Chi Haotian, pictured above, was the defense
minister of China from 1993-2003. He was also vice chairman of the Chinese
Communist Party’s Central Military Commission. He delivered the following
speech to a select group of high level party cadres.
As explained in Gen. Chi’s
speech, the Chinese Communist Party’s intention is to militarily defeat,
occupy, and colonize the United States. This plan has been confirmed by a
Russian defector source who worked in China and had information about a joint
Sino-Russian plan to invade North America. This plan was drawn up in 1992,
after the fall of the Soviet Union. The division of spoils was described thus:
“Russia would get Alaska and parts of Canada. China would get the lower 48
states, with other countries invited in for ‘looting rights.’”
The speech was translated into English and first published by
the EPOCH TIMES in
2005.
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.
Today I’d like to focus on
why we asked sina.com to conduct this online survey among our people. My speech
today is a sequel to my speech last time, during which I started with a
discussion of the issue of the three islands, [where I] mentioned that 20 years
of the idyllic theme of “peace and development” had come to an end, and
concluded that modernization under the saber is the only option for China’s
next phase. I also mention we have a vital stake overseas. Today, I’ll speak
more specifically on these two issues.
The central issue of this
survey appears to be whether one should shoot at women, children and prisoners
of war, but its real significance goes far beyond that. Ostensibly, our
intention is mainly to figure out what the Chinese people’s attitude toward war
is: If these future soldiers do not hesitate to kill even non-combatants,
they’ll naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants.
Therefore, the responses to the survey questions may reflect the general
attitude people have towards war.
Actually, however, this is
not our genuine intention. The purpose of the CCP Central Committee in
conducting this survey is to probe people’s minds. We wanted to know: If China’s global development will
necessitate massive deaths in enemy countries, will our people endorse that
scenario? Will they be for or against it?
As everybody knows, the
essence of Comrade Xiaoping’s thinking is “development is the hard truth.” And
Comrade Jintao, has also pointed out repeatedly and emphatically that
“development is our top priority,” which should not be neglected for even a
moment. But many comrades tend to understand “development” in its narrow sense,
assuming it to be limited to domestic development. The fact is, our “development” refers to the great
revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the
land we have now but also includes the whole world.
Why do I put it this way?
Both Comrade Liu Huaquing,
one of the leaders of the old generation in our Party, and Comrade He Xin, a
young strategist of our Party, have repeatedly stressed the theory regarding the shift of the center of World
Civilization. Our slogan of “revitalizing China” has this way of
thinking as its basis. You may look into the newspapers and magazines published
in recent years or go online to do some research to find out who raised the
slogan of national revitalization first. It was Comrade He Xin. Do you know who
He Xin is? He may look aggressive and despicable when he speaks in public, with
his sleeves and pants all rolled up, but his historical vision is a treasure
our Party should cherish.
{JRN NOTE: Thus, the exploitation of nationalism and Chinese
racism is openly avowed as an adjunct to communist expansionism – as Chinese
National Socialism.]
In discussing this issue, let
us start from the beginning.
As everybody knows, according
to the views propagated by Western scholars, humanity as a whole originated
from one single mother in Africa. Therefore, no race can claim racial
superiority. However, according to the research conducted by most Chinese
scholars, the Chinese are different from other races on earth. We did not
originate in Africa. Instead, we originated independently in the land of China.
The Peking Man at Zhoukoudian that we are all familiar with represents a phase
of our ancestors’ evolution. “The Project of Searching for the Origins of the
Chinese Civilization” currently undertaken in our country is aimed at a more
comprehensive and systematic research on the origin, process and development of
the ancient Chinese civilization. We use to say, “Chinese civilization has had
a history of five thousand years.” But now, many experts engaged in research in
varied fields including archeology, ethnic cultures, and regional cultures have
reached consensus that the new discoveries such as the Hongshan Culture in the
northeast, the Liangahn Culture in Zhejiang province, the Jinsha Ruins in
Sichuan province, and the Yongzhou Shun Emperor Cultural Site in Hunan province
are all compelling evidence of the exitence of China’s early civilizations, and
they prove that China’s rice-growing agricultural history alone can be traced
back as far as 8,000 to 10,000 years. This refutes the concept of “five
thousand years of Chinese civilization.”
Therefore, we can assert that
we are the product of cultural roots of more than a million years, and a single
Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese entity of two
thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls itself, “descendants of
Yan and Huang,” the Chinese nation that we are so proud of. Hitler’s Germany
had once bragged that the German race was the most superior race on earth, but
the fact is, our nation is far superior to the Germans.
