Forget digging a hole to China � now China�s the one digging the really
deep holes.

The Asian nation has begun drilling a more than 32,800-foot-deep hole into
the Earth�s crust as part of a so-called research project in the nation�s
oil-rich Xinjiang region, according to state media.

The venture is being led by state scientists as a means to further China�s
deep Earth exploration venture launched by President Xi Jinping in 2021,
the Xinhua News Agency reported.

The digging of China�s deepest ever hole began on Tuesday in the Tarim
Basin, near the nation�s Tarim Oilfield.

Sun Jinsheng, a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the
project will penetrate more than 10 layers of rock into the Earth�s crust
that would feature stones dating back some 145 million years.

Jinsheng, however, noted that a project of this size can be fairly
dangerous, with the risks amplified given that the digging site is in the
brutal Taklamakan Desert, which features a harsh environment and
complicated underground conditions.

�The construction difficulty of the drilling project can be compared to a
big truck driving on two thin steel cables,� he told Xinhua.

The drilling is expected to take about 457 days and is being led by the
China National Petroleum Corp, which will use the project to test
underground drilling machines and gather data on the Earth�s interior.

The project comes as the Chinese president urged world scientists to ramp
up studies on the Earth�s interior during a speech in 2021.

Jinping said the studies were necessary in order to identify energy
resources and assess the risks of environmental disasters, such as
volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

The groundbreaking at the drilling site came as China also sent its first
civilian astronaut into space from its launch site at the Gobi Desert.

The spacecraft, Shenzhou-16, or �Divine Vessel�, and its three passengers
were launched on Tuesday morning from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre
to China�s now fully operational space station.

China�s deepest hole ever is in the head of its crazed leader. When we
were kids we used to dig in the sad at the beach & say we are digging to
China. By digging as deep as they can, maybe they will be able to come up
right in the middle of the Pentagon. Surely their balloon spying helped
them create a plan.

Meanwhile in the USA, joe biden remembered where he was today! Woohoo! We
stopped drilling for oil and gas here. We are debating whether men are
women, porn should be in kid schools, and our border is open to anyone any
anything. Look at what democrats voters, in cooperation with career
republicans and democrat liars in DC, corporations, and mainstream media
have done. Democrats are fake resistance
