Yes. Anytime someone holds up the term former CIA should give us pause.
Here is another reason to question. The idea that China would have this level of technology is laughable; however, there are interests that want us to think they do. I will give you just two: 1) The CCP is good at propaganda that touts tech advancement far beyond what they actually possess and the world has believed it. 2) The DS here would also benefit from such balderdash to create a bogyman - it is great for business.
As a long term China watcher I seriously question the validity of the claims being made in this letter just based upon what I already know about China regardless of other issues brought up in this thread to be taken into consideration.
China can copy what they manage to steal. They are incapable of innovation and development of technologies that are sophisticated. What they do manage to copy is substandard and often fails in application, especially when it involves high tech beyond normal commercial manufacturing. They cannot build anything advanced that is not a pile of crap. They cannot even build a homegrown phone that is not junk. Anyone that takes the time to look at what they produce for their military will see how far behind they really are. (Just ask the Russians how well Chinese weapons, advanced precision machinery, and cars actually perform.) However, their propaganda tries to convince the world they possess technology on par with, or even beyond, what we have in the West. It is all a facade and all for show. The propaganda does not match the reality.
I could list a variety of well founded reasons why China could not possibly have the type of technology being discussed in this letter. So on that basis alone I call BS. So, the question now becomes why someone wants us to think that these assertions are somehow real.
True. That factor is only one among many that makes the idea of China having some advanced technology that works nearly impossible. Add to that the levels of corruption and there is no way. So I doubt there is any credibility to the letter. It could even be propaganda planted by the CCP to try to deceive us into thinking that they have something like that. It is almost laughable but people still buy it.
How can you be as stupid as Danny Jones and work for the CIA? Unless your Podcast was just set up by them to give people another avenue to peddle their stories…
He’s also a Scientologist I think. But he’s just so dumb.
If this was me, and I wanted to verify, I'd include several photos of myself in front of the screen or phone I wrote the email on. (Several just because of AI nowadays)
Saw the press conference earlier and it was an answer to reporter, don’t think they planned on releasing the news. Just saw an article. I agree, BUT it makes a whole hell of a lot more sense than everything else
I’d take it at face value only. The only verification he uses is his first vehicle. That can easily be looked up while crafting this.
Yea this is more smoke and mirrors...Shawn is also former CIA

The entire Chinese culture stifles any true innovation.
You can't have a society where kids are told to only think within certain guidelines and then expect them to be innovative as adults.

His podcast reminds me too much of Danny Jones. So much glo you can see it in the daylight.

There is that and his meteoric rise in the media.
There is that and his dark and soulless eyes.
Lol

How easily? Look up his second vehicle for us. I have no idea how tondo it but you say its easy so let's find it and see if this guy is a hack.
Law enforcement (and definitely the DS) would have the ability to easily look at registration data. Un(fortunately) I am neither.
Someone would had to have started crafting this 3 days (Sunday) before the bombing, though, right? Sam first got a text from this dude, on that day.
FBI just confirmed they thing it’s from him on MSM
Which means it’s total bullshit. And the FBI wrote it.
