🇨🇳 China Discloses Powerful Deep-Sea Cable Cutter, SCMP Reports

China revealed for the first time that it has developed a compact deep-sea cable cutting device that is powerful enough to severe communication lines, the South China Morning Post reported.

The tool is able to operate at a depth of up to 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) and has been designed for use with the country’s advanced manned or unmanned submersible vehicles, the report said, citing a peer-reviewed paper published in the Chinese-language journal Mechanical Engineer on Feb. 24.

Developed by the China Ship Scientific Research Center and State Key Laboratory of Deep-Sea Manned Vehicles, the cutter revealed by China targets so-called “armored cables,” lines with steel, rubber and polymer sheaths that make up the overwhelming majority of global data transmissions, the SCMP added.

🌏🚤 Notable developments in the Indo-Pacific last week:

- China conducted back-to-back joint combat patrols 24nm from Taiwan on the same day for the first time
- 59 PLA aircraft detected around Taiwan + 43 entered its ADIZ on Monday, largest single-day surge of 2025 + highest in 5 months
- Recent PLA military drills in the Taiwan Strait, Western Pacific, South China Sea, East China Sea, + Yellow/Bohai Sea
- New Shuiqiao landing barges carrying out docking trials with civil-military RO-RO ferries
- Elevated PLA drone activity, including WZ-10 + GJ-2

Taiwan recently wrapped up a week of “Rapid Response Exercises,” practicing tactical maneuvers, key asset protection, concealment, and cover operations to enhance readiness and response capabilities. MND said: “ROC Armed Forces closely monitor maritime and aerial activities, conducting joint operations to track and respond to PLA incursions.”

China’s foreign ministry stated: “China’s relevant military operation is necessary, lawful and legitimate in order to defend national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. It’s a firm response to external forces who are hellbent on abetting and aiding ‘Taiwan independence,’ and a warning to ‘Taiwan independence’ separatist forces’ unconscionable acts... Those who attempt to use Taiwan to contain China will get burned for playing with fire.”

🇺🇸🇬🇱 U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Greenland:

Denmark, which controls Greenland, is not doing its job, it’s not being a good ally.

If that means that we need to take more territorial interests in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do.

Because he doesn’t care about what the European scream at us.

🇵🇱💣‼️🇧🇾 — 📰 Remix News | Poland to lay up to 1 million anti-personnel mines on its eastern border, says deputy defense minister | Poland will reportedly deploy up to one million anti-personnel mines along its eastern border as part of its East Shield defense initiative after withdrawing from the Ottawa Convention | March 19, 2025:

"Poland is preparing to lay up to one million anti-personnel mines along its eastern border as part of its newly announced East Shield defense initiative, according to Paweł Bejda, secretary of state at the Ministry of National Defense.

The decision comes as Poland, alongside Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, withdraws from the Ottawa Convention, which bans the use, production, and transfer of such mines.

“We have no choice. The situation at the border is very serious. Mines will be one of the elements of the East Shield,” Bejda stated in an interview with RMF FM, highlighting Poland’s increasing focus on fortifying its defenses against potential threats from Russia and Belarus."

👔📝🇫🇷💣 — 📰 ZeroHedge | Macron Unveils Major Nuclear Expansion By 2035 | March 22, 2025:

"France has talked a big, hawkish anti-Russia game of late, but this week President Macron has actually backed up the rhetoric with action, but which brings Europe another step closer to nuclear escalation with Moscow.

France unveiled earlier this week plans to establish a new nuclear-capable air base, which will be its fourth, also to be home to two squadrons of the latest version of its domestic-made Dassault Rafale multirole fighter.

France plans to invest around 1.5 billion euros ($1.6 billion) to establish the new nuke-capable installation. A moment, the three air bases equipped with secure weapons storage for nuclear missiles are: Saint-Dizier, Istres, and Avord."

🇫🇷⚡️💣🕊 — 📰 Politico | France to reopen fourth nuclear air base as Europe rushes to rearm | Emmanuel Macron announces site near Germany will be modernized to host nukes amid fears Donald Trump will desert the continent | March 18, 2025:

"France will modernize one of the country's main air bases so it can host nuclear weapons, French President Emmanuel Macron announced Tuesday.

"The Luxeuil air base is about to be upgraded in an unprecedented way and regain its full role in France's nuclear deterrent," he said, speaking from the area, adding it will need a "massive investment" to house two squadrons of Rafale jets able to carry nuclear weapons.

(...)

Announcing the storage of modern nuclear missiles on an air base less than 200 kilometers from the German border is strategic signalling. It also comes after Germany's chancellor-in-waiting Friedrich Merz said he wanted to hold talks about France's nuclear deterrent as fears grow of a U.S. retreat from the continent."
