Premier's Clarification Regarding Sinsic Foreign Agenda

Huángwēi -- Premier Deng Liuxian answered questions from the press as he hosted the last briefing in Huángwēi before returning to the capital city, after spending an entire day visiting newly established headquarters belonging to prominent corporations spanning the entire Mundus. The finishing statement below clearly reflects the Sinsic open commitment to free trade with whoever the Republic chooses, without immediate prejudices and following a globalistic agenda that is sought to do more harm than good, whilst affirming the Republic's pledge to aid other countries in need of foreign aid.

Lastly, I would like to once more point out that Sinsu itself dependant on the international foreign markets in order to continuously prosper as it was once so in the past, during the Economic Miracle years. This means that I've spoken personally with our dear President Teng, who couldn't agree entirely more that in her capacity as Head of State, she'll commit performing state visits to all countries that wishes to have an open, free trade with ours, with no ill reservation towards those upholding a different societal culture alltogether. Sinsu is also willing to host these state visits if necessary and desire from us and the other part in question. Sanctions here, sanctions there and harsh words in-between serve no purpose other than to disrupt prosperity and wealth that citizens of this world rightly deserves. Globalism through economic freedom as well as deeper cultural understanding will accomplish change and progress, not the opposite.

Condolences, thoughts and prayers towards the Kingdom of Tytor is also issued on behalf of the Sinsic people, in regards to the utterly terrible Hurricane Eileen that has recently ravaged this beautiful country that Sinsu has close and deep historical and cultural ties with. It's thus with great happiness that the Legislative Yuan voted to send aid in order to alleviate as much suffering as possible for the Tytorian people. Cargo ships and military-graded transport planes have been already dispated to Tytor as we speak and we hope that this gesture is well-received.

Sinsu has also recently signed treaties as well as joining and applying for membership in several organisations as part of connecting with the rest of the world, whilst promoting and teaching others about our own society and culture, including SANE that shall soon be ratified first by its founding members as well as the CSU. However one of these particular organisations happens to be the Network of Republics, which sadly is nothing but a Communist Puppet Organisation, effectively creating an exclusive club for so-called 'republics' that aren't functioning at all according to Republican principles. With the full knowledge of our likeminded republics that also share the sentiment, Sinsu will commit itself to truly reform and transform the NoR into a fully democratic organisation for Democratic Republics. One of the articles that we would like to abolish is nr. 5, which states in the beginning that "The Network of Republics shall share information on criminal activity and organisations branded terrorists by any member, that may effect other nations.", something which must be based on individual agreements between countries and not something that is enforced to be taken advantage of by a country with a malicious agenda.

SICR WAR threat: Sinsu forced to fire at 'PROJECTILES' sent across the border

SINSU-SICR BORDER -- Sinsic defence systems opened fired at incoming projectiles (e.g artillery, mortar, missiles and rockets) aimed towards settlements located near the border with SICR, prompting overwhelming outrage across the Federal Republic as the Imperial Regime once more advocates for war and forced annexation of Sinsu or what's more commonly known there as the degrading 'Southern Territory'. With most of the projectiles shot down and destroyed, the rest causing no to minimal damage around these designated settlements, a spokesman for Sinsu’s joint chiefs of staff said: “The military is on high alert and air surveillance has been strengthened.”

The projectiles were fired at about 4pm local time at Sinsu’s Sinkiang province, which is currently the Federal Republic's largest natural-gas-producing region and where a large amount of the country's culturally unique Muslim Uyghur minority is found, adding fuel to the rumors among the public that the motive behind these attacks were a combination of disrupting natural gas operations as well as purposefully targeting Muslims through an 'Anti-Islam' campaign. With a response to be yet heard from President Teng Jia herself, Premier Deng Liuxian took the opportunity to offer his own, whereby the track record of his own stance towards SICR has been mixed throughout the years in public office, from advocating peace and cooperation to outright war and launching a 'Liberation Campaign to get rid of the Imperial Regime'.

