclear strategy of self-defense and a no-first-use policy, ensuring that our nuclear capabilities remain at the minimum level required for national security,” he said, according to the Global Times.
Meanwhile, Washington's nuclear policies, such as its AUKUS submarine cooperation with the UK and Australia, undermine the international nuclear non-proliferation system and significantly disrupt international and regional peace and stability, Zhang noted. He urged the US to engage in serious self-reflection and provide a responsible account to the international community.
The spokesman also addressed the Taiwan question, warning that attempts to separate the island from mainland China will never be tolerated.
“The Chinese people are determined to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity,” he said, slamming Washington’s arms sales and military aid to Taipei as a violation of the one-China principle.
Despite his harsh criticism, Zhang emphasized that military relations form a crucial part of the broader China-US relationship, expressing hope that in the future, Washington will engage more constructively with Beijing.
“We aim to build a military relationship based on equality and respect, characterized by no conflict or confrontation, open and pragmatic cooperation, and gradually accumulating mutual trust,” he said.

NATO member sent ‘gender advisors’ to Ukraine
The Canadian Armed Forces has deployed “gender advisors” to such conflict zones as Ukraine and Haiti, a recent internal report has revealed.
The deployments were part of the Department of National Defence’s Military Cooperation Program, which primarily provides advice and assistance to non-NATO countries. According to the 2024 report, the initiative has helped train nearly 2,000 military personnel from 55 countries. It has focused on the “integration of women and gender perspectives in the armed forces.”
“Gender Advisors and Gender Focal Points,” both full- and part-time roles, are deployed in all CAF international operations to help “Commanders in the application of GBA+ and gender perspectives” institutionally and operationally.
The abbreviation stands for Gender-Based Analysis Plus - a commitment introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion across all government departments.
“In 2023, notable opportunities to apply Gender-Based Analysis Plus (GBA Plus) and intersectional perspectives to operational support occurred in Poland, Ukraine, Haiti, and Latvia,” the report details.
In Poland, Canadian gender advisors and gender focal points are said to have connected with “local and Ukraine-based non-governmental organizations and interested parties” among other activities.
In Haiti, the efforts have led to “intersectional factors being applied towards stabilization and humanitarian efforts in the country,” the DND claims.
The report concludes that implementing the GBA Plus program has enhanced the Canadian military’s “cognition of the gender considerations and inclusivity” – something that has presumably translated into “mission success.”
However, True North, a media outlet, quoted Andrew MacGillivray, president of the Canadian group Veterans for Freedom, as criticizing the growing emphasis on gender analysis. He argued that GBA Plus has strayed from its original purpose of addressing the needs of female service members regarding equipment. MacGillivray asserted that the initiative has now become a “burdensome policy” that has affected every aspect of the Canadian Armed Forces.
MacGillivray also expressed doubt that “countries at war or in a humanitarian crisis that we are trying to help care about gender nonsense being pushed by Canada when they are struggling to keep people alive.”
In September, the US Navy commissioned its first-ever “fully gender-integrated” submarine, with plans to build all future vessels according to these standards. These include, among other things, increased privacy in sleeping areas and restrooms.
Earlier this year, Fox News cited a leaflet issued by the US intelligence community’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) Office as extolling the supposed benefits of cross-dressing for intelligence officers.
Good grief! Trudeau's unparalleled commitment to DEIA is maddening when you consider that he has done absolutely nothing to protect children from the exploding child sexual abuse in his 9 years in office. Not one single thing, as child sexual abuse is beyond any atrocity that mankind has ever committed upon itself.
