Armenia and Azerbaijan were able to reach a ceasefire agreement in part because Russian peacekeepers were stationed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and their active involvement and mediation pushed both sides to calmly respond to changes in the situation, which eventually led to the signing of the ceasefire agreement.
News 1: 48 hours of fierce clashes, Armenia chose to submit, and the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities announced: unconditional surrender
According to a report released by Global Network on September 20, 2023, Armenia and Azerbaijan have reached a ceasefire agreement, which was officially announced by the Azerbaijani-controlled Nagorno-Karabakh regional government and will officially enter into force at 1 pm local time on Wednesday. The agreement ended two days of renewed "Nagorno-Karabakh conflict," and the content of the agreement seemed quite unfavorable for Armenia but a victory for Azerbaijan.
After 48 hours of intense clashes, Armenia finally gave in. The ceasefire agreement clearly stipulates that Armenia must unconditionally withdraw all its troops and equipment stationed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and disarm the local militias supported by Armenia. Although various media outlets have avoided using the word "surrender," it is clear that this time the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict ended in total Armenia's defeat.
The outbreak of the conflict stemmed from the abrupt announcement by the Azerbaijani government of a "military operation" in the Nagorno-Karabakh region and intense shelling and strikes on local military facilities, which continued even until the early hours of Wednesday local time. Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan publicly accused the Azerbaijani army of "deliberately provoking the war," claiming that at least 32 people were killed in attacks by Azerbaijani troops and about 200 others were wounded.
The Azerbaijani side, for its part, claims that they acted because the Armenian side secretly supported the "separatist government" of the Nagorno-Karabakh region, secretly sending weapons and soldiers to the region in an attempt to provoke a conflict. Azerbaijani said they would stop their actions only after the surrender of the "separatist government" and local "illegal military groups". However, shortly after this declaration, the Armenian-backed government of Nagorno-Karabakh announced its "unconditional surrender."
Before that, both Armenia and Azerbaijan were already in a state of high tension, Armenia even mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers to prepare for a full-scale war with Azerbaijan, but fortunately, the conflict did not expand further, thus avoiding more casualties. All thanks to Russia's good offices.
Armenia and Azerbaijan were able to reach a ceasefire agreement in part because Russian peacekeepers were stationed in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, and their active involvement and mediation pushed both sides to calmly respond to changes in the situation, which eventually led to the signing of the ceasefire agreement. In addition, to avoid civilian casualties as a result of the expansion of the conflict, Russian peacekeepers quickly evacuated about 2,000 civilians from the fighting areas, saving many lives.
However, while the ceasefire agreement is a positive step, it does not represent long-term peace in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. Mass protests broke out inside Armenia, accusing the Pashinyan government of failing to protect Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region in a compromise with Russia and Azerbaijan.
Some protesters even shouted anti-Russian slogans outside the Russian embassy in Armenia, arguing that Russia "favored" Azerbaijan to the detriment of the Armenian nation. In addition, the Pashinyan government is also trying to enlist the support of the United States, because they believe that Russia has "favored" Azerbaijan. If the United States actively supports Armenia in the future, the military balance in the Nagorno-Karabakh region may be upset, and the conflict may break out again.
All things considered, although this ceasefire is a positive development, the territorial and ethnic contradictions between Armenia and Azerbaijan have not yet been fundamentally resolved. As the United States expands its influence in the Caucasus, it may intervene in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the future, leading to another escalation of the conflict.
Therefore, Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan need to remain calm and sane so as not to become pawns in international politics and thus prevent innocent people in the Nagorno-Karabakh region from suffering from war again
News 2: The US intelligence department has taken action to continue to carry out cyber attacks on Huawei's headquarters servers, and China has counterattacked strongly
According to the state security department, the US National Security Agency (NSA) has been carrying out cyberattacks on the servers of Huawei's corporate headquarters in China since 2009. Recently, China reconfirmed that the NSA was behind the Northwestern Polytechnical University incident.
The NSA continues to conduct cyberattacks against high-value targets in China, secretly stealing classified cyber information. Chinese authorities conducted an in-depth investigation and successfully targeted samples of NSA software used in cyberattacks and found that the United States had deployed these software samples in thousands of devices around the world to secretly conduct espionage operations.