These recent attacks performed by the Imperial Regime shows all of us once more, that the high-ranking leadership is composed of nothing but dishonorable and bigoted cowards who show no concern for loss of life and damage on property, whether this includes our own or even their own citizens. The fact that the Emperor, who happens to lead a pitiful and morally defunct country which calls itself a 'Republic' whilst showing none of the characteristics, can't even control his own troops from freely launching projectiles whenever it pleases their sick and twisted minds, is an indication that war for them is the only solution to this so-called 'issue' they perceive to exist, when it clearly shouldn't and never has to begin with.

Sinsu has always been the advocator for peace and cooperation with our northernly neighbour, though these attempts have always been shut down and rejected by them, which isn't surprising at all considering the Imperial Regime considers our existence and political system as a threat that ought to be liquidated and exterminated, as if Federalism, Parliamentarism and Republicanism are degenerative diseases with no nominal value whatsoever. Even if these attacks have always been of a regular occurance throughout the past decades, ever since the first years of Sinsu's rightful transition to a true meritocratic and democratic system, which triggered the Imperial Regime to take advantage of our weak position and subsequently attempt to reintegrate in their fold, it's always a sign that war may be imminent upon us and we have no choice other than to prepare ourselves for it.

The simple truth to the matter at hand, is that SICR frankly are retarded when it comes to waging war. Our large and technologically advanced Armed Forces are clearly superior when it comes to training and will-power to defend the Federal Republic til' the last breath, not including every dutiful citizen who owns at least a firearm hanging above their fireplace. The Imperial Regime knows this far more than they'd like to admit to, the massively failed reunification war which took place a few years after our Republican transition proves this. Since they're mere cowards not wishing to send their citizens to the slaugherhouse, whom I affectionately show concern and pity towards them for having terrible leaders to begin with, they decide to cowardly fire these pathetic projectiles at the same locations as they've always been, making it entirely too predictable for us to effectively obliterate these outdated rounds that have been made in someone's backyard using cheap scrap metal fastened to slabs of improvised explosives.

If they want to have war with us instead of peace and cooperation that could really be of advantage to our countries and their peoples, then so be it! Let them send their hordes of unwilling, inadequately armed forced recruites and we shall meet them with steel and valour of arms never seen before in this world, where our patriotism will spread the meritocratic and democratic concepts that have made Sinsu into one of the wealthiest and most prosperous countries.

Mark my words: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!

World’s Largest Airport Terminal Opens in Liánjīng

Liánjīng -- The world’s biggest single-building airport terminal has opened in Liánjīng. Daxing International airport, which viewed from above looks like a dramatic, sprawling starfish, is set to welcome 72 million travellers a year by 2025. Work on the building began less than five years ago. The $62bn project opened to much fanfare on 25 September, with an inauguration ceremony attended by President Teng Jia. The 700,000sqm airport, designed by famed Tamoran architect Naadiya el-Saade, is the Sinsic capital’s second mega-airport, following in the footsteps of Liánjīng Capital International Airport.

It means Liánjīng has joined the elite band of cities in Mundus which have two long-haul international airports. The unusual terminal building has five connected concourses serving four runways. Plans are already afoot to expand this to eight runways, with capacity for 100 million passengers annually, by 2040. Despite the expansive design, the journey from security to the furthest gate is just 600m. The building features a central atrium supported by eight C-shaped columns, each of which has a 106m wide skylight at the top.

Planned State Visits to Tytor and Vaguzia: "The Greatest Friends and Allies"

Tytor held authority in Guīwān (1786-1997) and Huángwēi (1842-1997) respectively, whilst Vaguzia managed to cling onto Qín Huì (1557-1999) for considerable lengths of time before their eventual return.

