The hypothesis that China ordered JFK's assassination

Trinc the spread of a specific narrative regarding Lee Harvey Oswald and his alleged connection to Beijing, the debate has focused on examining the plausibility of this theory. The collected data points to a complex web of conspiracies, where the figure of the assassin and geopolitical motives are constantly reinterpreted.

The narrative of the Chinese threat and the military-industrial complex

Some argue that Kennedy viewed China as a strategic risk, with preventive plans even to attack nuclear facilities. This view suggests that the Kremlin or Washington itself wove the plot, pointing to a US military-industrial complex as the main driver. Conversely, other analysts point out that the physical execution of such a complex plan—three precise shots and others wavering—requires coordination that defies the logic of any external order.

Oswald: Double Agent or Simple Executor

Circulating information mentions the possibility that Oswald operated as a double agent, with ties to both China and the FBI. This opens the field to multiple command and control scenarios, where blame could fall on various spheres. Some argue that Mao's goal was to externalize blame for his own actions, using the US as a preexisting target.

The Cyclical Pattern of Enemies and the Manipulation of Hate

A recurring pattern in conspiracy theories is observed: the enemy changes. What was previously attributed to the USSR now falls on China or Iran. This shift in adversary is linked to the political need to justify conflict narratives, from the Great Leap Forward to post-21st-century events, always seeking a scapegoat.

The analysis stops at this constant oscillation of responsible parties, with no element—neither ballistic evidence nor documents cited in different periods—offering a definitive conclusion on who shot and why.
