China makes contact with aliens
The Biden Administration is failing on China
And Xi Jinping issues new orders to the military
That and more on this week’s China news headlines

So today we’re apparently calling occupants of interplanetary craft.
China says it may have detected signals from alien civilizations.
Amazing!
I wonder what story they’re trying to bury by talking about aliens.
Social unrest because of Covid lockdowns?
Political infighting at the highest levels of the Communist Party?
This picture of Xi Jinping with a mustache?
The artist who made this picture was arrested, so Xi must not be a fan.
It’d be terrible if everyone saw this pic of him with a mustache instead of getting
duped by this alien story.
China says its giant Sky Eye satellite, the largest radio satellite in the world,
may have found “several cases of possible technological traces and extraterrestrial
civilizations from outside the earth”.
That’s according to the Science and Technology Daily, the official newspaper of the Ministry
of Science and Technology.
Which for some reason, deleted the story after it went viral on the Chinese internet.
What are they trying to hide?!
Oh right.
Gee, I wonder why aliens don’t want to make contact with us.
But according to cosmologist Zhang Tongjie, once dubbed ‘China's top alien hunter,’
“The possibility that the suspicious signal is some kind of radio interference is also
very high, and it needs to be further confirmed and ruled out.
This may be a long process.”
If there really were aliens, I’m sure Xi would try broadcasting signals to them.
Like music, poetry, or art.
Not that art.
And if you’ve ever read the Three Body Problem, you know you really don’t want China to
be the ones to make contact with the aliens.
They may have the time for this long process, because the Biden Administration is totally
blowing it on China.
More after the break.

