Jeremy Fleming, head of Britain's cyber-intelligence agency isn't pulling his punches about the CCP.


9 News: (Fleming claims) China sees other countries "as either potential adversaries or potential client states, to be threatened, bribed or coerced".

Australia being one of the vassal states.

China is seeking to fragment the infrastructure of the internet to exert greater control .. (and exploiting) digital currencies used by central banks to snoop on users' transactions and as a way of avoiding future international sanctions of the sort imposed on Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.

Dan has made this point several times.


Fleming also argues that China's BeiDou satellite system — an alternative to the widely used GPS navigation technology — could contain "a powerful anti-satellite capability, with a doctrine of denying other nations access to space in the event of a conflict".

That's an interesting one. People are living in la-la land if they think the internet is going to continue on uninterrupted in a war. In fact cyber-war might be the war.
