Attention ce n’est
pas un exercice! Répétez
après moi : « 你好掌握什么可能我做为您? » (Bonjour Maître que puis-je faire pour
vous ?) L’introduction
de la Chine dans l’arène internationale ne laisse pas indifférent. Le nouveau
joueur ressemble de plus en plus à un jeune gorille en rut de 400 kilos. Chi Haotian, Ministre de la Défense de Chine et
vice-président de la Commission Militaire Centrale de Chine est le numéro 2
Chinois de la stratégie militaire. Il a récemment tenu un discours étonnant à
ses leaders militaires. La traduction anglaise du verbatim chinois est jointe
au document. Une lecture étonnante, saisissante de par la
combinaison de sa teneur et du prestige de son auteur, dont voici quelques
points clés : La supériorité de la race chinoise en comparaison à la
race allemande ou aux autres races. Le besoin de la Chine d’obtenir « plus d’espace
pour vivre », tout en ajoutant que les États-Unis, le Canada et
l’Australie sont les seules places suffisamment grandes pour accommoder les
futurs besoins chinois. Le besoin d’une attaque biologique rapide et efficace
contre les États-Unis pour les dépeupler comme prélude à la conquête, tout en
établissant clairement que la Chine est actuellement à développer des armes
bio ethniques, capable de tuer n’importe qui à l’exception du peuple jaune. Un nettoyage de l’Amérique qui s’impose. La brutalité
de tuer 100 ou 200 millions d’Américains est la seule façon de garantir un
siècle chinois dans lequel la Chine conduira le monde. Ces paroles furent dites, par l’homme qui gère la plus
grosse armée du monde. Ils sont fous à être attachés et ils vont nous plonger
dedans très, très profondément. Article en version originale ici De

speech to his military leadership. What you are about to read is a VERBATIM

the speech, but rather the actual text of the speech itself!
Defense Minster Chi Haotian
Actual Text of the speech: 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 [1]. 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 [2], during which I started
with a discussion of the issue of the three islands [3], 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 mentioned 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 towards
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 [4] thinking is “development is the hard truth.” And
Comrade Jintao [5] has also pointed out repeatedly and empathetically 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 we put it this way? Both Comrade Liu Huaqing [6], one
of the leaders of the old generation in our Party, and Comrade He Xin [7], a
young strategist for 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. In discussing this issue, let us
start from the beginning. As everybody knows, according to
the views propagated by the 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 used 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 Liangzhu Culture
in Zhejiang province, the Jinsha Ruins in Sichuan province, and the Yongzhou
Shun Emperor Cultural Site in Human province are all compelling evidence of
the existence 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, civilization and progress of more than
ten thousand years, an ancient nation of five thousand years, and a single
Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls
itself, “descendents 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, then in the 21st 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 Liu Huaqing
made similar points in early 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. To understand conscientiously
this historical law and to be prepared 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 the national
revitalization 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 on 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 Arian people is to become the “lords of
earth” that “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 China based on
the German model, we must not repeat the mistakes they made. Specifically, the following are
the fundamental causes for the defeat of Germany and Japan: 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 strike at 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 the 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. These two heritages 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, the enemies
would have already reached 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 the power of the country’s executive, 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,
instead of monitoring and choosing him. This is the foundation of our
democratic centralism. The bottom line is, only China,
not Germany, 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 leading 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 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
with 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 one 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 no longer 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 have developed 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 [8], 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 our allies to
victory and make them benefit, they would support us. Therefore, as long
as we can 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 cat, 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 is 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 the 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. That 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 fist 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 defense 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 need 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 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 a significant development in our military forces,
creating conditions for our expansion overseas. Even since Napoleon’s time,
the West has been 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.” Comrade Mao Zedong taught us that
we must have a resolute and correct political orientation. What is our key,
correct orientation? It is to solve the 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 towards 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 and some
other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan,
Vietnam, India, or even Japan, 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 descendents 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 United States. We need to liberate them.
Second, after solving the “issue of America,” the western countries in Europe
would bow to us, not to mention to Taiwan, Japan and other small countries.
Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the mission assigned to 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 United States will come into 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 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 United States is one of a 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 had 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 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 the 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 Central 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
of the population will have to go. We must prepare ourselves for two
scenarios. If our biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack [on
the United States, 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 this leniency resulted in Xiang Yu’s death and Liu’s victory
(during the war between Chu and Han, just after the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC)
was overthrown). 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, the Israeli’s 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 breakthroughs 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 Three Kingdoms [9], 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
[10], and during the political campaigns such as “Suppression of
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 or 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, a 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’s
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 conducted this online survey. Simply
put, through conducting this online survey we wanted to know whether the
people would rise against us if one day we secretly adopt resolute means to
“clean up” America. Would more people support us or oppose us? This is our basic judgment: if
our people approve of shooting at prisoners of war, women and children, then
they would approve our “cleaning 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 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 the
Western influence have objected to shooting at prisoners of war and women and
children. Some of them said, “It is shocking and scary to witness so many
people approving of shooting at 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 US has a shocking conspiracy." According to what he had in
hand, from September 27 to October 1, 1995, the Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachëv
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 US 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 round table 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%
of the world’s population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy
and prosperity, the other 80% or 4/5 of the world’s population will be human
garbage unable to produce new values. The people in attendance thought that
this excess 80% population would be a trash population and
"high-tech" means should be used to eliminate them gradually. 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,
has proven 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, gene weapons technology as
well as biological weapons technology, and we can use powerful measures to
eliminate their population on a large-scale. The last problem I want to talk
about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle. Currently, we are at the cross
road 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
problem, even the riots problem. These comrades vacillated in the
determination to prepare for the military battle. 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 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 firmly seize the most basic
principle of preparing for the military battle. The central committee
believes, 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 the new society. Therefore war is the midwife
for the birth of China’s century. As war approaches, I am full of hope for
our next generation. *** Notes: [1] Sina.com is one of the

solider, and if are under the orders of your commanding officers, will you
shoot at women, children and prisoners of war?” 34% of the visitors answered
they would shoot under any circumstances even without permission from their
commanding officer. 48.6% of the visitors replied that they would shoot when
the lives of themselves or their companies are threatened. Only 3.8% of the
participants held they would not shoot under any circumstances. Those who
agreed to shoot were mostly under the age of 25. [2] “War Is Approaching Us” [3] “Three islands” refer to