During our long history, our
people have disseminated throughout the Americas and the regions along the
Pacific Rim, and they became Indians in the Americas and the East Asian ethnic
groups in the South Pacific.
We all know that on account
of our national superiority, during the thriving and prosperous Tang Dynasty
our civilization was at the peak of the world. We were the center of the world
civilization, and no other civilization in the world was comparable to ours.
Later on, because of our complacency, narrow-mindedness, and the self-enclosure
of our own country, we were surpassed by Western civilization, and the center
of the world shifted to the West.
In reviewing history, one may
ask: Will the center of the world civilization shift back to China?
Comrade He Xin put it in his
report to the Central Committee in 1988: If the fact is that the center of
leadership of the world was located in Europe as of the 18th Century, and later
shifted to the United States in the mid-20th century the center of leadership
of the world will shift to the East of our planet. And, “the East” of course mainly
refers to China.
Actually, Comrade Lui
Huaquing made similar points in the 1980s. Based on an historical analysis, he
pointed out that the center of world civilization is shifting. It shifted from
the East to Western Europe and later to the United States; now it is shifting
back to the East. Therefore,
if we refer to the 19th century as the British century, and the 20th century as
the American century, then the 21st century will be the Chinese century.
{JRN NOTE: Here is a Chinese version of ‘Manifest Destiny,” with the whole world as
its object of conquest.}
To understand conscientiously this historical law and to greet the advent
of the Chinese Century is the historical mission of our Party. As
we all know, at the end of the last century, we built the Altar to the Chinese
Century in Beijing.
At the very moment of the
arrival of the new millennium, the collective leadership of the Party Central
Committee gathered there for a rally, upholding the torches of Zhoukoudian, to
pledge themselves to get ready to greet the arrival of the Chinese Century. We
were doing this to follow the historical law and setting the realization of the
Chinese century as the goal of our Party’s endeavors.
Later, in the political
report of our Party’s Sixteenth National Congress, we established that national
revitalization should be our great objective and explicitly specified in our
new Party Constitution that our Party is the pioneer of the Chinese people. All
these steps marked a major development in Marxism, reflecting our Party’s
courage and wisdom. As we all know, Marx and his followers have never referred
to any communist party as a pioneer of a certain people; neither did they say
that national revitalization could be used as a slogan of a communist party.
Even Comrade Mao Zedong, a courageous national hero, only raised high the
banner of “the global proletarian revolution,” but even he did not have the
courage to give the loudest publicity to the slogan of national revitalization.
We must greet the arrival of
the Chinese Century by raising high the banner of national revitalization. How
should we fight for the realization of the Chinese Century? We must borrow the
precious experiences in human history by taking advantage of the outstanding
fruition of human civilization and drawing lessons from what happened to other
ethnic groups.
The lessons include the
collapse of communism in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as
the defeats of Germany and Japan in the past. Recently there has been much
discussion of the lessons of the collapse of communism in the former Soviet
Union and Eastern European countries, so I will not dwell on them here. Today
I’d like to talk about the lessons of Germany and Japan.
As we all know, Nazi Germany
also placed much emphasis on the education of the people, especially the
younger generation. The Nazi Party and government organized and established
various propaganda and educational institutions such as the “Guiding Bureau of
National Propaganda,” “Department of National Education and Propaganda,”
“Supervising Bureau of Worldview Study and Education,” and “Information
Office,” all aimed at instilling into the people’s minds, from elementary
schools to colleges, the idea that German people are superior, and convincing
people that the historical mission of the Aryan people is to become the “lords
of the earth” whose right it is to “rule over the world.” Back then the German
people were much more united than we are today.
Nonetheless, Germany was
defeated in utter shame, along with its ally, Japan. Why? We reached some
conclusions at the study meetings of the Politburo, in which we were searching
for the laws that governed the vicissitudes of the big powers, and trying to
analyze Germany and Japan’s rapid growth. When we decide to revitalize based on the German model, we
must not repeat the mistakes they made.
Specifically, the following are the fundamental causes for their defeat:
First, they had too many enemies all at once, as they did not adhere to the
principle of eliminating enemies one at a time; second, they were too
impetuous, lacking the patience and perseverance required for great
accomplishments; third, when the time came for them to be ruthless, they turned
out to be too soft, therefore leaving troubles that resurfaced later on.
