In a recent article entitled “China’s Major Strategy in the Next 20 Years,” Lieutenant General Liu Yazhou, deputy political commissar of China’s air force, and son-in-law of China’s former president Li Xiannian, described China’s Operation Decapitation against the U.S. this way: “the U.S. is the head of the forces for Taiwan’s independence, and it is important to first cut off this head.”
President Hu Jintao of China will visit the U.S. in September. It will be a sensitive time for Sino-U.S. relations and also a moment of global focus on the U.S. and China. How should we look at the U.S., China, and the CCP? How can we look through layers of mist and see the true nature?
Has the U.S. been fully alerted and taken effective measures—that is a question that will affect the future of the U.S. and even the fate of mankind.
The CCP is challenging the faith of the U.S. in human dignity and, through exploiting the false image of its economic boom, has succeeded in silencing the outside criticism of its human rights record by offering economic benefits. The continuation of the numbness and callousness already evident in the Western bloc headed by the U.S. will prove to be a huge calamity for humanity.
The Change in the World’s Pattern and the Predicament of the U.S.
After the Cold War ended, Europe, in its attempt to seek equal status with the U.S., began to court Russia and China to contain the U.S. Asian nations are trying to free themselves of the U.S. clout, particularly, with China starting to seek hegemony and North Korea doubling its efforts to increase its ability to confront the U.S. by acquiring nuclear weapons. A corrupt and incompetent United Nations, is unable to play a fair role in international affairs. The attacks on the U.S. by the terrorists has depleted the U.S. of large amounts of human, financial, and material resources.
Will the U.S. be marginalized? Will the U.S. still be able to undertake its responsibilities for maintaining and promoting the cause of freedom? Where will the biggest challenge to the U.S. in the future come from? The answers to all the above questions will test the values, resolve, wisdom and ability of the U.S.
In the face of terrorist attacks, the U.S. has not faltered, and has shown unprecedented resolve by taking decisive and effective measures. And yet, a larger challenge is quietly but surely emerging. This challenge is far more daunting than the extremists’ terrorism because it is larger in scale, deeper in menace, and most of all harder to detect. And that threat is none other than the CCP’s export of alternative terrorism.
The Biggest Challenge and Threat to the U.S.
Though the war on terror has been on the top of the U.S. agenda, the small number of extremist terrorists could not possibly pose the biggest threat to the U.S. They obviously could not cause a substantive impact on the U.S. society as a whole, still less will they be able to shake the foundation of the U.S. society. The terrorists are far inferior in terms of morality, economics, human resources, and operations, a fact that would enable the U.S. to easily mobilize a world alliance against terrorism and achieve a quick victory.
The threat from the CCP, however, is far more menacing.
The CCP’s Nature Remains Unchanged
For decades the CCP has been lying low, waiting for its time to come, and yet its nature has not changed one bit. While it energetically develops its economy, the CCP stands still politically, and has regressed in recent years in human rights. Christians, Catholics, family church goers, democracy activists, and journalists are being suppressed; tens of millions of Falun Gong practitioners are being persecuted, with thousands of them brutally killed. The violence and the terror it has caused, are to sustain the tyranny of the CCP’s one party rule. Lies about SARS and the house arrest of Dr. Jiang Yanyong are sufficient to prove that the CCP treats the lives of the Chinese people and the people of other nations as dirt. The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party published by the Epoch Times at the end of 2004 give a most in-depth account of the CCP’s nature.
