China's new missile is locked on to the US
And could carry a nuclear warhead

The People's Liberation Army has just test-fired
a powerful new missile that can hit the US!
...territory of Guam.
That's still a big deal.
The missiles can fly 3400 miles
and carry nuclear or conventional warheads.
Not that the Chinese Communist Party would ever actually attack Guam.
Mostly because it would be a tragedy
to destroy the last place on Earth where everyone still loves Kmart.
But also because the Communist Party's military development
is only for peaceful purposes to defend its sacred territorial integrity.
It's just a coincidence the missile,
the DF-26
has also been dubbed "Guam Killer."
It's also a coincidence that Chinese state-run media
released footage of the missile tests
shortly after the United States has been
sending in warships through the South China Sea.
That's part of freedom of navigation exercises
that challenge the Chinese regime's perfectly reasonable
territorial claims in the area.
Those territorial claims being all of the area.
And at the start of the year,
the PLA put the new DF-26 in position
that could theoretically sink US warships in those waters.
But CNN had the audacity
to question whether or not those missiles
could actually hit anything.
Now this missile has never actually been used in combat
so we don't know it's true capabilities.
Well China may have built a missile,
but it's CNN that's throwing bombs!
So the Chinese state-run media apparatus
got underway to prove that CNN is just fake news.
CCTV released this epic, stylish propaganda video
showing that the DF-26 Guam Killer totally works.
And my Shazam is telling me
that music is from the first Transformers movie.
Now sure, the video doesn't actually show
whether the missile can hit a moving target.
Or, really if it can hit anything.
Really, for all we know this is a standard ballistic missile launch.
But I mean, when would Chinese state-run media ever lie to us?
The Global Times even made a point of calling out CNN's fake news.
And tweeted the video at them.
CNN is going to need some ice for that burn.
Trade talks between the US and China have resumed.
The two countries are in the middle
of a 90-day reprieve in the trade war,
where there's a shot at working things out.
If no agreement is made, on March second,
the Trump administration will hit China
with an additional 25% tariff
on 200 billion dollars worth of Chinese goods.
So how are the talks going?
According to CNBC,
"People familiar with the talks and trade experts watching them
say that, so far, there has been little indication
that Chinese officials are willing to address
core U.S. demands to protect American intellectual property rights
and end policies that Washington says
force U.S. companies to transfer technology to Chinese firms."
But according to the Wall Street Journal,
"Chinese officials said
they have already taken concrete steps
toward reform, citing more liberal rules
for foreign competitors in sectors
such as autos and financial services,
and tougher enforcement of intellectual property."
Although Chinese leaders have made promises of reform before.
And on our recent podcast of China Unscripted,
we talked about how hard reform really is.
The way the Chinese Communist Party runs things,
even private companies have to follow its political objectives.
So it's next to impossible for the Communist Party
to actually reform or deal with most of the issues
the US is concerned about,
without giving up a lot of its own power.
To drive home that point,
FBI Director Christopher Wray,
at a US Senate committee hearing on Tuesday,
said the lines between
"the Chinese government and ostensibly private companies"
are blurred if not totally erased and
"especially the lines between lawful behavior
and fair competition and lying and hacking and cheating and stealing."
Basically, we're trying to play basketball,
and the Chinese regime is playing no-rules jungle ball.
Speaking of private Chinese companies
that have to follow political objectives:
Huawei, China's biggest telecom company.
In December, Canadian authorities arrested Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou.
She faces extradition to the US for allegedly violating US sanctions on Iran.
Well on Monday, the US announced 23 criminal charges
against Meng and Huawei.
Meng was personally charged with bank fraud, wire fraud,
and conspiracies to commit bank and wire fraud.
Plus, Huawei itself was charged with
technology theft, bank fraud, obstruction of justice, and money laundering.
And right before the trade talks,
Meng made her first public appearance in more than a month
in a Canadian court.
Canada now has a month to decide
whether the US's formal extradition request is strong enough.
During Tuesday's hearing,
the judge delayed the next hearing by a month, to March 6th.
I mean, why deal with something now,
when you can put it off till later?
But for a brief moment,
it looked like Canada may have been caving
to the Chinese regime on the Huawei case.