Liánjīng -- With the National Day of the Republic of Sinsu soon to be eagerly celebrated on October 1st alongside festivities including fireworks and concerts, this year's celebration also signifies the 70th anniversary since the Republic's founding in 1949. President Teng Jia has thus recently announced some time ago, through a press conference, her intention to perform state visits of utmost importance to two special countries that have been integral to Sinsu's internal development, namely the Kingdoms of Tytor and Vaguzia respectively:

"It is my intention that during the last months of celebrating our Republic's 70th anniversary since its founding in 1949, that I personally undertake state visits to the Kingdoms of Tytor and Vaguzia, two realms that are viewed with great admiration and respect by the Sinsic people and rightly called as the greatest friends and allies one could've ever hoped and asked for. What began as a relationship viewed with great suspision and distrust, has now blossomed into something beautiful that can't be described in mere words, where matters of economic, security and cultural importance have been thoroughly shared and developed. This has in turn contributed to the continued success and even survival of our great republic ever since the people of Sinsu fought hard and died for independence rom their former SICR master in order to form their own path and future. The Republic of Sinsu is now willing to once more cooperate with the Kingdoms in various Projects that will only be of fruitful benefit for the peoples in the decades to come."

As already hinted by President Teng, the relations with these two countries haven't always been described as perfect, as the cities of Guīwān, Huángwēi and Qín Huì were once under their authority, which was a result of a former colonial past where Tytor took advantage of the weak internal governance of the SICR monarchy during the 1800s, with Vaguzia becoming the first of non-Ardian powers to already be granted territory in the 1500s. When the newly formed ROS government was formed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, one of the most difficult issues to undertake was the question of these countries' colonial holdings and the stances one were to hold against them; thus, the current relations today can be seen as a unique pragmatic viewpoint, where the Sinsic government decided to uphold the treaties and in exchange receive aid and advice in various areas of internal development. Even today a large consensus amongst academics and the ordinary populace is that "Tytor and Vaguzia acted as reliable adoptive parents to children whose mother hadn't always fared well, and once the latter became so was given back the children who greatly loved both the original and adoptive parents", and as a result both Guīwān and Huángwēi are among the most successful financial cities in Sinsu whilst Qín Huì drew its wealth from resorts and a thriving gambling industry.

One of the notable aspects of the relationship was the Vaguziase Civil War (1982-1985), in which Sinsu participated and supported the legitimately democratic government against the communist revolutionaries, sending its finest special forces in the process. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also extended a warm and hospitable welcome to the Tytor submarine HTMS Archer, as part of a global goodwill tour in order to pay respect to all historical Tytorian allies, with the expected stops in Sinsu to take place in former colonies and now Sinsic cities of Guīwān and Huángwēi.

Legislative Yuan Ratifies OPEN Associate Membership

The Legislative Yuan (Parliament) Building, also known as the 'Great Hall of the People', located in the capital city of Liánjīng. It's currently one of the largest unicameral parliaments in the world, its seat currently numbering 709.

The Legislative Yuan recently ratified a treaty with a notable majority of MPs, enabling the Republic to become an associate member of the Oil (and Gas) Producing Exporting Nations organisation (OPEN), whose stated mission is "to ensure the continued reliable supply of gas and oil to all nations of Mundus." Premier Deng Liuxian commented during a press conference that took place right after the parliamentary session:

"This isn't just a great day for Sinsu, but also to every other country whose exports consists largely of Petroleum and Natural Gas, and of course the OPEN members themselves. Even if a full membership would've been ideal but not being the case as of recent due to ongoing issues with SICR, I and for sure many others are striving to resolve these issues once and for all with out northernly neighbour in order to ensure a steady economic prognosis for the Petroleum and Natural Gas industries, and achieve full membership in the future. OPEN will also act as an integral stepping stone in accessing the Midaranye markets, where cooperation with southern Ardia will be of tremendous benefits for all peoples."

President Teng Jia is currently meeting with Pharaoh Beketaten-Hesy-Re of the Kingdom of Clysperis, one of the fundamental members of OPEN and one of its ardent supporters for Sinsic membership. It is also expected that similar state visits will take place in Tamora, Royal Seleucid and other countries located in the Midaranye region.
