Is this article further evidence of the USA's long-standing and xenophobic practice of demonising China and inciting hatred towards the Chinese people? When will it end (if it ever does)?

How soon will it be before the Pentagon or White House come up with some ridiculous excuse or other to include China in their 'axis of evil'?

" As incredible as it may be to believe, three years before the Sept. 11 bombing of the World Trade Center a Chinese military manual titled Unrestricted Warfare touted such an attack – suggesting it would be difficult for the U.S. military to cope with.

Here is an excerpt from Unrestricted Warfare:

“Whether it be the intrusions of hackers, a major explosion at the World Trade Center, or a bombing attack by bin Laden, all of these greatly exceed the frequency bandwidths understood by the American military...”

Now NewsMax.com is making the CIA translation of this shocking book available to all Americans.

On Sept. 11, 2001, Americans and the world witnessed one of the most horrific acts ever to take place on American soil.

Our media and government were quick to declare the acts of that day as simply terrorism by a nationless group known as al-Qaeda.

In reading China’s military manual Unrestricted Warfare, you will learn that the events of Sept. 11 were not a random act perpetrated by independent agents.

Instead, Chinese military planners believe that terrorism is just one of the many tools at the hands of nations and their terrorist allies to wage total war against the United States.

You will be surprised to learn:

The two PLA colonels who authored Unrestricted Warfare have been hailed as heroes in China since Sept. 11

The Chinese state-run propaganda machine is cashing in on the terror attacks ... producing books, films and video games glorifying the strikes as a humbling blow against an arrogant nation.

Chinese Communist Party officials are saying that President Jiang Zemin has obsessively and gleefully watched and re-watched pictures of the aircraft crashing into the World Trade Center.

The CIA’s own translation agency reported that this book identifies the U.S. as China’s main enemy, and details how a weak nation can destroy America using unorthodox attacks – like the 9-11 attacks.

China is preparing itself and encouraging others to engage the U.S. in total war. The book is chock full of plans and strategies, from using computers, to smuggling illegal immigrants, to manipulating the stock markets, to influencing the U.S. media, to using weapons of mass destruction – all to destroy America.

Recent press reports indicate that China has assisted and continues to assist militarily and economically the Taliban and al-Qaeda – even after Sept. 11.

The doctrine of total war outlined in Unrestricted Warfare clearly demonstrates that the People’s Republic of China is preparing to confront the United States and our allies by conducting “asymmetrical” or multidimensional attacks on almost every aspect of our social, economic and political life.

The media and Congress are keeping a lid on this book because of the implications of U.S.-China economic and trade relations.

Here’s what others say about Unrestricted Warfare:

“You need to read Unrestricted Warfare because it reveals China’s game plan in its coming war with America.. ... China thinks it can destroy America by using these tactics.”

Adm. Thomas Moorer
Former Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff

“The 9-11 attacks may just be the beginning. Many terrorist nations and groups will try to imitate this operation … and China’s war book Unrestricted Warfare will be their text.”

Maj. Gen. John K. Singlaub
Former Chief of Staff,
US Forces Korea

“Unrestricted Warfare is evidence linking China to 9-11. It is also their plan for global operations against America.”

No, I don't think so....unless you also think the Sunday Sport is evidence of the UK's slide into degeneracy.

I think you have to look at Newsmax for what it is and that is a loss making media group whose shareholders appear to be those on the far right of Republicanism.

There is plenty to discover about newsmax on the internet, but here is a good start.

http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2002/nmstock.html

In short the site is funded by right wingers and is desperate to flog books, subscriptions, anyway it can as it is losing money big time.

The New York Times it ain't

If you were to ask is the site whipping up anti Chinese sentiment, then yes of course it is. But it clearly doesn't represent the US Government, much less mainstream US opinion. Even the retired officers who comment on the book retired decades ago, so they don't really represent the US military.

I just don't think you can take the sales hungry rantings of one website as being "evidence of the USA's long-standing and xenophobic practice of demonising China and inciting hatred towards the Chinese people". The site isn't "The USA" and doesn't represent it, it has its own agenda.

Personally, I don't see criticising the Communist Party government of China is the same as criticising or being prejudiced against Chinese people. I see those as 2 separate issues. As a Chinese person, I have some loyalty and affection towards China as country, but I do not feel obliged to support the present Communist government. Why would I? They are just the 'current managers' and proper examination (and criticism if needed) of how they run the country should be encouraged.

This is not a reflection of the validity of the article or the website, which I'm not in a position to judge, but I don't have an immediate problem if people criticise the Chinese Communist Party's policies, and I would certainly not jump to the conclusion that any 'demonizing' is going on.

For decades the USA has actively pursued a strategy of China-bashing and trying to undermine its' position and influence in the world community, whilst at the same time making empty gestures and noises about wanting to improve relations with China.

Rather than having any genuine consideration or concern for the human rights or welfare of the people in China or Taiwan, America uses the humans rights issue as well as the One China policy and Taiwan as expedient bargaining tools to be employed as and when necessary to extract what they can for their own personal gain in diplomatic and trade negotiations with China.

I would stress that this is my own opinion derived from observations I have made over the years. It is unlikely to change unless and until the USA changes its' underhand and duplicitous policies and tactics, not only towards China but towards other parts of the world. Others may take another view.

The governments of each country have had completely opposing political and economic views. For decades the US has seen communism as a threat to its existence and China has seen capitalism as a threat to its existence.

As one would expect there has been, and continues to be, a propoganda war. Both sides produce propoganda, whether that be simply by putting a particular spin on genuine stories or by propogating false stories. Both China and the US, and for that matter every goverment on earth, does it.

That is politics. China and the US may be an extreme example, simply because they do see each others political systems as a threat, but there is nothing unusual about it.

America sees anything that is not American as against their nation, and rightly so as they are one of the major super powers. Its just like a rich man watching over his gold bullions.