At least that was the impression given
by Canadian ambassador to China John McCallum.
"'As I was saying, I think Ms. Meng has quite a strong case.'
McCallum then laid out in some detail
why he believed a Canadian judge would reject a US request to extradite Meng."
And as Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland said,
that's a problem.
"Ambassador McCallum's comments
were inconsistent with the position of the government of Canada.
The first and foremost job of any ambassador of our country
is to express accurately our government's position."
McCallum later apologized,
and told the Canadian newspaper The Star that he misspoke.
But then right after, he opened up his mouth again
and promptly inserted his foot.
"McCallum told a reporter that it would be great for Canada
if the US dropped the extradition request
once again suggesting it would not be the rule of law
that would decide the issue, but some political horse trading."
And then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
told Ambassador McCallum, "You're fired."
I think Trudeau just wanted to impress Donald Trump.
Anyway, former Canadian ambassador to China,
David Mulroney, said McCallum's comments were "mind boggling."
But this is what the Chinese Communist Party is good at—elite capture.
That means getting influential foreigners
to support the Chinese regime's approach to issues,
and then push those agendas in their countries.
In fact, former Ambassador to China David Mulroney
knows a lot about elite capture.
In an email to the Star, Mulroney wrote
"China is amazingly successful at convincing people,
including seasoned diplomats,
that the most important thing in the world
is maintaining good relations with China."
"By this they generally mean not commenting
or otherwise reacting to something egregious that China has done."
"They"—the Chinese regime—"persuade people
by playing to their vanity,
making them believe that their unique understanding of China
is evidenced by their ability to keep things calm and untroubled.
They do this because it works — for China."
That's ridiculous.
I mean, I have a unique understanding of China.
I'm also vain!
Why hasn't the Chinese regime tried to elite capture me?
In McCallum's case,
he apparently received more than 73,000 Canadian dollars
worth of trips to China when he was a member of parliament.
I guess that was a good investment.
Of course, my favorite Chinese state-run media, the Global Times,
had its own unique take on the matter.
The real political interference
was McCallum getting fired
for saying there should be political interference in Meng's case.
"Ottawa is now as sensitive as a frightened bird."
A frightened bird?
Doesn't the Global Times know he's a shiny pony?
"Justin Truuuuuuudeau!"
"He's wearing liberal red, of course.
I call him the Shiny Pony.
He looks like he's in some sort of zen yoga trance."
And it's not just the Global Times spewing hot air.
According to a new study,
China has not actually honored its commitment to cut methane emissions.
The Communist Party not honoring its commitments!
I'm shocked!
Shocked I tell you!
In fact, "Not only were the reductions not made,
but Chinese methane emissions actually increased
by 1.2 million tons per year during the five-year period."
So...I guess we now know the answer to this question.
If you've been watching the show,
you know my two great loves are anime...
and communism.
Well now, Chinese authorities have finally combined
my two great loves into one single monstrosity!
A Chinese anime TV series about the life and times...of Karl Marx.
So young and handsome.
I would gladly redistribute all my capital for a chance to see that!
And before we go, now is the time when I answer questions from you,
my loyal 50-cent army
fans of the show who support what we do
through the crowd funding website Patreon.
Charlie Matsubara asks,
"Assuming CCP has learned its data fudging lesson
from the Great Leap Forward.
What negative consequences might there be
for fudging GDP numbers?
Does China's tax revenue numbers give
an better idea of its real economic growth?"
Great question, Charlie.
China recently released its official GDP growth figures
for the last quarter of 2018.
It was 6.4%, the lowest in 28 years.
But as even Chinese Premier Li Keqiang once admitted,
Chinese GDP figures are manmade and therefore unreliable.
So the GDP numbers are made up,
but you probably can't get better insight
from China's tax revenues, either.
Because those numbers are not made available
to the public or to reporters.
What a surprise.
So maybe China's economy is doing okay.
Or maybe it's on the verge of absolute collapse
and it's going to take down the global economy with it.
No one knows!
I mean, we can kind of guess,
but no one really knows.
But this is how the Communist Party functions.
It would rather cover up problems now, to make it through the day.
What happens in the future, is a problem for the future.
