Financial Times: Senior Nato officer warns of China’s ‘shocking’ military advances
Stuart Peach points to array of security challenges as well as growing diplomatic presence overseas
Nato’s most senior military officer has highlighted the “shocking” speed of China’s military modernisation and warned of its growing diplomatic presence overseas, as the alliance prepares to take a more assertive stance towards Beijing.
The comments from air chief marshal Sir Stuart Peach highlight the broad array of security challenges posed by China as members of the alliance struggle to progress beyond a diagnosis of the threat to an agreed plan of action.
“It is quite shocking how quickly China has built ships, how much China has modernized its air force, how much it has invested in cyber and other forms of information management, not least facial recognition,” said Peach — who is stepping down on Friday after three years as head of Nato’s military committee — in an interview with the Financial Times before his departure.
“I think it’s very important to keep an eye on that. What do you do if you’re a leader in China with a modernised powerful large force? You deploy it, you move it around,” he said, adding that there is “further work required” among Nato’s 30 member states in deciding what China’s military ambitions mean for the alliance.

They definitely appear to be in overdrive. I suspect a factor is an ability to break into other nations documents. innocent chinese foreign students, anyone?
China and Russia appear to be the most powerful countries in earth now. Obviously they need to be confronted in certain areas. When doing so, an understanding of geopolitical realities is vital.
They have several advantages
1) centralisation combined with capitalism, it's an interesting model. Very efficient, very brutal to the people in its way (they often just dictate the resettlement of sometimes millions of people for a highway and they do it immediately, with I think typically no compensation for those affected
2) The Chinese have years ago declared war on the West and they mean it and they act as if we are at war. The West must wake up to this. Of course not all 1.5in of the Chinese are involved in this, but about 50mn are very aware and work and organise with speed as if they were under attack during a blitz bombardment. These 50mn are the core nationalists, CCP members, and a bunch of Han Chinese supremacists who want to subdue all other races (as they also subdue non Han Chinese in China), there's a sub cult but I forgot the name.. that's another crazy circle.. their religion is an ethnonational comprised and minded state party with no outsiders, no other races, no other son colours. Han Chinese only.
3) They understand capitalism better than most Americans from the psychological nature and the lack of morality or patriotism it holds within, ie a Capitalist will sell out your nation, even if he/she is of that nation. And the more money someone has the less they're typically associated or rooted with one country but think and act globally with their bottom line at heart.. so what if America or wherever is deteriorating, that multi millionaire or billionaire cares about which next island to live on, where to spend the winter etc.. they live often in several houses across states and sometimes in different countries...
4) they have infiltrated the West with over 80,000 active CCP members sitting in silicon valley, new York, Paris, Langley, Washington, Berlin, Frankfurt, both Cambridges, oxford, Milan, Rome.. they're highly distributed in Australia and new Zealand with God knows how many CCPs and agents there, my guess is easily 30,000 in all of APAC excluding China
They're absolutely outnumbering our field agents by 50:1.. it's a huge advantage and they'r outnumbering industrial spies (private and state) easily by 100:1, it's no match.. they're everywhere and the private ones are just as dangerous
5) the theft of IP, and other intellectual goods is then immediately a) applied in economy and sciences and b) the revenue it generates is partially invested in more operations, including theft and paying off influencers in media, politics etc..
6) they're much much better at psychological warfare on a crowd level. It started with the last Olympics they hosted. All the signalling was "we will overwhelm you"and "we are the future".. and they did this at the Olympics, an event of peace.. but the corporate media back then already complied and didn't question the aggressive nature of the show displayed.. guess what they'll do now... but the message is everywhere.. in the NBA, an American, lebron james betrays country and freedom and democracy to keep his gig in China.. get it? In Hollywood they know to promote woke to get money that comes from.. China via Warner media which long ago along with Disney decided China is their future.
Why slow down? US has the largest military budget.