Let’s presume that back then
Germany and Japan had been able to keep the United States neutral and had
fought a protracted war step by step on the Soviet front. If they had adopted
this approach, gained some time to advance their research, eventually succeeded
in obtaining the technology of nuclear weapons and missiles, and launched
surprise attacks against the United States and the Soviet Union using them,
then the United States and the Soviet Union would not have been able to defend
themselves and would have had to surrender. Little Japan, in particular, made
an egregious mistake in launching the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. This attack
did not hit the vital parts of the United States. Instead, it dragged the
United States into the war, into the ranks of the gravediggers that eventually
buried the German and Japanese fascists.
Of course, if they had not
made these three mistakes and won the war, history would have been written in a
different fashion. If that had been the case, China would not be in our hands. Japan
might have relocated their capital to China and ruled over China. Afterwards,
China and the whole of Asia under Japan’s command would have brought into full
play the oriental wisdom, conquered the West ruled by Germany and unified the
whole world. This is irrelevant, of course. No more digressions.
So, the fundamental reason
for the defeats of Germany and Japan is that history did not arrange them to be
the “lords of the earth,” for they are, after all, not the most superior race.
Ostensibly, in comparison,
today’s China is alarmingly similar to Germany back then. Both of them regard
themselves as the most superior races; both of them have a history of being
exploited by foreign powers and are therefore vindictive; both of them have the
tradition of worshipping their own authorities; both of them feel that they
have seriously insufficient living space; both of them raise high the two
banners of nationalism and socialism and label themselves as “national
socialism”; both of them worship “one state, one party, one leader, and one
doctrine.”
And yet, if we really are to
make a comparison between Germany and China, then, as Comrade Jiang Zemin put
it, Germany belongs to “pediatrics” – too trivial to be compared. How large is
Germany’s population? How big is its territory? And how long is its history? We eliminated eight million
nationalist troops in only three years. How many enemies did Germany kill? They
were in power for a transient period of little more than a dozen years before
they perished, while we are still energetic after being around for more than
eighty years. Our theory of the shifting center of civilization is of
course more profound than Hitler’s theory of “the lords of the earth.” Our
civilization is profound and broad, which has determined that we are so much
wiser than they were.
Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because, fundamentally, our
race is superior to theirs. As a result, we have a longer history,
more people, and larger land area. On this basis our ancestors left us with the two most essential
heritages, which are atheism and great unity. It was Confucius, the
founder of our Chinese culture, who gave us these heritages.
This heritage determined that
we have a stronger ability to survive than the West. That is why the Chinese
race has been able to prosper for so long. We are destined “not to be buried by
either heaven or earth” no matter how severe the natural, man-made, and
national disasters. This is our advantage.
Take response to war as an
example. The reason that the
United States remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once
its enemies aim at the mainland, these enemies would reach Washington before
its congress finishes debating and authorizes the president to declare war.
But for us, we don’t waste time on these trivial things. Comrade Deng Xiaoping
once said, “The Party’s
leadership is prompt in making decisions. Once a decision is made, it is
immediately implemented. There’s no wasting time on trivial things like
in capitalist countries. This is our advantage! Our Party’s democratic
centralism is built on the tradition of great unity. Although fascist Germany
also stressed high-level centralism, they only focused on power of the top
leader, but ignored the collective leadership of the central group. That’s why
Hitler was betrayed by many later in his life, which fundamentally depleted the
Nazis of their war capacity.
What makes us different from Germany is that we are complete atheists,
while Germany was primarily a Catholic and Protestant country. Hitler was only
half atheist. Although Hitler also believed that ordinary citizens had low
intelligence, and that leaders should therefore make decisions, and although
German people worshipped Hitler back then, Germany did not have the tradition
of worshipping sages on a broad basis. Our Chinese society has always worshipped sages, and that is because we
don’t worship any God. Once you worship a god, you can’t worship a person at
the same time, unless you recognize the person as the god’s representative like
they do in Middle Eastern countries. On the other hand, once you
recognize a person as a sage, of course you will want him to be your leader….
This is the foundation of our democratic centralism.
The bottom line is, only China is a reliable force in resisting the
Western parliament-based democratic system. Hitler’s dictatorship in
Germany was perhaps but a momentary mistake in history.
Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to
further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and
empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow
God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If
the common people don’t believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader,
question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in
our society question why we are leaving God in churches, can our Party continue
to rule China?
Germany’s dream to be the
“lord of the earth” failed, because ultimately, history did not bestow this
great mission upon them. But the three lessons Germany learned from experience
are what we ought to remember as we complete our historic mission and
revitalize our race. The three lessons are: Firmly grasp the country’s living
space; firmly grasp the Party’s control over the nation; and firmly grasp the
general direction toward becoming the “lord of the earth.”
