“We should be open to the reality that China is also capable of technological innovation,” said Jeffrey Lewis, a nuclear weapons expert at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey.

“I would be careful about exaggerated characterisations that may help excuse a mundane intelligence failure. If we say some innovation is impossible to imagine, then no one is really responsible for missing it.”

1.1.1. China's past ranking in technology

Larger neural counts and greater cognitive capabilities? Not even causing superiority complex, as one won't of course bother to make the silly comparison between H0m0 Sapiens Sapiens (H0m0 SS) with Sinanthrope that belong obviously to two separate distinct groups of hominid subspecies, that have evolved separately after leaving Africa since 2 millions years ago to become endemic.

The scope of the Greater Chinese Civilization advance versus the rest of mankind, before its demise after the Mongol invasion can be seen here. The original and its copy by the eternal western plagiarists:

And indeed, for millennia, China has leaded in the human development unparalleled, and by light years. And in both branch of the technological trees (武士道,養氣之道).

It is only the plundered military technology tree (武士道: "the way of the warrior") by the Mongolian invaders that have been spread westward to the Greater Roman Civilization upon the collapse of the Pax Mongolica by the 15th century, and that was later reverse engineered by the Europeans.

But this process took centuries (Roger Bacon, Johannes Gutenberg, Leonardo da Vinci, etc).

According to Soheil's estimations, without the collapse of the the Chinese civilization in 1279 following the Mongol invasion, China should have completed both technological trees, the military focus and the Way of Chi (Chi Art: 養氣之道 (ZH) / 英知の道 (JP) Eichi no michi: Road of Wisdom) that unlocks the next phase in the human evolution by the 18th century at the latest.

This means, the nuclear age, spaceflight, genetics, A.I., and of course at the core, psychotronics technologies should have been discovered by the Chinese 3 centuries ago. Contact by advanced exo-civilizations should have followed smoothly upon completion of the prerequisites.

Instead, the Europeans, having never developed independently any tech of the Chi Arts branch, nor inherited any from the Mongols, are from 1945 onward stucked in a Dystopian evolutionary dead end! And still clueless.

Unfortunately, taking into these abyss of totalitarism the entire humankind with them, forever unable to break the exo-diplomatic bottleneck.

Doomed from day one, as Chi Arts can only be discovered by the Chinese Civilization, as the warlike genetics of both Mongols and Europeans alike simply make these tech unappealing and of no use (think of veggies), therefore disregarded and never taken by the invaders when they entered Yangzhou in 1276, Chongqing in 1277 and Hezhou in 1279.



To make it simpler, the Greater Chinese Civilization has always been one Technological Era in advance, compared to the rest of humankind.

When the Greater Roman Civilization's Europeans were fighting with arrows, bows and catapults during the Classical Era, the Chinese were already using crossbows[web.archive.org], composite bows and trebuchets[web.archive.org].

When the Greater Roman Civilization's Europeans had reverse engineered crossbows, composite bows and trebuchets during the Middle Ages, the Chinese were already using rockets, canons, guns and ocean-going sailing ships[web.archive.org].

When the Greater Roman Civilization's Europeans had reverse engineered rockets, cannons, guns and ocean-going sailing ships during the Renaissance Era, the Chinese had already started to develop unpropelled and propelled manned flight.

When the Greater Roman Civilization's Europeans had reverse engineered the propelled manned flight during the Modern Era, the Japanese as the only inheritors of the Greater Chinese Civilization after the Pax Mongolica, had already developed Directed Energy weapons and Mind-Control space warfare.

As the game ends with the discovery of mind-control technology threshold in 1945, no further score will be recorded.

The scenario is now completed. The world being finally unified under a single ruler, a single empire, a single civilization.

Being the eternal second means that the Greater Roman Civilization always busy in trying to catch up with the leader's technological gap over the last millennia, didn't even have the time to be aware of, not to say to plagiarize the last two game-ending technologies of the Space Age from East Asia before the finishing line!

Obvious that genetics matters, making a huge and permanent difference.

This is scientific truth, universally acknowledged, and as officially accepted by the most advanced exo-civilizations.

As for the theory of General Relativity, and subsequent “Dark Matter” etc, epistemology that studies the history of science shows that over the last 2 millennia, the European civilization has mostly developed wrong models to explain the world it perceived!

