It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Oh my sweet lord they’re going to do MK ULTRA again
Decided to go down this rabbit hole and see what their sources are.
Here's the "research" report PDF.
These are the two papers in Chinese that they cite to support their claims:
- "Improve psychological protection capabilities to help win the battle of the future"
- "Aiming at Future Wars and Fighting the 'Five Battles' of Cognition"
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 new arms include biological weapons designed to induce sleep or sleep-related disturbances in enemy troops. The goal is to impair cognition and alertness.
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.
They stole the technology from the US! Bastards
Please Mr. Xi, Inject Me With The Genetic Drugs And Turn Me Into Your Sleepless Cognitively And Emotionally Enhanced Super-Soldier Mecha Pilot
Even if this were true,

Every accusation a confession
Getting zooted and putting on some tunes to participate in a covert Chinese weapons testing programme. What are y'all doing tonight?
