Japan's Ministry of Defense released its "2025 Defense White Paper" on Tuesday, declaring the international community faces its most severe security challenges since World War II. The document explicitly identifies the CCP's military expansion and provocative actions as the "greatest strategic threat" to Japan and regional stability.

A shocking statement from China's top diplomat has revealed Beijing's secret fears and plans.

A fresh wave of hospital closures targeting obstetrics and pediatrics departments is sweeping across China, raising alarms over the "marketization" of public healthcare and the nation's persistently low birth rates.