• The philosopher's stone, more properly philosophers' stone or stone of the philosophers is a mythical alchemical substance capable of turning base metals such as mercury into gold (chrysopoeia, from the Greek χρυσός khrusos, "gold", and ποιεῖν poiēin, "to make") or silver. It is also called the elixir of life, useful for rejuvenation and for achieving immortality; for many centuries, it was the most sought goal in alchemy.

• The celestial spheres, or celestial orbs, were the fundamental entities of the cosmological models developed by Plato, Eudoxus, Aristotle, Ptolemy, Copernicus, and others. In these celestial models, the apparent motions of the fixed stars and planets are accounted for by treating them as embedded in rotating spheres made of an aetherial, transparent fifth element (quintessence), like jewels set in orbs. Since it was believed that the fixed stars did not change their positions relative to one another, it was argued that they must be on the surface of a single starry sphere.

• The phlogiston theory is a superseded scientific theory that postulated the existence of a fire-like element called phlogiston contained within combustible bodies and released during combustion. The name comes from the Ancient Greek φλογιστόν phlogistón (burning up), from φλόξ phlóx (flame). The idea was first proposed in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher and later put together more formally by Georg Ernst Stahl. Phlogiston theory attempted to explain chemical processes of weight increase such as combustion and rusting, now collectively known as oxidation, and was abandoned before the end of the 18th century following experiments by Antoine Lavoisier and others. Phlogiston theory led to experiments which ultimately concluded with the discovery of oxygen.

• According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also spelled æther, aither, or ether and also called quintessence (fifth element), is the material that fills the region of the universe above the terrestrial sphere.[1] The concept of aether was used in several theories to explain several natural phenomena, such as the traveling of light and gravity. In the late 19th century, physicists postulated that aether permeated all throughout space, providing a medium through which light could travel in a vacuum, but evidence for the presence of such a medium was not found in the Michelson–Morley experiment, and this result has been interpreted as meaning that no such luminiferous aether exists.

• General Relativity, also known as the general theory of relativity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and is the current description of gravitation in modern physics.

• Europeans have invented everything while Chinese only steal it from the Europeans.

• etc..

Therefore no surprise, as the supraluminal datalink established by the Chinese Quantum Satellite has already totally discredited Einstein's century old fallacy.

No trace either of the graviton, nor the dark matter, dark energy etc.

1.1.2. The genetic exo-diplomatic bottleneck

Ecosystems create species. By making them endemic. H0m0 SS (modern European humans) and ethnic Chinese have evolved in totally different ecosystems for too long since their common hominid ancestors in Africa.

Sinanthrope was an H0m0 Erectus precisely and settled in the Chinese rain forests 2 millions years ago, that further evolved into the endemic sub-species of today's modern Chinese, while other groups of H0m0 Erectus continued in their migratory expansions southward toward South East Asia, and evolve into endemic subspecies, including the Java Man, Flores Man, etc...

Therefore the Sinanthrope did not interacted with H0m0 SS, that left Africa only 45'000 years ago to move Northward, until much later.

Proof, the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) ecosystem created the conditions to form the endemic Chinese sub-species that is resistant to virus and diseases of this Humid subtropical climate, along malaria, and including all the snake-borne and bat-carried ones such as today's SARS, H1N1, COVID-19, unlike the H0m0 SS that is driven into the verge of total collapse due to its genetic weakness!

▲ The Humid subtropical climate (CFa) created the conditions to form the endemic Chinese sub-species specially fit to survive the endemic sub-tropical diseases.[web.archive.org]

Notice how the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) ecosystem has created the conditions for the rise of the Chinese Civilization, and its Liang dynasty that naturally institutionalized vegetarianism, previously a cultural habit based on genetic settings.

And of course ethnic Europeans (aka H0m0 SS) were known to be great hunters and meat eaters when they came from Africa, and invaded the European continent 45'000 years ago.

The pressure for the same resources was such as to cause the extinction of the native Europeans called Neanderthals!

On the other hand, ethnic Chinese (aka Sinanthrope) have obviously quasi vegetarian ancestors, at the exception of the ethnic Mongols and Manchus invaders' descents.

Therefore ethnic Chinese have no problem, with vegan diet, as long as they eat more than their carnivorous counterparts from the North.

In a nutshell, Vegans must be chubby.

Same goes for the Great Panda, who eats most of the day time, and unlike the wolves, snakes and crocodiles, etc, who only eat every other days, weeks or so.

