#13  Before we get too excited it is time to remember that the Chinese literally wrote the book on PSYOP. Sun-Tzu, Sun Pin and other generals left behind their thoughts on how to psyche out and bamboozle the enemy...

#9  IMO, it is of some moment that the COVID-19 viral strains spread throughout Asia largely lack ORF8. In contrast, the USA (which does have ORF8 COVID-19 viral strains) has about 20% of the world’s deaths, but we are less than 5% of the world’s population. On its face, this looks suspiciously like a bioweapon attack; especially because of the existence of more virulent viral strains that could be used for targeted attacks against “undesirable” (read “deplorable”) individuals — while “regular” COVID provides a smokescreen of sorts for such targeting. In any case, our economic loss has been profound. And, the COVID-19 virus likely has less than natural beginnings (see, e.g., https://t.co/SuouPc7IP8).

It’s interesting (if not completely encouraging), that the ORF8 viral sequence of the COVID-19 viral genome is deleting from the COVID-19 virus over time - as occurred around 2002 with SARS-CoV-1 (just as if that’s an engineered feature). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.meegid.2020.104525. So, even if ORF8 strains were used to target a particular individual, collateral damage would be somewhat limited.

#8  re: #4

I've seen similar sentiments elsewhere, but, I haven't seen any explanation as to why or who is threatening Xi.

What's up with this train of thought?

#3  BTW: in case you missed it...

Shenzhen borders
Hong Kong the PRO-LIBERTY city Red-China is having issues with.

Beijing and Tianjin
Both parallel North/South Korea on the map where there is a lot naval actions.

These are all locations with Sea access points.

#2  Us, the citizens of the USA and other countries have funded Red-China's Military growth and Modernization.

Think about all the technology and $$$$$$ our Globalist corporations have pushed into RED-China over the last 30 years. Even Missile / Satellite technology.

As Obama would proudly say...
We built that enemy.

#1  Last chance for Comrade Xi to become significant before Mr Xi's untimely, rapid medical decline (cough!).