And that means: They really know how to live in the present;
it's a beautiful thing.
Thanks for you question, Charlie.

7 Puppies Keep Stealing Breast Milk From Their Next-Door Neighbor | Kritter Klub - Duration: 4:22.
uwuuuu
7 siblings
They're angels
Marching to the beat of their own drum
They go next door to get breastfed.
Excuse me
Mother?
What are you doing here?
They're Hyori's puppies
They were were born a day apart from Dambi's puppies
Hyori is breastfeeding both her and Dambi's puppies?!
Poor Hyori..
Kang Dambi!!
Take care of your puppies
Puppy neglect?
Mom, we want your milk
How can you resist such cuteness
Dambi doesn't take care of her puppies
Maybe because she's an immature mom
Dogs just wanna have fun
Mom don't curr
Mom joins in on the fun
What is all this? What's going on?
Kang Dambi, explain yourself.
How can you eat at a time like this?
Look at her face. I digress
They make trouble when I'm not there to supervise
Naughty dogs
That hurts
Dambi~ Take care of your puppies
In my feelings
Dambi lacks breast milk
She's tired from breastfeeding for 3 more weeks than she should
The dog has teeth!
It was past due for the puppies to get off the breast milk
Mom got hurt in the process
No wonder she was avoiding them
Dambi needs to have her space
The puppies also need space to run around
Playpen for the puppies to release their pent-up energy
Now even when mom comes
The puppies don't ask for milk anymore
For Dambi to live comfortably
And for the puppies to run around
I'll watch over them

How Accurate Are Fuel Economy Estimates? | Consumer Reports - Duration: 3:31.
[SNAP]
We've all had that feeling-- the gas gauge headed towards empty.
The mileage you expect to get from your car is a big deal.
Gas is a significant expense, and we
want to be sure that the mileage estimates that come
with our cars are accurate.
Ryan Pszczolkowski, you put these figures to the test
here at Consumer Reports.
How do you do that?
We actually splice a super accurate fuel meter
into the fuel system of this vehicle.
That allows us to measure exactly how much fuel is
getting burned in this engine.
It's sending an electrical pulse up this wire,
and we run this wire into the cab, where we have a readout.
And the readout is showing us how much fuel is being used.
What do you say we go for a ride?
Oh, I'd love to.
I'm going to take you to the city course, where we
do city fuel economy testing.
This course mimics a city driving cycle.
So there's stop and go, different speeds.
Oh, like if there were lights at each corner.
Exactly.
We're trying to mimic a real world situation,
but on our closed track.
We get stop and go traffic, or some traffic in front of you
kind of speeds up, speeds down.
But we do the same speed every time we go around this course.
We're checking.
We're making sure that readout that's showing us
how much fuel the engine is using.
So how do you use that information?
We can convert that number to a mile per gallon number.
And there are times when we actually
see a different number.
And we had a few manufacturers had to change numbers
because we weren't getting what they were promising.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
MPG is a simple calculation.
You take the amount of miles driven divided
by the amount of fuel consumed.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
The stickers you see on many cars
actually have two fuel economy estimates.
One is for city, as we just saw, and the other
is for highway driving, which is where we're headed next.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So the track is big.
I mean, we have 327 acres.
We have all kinds of straightaways and tracks
and stuff.
But it's not big enough to do steady state 65 mile per hour
highway fuel economy testing.
For that, we actually come out on a real highway
and measure the amount of fuel we use in a certain distance
at 65 miles per hour steady state.
So now this machine will probably read different numbers
than the city ones.
Exactly.
Because on the highway, a vehicle
is actually more fuel efficient because now we're
in a higher gear.
When you stop and you take off, the motor has to rev up.
You're using more energy.
So once we're going, we have this momentum on the highway
that it's actually more fuel efficient.
OK, so what can you do to improve your car's fuel
consumption?
First, Ryan says you'll burn more fuel by going faster.
So if you reduce your speed from 65 to 55,
you could add an astonishing seven miles per gallon
on a mid-size car.
Avoid bursts of acceleration and braking.
And make sure your tires are properly
inflated by checking the sticker on the doorjamb or the owner's
manual.
