China Nostradamus Jiang Xueqin has dismissed the latest US alien disclosures as a 'cynical political stunt,' telling a YouTube audience last month that the release of declassified UFO files under Donald Trump's administration is 'complete nonsense' designed to distract the public.
The news came after Washington ordered agencies, including the Pentagon, to publish records tied to extraterrestrial life and so-called unexplained anomalous phenomena following a February 2026 directive. The disclosures were framed as part of a transparency push, but they have quickly fed a familiar split between believers and sceptics, with Xueqin placing himself firmly in the latter camp.
