MWI War Council: Chinese Military Activities

The Modern War Institute at West Point hosted a multi-disciplinary panel to discuss recent Chinese military activities and developments for all cadets, staff, and faculty. The virtual panel featured expertise on technological innovations and weapons, international law and lawfare, Taiwan, and nuclear escalation from Major Brigid Calhoun (MWI), Justin Lynch (MWI), Dr. Hitoshi Nasu (Law), Meia Nouwens (IISS), and Dr. Sanne Verschuren (Stanford). A period for audience-led discussion and questions followed their presentations.

It is absolutely astonishing that videos like this are publicly available. Chinese and Russian OSINT practitioners must love this stuff.

Hearing the Major at the beginning was great news that DOD is no longer obsessed with middle east. The huge quantity of PRC-PLA Surface to Ship, Surface to Surface, Surface to Air missiles across from Taiwan even in 2000 was a problem. But with newer improved missiles besides hypersonic missiles DOD needs to focus on this threat!

China's hypersonic missile test last year went around the world in 90 minutes. When she said a mile a minute it made me chuckle too. These expert "wonks" are just public relations marketing for US military industrial capitalist.

It'd take 420 hours to get around earth going a mile a minute :D

It’s disappointing to hear this is a tip of the spear discussion for US defence. No discussion of how we ended up in this position, meaning we are doomed to repeat our mistakes. Corruption and technology transfers via “allies” is at the heart of this problem. It doesn’t matter what capabilities we develop, if this technology constantly ends up in the hands of our adversaries.

Mostly President LBJ and Henry Kissinger's council for national policy did lead up to the CCP having actual police stations in NYC and across America.
