China Says It May Have Detected Signals From Alien Civilizations

China said its giant Sky Eye telescope may have picked up signs of alien civilizations, according to a report by the state-backed Science and Technology Daily, which then appeared to have deleted the report and posts about the discovery.

The original article posted by Science and Technology Daily got removed, so it might have just been full of junk; I’m uncertain what that article actually was about though.

People’s Daily states an entirely different claim near a similar time (09:19, June 15, 2022 compared to June 14, 2022 at 10:25 PM CDT (watch out for timezone differences)): China’s FAST telescope discovers world’s first persistently active repeating fast radio burst.[1] A much less exaggerated headline than the Bloomberg article’s headline.

It’s still western media though, so I wouldn’t trust them regardless.

Regardless, the Reddit hivemind is spouting brainrot about China.