This veg diet has not only systematicaly produced the largest living animals on each Geological era of the Earth, but same goes for the humankind.

Everyone knows that years of dedicated training of the famous Chinese Shaolin monks are legendary, having bones so dense due to repeated physical stress, that the multiple micro fractures after re-calcifications allows increased strength, far superior than any other humans!

Why Shaolin are vegetarians?

▲ Emperor Wu of Liang (梁武帝) (464–549), The Bodhisattva Emperor[upload.wikimedia.org]

In 507 some years after the Foundation of Shaolin Temple, the Buddhist Emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty convened a conference to discuss the question of meat eating. He also, wrote an essay entitled "Forsake Alcohol and Meat" in which he urged Buddhists to become vegetarians. Emperor Wu is traditionally said to be responsible for the institutionalization of vegetarianism in Chinese Buddhism.

So , all the Shaolin are vegetarians ?

They ought to be. The first of Buddhism's Ten Precepts is, "Refrain from destroying life."


Vajrayana monks may eat meat because Vajrayana Buddhism incorporated many Tibetan practices, and as vegetables were rare in Tibet, Tibetans ate a lot of meat. On the other hand, Mahayana Buddhism flourished in China, where Mahayana monks grew their own food and were strict vegetarians.

Becoming a monk marks one of the highest points in a person's life. It calls for great sacrifice and dedication, and should be undertaken only after very serious and thorough consideration.

If a monk cannot resist worldly temptations like eating meat and drinking alcohol, he should leave his monk hood because he would be blatantly disrespecting his sacred monastic order.

Animal husbandry

Why would a vegan need to digest dairy?

The genes of tolerance to lactose, the primary carbohydrate in dairy are specific to H0m0 SS, while for Sinanthrope (not to be confused with Northern Mongols Manchus invaders and inbreeds) consuming dairy causes diarrhea, pain and other serious, digestive symptoms.

Fishing and hunting

The ultraviolet radiation in sunlight is required for the synthesis of vitamin D3.

The major natural source of the vitamin is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of skin epidermis through a chemical reaction that is dependent on sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation).

The Chinese Cfa ecosystem centered around 20 degrees North to 40 degrees North of latitude is endowed with long seasons of intense but not torrid solar radiation. Therefore the changeable skin pigmentation.

Unlike H0m0 SS, that lives in higher latitudes, with both very long seasons of lower solar radiation, and too cold for living exposed bare chested. Therefore the lower skin pigmentation.

For H0m0 SS, the only alternative source of significant amounts of vitamin D can only be found through the consumption of red meat, animal liver, egg yolks and oily fish – such as salmon, sardines, herring and mackerel.

Anatomy

But there are even more blatant evidences: H0m0 SS to support its mostly carnivorous diet has 4 sharp canine teeth.

This fact is so pivotal that European schools have started to censor this most compromising anatomic detail in their textbooks about 40 years ago.

Basically the same European inferiority complex when talking about human brain size.

No ethnic Chinese have canines, because Sinanthrope didn't have the need to develop this carnivorous trait.

H0m0 SS enjoys the taste of bloody meat. The molecule associated is the infamous Monosodium glutamate (MSG).

But no ethnic Chinese can detect it! (Not to be confused with invaders from Mongolian Manchu descents or West Asia)

Basically, ethnic Chinese share this similarity with other endemic species such as the Great Panda, Red Panda and Momanga (only enjoy taste of veg) and unlike the bears!

Again European schools in Chemistry classes censor this by inferiority complex.


Because of this wrong genetic setting, H0m0 SS was doomed from day one to end up in the self-made, self-defeating dystopian evolutionary dead end of today, upon reaching the psychotronic era threshold, associated with the discovery of particle physics, semiconductors, computers, space age, robotics, genetic engineering and A.I.

That is by 1945.

Vegan -> self-defence -> animal mutualist symbiosis -> compassion -> cultured and civilized -> rationalism -> eco-compliance -> exo-diplomatic compliance -> next stage in evolution Monosodium glutamate (MSG) detection -> hunting -> warmongering -> genocide -> slavery -> exploitation -> imperialism -> colonialism -> totalitarism -> ecocide -> dystopian evolutionary deadend Monosodium glutamate (MSG) detection -> animal husbandry -> slavery -> natives reservations -> internment camps -> extermination camps -> dystopian evolutionary deadend

Vegan is in the Chinese' genetics therefore in its core civilization (from start 2 million BC to Liang Dynasty).

