Comments on Chinese Dragon Awakens

We are beginning to be inundated with an onslaught of propaganda regarding our newest enemy, China, as we are reprogrammed to think of the Middle Kingdom as our greatest threat.

I am beginning to see articles regarding China being cut and pasted from Google and this is a grave error, the poster is nothing more than a spreader of propaganda, an unwitting tool used by the administration to further their agenda.

Since the American public fell wholeheartedly into the Iraq propaganda trap which was implemented to garner public support for Bush’s invasion of Iraq it would be prudent to take a closer look at the ‘Chinese Dragon Awakens'.

"There's a growing consensus that at some point in the mid-to-late '90s, there was a fundamental shift in the sophistication, breadth and re-sorting of Chinese defense planning," said Richard Lawless, a senior China-policy maker in the Pentagon.

It was in the late ‘90s that Zbigniew Brzezinski’s ‘The Grand Chessboard’ was published calling for the U.S. dominance of Eurasia which includes all of the territory east of Germany and Poland, stretching all the way through Russia and China to the Pacific Ocean. It includes the Middle East and most of the Indian subcontinent. A quick scrutiny of Brzezinski’s book published in 1997 shows that the U.S. is an avid player of his Grand Game.

Two years after Brzezinski’s book detailing how the United States should contain China hit the stands China’s Master Plan to Destroy America, ‘Unrestricted Warfare’ was published.

Energy supply a factor
For China, Taiwan is not the only issue behind the buildup of military forces. Beijing also is facing a major energy shortage that, according to one Pentagon study, could lead it to use military force to seize territory with oil and gas resources.

The United States has been attempting to control all of the flow of oil to China in an effort to starve the energy hungry giant into submission. China is facing a major energy shortage because of the United States.

In a world that runs on oil, the nation that controls the flow of oil has great strategic power. U.S. policy-makers want leverage over the economies of competitors -- Western Europe, Japan and China -- that are more dependent on Middle Eastern oil.

The U.S. is not interested in Caspian oil to supply its own internal industry. The U.S. is grabbing for control of the Caspian oil fields because other countries need this oil--and because the U.S. wants to control them. Other imperialist rivals--including Germany and Japan--are "energy poor" and need access to oilfields outside their borders. Most Third World countries are heavily dependent on imported oil.

For Pentagon officials, alarm bells have been going off for the past two years as China's military began rapidly building and buying new troop- and weapon-carrying ships and submarines.

Again there is no mention that the United States has been threatening China.

According to a Chinese white paper, Beijing sees “new negative developments” in the Asia-Pacific region. These include a strengthening US military presence and bilateral military alliances in China’s neighbourhood, and US development of a theatre missile defence system and plans to deploy it in Asia. “The Taiwan Straits situation is complicated and grim,” the white paper states.

Following are some of the ways we have been threatening the Dragon.

Taiwan intends to build "nuclear test ground" or "missile base".

We have 90 nukes at the Turkish base of Incirlik and you will still have only a partial list of the weapons, troops, bases and nukes with which we are threatening Russia, China and other countries.

In recent weeks, Washington also has sent 17 Stealth warplanes to South Korea as part of a series of steps to increase pressure on the North.

In mid-April of this year, the Japanese government agreed to let the US Army's 1st Corps transfer from Fort Lewis, Washington, to Camp Zama near Yokohama.

Besides the recent decision to re-deploy the 1st Corps, the US is busily building up Guam as a "power projection hub", with, in the words of Pacific Commander Admiral William Fargo, "geostrategic importance". The US is also trying to shift Guam-based bombers to Yokota airbase near Tokyo. Christopher Hughes of Warwick University, an expert on the region, told the (British) Guardian, "The ramifications of this would be that Japan would essentially serve as a frontline US command post for the Asia-Pacific and beyond."

A number of Bush administration sounding boards, such as neo-conservative Charles Krauthammer, have openly advocated Japan going nuclear as a way to offset the growing influence and power of China. Acquiring nuclear weapons would be relatively easy for Japan, which has plenty of fuel to reprocess, as well as missiles and satellite targeting systems.

In the first step toward erecting a multibillion-dollar shield to protect the United States from foreign missiles, the U.S. Navy will begin deploying state-of-the-art destroyers to patrol the waters off North Korea as early as next week.

The mission, to be conducted in the Sea of Japan by ships assigned to the Navy's 7th Fleet, will help lay the foundation for a system to detect and intercept ballistic missiles launched by "rogue nations." - Sep. 25, 2004

China has already protested the establishment of a Uighur Government-in-Exile in Washington and Beijing has repeatedly made it clear that it will not tolerate any political interference from abroad, where pro-independence Uighur organizations exist. This means us. It would seem we are orchestrating a riot in the Xinjiang province of China. Kyrgyzstan is one of the countries that borders the Xinjiang region.
