China
China is a communist nation. Therefore, everything described in the first three parts of this series on the nature of communism applies. When Soviet Russia ceased to exist, the “dictatorship of the proletariat” moved from Moscow to Beijing. Xi Jinping no doubt sees himself as the successor to Marx, Lenin, Stalin and the rest of the line of communist kingpins.
As a computer architect for Jabil Circuit, I viewed my Chinese coworkers as peers. Of course, there were cultural differences, but they seemed like decent people. It took me a year of working for the company to realize that China being a communist nation really did make a difference. It was a one-way relationship. We were building up China and devastating our own country in the process.
When the Soviet Union collapsed, the free world looked at Red China as a third world country and not as a threat. Businesses around the world began to export jobs to China for cheap labor. Over time, those same businesses began to view China as a new market with over a billion customers. China having “most favoured nation” status has been quite detrimental to the United States:
- Job losses have gutted the US middle class.
- Wealth moved from the US to China.
- Factory and business closures have left middle America looking like a ghost town.
- Free exchange of information has created national security risks.
- Free exchange of information has created incredible risk to the businesses themselves.
- With no respect for personal (intellectual) property, all products are immediately copied by Chinese clones.
- Physical assets can be seized by the Communists.
During all this time, how has the United States benefited? Prices may (or may not) be cheaper than they would otherwise be; however, the quality of the products is definitely worse than when they were made in the US. Personal wealth for many US citizens has declined. Overall, the American public has taken it on the chin. As for American companies, they have really sacrificed a large share of their ownership to a communist nation in pursuit of perceived cheap labor and a mythical market that they are actually creating by wealth transfer.
China may well have been exercising what Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui labeled as “financial warfare” in Unrestricted Warfare. This would imply that, like Islamic terrorists, they have been at war with us, but we have not been at war with them. The Chinese government’s view of the communist dialectic is that the synthesis of the United States dominance will be followed by the antithesis of Communist Chinese dominance. Their belief is that the twenty-first century will be a “Chinese century.” The communist trinity predicts this too will give way to a new synthesis, until worldwide Communism is achieved.
There is a wealth of information in books on Russian infiltration written during the 1940s and 1950s by former US communists. There is a distinctive lack of such information on Chinese infiltration. The Russians mostly focused their efforts on infiltrating the US government. According to Louis Budenz, the Communists planned to penetrate “the Democratic party and areas of the Republican party.”[1] Their efforts to affect society met with stiff resistance by Parent Teacher Associations and media op-eds and letters-to-the-editor. On the other hand, it is apparent that the Chinese have been far more successful infiltrating our non-government institutions – especially the schools and media outlets. The shift is similar to the way the Chinese were much more effective interrogating prisoners with their “lenient policy” during the Korean War. They are a very subtle and dangerous adversary.
In March 2020, Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter to all 74 colleges with Confucius Institutes warning that the institutes were fronts for communist Chinese propaganda and non-traditional espionage.[2] These institutions have been in the United States since 2004. China’s influence on major media outlets like the New York Times and CNN are difficult to quantify, but it is clear that the heads of these organizations have financial ties with China – and their messages reflect it.
It has been a severe mistake not to view Communist China as an enemy.
In addition to unconventional attacks, China poses a conventional threat. First published in 2005, the “secret” speech given by General Chi Haotian to the Communist Party Central Committee couldn’t make it more clear.[3] The content of the speech is shocking, and it was rightfully met with great skepticism at the time. The original source of the speech was the Chinese sites peacehall.com and boxum.com.[4] San Renxing of Falun Gong did an analysis to authenticate the speech.[5] The conclusion was that indeed it reflected the thinking of the Central Committee, and the fact is that Beijing has never repudiated the speech. Furthermore, events have made a strong case that it is real.[6] So, the Epoch Times republished it in 2009. In addition to all of this, I had a Chinese national who was already familiar with the posting on peacehall.com verify that the English translation was accurate.
The speech starts out with a paragraph that should get every American’s attention:
Comrades, I’m very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our party’s cause will be carried on. In answering the question, “Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war,” more than 80 percent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations.
It should be apparent that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee does not have American values. There are cold-blooded calculations throughout the speech that are foreign to our way of thinking, but they are in line with Chinese thought.
The speech is very revealing about the CCP’s view of themselves and communism in general. No doubt things get lost in translation; however, the Chinese see clearly that the only difference between National Socialism and Communism is the acknowledgement of a national boundary. They are not tainted by the interpretation of the left-right model we use for a political spectrum. Their view is that the nation-state of China is only a foothold for global conquest.
They compare themselves to Nazi Germany. One thing we Americans miss is that they have the same type of racial superiority that the Nazis had. They speak of “revitalizing” the Chinese race. In their view, Germany was insignificant compared to China’s size and its rulers too soft.
Let that sink in.
It does not escape an elephant that he is much larger than you. The same is true of China’s Central Committee. They consider six million dead as small potatoes, and they are not bothered by the estimated hundred million that Mao killed.
From a military strategy point of view, General Chi criticizes that the Nazis were impatient and violated the principle of invading one country at a time. He ends the topic with three lessons to be learned from the Nazis failure:
- Firmly grasp the country’s living space
- Firmly grasp the Party’s control over the nation
- Firmly grasp the general direction toward becoming the “lord of the earth.”
Why does he speak about “living space”? Do you remember Hitler’s “Lebensraum”? “Revitalizing the Chinese race,” “living space,” and “Chinese century” are all Chinese Aesopian dialect for doing what the Nazis tried to do. The Chinese are aiming to replace us with their people.
It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths. But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party. That is because, after all, we are Chinese and members of the CCP. Since the day we joined the CCP, the Part’s life has always been above all else! History will prove that we made the right choice.
Still think China is not an enemy?
