I Just posted it as the Chinese are taking advantage of the rest of the world being locked down and in the middle of global recession. Typical dodgy opportunists. They have also been going round buying up companies and shares. The Chinese want global domination. They could turn off huge parts of the Worlds tech in minutes. Hence the mistrust letting them into the UK's network. A bit too late though TBH.

The US stuck a US Flag in the ground, aye, but they never then claimed that it belonged to them. In fact, they were one of the first countries to sign the Outer Space Treaty which was in 1967 - 2 years before they even landed on it. I might be misremembering this slightly, but I think China technically have also signed this treaty, but as the original signature was transferred to the People's Republic of China after a UN vote on "the one true China", they could potentially argue that they haven't actually ever signed it themselves. Not sure why you're acting like it's so controversial to comment on the way that China are conducting some of their international business, and to question the motives behind it, suggesting that people are saying "Big Bad China". It's not a xenophobic thing, it's not a racist thing, and it's nothing against the Chinese people. It's entirely aimed at the regime that is in charge, which is dodgy as ****, and are up to some pretty horrific things. Countries and Governments are starting to question motives a bit more, which is why things like the Huawei infrastructure is starting to banned across multiple different countries. The information about what the government are up to is suppressed as much as possible, and things are quietly happening around the World (in particular, the heavy involvement in Africa and the South China Sea). This is not a conspiracy, it is fact. If everything was so wonderful and brilliant, why would Hong Kong be kicking up such a fuss about being under Chinese control?

Seymour M Hersh Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 My guess is they'll be very interested to see what, if any, rare minerals, metals etc are there. If there seems to be a significant amount then they'll probably claim the moon as a Chinese province and start mining expeditions. At least they won't have to bribe the moon's leaders with their belt and roads "iniatives" as they've done in over 100 countries so far to hoover up their natural resources in return for a few nice roads and buildings.

Sharpie Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 This post could well go in the getting old thread. You guys will be the same as my life and countries. It started with the bad Germans, then it was the Russians, Korea caused a war, China got involved in that as did United States and Nations. China contributed manpower and used a strategy of lowering their population by sacrificing men in their hundreds. Now we have the problems with the Middle East and terrorism. The ambitions of reasonably large population, economic success generally because of large population and production for export now become ambitious for total world domination. Space is the new WW1 trenches, WW2 mass bombings, nuclear threat. Just like has happened every time in history the people will suffer millions will die, there will be a winner and it will all be over, and on whatever means of communication like the internet some old fart like me will be saying I remember when.
