Chinese Military Reports, 'America Is the Enemy!'
I don't know if there is already topic about that or not so sorry if this topic is dupe. Anyway here it is:

<snip>
If you still think I'm just speculating... that this couldn't possibly be planned... maybe you haven't heard yet about a hugely popular book that's still making the rounds... first in Beijing... and now at the White House, the Pentagon, and CIA headquarters.

The book is called 'Unrestricted Warfare.' It's written by Colonels Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, two high-ranking officials in the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA).

America, says the book, is China's most likely enemy for at least the next two decades, if not for the whole 21st century. The battle, they say, will be fought everywhere.

Drug smuggling... attacks on America's computer networks... media manipulation... intellectual piracy... exploiting loopholes in international law... and one of the post powerful weapons of all, attacking America's financial base.

Here's a direct quote from page 51 of the book:

'Financial war is a form of nonmilitary warfare which is just as terribly destructive as a bloody war, but in which no blood is actually shed... When people revise the history books... the section on financial warfare will command the reader's utmost attention.'<snip>

more... http://www.agora-inc.com/reports/DRI/china410/ (it is long article but it is IMPORTANT for anyone to read! Share this article with anyone you know so they may aware of that)



More reason why I boycotted Wal-Mart for some time. I have more information that not reveal in that article but it is quite long and I got it from email, I don't know if it is ok for me to post whole of it in this topic. According to that article, US governments KNOW yet they didn't bother to stop or change, how typical GOP is.

Vote for Kerry to get Bush out of White House!

5. I hope so
or China may will attack before 20-30 years if they feel that they are ready to takeover.

With these idiotic neocons & Bush, our economy will continually declining, we may no longer able to afford the high-technology weapons in future. It is better off to not be overconfident in that case.

3. They're right about financial terrorism
Here is a specific explanation of how american-style finance
has been used as terrorism:

http://www.wizardsofmoney.org/wiz5/wizep5.htm

The chinese generals are right, and were their government to take
their advise, it would likely seek to form an alternate asian-euro,
that would be promoted as an alternative reserve currency to the
dollar and thus undermine US financial hegemony.

Have a check round the wizards of money website, however, it is
truly informative, and more frank and honest than anything you'll
hear in an MBA programme or on any tv network.

4. china
Do not spread rumors. I can not imagine any Chinese military officials advocating things like drug smuggling publicly. Simply not credible. They view America as potential enemy because we positioned us like their enemy: from the spy plane incident to troops in Japan, from preemptive strike to arms sales to Taiwan. What would you think if you were Chinese?

7. China was the victem of the opium wars
By history, the generals can easily explain how western governments
use drugs smuggling to serve military ends.

Here's a link explaining the opium wars with china:

6. People, this is a con! The link is an advertisement!
And I can tell by "Steelangel's" writing style that he's Chinese, maybe Taiwanese, but the style is obvious (neglect of definite or indefinite articles, general syntax etc)
This is a disgusting way to use DU for spamming.
Also, the People's Liberation Army do not publicise their worldwide strategies, for God's sake. This is all a con.

11. uh? WHAT?
I cannot believe what you are saying.

Want to know what I am? Since you were making that ridiculous accusing on me. I am a DEAF for damn sake. Of course my english is not that best like YOURS. English is not my first language, my sign lauguage is my first language.

Can you blame me for born as deaf?

And NO, it is not SPAMMING. I found a email from Dr. Douglass who advocates raw milk and health stuffs.

Oh please. I cannot believe that you accuse me for THAT.

13. Why don't you google the two Colonels names?
The book is real.

This is NOT their strategy; it's a think-piece by guys who are SUPPOSED to come up with such ideas. It's not a big deal when taken in context.

We publish our worldwide strategy, BTW.

27. That may be, but
I didn't see anything wrong or unrealistic in there. My reaction was, well, "duh", of course China is going to rise and become the primary opponent of the US in the future--there is no other candidate (unless we come into such conflict with the EU also). I don't necessarily agree that there will be any direct military comflict, but that's why all those other forms of warfare listed are so believable. China would love to be pre-eminent; we'd like to remain pre-eminent. Thus some kind of conflict is virtually inevitable, even if it's a very low-level one.

I do, however, have doubts about the US ability to stay on top anyway, regardless of what China does. I fear the stupidity of the Republicans and the neglect of prior Democratic adminstrations have set us on the wrong course into the future.

8. This is why we shouldn't borrow money from China
Anyone who believes China doesn't have its eye on the US is naive. Of course they would love to have our resources; they are overpopulated in the extreme.

Will they ever get their military together? Questionable. Do they consider smuggling, hacking, etc., even at gov't levels? Hell, yes. They are human. We are in a race for oil today because their needs have increased.

If you have ZOne Alarm, see how many "hits" come from China when you get a security warning.

No, that's where you are wrong. Not many deaf americans know how to write perfect english.

Want a live example? Go to http://www.alldeaf.com/ and see for yourself. Some deafies are good at english, some aren't.

Seem that you insist that I am a so-called Chinese, want me to post MY picture to prove you otherwise?

And I repeat myself again and again, I am NOT ADVERTISING this, I am POSTING what I FOUND from a email. You need to grow up and stop accusing.

14. America has become "the enemy" of much of the world.
Because of it's corporate rapaciousness backed by our military. The Chinese don't need to attack us. We're busily crumbling from the inside out as we seek to keep our "We're Number One!" status by preying on the 3rd world to prop up our economy.

The slaves are rebelling and calling for the overthrow of the empire.

15. People, read ALL of his link, scroll to the end, it's an AD, it's SPAM!
It's not an "article", it's an advertisement inviting you for a "Free Trial" for advice on "strategic investing".
This is disgusting.

Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 02:02 PM by Steelangel
as I repeat as much as you repeat yourself...

I GOT THIS FROM DR. DOUGLASS WHO ADVOCATES RAW MILK AND ORGANIC. I realize how serious it is, I posted in this forum. I don't know if it is advertisement or not.

You really need to stop making these accusations.

Edit: And I google it and found same information about this so I posted immediately.

24. Google the name of the authors and you find the whole book as pdf file.
Edited on Tue Oct-05-04 02:32 PM by allemand
It makes you wonder...

Oh, and didn't we criticize China for not respecting intellectual property rights...?

Would the authors agree to a subtitle "China's Master Plan to Destroy America"?
If the book was ever published in China, that is.

29. show a link please to the .pdf
Books don't get on amazon by accident. It takes a publisher and
obviously some sort of IPR (intellecutal property rights) aggreement.
Amazon don't do open source.

What is wrong with this book existing and discussing its premises?

Well, can you read the original Chinese version of book? Can you verify the positions of these guys? Can you guarantee the accuracy of the translation? Can you tell if they represent the viewpoints of the Chinese government? Anyone can write something sensational to sell a book.

I agree it is not a big deal. If we translate all the anti-China books here into Chinese and sell them in China, they would think we are going to nuke them tomorrow.;-)

35. This is no real suprise friend
The Chinese and US have regarded each other as enemies for decades now. But apparently the Chinese have learned from the mistakes made by Russia during the Cold War, don't spend yourself to oblivion pumping up the military. Sad to say, but the US has yet to learn that lesson.

Another reason that China cannot engage in a major military operation is because they realize that ninety percent of their population can be wiped out with a few well placed nukes. Beijing, Shanghai, a few more, and they would be decimated. Thus, they are concentrating on non-military ways of laying low the US.
