This is the Chinese narrative about what happened to the USS Connecticut submarine. They disagree with the United States. Who said that it collided into an undersea mountain. Instead they say that they damaged it intentionally to prevent the nuclear reactor from irradiating the Chinese shoreline.
Right, have to consider this guy’s conditions, like the fact you never really leave the intelligence community even if you are ‘retired’. Some of his analysis in areas are weak, like one article I saw he pinned on Confucianist tradition what was obviously influenced by diamat. That struck me as odd someone living in CN wouldn’t have picked up on by now. For me diamat’s like lao gan ma chili, if you didn’t grow up with it and get exposed to it you’re going to use it on everything.
