#ChineseSpyBalloon
1. As early as 2015, #CCP successfully flew its stratospheric airship "Yuanmeng (Dream)”.
It has continuous power, can monitor the ground 10 times better than satellites, act as a #wartime communication support & attack platform, and is difficult for missiles
2. and aircraft to reach & attack, according to this propaganda video.
Yuanmeng is the pronunciation of the Chinese word 圆梦, which means “a dream comes true”.
Hasn’t #XiJinping always talked about his “#ChinaDream”? The name of this stratospheric airship reflects
3. the #CCP’s “dream” to conquer the world.
You know what? While the West calls #ChineseSpyBalloon a “balloon”, the CCP has been using “#airship” (飞艇) to refer to the flying object that was shot down by the #US.
4. In 2015, the CCP successfully flew and retrieved its "#Yuanmeng (Dream)”. Do you think it won’t be able to control and fly a “#balloon” to the US 8 years later?
By the way, this #Yuanmeng (Dream) airship was jointly developed by #Beijing Nanjiang Air & Space Technology Co(北京南江空天科技股份有限公司) and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics(北京航空航天大学), according to this People's Daily report: scitech.people.com.cn/n/2015/1125/c1…

1. A very worrying issue shared by a #Chinese doctor: infected for the second time/repeated infection.
According to this doctor, their hospital beds are currently largely occupied by ppl with second infections. These patients' pain is 5-10 times worse than the first time.
2. Their immunity is extremely low, and many people rely on immunoglobulin infusions, which cost more than 800 yuan per dose. They need two infusions a day, spending 2,000 yuan for a one-day hospital stay. Don't listen to the experts on TV. After being infected, you can only have