Next, I’d like to address
these three issues.
The first issue is living space. This is the biggest focus of
the revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the
fight over basic living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of
the vast majority of wars in history. This may change in the information age,
but not fundamentally. Our per capita resources are much less than those of
Germany’s back then. In addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus
years had a negative impact, and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short
supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water,
and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even
its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than faced by
Germany back then.
Anybody who has been to
Western countries knows that their living space is much better than ours. They
have forests alongside the highways, while we hardly have any trees by our
streets. Their sky is often blue with white clouds, while our sky is covered by
a layer of dark haze. Their tap water is clean enough for drinking, while even
our ground water is so polluted that it can’t be drunk without filtering. They
have few people in the streets, and two or three people can occupy a small
residential building; in contrast, our streets are always crawling with people,
and several people have to share on room.
Many years ago, there was a book titled Yellow Catastrophes.
It said that, due to our following the American style of consumption, our
limited resources would not long support the population and society would
collapse, once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has
already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our
nation. It’s not that we haven’t paid attention to this issue. The Ministry of
Land Resources is specialized in this issue.
But the term ‘living space’
(lebensraum) is too closely related to Nazi Germany. The reason we don’t want to discuss this too openly is
to avoid the West’s association of us with Nazi Germany, which could in turn
reinforce the view that China is a threat. Therefore, in our emphasis on
He Xin’s new theory, “Human rights are just living rights,” we only talk about
“living,” but not “space,” so as to avoid using the term “living space.” From
the perspective of history, the reason that China is faced with the issue of
living space is because Western countries established colonies ahead of Eastern
countries. Western countries established colonies all around the world,
therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve
this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they
could develop outside of China.
The second issue is our focus
on the leadership capacity of the ruling party. We’ve done better on this than
their party. Although the Nazis spread their power to every aspect of the
German national government, they did not stress their absolute leadership
position like we have. They did not take the issue of managing the power of the
party as first priority, which we have. When Comrade Mao Zedong summarized the
“three treasures” of our party’s victory in conquering the country, he
considered the most important “treasure” to be developing the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP) and strengthening its leadership position.
We have to focus on two
points to fortify our leadership position and improve our leadership capacity.
The first is to promote the
“Three Represents” theory, stressing that our Party is the pioneer of the
Chinese race, in addition to being the pioneer of the proletariat. Many
citizens say in private, “We never voted for you, the Communist Party, to
represent us. How can you claim to be our representatives?”
There’s no need to worry
about this issue. Comrade Mao Zedong said that if we could lead the Chinese
people outside of China, resolving the lack of living space in China, the
Chinese people will support us. At that time, we don’t’ have to worry about the
labels of “totalitarianism” or “dictatorship.” Whether we can forever represent
the Chinese people depends on whether we can succeed in leading the Chinese
people out of China.
The second point, whether we
can lead the Chinese people out of China, is the most important determinant of
the CCP’s leadership position.
Why do I say this?
Everyone knows that without
the leadership of our Party, China would not exist today. Therefore, our
highest principle is to forever protect our Party’s leadership position. Before
June 4, we realized vaguely that as long as China’s economy is developed,
people would support and love the Communist Party. Therefore we had to use
several decades of peacetime to develop China’s economy. No matter what-isms,
whether it is a white cat or a black at, it is a good cat if it can develop
China’s economy. But at that time, we did not have mature ideas about how China
would deal with international disputes after its economy becomes developed.
Comrade Xiaoping said then
that the main themes in the world were peace and development. But the June 4
riot gave our Party a warning and gave us a lesson that is still fresh.
The pressure of China’s peaceful
evolution makes us reconsider of these two main themes of our time. We see that
neither of these two issues, peace and development, have been resolved. The
western oppositional forces always change the world according to their own
visions; they want to change China and use peaceful evolution to overturn the
leadership of our Communist Party. Therefore, if we only develop the economy,
we still face the possibility of losing control.
The June 4 riot almost
succeeded in bringing a peaceful transition; if it were not for the fact that a
large number of veteran comrades were still alive and at a crucial moment they
removed Zhao Ziyang and his followers, then we all would have been put in
prison. After death we would have been too ashamed to report to Marx. Although
we have passed the test of June 4, after our group of senior comrades pass
away, without our control, peaceful evolution may still come to China like it
did to the former Soviet Union. In 1956, they suppressed the Hungarian incident
and defeated the attacks by Tito’s revisionists of Yugoslavia, but they could
not withstand Gorbachev thirty some years later. Once those pioneering senior
comrades died, the power of the Communist Party was taken away by peaceful
evolution.
