US Intelligence: China Preparing for War With the US Using Electromagnetic Pulse Weapons

If you want to beat the United States, the best weapon to cripple this country is without a doubt an electromagnetic pulse that would shut down and fry electronics and other machinery. That's just exactly what the Chinese are planning according to US intelligence.

The Washington Times reports:

China’s military is developing electromagnetic pulse weapons that Beijing plans to use against U.S. aircraft carriers in any future conflict over Taiwan, according to an intelligence report made public on Thursday.

Portions of a National Ground Intelligence Center study on the lethal effects of electromagnetic pulse (EMP) and high-powered microwave (HPM) weapons revealed that the arms are part of China’s so-called “assassin’s mace” arsenal – weapons that allow a technologically inferior China to defeat U.S. military forces.

EMP weapons mimic the gamma-ray pulse caused by a nuclear blast that knocks out all electronics, including computers and automobiles, over wide areas. The phenomenon was discovered in 1962 after an aboveground nuclear test in the Pacific disabled electronics in Hawaii.

For many years now, we have been warned this was coming.
