In the event that China kicks the crap out of the 5eyes, as prophecies by lots of crazy preachers and visonaries, I am making sure I replace my Iphone with a Huawei or any Chinese phone I can get my damn hands on. Although, I highly doubt it would happen, well I can dream but really nothing in the next couple of years is going to stop China from rising any how so the moment a decent Chinese phone makes it to where I live, I will take the chance to make sure I don't get connected to this bullshit and make sure to have a vpn as well. For all the wests fears out China taking control of the world, it certainly is starting to feel like to me that China is the one doing the freeing of the world from western control that is spiralling out of control

There was no GPS signal in the South China Sea overnight. What happened and how much impact did it have on the US military? (2021/08/08)
China made a move in the South China Sea, and GPS signals in the South China Sea had no GPS signal. The US aircraft carrier suddenly lost its way. The Pentagon could only do it in a hurry. According to reports, the satellite signal receiving equipment of a large number of offshore buoys in the South China Sea will all be replaced with signals from the Beidou navigation system, which shocked foreign countries, especially the United States. China finally shot? There was no GPS signal in the South China Sea overnight. The U.S. military hurriedly ordered all aircraft carriers to withdraw. The GPS signal in the South China Sea disappeared overnight. What was going on and how much impact did it have on the U.S. military?
No wonder the Pentagon and US anti-China politicians are anxious. As long as the US aircraft carrier enters the South China Sea, their every move will be recorded by the Beidou navigation satellite, and the data will be transmitted to the server, so that China knows all about the actions of the US Navy. This is more conducive to defending the South China Sea and the security of the South China Sea, and at the same time it can curb the war ambitions of the United States and other countries. Perhaps this is also a factor in the US aircraft carrier's departure from the South China Sea. If the U.S. aircraft carrier does not use Beidou navigation and positioning, the U.S. aircraft carrier will lose its way in the South China Sea, or even run around with its head.
Does any one have further info on this incident? It seems this website has machine translated article from Chinese source.

I don't really know, I have given up on privacy and just assume my digital life is a openbook. The only thing they can use against me is my browser history, well who care it's not that much different then most late 20s males
People say use the signal app etc but if I'm not mistaken it's was also financed by western ngo so I just assume it's already compromised.
I have to use Facebook messenger to keep in contact with family in the Philippines and WhatsApp for contact with friends.
At the moment I'm using a huawei P40 pro without Google play services, use aurora store to get some android apps that work without Google stuff that aren't on huawei app gallery.
China's brands of smartphone is an excellent buy, just choose one's flavor based on needs and pocket! In smartphone era, I have been on Meizu (my first modest smartphone). Huawei for my primary smartphone, Xiaomi for the secondary phone then replaced by Realme. I have been thinking to replace my outdated P-series Huawei with the latest or second latest one, perhaps Mate 40 Pro / 50 Pro or P-40 Pro series, in particular since I own a Huawei MateBook acquired last year. The MateBook and Huawei's smartphones (not all models but all high-ends will do) can communicate directly and exchange files.
Btw I only buy smartphone of China's brands, and Huawei is still the preferred one amidst all the huge Great Satan's hammering on this company.
Just maintain some consistency to back up my words and stance with my wallet! After all they are still excellent buy, even at parity or slightly lesser, I will still buy China's brands. No one can beat the whole price + quality mix of China's brands. No Apple. No South Korean makers!