The Chinese Communist Party is engaged in genocide and becoming increasingly hostile
to the United States.
But we wouldn’t change them for the world.
That literally is the Biden Administration’s China Policy.
After a year and a half, the Biden Administration finally unveiled its China policy.
Kind of a long wait for something so important.
And Secretary of State Antony Blinken had this to say.
We are not looking for conflict or a new Cold War.
To the contrary, we’re determined to avoid both.
We don’t seek to block China from its role as a major power, nor to stop China – or
any other country, for that matter – from growing their economy or advancing the interests
of their people.
Yes, why would we want to block China from its stated goal of spreading international
communism and undermining the US?
And on top of that, the Biden administration waited a year and a half just to announce
they weren’t going to challenge China.
This is like saying you’ll take care of the termites in your house, then 18 months
later saying,
“We’ve decided we don’t want conflict with the termites.”
And now, all the US corporate interests that have been desperate to get back to doing business
with China are coming out in full force.
Bloomberg news, owned by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, says we need to engage with China.
The Washington Post, owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos, says it's time to lift Trump’s
China tariffs.
The New York Times, owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, says China doesn’t have to
be our next great enemy.
And now the White House says it's discussing “irresponsible” tariffs imposed by Trump.
Yes, those tariffs are harming the interests of the American worker.
The American worker who has been complaining for decades about jobs being shipped to China,
while they steal American intellectual property and run us out of business—because without
tariffs, China had been dumping cheap goods on America.
According to insiders speaking to Axios, “With inflation at a 40-year high of 8.6%, Biden
and his top officials are desperate to show action on bringing down prices, even if it
makes them appear weak on China.”
But you know who doesn’t like that idea?
All the labor unions.
But there are definitely warning signs the Biden Administration is going soft on China.
The US Ambassador to China has been on a tweeting campaign talking about how great China is.
“The Forbidden City is such a cultural, architectural and historical jewel!
The CCP has done such a great job preserving this extraordinary site.”
Of course the CCP has done a less than extraordinary job preserving the memory of all the students
they massacred there in 1989.
Chinese history books have more holes in them than Mr. “I don’t want conflict with termites”’s
walls.
The Ambassador also tweeted about how impressive China's high speed rails are.
On his way to Wuhan.
Yes, nothing like riding in the comfort of stolen technology on the way to where the
Chinese regime covered up the coronavirus pandemic!
The only thing missing is a nice, refreshing glass of Muslim Uyghur tears to wash away
the bitter aftertaste of swallowing your pride.
And coming up after the break, Xi Jinping tells the Chinese military to prepare for…not
war.
Welcome back.
The Chinese Communist Party is conducting the largest military buildup the world has
seen in decades.
And Chinese leader Xi Jinping is telling them to be prepared to move—for world peace!
It was announced with this rather banal headline, Xi signs order to promulgate outlines on military
operations other than war.
Rolls off the tongue doesn’t it?
I can’t tell if he’s giving orders or trying to win
in Scrabble.
So what non-war operations will the CCP’s military be getting up to?
Why world peace!
The CCP’s military will also “safeguard national sovereignty, security and development
interest, and…regional stability”.
Now China having orders on non-military activities isn’t new by itself.
But the timing of this is interesting.
It’s almost like, as the Chinese military moves to protect world peace and national
sovereignty, it’s going to be gearing up to take control of the entire South China
Sea, which China claims belongs to it.
And Taiwan, which China also claims belongs to it.
As Chinese state-run media says, this will “serve as a legal base for military operations
other than war”.
In other words, China is preparing for war, but also preparing to say that it’s not
war.
It’s not a military invasion of the independent democracy of Taiwan, it’s just safeguarding
national sovereignty.
Totally different, and most importantly, doesn’t violate any international laws or norms.
Or, in other, other words: “The world will know peace… as soon as we take everything
by force and nobody ruins it by fighting back.
And if you try to defend yourself, *you* are the one ruining world peace.”
A massive protest was planned for this coming Monday in China.
Billions of dollars are on the line in what’s being called one of China’s largest financial
scandals.
A private investment firm “colluded with bank employees to illicitly attract public
funds via online platforms”.
And now the banks, located in Henan Province, aren’t letting people access their savings.
A huge protest happened back in May.
And the Communist Party took action.
This time, ahead of Monday’s protest, they turned everyone’s Covid health codes red.
“Anyone with a red code…immediately becomes persona non grata.
They are banned from all public venues and transport, and are often subject to weeks
of government quarantine.
And you can’t have a mass protest if you’re stuck in quarantine!
Now I have spoken a lot about Hong Kong during mass protests.
We’ve visited the city several times during mass protests.
But apparently I got something wrong.
Many people are under the mistaken notion that Hong Kong used to be a British colony.
Turns out that’s not true!
According to brand new state approved textbooks in Hong Kong.
They’ve been rewritten to say Hong Kong was never a British colony.
Move over Lord of the Rings, my new favorite fantasy novels are Chinese history books.
The Chinese Communist Party—rewriting history like it’s 1984.
It’s part of a broader push in Hong Kong to remove books that, quote, endanger national
security.
I’m no historian, but if “truth” endangers your nation…
you’ve got yourself a pretty unstable nation.
Truly, young people are the future.
Which is why besides changing textbooks in Hong Kong, the Communist Party has started
installing police officers as vice principals across China.
One of their duties will be “handing out punishment for students who seriously misbehave”.
Oh come on.
The Communist Party already knows how to hand out punishment to students who misbehave.
This went into effect at the beginning of May.
I can’t wait to see the results.
Good news!
Lockdowns are ending in China.
The Shanghai lockdowns are officially over, except for all of the millions of people still
in lockdown.
Turns out their lockdowns are like their wars.
“No, no, no.
This isn’t a lockdown.
We’re just requiring you to stay in your home so we don’t have to lock you down!”
And Beijing residents partied after dodging their Covid lockdown.
Which caused an outbreak, prompting new lockdowns.
Mass testing of millions in Beijing is now underway.
By some estimates, China will have conducted almost 11 billion Covid tests between April
and the end of June.
All for the low low cost of just…26 billion dollars.

When the debt bubble bursts, it will be huge.
Hopefully whenever the economy recovers, they’ll be able to throw a massive party in Beijing…
just not so massive it puts them right back into debt.
Now I know I’ve covered a lot of pretty heavy, serious topics.
But I wouldn’t want you to think the world is full of gloom and doom and that there can
be no international cooperation.
That’s just not true.
Russia and China are building bridges!
Literally and figuratively.
I’m glad at least the authoritarian countries can stick together.
Hopefully this union will be as strong as
the rest of China’s bridges.
And now, as a thank you to the China Uncensored 50 Cent Army, I’ll answer one of their questions.
Today’s question comes from Isolated Thinker on Locals.
What are the 5 Best Taiwan 7-Eleven Goodies.
Ahh, now that’s a question that brings me back to the last time I was in Taiwan.
7-11’s there are magical.
Truly a bonanza of treats.
Not like the ones in the US.
What are my top 5 favorite goodies?
How about 12?
Shelley and I actually did a review together of 12 things we bought at a Taipei 7-11.
The watermelon milk was to die for, I’ll put a link to that below.
It’s one of our lowest performing episodes!
