China Conducts EMP Tests

China Conducts EMP Tests With Concerning Results

John Mills

EMP is the Boogeyman lurking on the sidelines of the showdown between the PRC and the US led world systems.

Electro-Magnetic Pulses (EMP) caused by airborne nuclear blasts have been a concern since the height of the Cold War. The EMP surge could potentially knock out all electronics over a vast area of the United States.

China just conducted a test (see article below). This is not good on several possible angles. The test could have the following implications

- China prepping for first strike

- China has figured out EMP protection on its own equipment

- China has done realistic test and come to the conclusion that EMP affects are not what some have made them out to be, which could encourage a first strike

- The Intelligence Community has been reporting China has 500 nuclear warheads for years and now suddenly says they can have 1,000 by 2030. I would suggest both numbers are significant undercounts

Nuclear Attack On China — Scientists Conduct Doomsday Experiment; Test Resilience Of Beijing’s Comm System

In response to escalating global nuclear tensions, Chinese scientists have reportedly conducted a doomsday experiment to assess the resilience of their communication equipment and determine its ability to withstand such a scenario.

Chinese researchers have subjected data link hardware to a “doomsday” test, according to a report by the South China Morning Post. The experiments, which exceeded standard military specifications, aimed to ensure China’s ability to maintain crucial communications in the event of a nuclear strike.

Engineers involved in the project stated that the equipment was pushed far beyond current military standards during the trial.

It’s important to consider that China is a signatory to the no-first-use policy regarding nuclear weapons.

Therefore, the experiment’s objective was to ensure that communication systems remain functional should the country face a nuclear strike, allowing China’s retaliatory forces to survive an initial assault.

According to the report, researchers simulated a scenario in which a nuclear explosion occurs in the stratosphere—known as a high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) attack—to determine whether their equipment could withstand the devastating effects such an explosion would create.

A representative from the PLA Air Force equipment department was present to observe the test, though the exact date remains classified.

Standard military guidelines in both China and the U.S. stipulate that any HEMP-proof equipment must operate after exposure to an electric field of 50 kilovolts per meter.

However, for this experiment, as reported by the South China Morning Post (SCMP), Chinese researchers increased this threshold to 80 kilovolts per meter to simulate the electromagnetic pulses generated by a nuclear explosion.

As noted in the report, the findings were published in a peer-reviewed paper in the Chinese academic journal Wireless Communication Technology in September.
