China's INSANE Command Center: 10 Times Bigger than the Pentagon!

All right, hello everybody and welcome to Geopolitical Trends, where truth matters. Excited to be with you on this February 1st. Oh my God, January is gone, where time goes. So anyway, very excited, and, uh, of course the topic I'm going to be addressing, uh, for you today, uh, it's of a very, very strategic geopolitical and military importance. So, and I thank you, I have to thank the community for voting for that topic. So this is why I do the survey, guys, because I like to have, uh, let me silence the sound of the computer here, uh, as long as you can hear me, uh, your input, because that's what helps me at least sort out through the topics and do the one that you guys want to learn about. So So this is what I'm going to be addressing. Let me just see quickly who's here in the community. Uh, uh, Antoango, good to see you. Uh, Violet Quinlow, good to see you. Uh, I did see— good to see you, Dave H. Now there's this gent— person here, I'm gonna share it on the screen. Uh, Jean Lavelier, the reason I want to share this with you, uh, Jean Lavelier gave a very substantial donation to to the channel, and he left it up to me to decide whether I use it for the channel or for the trip, to Asia trip. So I decided to allocate, uh, that substantial donation in support of the trip. So thank you very much, Gene, truly appreciate you for that. So Liang, Multi TomTom, good to see you. Truth Seeker, Farid ML, also I can't thank you enough for your, uh, support buying me tea. So very, very kind of you. And also the purchase of the books. So, uh, Hangin' G, as always, thank you for your support for the Asia trip. I'm very, very grateful, uh, Hangin' G. Marco, good to see you. Flat Earth, good to see you. John Smith from New Zealand. Hairless Ape, good to see you. UTU Z Super. Yana Hakor.

Phil.

Francis Tango. Lohani. And who else? Peace Lover, good Good to see you, Sunshine. Good to see you as well. So, all right guys, let's get in because I got a lot to cover into all this. I'll answer some Super Sticker questions if there are any, uh, uh, and I hope, by the way, you guys enjoyed the, uh, uh, live Q&A. So if you guys want me to keep doing that once a while— it's not gonna be on a weekly or biweekly, it's gonna be once a while— I'd be happy to do this. So, so first of all, let me just start with some housekeeping items here. Be on the lookout for my upcoming interview with Jayant Bahandari. You all know who he is. He's a, he's a, he's a frequent guest on the channel here, usually whenever he's available because he travels around the world a lot. So we're going to be doing an interview from, uh, uh, uh, disclosed location till he gives me the green light to disclose where he's at. I, I know where he's at and So anyway, it's going to be on the 5th, uh, and we will be addressing really, really what's going on, uh, on, on, on that part of the world and also regarding India. So second thing, I am in the process of arranging two other interviews and I will let you know about it as we move forward. So, so let me start. First of all, I'm going to start with this, uh, if I get it, uh, where is the picture? What's up? I didn't put that up yet, but I'm gonna put it up quickly if you bear with me. Uh, here guys, I'm gonna bear— because you need to see a picture. And, and I already spoke about this one yesterday when I shared the— when I shared the post in the community. So it's this one here. A very interesting enough development that, uh, just found out that the company now that, that, that he's hacking the WhatsApp. And this is according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. And Haaretz in Israel has a good reputation, per se. It disclose stuff. I'm assuming they are working with the government, but they are certain. I read, I read their, their publications and they are on point on certain, mainly, uh, uh, uh, almost 80% on the topic. Spot on. So, but anyway, they disclosed that the Israeli company Paragon Solutions, that's the one that is hacked into WhatsApp, which revealed the targeted dozens of users including journalists. So now that's not about that. What I wanted to tell you is who founded this company. So I'm going to share a picture with you guys and tell me who this person is. Because he's the founder of this company. You should know who he is. Does anybody know? Can you type in, in a chat box? Let me quickly see if you guys— you should know who that guy is. All right, I'm waiting to see because it takes a, a little bit of delay here. Uh, Truth Seeker, okay, this is Ehud Barak. He's the former Prime Minister of Israel. So that is the guy, he's the one who founded this company. But the company is run by none other than a former commander who was under his command, and this guy by the name Ehud Sharon, I have a picture of