China Concerns

China is testing two hypersonic surface-to-surface missiles and not one as previously reported, state media claimed. If true, the development of a second munition capable of traveling at least five times the speed of sound while maneuvering could weigh on the balance of power in the Pacific region.  ---CONTINUED---  

A report in PLA Daily says the brigade is located 5,200m above sea level in the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, but does not specify the type or firing range of the weapon.

Weird the news has failed to report such outrageous war mongering statements of their commie overlords.

I saw on tv, that retired top generals saying that corn pop is already to late to respond to China's threats on Taiwan.

Maybe he's not asleep.... Maybe it's by design?

They are gradually desensitizing and wearing down Taiwan.
Taiwan doesn't even scramble fighters anymore to shadow china in their air defense identification zone.
One day china will just show up with 150 jets in a first strike and by the time Taiwan realizes "this is it" they'll have about 60 seconds to react just due to the distance and proximity. The majority of their air force and anti aircraft missile batteries will be destroyed in the first 5 minutes of battle and at that point the result will be inevitable.

While I think everyone here has Biden figured out, I think y'all underestimate Taiwan. They can scramble quickly enough.

Just my .02cents
I could be wrong but I think Taiwan will be toast. 50% of their airpower will never make it off the ground. Their defenses will be overwhelmed by mass ballistic missile volleys and airstrikes in the first 36-48 hours.

Taiwan is tiny compared to China its like a David & Goliath thing.... Makes me wonder if China will keep taking cheap shots at Taiwan until they accidently kill one of the US military advisers then we are in the soup whether we want to or not.....

China probably won't launch an attack using a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile on the United States, but if it did, that strike would happen without any warning because of the nature of the technology, China expert Gordon Chang warned on Newsmax Monday.

Either they are lying or they are stupid or both.

Here is my thought pattern:
1. They didn't see this coming, because they were too busy spying on their own people, in other words, spying on us.

2. No, wait! If they were spying on us, they would have known, because we would have told them.

3. Dang, they even screwed up spying on us!

This isn't good

I believe we only have 3 seawolf attack subs. 1 was involved and damaged in a mysterious incident in the south china sea. Now the other 2 appear to be up to something.

DTKA: Very interesting read and very scary.  

I like his comments that are in bold red print.

If something would happen, our supply chain from that area would be DOA.

If ya got a few X-tra $$$, and you got some X-tra room, I'd be stocking up on a lot of caned goods, just for good luck.

Like he said in his last sentence, "Stay frosty, folks. There appears to be serious storm clouds on the global horizon."

I wonder what kind of cargo they plan on putting in it?

The “winged rocket” will be able to fly at a breathtaking 7,000 miles per hour and scientists hope it will be ready for take-off by 2024, The Sun reported.

Testing is reportedly scheduled to begin next year.

Space.com reports that the futuristic plane is being developed by Space Transportation, and the company aims to conduct a full point-to-point flight by the end of the decade.

He said it was a build up that has been going on for about 20 years.

Not something they have done on a whim.

During the events of Freedom Convoy, it was common to hear protesters say that they were standing up for the rights of free speech or free expression. And Canada does indeed pride itself as a land of free speech … to a point. Unlike the Americans, there are a number of ways that you can go to jail in Canada simply because of something you said.

Drinkthekoolaid wrote:It looks like china is establishing a base on Cuba now.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Cuba has made a secret pact to allow China to establish an electronic eavesdropping facility focused on collecting signals intelligence from the United States on the island. That would mean Chinese intelligence could monitor emails, phone calls, satellite transmissions, and shipping traffic along the southeastern United States from a location roughly 100 miles off Florida’s coastline, potentially enabling Beijing to obtain intelligence from top U.S. military bases...
...
The base’s exact location and when it may be built are still unknown, but sources familiar told the Journal that China paid Cuba several billion dollars to construct the planned facility. The U.S. Defense Department and Cuban Vice Foreign Minister Carlos Fernández de Cossio both denied the report’s accuracy, with Fernández de Cossio calling the report “totally mendacious and unfounded information.” Beijing did not directly address the allegations, saying it was “not aware” of the situation and then accusing the United States of “spreading rumors.” Several other media outlets, including CNN, have since corroborated the Journal’s initial reporting. The top Democrat and Republican on the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee issued a joint statement on Thursday, saying they are “deeply disturbed” by the reports and calling on the Biden administration “to take steps to prevent this serious threat to our national security and sovereignty.”

The FDA’s emergency import of medicine from China shows just how reliant America has become on Chinese manufacturers of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for a range of products from cancer therapeutics and antibiotics, to the ingredients in the Adderall used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

The FDA official’s reluctance to share details of the emergency imports highlights how hard it has been for the U.S. to manufacture critical drugs at home at a time when lawmakers in Washington are concerned about China weaponizing its pharmaceutical manufacturing advantage by cutting off supplies.

“We’ve seen young moms frantically calling from pharmacy to pharmacy this past winter, even now, to get basic antibiotics for their child,” Charles Tabouchirani, a pharmacist in New York City told The China Project.

The current shortages are among the worst Tabouchirani has seen since opening Cherry’s Pharmacy on Manhattan’s Upper East Side in 2004.
