Sino-American Confrontation. The View From China.

What follows is a preamble to an interview conducted by Iranian TV with Paul Craig Roberts former Assistant Treasury Secretary during the Reagan Administration. The interview can be viewed below the Chinese introduction.

The translated Chinese text gives a perspective not seen in the official "sanitized" international English language Chinese Press which tries to present a very non-controversial face to the outside world. The text reflects the thinking of the Maoist faction both within and outside the CCP. I'll leave it to the readers to draw their own conclusions.


By Zhang Hongliang: Recently, including this interview with Paul Craig Roberts, a growing number of U.S. opinion makers have publicly acknowledged that the so-called "Arab Spring" turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa, in particular, NATO's military aggression against Libya has been planned by the United States, and its main strategic goal is directed against China. The killing of bin Laden by the United States marks, for the time being, an end to the war on terror, the next focus will be to concentrate its energy on China, a strategy which they hope will lead to the complete disintegration of China. In this regard, the United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, brimming with self-confidence explicitly stated: China would soon follow in the footsteps of the Middle East and North Africa and is trying to “stop history, which is a fool's errand. They cannot do it. But they're going to hold it off as long as possible.” The development and evolution of the situation, fully confirms the basic conclusion - the main purpose for the United States' plan for fomenting turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East is to drive China out of Africa, and the major purpose for the U.S. manufacturing a civil war in Libya, is to make Libya a miniature facsimile of China.
 
During the negotiations between the United States and China's Wang Qishan, a Foreign Ministry spokesman refuted Clinton's assertion and maintained that the political climate in the Middle East and North Africa would not be replicated in China. But simply open the world map and then look at the political, economic and cultural situation of today's China, and you will find that Hillary Clinton's clear intent was not to make empty rhetoric or an off-hand joke.

There are ten U.S. military bases surrounding China serving to encircle and contain China.. In addition, Japan and various Southeast Asian countries are joining hands to infringe on China's territorial waters serving as a huge fence trying to surround the Chinese mainland and reduce its resources to the verge of exhaustion. For 30 years the U.S. has nurtured the formation of a large force of comprador traitors who have colluded with Western capitalist groups through a series of colonial rules, to turn China into an "international cash cow" with a big belly filled with hay for the sake of their own enrichment. Under the circumstances in which surrounding resources are being depleted, China has become the first "international cash cow" to go far afield to Africa to seek survival and development of utilizable resources; China will become the first "international cash cow," to break through the fence of the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, to get the African "hay" it needs to survive. This is the main reason that the United States has gotten into the Middle East and North Africa, to get this break away "International cash cow", to go back to mainland China. After 30 years, all the multinational cluster of Western countries in China, have almost exhausted the resources of the Chinese mainland, and now, they want to drive the cattle back into its stall, to get its last drop of milk, the result can only be to kill it and eat its meat.

This is the ultimate fate that the U.S. has arranged for China. This is the fundamental basis for Hillary's statement.

Faced with the chaos in the Middle East and North Africa, we have to admire the United States Grand Strategy and the big picture, and the implementation of an international strategy of high efficiency. In October, 2007 the U.S. established its African Command, in just less than four years it has developed a strategy to try to drive China out of the African continent, and confine it once again into the resource depleted East Asian mainland.

Based on the efficacy and military record of the U.S. Africa Command, one can take a look at the other headquarters set up by the U.S. In 2010 – the U.S. Cyber Command. In so doing we have to attach great importance to Hillary's clear-cut political conclusions.

Relative to the U.S. Africa Command, dealing with the African continent's more than 50 countries, 800 ethnic groups and 1,000 languages, the current U.S. Cyber Command's task is much easier, because the four major Chinese web portals are under U.S. control. For instance, the majority of the cultural elite in charge of China's media are under U.S. control and influence, especially many of the bureaucrats in charge of China's administrative resources, financial resources and media resources are under U.S. control. It would therefore not be anymore difficult to stage an "Arabian Spring," in China than to push China out of Africa. Hillary thus has a sufficient basis for confidence. In contrast, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman rejected Hillary Clinton's talk in typical bureaucratese and did not see any real foundation for her statement

In recent years, we have been talking about how the 21st century will be a period of change in social history, the world has entered a period of cultural transition. China has entered a period of political transition, the main content is the transition from a period of elite political rule to a period of mass political rule. The transition will focus mainly on the contradictions in China. The question is whether China will disintegrate or dramatically ascend. The United States corporatists are confident that the China will disintegrate. the Maoists among the Chinese Communists have confidence in the ascendancy of China. The turmoil in the Middle East and North Africa mark that the world transition has already begun, and the United States wants to transfer this upheaval to China.

China has to be well-prepared for the times. The most effective preparation is spiritual preparation, that is the whole country must be burning with the raging fire of idealism and it seems that our current rival the U.S. is the same. Although the idealism of the United States is a Christian fundamentalist idealism, although it is an idealism reeking of blood, as long as there is idealism, it will certainly be able to overcome disunity and cynicism. Only idealism can overcome idealism and only revolutionary idealism can overcome barbaric idealism. 
 
Today is May 16 , it is the 45 anniversary of the outbreak of the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. No matter how people look back at the outbreak of this great unprecedented revolution 45 years ago, one thing is undeniable, the Chinese nation of that time was an idealist nation, the Chinese people of that time were an idealistic people, so the China of that time was a secure China and there was no threat of disintegration. The China of that time was full of heroic people and full of youthful energy. Then the U.S. Capitalists were afraid of China.

These words written down today can be taken as a commemoration of the 45th anniversary of the Cultural Revolution.
