Then you all may have seen, Russia came out and said that the International Space Station (ISS) is in such awful shape that it may not even last until twenty-twenty-five, when it's supposed to be decommissioned in twenty-twenty-five. They said they don't even know if they can, you know, keep it running. And of course, as I reported on China Tech News Flash!, the Americans never let the Chinese onto the International Space Station, for supposedly military secrets and all that, you know, testing bean sprouts in space and mushrooms in space. And so, it never really was truly international. It was always Western. And they let people in as they wanted - enemy states not allowed.

And then right after that, China lands their lunar module on the Moon.

And they were actually nice enough to put a little robot camera that went out away from the module and taking pictures, movie pictures of this explorer taking samples, two kilograms of Moon rocks and dirt samples, packed them up. And then you could sit there and watch the little rocket from the top with the two kilograms go shoot off into space. It perfectly connected with the satellite, the reentry vehicle, it's coming back and it's going to land somewhere, probably out in Xinjiang.

And so now China has Moon rock samples.

Now you can argue all you want. We can have a wonderful debate. But if you read Dave McGowan's book, Wagging the Moondoggie (Wagging the Moondoggie: Part I | The Center for an Informed America), you know, I don't think we ever went to the Moon back in the 1960s, but that's another story. So, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, China will now have the first Moon rocks.

And so, you know, and they've already done their Mars thing and now NASA is trying to compete with them, but it's tough. I mean, it is, you know, it's China. China Tech is relentless. And then just this week. This is Sunday, so it was just last week: China announced that they had - I already reported about this on China Tech News Flash! - a quantum computer. But now, China has gotten their quantum computer to actually use real atoms to do computational problems.

And what's amazing, and I didn't get into what the difference was with Google, but Google has their quantum computer. But apparently now it is Number Two, now Google is behind China in terms of quantum computers.

Not only that, but, Google's quantum computer, which is now not as good, also has to be kept, the entire system has to be kept at near absolute zero - minus two hundred and seventy degrees Celsius - whatever that is in Fahrenheit, minus four hundred and something. The new Chinese quantum computer, the entire system only has to be kept at minus 20 degrees, which is your deep freezer. So, you've got your freezer and you put your quantum computer in your freezer. The only part that they have to store at near absolute zero is the actual little processor in the middle. Unbelievable.

And then, you know, Huawei is going into cars. I mean, they're unstoppable.

In fact, I will I'll post a graph here, just to show you where Huawei is in sales. The West can't deal with 5G without Huawei. I mean, they are going to have to use Huawei. I think there's a lot facts, I've been speculating that all these delays, like France is saying, "Well, in two-thousand-twenty-eight and two-thousand-twenty-five, you know, we'll have to remove all of our equipment. Well, who's looking?

By the way, just to let you know where we are here in France, you know, modern France. This week, in 2000, December of twenty-twenty, we finally got cable. Up until now we were using, we were being forced to use an ADSL copper telephone line for our Internet.

This is supposedly in technologically advanced West.

And in Bayeux, the prefectural capital, like the county seat, is only seven kilometers from us. That's a big town. I mean, it's the county seat and at least half, if not three fourths of the town doesn't even have fiber or cable.

So, you know, you just you're sitting there (thinking about) 5G. Well, China, just two or three weeks ago launched a 6G satellite! So, China is already moving into 6G, which is terahertz instead of megahertz, with terahertz being a trillion hertz instead of a million.

What's the West doing?

Well, NATO is occupying Afghanistan so that they can process all the heroin and ship it back to Europe and ship it back to the United States and push it into all the poor minority neighborhoods. They're in Iraq, stealing Iraq's oil, they're in Syria, stealing Syria's oil. And you can't do it" You can't do everything. And so, the United States alone, not even to mention Europe, is borrowing a trillion dollars a year to maintain their global empire, and you can't do it all.