After the June 4 riot was suppressed,
we have been thinking about how to prevent China from peaceful evolution and
how to maintain the Communist Party’s leadership. We thought it over and over
but did not come up with any good ideas. If we do not have good ideas, China
will inevitably change peacefully, and we will all become criminals in history.
After some deep pondering, we finally come to this conclusion: Only by turning
our developed national strength into the force of a first striking outward –
only by leading people to go out – can we win forever the Chinese people’s
support and love for the Communist Party. Our party will then stand on
invincible ground, and the Chinese people will have to depend on the Communist
Party. They will forever follow the Communist Party with their hearts and
minds, as was written in a couplet frequently seen in the countryside some
years ago: “Listen to Chairman Mao, follow the Communist Party!” Therefore, the June 4 riot made us
realize that we must combine economic development with preparation for war and
leading the people to go out! Therefore, since then, our national
defence policy has taken a 180 degree turn and we have since emphasized more
and more “combining peace and war.” Our economic development is all about preparing for the needs of war!
Publicly we still emphasize economic development as our center, but in reality,
economic development has war as its center! We have made a tremendous effort to
construct “The Great Wall Project” to build up, along our coastal and land
frontiers as well as around large and medium-sized cities, a solid underground
“Great Wall” that can withstand a nuclear war. We are also storing all
necessary war materials. Therefore,
we will not hesitate to fight a Third World War, so as to lead the people to go
out and to ensure the Party’s leadership position. In any event, we, the
CCP, will never step down from the stage of history! We’d rather have the whole
world, or even the entire globe, share life and death with us than step down
from the stage of history! Isn’t there a “nuclear bondage” theory? It means
that since nuclear weapons have bound the security of the entire world, all
will die together if death is inevitable. In my view, there is another kind of
bondage, and that is, the fate of our Party is tied up with that of the whole
world. If we, the CCP, are
finished, China will be finished, and the world will be finished.
Our Party’s historical
mission is to lead the Chinese people to go out. If we take the long view, we
will see that history led us on this path. First, China’s long history has
resulted in the world’s largest population, including Chinese in China as well
as overseas. Second, once we open our doors, the profit-seeking western
capitalists will invest capital and technology in China to assist our development,
so that they can occupy the biggest market in the world. Third, our numerous
overseas Chinese help us create the most favorable environment for the
introduction of foreign capital, foreign technology, and advanced experience
into China. Thus, it is guaranteed that our reform and open-door policy will
achieve tremendous success. Fourth,
China’s great economic expansion will inevitably lead to the shrinkage of
per-capita living space for the Chinese people, and this will encourage China
to turn outward in search for new living space. Fifth, China’s great economic
expansion will inevitably come with significant development in our military
forces, creating conditions for our expansion overseas. Ever since
Napoleon’s time, the West has been alert for the possible awakening of the
sleeping lion that is China. Now, the sleeping lion is standing up and
advancing into the world, and has become unstoppable!
What is the third issue we should clinch firmly in order to accomplish
our historical mission of national renaissance? It is to hold firmly onto the
big “issue of America.”
This appears to be shocking,
but the logic is actually very simple.
Comrade He Xin put forward a
very fundamental judgment that is very reasonable. He asserted in his report to
the Party Central Committee: The renaissance of China is in fundamental
conflict with the Western strategic interest, and therefore will inevitably be
obstructed by the western countries doing everything they can. So, Only by
breaking the blockade formed by the western countries headed by the United
States can China grow and move toward the world!
Would the United States allow
us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in
blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan, Vietnam,
India, or even Japan, [so] how much more living space can we get? Very trivial!
Only countries like the United
States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass
colonization.
Therefore, solving the “issue
of America” is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it
possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another
China under the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered
by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the white
race. We the descendants of
the Chinese nation are entitled to the possession of the land! It is said that
the residents of the yellow race have a very low social status in the United
States. We need to liberate them. Second, after solving the “issue of America,”
the western countries of Europe would bow to us, not to mention Taiwan, Japan
and other small countries. Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the
mission assigned to the CCP members by history.
I sometimes think how cruel
it is for China and the United States to be enemies that are bound to meet on a
narrow road! Do you remember a movie about Liberation Army Troops led by Liu
Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping? The title is something like “Decisive Battle on the
Central Plains.” There is a famous remark in the movie that is full of power
and grandeur: “The enemies are
bound to meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win!” It is this
kind of fighting to win or die spirit that enabled us to seize power in
Mainland China. It is
historical destiny that China and the United States will come to unavoidable
confrontation on a narrow path and fight each other! The United States,
unlike Russia and Japan, has never occupied and hurt China, and also assisted
China in its battle against the Japanese. But, it will certainly be an
obstruction, and the biggest obstruction! In the long run, the relationship of China and the United
States is one of a life-and-death struggle.
