China may be diplomatically obnoxious, but nobody’s ever called modern China “brain-dead stupid”. The point here is that this risk couldn’t possibly have escaped even the most mediocre military intelligence. Viruses in particular were singled out as unstable and uncontrollable. Another consideration was the likelihood of escalation of bioweapons into a mutual destruction scenario.
The general agreement was that the weapons couldn’t be controlled, and the stocks were supposedly destroyed. During the Cold War, America and Russia had large stocks of bioweapons. Is this real logic? Doesn’t look like it.īioweapons, particularly viruses, are by definition very high risk, and that includes risks to those using them. This truly off-the-scale bit of idiocy could only rebound against China, and severely. One of the supposed stated reasons is “economic warfare”. Why would a country which is so newly prosperous and, politics aside, doing good business, have any interest in this sort of weapon? If this document is genuine, and it has been verified as such, it’s a hideous reflection on the state of China’s mindset. The paper points out these viruses could be “…artificially manipulated and unleashed in a way never seen before.” SARS viruses, of which COVID is one, were described as new genetic weapons. According to this document, the discussion was of a possible World War 3 scenario in which bioweapons are used freely. The news coming out of a leaked Chinese document dated 2015 isn’t at all impressive. If that’s the case, it’s a sign of unbelievable idiocy. Yet.ĭid China commit an act of war? There’s a lot of information coming out, not yet confirmed, which points to a discussion of developing bioweapons by the Chinese military. Su said: "This is why countries that believe in freedom, democracy and human rights, and based on shared values, are all working together and have repeatedly warned that China should not invade Taiwan."īut despite Chinese warnings it has been warned Beijing faces its own Vietnam if it attempts to invade Taiwan.China may be diplmatically obnoxious, but nobody’s ever called modern China “brain-dead stupid”.
Taiwan's leader Su Tseng-chang, meanwhile, blamed China for inflaming tensions and accused it of "flexing its muscles". He struck a more measured tone than his previous pledges to "smash" any attempts by Taiwan to win independence by using forces. "The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and will definitely be fulfilled." "No one should underestimate the Chinese people’s staunch determination, firm will, and strong ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Xi went on: "Reunification through a peaceful manner is the most in line with the overall interest of the Chinese nation, including Taiwan compatriots. He said: "Taiwan’s independence separatism is the biggest obstacle to achieving the reunification of the motherland, and the most serious hidden danger to national rejuvenation." Speaking at Beijing’s Great Hall of the People on Saturday, Xi said the China had a “glorious tradition” of defeating anyone it perceives as "separatists". The editorial also argued that the US presence will "accelerate" China's potential military action against Taiwan as it only "reinforce the mainland's resolve to realize reunification by force".Ĭhina's president Xi however meanwhile vowed to ensure "reunification" with Taiwan - but omitted mentioning a use of force. President Xi's editorial described a military attack on Taiwan as an "increasingly realistic option". "We must make Washington understand that it is playing a dangerous game that is destined to draw fire onto itself and it is risking the lives of young US soldiers." "We must let them know they are playing with fire to provoke a war and the consequences their acts will bring are unbearable to both the US and Taiwan," Get all the latest news sent to your inbox.
