In August 2024, scholars at a Xiamen-based think tank published a paper urging Beijing to immediately establish a shadow Taiwan government on the Chinese mainland in preparation for a full takeover of the island. “It is imperative to prepare a plan for the comprehensive takeover of Taiwan after unification,” they said.

Freienbach, Switzerland, June 25, 2026 – Following its presentation at Eurosatory 2026, Global Clearance Solutions (GCS) is introducing its modular minefield-breaching solution.

Designed for military combat engineering operations, the system supports the creation and marking of designated passageways through mined terrain. This enables the controlled movement of vehicles and personnel in high-risk environments. Minefield breaching is a core requirement for operational mobility. It requires the reliable coordination of several steps: mechanical clearance, defining the passageway, and continuous advancement under cover. GCS addresses this requirement by integrating…