One time, some Americans came
to visit and tried to convince us that the relationship between China and the
United States is one of interdependence. Comrade Xiaoping replied in a polite
manner: “Go tell your government, China and the United States do not have such
a relationship that is interdependent and mutually reliant.” Actually, Comrade
Xiaoping was being too polite, he could have been more frank, “The relationship
between China and the United States is one of life-and-death struggle.” Of
course, right now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our
reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and
technology, we still need America. Therefore, we must do everything we can to
promote our relationship with America, learn from America in all aspects and
use America as an example to reconstruct our country.
How have we managed our
foreign affairs in these years? Even if we had to put on a smiling face in
order to please them, even if we have to give them the right cheek after they
had hit our left cheek, we still must endure in order to further our
relationship with the United States. Do you remember the character of Wuxun in
the movie the “Story of Wuxun”? In order to accomplish his mission, he endured
so much pain and suffered so much beating and kicking! The United States is the
most successful country in the world today. Only after we have learned all of its useful experiences
can we replace it in the future. Even though we are presently imitating
the American tone “China and the United States rely on each other and share
honor and disgrace,” we must not forget that the history of our civilization
repeatedly has taught us that one mountain does not allow two tigers to live
together.
We also must never forget what Comrade Xiaoping emphasized: “Refrain from
revealing ambitions and put others off the track.” The hidden message is: we
must put up with America; we must conceal our ultimate goals, hide our
capabilities, and await the opportunity. In this way, our mind is
clear. Why have we not updated our national anthem with something peaceful? Why
did we not change the anthem’s theme of war? Instead, when revising the
Constitution this time, for the first time we clearly specified “March of the
Volunteers” is our national anthem. Thus we will understand why we constantly
talk loudly about the “Taiwan issue” but not the “American issue.” We all know the principle of “doing
one thing under the cover of another.” If ordinary people can only see
the small island of Taiwan in their eyes, then you as the elite of our country
should be able to see the whole picture of our cause. Over these years,
according to Comrade Xiaoping’s arrangement, a large piece of our territory in
the North has been given up to Russia; do you really think our Party Committee
is a fool?
To resolve the issue of
America we must be able to transcend conventions and restrictions. In history,
when a country defeated another country or occupied another country, it could
not kill all the people in the conquered land because back then you could not
kill people effectively with sabers or long spears, or even with rifles or
machine guns. Therefore, it was impossible to gain a stretch of land without
keeping the people on that land. However, if we conquered America in this
fashion, we would not be able to make many people migrate there.
Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead
the Chinese people there. This is the only choice left for us. This is not a matter of
whether we are willing to do it or not. What kind of special means is there
available for us to “clean up America”?
Conventional weapons such as fighters, canons, missiles and battleships
won’t do; neither will highly destructive weapons such as nuclear weapons. We
are not as foolish as to want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons,
despite the fact that we have been exclaiming that we will have the Taiwan
issue resolved at whatever cost. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we
be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been rapid development of
modern biological technology, and new bio-weapons have been invented one after
another. Of course, we have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the
opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our
purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still
with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right
decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing
lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.
From a humanitarian
perspective, we should issue a warning to the American people and persuade them
to leave America and leave the land they have lived in to the Chinese people.
Or at least they should leave half of the United States to be China’s colony,
because America was first discovered by the Chinese. But would this work? If
this strategy does not work, then there is only one choice left to us. That is,
use decisive means to “clean up” America and reserve America for our use in a
moment. Our historical experience has proven that as long as we make it happen,
nobody in the world can do anything about us. Furthermore, if the United States as the leader is gone,
then other enemies have to surrender to us.
Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the
Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are
strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place.
According to the computation of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of
the Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people!
Just after the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people,
while today the official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion.
This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who knows how
soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half
the population will have to go.
We must prepare ourselves for
two scenarios. If our
biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack, the Chinese people will be
able to keep their losses at a minimum in the fight against the United States.
If, however, the attack fails and triggers a nuclear retaliation from the
United States, China would perhaps suffer a catastrophe in which more than half
of its population would perish. That is why we need to be ready with air
defense systems for our big and medium-sized cities. Whatever the case may be,
we can only move forward fearlessly, for the sake of our Party and State and
our nation’s future, regardless of the hardships we have to face and the
sacrifices we have to make. The
population, even if more than half dies, can be reproduced. But if the Party
falls, everything is gone, and forever gone.
