Made in China - a perspective!

Covid-19 is a Bio weapon.

The way the things are panning out is indicative that Covid-19 is a bio weapon. The following are discernible :-

  (a) Initial info curbed by China.
  (b) Then followed the media release that it was caused by eating bats.
  (c) The epicenter is in Wuhan, where they have a bio weapon facility.
  (d) Game plan was in place.
  (e) Multiple 1,000 bed prefab hospitals set up in a very short time. Thousands of medical personnel
       mobilised.
  (f) Huge quantity of special equipment mobilised in a very short time.
  (g) Intense measures used to control population.
  (h) By 20 Mar Covid-19 controlled in China.

Obviously, there was a battle plan in place and that was activated. On the other hand, the rest of the world has been handed a sucker punch in the stomach.

Major economic setback has been inflicted; all economic activity has been crushed, as world nations struggle to cope.

Now, China will emerge as a major economic power. At low cost it has inflicted a major blow and is many steps closer to world dominance, which is its aim. A country which could kill over 5 million of its own people in its cultural revolution is not gonna bat an eyelid if it has to sacrifice a couple of thousands, as has happened now.

The Chinese WHO play was to ensure that the export of virus to other countries carries on unhindered. So no pandemic declaration, no embargo on flights, no screening. Now the entire world is locked down, less China.

The Chinese believe in total dominance not co-existence like our civilisation. All their actions are oriented towards projection of hard power, military or economic unlike India which has strong belief in the strength of soft power.

Now we wait for the next Chinese move, as we struggle to overcome the major damage that the Chinese virus has inflicted on us in terms of morale and confidence, current and future economic states. The world must unite to tackle the contagion and the Chinese game plan. China must pay for :-

  * the corona virus.
  * the corona virus pandemic.
  * the China virus.

In the Army they teach you to look out for 'battle indicators'. They are pointers to the adversary's intentions and plans. An examination of battle indicators helps identifying enemy's future plans and in formulating our own counter plans.

The Battle Indicators.

 (a) Unusual suppression of info and execution of a deception plan. All measures were taken by
       China to suppress info leak on Covid-19 to include expulsion of western journalists. A deception
       plan was activated that it was bat-eating-related issue emanating from the local meat market.
       China failed to share info with the world till it was too late to prevent spread.

 (b) China leaned heavily on the WHO to prevent it being declared a pandemic. Lack of restrictions,
       thereby, lead to spread across the world. Delayed declaration is akin to shutting the stable door
       once the horse has bolted.

 (c) Deployment of multiple 1,000 bed hospitals. While it is a commendable feat, it is not possible
      without deep preparation. No country has such prefab hospitals lying stored around to be
      deployed in 10 days flat. We are struggling to create isolation wards out of soldiers' barrack
      accommodation. The Chinese response was too pat and army based.

 (d) Special equipment and clothing. No country or army has hazmat suits and other special
       equipment, robots etc readily available in the numbers observed on media in China. Even their
       defogging personnel were in hazmat suits. Compare this with the rest of the world.

 (e) Population control measures. Very strict measures were implemented. It was a planned
      deployment of resources based on police and army. Force was used ruthlessly as what was
      apparent in the media. This was not a panic resultant administrative response. There was a plan
      in place.

 (f) Now that the virus is having a free run across the world and China having stamped it down, it
      is now in the pole position. Economies will suffer immensely. China will step in to support and
      build up markets for its goods. If western leadership weakens, they will not be able to resist.

The Chinese resurgence. Western power projection, both military and economic, will suffer. China benefits.

There has to be a coordinated counter plan based on mutual support.

This may not be the last bio weapon!

Got up on the dot at 6 and wished Rema, many happy returns as it was her birthday by the English calendar. Went through the chores and was ready on time. A quiet and warm Saturday.