7) they act absolutely ruthlessly.. if you oppose the CCP it's the equivalent as opposing Kim in North Korea. Your life will be horrible or even death is a common method. Your family might be sent to a concentration camp. Your family's name might end up for 3 generations on their social credit system as undesirable. They have organ harvesting prisons into which undesirable are sent, like real horror, true demonic stuff
8) they'r like Nazi Germany during the last couple of years of war preparation and they're motivated through a belief that the West and Japan unjustly held them back and that they long ago could have ruled the Earth. That belief, along with the ethno state/ racism drives their ambitions but also excuses anything they do.. if they steal from you, so what.. in their mind our war never ended, they're still pissed for the British opioid wars, they hate the West, they think they'r better, they hate the Japanese for their war.. they never forgive
9) as they operate as under war and as they see other non-Han Chinese as sub humans, with special hatred towards some ethnicities, they're ruthlessly conducting human experiments like the Nazis back then.. and they don't follow any international laws or standards, see Wuhan lab
10) using their thousand talents program and their confuscius institutes they've long promoted antiWest and pro China interests propaganda which you see everywhere from the news to politics and media and academics. Not just compromised people who are paid off, like likely the Biden's and Epstein, but also think tanks and high ranking people in science and academia they openly finance through Chinese stipends etc and their pockets are deep and filled with the previous theft in the trillions
11) they have an army of slave workers. No not all Chinese are slave workers, not even close.. in Shanghai you can earn today more than in NYC .. they have more billionaires now as well there.. same in Beijing and many other of their mega cities... but there's a number of estimated 10-50 million real slave workers that selected Chinese companies and public planning have access to.. they build anything from high tech parts to bridges, for scraps. With no regulation, no delays by oversight. You say go, they go. And they act, as I said, ruthlessly and if at war.
12) confidence. Their ruthless model works and works very well for their oligarchy and the first billion+ of the Chinese too.. they all saw their lives improve tremendously.. like the 1950s in the USA but more so.. they buy houses around the World.. They know that they can beat the West at capitalism and they love how it's going. Before the Wuhan outbreak, when Trump slapped China around in the trade war, there was actual panic in China as for the first time they saw hardship in the last 20 years. It was so bad that they talked about getting rid of Xi during an intense phase of 3 months in the summer of 2019. But hey in the winter of 2019 there was this sudden outbreak and since then it's even better in China with millionaires so abundant, there's a saying in China that is meant to insult you if you're not a millionaire by 30 yet ...
It's how the Chinese guarantee loyalty, through continues economic success. The summer of 2019 was a decision point and their decision was made under the context of war. That's why the Wuhan virus is a first strike weapon and our leaders sold us all out and made millions themselves.
The largest transfer of wealth in human history takes place from west to east and middle class to upper class. It's a global oligarchy that's betraying you based on a Chinese plan to take over the World and its going very well.
We must hang the traitors.
That much is clear.
We must hang the traitors.
That much is clear.
Democrats? Republicans?
antifa? proud boys?
Proud Boys have not blinded local and federal law enforcement with lasers night after night.
Antifa has.
There is a big difference between blinding and trespassing.
Prediction the Democrat Party will not be a round 20 years from now. People will not forgive the high energy prices, energy poverty, inflation, crime and all the rest.
Respectfully the proud boys have not killed anyone. Blm and Antifa have killed 30+, and put entire city blocks on fire.
From what you said I can tell you watch either CNN or MSNBC both are corporate media actors. They are not news. I understand you've been told Fox is not news. And they're only barely better. But neither of them tell you the truth of what's going on. For example.. fox also has lied about hydroxychloroquine, just like CNN and msnbc did. This lie has killed thousands and in all likelihood slowed down the opening of the economy. They lied because Fox, just like CNN and the others biggest income is from Ads paid for by big pharma. And on top, Murdock who still holds eight at Fox is heavily invested in big pharma. They all lie about where the virus came from too. They lied about the Russia hoax.
Listen, friend. This is a global theft and attack on the middle class. The West looks more and more like China because we realise the extent of the corruption and theft. SSL these lies, there've killed so many. Please.. this is way more important than proud boys or not, but it's another example of how we're being manipulated.
And those who do this, who manipulate the media to an extend it almost leads to civil war because you're starting to believe in the biggest lies , those people who manipulate the stock markets by telling the media to tell everyone to sell etc they are all the same who push the wars and drugs on you that make you sick
They're like demons. Their God is money. They're absolutely powerful and absolutely corrupt.. and the World is waking up to them, that's why the corporate media needed to collude with big tech to suppress crucial information on the Biden China corruption, and they did. The corporate media's business model shifted away from news and Ads to misinformation and Ads,.. it's a bit exaggerated, they stil report some facts and real news, but when they lie they do so for a price tag and it often comes in form of favors, for example Democrat AGs block many lawsuits against CNN, and CNN "journalists"remain hired and out of jail despite their year long and recorded history of sexual abuse, perversion and Drug Class-A use. That's the power of working at CNN and influencing people for the state party. And it is exactly what needs to stop before civil war breaks out due to the abhorrent lies and abuse half of your nation has to endure on both sides.. and keep in mind much of the division you believe or whatever you hate about your fellow man is a projection often financed by the powerful, including China
