China is gearing up for all-out war by readying a disturbing trove of mind-melting weapons, experts have warned. It’s feared Xi Jinping’s regime could use the chilling weapons to target Taiwan’s forces in the event of an invasion.
We reported last year on developments inside China’s People’s Liberation Army which pointed to the terrifying new tech.
Xi’s forces are thought to be looking at cognitive and biological weapons – designed to make their enemies fall asleep, impair alertness and damage decision-making.
Now, China experts have spoken to The Sun about the development of the game-changing weapons – and warned of a “terrible, brave new world”.
John Lee, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute and a former national security adviser in the Australian government, said the new weapons are designed to “defeat the enemy’s mind”.
Because “secrecy and transparency” forms a big part of Chinese policy, it is difficult to judge where exactly the regime might be at in developing these weapons, he said.
But Lee added that there is evidence to suggest the Chinese People’s Liberation Army is producing them.
And security expert Professor Anthony Glees told The Sun the threat of such formidable tech should be “taken very seriously indeed”.
He said: “Microwaves can be used to cause cognitive fog, dizziness, loss of balance, anxiety and nausea as a weapon.
“They could be aimed at a single specific target, say Taiwan’s military control HQ.”