So if I'm going to go buy a car, what
are the things that I should be looking for?
On the window sticker, there'll be the EPA number.
You can decide for yourself if that's
something you can, A, afford to drive,
and if that's the impact you want to make on the earth.
To have this big SUV is sometimes nice
because you can move all this stuff.
But if you're not going to use it to its fullest,
you're just wasting fuel.
And there some advice to fill your tank.

The Replicants are coming ! - Duration: 10:20.
One of the most popular ideas seen in science fiction is the idea of man creating replica
living organisms.
Exact copies of living or extinct animals and even people.
From the owl seen in blade runner and its human replicants, artificial copies, exact
in every detail only given away as being manufactured because of the way the lenses of the eyes
reflect light.
An unnatural flash of red all replicants' share, human and animal alike.
These replicants should not be confused with creations that have android bodies seen in
film like 'surrogates' and the new anime adaptation 'Alita Battle angel.'
I would say that idea of replacing the body with a mechanical one is a transhumanist dream.
What we are talking about here is life cloned, engineered and grown.
This is no longer only in the realms of fantasy it has become a reality.
Japanese microengineer Ken-Ichiro Kamei has created "bodies on a chip"
Let's take a look
Welcome to if ……………………………………………………….
This invention which has been given the slightly creepy name of "Bodies on a chip" acts
as stand in for living beings, created to cease the need to use living animals as test
subjects.
It was soon known that this technology could go a lot further inspiring new cures for rare
diseases and even providing the means to resuscitate dead species
The chip is a made up of a crystal-clear silicone rubber layer which contains faintly visible
troughs and channels.
This biotech is the first step on the path to replicate organs, systems and eventually
entire bodies on chips.
The chip contains an interconnected system of channels, valves and pumps these allow
for complex interactions which are capable of mimicking a living system.
Currently the chips only mimic particular tissues or organs, the end goal is to create
a chip or group of chips to replicate whole animals.
If that is not the same technology as seen in Blade runner I don't what else could
be?
The construction of these devices is also eerily similar to what is seen in the movie.
The microfluidic chips constructed in a lab, primarily using a laser cutter and a 3D printer.
So how do these "first steps on the road to replicants" work
Various types of cell tissue are added into the six chambers which are connected to micro-channels,
the chip is then connected to a pneumatic micro-pump to create circulation.
Currently the chip is then used to test the effects of drugs on the cells and develop
new therapies that lack unwanted side effects.
The technology can also be used to redesign cells.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells can be created from virtually any other type of cell in the
body.
Reprogrammed back into an embryonic-like pluripotent state this enables the development of an unlimited
source of any type of human cell needed for therapeutic purposes this including sperm
cells and eggs for fertility treatments, or any others in the body for pharmaceutical
trials.
The "bodies on a chip" will not only be used to improve human medicine; they could also
become a tool in animal conservation.
The creation of animal Stem cells used to create endangered species, these used as products
to satisfy market demand without capturing or killing real wildlife.
This reminds me of the tigers from Babylon A.D.
These iPS cells may be used to synthesize meat, welcome to a world of lab grown burgers,
meat consumption being a hotly debated topic at the moment.
Real money being thrown into the creation on non-animal based meat products this seen
as a way to alleviate inhumane treatment of livestock and the environmentally harmful
effects of factory farming.
In terms of species conservation and bringing back extinct animals the "Body on a chip"
technology has been hailed as miracle.
iPS cells open up a seemingly endless array of possibilities for species conservation.
Kazak Scientists are still struggling to understand why 200,000 saiga antelopes , over half of
the world's population, suddenly died from a bacterial infection in 2015, Tasmanian researchers
have been working for years to find a treatment for a contagious face cancer that is threatening
the survival of Tasmanian devils.
Genetic diversity can be banked and restored by turning cells into animals or by using
cellularly-based technologies to restore genetic variation, then there's less risk of extinction
Gorillas are prone to heart attacks, no one knows why, and no one has been able to provide
a fix.
"The chip could replicate a gorilla's heart helping identify what kinds of drug
and treatments will help them.
As with many medical advancements the creation of which is seen as advancement and something
that will be used for good, they often become twisted and corrupted.
