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.
