INTERESTING. THX.
Thank you for the ping. This wasn’t the thread you knew me to be interested in actually, but I am interested in this one by random luck. My 19 yo is in china for the summer, so I am reading everything that pops up about China.
Yeah.
Thx.
I realized that after I clicked post.
Where is he in China?
I hope he’s building close relationships with the locals. He may well need them in the not too distant future.
That is Yaogan Weixing 9, a Chang Zheng 4C rocket launching two satellites.
Now that it's identified, no longer a UFO.
"Real UFOs" or UFOs of potentially extraterrestrial origin do not use any visible kind of chemical propulsion as this rocket does.
Sounds like that would explain it, alright.
And the military aspect, too.
Thx thx.
He has been in rural China for the past week I am not sure exactly where. He is in Qingdao other wise.
I have had people say extremely rude things to me about my child learning and living in china. I don’t think they realize that someday might really need more people that speak chinese, let’s hope that’s always for business reasons.
>say extremely rude things to me about my child learning and living in china.
Well, I could say a few things about such “thinking”, but why bother :>>
Many do not comprehend the sheer scale of interactions going on all across the world in a myriad ways, and not to mention that those experiences can be incredible on an individual basis.
I agree about the Chinese language skills.
I’d also encourage learning the Chinese Chess game—the half game—a lot easier and less work than the full game—which is a lot like Western Chess.
IS YOUR SON GOING TO BE THERE THE REST OF THE YEAR?
It is increasingly looking like predictions for WWIII before the end of the year may well be much above 50/50 ‘chance’ wise.
I love the Chinese people extremely dearly. Some several individuals and families were willing to lay their lives and the lives of their families on the line for me. That touches one extremely deeply and unforgettably rather instantly.
However, there’s also plenty of Chinese who can be ruthlessly hostile to any NOT Chinese and particularly white Anglo Saxons.And in a WWIII situation, who knows what would transpire—it would depend on quite a number of factors, local and not so local.
Is your son a Christian?
God is our only refuge ever and certainly in chaotic situations.
Beyond that, he’d better be building up
QUANXI—RELATIONSHIP CREDITS, RELATIONSHIP STRENGTH for whatever may come down the Pike or up the Yangzee.
BIG TIME.
I’d also encourage him to befriend some very small rural area—somewhat remote but not overly difficult to get to say on bicycle plus maybe some hiking—particularly 2-4 families there . . . in very significant ways . . . one where he could retreat to if and when necessary.Water and food are going to become extremely scarce the world over. China is familiar with such problems and may do better than the USA depending on a lot of unknowns. Certainly a remote mostly Christian small village would be a great refuge compared to almost all others.
BTW, are you familiar with HUSHMAIL? You might do well to check it out—realizing that it merely slows the watchers down a lot if they really want to know.
God be with you all.
