The CCP just gave us a real live trailer
-
for World War III.
-
It doesn't end well for America.
-
Welcome to China Uncensored. I'm Chris Chapel.
-
Let me just start off by saying YouTube is
-
definitely not going to like this episode
-
. In fact, lots of our episodes
-
get hidden by YouTube's restricted mode.
-
Check it out.
-
Here's our channel unrestricted.
-
And here it is on restricted mode.
-
Notice the difference.
-
Lots of episodes just disappear.
-
So, if you haven't already,
-
go up to your profile picture, click on it,
-
and go down to restricted mode.
-
Make sure that's turned off so YouTube will stop hiding
-
controversial topics from you.
-
And while you're at it,
-
be sure to subscribe because YouTube has a habit of
-
unsubscribing our viewers without telling them
-
. Or if this is all too much hassle
-
, you could just say screw YouTube entirely
-
and head over to our website, chinaunensored.tv.
-
There you can check out every episode
-
we post from all our shows as well as get exclusive deep dives
-
, live streams,
-
and the ability to talk with me and the team
-
. That's chinaunensored.tv.
-
So on September 3rd,
-
the Chinese Communist Party staged a massive military parade
-
to mark the 80th anniversary
-
of the end of World War II.
-
Officially, it was about celebrating victory over Japan
-
and unofficially
-
victory over Tianaan Square,
-
where nothing bad has ever happened.
-
But let's be real, this was about showing the world
-
the CCP's latest toys.
-
But these toys are deadly.
-
Actually, so are a lot of toys made in China
-
. But but the point is,
-
the CCP puts some of their biggest and deadliest weapons on display
-
. Let's start with the star of the show
-
, China's new unmanned fighter jets
-
. These aren't your average drones
-
. These are sixthg generation cooperative combat aircraft
-
. Fighter sized, highly maneuverable,
-
loaded with missiles, and designed to be controlled remotely
-
by J20 stealth fighters.
-
The strategy is a simple one.
-
One piloted J20 flies in front while three or four
-
unmanned fighters swoop in from the sides or the back
-
. It's basically the
-
Velociraptor strategy from Jurassic Park
-
. So yeah, if the US Air Force
-
scrambles fighters to defend Taiwan,
-
they might not just be facing Chinese pilots
-
. They could be facing an AI powered Raptor pack
-
. Of course, what's a parade without missiles
-
, not just any missiles, hypersonic missiles.
-
These things travel at least five times the speed of sound
-
, which makes them much,
-
much harder for missile defense systems
-
to detect and intercept,
-
which is the whole point.
-
The CCB also showed off the DF-61 and DF5C ICBMs.
-
Those are the ones that are launched so high
-
they go above the Earth's atmosphere
-
and rain down on another continent
-
. Plus, they had new anti-hship
-
hypersonics designed to take out US aircraft carriers
-
. That's right.
-
China built missiles specifically designed to kill
-
the most expensive things America owns.
-
America used to be untouchable in the Pacific
-
. Now, one missile launch from China
-
could destroy a$13 billion aircraft carrier
-
. And then there are tanks
-
, specifically China's new type 100 tank
-
. Think of it as the Tesla of tanks.
-
It's lighter than older models,
-
has an unmanned turret,
-
an active defense system, and even a hybrid diesel electric engine
-
. It'll kill you,
-
but at least it's eco-friendly.
-
This tank also comes with AI targeting,
-
able to pick out a soldier hiding in a window 20 stories up
-
. It's built for urban combat
-
, which might come in handy for, say
-
, an invasion of Taiwan.
-
Finally, let's talk about the ocean
-
because China is making waves,
-
literally, with its drone, submarines,
-
and naval expansion.
-
These unmanned underwater vehicles can sneak beneath carrier groups
-
. Combine that with China's navy
-
, already the largest in the world by ship count
-
, and you've got a
-
country that can project power across
-
the Pacific in ways we never imagined a decade ago.
-
Now, I know for a long time,
-
reports have questioned whether China's military
-
is really as effective as it looks
-
. And being able to march in
-
perfect unison might be visually impressive
-
, but it doesn't necessarily translate into combat readiness,
-
especially when the training for these parade soldiers
-
focuses on using needles
-
to force them into perfect poise.
-
But still, we can't look at all of this and
-
assume that China's just a paper tiger
-
with all bark and no bite anymore.
-
They have serious weapons, and some of them
-
are more advanced than the US.
-
And China's Victory Day parade wasn't
-
just about weapons.
-
It was about intimidation.
-
Yes, nothing says we're peaceful like goosestepping past nuclear missiles
-
. And to make sure nobody missed the point,
-
Xi Jinping invited his BFFs,
-
Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un.
-
It's the world's worst boy band,
-
dictator direction.
-
So, the biggest baddies are lining up behind China
-
. And China's military is a
-
lot more powerful than most people realized
-
. And the US is woefully
-
unprepared to deal with it.
-
Meanwhile, America is busy arguing about Tik Tok bans
-
, which is ironic since Tik Tok
-
might actually be China's most successful weapon so far
-
. The point is,
-
I hope seeing this parade of military might
-
wakes people up and makes them want to actually do something
-
. We need to stop the CCP now.
-
Otherwise, our children and our grandchildren might be
-
dying in a war against China.
-
Sometimes I feel like Cassandra screaming into the void
-
because just when you thought US policy couldn't get any dumber
-
, it turns out the Pentagon actually helped fund
-
some of China's military research,
-
including in the past 5 years,
-
billions in defense grants ended up in projects
-
with Chinese universities tied to the PLA
-
. Hypersonics, AI, quantum tech, you name it.
-
So congratulations, America.
-
We didn't just buy cheap junk from China.
-
We literally paid for the missiles aimed at us.
-
USA number one.
-
China already has at least 600 nuclear warheads
-
and they're stockpiling them faster than ever
-
. They're coordinating
-
with Russia and North Korea.
-
They have advanced fighter planes and their navy
-
is bigger and may be deadlier than the US Navy.
-
That's why within a decade or less
-
, the oceans that have protected
-
America for centuries may no longer keep us safe
-
. Now, some people argue that
-
communist China is a house of cards.
-
I have also argued that it's true they have a lot of weak points
-
like the failing economy, social problems,
-
corruption, you name it.
-
But military power is the glue holding that house of cards together
-
. And it's very strong glue
-
. If the Chinese people believe the
-
party can win the next war,
-
they'll march along.
-
If they see this display of might from the CCP,
-
they'll be too scared to step out of line.
-
That's why these parades matter.
-
So, here's my point.
-
America can't just keep trading with China and hope the CCP will reform.
-
It can't even just sit back and hope the CCP will collapse
-
. If the US government
-
waits another decade before treating China as a serious military threat
-
, the balance of power in Asia could flip forever
-
. The CCP will take Taiwan.
-
But that's just the beginning.
-
Well, Tibet was the beginning.
-
And then there was Hong Kong.
-
But the point is, the CCP will not stop until the entire world
-
agrees to bow before it.
-
But hey, maybe if America just signs a trade deal with China
-
, they'll stop building missiles.
-
That's how international relations work, right?
-
So, what do you think?
-
Should America take China's military buildup seriously
-
, or should we just wait until the parade includes a Death Star?
