As far as i knew, China need B-2 more than Tu-160 ... a stealth bomber is the future key for our nuclear-attack platform.
We just need one super nuclear bomb which can destroy Earth.

the tu-160 is the largest combat aircraft in service today and its also one of the fastest too. a b1 is similar, but smaller and slower. but a bomber similar to that of the b2 would be the best option. but not a vital option. china needs a long range bombers and thats it stealth is just a bonus. smaller stealth airframes can move in first and neutralize any threats, such as sam's and adversarial jets then the bombers move in along with non stealth jets e.g. j11/j10 and get to work and do their own thing if you know what i mean.

No faster than what China under development ... B-2 stealth bomber is slower than Tu-160, but it can do some dirty work and silence attack before the real war begin ... it's a undetected Nuclear Deterrent platform for China, we don't need war but China need Nuclear Deterrent to others, B-2 is good for the job.the tu-160 is the largest combat aircraft in service today and its also one of the fastest too. a b1 is similar, but smaller and slower. but a bomber similar to that of the b2 would be the best option. but not a vital option. china needs a long range bombers and thats it stealth is just a bonus. smaller stealth airframes can move in first and neutralize any threats, such as sam's and adversarial jets then the bombers move in along with non stealth jets e.g. j11/j10 and get to work and do their own thing if you know what i mean.

already read the news on the hgv. nice. deterrent is whats its all about. who says there building weapons to actually use? but we all know that weapons are build for a purpose and thats offense not defense. deterrence just comes with the package.
HOHHOT, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- A chartered train carrying Chinese 160 tonnes of fruit and vegetables to Moscow has passed through China's largest land checkpoint with Russia, in a logistics breakthrough that could greatly boost trade.
After being cleared by customs in Manzhouli of north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, the refrigerated train is expected to arrive in Moscow at the beginning of December following a trip lasting 12 to 14 days.
If the cargo sells well in the Russian capital, the checkpoint will provide swift clearance for repeats of the service, said Rong Zibin, chief inspection and quarantine official of Manzhouli, on Friday.
Local supply of fruit and vegetables in Moscow is inadequate in its long winter, creating an export opportunity for Chinese farmers.
The 160 tonnes of produce was gathered from the Chinese agricultural heartlands of Zhejiang, Fujian and Shandong provinces.
Manzhouli handles 60 percent of China's land freight to Russia. China exports 400,000 tonnes of fruit and vegetables to Russia through there annually.
It has mainly been carried by lorries destined for Russia's Novosibirsk, a freight hub more than 3,000 km from Moscow. Cargo train trips from Manzhouli to Novosibirsk take 90 hours.
Rong said Chinese logistics firms are keen to invest in more refrigerated train services if there is steady demand in Moscow. Enditem

“The proposal to create a joint news agency has been made at the Russian-Chinese forum that is currently taking place in Beijing. Also, there is an initiative to set up an expert panel that would host a permanent dialogue for Pacific Region countries,” the head of the State Duma Committee for Mass Media, Yuri Shuvalov, said in comments to Izvestia daily.
Shuvalov added that both projects were likely to be implemented in 2016, which has been declared as the year of the Russian and Chinese mass media.

The official noted that, in his view, the Russian and Chinese mass media were in the “quality growth phase” and new joint projects would contribute to mutual trust, adequate appraisal of events across the world and precise understanding of positions that the two nations hold on various issues.
“This concerns the whole range of international politics, economic development of the Eurasian continent and the junction between the Eurasian Economic Union and the ‘Silk Road’ economic region, because these two projects had been developed in two different countries, but together they work in synergy.” Shuvalov told reporters.
The Eurasian Economic Union was started in 2015 as the Customs Union of Russia, Kazakhstan and Belarus. Soon the bloc was joined by Armenia and later by Kyrgyzstan. Many other countries have expressed interest in setting up a free trade zone with the EEU. Vietnam has already signed the agreement, while India may follow suit. Thailand is expected to launch a free trade zone with the EEU in 2016. In July, Syrian Prime Minister Wael Halqi said that Damascus wants to join the Eurasian Union and set up a customs-free zone to boost economic relations with friendly states.
The new Silk Road is China’s project with the goal of establishing an economic corridor with Russia and Mongolia.

Very tactical move. This also falls nicely wit the efforts to integrate European development investment fund with the Silk Road project.
Eurasian Union is a viable alternative to the Atlantic alliance.

Yes, cooperation on the media-information dissemination is a key to put through the agenda and set up the discourse to our favor.
And repetition through multiple channels.