In Chinese history, in the
replacement of dynasties, the ruthless have always won and the benevolent have
always failed. The most typical example involved Xiang Yu the King of Chu, who,
after defeating Liu Bang, failed to continue to chase after him and eliminate
his forces, and his leniency resulted in Xiang Yu’s death and Liu’s victory ….
Therefore, we must emphasize the importance of adopting resolute measures. In
the future, the two rivals, China and the United States, will eventually meet
each other in a narrow road, and
our leniency to the Americans will mean cruelty toward the Chinese people.
Here some people may want to
ask me: What about the several millions of our compatriots in the United
States? They may ask: aren’t we against Chinese killing other Chinese?
These comrades are too pedantic; they are not pragmatic enough. If we had
insisted on the principle that the Chinese should not kill other Chinese, would
we have liberated China? As for the several million Chinese living in the United States,
this is of course a big issue. Therefore,
in recent years, we have been conducting research on genetic weapons, i.e.,
those weapons that do not kill yellow people. But producing a result with this
kind of research is extremely difficult.
Of the research done on genetic weapons throughout the world, Israel is
the most advanced. Their genetic weapons are designed to target Arabs and
protect the Israelis. But even they have not reached the stage of actual
deployment. We have cooperated with Israel on some research. Perhaps we can
introduce some of the technologies used to protect Israelis and remold these
technologies to protect the yellow people. But their technologies are not
mature yet, and it is difficult for us to surpass them in a few years. If it
has to be five or ten years before some breakthrough can be achieved in genetic
weapons, we cannot afford to wait any longer.
Old comrades like us cannot
afford to wait that long, for we don’t have that much time to live. Old
soldiers of my age may be able to wait for five or ten more years, but those
from the period of the anti-Japanese War or the few old Red Army soldiers
cannot wait any longer.
Therefore, we have to give up
our expectations about genetic weapons. Of course, from another perspective,
the majority of those Chinese living in the United States have become our burden, because they have
been corrupted by the bourgeois liberal values for a long time and it would be
difficult for them to accept our Party’s leadership. If they survived the war,
we would have to launch campaigns in the future to deal with them, to reform
them. Do you still remember that when we had just defeated the Koumintang
(KMT) and liberated Mainland China, so many people from the bourgeois class and
intellectuals welcomed us so very warmly, but later we had to launch campaigns
such as the “suppression of the reactionaries” and “Anti-Rightist Movement” to
clean them up and reform them? Some of them were in hiding for a long time and
were not exposed until the Cultural Revolution. History has proved that any
social turmoil is likely to involve many deaths.
Maybe we can put it this way:
death is the engine that
moves history forward. During the period of the three kingdoms, how many people
died? When Genghis Khan conquered Eurasia, how many people died? When Manchu
invaded the interior of China, how many people died? Not many people died
during the 1911 Revolution, but when we overthrew the Three Great Mountains,
and during the political campaigns such as “suppression of the reactionaries,”
“Three-Anti-Campaign,” and “Five-Anti-Campaign,” at least 20 million people
died. We were apprehensive that some young people today would be
trembling with fear when they hear about wars and people dying.
During wartime, we were used to seeing dead people. Blood and flesh
were flying everywhere, corpses were lying in heaps on the fields, and blood
ran like rivers. We saw it all. On the battlefields, everybody’s eyes turned
red with killing because it was a life-and-death struggle and only the brave
would survive.
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 Party, life has always been above all else! History will
prove that we made the right choice.
Now, when I am about to
finish my speech, you probably understand why we wanted to know, whether the
people would rise against us if one day we secretly adopt resolute means to
“clean up” America. For over twenty years, China has been enjoying peace, and a
whole generation has not been tested by war. In particular, since the end of
World War II, there have been many changes in the formats of war, the concept
of war and the ethics of war. Especially since the collapse of the former
Soviet Union and Eastern European Communist states, the ideology of the West
has come to dominate the world as a whole, and the Western theory of human
nature and western view of human rights have increasingly been disseminated
among the young people in China. Therefore, we were not very sure about the
people’s attitude. If our people are fundamentally opposed to “cleaning up”
America, we will, of course, have to adopt corresponding measures.
Why didn’t we conduct the
survey through administrative means instead of through the web? We did what we
did for a good reason.
