China's military purge: Are Chinese missiles filled with water?


After more than a dozen senior Chinese military officials were removed from office in just the last week of December and a slew of further reaching corruption charges, dismissals, and even a mysterious death or two massed throughout the rest of 2023, it has become evident that something is seriously wrong in the highest echelons of China’s…

  1. Dear Alex Love your Program! Just a little factoid that may help. " Guan Shui" literally "Fill water " is a Chinese blanket slang term used to describe replacing any material with cheaper substandard material to increase your profit margin.

  2. In a rare revelation, Beijing has admitted that its 2.4-kilometer Three Gorges Dam spanning the Yangtze River in Hubei province “has had a major Deviation in the damn wall after record flooding.

    The official Xinhua News Agency quoted the operator of the world’s largest hydroelectric gravity dam as saying that some structural, peripheral parts of the dam had buckled Causing huge concern

  4. You may also want to ponder that possibly North Korea was given missiles that don’t have the best fuel or the best technology. Don’t forget China will always look at North Korea as a potential problem to the world and of course to them also China does not trust North Korea.

  5. China attempted to hack Russian telecommunications and data collection in response. Russia disabled many of their telecommunication notes, which would give them access to missiles update of sensitive electronic equipment in tanks, submarines and ships. They are each trying to screw the other over and on the surface. they are buddy buddy this is something that will come to the surface in the near future.

  6. There are many many issues regarding the Chinese military and the maintenance of equipment. They are still formidable, but here is one of the issues there’s central control doesn’t understand how much of the nuclear missile system is connected. I mean they’re unaware of the physical connections how to test them and every now and then they have a significant failure. They started with a flawed communication format. That is not flexible they were trying to make it hack proof And have produce the system that they have difficulty accessing ping doesn’t have any knowledge of how this stuff works and he’s selected individuals who know the same as he does so they are living and dying off of the individuals who have set this up. Many of them have been purged over the last 10 years.

  7. Yes, there is no corruption in democratic countries, and political donations cannot be considered corruption! A standard specification screw worth tens of thousands of dollars is also reasonable because it is a democratic country!

  8. Regardless of whatever corruption etc is happening China CANNOT invade Taiwan for one reason and that's because they don't have the necessary landing craft and transport/resupply vessels to cross the Taiwan Straight. Look at the logistics and monumental amount of equipment the allies needed just to cross English Channel

  9. Militaries use solid-fuel missiles.
    Reports of water replacing rocket fuel seem like disinformation.
    China's ICBMs may use liquid fuels but those tanks would normally be empty except for testing.
    Liquid Hydrogen, Liquid Oxygen, and other highly corrosive rocket fuels cannot be stored safely or economically in the missile.
    China may use water to test the pumps, tanks, sensors, and hoses of their missiles (you can't fix stupid).

  10. China´s corruption at all levels is well known even overseas but prostitution of women just to escalate in their work status has been disconsidered though it´s been revealed in is proportion by few channels.

  11. OK, some 101s on the rocket fuels – rocket/missile fuels can be broadly classified into solid fuels & liquid fuels.

    Solid fuels, which are basically big solid cylinders of chemicals, are used in most of Chinese ballistic missiles. They are highly toxic. And it is difficult to swap out with water. And then there is the question – Other than the military, who would pay money for these highly toxic, highly explosive chemicals?

    Liquid fuels, which are mainly used in cruise missiles, are essentially very special kerosene, just like the RJ-4, JP-9, and JP-10 used in US missiles. Yes, they can be swapped out with water. However, there is very limited civilian use for these highly specialized kerosene – you certainly can't use them in the cars. Since they are essentially specialized jet fuels, the airlines may be able to use them, theoretically.

    But all the airlines in China, except two, are state-owned, why would the airline executives go through all the lengths to use stolen jet fuels? Their comps & perks are not tied to the bottom lines of the airlines and they don't have stock options. Yes, using stolen jet fuels might help shave a few million dollars off the operating costs of the airlines, but is it really worth their lives? What is it in it for the airline executives personally? And it is also complex maneuverer because it certainly takes more than one person to cover all the tracks.

    Yes, there is surely corruption in PLA, but PLA officials stealing rocket fuels? Whom would these PLA officials sell the stolen rocket fuels to? When you start thinking about it just a bit, you will see holes in the story that are so big that you can drive a truck through them…

    And yet it was reported by a major western media and so many people just bought it at face value… I guess the "critical thinking" much touted by the West is really over-rated.

  12. So, to your final point about purging corruption within the Chinese military… I'll say this: Historically, "purges" of this type do not work. Purges tend to produce even more perverse incentives. What happens when you have unrealistic expectations, and you'll die if you don't meet those expectations? Most people will find a way to lie about fulfilling those expectations. That kind of "purge" is exactly what's happening here.

  13. China's deeply rooted corruption is endemic of cultures driven by aggressive political ideologies at odds with a populace angry over consumer shortages … such a society is unstable and ripe for collapse.
