China’s military is developing advanced psychological warfare and brain-influencing weapons as part of a new warfighting strategy, according to a think tank report on People’s Liberation Army cognitive warfare.
The new arms include biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-related disturbances in enemy troops. The goal is to impair cognition and alertness.

will seek cognitive manipulation and control of enemies.
Other weapons it is working on include “genetic drugs” — pharmaceuticals designed to modify the genetic and physiological makeup of people and seek to impact cognitive, emotional, and behavioral traits.
The concept of brainwashing was invented— by a CIA agent posing as a journalist— precisely because Westerners needed a way to reflexively dismiss the phenomenon whereby their own troops were being persuaded of communist ideas during communist captivity:
The idea of “brain-washing” can be credited to Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer and editor, who in 1950 started writing articles and books on the subject. His thesis was that Red China and the Soviet Union could control the minds of their respective citizenry— which explained how susceptible Americans captured on foreign soil would be. [11]
This new category, supposedly qualitatively different from normal ideology acquisition, itself turns out to be simply an ideological distinction without a difference.

"We helped the West get a good night's sleep and they will never forgive us for it" - Xi Jinping
Looking forward to being tranquilised by the PLA and fultoned away to Dengism motherbase to be made to read The Governance of China until I defect or whatever.
Me getting dropped off at the Dengist Motherbase, "Oh, no no I'm already with you on all of this. Do you guys have like an advanced course for people who are already communists but haven't finished reading Capital yet? Maybe some audiobooks for in the field?"
What is a thinktank anyway? They're websites that call themselves thinktanks that "publish" papers they make the fuck up every now and then.
They're totally bullshit organisations invented for the purposes of creating deniability for the state that something came from a third party and not from themselves. Despite the fact that states are funding the thinktanks they're "independent".
(a) Countering Chinese influence fund.
—There is authorized to be appropriated $300,000,000 for each of fiscal
years 2021 through 2025 for the Countering Chinese Influence Fund to
counter the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party globally.
Amounts appropriated pursuant to this authorization are authorized to
remain available until expended and shall supplement, not supplant,
amounts otherwise authorized to be appropriated to counter such
influence.

This is actually very true. I've fallen victim to Chinese sleep and mind control weapons myself. They hide it in the form of delicious Chinese food, but really it's a trick, and then suddenly after inducing a large amount of their "food" you begin to feel very sleepy. They get me every time, the bastards!
We need to be alert because I think the Chinese are sharing this weapon within their Axis of Evil too. I've sadly also been tricked using the mind control devices of seemingly delicious food and beautiful Korean women servers (spies!) to be manipulated into purchasing and consuming large amounts of weaponized Korean BBQ, which also induced the same sleep affliction.
The enemy is very cunning. Be careful, comrades. This is a war we cannot win.
"The insidious Chinese sleep weapon works in three steps: First they serve you a hot cup of cocoa, then they play you a lullaby and then they tuck you into bed" A real quote I just made up, which makes it as real as the rest of the article
Damn, "genetic drugs" sounds like such a dogwhistle. Just letting their audience run wild with "China is going to create mutants!" or "China is going to ruin our pure white DNA!"
They just want to make sure you all don't get the idea better things are possible and don't even think of asking to flood our market with cheap China drugs. The status quo is the best you'll have in the US. Now how can we get this military AUKUS cash still flowing to protect the US from [COMMIES] I mean Fentanyl.
Sigh. Not a single mention. Do y'all ever feel like your secret CCP VR Brainwashing Milker Project [CW:secret CCP VR Brainwashing Milker Project] isn't getting the respect it deserves?
Fuck yeah the Chinese are centuries ahead in tech, once again news that show the supr- wait this is supposed to be bad news? This is supposed to make me dislike a nation that has somehow conquered the realm of Hypnos? Lmao ok, if the sleep ray was real, I'd want them to shoot me with it. Imagine being able to go to sleep on command.
I don't even doubt that China might be looking into this kind of stuff, for the same reason that the CIA has looked into a lot of ridiculous ideas that were never going to work. At some point you either spend the government grants or lose them.
if it means i can become a CPC super soldier spreading communism and terrorizing the West simply by existing and being cool *without * having to read theory sign me tf up!!!
Actually the " biological sleep weapon is the seeseepee's insidious plan to stop trying to keep everyone from getting covid, resulting in everyone getting covid and the post covid symptoms that come with it.
Here is a machine translation of a paragraph from the first paper. This seems to be what they're basing all of their claims on.
The production of biological weapons such as sleep weapons, brain-computer interfaces, brain-controlled weapons, and genetic drugs directly affects cognition, emotion, will, and behavior from the physiological point of view, which is more direct and lethal than traditional psychological influences. The fact that war deprives military personnel of sleep has been widely circulated, and as early as the 70s of the last century, Britain began to study sleeping weapons. From sleep glasses to keep one's own personnel awake and "nightless" drugs to soft-kill radio waves that cause drowsiness and thirst in the enemy, future research that genetically alters physiological limits is moving toward the center of the battlefield. Recently, the brain-controlled weapons developed have made the ideal of "a soldier who surrenders without a fight" a reality, and it is also one of the ultimate weapons that will change the tide of war in the future. Such an endless stream of biological weapons has impacted the physical and psychological state of combatants, causing a huge threat to the physical and psychological safety of military personnel.
And then these are the two papers they cite as evidence that China is developing mind control energy weapons:

The US military is doing a real bang up job of this without anyone else’s help. On a carrier deployment everyone I knew was running on maybe 4 hours sleep per day and that’s usually averaged out over the week because of all the times you only get an hour here and there and maybe like 6 hours straight on Sundays.
More projection that the next CO who’s tired watch standers crash their destroyer into a cargo ship can point to instead of the crumbling military complex around them.