This is very interesting, I may or may not believe the state ment of a certain preacher (and often I really dont) but she did mention that China and Russia will have many weapon capabilities that far exheed what ever the western powers have to offer and that anything that the USA has, has already been accounted for.
All that I am interested in is how this will all go down as the USA has tried to play tough on China just now, only to be countered like this. I wonder what else is in store
Well, we know for a fact on two major fronts that China does exceed the US in the military and that is hypersonic missiles and railgun technology. There were others but I don't remember and these are just military strictly speaking as if you were to bring up the civilian sector then China has got America beat in a whole lot more and the gap is increasing per year.
China Says It's Closing in on Thorium Nuclear Reactor With prototype reportedly firing up in September, country teases commercial thorium power by 2030
By PRACHI PATEL, 04 AUGUST 2021
There is no denying the need for nuclear power in a world that hungers for clean, carbon-free energy. At the same time, there's a need for safer technologies that bear less proliferation risk. Molten salt nuclear reactors (MSRs) fit the bill—and, according to at least one source, China may be well on their way to developing MSR technology.
Government researchers there unveiled a design for a commercial molten salt reactor (MSR) that uses thorium as fuel, the South China Morning Post reported recently. A prototype reactor, the paper said, should be ready this month for tests starting in September. Construction of the first commercial reactor being built in the Gansu province should be complete, they noted, by 2030.
If all goes well with the prototype, says a report in Live Science, the Chinese government plans to build several large MSRs. According to the World Nuclear Association, the country is eyeing thorium MSRs as a source of energy especially for the northwestern portion of the country, which has lower population density and an arid climate.
MSRs are attractive for arid regions because instead of the water used by conventional uranium reactors, MSRs use molten fluoride salts to cool their cores. Uranium or thorium fuel can be mixed into the coolant salt. Thorium MSRs have the advantage of being more abundant and cheaper.
China's experimental reactor won't be the world's first. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) pioneered thorium-based MSRs in the 1950s for nuclear aircraft propulsion as part of the Manhattan Project. A 7.4 MW thorium experimental reactor operated at the laboratory over a period of four years — although only a portion of its fuel was derived from uranium-233 bred from thorium in other reactors. This MSR technology was eventually shelved because the Pentagon favored the uranium fast breeder reactor, says Charles Forsberg, Principal Research Scientist at MIT's department of Nuclear Science and Engineering and former nuclear researcher at ORNL.
Scientists in China are now building on the same basic MSR technology developed at ORNL. The Chinese government had a small, short-lived knowledge exchange program with ORNL. But most of the thorium reactor-related intellectual property from ORNL is in the public domain, and China appears to have made some use of it. "The real data mine is the thousands of published reports in 1960s and '70s that are found in the open literature," Forsberg says.
Plus, recent technology developments have made it more feasible to build MSRs, he adds. This includes modern instrumentation that can unveil exactly what goes on in the reactor — but also includes equipment that finds parallel use, such as high-temperature salt pumps used in today's concentrated solar power plants that store heat via molten salts.
"So now if you want to build a salt pump for a MSR you go talk to your local friendly CSP pump suppliers for a slightly different salt composition," Forsberg says. "That makes a tremendous difference in your development program. You have fifty years' worth of new technology to tap into."
But even though France, India, Japan, Norway, and the U.S. are all reportedly working on thorium nuclear reactors, none of these countries have outlined plans for commercial reactors yet. A handful of private sector developers are working hard to deploy MSRs within the next decade. The closest is probably Alameda, California-based Kairos Power, which plans to have a 50 MW demonstration reactor operational in Oak Ridge, Tennessee by 2026.
Yet China leads global MSR research, according to the World Nuclear Association, and it's no surprise that the country is forging ahead faster, Forsberg says. The country's talent pool in nuclear engineering, he says, is quite substantial. "You put a lot of talented people on a project, and it works," he says. "They'll be successful even if it takes them a while."

According to Kairos Power's technology web page [2], the Kairos Power reactor is not an MSR in the same sense as the original ORNL Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE). The MSRE reactor used a molten fluoride salt as both coolant and fissile fuel, whereas the Kairos Power reactor uses molten fluoride salt strictly as a coolant. The Kairos reactor fuel is a high-temperature solid ceramic made of Tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) granules containing uranium oxide fuel.
Significantly, neither the historic ORNL MSRE reactor nor the proposed Kairos reactor use Thorium as fuel, which appears to be the chief breakthrough of China's MSR design. I suspect that China's MSR design may be less constrained by regulatory agencies than MSR designs from other nations, which are strictly forbidden from use of design features that might conceivably be exploited for weapons proliferation purposes.
The primary example of such a feature is continuous online chemical separation of the fertile isotope Pa233 as an intermediate by-product of breeding fertile Th232 into fissile U233. The continuous online separation of Pa233 is said to be necessary in order to prevent accumulated Pa233 from absorbing so many free neutrons that the ongoing U233 fission chain reaction [presumably thermal] grinds to a halt while waiting for the Pa233 to beta-decay into fissile U233. [3].
If breeder-generated Pa233 were separated, diverted, and removed from the reactor, the eventual result would be ready-made weapons-grade U233. China may have a unique reactor security regimen that protects this material from clandestine diversion or they may simply choose to ignore it. Or their technology may have an undisclosed feature that solves the Thorium breeding problem without creating a weapons proliferation problem. Etc.

At this point in time, the Western-centric mentality is essentially hopeless.
The belief that this is still the 1960's or 1980's, or even 100 years ago, does not do anything.
That does not push the west forward internally. It solves nothing externally.
But it is even worst than that.
Internally, half the population may not even be buying what they are selling, with this "woke-culture," which seems like an attempt to destabilize society.
Externally, the rest of the world just does not need the west like people think they do. Oil, commodities, large markets, advanced tech, infrastructure building, some country somewhere knows there are choices now of where to get that stuff.
It is like that Alcoholic Anonymous, where the first step is to admit the bum has a problem.
But it is not exactly the same. The west can admit that China and the developing world can offer a lot.
The west cannot admit that they will still be the leaders.
Based on what?
So it seems to me, the west continues its slide downwards relative to China, and cannot do anything about it because they are incapable of change, they must approach the problem differently but they cannot. They cannot admit to what the real problem is, whatever it is.
Just like the alcoholic who sinks further into their alcoholism.
The west just seems sinking in its malaise and illusions of grandeur.
The UK sent a fleet half way around the world, and nobody really cared.
Trumptards are having a hard time coping with their loss
Don’t waste too much time watching this shit! I would never have seen this if you hadn’t posted it! Truth-be-told, Charlatans (mostly “Christian”) have a long history of exploiting suckers in America!
