The rise of the Beidou Satellite Navigation System (BDS)  is not merely a chronicle of Chinese technological success, but the palpable manifestation of a strategic imperative for autarky  imposed by the leadership of Xi Jinping . Starting from the necessity to eliminate a crippling technological vulnerability—reliance on GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) controlled by foreign powers—China has forged Beidou into an instrument of Information Sovereignty  ( 信息主权 ) and,

On October 28, the 18th session of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People's Congress voted to approve the decision to amend the Cybersecurity Law , which will come into effect on January 1, 2026 . This regulatory revision comes amid growing global technological and ideological competition. Digital sovereignty has become a crucial battleground, with major powers vying to assert control over cyberspace and data flows. The People's Republic of China (PRC) , unde

The Formulation of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030): The Inevitable Merger of Security and Development in Xi Jinping's Imperial Mandate The global geopolitical landscape has been unequivocally redefined by the outcomes of the Fourth Plenum of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) , which concluded in Beijing in October 2025. The immediate context is marked by the public release today, October 28, 2025 , of the two documents that constitute the id

The world has entered a phase of profound and structural strategic competition between great powers , where confrontation is no longer limited to the traditional economic or military spheres but is increasingly fought on the ground of technological supremacy and institutional shaping . This new scenario, often described as "targeted decoupling" or "institutional warfare," has triggered a radical transformation in the landscape of global Science and Technology (S&T) governance

Extrema Ratio: The PRC's National Defense Education Reform (2022-2024) The Mandate of Qiushi

The advent of Embodied AI , with increasingly autonomous and integrated humanoid robots, marked a point of no return in global security. Cyber threats have moved beyond the realm of code to manifest as risks of physical harm and destruction. The news is dominated by the " GeekCon 2025 Fist ," the incident in which a hacker attack on a Chinese robot demonstrated how easily a machine can be compromised and turned into a weapon, even a "digital Trojan horse" capable of infecting

China is implementing a systematic and programmatic strategy to build geoeconomic power levers, transforming global dependence into a tool for coercion while simultaneously ensuring self-sufficiency in its critical areas. This holistic strategy, where control over supply chains is a crucial weapon, aims to shape a new world order. Beijing has meticulously gained control over vital supply chains—dominating the markets for strategic sectors like Rare Earth Metals (REM) , Active

The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) , held in Beijing from October 20 to 23, 2025, approved the guidelines for the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) . This document does not represent a rupture, but the continuity and strategic intensification  of policies initiated with the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) and the long-term vision of Xi Jinping. China is preparing for a "long twilight struggle" against the West,

How US Restrictions Catalyzed Huawei and the CCP's Circumvention Strategy Chinese chip manufacturers are implementing a strategy of ingenious innovation to circumvent American restrictions . In fact, the "microchip war," triggered by US restrictions starting in 2018, did not block the Chinese semiconductor industry but catalyzed its strategic response: innovation by circumvention . This approach is now officially enshrined as a national mission in the Communique of the Fourt

THE STRATEGY OF DENIAL AT A CROSSROADS: Chinese Barges and the Urgency for US Action in Taiwan

The Atomic Interference Gyroscope (AIG) , based on the use of ultra-cold atoms and the matter-wave Sagnac effect, represents the quantum leap  in high-precision inertial navigation technology. Promising a potential accuracy billions of times greater than the best optical sensors (FOG, RLG), the AIG is set to redefine the concept of autonomous Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT)  in environments where satellite signals (GNSS) are denied. This analysis explores the global

OSINT analysis of a vast body of research from key Chinese institutions reveals a coordinated and highly focused national strategy to dominate the next generation of stealthy and resilient drone warfare . The program focuses on the goal of making UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) virtually undetectable and immune to any form of electronic or cyber attack. The most advanced engineering solutions are based on Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) and its multi-agent algorithms (suc

The Anatomy of Modernization: A Financial and Strategic OSINT Analysis of China's Future Military Power

According to the latest privileged information acquired through in-depth industry analysis and targeted consultation of recent open sources (OSINT), the current state of China's low observability (stealth) program represents the most serious and complex challenge to traditional concepts of electronic warfare and aerial maneuverability. The Beijing program is not limited to developing individual stealth components, but is building a dynamic and cohesive warfare architecture wh

On October 19, the Chinese national security agencies recently disclosed a major cyberattack case, stating they obtained irrefutable evidence that the United States’ National Security Agency (NSA)  launched a cyberattack and infiltrated China's National Time Service Center (NTSC) . The cyberattack was long-planned, progressive, and systematic. Starting in 2022, the U.S. exploited a vulnerability in the SMS service of a foreign-branded mobile phone to secretly attack and contr

The current phase of global scientific and industrial transformation positions Smart Computing  ( Zhìsuàn , 智算) as the fundamental productive force  and a critical element of China's national security . The explosion in computing demand, particularly driven by generative artificial intelligence, has made technological self-reliance and strength  a top priority. As President Xi Jinping stated , "A nation thrives through scientific advancement; a country grows strong with tech
