7.2-Magnitude Earthquake Hits "China"
BEIJING - A major earthquake struck western China early Friday, but there were no initial reports of casualties.
The 7.2 magnitude quake hit at 6:33 a.m. (6:33 p.m. EDT Thursday), about 140 miles southeast of the city of Hotan in Xinjiang province,
the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
A spokesman for China's Earthquake Administration said it was a 7.3 magnitude quake.
There were no immediate reports of injuries, he said, and the area is sparsely populated.
Dale Grant, a USGS geophysicist, described the area as "very seismically active" but said Friday's temblor was ... the biggest there on record.
Xinjiang is a predominantly Muslim region with a culture that is ... distinctly different from that of China's ethnic Han majority.

I think it's clear what he is saying. Xinjiang province is not really (or rightly) part of "China". That's what the China-in-quotes means. Most importantly, "China" has mastered the technology to control earthquakes and is now the leading superpower in the world. Since the earthquake attack was in Xinjiang and not Tibet, we have an instance of 'kill the rooster to scare the monkeys'.
IGTG is pointing to the new status of world affairs. If "China" doesn't like what is going on somewhere, it will unleash earthquakes--and potentially volcanoes--to punish the neighbor of some country that is misbehaving.
Those devious Chinese are probably Khazars in disguise. |
