Agreed 1,000%. We let them do that. We opened the borders and sold tens of thousands of acres of land to the chicoms [often adjascent to military bases]. Tens of thousands of military aged chinese men, somehow left china, somehow afforded a trans-Pacific flight, somehow were granted entry into a southern country [Ecuador mostly, they don’t require visas], somehow afforded and safely traveled to the US border, and we let them all right in. Then given them maps, scripts to claim asylum, gift cards, food, money and free plane tickets to whereever they like, no questions asked or ID required.

Chinese gov isn’t that stupid. They actually object to foreigner troops a couple of miles from their coastline.

>>Plus the Chinese troops all over the Panama Canal zone.<<

You seem to overlook the many Chinese that Biden allows into the country daily at our southern border.

But the article says they are “quieter and even more stealthy.”

The Chinese are buying condos and houses all around Boston.
Some of them never even get lived in.
Some are bought for their kid who got into MIT or Harvard.

I went to a Red Sox game about a month back. Parked in the Copley Square garage under the Prudential Center. There was a Lamborghini parked in the garage covered in dust. People had written “wash me” in the dust on the window.
I asked the attendant how long it had been there? He said some Chinese kid that was going to Northeastern parked it there six months ago.

Chinese subs are made with the cheapest parts that give the appearance of utility while bringing the largest bribe and the most profit for the builder.

Rumor has it many Chinese subs have been lost in the underwater canyons and the personnel lost, hidden.

In the final days of the Republic, America shows its true nature that has been hidden since its foundation. Too many Quislings in its Security Services and DOJ started to stir when Trump ran for the Presidency in 2016 undoing every good policy. The Swamp took over and undermined the creation of a new Great Generation.

He also gave them the way to miniaturize thermonuclear warheads - whereas before they were too big and too heavy to mount on their ICBMs.

If they do take Taiwan, they will devastate their own economy (as well as everyone else's) because their economy is extremely dependent on the semiconductor/chip industry.

This industry will undergo a world-wide collapse if Taiwan is attacked because Taiwan Semiconductor is the world's largest manufacturer of advanced chips (for Nvidia and many others).

It's a complicated matter to explain but China would be the hardest hit because the rest of the world would soon be able to shift to other facilities in Korea, Japan, and the U.S. (Arizona).

The ones that are never lived in are traditionally investments; also if they have a male child, then the parents can sell them to the kid so the kid can get married - another traditional Chinese custom.

Buying real estate outside of China is seen as secure investments; buying real estate in China is a risky business, since the State owns the land which is leased for 70 years before reverting to the Party.

That hump looks like it would generate a lot of turbulence when the sub is underway. Hard to stealthify that away..

There are two reasons a nuclear sub surfaces while on deployment. It has suffered a major problem and staying under water is not an option. Or, it is being used to send a message. I’m betting on the message.

Here’s the problem with letting either Russia or China get away with nuclear intimidation. There’s no secret to nuclear weapons. A Hiroshima sized bomb is made by just banging two pieces of refined reactant in the right weight together. The expense is largely due to other features of a nuclear program. Making it small, building an adequate delivery mechanism, keeping the electronics working, the program basing, logistics and security. If intimidation works, then in ten years fifty percent of the non-nuclear nations will have bombs. Because of the associated costs regarding security and maintenance, some of those bombs will be stolen. The United States has “managed” this situation for over seventy years. But now, our management is beginning to look like the Afghanistan disaster. We can only hope the situation doesn’t go critical before we get a president who can again negotiate stairs.

This sub looks a lot like the Soviet Delta IV submarine hull design.

Not impressed.

“But thousands have been invading us from the south.”

These are replacements for the 15 ChiComm divisions who have been hiding in the Arizona sagebrush since Clinton. They’ve reached retirement age and will be applying for Social Security and Medicare.
