The Daly Lama and China are about to clash
-
. The Chinese military uses lasers
-
on Germany's armed forces
-
. And is the US taking its farmland back from the CCP?
-
That more on this week's China news headlines.
-
Welcome to China Uncensored. I'm Chris Chapel
-
. This episode is sponsored by Incogn
-
. You probably know the companies
-
are collecting your personal data, but
-
you may not realize just how many.
-
Dozens, maybe hundreds. most of which
-
you've never heard of and you have no
-
idea what they're doing with it.
-
Incogn helped stop them.
-
I'll explain more at the end. Germany has accused China of
-
laser targeting a reconnaissance aircraft during an EU mission
-
. Every day we grow closer to living in Contra.
-
Quick, someone hit up, up, down, down,
-
left, right, left, right, B. A start.
-
At the time, Germany was partaking in an
-
EU freedom of navigation operation in
-
the Red Sea amid attacks by the
-
Iranbacked Houthies and was approaching a Chinese frigot
-
. Whether the plane was
-
targeted by a laser weapon or a laser
-
guidance system is unclear,
-
but this isn't the first time that China has done
-
this. Newsweek has put together a map of
-
all the places where China is accused of targeting rivals with lasers.
-
Wow. It's almost like China is run by a Marxist
-
Leninist state that wants to destroy the West
-
. Go figure. That's a message the EU might actually be getting
-
. EU chief Ursula Vanderlayan had plenty to say
-
about the CCP before a bilateral summit.
-
None of it good. Mainly, she complained
-
about China flooding the global market
-
with cheap goods to undercut competitors
-
. But she also said that
-
China is de facto enabling Russia's war economy
-
. We cannot accept this.
-
So, it seems the CCP has successfully burned
-
bridges to both the US and Europe, which
-
considering the quality of Chinese
-
construction, is about what I'd expect.
-
This transparent hostility is a big part
-
of the reason China's economy is still on life support
-
. Specifically, China's
-
manufacturing activity has contracted
-
for the third month in a row amid deflation woes
-
. This is devastating.
-
The real estate market, which once made up a
-
third of China's GDP, is gone.
-
There is no real high- tech sector.
-
Chinese people are desperately hoarding money
-
for fear of an impending collapse, so
-
they aren't spending it.
-
The CCP has no other plan for their economy other than
-
mass manufacturing and dumping the goods
-
on the global market. But as we just saw
-
with the EU, no one wants to buy all
-
that cheap Chinese crap.
-
So if manufacturing is contracting,
-
the CCP may be screwed.
-
But don't worry, the great meritocracy that is the CCP is
-
focused on what truly matters,
-
controlling the reincarnation of the Daly Lama.
-
The Daly Lama just turned 90.
-
So rather grimly, people have been
-
talking about what happens when he dies.
-
Traditionally, the number two position
-
in Tibetan Buddhism, the Panchchin
-
Llama, seeks out the reincarnation of
-
the Daly Lama as a small child.
-
But I kid you not, China has passed a law that
-
says you can't reincarnate without
-
government permission.
-
Obviously, the CCP's plan is to install
-
their own Daly Lama when the current one
-
dies because that will obviously make
-
the Tibetan people love them.
-
They're already well on their way.
-
Remember the Panchchin Llama I mentioned?
-
The one whose job it is to find the next Daly Lama?
-
In 1989, the Panchchin Lama died.
-
Years later, the Daly Lama recognized
-
this six-year-old boy as his reincarnation
-
, but the boy and his family disappeared just days later into Chinese custody
-
and haven't been heard from since
-
. The Chinese Communist Party
-
then chose its own panchchin llama who
-
was widely rejected by Tibetans.
-
You know, since a core tenant of Buddhism is
-
not kidnapping and possibly murdering
-
their spiritual leaders, it's kind of day one stuff
-
. And this new Panchchin
-
Lama even met with Xi Jinping last month
-
and pledged feelalty to the CCP.
-
So, what happens when the current Daly Lama dies?
-
Previously, he floated the idea
-
that he would be the final Daly Lama,
-
but apparently he changed his mind after
-
discussions with senior spiritual
-
leaders and appeals from the broader Tibetan public
-
. In a video played last
-
Wednesday during a prayer session, the
-
Dalai Lama said that the Gayen Fodang Trust
-
, which manages his affairs, will
-
be overseeing the search for his reincarnation
-
, which sounds like it'd make for an incredible reality show
-
. But I digress.
-
He also said that no one else has any such authority to interfere with
-
this matter, and so the CCP is
-
interfering with this matter.
-
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Ma Ning said that
-
Tibetan Buddhism was born in China and
-
is a faith with Chinese characteristics
-
and also that the reincarnation of the Daly Lama
-
, the Panchchin Lama and other great Buddhist figures
-
must be chosen by drawing lots from a golden urn
-
and approved by the central government.
-
So godless communists actually do want to
-
be involved with religion. .