I fear this chip could be the same, why spend time finding cures for these animals when
the possibility of using these chips create sperm and egg cells and just replicate them.
The northern white rhino – a subspecies of white rhino that is now reduced to just
two living individuals could be the first replicant creature.
Using frozen tissue samples from dead rhino's iPS cells will be made.
The iPS cells would, in turn, be made into egg and sperm cells to create viable, genetically
diverse embryos to then be implanted in to surrogate rhino mothers from a less endangered
group.
Many think that this is the only hope for saving this subspecies from extinction.
Regardless of the project's success, it will likely pave the way for similar species-saving
efforts in the future.
Then we have to answer the sticky question, are these replicas living things or products?
A question even more poignant as we are talking about a species that was hunted to the brink
of extinction due to the demand for its ivory.
Will we create replica rhino to meet the demands of this market?
This is being developed, laboratory grown ivory blocks that would be easy to manufacture
into hankos" – the name seals that account for 80% of ivory use in Japan- presenting
an alternative legal source for ivory goods.
We can see the early signs that this is creating a new market, those that hoped this technology
would alleviate the suffering of animals will see their creation perverted into a science
that has made life a commercial product.
Another worrying idea for the use of this new technology is in the field of behavioral
science.
Scientist are interested in using it to study how hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin
affect animal behavior and how gene function underlies behaviors.
This once again may start with animals but could the temptation to modify human behavior
be resisted?
This technology has yet more similarities with Blade runner.
The replicant humans in the movie were created to fight off world, to be sent out into space
and carry out dangerous tasks and fight on behalf of their human creators.
Ken-Ichiro says that his goals extend even higher – literally beyond the bounds of
earthly problems, all the way into space.
In the US, the National Center for Advancing Translational Science and the International
Space Station US National Laboratory already created a "Tissue Chips in Space" project
to test the effects of space on human cells and organs, and Kamei believes they could
be of equal value in ensuring animals can make a smooth transition to a post-Earth future.
"Humans won't be the only ones going into space – pets and livestock will, too,"
Kamei says.
"While I won't be going to Mars, it's my dream to help those who do."
We are at a real turning point in human history with this new technology, as with all technology
it is only a tool there is no inherent evil baked into its design, but the use is down
to mankind and history has given us many warning of new technology going awry.
We must be careful that devices like this do not devalue life, a lesson many science
fiction books movies and TV shows have tried to warn us about.
What do you think about this technology?
Do think that it is a good thing?
Are you worried it will become corrupted, and see the creation of a second class of
lifeform?

S. Korea's Supreme Court raises work expectancy age to 65 - Duration: 2:00.
South Korea's Supreme Court ruled in a damages lawsuit... that the work expectancy age, or
the legal age cap until which people are presumed physically capable of doing work, is now sixty-five.
That's an increase of five years.
The decision was made to get with the times, considering the country's rapidly aging population.
Choi Si-young explains further.
For thirty years, since 1989, the consensus was that people are physically fit to work
at full capacity until 60.
That's what the Supreme Court said at the time, but it's now raised that to 65.
The court based its decision on changing social and economic conditions.
First, a rise in the average life expectancy.
In 1989, it was 67 for men and 75.3 for women.
By 2017, that had changed to almost eighty and eighty-six, respectively.
Second, the average retirement age was 72 for men, and 72.2 for women from 2011 to 2016.
That's considered high among OECD countries.
Third, employment law says only seniors 65 or older are eligible for governmental assistance
to sustain life,... meaning the government thinks people younger than that can sustain
themselves.
Furthermore, the law says you have to be 65 or older to receive payments from the national
pension, starting from 2033.
The Court went on to say that more seniors are taking part in the country's workforce
overall.
According to Statistics Korea, as of 2017, seniors aged sixty-five and older make up
fourteen percent of the entire workforce.
And in 2016, six out of ten seniors aged sixty to sixty-four had a job.
The case the court ruled on Thursday started in 2015,... when a plaintiff sued a pool company
for the death of their 4-year-old child.
The plaintiff wanted compensation on the assumption that the child would have lived and worked
until the age of 65.
A lower court ruled that it should be 60, but the Supreme Court sided with the plaintiff.
