China is ancient and beautiful. But apart from the cherry blossoms and the Great Wall, the country’s strangest problems could harm its own population, the international community, and even the unborn sacred leaders.
There is a terrifying reason why China is never up to organ donors. His social points system also comes directly from a dystopian novel. Some mysteries are equally creepy. No one knows why the government remains silent about a deadly virus, or what happened that day when US diplomats experienced a strange attack on Chinese soil.
01. A Terrifying Organ Trade
China is known for its efficiency. However, some fields cannot produce rapid results without causing suspicion. For example, each country struggles with the number of patients who need organ transplants. There are not enough donors. Most people wait for years to replace a defective organ. In China, the period is more like weeks. In 2016, about 640 organs were transplanted. This sounds normal until you verify the facts. All 640 operations occurred in a period of 10 days.
Official donors were listed as 30 individuals, representing 21 body parts impossible to harvest per person. In the past, China plucked prisoner organs without their permission. The country claimed to have abandoned this practice. But in 2019, a court interviewed witnesses and reviewed the records. They discovered that the forced harvest was still very much alive.
A doctor testified that he was ordered to remove the kidneys of a prisoner who was shot in the head. He performed the operation while the man was still alive and fighting. Criminals are not the only targets. The so-called dissidents, or people arrested because they capture the government’s disgust, are also slaughtered like cattle. Among them are ethnic minorities and the most affected are the members of a spiritual movement called Falun Gong.
02. China Is Hogging A Lethal Virus
The United States and China had an understanding. Since the H7N9 bird flu was first detected in China in 2013, samples would be provided to the US. UU. On a regular basis. Initially, things got good. China shared the new flu strains and all related data. Over time, the communication deteriorated until the samples stopped. No amount of questions could produce a single vial. The implications are not immediately obvious.
However, China’s refusal is a disaster that awaits in the wings. H7N9 has a mortality rate of 40 percent. If that is not scary enough, the tension continues to evolve. American scientists must follow and understand this change in ways to protect people from a pandemic. But since the silence fell, the possibility arose that the world could experience an outbreak for which no one is prepared. In fact, there is no way to develop a vaccine without the latest samples.
Worse, China experienced two abundant infections in the meantime, in 2016 and 2017. Scientists outside the country know nothing about the type of H7N9 that knocked down hundreds. Samples or patient information were never disclosed. If this virus persists, many scientists fear that it can lead to an international crisis and countless deaths.
03. Sonic Attacks
In 2017, U.S. diplomats stationed in Cuba became ill. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the event, which many suspects were a sonic attack, deteriorated relations between Cuba and the US. UU. At one time, all Cuban diplomats were expelled from the United States.
This episode is well known to those who follow the news. A fact that received less attention was that during the same year, and a few months after 2018, the same thing happened in China. American diplomats stationed in Guangzhou began to hear funny noises.
This was followed by the division of headaches and insomnia. A consulate, which also reported abnormal feelings of pressure, ended with brain trauma. Very alarmed, the US government withdrew several staff members and their families. The consequences of the two countries did not reflect the Cuban kaboodle. The Chinese diplomats were not expelled, but Chinese officials expressed concern when the United States refused to play open cards with them.
A local investigation found no irregularities but said it would remain open to any information that Americans could share, which was not disclosed.
04. Dystopian Credit System
Imagine that you cannot travel on a train or get quick treatment in a hospital. The reason? You lack enough points of government. In 2018, China implemented a population monitoring and control project different from everything the world had ever seen. Called the Social Credit System, a score is awarded to each citizen and company.
A positive score is reinforced by things like paying bills on time, classifying recycling items properly and doing charity work. Advantages include cheaper travel rates, better credit opportunities and shorter waiting periods in a hospital. A chilling statement provided the other side of the coin, saying the system was designed to “make it difficult for the discredited to take a single step.” This epic public coercion is possible thanks to the 200 million CCTV cameras in the country.
They are connected to facial recognition software and once a person is identified, the system can review their private records and observe disobedience. A point deduction is terribly easy. People can lose points by smoking in prohibited areas, hiking or struggling to pay their bills.
A journalist, Liu Hu, denounced government corruption and was described as “dishonest.” He was denied access to public transport, his social media accounts were closed and his career was destroyed.
05. Reincarnation Must Obey Chinese Laws
For the first time in history, the world could see two Dalai Lamas living at the same time. This comment came from the current Buddhist leader during an interview in 2019. The 83-year-old man was elected to this exalted position when he was 2 years old. For the past 60 years, the Dalai Lama lived in India after fleeing from the Chinese in his native Tibet.
Recently, Beijing said its reincarnation must comply with its laws. It is called the “New Regulation on Religious Affairs and the Rules on the Management of Reincarnation of Tibetan Living Buddhas.”