him. So I'm, I'm aware of this guy because of the unit, it's 8200 Cyber Unit. To those who have been in military intelligence, you will know what I'm talking about. So this is exactly, uh, and, and I just found it ironic that now it's the, the Israelis that hacking. So what happened to the Chinese TikTok? What happened to the Chinese balloon? What happened to the— see, see what I'm getting at? It's not a laughing matter, but just to highlight to you, and the media staying quiet about it because it it's not Chinese. And this is to me where the double standard— and this is going to lead me to talk about the topic today as to why Western analysts now are saying beyond what you can even imagine. And I'm going to be sharing all this with you as we move forward. So, so my topic today, just for those who do not know, is that we're going to be addressing, uh, the process by which China now is building the equivalency of the Pentagon, except that it is 10 times the size of the Pentagon. Now, of course, it's going to be so many speculations in the West, and I read some, and I have the links and all that stuff for you. And, and, and one who is familiar with similar setting that we have here in the US back in my days in, in Washington, and I'm going to share that with you. My point is to highlight to you the context, the geopolitical, military context of why all of a sudden all the eyes are on this particular project that China is getting involved in. So, uh, I'll start with the questions pertaining to this. It has to do with the timing, okay? Why, if it is this sensitive, why will China allow this information to be released? And by the way, some articles mentioned there was a Chinese analyst who talked about this. I am sure— I'm assuming he had the green light from Beijing to address that. But that's beside the point, is the idea of the timing of it. Why not? If you only consider that the project, it's not— didn't just start last week, that started back in, in 2024, in about May or so. And I will provide you some satellite images and so forth. Second question is, what and to whom the message is sent, if any? Now The reason I put this question is not every time China has to send a message. Yeah, of course it does that quietly and sophisticatedly. China is very sophisticated about that. Why? It's a reflection of its history, how it manages, uh, or it managed back then and still manages today the conflict. We all remember what the Japanese did in China, uh, and, and you all remember the turmoil that took place within the internal war that was taking place inside China, you know, and yet somehow it manages things differently. So that is the reason why I'm saying, what is the message? To whom the message is sent, if any? Third question is, what are the regional security issues? That is— and notice I didn't say global, I said regional for now. The reason why I want to be limited to this, because if there is what I'm thinking about, it's going to be limited to the regional aspects for one reason and one reason only. And the fourth question is the geopolitical implications, because there will be implications geopolitically speaking of all this. So now here is what I found very ironic before I'll delve deeper into the detail of all this, and I'm going to share a picture. This is a satellite image of, of the location which is in western part of Benin. Uh, here is what I found very ironic. What I found very ironic is that it was a former— here's, here's the point— former US officials. Wouldn't that be interesting to say at least the current administration but not the former one? And that begs the question, is this meant to, to, to sort of push tensions to the surface between the current administration and China more than what it already is. So if the former US official saying that the Chinese military is building huge complex in Western Beijing, and this is according to the US intelligence agencies, and again I am finding myself, is this meant to serve a specific agenda by fomenting more tensions between the current administration and China? I'll let you be the judge of that. So in addition to this is that the intelligence agencies right here in the US— and when we say the intelligence agencies, not the all 16, which there are many, a lot of people in the US do not even know which ones because those are off the record, even their budget is black budget and so forth. I'm talking about the major ones. When we say major ones, we're looking about the CIA, the NSA, the DIA, the NRO, the National Recon Office, uh, and, and so forth. Those are deal with analysis. Even there is a division inside the, the, the Department of Energy that deals with the nuclear aspects of it. Suffice it to say that the intelligence community— so there is an assessment now that this new building is going to serve as a wartime command. Okay, if we