Official Chinese television has invented a fake French journalist defending the regime against allegations of genocide against the Uyghurs:

This is bad.

Can we believe they're lying about coivd and believe that our country has handled the situation poorly? I feel like both things can exist, but maybe I'm wrong.

Oh, 100% yes.

It’s unnerving to think that if Trump hadn’t done anything differently other than not have been so obnoxiously antimask, we would have had hundreds of thousands of fewer deaths and he would still be president. Imagining that would make a good think piece.

Quote:
NIH says it has identified over 500 ‘scientists of concern’ amid Chinese theft challenge

A top official at the National Institutes of Health said the federal agency has identified more than 500 “scientists of concern” within federally funded academic institutions and research programs as the U.S. government grapples with systematic foreign influence efforts, including Chinese economic espionage.

Dr. Michael Lauer, the NIH deputy director for extramural research, made the revelation during a Thursday hearing by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions focused on protecting U.S. biomedical research, especially from undue foreign influence.

“I think one big problem, senators, is that the threat is significant. … We have identified over 500 scientists of concern. … Each of these require a tremendous amount of work to figure out what exactly has been happening and to work carefully with the institution to figure out what’s going on,” Lauer said, adding, “As of April 2021, we have contacted more than 90 awardee institutions regarding concerns involving over 200 scientists.”

Lauer said: “We’ve seen scientists who have told their American institutions and the NIH that they’re spending 100% of their time in the U.S., when, in fact, they’re spending 50% to 60% of their time in China — so they’re lying about how they’re spending their time, and that kind of blatant lie affects the credibility and the integrity of the entire enterprise.”

My brain is broken:

I see a chart where this city had a pretty consistent downpour, and then all of a sudden they got 200mm of rain in an hour.

200mm? What does that mean in units useful to the human experience? Somewhere between 8 and 10 inches?

When I see 203mm: thats 8 inches on the dot.

Probably overstated, I have no idea how to evaluate any of this:



Hopefully this is nothing, and China is fat and happy and decides they don't need to invade Taiwan just this minute.

Forgive my ignorance (please):

Is the worry that this is new tech?

Or

That China now has ICBMs?

I think it’s a bit of both, but more importantly, that our intel was so behind the ball.
