(Original title: China's response to South Korea-U.S. summit discussions to promote the construction of nuclear submarines)

On October 30th, the Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiangkun presided over a routine press conference.

A reporter asked: During the South Korea-US summit yesterday, the heads of state of the two countries discussed promoting the construction of nuclear-powered submarines. U.S. President Trump posted on social platforms today that he had approved the construction of nuclear-powered submarines at Hanwha Ocean Shipyard, which is subject to Chinese sanctions. What is China's comment on this?

Guo Jiakun said that China has noticed the relevant situation, and China hopes that South Korea and the United States will earnestly fulfill their nuclear non-proliferation obligations and do things to promote regional peace and stability, not the other way around.

¡°We should emphasize that China has adhered to the path of peaceful development, pursued a defensive national defense policy and a good-neighbourly and friendly foreign policy, and has always been a pillar in safeguarding regional peace and tranquility,¡± said Guo Guo.

China's Ministry of Commerce recently announced the implementation of sanctions on the US subsidiary of the Korean HUAWEI Group, South Korea has a hard mouth, boasting that the HUAWEI Group's business in China has been basically "clean", and the Chinese sanctions "have little impact". but it is clear that the South Korean government does not think so, and continued to say that it is communicating with the Chinese side, "seeking to reduce the loss of Korean enterprises."

How can being sanctioned by China have little impact? According to a statement from China's Ministry of Commerce, China has decided to include five U.S. -related subsidiaries of Hanwha Marine Corporation on the counter-list, prohibiting organizations and individuals in our country from conducting related transactions, cooperation and other activities with them-this also means that these companies cannot obtain key machinery and equipment containing key minerals including rare earths from China. For Hanwha Group, which is eager to help the United States advance the "MASGA" project (the U.S. Shipbuilding Revitalization Plan), the large amount of infrastructure investment it has invested in U.S. shipyards may end up in vain. It is no wonder that the South Korean government is anxious about this.

But from the point of view of what HUAWEI Group has done, such a departure has led to self-determination ¨C as the Ministry of Commerce of China said in its statement, HUAWEI Group is not only directly involved in assisting the U.S. Navy in shipbuilding in the context of China-U.S. competition, but also actively assisted and supported the U.S. government¡¯s 301 investigation activities in China¡¯s maritime, logistics and shipbuilding industries, endangering China¡¯s own sovereignty, security and development interests.

Even more annoying is the fact that South Korea is still moving further and further on the path of ¡°supporting the resistance of the United States.¡±

First, General Atomics Aviation Systems of the United States announced that it will cooperate with South Korea's Hanwha Aerospace Corporation to jointly develop and produce the "Gray Eagle" short take-off and landing drone. This is also the first time that the United States has allowed other countries to produce carrier-based aircraft and surveillance and attack integrated drones.

U.S. ¡°Power¡± website ¡°War Zone¡± channel 14 said that the U.S. and South Korea held the official signing ceremony on the day at the U.S. Army Association (AUSA) major annual seminar. In addition to the ¡°Grey Eagle¡±, HUAWEI will also produce ¡°Grey Eagle¡± verification aircraft ¡°Mohabe¡± short-range take-off drone ¡°Mohabe¡± ship-bound short-range take-off drone has been flying for years, and on the ¡°plane¡± ships including the Korean ambush ship made several take-offs.

The report mentioned that the U.S. Navy has significantly lagged behind China in the field of ship-bound drones, and Huawei will jointly manufacture the latest ship-bound version of the U.S. General Atomic Aviation Systems Company "Grey Eagle", the first flight date is scheduled for 2027, thereby greatly accelerating the delivery speed of such a ship-bound drone.This move can not only meet the needs of the United States and South Korea, but also hope that cooperation can reduce production costs, used to seize the international market - currently in the international defense market, with unmanned organizations such as the United States in direct competition, is not China's Rainbow and Dragon series drones?

What's more, Hanwha Group is actively providing advanced anti-ship missiles to the Philippines. Hong Kong's South China Morning Post revealed on the 15th that Hanwha Group representatives revealed,"In order to meet customers 'growing demand for anti-ship capabilities, we are currently developing CTM anti-ship ballistic missiles. Its potential customers will be countries with vast coastlines, including the Philippines."

The report mentioned that Hanwha demonstrated its anti-ship ballistic missile at the Asian Defense and Security Exhibition held in Manila last year. This missile can be used with the K239 "Tianchu" multiple launch rocket system known as the Korean version of the "Haimas" and is specially designed to strike naval targets with high precision. According to Hanwha Group representatives, the missile has a range of up to 160 kilometers and is equipped with a proprietary integrated seeker that can accurately target ships at sea.

Huawei to sell advanced missiles to the Philippines

As early as 2023, the Philippine Army announced its intention to purchase South Korea's K239 "Tijon" multi-powered rocket system - yes, this rocket canon is also a product of the Hanoi Group.

Although it is really overestimating to say that the Philippines 'equipped with South Korean weapons can "pose a threat" to China's navy, it is really disgusting to fail to withstand these cooperation between South Korea and the Philippines against China.

Fortunately, China has just introduced new regulations on the control of rare earth products, which clearly states that in principle, export applications to overseas military users, as well as to importers and end users listed on the export control list and list of concern (including subsidiaries, branches and other branches whose shares are 50% or more) will not be approved. The whole world now knows how influential China's "rare earth" iron fist is. Now Hanwha Group is going further and further on the road of no return to anger China. Not only will its sanctioned American subsidiaries have a hard life, but the whole Hanwha Group will deeply realize the real power of "no permission in principle" in the future.