First of all, we did it to
reduce artificial inference and to make sure that we got the true thoughts of
the people. In addition, it is more confidential and won’t reveal the true
purpose of our survey. But what is most important is the fact that most of the
people who are able to respond to the questions online are from social groups
that are relatively well-educated and intelligent. They are the hard-core and
leading groups that play a decisive role among our people. If they support us,
then the people as a whole will follow us. If they oppose us, they will play
the dangerous role of inciting people and creating social disturbance.
What turned out to be very comforting is they did not turn in a blank
test paper. In fact, they turned in a test paper with a score of over 80. This
is the excellent fruition of our Party’s work in propaganda and education over
the past few decades.
Of course, a few people under western influence have objected to shooting
at prisoners of war and women and children. Is everybody crazy? Some others
said, “The Chinese love to label themselves as a peace-loving people, but
actually they are the most ruthless people. The comments are resonant of
killing and murdering, sending chills to my heart.”
Although there are not too
many people holding this kind of viewpoint and they will not affect the overall
situation in any significant way, but we still need to strengthen the
propaganda to respond to this kind of argument.
That is to vigorously
propagate Comrade He Xin’s latest article, which has already been reported to
the central government. You may look it up on the website.
If you get on the website
using key words to search, you will find out that a while ago comrade He Xin
pointed out to the Hong Kong Business News during an interview that: “The U.S.
has a shocking conspiracy.” According to what he had in hand, from September 27
to October 1, 1995, the Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachev Foundation, funded by the
United States, gathered 500 of the world’s most important statesmen, economic
leaders and scientists, including George W. Bush (he was not the U.S. president
at the time), the Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as well
as George Soros, Bill Gates, futurist John Naisbitt, etc., all of the world’s
most popular characters, in the San Francisco Fairmont hotel for a high-level
roundtable conference, discussing problems about globalization and how to guide
humanity to move forward into the 21st century. According to what He Xin had in
hand, the outstanding people
of the world in attendance thought that in the 21st century a mere 20 percent
of the world’s population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy
and prosperity, the other 80 percent or 4/5ths of the world’s population will
be human garbage unable to produce new values. The people in attendance thought
that this excess 80 percent population would be a trash population and
“high-tech” means should be used to eliminate them gradually.
{JRN note: In this bit of mirror-imaging we find the very likeness
of the Communist Bloc in terms of war plans involving the use of weapons of
mass destruction. It is bizarre to assert there is a similar intention in the
West, which is politically and socially incapable of following through on any
such plans. Was the San Francisco event a provocation?}
Since the enemies are
secretly planning to eliminate our population, we certainly cannot be
infinitely merciful and compassionate to them. Comrade He Xin’s article came
out at the right time, it has proven the correctness of our tit for tat battle
approach … [and] Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s great foresight to deploy against the
United States military strategy.
Certainly, in spreading Comrade He Xin’s views, we cannot publish the
article in the Party newspapers, in order to avoid raising the enemy’s
vigilance. He Xin’s conversation may
remind the enemy that we have grasped the modern science and technology,
including “clean” nuclear technology as well as biological weapons technology,
and we can use powerful measures to eliminate their population on a large
scale.
{JRN note: General Chi makes a subtle point. They cannot hide
everything, but they can hide what is most alarming and most decisive.}
The last problem I want to
talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle.
Currently, we are at the
crossroad of moving forward or backward. Some comrades saw problems flooding
everywhere in our country – the corruption problem, the state-owned enterprise
problem, the bank’s bad accounts problem, environmental problems, society
security problems, education problems, the AIDS problem, various appeals
problems, even the riots problem. These comrades vacillated in the
determination to prepare for military battles. They thought: they should first
grab the political reform problem, that is, our own political reform comes
first. After resolving the domestic problems, we can then deal with the foreign
military battle problem.
This reminds me of the crucial period in 1948 in the Chinese Revolution.
At that time the People’s Liberation Army’s “horses were drinking water” in the
Yangtze River, but they faced extremely complex situations and difficult
problems everywhere in the liberated areas, and the central authority received
emergency reports daily. What to do? Should we stop to manage rear areas and
internal matters first before moving forward, or press on to pass the Yangtze
River with one vigorous effort? Chairman Mao, with his extraordinary wisdom and
mettle gave the marching order “Carry on the revolution to the end,” and
liberated all of China. The previously thought “serious” conflicting problems were all
resolved in this great forward moving revolutionary wave.
Now, it seems like we are in the same critical period as the “horses were
drinking water” in the Yangtze River days in the revolutionary era, as long as
we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will
all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to
aim at Taiwan but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is
far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites.
Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of China’s
century. As war approaches, I am full of hope for our next generation.