are even to go with that, what makes that different than the Pentagon? So, and this is what I'm trying to get you to understand, guys. Are we moving into— because it's all in the wording, you know what I mean? It's how you word it, how you sell it to the domestic, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, population or domestic consumption. You is how you word it. So this is what I'm saying. Is the intelligence community trying to feed certain narrative to the masses here in America? Oh, this is going to be now a wartime, which means what? Push the narrative that China is planning on dominating the world militarily and so forth. See what I'm getting at? This is exactly my point. So, so before I'll delve deeper, and I am having some pictures, and you all know, guys, it takes me time to do all this. I will be very, very grateful since you enjoy this, uh, uh, learning process here and enjoying these free episodes and support. I will greatly appreciate if this is your first time here on this channel. I will appreciate it if you can hit the, uh, subscription button. So I'm gonna put it in the chat box for those who might be here for the first time. Uh, I will greatly appreciate it if you can, uh if you can subscribe to the channel. So that would be very, very kind of you to do so. So here is the link here on the screen. Oh, not this one, that's the wrong one. Right here, this is the one. So please subscribe so you'll give an opportunity for others to be able to hear the truth as well. So, and thank you for your support. All right, I'm, I'm gonna divide this analysis into two main aspects. One is military and one is geopolitical. But there is one thing that comes to right there. I already read the stuff that I spent last night reading to make sure I am covering, because the information I need to prov— I am providing you is to the best of my abilities as far as the accuracy. I, I, I fact check the information And I put the links for you that I am certain of. And that is why the first thing that caught my attention was, is this— and I'm going to ask you guys— is this project that China is involved in building, is it a nuclear-resistant bunker in your opinion? Yes or no? So the building that is China now is in a process of building, which is 10 times the size of the Pentagon. Is it a nuclear-resistant bunker? Yes or no? Let me see in the chat box here, guys. Uh, John Smith, you say yes. Uh, Marco W, you say through— I, I couldn't tell. Q, you say yes. Hanging G, you say yes. Remples of One, you say yes. One Horn, you say yes. Uh, Thunderbolt, you say yes. Seems to be most of you guys Uh, uh, most of you, uh, seems to agree. Okay, Ole Witto, you, you, uh, here you are. You said, I don't think people will survive nuclear war. Uh, no, you could, you could. Just to let you guys know, uh, you could survive it if there is a well-insulated bunker. So, and I'm gonna share some info with you. My point is this, it's just to highlight to you that could this be serving that purpose? Well, when you look at the 1,500-acre Uh, uh, let me, let me share the picture once again just to see. And I give credit to MapLab. That's where the satellite— this is a commercial, not a military, uh, uh, image, image right here. So, so the 1,500-acre construction, which usually has sort of— now this is what I'm saying, some analysts in Washington are saying already, uh, this is gonna house— it's gonna have a— it's gonna house hardened bunkers, you know, and this is to protect military leaders during any conflict. Well, first of all, are you going to have all the military leaders congregate in one location, which not be a smart thing to do? That's one. So, and this is what I am trying to pinpoint to you, the idea of, uh, uh, the bunker. Yes, it can be used against as a as, uh, what we call it, resistance. So, and the reason I'm saying this, because I had the experience of being in Mount Weather. Uh, to those who might not know, Mount Weather is a location in West Virginia, and this is where the presidential nuclear bunker— that is, it's a major facility, and I'm gonna share the link with you guys. This, this one operates as, of course, we call it an emergency operation center. But, and it's public information, it has a bunker nuclear resistance here. This is where the US government can still manage its affairs and even direct or manage a war if it be the case. So my point, if we are to say this new facility in West Beijing is serving this purpose, I can see the logic for that also. But I can also say it, see it as a reflection of the changes, the dynamics that taking place. So, and here is the thing, even Chinese military, uh, uh, uh, uh, commanders and so forth, so, and including the leadership, the civilian leadership, that is, you know, because this one is gonna provide— and I am sure Chinese are thinking in those