O n November 20, 2019, newly retired US Air Force Lieutenant General Steven Kwast publicly declared that China is building a space navy with battleships and destroyers that could be used against U.S. military assets in space. Two years earlier, Dr. James Sheehy, the Chief Technology Officer for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, a major U.S. Navy research entity, starkly revealed that China has been developing hybrid air, sea, and spacecraft with advanced electromagnetic systems that will revolutionize the aerospace industry. Such developments would also make fossil fuel propelled craft obsolete. These announcements signal a clear and present danger.
Senior Pentagon officials are openly warning us that China is well on the way to having the capacity to destroy the entire U.S. military and civilian satellite communications grid overnight. Even more concerning is Chinas efforts to weaponize Artificial Intelligence (AI) in order to gain an asymmetric advantage over its greatest technological rival, the United States. National security analysts are asserting that Chinas technological and economic development is so rapid that it is on the way to achieving its goal of global hegemony before its target date of 2049. This is the one hundred year anniversary of the communist partys civil war victory and the end of a century of humiliation by Western powers according to the current historical view held by the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Political analyst Dr. Graham Allison, founding Dean of Harvard Universitys Kennedy School of Government, cautions over Thucydides Trap, a classically volatile situation whereby the rising hegemon (China) is destined to clash with the ruling hegemon (USA) for global dominance for decades to come. Other prominent China political analysts such as Dr. Michael Pillsbury, author of The Hundred Year Marathon, and Brigadier General Robert Spalding, author of Stealth War , describe in great detail the military, economic, and technological power acquired by China in recent decades. They specifically warn that China is using stealth war strategies developed during its Period of the Warring States by the revered military genius Sun Tzu and other military strategists over two millennia ago. China aims to beguile western democracies into a false sense of complacency until it is ready to unleash a lightning bolt series of actions to displace the U.S. as the global hegemon without firing a shot. Pillsbury and Spaldings collective assessments determine that China is unlikely to change its repressive political system, and instead, will export the advantages of a totalitarian system that increasingly uses advanced technologies and AI to control the lives of its citizens, and slowly extend out around the world. How did China progress from an industrial backwater struggling to feed its vast population to a technological and economic juggernaut, challenging U.S. supremacy on Earth and in space?
For an answer, we must turn to the father of Chinas rocket-propelled space program, Dr. Tsien Hsue-shen. Ironically, Dr. Tsiens brilliant career began on American soil where he rose to prominence and played a founding role first in the launch of U.S. rocket science through the legendary Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). JPL would become one of the leading scientific institutions developing the rockets that powered the NASA space program. By 1950, due to his impressive scientific accomplishments at both JPL and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Dr. Tsien attained national celebrity status across America as a pioneering rocket scientist. Major newspapers regularly interviewed him for his ideas on modern rockets and jet-propelled supersonic aircraft that would one day transport civilians from one side of the country to the other in under an hour.
What is not widely known, however, is that Tsien had also helped the US (Army) Air Force study supersonic saucer-shaped aerospace vehicles captured from Nazi Germany and retrieved from UFO crash sites in New Mexico dating from 1947. Not only did Tsien help U.S. scientists investigate the exotic propulsion systems of captured flying saucer craft, but he was also directly involved in the (Army) Air Forces development of a decades-long plan for the reverse engineering of the captured supersonic vehicles for a future multifaceted secret space program.
At the height of his national celebrity status and scientific influence, an unthinkable set of events took place. Tsien was declared a communist sympathizer by the FBI, deprived of all his security clearances, and deported back to China after a lengthy legal battle. A stunned Tsien was forced back to his homeland, and he took with him a treasure trove of Americas military and technological secrets.
It is no small wonder that upon returning to China in 1955, Dr. Tsien single-handedly helped the Peoples Liberation Army develop a rocket program that became the foundation for its fledgling nuclear ballistic missile and space program. While helping China develop modern rockets for nuclear missiles and satellite launch systems, Tsien simultaneously monitored developments throughout China concerning advanced aerospace technologies similar to what he had studied back in the U.S., some of which came from Nazi Germany. This involved investigating ubiquitous UFO sightings throughout China; learning about the contents of mysterious pyramids in Shaanxi province rumored to possess ancient aviation technologies; recovery of artifacts from an ancient flying saucer crash that occurred 12,000 years ago in the China-Tibet border region; Tibetan-Buddhist records of flying saucers and frequent contacts with their occupants; and the Chinese and Soviet attacks on and resulting capture of a major UFO base in Mongolia in 1980 belonging to an unknown and technologically advanced civilization.
In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan and Chinas paramount leader Deng Xiaoping reached wide-sweeping technology assistance agreements that allowed China to receive some of the most advanced U.S. technologies. While Reagan is widely regarded as having reached these agreements to counter the threat posed by the Soviet Union and weaken it in the international arena, Reagans true purpose lay in responding to a different threat altogether.
