The Chinese Communist Party Has an Extensive Research Network Supporting Biowarfare
2021-04-20
[Breaking Lifestyle News] Chapter 78 of the thirteenth five-year plan of the Chinese Communist Party (2016-2020) describes the amalgamation of military and civil research, including the field of "synthetic biology".

According to publications by China’s leading scientists, "synthetic biology" includes biological warfare.

Many also underestimate the possible contributions that Chinese veterinary and agricultural research can make to such a military program.

Ningyi Jin is a member of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. He is described as a virologist studying zoonotic diseases. He is from Jilin Province and is a Korean national and a member of the Chinese Communist Party.

He is also a senior officer in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army.

#15  Nice story Dron66046. You should write more.

I'm thinking, there definitely must be a decent market for those who have good content but were spurned by the woke publishers.

#13  And everyone who went along with the Chinese warfare against us, by banning any effective medical treatments, have given a chocolate bar to a toddler throwing a tantrum.

#12  Glad you like it, Wren. India keeps a close watch on Chinese research and innovation, if only to report to its betters about what new IPR is being transgressed.

There's a lot of trial-and-error in their pharma, biochemistry domains, and a ton of ideological dogma about theoretical concepts. When the paradigm for study is ideologically limited, the only recourse is to reverse engineer the work of others and bungle about. I believe the greater advancements in Chinese research and technology lie not in the science itself, but in the publication of hyped achievements.

And totalitarian societies are better able to cope with epidemics,

The Cascaescus and Saddams are a different phylum altogether; glorified warlords and dynasts painted with a coat of modernity, until they're dragged down. I think what we have come to call totalitarianism is just the western MSM, UN, and globalist lingo for 'responsible authoritarian leadership unbridled by liberal/yuppie/academic/narrow-interest voices'. Such an establishment can be good or bad depending only on whether they are supported by the majority. Putin is supported by his people, so is the CPC in fact. That, in itself gives them a rightful mandate in their domains, the dissenters be damned. And if a responsible administration is strong, unaccountable to self-righteous crazies or mercs for Soros, it is acceptable.

That being said, the entire world must crackdown on any summbitches who are researching bioweapons of any sort. In a day and age when countries are expending great resources to fight with disease, hunger and suffering some are thinking up new ways to introduce suffering on scales large enough to disbalance national economies. Such barbarians need to die, seriously.

#9  #8 Why China’s Economy Keeps Booming Even After COVID-19

Hint. The traditional way of dealing with infectious diseases, absent vaccination, is quarantine. Which kind of society is better suited to applying quarantines?

p.s. Now, after they have an empirical proof, expect China to really go for (micro)biological warfare.

#8   totalitarian societies are better able to cope with epidemics.

I would strongly disagree, based on recent evidence. But totalitarian societies are better able to ignore large numbers of deaths while blocking expression of citizen distress... until the tipping point causes them to be Ceausescu’d of course. And even though they had the exact design of the virus, because they’d developed it, the West the West not only beat them to a workable vaccine, and beat them in mass production as well, but has now produced at least four superior vaccines while China has only one — and that one is so bad that reportedly 70% of the Party members offered it have refused.

#7  Loosely related, fanciful, and only for your entertainment. Another story - shorter than the last one. The CCP, PUBG, trust fund morons, drugs, and Mortal Kombat!

MORTAL DREAMS

Analog keeps rejecting them, so do others. I think all they want nowadays is woke wishful thinking and fantasy. Gone are the days of Turtledove, Benford, Ellison and Clarke. So I write what I want to read, myself. Enjoy!

#5  And I remember being told when I kept saying nukes were so 20th Century and we'd have state actors working bio-warfare in the 21st that it wasn't feasible without variants hitting their own. When you got 2 billion people, what's 1 percent to take your most dangerous adversary out.

#4  ^If you recollect, that's what I said when the whole business started - it's like the first nuke.
