I wouldn't be surprised if they are burning mail-in ballots for the November election.

China would love Biden to win.

Probably burning American mortgage contracts.

Sort of where my mind is as well on this. I'm wondering if this is China prepping to bail all their personnel out of the USA just as all hell breaks loose and the great US-Sino war begins.

Yep, lots of interesting news. Here is another.

U.S.-China tensions loom over Pompeo visit to U.K.

The secretary of state and British officials were set to discuss Hong Kong, as well as Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.

www.nbcnews.com...

A senior Chinese official accused the U.K. of pandering to the U.S. as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo landed in London, with China top of his agenda as he readied for high-level meetings on Tuesday.

"We do not want to see the tit-for-tat between China and the U.S. happen in China-U.K. relations," the Chinese ambassador to Britain, Liu Xiaoming, said in a statement on Twitter late Monday.

Liu has previously warned the U.K. not to "dance to the tune of Americans" and instead urged Britain to pursue its "own independent foreign policy."

I wonder if that has anything to do with this:
From; spokesman.com

An investigation into coordinated attacks by a pair of Chinese hackers that officials believe are now targeting U.S. efforts to treat the novel coronavirus originated at the Hanford nuclear site in Richland.

“If it can occur there, we all must be aware it could occur anywhere,” William Hyslop, U.S. Attorney for Eastern Washington, said at a news conference Tuesday announcing indictments against the Chinese nationals, joined by officials from the U.S. Attorney General’s Office and the FBI.

Li Xiaoyu, 34, and Dong Jiazhi, 33, received assistance from the Chinese government in their hacking efforts dating back at least to 2009, according to the indictment. Between January and May, the pair were linked by investigators to an attack on firms in Massachusetts, Maryland and California working on COVID-19 vaccines and testing kits.

Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers said the federal government is not alleging that any information was stolen, only that the hackers – who received assistance from an unnamed official in China’s Ministry of State Security – attempted to steal data.

Seems a little intriguing to have these two events "Soo" close together.

From that article:

A Houston police source told KPRC 2 that the consulate and a compound on Almeda Road, where many employees of the consulate live, are being evicted on Friday at 4 p.m.

Why are they being evicted? This is a weird story!

Probably just burning their used toilet paper. I hear most people don't it flush in China. Just dirty, poopy toilet paper.

If the SHTF consulate staff are withdrawn pretty soon before hostilities break out, if the Chinese embassy in Washington was loosing staff fast I would begin to worry. Consular staff are usually comprised of the family members of high ranking CCP officials .

I wonder if this has anything to do with the grain deal. I don't have the details on it today, but if it goes south, all hell can be seen in China.

The sad part is that it seems that Chinese leadership is so dethatched from the people that if they poo poo the grain deal, and that Dam goes, will the Chinese leadership actually humble themselves to ask the US for humanitarian help?

a reply to: musicismagic
Funny you should mention that, as the overall harvest in the States doesn't seem to be to hot due to the weather, Perhaps their is no grain, as the reserves have been hammered.

a reply to: Guyfriday

On the other hand building a dam like that could be seen as a strategic defense disaster, one small nuke and its all over for the Yangzi river flood plain?
