🇵🇰🇨🇳80% of Pakistan’s imported weapons are Chinese. Now so are its army chats

The Pakistan Army has directed its officers and soldiers to stop using Meta-owned WhatsApp for official communication and shift to China's WeChat, citing security concerns over surveillance, data leaks, and hacking of official conversations.

Pakistan is making a complete digital ecosystem transfer from Western technologies, not only because of the security, surveillance and distrust issues in the WhatsApp; but also a handover of military communications, cybersecurity and intelligence security details to the Chinese giant.

Pakistan is already extremely dependent on China:👇

▪️ 80% of its weapons from China, with arms imports rising 66% between 2021-25

 ▪️ JF-17 Thunder fighter jet, jointly produced by Pakistan and China, with Pakistan currently manufacturing the airframe (58% of production) and China supplying avionics (42%)

▪️It also operates approximately 20 of the 36 J-10CE fighter jets ordered from China in 2020, with deliveries of the remaining 16 units temporarily halted.

▪️Bilateral trade reached approximately $2.84 billion in Pakistan's exports to China in 2025

▪️Pakistan's imports from China in sectors like electrical machinery, machinery, vehicles, and organic chemicals exceeded $11 billion 

👉 Standardising military communications on WeChat can significantly accelerate the pace of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and broader Belt and Road Initiative projects, as the unified, secure platform enables seamless, real-time coordination for joint security, logistics, and infrastructure operations along the route.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian opens up on what the US/Israel was trying to do and why it failed:

We were supposed to face power, water, and gas outages and such in winter.

The discussion was that in winter we would have neither electricity nor heating.

But with cooperation, companionship, and management, it didn’t happen.

And again, it was the people who helped us a lot in their electricity and gas consumption.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian:

Our relationship with our neighbors is much better than in the past, and neighboring countries are cooperating very well with us.

In fact, one of the plans in this war was to incite unrest and tensions from the northwest and southeast. They claimed that people would enter from those sides to cause disturbances.

The regional countries themselves did not allow anyone to enter easily from those directions and cause unrest. This is a very significant point; our neighbors did not permit people to come across and create disturbances and instability.

Not only did they refrain from doing so, but they also assisted us.

Now that the US has almost semi official lost the Ramadan war Israel started, Turkish President Erdogan will make a one-day visit to Saudi Arabia tomorrow to meet MbS and Pakistan’s PM Sharif, who’s already there on a three-day trip.

The three countries have been deepening security and diplomatic coordination.

Ive been pointing this out for several months now, Israels midterm ambition is to control energy into Europe with the only energy hub passing through Israel.

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷🇸🇦— Israel's Minister of Energy Eli Cohen:
" We're working to ensure that within three or four years, the Iranian threat to the Strait of Hormuz and the Houthis' threat in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait will no longer be relevant.

If you look at the map, it's possible to build a land corridor from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait to the Mediterranean and on to Europe, and we're working to ensure that this route passes through Israel.

This week I also spoke with my counterpart, Greece's Energy Minister, to use all the tools at our disposal, together with the United States, to ensure the corridor runs through Israel.

Türkiye wants the route to pass through its territory, and perhaps Egypt does as well, but the best and safest place is the State of Israel."

Note: Neither greece or Egypt will ultimately be able to profit without Israels approval.

New Mossad chief Roman Gofman has reassigned two senior officials who helped develop an unsuccessful plan to topple Iran's regime.

The plan envisioned backing Kurdish forces to spark a nationwide uprising, but it was ultimately abandoned after U.S. officials deemed regime change unrealistic and other political obstacles emerged.
