"China: The Wisdom of Aggressive Bluffing" Topic

They are probably installed elsewhere as well … Never underestimate the CCP in its goal to control the world.

As I heard at a meeting with Vets from DC, a few years back. A USMC COL Ret. said –

"Russia wants to destroy us … China wants to own us."

Sounds about right … save for now the Russians couldn't destroy a nation the size of Ukraine. They can only destroy anything with WMDs … maybe …

The CCP has assets everywhere. Building an intel base in Cuba certainly is an aggressive move, IMO.

Building an intel base in Cuba is to be expected. It is really nothing unusual.

The CCP probably already has agents in Cuba. And has had for a long time. They usually hang out at their embassy …

But by claiming they are building an intel base 100 miles off the USA's coast still seems to me to be like they are sticking their tongue out at us.

Both the US and China have had prototype railguns, and not much has come out of them. We might see advances in the future that make them more feasible, but not in the near term.

US Officials Say China Is Planning A New Military Training Facility In Cuba

Armand

I have heard that in the media recently as well. Their intentions are clear worldwide. The intel/training site in Cuba. Owning both ends of the Panama Canal. Build airports/bases and ports in South America and Africa, etc.

They are playing a big slower game of Pac-Man gobbling up pieces of the world. While the West just watches … Actually, at this point there is little the West can do at this time. They know how to play the long game … and seems it is working. Sun Tzu would be proud.

Be aware…

Nice !!!! Go ROKs !!! I think in the future we will see more MBTs packing the 130mm. The German new Panzer, the Panther that is still being worked on, AFAIK is packing a 130 too.

China's "Aggressive Bluffing" efforts are aided by their deep tendrils into the leadership of their top foe…

Missing' Biden corruption case witness Dr. Gal Luft details allegations against president's family

The "missing witness" from the Biden corruption investigation, Israeli professor Dr. Gal Luft, has laid out his bribery allegations against the president's family in an extraordinary video filmed in an undisclosed location while he's on the run.

In the 14-minute recording, obtained exclusively by The Post, the fugitive former Israeli army officer claims he was arrested in Cyprus to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the Biden family received payments from individuals with alleged ties to Chinese military intelligence and that they had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China-controlled energy company CEFC.

The self-proclaimed fall guy says he provided the incriminating evidence to six officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice in a secret meeting in Brussels in March 2019 — but alleges that it was covered up….

…Luft's account of the former VP's presence at that meeting was corroborated 21 months later when the FBI interviewed another attendee, Biden family associate Rob Walker, according to recent testimony before Congress.

Luft disclosed during the Brussels interview that CEFC was paying $100,000 USD a month to Hunter and $65,000 USD to his uncle Jim Biden, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China's Belt and Road Initiative around the world — and that the money was being funneled through Walker.

The Oversight Committee has written to Walker demanding he submit to questioning about his role in distributing more than $1 USD million from China to at least three of President Biden's relatives.

China's Advances in Space Warfare Are Terrifying

LOL

The PRC/CCP would clone Primate-Human hybrids if they could. Rumor were that the Russians had tried. Wouldn't put it past either of them. They both will do anything to gain an advantage over the US and NATO.

We all know in land warfare taking the high ground is SOP often. So now however, controlling the space around the Earth, the high ground is also very important. So I'm sure the PRC/CCP will try to take the orbital high ground. As if war does breakout destroying the enemies' orbital assets will probably be one of the first moves. For obvious reasons …

Hmmm … so much for the USA's industrial might … ?

The PRC/CCP is building warships, MBTS, IFVs, FA, etc. on a war footing.

The USA is running low on ammo, [and a high-ranking Gov't honcho from the top even said so in an interview in the media ?!?!?!?!?!] and building EVs plus charging stations. Again, the US leadership does a very poor job of prioritizing, IMO …

@Tango01 re: "Are China's Intentions Really Such a Mystery?"

Good article link. It's entirely predictable -- Chinese arms use by Russian soldiers. And if it's not already in progress, I'd be surprised -- Chinese $$ funding a huge capacity expansion of Russian PacRim/"Far East" oil production and pipelines. More stuff we'll have to blow up during the Sino-American War…

Thanks… and by the way…

Just in case you weren't clear on what China's South Pacific strategy looks like – the goal is to isolate Australia from US and other support. This should look familiar if you know your WW2 history.

Those in charge at the top don't study or understand history. Or just ignore it as it doesn't fit their concept of history, agenda, narrative, ideology, etc. And we are worse off for it or will be …

Chinese Spies Are Everywhere

I'm shocked ! Shocked I tell you !!

China is now manufacturing a containerized cruise missile and SRBM launcher that looks just like a commercial container. They could place the "poison pills" in any port in the world.

link

The spies are a huge part of the everyday workload at the FBI.

Some of these missiles in containers photos don't look quite right to me, containers in front of weapons. And that power supply system looks vulnerable. but I am sure there are many tricky weapon systems in development in China.

We have our own spies, as do the British and others. We are in an arms race with them, every possibility needs to be verified and counter measures developed.

Yes everybody has spies everywhere. The CCP just may have more as they are 20% of the world's population. And they want to push the USA out of the #1 position. So they have a mission, a goal.

That photo may just be a bit of CCP propaganda, disinformation, etc. However, I'm sure they, the Russians, etc. could very easily fill a Connex container(s) with WMDs, etc. … and well we know the rest.

That's actually a Russian design that's been tested, now under license for production in China.

Of course … they are BFFs after all …