terms— this is going to be provide a greater security against US bunker buster munitions. Now, the only question is, when I say bunker buster, those are if they are— if we are talking about a nuclear weapon here. So, but on the other hand, I'm going to counter-argue that by saying, even with this bunker buster munition, which we used, by the way, in Afghanistan, but did we win the war? No, we didn't. So it was useless. We just pounded mountains for no reason, and we didn't defeat the, the, the fighters there. So what makes those analysts here in Washington saying that, oh, this is mainly is going to be, uh, uh, the Chinese building this because they are nervous about the bunker buster munitions? Well, wait a minute, why will Chinese be nervous about it when they have advanced systems that can take care of whatever need to be taken care of? I mean, we used them in Afghanistan, it didn't work. And this is why I don't buy this argument I use Afghanistan as a case in point. So, because one thing for sure is that based on my reading of the detail, and I provide you the link about the structure of, of this, uh, particular facility, it's just it bears all the hallmark of some sort of certain aspects of it that is military sensitive. It's like what we have in Mount Weather. Mount Weather, if you go in, you can just go to wherever the facility is so big and so forth, and there are sections that are off limits, you know. Even with your security clearance, you can't just walk in and get in. I will say the same arguments about this, uh, uh, particular, uh, aspect. What is very important about it is that the size— this is 10 times larger than the Pentagon. It gives you two things. One is that China is good at infrastructure, which means it can build mega projects, because this one here When you look at the Pentagon, just think about it, guys. And to those who— I used to live across from the Pentagon, over the river on the other side, back in the day. It's huge, it's big. But what China is building is 10 times the size of the Pentagon, especially for my fellow Americans who are familiar or been in Washington, uh, in Arlington, to be exact, where the Pentagon is located. So, and this I could say it falls within the vision of what the Chinese government since the arrival of, uh, President Xi Jinping— what is it? And that vision is to strengthen the military. Of course, this is what the vision from President Xi Jinping. The interpretation in the West is slightly different. You know what it is? And I'm going to say it say it for you word for word, and I quote, "It is about 10 times larger than the Pentagon and is suitable for Chinese President Xi Jinping's ambitions to overtake the United States." End of quote. Okay, why, why will, why will China advocate its resources to overtaking the US?

What for?

When they can improve. And they've been doing this. When I went there, I saw with my own eyes, I saw that the reflection of this so-called overtaking the US has no basis of merit, has no base of reality whatsoever. What I saw was this overtaking mindset that the West is talking, it's about investing inside the country, inside China. That's why I saw the developments of the infrastructure. On the military aspects, they, meaning Chinese government in this case, has to strengthen its military apparatus because of what we are doing and what we are planning on doing, especially nowadays with, with Marco Rubio and the advocacy for what he plans to do in Southeast Asia. And we're gonna get into that as I move forward. So So the other aspects of it is that the idea that this particular facility could serve as a, uh, sort of, uh, a bunker in the event of a nuclear attack. Yeah, there is the possibility of this. Chinese shouldn't rule that option out because it will be not smart of them if they do so. You can't rule out— why? Because you can't trust the West. You can't trust what the Americans are saying, straightforward. So now here is— I'm gonna now talk about the military dimension, then I'll jump into geopolitical and answer if there is any, uh, Super Sticker question from you guys. So, so the US intelligence officials, and specifically I'll take one former CIA analyst who now suggests that the complex, meaning what China is building, uh, signals the intention of China to develop and advanced nuclear warfighting capabilities. And I have to disagree with that assessment. Do I see the logic into China upgrading its nuclear capability? Yes, of course. And they need to, because what happened with the NFT, the, the Medium Range Treaty that's been now bed between Russia and the US, which means those two countries, Russia and the US, will move forward, forward into advancing. As a matter of fact, Russia is advancing new capabilities into the nuclear aspects of this. Well, do you think China just gonna sit by and watch? You can't