What did Ancient Chinese soldiers eat?

Mostly grains. The most common being millet (pre-Qin and Han dynasties), since it has the longest shelf life compared to rice or wheat. Also, it was a stable crop in northern China, where most fighting took place between China and the nomadic invaders. Soldiers would boil the millet into congee, then add a source of salt (salt crystal, fermented fish, fermented soybean paste, or pickled vegetable), and whatever vegetables they scavenged along the way. Salt was a precious commodity back then, and soldier’s rations would include both grains and salt.

When soldiers from southern China made up part of the army, rice became part of the diet, because southern Chinese weren’t used to eating millet.

Ming army had a type of instant rice made from cooked and dried rice, just add hot water and it’s ready.

Under most circumstances, meat was very rare. Cows were used in farming, and horses were part of the cavalry. If an army is well disciplined, its soldiers were forbidden from taking animals from the local farms, especially the cows. It was a crime punishable by death. Depending on where the army came from, dried fish or meat jerky might be part of the diet. Only the generals could expect meat at meal time.

Fresh vegetable and fruit were even more of a luxury than fresh meat and thus not normally included in the logistics.

Like meat, alcoholic beverages were considered a luxury rather than a necessity.

As Chinese people were avid tea drinkers, tea was the most important drink after water in the military.

H0m0 SS has therefore no future, although it took 45'000 years for them to unravel this ultimate truth, and unlike the sons of the Bodhisattva Emperor (Emperor Wu of Liang 梁武帝). The only ones to be compliant with all the exo-diplomatic prerequisites that could unlock the next stage in the human civilization.

Under the current Pax Americana, humans are being denied the right to cure all tumors including cancer and all infectious diseases including COVID-19.

Civilian Meson Particle accelerators will for ever be restricted to military use to ensure the survival of the Dystopian Empire.

Upon reaching the space age threshold by 1940, humankind should have unlocked technologies to prevent death due to aging. Lost limbs and organs should have been restored with molecular engineering 80 years ago already.

Today's humans are living in the pre-WW2 era standards, forced to age and die, instead of living as enlightened ever-young immortals.

1.1.3. China's focus tree

The COVID-19 pandemic has only hastened the demise of the Old World Order and the rise of the Pax Sinica.

And indeed, this inevitable outcome was from start, back 2 millions years ago totally foreseeable.


So why so much surprises and rage from some other minor players? Misconceptions, turned into dogmas, leading to this academic pitfall.

Indeed, the reading was wrong, without taking into account the overwhelming evidences in the bigger picture, while totally overlooking, due to state censorship and denial the genetic reality of the world.


History is no arts for would-be paleoartists but hard science. Use computer simulations.

The North Chinese average 2.69 Petabytes brain capacity has no competitors, certainly not the 2.59 Petabytes North Europeans, least the 2.5 Petabytes South Europeans.

And for 2 millions of years, that is since the rise of the first Sinanthropes, the gap was similar with all its hominid competitors.

One major consequence of this genetic gap is seen in the military field, where China as a civilization has never been defeated by the Europeans.

This thruth should expectingly be received here by foreign readers as a shocking revelation at best, which it is not of course, and most likely with utter dismay, anger and desperation from the most brainwashed.

Here the debunking, that shatters five centuries of European institutional self-deception, state disinformation and academic revisionism.

When Marco Polo, made the trip to China, between 1271 and 1295, as the alleged first European, where he also met Kublai Khan, it was in fact to the Mongolian Empire.

The last independent Chinese state of the Southern Song dynasty having been defeated in the Battle of Yamen in 1279 and annexed to the Mongolian Empire.

Again what was later used as a political tool to further European imperialist ambitions in the Manchurian Empire (from 1921 Russian, then from 1945 American hidden rogue putschist faction), and called as the 'Chinese century of humiliation', covering the period between 1839 and 1949, can not be farther from the truth, simply because China wasn't an independant state, having been annexed into the Manchurian Empire since 1644 to 1912.

Followed by various Manchurian Empire's splinters fighting factions or cliques, sponsored by foreign powers, and from 1928 to 1945, partly under one of them, a British wire pulled puppet Republic of China, and partly under another one as a Russian puppet faction, the comintern.


