What does the National Security Agency know about China's effort to conceal the crisis of its original coronavirus outbreak?
I'd suggest quite a bit.
The first point to note here is that China is now the NSA's primary intelligence target. Driving Pacific region operations out of its Hawaii cryptological center, the NSA focuses on collecting the form and content of Chinese government communications. That priority targeting effort befits Xi Jinping's campaign to displace the U.S.-led international order and China's increasingly hostile stance to U.S. military operations in the Indo-Pacific.
But the first clue that the NSA has figured out quite a bit about the Chinese government's actual response to the coronavirus, aside from the regime's lies, comes from top Trump administration officials.
These officials are the NSA's top consumers and are entitled to the most highly classified intelligence community reports. We already know that Chinese officials blew their December 2019 window to control the virus by refusing to allow access to Western medical officials, failing to instigate an effective quarantine, and deflecting responsibility during that period. But it wasn't until late January that President Trump started regularly talking about the outbreak in relatively concerned terms. That shift suggests the issue had, by January, become a significant element of Trump's daily intelligence report. It is likely that Trump was then warned that the risk of a global pandemic was growing.
So, how did the alarm get raised?
Well, NSA has ways of collecting and analyzing communications weeks or months after they were first sent. That capability includes scenarios in which what was said was originally ignored by the NSA. This would explain why Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weren't more alarmed in early January.
It would also fit with how intelligence operations work that the January alarm was raised

I’ve been saying that there had to be people watching the crematoriums ramp up. I could imagine a guy looking at a monitor, watching satellite images of the trucks lined up stacking bodies. You can’t really hide that from space.

“was originally ignored by the NSA. This would explain why Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weren’t more alarmed in early January.”

It would be great of the NSA supported America and not the Deep State.

I think this by some Indian guys. There’s no love lost between India and China.
Just say no to Chinese Huawei 5G, belt and road extortion.
Now that they have blamed us for the Wuhan virus, lets bring our supply chain home.

Admiral Rogers, head of the NSA when President Trump was elected, was the intelligence agency head which was *not* part of the deep state soft coup attempt.
“was originally ignored by the NSA. This would explain why Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo weren’t more alarmed in early January.”
Deep State NSA just doing their part to screw Trump. After Admiral Rogers retired, it must have gone down hill quickly.
This came out in January after several other incidents. The Chinese are finally being seriously targeted by our gov’t & the Canadians.

Agreed but how many mid-level managers and employees are Deep State? We just don’t know.
If the can't do it real-time, or even close to real-time, what the heck good are they?
Yep, sounds like NSA backpeddling to cover up yet ANOTHER failure.
They're here to spy on Americans. The "national security" aspect is a scam.
Marked for later, thanks.

The comment is baseless
This is clearly, or as clearly as I wish to express it openly, referring to comma captured in a general sense that were correlated to this situation more recently.

unless I missed something, somewhat of a disappointing article. All that to say is was suspicious that provincial officials were replaced the other month. That’s all he had to write the article about?
This is good speculation. I like it.
But the author should have been more clear in the headline or in the first paragraph that it’s only speculation with no evidence, not even circumstantial.