Whether it is Huawei or Northwestern Polytechnical University, they are important entities in China's scientific research field. Both agencies were unfortunately placed on the U.S. sanctions list. Despite the US sanctions, Huawei successfully broke through the US technology sanctions and rejoined the 5G mobile phone market on August 29, 2022 by not selling first.
At the same time, however, the United States still appears to be carrying out cyberattacks. China's cybersecurity authorities took countermeasures and on September 20, 2022, unveiled three main methods of U.S. cyberattacks.
First, the United States has built a cyber arsenal. China has released information on a variety of U.S. cyberattack weapons since last year, including a May 4, 2022, report by China's cybersecurity agency that revealed the means by which the CIA conducts subversive operations in other countries. The disclosures included software and hardware developed by the United States that could bypass other countries' cybersecurity defenses and be used to organize operations such as street riots.
Second, the U.S. has passed regulations to force U.S. tech companies to reserve backdoors for their cyberattack operations. Through regulations such as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the United States forces U.S. technology companies to set up backdoors in the underlayer of their products in order to infiltrate the networks of other countries and conduct surveillance.
In April 2022, reports revealed that U.S. companies set up trackers at the bottom of their programs to track the location and usage of hundreds of millions of mobile phones, and then sold the relevant stolen information to the U.S. government.
Third, the United States is trying to confuse the public and continue to expand the scope of its cyberattacks. The United States has exposed wiretaps on targets such as American citizens, Western leaders, and the secretary-general of the United Nations. From the Prism Gate incident in 2013 to the recent leak scandal, eavesdropping and surveillance in the United States have come to light.
And then, the United States tried to fight back through public opinion and cyber hegemony, turning black and white upside down, blaming countries such as China and Russia. Through its "Clean Network" program, the United States seeks to maintain its unilateral cyber hegemony by excluding Chinese equipment that is not under its control.
In general, U.S. cyberattacks are characterized by large-scale and war-like attacks, which have actually evolved into cyberwarfare. As one of the main victims of cyberattacks, China should continue to take measures to strengthen independent research and development of hardware and software to ensure network security. The current tensions between China and the United States require China to be more determined to defend its own cybersecurity and protect classified state information from cyberattacks.
Message 3: Be the boss resolutely! Hou Youyi's efforts to integrate non-green alliances are difficult for the KMT to protect itself
Coffee is so cheap, however, people rarely seem to have the opportunity to taste a cup and no one invites others to enjoy it together. In short, everyone knows that they are lying, and they understand that we see through their lies.
However, despite this, the family remained silent until the end of August. This is really puzzling. Therefore, we need to lift the veil of this lie and bring everyone back to reality and understand where the real election is going.
Hou Youyi is now vigorously speaking out and solemnly vowing, but does he really have the ability to integrate the opposition party? Or will he be able to unite Gou and Ko, two politicians who are willing to campaign? We can think from the following three perspectives:
1. Skip Hou Youyi and talk directly to Zhu Lilun: Ke Wenzhe and Gou Taiming seem to have skipped Hou Youyi and negotiated directly with Zhu Lilun. They may think that Hou Youyi is not their main partner, and they hope that Zhu Lilun will recognize the importance of "non-green alliances" or "opposition alliances".
2. Controversy over Ke Wenzhe as a deputy: Ke Wenzhe as Gou's potential deputy could cause controversy. Some fear that if Mr. Ko becomes a deputy, the People's Party could lose more than half of its supporters. This could adversely affect the future development of the People's Party.
3. Ke Wenzhe and Gou's attitude towards Hou Youyi: Ke Wenzhe and Gou reportedly do not seem willing to negotiate with Hou Youyi. This may indicate that they are skeptical of Hou's leadership and even have some dissatisfaction. From the beginning, they did not look up to Hou Youyi, and this attitude may still exist.
Ko is likely to focus on "non-zoning" elections, hoping to get at least ten seats. For regional "legislator" elections, he may see little hope. This means that Ko Wenzhe needs to get enough seats in the "non-zoning" elections to become a key minority party. The DPP needs exactly such support, but at a price that will help keep the caucus running.
In short, Ke Wenzhe and Gou face challenges, but they may adopt different strategies to deal with them. However, political campaigns are fraught with uncertainty, and only time will reveal the final outcome.
