China Thread

You can get videos on youtube showing how to land on a ACC. Not exactly top secret information.

You can read and see videos on how to do a lot of things ... like riding a bicycle or play a musical instrument, but often many of those are best learned from someone who knows what he/she is doing. Learning to ride a bicycle may just involve some bumps and scrapes during the process; learning to land on a carrier is a lot less forgiving.
 
I'm quasi defending the guy. He's not charged with treason or espionage and per his statement he reported and filed his taxes so why are they going after him?

Not like they didnt know he was doing it..now that it is out in open.
Who knows with this **** admin

There's a whole lot the article didn't really cover like when he trained the Chines pilots in S Africa was he still a US citizen ... if not, where did he declare the income for tax purposes? Did he separate from the Marines or retire, and does that make a difference? We've had a lot of restrictions regarding S Africa over the years, did he cross the line there? Lots of questions and few answers. The Brits and now the Germans are going after their ex military pilots for the same thing, so the concept of teaching military training outside "accepted" bounds seems somewhat universally unacceptable. This particular article seems pretty much slanted against US prosecution, so I wouldn't look to it for real explanations or for the rest of the story. It seems they introduced a lot of ambiguities and avoided specifics on why he might have been in the wrong.

For example, he could have been considered to have crossed this line in US law:

Under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, it is illegal to export from the United States a wide range of “defense articles” (military technology and technical data) or provide “defense services,” such as conducting military training, on behalf (or for the benefit) of any foreign person or forces (“regular or irregular”) without a State Department export license. It is illegal to provide a defense service without a license “whether in the United States or abroad.”

Gen Charlie Brown may be competent, but he's unfit for the job because of his political views. The military is nothing unless it is about competency rather than race, sex, or other societal characteristics. This thing of position stuffing having nothing to do with job qualifications that's afflicting the country needs to end PDQ or there will be no country left for the misfits to run.

First Photos of Chinese-Run Lab in California experimenting with dangerous viruses and Engineering Mice

These are the shocking photos taken by investigators during the bust of an illegal biolab in a sleepy California town.

Local and federal officials discovered a lab of horrors with suspicious links to China when they raided the unassuming warehouse in Reedley - home to just over 25,000 residents - in March.

Photos obtained by DailyMail.com via court documents show dead mice stuffed in storage bins haphazardly shoved on shelves and freezers filled to the brim with bottles of blood and plasma of origins unknown.

The images also show stacks of boxes containing dangerous pathogens, including one labeled ‘malaria’ that had Chinese etched on it. Other infectious agents discovered during the bust include Covid-19, tuberculosis, HIV, herpes, and dengue fever.

Nearly 1,000 mistreated and malnourished white lab mice were discovered at the facility in subpar conditions. About 200 of them were already dead. The rest have been humanely euthanized by a veterinarian

Among hundreds of vials of infectious viruses and bacteria, many of which were stored improperly in shoddy freezers, were samples of malaria, shown here, alongside Chinese characters. Other infectious agents found included strains of the herpes virus, the bacterium that causes meningitis, chlamydia, Covid-19, and HIV

The mice were confined to a poorly ventilated room hardly larger than a closet under constant bright lights shown in the above photo. Court documents also say they lacked adequate food and water

Several of the 32 freezers containing biological materials and dangerous pathogens that were found were malfunctioning, as power had been cut to the building

I'd like to know what US laws he broke especially if he is no longer a US citizen. Sounds fishy to me.
I’d like to hear more too.

But if a primary part of his defense is that these were merely “test pilots” from China? Then consider me skeptical.

DEI has absolutely no place in the US Military.

The nine dash line from the movie?
yeah, whatever was offensive in the movie. seems like it would be pretty easy to point out.

I just never want to jump to being offended or mad about something without first knowing what the offensive matter was.

Well to be clear, I’m not offended. American audiences are not offended, either.

It’s Vietnam, and other SE Asia countries that are rustled.

Most people wouldn’t be able to tell you what the nine dash line is, or point it out on a map.

The Barbie nine dash is incredibly innocuous (and only has 8 dashes lol), but it’s there, and the SEA nations definitely saw it and took offense.
 
Here’s the actual scene.

Just shake my head over this lol. Like what was the point of adding that? What were the Barbie folks looking to achieve? I don’t get it.
