EMP balloons, well I guess you could take out a much smaller area, and possibly one somewhat hardened.

but it is an unlikely scenario

Those two men used to live in China for 10+ years. Now they’re wanted criminals in China because they talk about China.

They’re good people. Really.

Here’s what the balloon incident tells me.

1. China is more technologically advanced than we knew (what they can see with that balloon, more than seen with satellites).

2. China is getting information for the purpose of carrying out more effective nuclear strikes against us in the near future, probably along with North Korea, Iran and Russia.

3. They want to rule the world, but I already knew that. The PLA is not the nice Chinese people you’ve already met. The PLA is dead serious about expanding influence perpetually. Existence of governments and freer societies like ours (chaos) is considered to be a threat to their desired way of life (order).

So, what does it say, in one sentence? The idea that you want us to watch two hours without any reason why, is crazy and impolite....

Didn't watch it. I heard it says "All Your Base Are Belong To Us."

While we are dealing with a multi state blackout, they invade Taiwan

A very real possibility.

I believe China is using the spy balloons to help them with their food shortages by finding our cats and dogs. LOL

No only did they live in China for 10+ years, they married, raised a family, ran businesses, and speak fluent Mandarin, aka Chinese, ans maintain vast number of contact in China this day.

They do not pretend to be ‘intellectual giants’ - just ordinary people explaining how China works, its culture, its politics, and what is happening right now inside China.

You can continue to live in ignorance about China along with most other Westerners, gleaning only what the drive by media tells you on glitzy entertaining TV shows. Educate yourself or live in ignorance, your choice.

Remember this gem?
https://maritime-executive.com/article/u-s-navy-closes-four-drydocks-at-puget-sound-shipyard-over-quake-risk

Yeah earthquakes are a feature in Western WA.

“Washington State’s Department of Natural Resources estimates that the odds of a magnitude 9.0 quake within the next 50 years are about 10-17 percent. Tsunami flooding depths along Northwest beaches are expected to range from 60-100 feet, but **Bremerton is far inland enough that it would not be substantially affected.**”

It should be noted that Bremerton is not inland, but on Puget Sound and any tsunami will over-top it.

You must understand the concept below to understand what is happening - most are too busy to understand more than a sound bite, which is usually quickly forgotten.

This is not a sound bite, but a process of education, because China is not what you are told it is - its not some Western country with a dictatorship; failing to become educated on China will lead to bafflement, misunderstandings, and eventual submission. Your choice.

China will not nuke the US because they want the land for agriculture, for investments, and a place to immigrate to; having destroyed the environment of the mainland, they covet our land with its clean air, water and soil.


The Secret Speech of General Chi Haotian - Minister of National Defense from 1993 to 2003
https://jrnyquist.blog/2019/09/11/the-secret-speech-of-general-chi-haotian/

“... Our resources are in very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely threatened ...

our limited resources would not long support the population and society would collapse, once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our nation. It’s not that we haven’t paid attention to this issue ...

Western countries established colonies all around the world, therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they could develop outside of China ...

Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, [so] how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.

Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the same leadership of the CCP.


In short, China’s leadership considers the US to be mostly empty space, ripe for colonization. And the more people who remain ignorant because they will not spare the time to learn, makes Chinese colonization more inevitable.

On April 1, 2001 a Chinese Air Force jet collided with a U.S. military spy plane 70 miles off the coast of China, forcing it to land on the Chinese island of Hainan. This occurred ten weeks after the inauguration of George W. Bush as president. The Chinese military held the American crew for ten days until the Bush administration issued a “letter of two sorries” in which the US government said it was sorry for the death of a Chinese pilot involved in the incident and was sorry for entering Chinese airspace. The Chinese disassembled the plane and later returned the parts. The United States paid China $34,000 for the cost of lodging and feeding the crew for ten days as well as the cost of disassembling the plane and shipping it back to the United States.

The Chinese humiliated the US and the new president. Instead of reassessing the one sided “free trade” policies that were dismantling domestic manufacturing and shipping it overseas, the Bush administration continued to work with US companies to ship manufacturing, jobs, and our economic strength to China. Imagine where we would be today if Bush had kicked China out of the WTO and redirected US trade and economic policy to revitalizing our domestic manufacturing.

We were warned in 2001 and we failed to heed the warning. Today we send our military stockpiles to help Ukraine defend its border while millions of people annually cross our borders to take up permanent residence and a Chinese balloon flies unopposed across the breadth of the homeland.

We claim to be a superpower. Over a 20 year period we dismantled the greatest industrial infrastructure on the planet and gave much of it to the Chinese. The manufacturing infrastructure that saved the Allies in WWII is gone. Our military tells us it will be years before US manufacturers can replenish the arms stockpiles sent to Ukraine in a few months. The truth is the US domestic industrial infrastructure cannot supply the goods it supplied during WWII today, much less support a protracted war with China. For a nation to truly be a superpower it must have the economic infrastructure to support its military in a war with nations having modern militaries.

If we are truly a superpower, why do we blink when tested by the Chinese?

He/she did say this, which is a sentence, and says a lot:

“they do a good job in analyzing Chinese propaganda on this issue and the common tactics they use to deceive western people “

The China giveaway of course started with Nixon and Kissinger, but picked up steam with both Bushes and Clinton, then kept on going except for the hiccup under Trump.

The Chinese have multiple ways they’ve defeated/are defeating us without nukes.

Nukes would be more of a globalist shortcut to dropping population and snuffing out American influence.

Will they respect the rights and culture of the indigenous peoples? (Yea, it’s rhetorical )

No, because China is developing a genetic virus with the aim of eventually killing off all other races. Covid was just distribution test. China sends US$10 billion on precision medicine; US spends US$200 million. [precision medicine=genetic research] (not rhetorical).
