beats me. Especially when I read this sentence "The Babylon program will focus on low-population, high-terrorist-risk languages that will not be supported by any commercial enterprise" since China has the largest population on this planet, and has never involved in any terrorist activities.

So that alleged focus may be just a smoking screen. The real purpose for this project is actually for any potential threat to the US, including economical threat. If you read US newspapers these couple of days, you should know something about the alleged "China espionage and China threat alarms". Maybe that has something to do with it even though these allegations are completely unfounded.

There is nothing new for this type of allegation. The US first just thought China would collapse before it becomes stronger, and then suddenly realize that won't happen, so they switch to the "China threat" theory.

Personally, I think this is just another way to waste US taxpayers' money on some Phantom enemies, and in this case, they chose >22% of the world population. This reminds me of the "sound" US immigration policy a couple of years back, which stated something like any Chinese were qualified to apply political Asylum in the US if they were forced to have abortion (for the 2nd baby) and that literally put most of 1.3 billion Chinese under the US political asylum umbrella<g>

I bet the project would stop running until the US taxpayers' money is running out, which is much closer than many people can realize.
