China’s state-owned defense company Poly Technologies on Aug. 31, 2022, shipped navigation equipment to Russia’s state-owned military export firm JSC Rosoboronexport for M-17 military transport helicopters. Earlier that month, Chinese electronics firm Fujian Nanan Baofeng Electronic Co. supplied to Rosoboronexport—through an Uzbek state-owned defense firm—a telescoping antenna for the RB-531BE military vehicle, which is used for communications jamming. On Oct. 24, Chinese state-owned aircraft firm AVIC International Holding Corp. shipped to AO Kret, a subsidiary of sanctioned government-owned defense giant Rostec, $1.2 million worth of parts for Su-35 jet fighters.
Su-35 parts for Russia? What would that be?
Netanjahu just wants to use Iran as a distraction so the demonstrators at home don't stop him from "reforming" the judicial system.
China should really invest in strengthening its allies. Technologically advanced allies like Europe and Japan are the Americans' biggest strength. Russia, Iran and North Korea all have a fairly robust industrial and technological bases, strong enough to survive decades of sanctions, but they need more capital. Meanwhile Pakistan is bankrupt. China needs to build up the strength of countries that are dedicated to the fight against western hegemony
The hilarity that would ensure if it was just some PhD weather tracking project that failed to respond and left adrift, but the Chinese government have like no incentive to tell the Americans about it and even if they did, would the Americans accept it?
Now they have ELINT circling it with fighters on standby on order from the president to bring it down, this has easily costed them millions already. Domestically it has become a political bomb as they have left it so long that whether a shootdown is successful or not people will be pissed off that it took so long to take action. It would actually be funnier if the Chinese side slip a mention in there that it is a military balloon so that the two sides will rip each other apart in the ensuring blame game.

Basically what happens when your society has been infiltrated. It starts with education system as we have seen in hong kong and also likely unintended consequence with countries (including China's) obsession with mandatory english lessons
“Schools in the Philippines focused on American history and Western culture instead of Filipino culture and history,” says Chu. “A generation of Filipinos were educated to think that U.S. colonization was good for the country.”
“Even today with the military bases being established, many Filipinos would support that because they think of China as the enemy, and the U.S. having the Philippines’ best interest.”

Honestly from the looks of it China can pull it off alone given time, in fact the balance of power won't change even if these countries switched side to Western camp after China has achieved its full potential, the scenario would probably end up being both western and anti-Western blocks competing to curry favor China