Therefore, it is accurate to say that the Europeans have never defeated the Chinese civilization over the last 4'000 years of history.

And it is quite the opposite. China defeated Portugal twice, under the Ming Dynasty's naval fleet in the 1521 Battle of Tunmen (屯门海战) and the 1522 Battle of Shancaowan (茜草湾之战).

China's Admiral Zheng Chenggong (鄭成功) defeated Holland in 1661 in the Battle of Formosa.


In short only larger brains size thus higher memory capacities, from the colder north (Mongols, Manchus) have subjugated China in the past. But these in turn have been systematically overthrown due to their inherent weakness in other cognitive abilities, due to the poorer diversity of their ecosystems (desertic, tundra vs Chinese highest and coldest plateau in the world, desertic with largest temperature gaps, temperate plains and forests, and mostly hot rainy subtropical).

With such outstanding military record, unmatched in the history of humankind, only predetermined by the starting ecosystem of each players and epigenetics, the Chinese civilization is about to reach the finish line first, within this century and ending the game. Completing all the Chi Arts requirements, as war is no longer an option with the most advanced exo-civilization.

Due to both complacency and insufficient cognitive abilities of the Greater Roman Civilization, being ignorant of the human civilization's past history, and clueless about the present, they can't correctly foresee the future of the HISTOMAP, that will remain forever beyond their comprehension's horizon.


1.2. Videomancy

Mulan (2020)[web.archive.org]2[archive.ph] is an American fantasy action drama film produced by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Niki Caro from a screenplay by Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver, Lauren Hynek, and Elizabeth Martin, it is a live-action adaptation of the 1998 Walt Disney Animation Studios film of the same name, itself based on the Chinese folklore story Ballad of Mulan.

The film stars Yifei Liu in the title role, alongside Donnie Yen, Tzi Ma, Jason Scott Lee, Yoson An, Ron Yuan, Gong Li, and Jet Li in supporting roles. In the film, Hua Mulan, the eldest daughter of an honored warrior, masquerades as a man to take her ailing father's place during a general conscription to counter the Rouran army in Imperial China.

In this Hollywood vision of today's China, the main videomancy's hint is that the female hero's father, played by actor Tzi Ma shares an uncanny resemblance with Xi Jinping, the President of the People's Republic of China since 2013.

Named Hua Zhou, Mulan's father and a famed war veteran who fought the barbarian invaders from the north, is now recalled to the Imperial Army despite his crippled leg.

Of course this ailing man can not save China anymore, but, but, but, his daughter Mulan, representing the younger female generation will be able to save the Emperor and the Empire and defeat the men from the North!

China tests new space capability with hypersonic missile

Launch in August of nuclear-capable rocket that circled the globe took US intelligence by surprise

October 16 2021

China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught US intelligence by surprise.

Five people familiar with the test said the Chinese military launched a rocket that carried a hypersonic glide vehicle which flew through low-orbit space before cruising down towards its target.

The missile missed its target by about two-dozen miles, according to three people briefed on the intelligence. But two said the test showed that China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realised.

The test has raised new questions about why the US often underestimated China’s military modernisation.

“We have no idea how they did this,” said a fourth person.

The US, Russia and China are all developing hypersonic weapons, including glide vehicles that are launched into space on a rocket but orbit the earth under their own momentum. They fly at five times the speed of sound, slower than a ballistic missile. But they do not follow the fixed parabolic trajectory of a ballistic missile and are manoeuvrable, making them harder to track.

Taylor Fravel, an expert on Chinese nuclear weapons policy who was unaware of the test, said a hypersonic glide vehicle armed with a nuclear warhead could help China “negate” US missile defence systems which are designed to destroy incoming ballistic missiles.

“Hypersonic glide vehicles . . . fly at lower trajectories and can manoeuvre in flight, which makes them hard to track and destroy,” said Fravel, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Fravel added that it would be “destabilising” if China fully developed and deployed such a weapon, but he cautioned that a test did not necessarily mean that Beijing would deploy the capability.




Michael Gallagher, a Republican member of the House armed services committee, said the test should “serve as a call to action”.

“The People’s Liberation Army now has an increasingly credible capability to undermine our missile defences and threaten the American homeland with both conventional and nuclear strikes,” said Gallagher. “Even more disturbing is the fact that American technology has contributed to the PLA’s hypersonic missile program.”