do that, especially when your economy is coming to beat on the top of the world for their output, you're going to have to ensure a mechanism, defense mechanism, that is, by which to protect your economic sort of ascendancy and so forth. So, so I see to a degree the logic of the argument from this analyst, but it's not entirely regarding the development and advance of nuclear warfighting capabilities because China has already certain systems that we don't. For example, hypersonic systems. China developed advanced systems. Look at, for example, the, the, the, the fighter 6th generation. Look at, for example, the quantum computing, which, by the way, the US is so concerned about. Why? Because quantum computing will allow you to break the codes. In no time. As a matter of fact, I, I kept this for you guys because I thought of you when I was, uh, when I was doing this, and I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no, the community needs to hear about this one. So I'm gonna share, uh, share it with you if you bear with me here. Let me just get, uh, get to it. Uh, I got so much that I don't remember what I put the stuff But I'll get it, I'll get it. So yeah, quantum computing right here. So I'm going to share it with you guys, just, just take a listen. And this is from, uh, Michio Kaku. Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist, the string theory, that is his background in physics. All right, and this is, guys, where I spend my time researching the stuff for you because I want you to have, top-notch information and quality information. So I would greatly appreciate your support for that. Take a look— take a listen, I'm sorry. Why is the CIA afraid of quantum?

Because in principle they're so powerful you can break any digital code. Because how do you put a code into a computer? If I have a number that's 100 digits long, I ask the computer—

30 years ago Oh, that's the wrong— this one. Okay, what happened here? Sorry guys, I can't tell if, if you guys can hear or not. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. All right, here it is. Once again, there are too many. Quantum. Okay, play.

Why is the CIA afraid of quantum Because in principle, they're so powerful you can break any digital code. Because how do you put a code into a computer? If I have a number that's 100 digits long, I ask the computer, factorize it as the product of two smaller integers. That could take 10,000 years to solve that problem. That's why you're safe. That's why no one can break into your code, because you know how to factorize these two numbers, but the, the criminal does not. A quantum computer can crack it like that?

Why is the CIA— okay, that was just my point to highlight to you. So I see the argument when they're saying about the advanced system, but China is already there. Look at just what happened with, with Deep, Deep Seek. You know, it's just the idea, but when it comes down to the advancements of technology, China is already there. So the arguments that, oh, this, this building of this complex suggests that China wants to develop its, uh, uh, an advanced, uh, nuclear war capabilities. Yeah, maybe they already did, and it's just, uh, but again, I'm just trying to provide you both sides of the arguments to highlight this. So, and, uh, so what the imagery analysts in the US National Geospatial Intelligence Agency— this is another intelligence within the intelligence community, that is, and this is where this image came from. This is a satellite image, uh, pertaining to this particular analysis that came from this office here. And, uh, uh, because what they're saying is they noticed about 100 cranes working across 5 square kilometer area to develop this underground infrastructure. Well, yeah, what do you expect? You know, China is going to move forward. So, and let alone the idea that within this aspect of the military dimension, that is The— it has been now concluded inside the government, our government, and, and those are from the undisclosed, or, and, uh, what's the word, uh, uh, non-public information. It's not classified, it's just not, not disclosed to the public. It has been disclosed that the U.S. cannot Yeah, cannot confront China alone. It's disclosed, and I have the link for it. Once again, it's just you need to know where to look for the information. This happened last August 2024 when the US National Defense Strategy Commission issued its annual report. Yeah, that is what it was, is which report that's focused on the sort of the challenges and the threats facing the US and ways to deal with them. Well, how can we deal with that when we are not even talking about the right policies to begin with? So here is the thing. This report, which I will provide you the link in the description later on, the report indicated that the risks surrounding Washington security at the