China Developing ‘brain-disrupting’ Weapons Analysts Warn, Experts Cast Doubt; China Crafts Weapons to Alter Brain Function; Report Says Tech Meant to Influence Government Leaders

China developing ‘brain-disrupting’ weapons analysts warn, experts cast doubt:

Fears that China is developing “brain-disrupting” weapons have again been raised despite the dismissal of claims a mysterious syndrome afflicting US diplomats resulted from a deliberate attack.

“Unknown to many, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons,” claims a report by three analysts calling themselves The CCP Biothreats Initiative.

The Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program document claims Beijing is developing methods to impair the thinking of military personnel and government officials.

The National University of Singapore East Asian Institute senior fellow, a former US Army microbiologist and a former US air force intelligence officer claim microwave and similar directed energy weapons can “attack, or even control, mammalian brains (including humans)”.

“However, the CCP’s weaponization of neuroscience extends well beyond the scope and understanding of classical microwave weapons,” they claim.

They assert such technology, combined with psychological warfare, is “a core component of (Beijing’s) asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific.”

But while it speculates at length on the strategic and tactical power of such an assault, the 12-page report contains next to no detail about these weapons, or how they actually work.

And that’s the same reason why a two-year investigation into some 1500 “anomalous health incidents” reported by US diplomats since 2016 rejected the notion they were the victims of an attack.

An unexplained set of symptoms, including hearing loss, vertigo, nausea and “brain fog”, has been dubbed “Havana syndrome” as its epicentre was the US diplomatic mission in Cuba. —>READ MORE HERE

China crafts weapons to alter brain function; report says tech meant to influence government leaders:

China‘s People’s Liberation Army is developing high-technology weapons designed to disrupt brain functions and influence government leaders or entire populations, according to a report by three open-source intelligence analysts.

The weapons can be used to directly attack or control brains using microwave or other directed energy weapons in handheld guns or larger weapons firing electromagnetic beams, adding that the danger of China‘s brain warfare weapons prior to or during a conflict is no longer theoretical.

“Unknown to many, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have established themselves as world leaders in the development of neurostrike weapons,” according to the 12-page report, “Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program.” The Washington Times obtained a copy of the study.

The U.S. Commerce Department in December 2021 imposed sanctions on China‘s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 related entities the department said were using “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end-uses and end-users, to include purported brain-control weaponry.”

Few public studies or discussions, however, have been held regarding the new advanced military capability.

Neurostrike is a military term defined as the engineered targeting of the brains of military personnel or civilians using nonkinetic technology. The goal is to impair thinking, reduce situational awareness, inflict long-term neurological damage and cloud normal cognitive functions.

The study was written by Ryan Clarke, a senior fellow at the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore; Xiaoxu Sean Lin, a former Army microbiologist now with Feitan College; and L.J. Eads, a former Air Force intelligence officer and current specialist in artificial intelligence for the U.S. intelligence community. The three authors write that China‘s leadership “views neurostrike and psychological warfare as a core component of its asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States and its allies in the Indo-Pacific.”

According to the report, neurostrike capabilities are part of standard military capabilities and should not be viewed as an unconventional weapon limited to use in extreme circumstances. —>READ MORE HERE