US military officials in recent months have warned about China’s growing nuclear capabilities, particularly after the release of satellite imagery that showed it was building more than 200 intercontinental missile silos. China is not bound by any arms-control deals and has been unwilling to engage the US in talks about its nuclear arsenal and policy.

Last month, Frank Kendall, US air force secretary, hinted that Beijing was developing a new weapon. He said China had made huge advances, including the “potential for global strikes . . . from space”. He declined to provide details, but suggested that China was developing something akin to the “Fractional Orbital Bombardment System” that the USSR deployed for part of the Cold War, before abandoning it.

“If you use that kind of an approach, you don’t have to use a traditional ICBM trajectory. It’s a way to avoid defences and missile warning systems,” said Kendall.

In August, General Glen VanHerck, head of North American Aerospace Defense Command, told a conference that China had “recently demonstrated very advanced hypersonic glide vehicle capabilities”. He warned that the Chinese capability would “provide significant challenges to my Norad capability to provide threat warning and attack assessment”.

Two of the people familiar with the Chinese test said the weapon could, in theory, fly over the South Pole. That would pose a big challenge for the US military because its missiles defence systems are focused on the northern polar route.

Hu Xijin, editor of Global Times, a patriotic Chinese state-run media outlet, tweeted that China would improve its nuclear deterrence to “ensure that the US abandons the idea of nuclear blackmail against China”.

The revelation comes as the Biden administration undertakes the Nuclear Posture Review, an analysis of policy and capabilities mandated by Congress that has pitted arms-control advocates against those who believe the US must do more to modernise its nuclear arsenal because of China.

The Pentagon did not comment on the report but expressed concern about China. “We have made clear our concerns about the military capabilities China continues to pursue, capabilities that only increase tensions in the region and beyond,” said John Kirby, spokesperson. “That is one reason why we hold China as our number-one pacing challenge.”

The Chinese embassy declined to comment on the test, but Liu Pengyu, spokesperson, said China always pursued a military policy that was “defensive in nature” and its military development did not target any country.

“We don’t have a global strategy and plans of military operations like the US does. And we are not at all interested in having an arms race with other countries,” Liu said. “In contrast, the US has in recent years been fabricating excuses like ‘the China threat’ to justify its arms expansion and development of hypersonic weapons. This has directly intensified arms race in this category and severely undermined global strategic stability.”

One Asian national security official said the Chinese military conducted the test in August. China generally announces the launch of Long March rockets — the type used to launch the hypersonic glide vehicle into orbit — but it conspicuously concealed the August launch.

The security official, and another Chinese security expert close to the People’s Liberation Army, said the weapon was being developed by the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics. CAAA is a research institute under China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, the main state-owned firm that makes missile systems and rockets for China’s space programme. Both sources said the hypersonic glide vehicle was launched on a Long March rocket, which is used for the space programme.

The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, which oversees launches, on July 19 said on an official social media account that it had launched a Long March 2C rocket, which it added was the 77th launch of that rocket. On August 24, it announced that it had conducted a 79th flight. But there was no announcement of a 78th launch, which sparked speculation among observers of its space programme about a secret launch. CAAA did not respond to requests for comment.

How anxious is US about report on China’s ‘hypersonic weapons’? Biden gives the answer

By Hu Xijin

Published: Oct 21, 2021 08:13 PM

Another exclusive report by the Financial Times claimed that China conducted two - not one - hypersonic weapon test this summer, which "stunned the Pentagon and US intelligence." The report cited a person familiar with the first test in July as saying US government scientists were struggling to understand the capability, which the US does not currently possess, adding that China's achievement appeared "to defy the laws of physics."

When US President Joe Biden was asked whether he was worried about the development of the high-speed maneuverable weapons, he responded, "yes," according to the report.

Earlier this week, China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson denied the previous report by the Financial Times, but the somewhat nervous comments from the US did not stop. The White House said it has already raised concerns about China's "hypersonic weapon tests" through diplomatic channels.

If the report is true, I believe the Chinese people will be happy. This breakthrough will help contain the US strategic arrogance over China and further exclude the possibility that the US blackmails China with nuclear weapons at key junctures.

"Hypersonic weapons are strategic game-changers with the dangerous potential to fundamentally undermine strategic stability as we know it," US Senator Angus King said on Monday. Such concerns are representative in the US. The US has invested the most resources in a missile defense system, which Washington views as a trump card against China and Russia. Nonetheless, hypersonic weapons mean the invalidation of US anti-missile network.

