China introduces “neurostrike” weapons: advanced directed energy sources pose new threat to global security
China has disclosed the development of advanced directed energy weaponry, capable of potentially interfering with neural functioning, which could impact individuals or larger populations.
Based on a report from the Washington Times, a 12-page national study describes these novel ‘neurostrike’ weapons, enabling China to potentially enhance its global standing.
The report suggests that China’s People’s Liberation Army is working on advanced weapons.
These could interfere with brain functions using microwaves or other directed energy weapons, ranging from handheld devices to larger mechanisms firing electromagnetic beams.

Some have interpreted the release of this report as a sign that these weapons could be in use, possibly targeting Western leaders or larger population segments.
The report, titled “Enumerating, Targeting and Collapsing the Chinese Communist Party’s Neurostrike Program,” implies that China has become a global frontrunner in neurostrike weaponry development.
Sanctions were imposed on China’s Academy of Military Medical Sciences and 11 affiliated entities by the U.S. Commerce Department in December 2021.
These sanctions were due to the alleged use of “biotechnology processes to support Chinese military end-uses and end-users, including purported brain-control weaponry.”
The report’s release has sparked speculation about potential health incidents suffered by U.S. diplomatic personnel in recent years.
The leading theory attributes these incidents to attacks from electromagnetic weapons.
China’s development of neurostrike weapons has been deemed essential for the nation.
The report describes these weapons as integral to China’s asymmetric warfare strategy against the United States.
As tensions rise globally, this report highlights the need for assessing military readiness and the potential repercussions of advanced weaponry.
