A Space Pearl Harbor
A covert Chinese unmanned mini-space shuttle that was launched into orbit on August 4 “ejected something” at the end of October, according to a report published on Halloween. According to Jonathan McDowell of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the unknown object “may be a service module, possibly indicating an upcoming deorbit burn.” Or maybe not. Given what’s going on globally, the U.S. military should be concerned that whatever object the Chinese spaceplane put into orbit is more than just a “small satellite for monitoring the space plane” as it returns to Earth. Perhaps, rather than being an observation satellite, the smaller object is a co-orbital satellite designed to tailgate U.S. satellites and latch onto sensitive American systems to sabotage or destroy them.

Not showing up to Climate Talks
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not attend the COP27 United Nations Climate Conference, even though their nations are two of the world’s top three carbon emitters.

China’s ‘Fortresses of Warfare’: COSCO Ships Spread CCP Reach Globally
China’s main shipping company COSCO is one of the biggest shipping companies on the planet. While it looks like a regular Chinese company on the outside, it’s a branch of the Chinese Communist Party on the inside. In this episode of China Uncensored, we look at COSCO’s global reach, how the CCP could use the data COSCO collects on shipping to its advantage, and how COSCO ships could be weaponized in a time of war.

Why China’s Marriage Crisis Is An Existential Threat To The Country
In China, a hyper-traditional society, having a child out of wedlock is still frowned upon. Childbearing and childrearing are synonymous with marriage. Last year, the communist nation saw marriage rates hit a 35-year low. The sharp drop in marital vows comes at the same time China faces an impending demographic crisis. 2021 saw 7.6 million marriage registrations, the fewest since 1986. With falling birth rates and a rapidly aging population, China faces problems that are very much existential in nature.

They GREENED CHINA’S DESERT And It’s WORKING
This “new” Great Wall of China isn’t built with stones, mortar, and sand, but instead with trees. The enemy they are defending themselves from now, though, is desertification. A report shows that dry lands, including desert, cover over 40% of the Earth’s total land area. China has been worrying about their desert expansion problem since the 1970’s, now, they are taking charge by helping reforest the Gobi Desert.

Chinese Business people complain that ‘dictator’ Xi Jinping is dropping China ‘into an abyss’
Business leaders in China can see the writing on the wall. Last month Xi Jinping secured his third 5-year term as president, making him the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao. And like Mao, Xi is more interested in top-down control and communist ideology than he is in market-driven prosperity. Chinese business executives who had gotten used to being relatively free to make money are now confronted with a leader who disappears billionaires who step out of line. It is dawning on some of them that, given Xi’s consolidation of power, it could be quite a while before the situation improves.

How The U.S. Navy Can Compete With China In The Gray-Zone
They can either stand idle, and let China make good its claim to state ownership of the South China Sea in defiance of the law of the sea. Or they can open fire, and bear the blame for aggression. Friends of maritime law need some recourse short of blazing away with guns or missiles. Hence the search for “intermediate force capabilities” between passive acquiescence and hot war.