But I would like to tell the Americans: please stay rational, return to the logic of the great power game in the nuclear age, and make a practical adjustment of security concept.

The US long tried to build a military security system in which it could destroy other powers with nuclear weapons, while others could not do the same to the US, and established it as an overwhelming bargaining chip for its domination of the world order. This is an unattainable mad idea. All previous technological advances and actual deployments have been illusory. To reach the balance of nuclear terror that guarantees mutual destruction is the real logic for peace and stability in the nuclear age. It is impossible for the US to change it to a situation where only Washington can have complete and effective nuclear deterrence.

Even if the US' missile-defense system fails, it does not necessarily mean that the country will lose security. No normal country, or countries, with the last vestige of rationality on Earth, would voluntarily launch a nuclear attack against the US. The US' super-nuclear retaliatory capabilities are enough to discourage any idea of a "pre-emptive strike" against it. Such confidence is what the US should have, as long as it is not caught up in some kind of hysteria.

China and Russia don't have any will to challenge the conventional national security of the US. Instead, the two countries are willing to coordinate with the US over their respective interests in a bid to avoid conflicts and confrontations. When the US feels its capability of deterring China and Russia may be fundamentally dissolved, it needs serious introspection: Could its basic policy thinking about China and Russia be wrong? If Washington makes policies based on a false premise, sooner or later it will find itself lost in illusion.

I am somewhat worried about US elites of international politics. Their country is the most militarily advanced and secured country in the world, but they have acted as if the US is against the wall. The US can be said to be most neurotic in the world. The root cause is their incorrect security concept. They want the US to be absolutely safe. In that case, other countries must obey the US, or they will be struck by the US. However, this kind of absolute security does not exist in today's world.

A cryptic post suggesting hypersonic spaceplane progress, released following the FOBS media strom. Coincidence? I think not!

No one should be surprised by orbital bombardment, although the glider is a nice touch. The Soviets deployed an orbital bombardment system in the 1970s. This is an old concept that is newly relevant as a way to defeat missile defenses.

I think orbital bombardment makes sense for Russia, China and North Korea -- especially if gliders mean they can improve accuracy.

It's obvious: The US put a missile defense system in Alaska to defend against missiles coming over the North Pole. What did you think Beijing, Moscow and Pyongyang will do? Just give up?

China just used a rocket to put a space plane in orbit and the space plane glided back to earth. Orbital bombardment is the same concept, except you put a nuclear weapon on the glider and don’t bother with a landing gear.

Also, this is how arms races work. We put a missile defense in Alaska, China builds an orbital bombardment system to come up over the South Pole. It will go on like this, at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars, a forever race with no finish line.

I keep seeing people describe China’s FOBS test as a “Sputnik moment.” I think this is a lot more like 9/11 where we collectively panic and do a bunch dumb, self-destructive ♥♥♥♥ that exceeds even the hopes of our worst enemies.

We signed the Outer Space Treaty first and Moscow tested FOBS after.

2.5. Analysis

  • To recap dates around these Chinese tests:

    16 July 2021 - space plane (CN)
    19 July 2021 - Long March #77 (CN)
    27 July 2021 - "hypersonic glide vehicle" (FT)
    13 August 2021 - "second hypersonic test" (FT)
    24 August 2021 - Long March #79 (CN)

    So, assuming CALT numbers are correct, there's another system at play. There was a covert but announced Tianxing-1/天行I test Aug. 12 by commercial company Space Transportation (凌空天行), which is engaged in hypersonics.

  • Weapon system

    The alleged use of a DF-5 ICBM as booster only indicates that the Chinese FOBS HGV project is only in an early development stage.

    The DF-5 was used to test the HGV.

    Because the CASIC's Tengyun (腾云) spaceplane badge suggests that when completed, the DF-5 ICBM would be swaped with a still in development Horizontal Take-off Horizontal Landing (HTHL) spaceplane, one component of the two-stage-to-orbit (TSTO) space weapon system.

    This reusable aerospaceplane, powered by a turbine-based combined cycle (TBCC) would be the first stage.

    Its job is to carry to high altitude and launch the solid propellant second stage. This second stage will insert the HGV into orbit. Upon reaching the antipode a deorbit burn will allow the HGV to start its glided descent toward the final ground target, while performing evasive manoeuvres at hypersonic speed to defeat the enemy ground missile interceptors.