present time are the greatest since the end of World War II. Well, look no further than now, for example, The recruitments, the military recruitments in the US is so down. No one, no one wants to enlist in the military because Americans are refraining from enlisting because you all know how the military establishment has become here in the US. So that is one of the reasons. So you'll think about if we can confront China alone How do we expect the, the, the, this military dimension or, or the military equation rather, it's gonna evolve only from our side? Ain't gonna work because the Chinese are moving forward whether we like it or not. This also coincided with particular one, one particular, uh, uh, aspects of it. And this one has to do with President Xi. Because this one coincided with his October 2024 speech, by which President Xi Jinping called on the country's forces to boost their readiness for a conflict. Another word, he's not advocating for war. Be prepared for a conflict. That is exactly what President Xi was saying. And this was only a few days after— you all remember in October, it was a major military drills that China conducted. So, so those are for a reason why certain statements are mentioned and certain, uh, uh, uh, uh, an analysis is provided to support the arguments, whatever their argument might be. In this case, it has to do with the preparation for China's military to ensure victory. It's because they are— they, Chinese policymakers, president, military, military commands, and so forth— they are seeing what's coming. I've been arguing there. I'm not surprised, and nor will I ever be, you know. I, I won't. It's because it's common sense. When you start to think about you are growing economically, when you're realizing the other party is going down, you're gonna have to ensure the security of that expansion. Has nothing to do with overtaking the world and all this nonsense. That's what we've been saying in the West, but it is what it is. So The geopolitical aspects of it. And of course, I am not— I'm gonna mention something else later on regarding the military. As a matter of fact, I'll go to it right now. Why, why not? This one has to do with the, uh, and I thought I had— yeah, it has to do with the Philippines. Why this might play a, a role into what we are talking about right now? Well, the reason being because Uh, the president of Philippines, Marcos Jr., which you'll be mistaken if you trust the guy, he's saying that he is offering a deal to China. And here is what he says, and I quote, stop sea aggression and I will return missiles to the US. And this was an article by Jim Gomez, which I will provide you the link of. I think Marcos is lying. Marcos is in no position to dictate the terms regarding the Typhoon missile system. I thought I had a picture of it. Uh, no, I don't. I thought I had the picture of the, uh, the Typhoon missile system, but you all know what it is. I shared it with you last time. So Marcos Is Marcos, in my opinion, is being directed to issue this statement? You know, as a matter of fact, I did find out, I did find out that the typhoon system which Philippines said and the US said that we have removed, except that the Philippines didn't say that it was removed to a different location. The US said we removed it to another location without disclosing that is. So, so this is what Marcos Jr. is saying now. The Philippines to remove US missile system if China ends coercive behavior. This is what President Marcos said to his government. Oh, the US will remove its system from the Philippines. So, and I even found out through a publication in France, so stating— this is what, where I found the coordination between Western media, because the narrative has to be conformed, the conformity of— so when you sell it to the masses, you all are on the same page, meaning Western media. This is what's been said in France.— and I am sure on behalf of the US. The US military has moved its Typhoon launchers, which can fire multi-purpose missiles up to 1,000 kilometers from— this is what Philippines didn't disclose, but the US is allowing this to be disclosed— the removal of these missiles from Logue Airfield in the Philippines to another location on the island of Luzon. So, and those are, by the way, to those who know the Typhoon missile system, those are Tomahawk cruise missiles. Do you think China doesn't have anything to counter that? This is one miscalculation, and, uh, the reason I wanted to mention this to you is within that military, uh, dimension that I talked about earlier. So, uh, the, the, uh, Philippines Now let me move to the geopolitical aspect. So, and what's interesting about all these dynamics, the interesting aspects of it has to do with this guy. This guy, the first day he came to office, was advocating for the support of Taiwan. Of course he changed