Chinese Threat Level

The Chinese have a track record which is not particularly pretty. At the moment they are rich, getting richer and building up their armed forces. They had the second biggest war ever with a cast of millions and a butcher's bill of millions. That was back in the Nineteenth Century with primitive weapons. Now they have full house NBC [ nuclear, biological and chemical ] capability which they are working up. They are rattling their sabres and spying on us too. Here are some of the public reports on them. Then there is their economic power which is reshaping world trade and will cause severe problems for America. To an  extent these will be self inflicted but painful none the less.

The Geopolitics of Sexual Frustration
The lost boys of Professor Albert Macovski are upon us. Twenty years ago, the ultrasound scanning machine came into widespread use in Asia. It meant that parents would know whether they had a boy or a girl on the way. In China they want boys so girls got aborted and they now have too many young men coming through. Young men with no wives are prone to other influences. Politicians on the make and war are just two. We will live in interesting times.

 

Chinese Weaknesses
Morgan Stanley, a financial heavy weight talks to serious investors in Kuwait and China. There are big tensions in China. A lot of money is going in so it is getting richer but the peasants are not seeing any of it. They aren't quite starving - yet but a bad harvest could change that.  It could all turn sour.

 

Chinese Infiltration of Australia
QUOTE
Chen’s apotheosis, and his account of the prosecution within Australia of a campaign against the “five poisons”—the Uighurs, Falun Gong, Tibetan Buddhists, Taiwanese splittists and democracy activists—threw into the spotlight the vitality and diversity of political, cultural and religious commitments in Chinese Australia, matching the Chinese world’s drive towards economic and diplomatic success. One of the reasons for the intensity of the debate inside the Chinese community here is that it cannot take place inside China itself. In Hong Kong and in Taiwan, yes, but in the People’s Republic, no.
UNQUOTE
Much of this applies to England with a Chinese take away on every high street.

Poverty is still there in a big way. So is bad policy.

 

China broadens espionage operations [ 24 May 2006 ]
QUOTE
'China is running aggressive and wide-ranging espionage operations aimed at stealing U.S. weapons technology that could be useful against U.S. forces, according to the nation's top spy-catchers..........

'The possibility of a U.S.-Chinese military confrontation over Taiwan looms in the background of the espionage, said Ronald Guerin, the FBI's East Asia section chief.' (USA Today article).
UNQUOTE
A spy catcher is telling the truth for once. The Chinese really do want Taiwan. Aggro could ensue. And why do you think they have a take away in every high street?

Chi, the lead engineer on a classified research project involving quiet propulsion systems - known as Quiet Electric Drive - for US Navy warships, is accused of taking sensitive information about the project, copying it onto CDs and delivering them to his brother, Tai, who is accused of encrypting the information and intending  to take it to China with his wife. Chiu is accused of assisting her husband in copying the material. Let foreigners in then look surprised when they make trouble.

 

A gangster comes to town  [ 5 November 2005 ]
Hu Jintao, President of China is in England and getting the red carpet treatment. He is from a murderous regime who killed more than Adolf or Joe ever managed but that was then. This is now. Blair probably envies him for his success in screwing the peasants. The link has details of Chinese evil.
