Eeewww!\u00a0 This is another look at China, and how it may not be the threat we sometimes perceive.<\/p>\n

Let me just drop some real history on you: real innovation in China came to an end with the end of the K\u2019ang Tsi dynasty. At that time, porcelain produced during the K\u2019ang Tsi reign was so well-made and so durable that it was sought after by European traders for their wealthy clients. The remains of shipments of that porcelain have been found at the sites of Spanish cargo ships that foundered in a Caribbean hurricane and sank with all hands and cargo on board In the Gulf of Mexico, where they\u2019d stopped to take on gold shipments to Spain.<\/p>\n

When the Regency Period rolled around, and George III spent time babbling to himself in a mental hospital while the Prince Consort (William) took the reins of rulership, it was considered even more valuable as a prestigious antique, and was eagerly sought after by the rising middle class in England\u2019s early 19th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n

By the time the British Crown had begun to release its hold on that part of the world, the Chinese imperial government was mostly on its way out. When Mao Tse-Tung got into his land war with Chiang Kai-Shek and chased him off the mainland to Taiwan at the end of WWII, the damage to innovation in the Chinese people had long been squelched into a nonexistent state. It was all about pleasing Mao. The Great Famine, which was caused by a prolonged drought, did enough damage to the population in general on its own, so that by the time it was over and Mao was seated firmly on his pedestal, the Great Leap Forward had become the Great Leap Backward.<\/p>\n

The Chinese people have not had anything creative come out of them in nearly a century now. All the \u201cinnovations\u201d they have are stolen from US companies that send materials and plans to them to be manufactured into high-priced stuff for sale here in the USA. Best example is the Apple iPhone, (plus whatever follows it now), which costs probably $25 to produce and goes for $3,000 to $5,000, or whatever the current price is.<\/p>\n

Several weeks ago, I posted an article about six Chinese nationals at the NIH who had been sent packing back to China, and who were here for the purpose of getting info on how to make the COVID-19 vaccines. This is not something new: the Soviets had spies here in the USA during and after World War II. The only reason that the Soviets were able to do their own nuclear testing was because of that little project at the University of Chicago under the Alonso Stagg stadium, where a nuclear chain reaction finally came into existence. One of the physicists wo worked on that was a Nazi spy funneling everything to Hitler\u2019s physicists. And the Soviet army confiscated all of that, took it home to Moscow\u2019s scientists, who started working on it immediately, once the War was over. Yes, Hitler\u2019s physicists had been working on it in Austria; the remains of a heavy water generator were found after the war was over.<\/p>\n

We had Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, a really prime pair of people who funneled classified info to the Soviets after WWII, based on \u201cprinciples\u201d, and more recently, the Walker family who did it for the sole sake of cash.<\/p>\n

Without this theft of what is best described as private or intellectual property, neither the Soviets nor the Chinese could have been very successful with a nukes program. Look how long it took Fatty Kim da T\u2019ird to get one that did work. And he nearly blew the lid off the mountain where that last nuke test took place. He hasn’t done anything like that lately; I wonder if he spooked himself.<\/p>\n

The gist of the linked article is that without the innovations that are unintentionally supplied to the Chinese, they will stagnate and if there is a real war, they will be unable to return to their current level<\/em>. The author indicates that a real war will \u2013 not would<\/em> \u2013 result in a real loss of control of the populace and China, as a nation will sink back into the entropy<\/em> that existed under Chairman Mao.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
