NEW intelligence from a US Space Force official confirms that China's hypersonic weapon system can stay in orbit for "an extended period of time."

US intelligence and military officials have been keeping a close eye on the technology, which reportedly had its first test launch in August.

In a forum event streamed online, information about the weapon was explained by Lieutenant General B. Chance Saltzman, Deputy Chief of Space Operations for Operations, Cyber, and Nuclear, United States Space Force.

Saltzman clarified that China's mysterious new weapon reportedly uses fractional orbit technology, rather than a traditional suborbital method.

That would allow the device to spend a significant time in orbit, Saltzman indicated.

There's also speculation surrounding the "hypersonic glide vehicle" tested by China earlier in 2021.

A hypersonic missile travels five times faster than the speed of sound and can reach distances of up to 1,500 miles, with Russia using the technology to build cutting-edge missiles in recent years.

I’m not worried.
The Chinese targets are all DNC run cities.

The very people that support the Chinese are the ones that will be removed from the planet.
It’s a win-win!

Big yawn. We were playing around with hypersonic rockets back when China’s main exports were cheap knock offs of the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State building.

US Space Force releases highly classified assessment documents into the public domain, helping the Chinese keep track of what we know, when we knew it, and how big a problem it is for the US to counter.

There are fair number of well constructed bridges for sale, if any one is interested, I’ll broker the transactions for a very low fee.

Every ChiCom advance is based on stolen U.S. technology. Their platforms look exactly like our equipment .
PRC is an organization of utterly shameless,blatant and bold thieves .
Why we continue to allow them to attend our universities and then go on to enter employment in our tech/defense firms is INSANE...
Thousands of sneaky Chinese ,who gained entry here over the years , now continue to move about the US posing as tourists.
Do they allow our tourists t hff e same access all across China? Of course not.

I don’t trust PRC Chinese farther than I can spit...

Feels like our government has been hijacked. Even during the Bush era, I knew there were issues but at the end, I felt that they were patriotic and they worked in the interests of USA. But I do not recognize this any longer.

Consider this: perhaps they speak of it because they want China to know that we know. Or perhaps they want china to think we know more than we do. Either way, I doubt it’s because they feel they just want the press to know.

You know, its amazing how we all think alike.

That was my first thought.

Does anyone care if Maximum Leader XiXi vaporizes San Fransickening?

It would be urban renewal.

At this point in history, even the idiots in Petaluma agree.

No way in hell - its fake news just like the initial anonymously sourced reports from the Financial Times. Besides there are all manner of security levels that would have to have been OK up to Biden to release such info - release does not happen in a vacuum.

This just being played up because the military, in general, is terrified that the Dems will slash their budget, and the Space Force, in particular, because the Dems will axe it just because DJT began it.

Experts at the Pentagon’s advanced research agency Darpa are said to be unsure
how China achieved the hypersonic feat and what the projectile might be for....

Why not ask Hunter Biden?

Helpful Hunter and his “family connections” might have assisted China in it’s hypersonic weapon development. Imperiling Americans’ safety and security? Nah, not a concern to the Bidens.

THIS IS WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT HUNTER’S ACTIVITIES:
<><> in 2017 he had a deal to transfer liquid natural gas from Louisiana to CEFC, a Chinese company,

<><> in 2016 BHR invested in CATL, a CCP Chinese company now the world’s biggest maker of batteries for electric vehicles.

<><>BHR’s earlier deal helped finance an Australian coal-mining company controlled by a state-owned CCP firm.

<><> Hunter also assisted a subsidiary of a CCP Chinese defense conglomerate in buying a Michigan auto parts maker.

Nor was Joe Biden oblivious to all of this.

<><>As a US Senator he frequently met with CCP minister in DC.
.

<><>As VP, Joe Biden sucked up to Xi........then China gave tens of millions to Joe’s “non profits.”

Biden Center Under Investigation for Illegal Donations From China
DB Daily Update | David Blackmon / FR Posted on 5/25/2020, 9:19:56 AM by EyesOfTX

If the label says “Biden,” it was definitely influenced by China. – John Solomon at JustTheNews.com is reporting that The National Legal and Policy Center has asked the U.S. Department of Education to investigate its findings that the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) has over the past several years accepted more than $22 million in anonymous China-originated donations to its Biden Center and failed to properly disclose the contributions.

From Solomon’s report: The complaint, filed by the National Legal and Policy Center, says that over the past three years, the university has (admitted to accepting around) $22 million in anonymous funding from Chinese sources. That’s out of a total of more than $70 million from Chinese donors during that time, the NLPC said.

Those significant funds, including the anonymous amounts, rolled in after the Biden Center was announced in early 2017 and launched in February 2018. The center is located in downtown Washington, D.C. Federal records show that the University of Pennsylvania has received significant donations from Communist China since the opening of the Biden Center.

One 2018 donation alone totals $14.5 million; it is listed as “anonymous” in federal records. The NLPC alleges the university may have violated federal law in accepting those anonymous monetary donations from Communist China. The Higher Education Act mandates schools report the national origins of any donations above $250,000 although not necessarily the individual names of donors themselves. [End]

This serves as just one more reminder that Biden, his son (and his brother) have long been in the pockets of Communist Chinese interests. The stark reality facing our country today is that all of the gains President Donald Trump has made through the sheer force of his will in terms of U.S./China relations and trade policy will be immediately reversed the day after Biden assumes office.

..........virtually all U.S. antibiotics and PPE are sourced through Communist China at some point along their supply chains ..........s fair share.

KEEP IN MIND.....virtually all U.S. antibiotics and PPE are sourced through China at some point along their supply chains....... There are trillions of dollars at stake, and Creepy Uncle Joe wants to ensure his family continues to get its fair share out of Communist China.

U of Pennsylvania made a $100 million contribution to Phila School District.
Is Penn’s donation Chinese money? Facilitated by Biden?
Is Penn getting rid of evidence to save Biden’s sorry ***?
WHYY.com / FR Posted on 12/6/2020 by Kid Shelleen

The U of Pennsylvania made a gargantuan $100 million contribution to the School District of Philadelphia.

When Ivy League Penn made its announcement, City Council member Helen Gym and others voiced hope that other universities with large landholdings, like Temple or Drexel, might also pony up. (Excerpt) Read more at whyy.org ...

Joe Biden, his son Hunter, were all too willing to aid and abet China.......when the checks cleared.

Daily mail.com

Revealed: Hunter Biden raked in $6M in just nine months from Chinese business dealings - and that doesn’t include the 2.8 carat-diamond he got as a gift

Hunter Biden raked in $6m over nine months from his Chinese business dealings according to a timeline of his affairs which goes into unprecedented detail.

Joe Biden’s son was involved with a series of transactions which were flagged for ‘potential financial criminal activity’, a Senate report has revealed.

The money included a $5m payment from a Chinese energy company with ties to the Communist party and $1m for work with an associate who was later jailed for bribery.

The payments began days after Hunter sent his infamous email to one associate in 2017 talking about money for ‘the big guy’ and deals for ‘me and my family’.
