A Nation Asleep

In probably his best column in the last few months, Lev Navrozov again presents the idea that if the US does not wake up to the Chinese threat right now it will then get taken over by China in the near future. He also brings up a good example of an article in Newsweek that helps to show how the main stream media distorts facts about China so as to make it seem harmless to America in particular and the West in general.

The article by Melinda Liu uses "Program 863" as an example of China’s hunger for new technology, thus making it sound like all that the PRC wants is to research technology that will help to raise China from a status as a developing nation to an industrialized nation. This is an obvious attempt to hide from the readership the real intent of the program, which is to develop post-nuclear super weapons in seven fields that would allow China to destroy the US with a single unanswerable attack. In the end allowing China to elevate from second power status to “only superpower status” it has strived to achieve for the past five millennia.

So hopefully we in the West heed Mr. Navrozov's warning to wake up now or one day we shall never wake up at all, or if we do then it will be to a nightmare world of being enslaved by the PRC.

A Steamroller for an Economy

As expected by most financial analysts, China’s economy has grown at an unbelievably blistering rate of 9.9% for the 2005 fiscal year. This was much higher then the 8% expected and predicted by the government economic planning board, also known as the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). In the fourth quarter alone the growth was 9.9%, which again was higher then predicted by the government.

In addition, China has continued to revise its numbers from last year as well as years past (1974 to 2004 to be more specific). The PRC is forced to do this because the continually understate their growth in order to stay under the radar and try not to draw to much attention that could lead to the West waking up to the new Communist threat.

This year’s growth at even present unrevised numbers have pulled China way ahead of the British, French, and Italians, who it trailed at this time last year. Now next up are the Germans and the Japanese who are two and three in the world in terms of their economies.

This will leave only the US, which is no problem for the Chinese since America is so dependent on the PRC continuing to support the massive US debt. When China decides that it no longer needs the US and is ready to make its move for world dominance it will simply cut America off from its funds and we will collapse economically.

As always, this problem has been brought on by the West, without whose investment China would never have been able to grow at even a minimal rate. On top of that, the problem was amplified when China was allowed to enter the free market. All this help has allowed the rise of a nation which will ultimately lead the destruction of the Western world.

What China has done is used the hand of the planned economic state to cutoff the invisible hand of the free market. Now the US and Europe are left to hope for help from the hand of G-d, although the way the West shuns religion even that looks bleak.

Who's Behind Iran?

As the world focuses its attention on Iran, the media is missing one important player in this very dangerous scenario. Thanks to the press, we all know about the help that Russia gives to the Iranian mullahs, yet most of the world media has been very quite about maybe the largest supporter of the Islamic Republic, which goes by the name of the Peoples Republic of China.

While Russia provides Iran with the scientists and the technology to develop its nuclear program, it is China that has bankrolled Iran’s nuclear activities. Not only that, it is China that is the main supplier of Iranian arms, it is China that is Iran's largest trade partner, it is China that has helped to protect Iran's assets, and it is China that is protecting Iran at the UN.

The PRC while not wanting to have a disruption in its oil supply knows that the US would have a hard time winning a war with Iran. Even if US only conducts an air strike it will still have to face a retaliation by Iran that will most likely see a massive rise in terrorist activity in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel. It is this knowledge that is driving China to encourage Iran to develop nuclear weapons in order to act as the Chinese counterweight to America's nuclear armed ally Israel. This is the same scenario that the PRC has used with N. Korea being a counterweight to American South East Asian allies S. Korea and Japan.

In any scenario that the US chooses, from an air strike to doing nothing, it will end up in a weaker position in the Middle East and the world. This is exactly what China wants, as it uses an ancient Chinese military strategy of "death by a thousand cuts". If the US does not wake up to the communist Chinese threat, than regrettably the death will come much sooner then later.

The Great Oil Hunt

After reading a post by Crypto-Corinthian on the rising oil prices, I was inspired to post about China's unquenched thirst for oil and the inevitable conflict that is going to occur when Chinese oil interest clash with those of the US.

Oil as we know from our high school classes, is a finite resource that is in the opinion of many reaching its peak. China knowing this is searching for ways to secure access to oil by any means necessary. Their search has taken them to almost every part of the world; from Saudi Arabia and Africa to Iran, Central Asia, and even Canada. In the end, to achieve their final goal of world dominance the PRC will require a secure source of oil that the US will not be able to blockade, and it is this that America has to try to prevent if it wants to have a chance of winning any future conflict with China.

Related to this oil topic J.R. Nyquist has written a good article of the dangers that Peak Oil poses, and how the US (unlike China) is slow to recognize the threat that is posed by the oncoming oil shortages.