-
Good to know Very likely this means in the next few
-
years we will have two Daly Lamas.
-
The good news is that in 2020 the US passed
-
the Tibetan Policy and Support Act which
-
will pursue international coalitions to
-
ensure that the next Daly Lama is
-
appointed solely by the Tibetan Buddhist Faith community
-
. Hopefully the CCP cares
-
enough about its bad economy and global
-
image to avoid repeating this kind of interference
-
. But I wouldn't count on it
-
since terrible, reckless decisions are
-
the number one thing that gets
-
reincarnated in the CCP. And after the break
-
, President Trump is trying to save
-
US farms from China.
-
Welcome back. According to a Daily
-
Caller exclusive story, US aid quietly
-
sent thousands of viruses to Chinese military linked biolabs
-
. Huh. Oh god.
-
This was part of a project called
-
Predict, a public health program funded
-
by USAD to the tune of $210 million steered by UC Davis
-
. The idea was to
-
collect viral samples from around the world
-
. But when funding dried up,
-
they found themselves without long-term storage facilities or plans
-
And we've seen how great China is at storing viruses
-
. In fact, field work was halted
-
in September 2019, just months before the pandemic began
-
. The program ended altogether in March 2020
-
the height of the pandemic lockdowns.
-
The Daily Caller obtained documents showing that over a
-
10-year period, thousands of viral
-
samples were sent to Chinese labs,
-
even though there was no formal agreement in place
-
. Included among these labs were
-
the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese
-
Academy of Sciences, the Centers for
-
Disease Control and Prevention of Guang Dong Province
-
, and the Wuhan Institute of Urology
-
. I have no more tears left.
-
The documents also show that USID paid
-
for 11,000 virus samples to be brought
-
from Eunan Province to Wuhan.
-
Eunan, by the way, is where we find some of CO 19's closest viral relatives
-
. And USID
-
sent them to where COVID came from. Wow.
-
And the cherry on top, there was no
-
apparent plan in place to ensure the
-
samples weren't used for boweapons,
-
something the CCP is actively pursuing.
-
I'd say we're living in idiocracy, but
-
no one in that movie was this stupid.
-
These internal documents were obtained
-
through a Freedom of Information Act
-
lawsuit brought by US right to know
-
which is a nonprofit newsroom and public health research group
-
. The Trump administration pulling USAD funding may
-
have gutted some useful programs, but I
-
think the hundreds of millions of
-
Americans who suffered from CO won't miss this program
-
. The Trump administration is moving decisively to
-
block China from weaponizing American farmland
-
. And even better, it looks like
-
this has some bipartisan support in Congress
-
. On Tuesday morning, the US
-
Department of Agriculture released its
-
National Farm Security Action Plan,
-
which includes legislative and executive
-
reforms such as banning Chinese
-
nationals from obtaining American farmland
-
and assessing who holds land near military bases
-
. This should have always been the law,
-
but hey, it's like they say,
-
the best time to stop being
-
stupid was yesterday, but the second best is today.
-
Four Chinese nationals, three men and a woman
-
, have been detained in Greece for photographing fighter jets
-
. Huh.
-
You know, I wonder if things like this could
-
be why it's a problem for Chinese
-
nationals to own farmland near US military bases
-
. But we're not done with Chinese espionage yet
-
. The US is seeking the extradition of a Chinese man held in
-
Italy accused of hacking to steal COVID 19 vaccine research
-
. The man shoots away
-
is accused of working for China's
-
Ministry of State Security or MSS to
-
target US-based universities,
-
immunologists, and bureologists
-
researching CO 19 back in 2020. That's
-
according to an indictment unsealed on
-
Tuesday by the US District Court for the
-
Southern District of Texas.
-
The indictment also accused another person,
-
Jang Yu, who is now in China, of helping
-
out, and I don't think the CCP will
-
extradite him to the US.
-
While the names of the universities went unnamed in the indictment
-
, the University of Texas
-
Medical Branch in Galveston admitted
-
that it was one of the victims, probably
-
as a reminder that this is what happens
-
when you mess with Texas.
-
The arrest is a major victory for the FBI because
-
while they frequently go after hackers
-
accused of working for foreign spy adversaries
-
, they rarely catch one from China
-
. But this is just the latest in a
-
long string of high-profile espionage cases involving China
-
. And it's part of
-
a growing trend of the world being fed
-
up with everything China's selling.
-
Now, I've got a video I want to show you that
-

. I'm talking name, phone number, social security number
-
, home address, and more.
-
When I signed up for Incogn 3 years ago,
-
I discovered there were dozens of data
-
brokers that potentially had my private
-
information without my permission.
-
This was terrifying. So, what did I do?
-
I've been getting as many of these companies
-
as possible to delete my data from their systems
-
. I did it using Incogn and you can, too
-
. Incogn's already gotten my
-
details removed from 653 of these data
-
brokers who've collected my info and I
-
didn't have to do anything after signing up
-
. Incogn just handles it.
-
