No one expects nuclear missiles in the nuclear missile silos! China's chief weapon is surprise! Surprise and fear. Their two chief weapons are surprise and fear. And bio-engineered viruses from a weapons lab in Wuhan.

Surprise, fear, and a fanatical devotion to the pope.

No wait, it’s the other way around.

I’m guessing that’s a sly reference to an old Monty Python routine. If so, kudos!

And for those not in the know, here’s the bit:

A door flies open, and Cardinal Ximinez of Spain (Michael Palin) enters.

Cardinal Ximinez: “NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I’ll come in again.”