his tone. He just disclosed that we do not support the independence of Taiwan. Oh, funny how you flip-flop. Where do you stand on the issue? So, but that's not what I'm going to focus on. I'm going to focus on what Foreign Minister of China, Mr. Wang Yi, what did he say during his first conversation with, uh, uh, uh, and he says, which trans— I'm, I'm providing the translation of it. I hope it is accurate because I don't read, uh, or speak Chinese. So the, the, the rough translation, it says this, and I quote, When Mr. Wanyi was talking to him, he said, "You need to behave yourself," end of quote. To those my viewers who are familiar with the Chinese culture, you know what it means. This expression is commonly used in China. Why? This is to convey two things. One is expectation of responsibility responsibility for your behavior, per se. And second one is to— as a warning. So, and here is— because to me, what it was— what was it? This is where Mr. Juan E., the, the guy who's been around long enough— you're not going to compare Mr. Juan E. to Marco Rubio. There is no comparison. Simple as that. Here's the thing. Because what Mr. Wanyi said, I hope, and I quote, I hope you will act accordingly, end of quote. And once again, I need to highlight this because you need to understand the cultural relevance of the term was highlighted by experts. In this case, those who are familiar with the Chinese culture, people in position of power, like for example professors Like supervisors frequently use this term to demand what? It's not about fear, it's about accountability. And this is why a lot of analysts who are very familiar with the Chinese culture sort of characterized this as a combination of subliminal warning and expectancy. It is the same guy here. This is Marco Rubio, the same individual who said, and I quote, 'Oh, we have our commitments to our allies in the region and serious concerns over China's coercive actions against Taiwan and in the South China Sea,' end of quote. So see, see the double standard? I, I just wanted to highlight to you this aspect from a geopolitical, uh, lenses here. And this is why later on Mr. Rubio had to reverse his stance. Oh, the US will pursue a relationship with Beijing, and this is what he's saying, that advances— it's just a lot. It gets under my skin when people are hypocrites. I just don't like it. And, and usually if I find anybody that's acting hypocritically in front of me, I'll tell them to their face, stop being hypocritical and tell me what you need to say. Because that's exactly what Marco Rubio is doing when he's saying, yeah, we also need to pursue our relations with Beijing, but that advances our interest and puts the American people first. What a bunch of baloney, end of quote. By the way, since when Narco cared about American people. And if you care about American people, you're not going to go and foment more tensions with North Korea, more tensions with Iran, more tensions with China in South China Sea, and pushing, pushing the South Koreans, the Japanese, the Australians, the Filipinos into the front line. So it just doesn't make sense. Make sense. Just doesn't, you know. And this, this is what concerns me the most. And I think the reason why China decided to move forward publicly by announcing this— yeah, China could have kept going on this. Of course, satellite is going to pick up some images here and there. So what? We're just building stuff. And when I was there in China, when I went to Guangzhou, and I had to go out in the outskirts a little bit just to see I saw massive cranes and constructions, and, and I said, I hope I'll come back here next year and I'll see this building finished. Because here is the sad reality. There are— to those who are familiar with Dallas, there's the 635, the major highway. What— this construction that's been there for 5 years has not finished yet. 5 years. So So when, when, when China is announcing the, uh, the, the, uh, construction of this, uh, mag— of, of this size building that is 10 times the size of the Pentagon, I can understand what are they thinking about. I know, rightly so. It's because you can't trust the Americans as to what they're saying, and China understand, understand what's coming, what lies ahead. This is why they wanted to ensure that their economic developments, it's not going to be choked through blocking certain key points like the Malacca Strait. And this is why you're seeing the economic developments in this part of the world, from Thailand and Laos to Vietnam and Cambodia and Indonesia and so forth. You got the idea. And Malaysia as well, Famiat. They are thinking ahead strategically. They are thinking ahead. Uh, will it have the, the nuclear resistance? Yes, of course. So that's just part of what that vision the Chinese is thinking about, because it's no different than what we did