An ex White House staffer proposed US military attacks on China to prevent it from developing advanced AI tech.
This warmongering insanity is bipartisan in Washington.
It's not just Trump/Rubio/Hegseth. This is a neoconservative Democrat who worked for Biden in the Obama admin.
THE U.S. MUST be prepared to BOMB China’s AI development centers, a new US security report says.
But first, America can try stealing their work. “Prepare to reverse engineer or steal AGI technology if China gets it first,” says the report from the Centre for a New American Security.
If that doesn’t work, cyberattacks or just raining missiles down is an option to be considered, the report says.

CHINESE MUST BE STOPPED
Chinese are good at AI so must be stopped from getting to the next level, which is AGI, artificial general intelligence, the report warns.
The US should “conduct a scenario exercise to test when and how the United States might intervene to stop China from developing AGI”, said the report, written by Jacob Stokes.
“The final option would be the most dangerous and carry the most escalation risk: kinetic attacks, meaning destroying things with missiles and bombs. Bombing would cross a major threshold that heretofore has not been crossed in U.S.-China relations,” he writes.
That’s rather an understatement.
“Howdy, guys, we decided to make a bit of an adjustment to U.S.-China relations by attacking your country with missiles and bombs. That’s the way we roll!”
I am not making this up. I’ll give you a link to the document.
Peace.
Beijing’s unjust prosecution of Joshua Wong is an appalling abuse of power.
Everyone who truly cares about democracy should be proud to stand with him and the people of Hong Kong.
Advocacy for freedom is not a crime and the international community must immediately demand his release.
Enough is enough. Today I raised the case of Joshua Wong, prosecuted in Hong Kong under the draconian National Security Law simply for demanding the freedoms we take for granted in this country.
China has trashed the Sino-British Joint Declaration and dismantled Hong Kong’s freedoms.
I welcome the @Ed_Miliband@FCDOGovUK Foreign Secretary’s commitment to take up Joshua Wong’s case with the Chinese government. Britain must continue to speak out for those being persecuted for peacefully defending freedom and democracy.
THREE SHOCKING THINGS in today’s attack on China in the UK Guardian:
1. The Guardian quotes what it says is a Tibetan group. But it’s not Tibetan—we traced its real address.
2. The paper hides any mention of that group’s funding—a fact that makes all the difference.
3. The paper highlights a quote from a woman in the United States—a woman who doesn’t seem to exist
Actually, there’s a fourth thing: when you see the name of the journalist who wrote it, that in itself tells a story.
.
ADDRESS OF “TIBETAN GROUP”
First, the report in the Guardian: “China is concealing scale of flood disaster, say Tibet campaigners”, the headline says.
The article is based on a statement from what the paper says is “a Tibetan advocacy group”.
Except it isn’t a Tibetan advocacy group. It’s a group listed at this address. [see video]
Let’s take a look. Oh it’s in Washington DC, right near the White House. What a surprise.
.
A U.S. GOVT OP
Who funds it? When we go through funding documents we see an intimate, long-term relationship with the US government, and particularly the notorious National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA spin-off which the US government itself described as a body which works around the world to “destabilize sovereign governments” – that’s from the 2027 budget proposal.
I note that it is associated with Radio Free Asia, which has nothing to do with radios, freedom or Asia. It’s an anti-China propaganda unit also from Washington DC.
Now if the Guardian had the honesty to include these facts, it would immediately tell the reader the correct way to interpret this report.
So why are these facts hidden? Why is it that the Guardian doesn’t want its readers to know the truth?
.
WOMAN WITH NO FACE
The paper then quotes “Maya Wang” of Human Rights Watch.
Maya Wang does not appear to exist. There are no photographs of her, no videos, and she makes speeches in front of various audiences but does not seem to allow photography.
Why? Her former contacts in Hong Kong tell me she uses the fake name because she is really Yatman Kern, wife of the infamous yellowface hoaxer Brian Kern.
.
OPPORTUNITY
Now, I’ve made that point publicly several times, and no one from Human Rights Watch has ever denied it. It would be easy to do.
So this is ANOTHER opportunity. If a person genuinely named Maya Wang works at HRW, please tell me. I am all ears.
Brian Kern became infamous when he pretended to be a Hong Kong-born Chinese and gave quotes to all the western mainstream media speaking on behalf of the Hong Kong people during the riots of 2019.
He was exposed as a white guy in yellowface by this reporter and the Grayzone. Here’s a headline: “Western Media's Fav Hong Kong 'Freedom Struggle Writer' is American ex amnesty staffer in yellowface.”
.
FOREIGN JOURNALISTS
The UK paper says foreign journalists are refused entry visas by the Chinese. Well, big deal. Chinese journalists are refused entry visas by the UK—that happens regularly. Why doesn’t the reporter cover that topic?
Let’s look at the reporter: Danny Vincent of Hong Kong. He’s been in the news in Hong Kong recently. That’s because he’s associated with the leadership of the Hong Kong Journalists Association.
That group used to represent Hong Kong Journalists, but is now seen as a group allied to western bodies hostile to China.
Too many international journalists produce work that OMITS KEY INFORMATION, misleading their readers.
This is the perfect example – it should be used in journalism schools.
Don’t be fooled. The truth matters.
Peace.
*CHINA OBJECTED TO G20 STATEMENT ON STRAIT OF HORMUZ: TREASURY
*CHINA OBJECTS TO G20 STATEMENT ON DEBT SUSTAINABILITY: TREASURY
*CHINA OBJECTED TO G20 STATEMENT ON NON-MKT ECONOMIES: TREASURY
BREAKING: China directly rejects the G20 statement on the Strait of Hormuz, refusing to sign Bessent's paragraph expressing concern over continuing shipping disruptions and calling for free, safe, and predictable navigation through the waterway, per Treasury.
China was the sole holdout. All the other 19 G20 members signed the statement. China also rejects Bessent's separate claims that "China agrees that there has to be free maritime trade in the Strait of Hormuz" and that "China gets 50% of its energy from the Gulf."
Another reason for the rejection was concerns that Bessent's wording could later be used for the Taiwan Strait and South China Sea.
Netanyahu on Israel:
"This is the nation-state of the Jewish people. Others have rights, but first and foremost, this is our nation-state"
This is the most honest statement Netanyahu has ever made.
He's saying: Israel is a Jewish state - and everyone else is second-class
Germany’s Chancellor Merz on Israel:
Israel is the only democracy in the entire Middle East.
The existence of the State of Israel is non-negotiable for us, for the Federal Republic of Germany.
The right of the State of Israel to exist — as long as I hold political responsibility, we will always support that militarily as well, because otherwise this state would no longer exist today.
Yes, but will the Trump administration allow China’s cars to travel and surveil our roads? Remember, Canada this year is allowing in 49,000 Chinese EVs—“rolling spy machines”—at substantially reduced tariff rates. They’re coming here unless we stop them at the border.
HOST: Will Russia use nuclear weapons?
STUBB: No.
HOST: Why are you so sure about that?
STUBB: For instance, I had Foreign Minister of China visiting me this summer. I raised this issue, and he said, “We will never allow it to happen.” I think, that’s a pretty good deterrent.
