Episode notes

In this episode, Richard Dolan returns to discuss China’s approach to the UFO phenomenon.

From the Mao era suppression of UFO reports to the post-1976 explosion of sightings, we explore how China has handled unidentified aerial phenomena politically, culturally and militarily.

We also examine:

Whether China operates a structured military filtering system for UFO reports

How reverse engineering might be approached inside a highly centralised state

Whether China or Russia would treat disclosure differently from the United States

The geopolitical implications of advanced non-human technology

This conversation expands on our previous discussion and shifts the focus toward China’s long-term strategy, national security culture and how the UFO question fits into a global context.