According to this bite, China reserves the right to approve the selection of the child destined to be the next Dalai Lama. The leader knows how dangerous this is. His successor would be under the control of the Communist Party of China, which persecutes most religions. In addition, in 1995, the Dalai Lama identified a child as the reincarnation of the Panchen Lama.
This position is the second-highest rank after itself. The Chinese government took the 6-year-old Tibetan child to “protective custody.” Beijing provided a Panchen Lama of his choice and no one saw the Tibetan child again. Because of this, the current leader implored people to trust only a Dalai Lama reborn in a free country and not the one chosen by China.
06. The Electromagnetic Railgun
The last naval toy in China is an electromagnetic rail cannon. First discovered in 2011, it uses electromagnetic energy instead of conventional gunpowder to fire. Incredibly, the force fires projectiles at 2.6 kilometers per second (1.6 miles per second).
In 2019, the photos showed the first Chinese warship mounted with the weapon. The Haiyangshan was a tank landing vessel class 072II class Yuting. It was first noticed on the Yangtze River, where the ship was docked near a shipyard. A few months later, more photos appeared on social media and apparently showed Haiyangshan sailing in the open sea. He was still armed with what looked like the electromagnetic rail gun.
This generated suspicions that the weapon was being tested undersea conditions. This type of firepower is enough to give the will to other nations. But China is not satisfied. US defense sources UU. They claim that the country wants, by 2025, a warship with electromagnetic rail cannons that can reach a target 200 kilometers (124 miles) away.
07. Mysterious “BreedReady” List
In 2019, a Dutch researcher ran into a database in China. Anyone could read it. This was more than a little disturbing. The cache contained the private information of 1.8 million Chinese women. The database not only revealed their phone numbers and addresses, a stalker’s dream, but also gave each person a “BreedReady” status. Some speculated that a bad translation caused the strange word. The database was written in English.
An individual from China with language problems could have shattered the word without sinister intentions. The original Chinese phrase could have referred to women of childbearing age or if they had children. In fact, the average age was 32 years. Alternatively, the spooky options were legion. The government could be identifying women who can “reproduce” since birth rates are falling too fast. It may not even be a government record.
Another company, dating application or could have compiled the list that also included details about women’s education levels and their political opinions. We may never know who looked at those ovaries. The database was removed shortly after the Dutch researcher spilled the beans.
08. Presidential Enemy – Winnie The Pooh
Many things we take for granted are blocked in China. In 2017, Winnie-the-Pooh joined the censored club. The reason was not that the adorable character made comments about the government. Or it does not agree with Chinese law. Pooh didn’t even hug the Dalai Lama. His terrible crime? Chinese citizens began comparing President Xi Jinping with the iconic bear.
Revenge was quick. Pooh was expelled from Chinese social networks and his stickers were removed from chat applications. The upper crust of China lacks humor. They do not support civilians with clown genes. For example, people who started the trend in 2013 after comparing Xi and President Obama with a picture of the chubby bear walking next to the fit Tigger.
A year later, Xi sought a handshake with the Prime Minister of Japan and on the Internet, there was a meeting between Pooh and Eeyore. In 2015, China’s most censored image was that of Pooh appearing on the roof of a toy car. It was a compound that also showed Xi standing through the roof opening of his parade car.
09. Most New Pharmaceuticals Are Fake
In 2016, the Chinese government investigated the latest pharmaceutical drugs. The study focused on products awaiting approval. The analysis included 1,622 clinical trials and additional data such as application paperwork, ingredients, and medication creation deadlines. The results were disturbing. More than 80 percent of the data was fraudulent. Records about side effects have been deleted. The information was twisted until it “proved” that the drugs worked.
Other information was incomplete or missing. Many products were not even new. Instead, someone simply mixed the existing medicines. The researchers also found that several test results were written before conducting any experiment. The dishonesty was profound. Scientists, pharmaceutical companies, laboratories, and even other researchers were involved.
This sordid network was not purely motivated by greed. Pharmaceutical employees are under enormous pressure to produce innovative jobs or run the risk of being laid off. Add fierce competition between companies and the rampant corner cut begins to make sense.
10. The J-20 Fighter Jet
China glanced at an American fighter jet, the F-22 Raptor, and decided to counter it. Enter the J-20. For a long time, the stealth aircraft was designed and secretly tested. In 2018, it spread on the asphalt for all to see. The response to the Raptor was finally ready for combat. The sinister aura fostered during its secret beginnings was missing. More correctly, a little late. It was assumed that a set of WS-15 engines would do the same or better than the F22. Instead, after an explosion during a ground test in 2015, engines were excluded from the design of the plane.
This means that, while China’s last jet is operational and capable, it still can’t growl on the F-22. At the moment, the J-20 flies with weaker engines until the WS-15 problem is solved. This could take a few years, but the plane is still special. A variety of weapons arms this beast, which makes it China’s best defense against stealth aircraft in the US. UU.
