- John Kerry has gained the support of the largest political
party in the world. The official online news outlet for communist China,
the People's Daily, endorsed the Senator from Massachusetts for President
of the United States.
-
- "Comparatively speaking, Kerry is noted for being
friendly with China. He was once firmly against linking the most-favored-nation
status to China with human rights," stated an article on the U.S.
Presidential race posted by the official Chinese Central Communist Party
news outlet. "From a long-term view, a Democratic administration,
which stresses international cooperation, pursues 'multilateralism' and
stands for a policy of contacts, will be better for both world peace and
Sino-U.S. relations," noted the People's Daily article.
-
- According to the communist Chinese, Kerry looks "squarely
at China's position and influence in Asia and the world at large"
and that the Democrat candidate opposes "containment of China and
stand for contacts with the country."
-
- "He said: We need cooperation with China and cannot
push Sino-U.S. relationship back to the Cold War period," states the
Chinese news site. According to the communist officials, Kerry supports
the "one-China" principle and opposes "Taiwan independence."
-
- "At a broadcasting debate held in January this year,
he alarmingly expressed support for the solution of the Taiwan issue by
the method of 'one country, two systems' which triggered strong repercussion.
Although this maybe a remark made at the spur of the moment, it reflected
that his attitude toward the Taiwan issue is different from that of Bush,"
noted the People's Daily.
-
- "There are no 'neo-cons' in Kerry's campaign team,
and most of his men can rationally approach the common interests and actual
differences between the two countries," stated the report.
-
- Inferior Races
-
- The report on the U.S. Presidential race appeared alongside
another article that accused the Bush administration of disrupting world
peace and seeking global dominance over "inferior" races and
civilizations. "China has never done anything offensive to the United
States; nor has it posed threats to America's security interest,"
claimed the official Chinese communist statement.
-
- "However, what China has gained in return is U.S.
bombing of the innocent Chinese Embassy in Yugoslavia, U.S. consistent
sea and air reconnaissance in China's offshore areas and U.S. crash of
a PLA airplane," noted the official statement.
-
- "The U.S. government not only accuses China of its
human right records every year; The Americans, like fanatic missionaries,
are trying to impose American freedom, democracy and concept of value on
the world's 'inferior' races and civilizations. This concept of towering
above others is inevitably reflected in the American foreign policy."
-
- Nuke L.A.
-
- Of course, the official PRC outlet failed to mention
the fact that General Xiong Guankai, deputy chief of staff for PLA intelligence
and second in command of all PLA forces threatened the U.S. with nuclear
war.
-
- "He wanted to turn Los Angles into radioactive glass,"
stated William Triplett, author of "Year of the Rat" and defense
analyst. "He threatened the United States with nuclear weapons. He
is not a nice guy."
-
- The official PRC statement also neglected to quote Document
1999 65 from the PLA Office of the Central Military Commission. The document
noted that the Chinese government is prepared to fight a nuclear war with
the U.S. and has sent official messages to back up its threat.
-
- "In comparison with the U.S. nuclear arsenal, our
disadvantage is mainly numeric, while in real wars the qualitative gap
will be reflected only as different requirements of strategic theory. In
terms of deterrence, there is not any difference in practical value. So
far we have built up the capability for the second and the third nuclear
strikes and are fairly confident in fighting a nuclear war. The PCC has
decided to pass through formal channels this message to the top leaders
of the U.S.," states the official PLA document.
-
- PRC Military Exercise
-
- The recent official press release from the communist
government comes at the same time China is conducting military exercises
near Taiwan. Over 3,000 soldiers and civilians took part in a two-day weekend
military exercise off the southeastern coast amid increasing tensions with
Taiwan. Officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), militia
and paramilitary police participated in the drill, which concluded on Sunday
in Zhangzhou, East China's Fujian Province.
-
- The drill also included ships from the PLA Navy auxiliary
marine civilian militia warships and the state owned shipping firm COSCO.
The civilian ships performed simulated landing exercises and fired ground-to-air
guided missiles.
-
- "Receiving orders, the defense mobilization committee
of the city of Zhangzhou rapidly mobilized and organized the local citizens
to enter a state of war," stated the official PRC Xinhua news outlet.
-
- While the Chinese did not name any future opponent, according
to the official PRC outlet, "the PLA and the Taiwan army are now both
conducting military exercises."
-
- The Chinese military exercise focused on how to provide
civilian and militia support to the PLA on the sea "when the war broke
out." Lieutenant General Zhu Wenquan, commander of the Nanjing Military
Region, and Lu Zhangong, governor and acting Communist Party chief of Fujian
Province, attended the exercises.
-
- "People's war is the heirloom of our Party and our
army. People's war is able to help us win fights in the future. People's
war can help us finish the great cause of reunification," Zhu said.
-
- Red Info Warfare
-
- Xinhua also reports that former Chinese President Jiang
Zemin called on Chinese military forces to be equipped with information
technology for the strategic goal of winning information warfare.
-
- Jiang, who remains chairman of Central Military Commission
(CMC), made the call in Beijing while meeting with delegates attending
a military seminar. Current Chinese President Hu Jintao, and Defense Minister
General Cao Gangchuan also attended the meeting.
-
- "In recent years, the military forces have made
remarkable progress," said Jiang, stressing that the People's Liberation
Army is under the absolute leadership of the communist party.
