Don’t want Chinese on US Posts?
I’m sure we all saw the headlines about Chinese entities buying land near US bases. The reports said the land was ostensibly for farming, but many worried that more nefarious activities like surveillance could take place. Quite a few articles were written about it nine months ago. There was even an article in the Wall […]
Six shooters? Pah?
Gotta love a sexy six (or seven) shooter – I know revolvers in .22LR are even made as 10-shooters – so kudos to Ed for giving us one Monday. Gotta say, though, that today’s offerings are a tad more sophisticated. Let’s start with Metal Storm – a Chinese made system. How do you intercept a […]
They just approach things differently
I keep seeing all these articles on China’s rapidly increasing capabilities. Now, in the past, manufacturers called the Chinese the best thieves on the planet – not innovators at all, but let a prototype or plan each them and they would “liberate” the designs, and have a version of the product hitting the market […]
China production, US production, and more on the F-35

A new iron making technology developed in China is set to significantly impact the global steel industry. Developed […]

However, two US officials familiar with an initial assessment into the damage to the two cables told CNN Tuesday that as yet there […]
More new toys, and one olde one
China has unveiled a largish drone…ten TONs’ worth. The drone is expected to be a “mothership” for smaller drone swarms. While initially it can look like a normal attack aircraft, its central payload section is labeled as ‘Isomerism Hive Module’. This reveals that the mothership could have the capability to launch drones mid-air and then […]
Dem ticket’s China connections
We’ve been hearing about Tim Walz’ Sinophile leanings for some time. Multiple trips to China, Chinese influence…we don’t need a Russia-type dossier on him, we know he is already a pro-Chinese idealogue. But Kamala hasn’t drawn quite the scrutiny…until now. Ron Busby, who has visited the Biden-Harris White House dozens of times and is the […]
A Utah National Guard sergeant major interfered with snooping Chinese nationals
Five Chinese nationals were confronted by a Utah National Guard sergeant major after midnight. They were at Camp Grayling where thousands of servicemembers were conducting summer training. The Chinese nationals told the sergeant major that they were “press” and then they proceeded to collect their belongings to depart. These individuals subsequently lied about this event […]