after World War II. Why all of a sudden now when China's doing it is bad and we did it was right? And as a matter of fact, this is one thing I will agree— yeah, this might surprise you guys— this is one thing I will agree with Narco Review. You know what I agree with is that the system, the, the, the, uh The post-World War II, okay, the post-World War II world order is no longer just and fair. This is what he's saying, and is an outdated system but has now become a weapon used against us. Well, hold on a second, hold on a second, Narco. Why is it become a weapon used against us? Because we abused it. When you look at, for example, sanctions, how many we've been sanctioning, do you think people's gonna just sit idle forever? So they're not using that against us. They are seeking alternatives. It's just the choice of words, very manipulative. I'm gonna repeat this quote. The post-World War II world order is no longer just an outdated system but has now become a weapon used against us. No, we created that. We fomented those tensions by design. We are now provoking the Chinese in the South China Sea. We are creating tensions for Europeans, but Europe is so weak anyway, you can't You can't count on the Europeans. I mean, it'll be interesting now to see what Denmark is going to do. Are they going to take stand, or they going to bow to the US? Excuse me. No different than what I see the geopolitical landscape taking place in West Asia, with now you have a, a terrorist who's taking over a government in Syria. You have now the military militias inside Iraq are changing their tone and saying US American, you American forces needs to be out. You look at Egypt now just being like whatever, Jordan, whatever. So when, when, when Narco is saying, oh, this now, this system is used against it because we abused it. We abused that power that's been given, that we have acquired. I mean, even Europe, it's, it's, it's a clear indication for what it is. So the Chinese do not want to sort of wait to the last minute because they know what's coming. When you consider the tensions that exist quietly between the US, as a matter of fact, What's today? It's today, Saturday. Yeah, today is Saturday, right? Yes, it is. I can't keep track of days. Today, by the way, guys, the US will enter into effect the tariffs on Canada, 25%, on Mexico, 25%, and China, 10%.

It's today.

So why will Chinese be sort of nice about and move on, move on. If you have nothing to talk to us about in a fair manner on an equal footing, then we got nothing to do. We're going to move forward. So anyway, this is what I wanted to share with you guys. Just wanted to— you to— wanted to provide you my insights about, uh, what's going on with this structure that China is in the process of building that is gonna be about 10 times the size of the Pentagon. Yeah, this is not about China's wanted to take over the world as some have claimed in Washington, but you all know what it means is because they wanted to push the narrative. That's all it is. So there is no other, uh, explanation to that one. So, all right. Uh, let me, uh, say thank you to Rafael. Uh, go on. Thank you very much for your support as always. Uh, Prof, for me, China made sure she establishes 360 security around her. Now the outside perimeter and extended security, they hire Russia to do it. Smart move. This is where that strategic alliance comes in, except that China and Russia did not sign any, uh, sort of the military, uh, uh, treaty that you and I understand. Unlike what they did with Iran, unlike what they did with North Korea, they have not done that with China yet. You know, I argued this in my book, uh, uh, for the, uh, the, the Russian book that I wrote, uh, I argued that it's just a matter of time. It's just a matter of time because the geopolitical landscape fluctuates faster than you can even imagine. You know, and that's why I always, when I write, I write in the future, in, in anticipation of what I see on the horizon might be coming. That is the reason why. So, so that is a good point, Rafael, and I couldn't agree more. It makes more sense. And, uh, to China, it has to protect, uh, its— the economic development it reached. So this is one of the reasons also why I wanted to go back to Asia next time. So please guys, make sure to support the channel for this. At the end of the month, uh, next— this month, yeah, or the first week of March, I'm going to disclose to you the target number as far as how much I will need for this trip based on the locations that I, I'm going to be mapping out everything. We'll talk detail without disclosing what I'm going to be exactly. You all know how it is. I I don't need to beat the dead horse, but I am very, very grateful for your kind support. Once again, uh, what's his name? Laval, uh, uh, Rafael, thank you so much. Once again, I appreciate you.