    This reusable military aerospaceplane would land back to its airfield be refuelled and rearmed before proceeding to its next target.


  • This is not a real game-changer if directed against the U.S., since Washington will be able to intercept all atmospheric vehicles with its new orbital DEW array.

    But of course, it will further deter smaller nuclear powers such as India.

    As for the alleged new arms race, if true then the situation will be a repeat of the Cold War: with a much smaller GDP, it was only a matter of time before the U.S.S.R. fails to maintain a parity and loses.

    Today, and before the end of this decade, with China outgunning the U.S. in every critical fields, including demography, GDP, GDP growth, industrial output, research output, national IQ, Rare Earth reserve, the fate of the U.S. will be similar to one of the former Soviet Union.

  • The U.S. military putschist junta seeks its survival by sticking to the old Roman-era imperial playbook of the divide and conquer.

    By fooling the world masses' low IQs, that still don't realize their nations doesn't exist anymore since the end of WWII.

    For more than seven decades, throughout the Cold War, the Russian bad cop has been hand in gloves with the U.S.A. good cop, in serving the secret U.S. military putschist junta's world order.

    In the coming new world order, China will supersede both the former good cop and bad cop.

    The 2049 Great Replacement: China As New Core Of The Empire

    Note the pattern of territorial pressure and incursions from China’s north by nomadic groups, who are attracted by the wealth of the settled, agricultural civilization of China. The most illustrative examples are those of the Mongols, who conquer China and establish the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 CE), and of the Manchus, who again conquer China and establish the last dynasty, the Qing, that rules for 300 years (1644-1911 CE). Each of these invaders rules through the Chinese bureaucracy, leading to the expression that China 'sinicizes its conquerors.'

    Just as China has always 'sinicized' or absorb all its conquerors, China itself is composed of and enriched by the integration of many different peoples and cultures with which it interacts throughout its history and which form part of China today. See in particular the Tang dynasty.

    Even before the handovers in 1997, both Hong Kong and Macau were already fully sinicized in less than a century of foreign occupations, and according to the rule that dictates weaker culture to be absorbed by stronger civilizations.

    Today's latest occupation under the U.S. Dystopian Empire, and that started even before the dust of the World War II could settle, sometimes after 1946, is again no exception.

    And for the same reasons, as discussed in previous chapters, as the exceptional geography, the critical strategic resources, and of course the outstanding genetics of its limitless manpower.

    The transfer of the U.S. Dystopian Empire's core from the U.S. mainland to China is a process that started even before the mass decapitation of Chinese leaders of 1976.

    Zhou Enlai was the first Premier of the People's Republic of China, and died of blade cancer in January 1976.

    Marshal Zhu De, one of the Ten Marshals of the People's Liberation Army, was also the chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress from 1975 to 1976, Zhu was the head of state of the People's Republic of China.
    His passing on 6 July 1976, due to a combination of colds, heart failure, and diabetes, came only six months after the death of Zhou Enlai.

    Chairman Mao ruled as the chairman of the Communist Party of China from its establishment in 1949 until his death on 9 September 1976, following three major heart attacks.

    Then it took half a century to develop the infrastructures, industrial bases and economy of China, before it could replace the U.S.

    There is no ambiguity. The Star Wars Stormtroopers proudly exhibited during a ceremony held in Yunnan on the occasion of the successful maiden flight of China's new seven-seat crew Yuanzhou-1 spacecraft, have zero connection with the Communist Party's history.

    It is an exclusive symbol of the Dystopian Empire.

    But informal ceremonies are nothing compared to state sponsored ones, especially when held in the most prestigious National University of Defence Technology (国防科技大学军)!

    Proudly referred in the media coverage as 'Outer Space Guests claded in their magnificent white armours'!

    Indeed, gones are the days when the U.S.A. could boast of being the only nation in the world that could host the Dystopian Empire's elite troops. Even as symbolical as the Stormtroopers.

    First demoted then crumbling with a negative economy, plagued by an uncontrollable COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S.A. as a former superpower is no more.

    Because this signals to the world that China is now the Chosen One, leader of the RCEP, the first economic zone in the world, demographic barycenter, promoted with the elite privilege to field the Stormtroopers representing the Pretorian Guards of the Dystopian Empire.
