There are lots of languages in the world that it might be a good idea to learn. Here in Texas (actually in most of the southwest and California), it is a good idea to learn Spanish. In the last decade, it looked like it might be wise to learn Arabic. However, now it looks like Chinese is the best bet, since China seems to be on a determined path to world domination and there is little that we are doing to hamper that effort.
In fact, the current administration is enabling this potential in many ways: by supplying the Chinese with funds needed, through interest payments on our Chinese loans; by further increasing our debt limit and borrowing; by attempting to regulate our fossil fuel industry out of existence; and by supporting the transfer of our technology to the Chinese Communists.
This is a critical issue for the United States and for all freedom-loving people in the world. If this, or something close, is China’s plan, and the U.S. continues its downward spiral, within the next few decades the world will be under the total domination of a communist government and individual political and personal freedom will become a distant memory.
Here are the key elements of a potential plan for Chinese world domination:
Defeating the United States economically. While many economists suggest that China doesn’t want the U.S. to go into default on our loans, this is short-term thinking and the Chinese are anything but short-term thinkers. In the long term, they have much more to gain by our economic defeat. For example Joseph Meuse in The Huffington Post stated,
We have been in this economic battle for years, and are much closer to losing than we realize. … From small merchants to corporate CEOs, from young children to senior citizens, the entire Chinese population is united in their goal of usurping Western economic leadership.
Forming an alliance with Russia. Global Research reported that Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping, desiring an alliance with Russia, said, “We are in favor of Russia playing an important role in international and regional affairs.” In Putin’s response he referred to China as Russia’s “strategic partner in the full sense of this word.”
Increasing its military capability. Total world domination is dependent on having a superior military force and, ultimately, a large enough “police force” to control all of the world’s governments and its citizens. NTI’s Global Security Newswire reported that,
China’s nuclear arsenal is being augmented through development of a missile that is capable of carrying a number of warheads and can be moved between different locations. The yearly Pentagon assessment of Chinese military capabilities estimates that Beijing holds as many as 75 long-range missiles tipped with nuclear warheads, along with 120 intermediate- and medium-range systems.
In 1998, Colonel Larry M. Wortzel, Director of the Strategic Studies Institute for the U.S. Army’s War College, in an internal report titled, “China’s Military Potential,” reported that the People’s Republic of China’s “standing armed force of some 2.8 million active soldiers in uniform is the largest military force in the world … [with] … another 200 million males fit for military service available at any time.”
Enhancing its technology through whatever means necessary. There seems little doubt that China is also actively involved in cyber-espionage around the world. an article in Asia Society states that “China is one of the world’s worst state perpetrators of cyber-espionage and malicious computer hacking.” Then he dramatically supports that case with quotes from a series of government investigations and quotes from extremely influential and competent individuals, for example:
Former U.S. cyber-czar Richard Clarke asserted that “What’s going on is very large-scale Chinese industrial espionage…They’re stealing our intellectual property. They’re getting our research and development for pennies on the dollar.”
But that’s not the only way China is getting our technology. The Washington Post reports that GE has contracted with China to supply to the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China some of GE’s highly valuable next-generation technologies necessary for their development of a competitive airline industry. GE entered into this agreement even though it had been determined that the technology was essential to the United States’ economic future.
Cornering the world’s sources of cheap, reliable energy. As only one example, the Independent (Asia) reported that, “China is pouring another $7bn into Brazil’s oil industry, reigniting fears of a global ‘land grab’ of natural resources.”
There is also strong evidence that China is supporting Cuba’s exploration and drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico just 60 miles from Florida. “There will be at least 5 wells, deeper than the BP Deepwater Horizon well that ruptured last year in the Gulf of Mexico, and they will be using rehabbed old Chinese equipment similar to what broke for British Petroleum.”
Controlling the market for the world’s minerals and commodities. While China may be somewhat poor in regard to the sources of cheap, reliable energy, when it comes to the world’s minerals and commodities, they are in much better shape. For example, Investment U reports that China currently supplies,
98 % of the global demand for rare earth elements. … Reuters reported on Tuesday that the Chinese raised the price for rare earth metals past the$100,000 per ton mark – the first time ever that the price per ton has vaulted into the six-figure range.
However, China is also using this monopoly to control their rare earth customers in ways not related to the market. In September, 2010 the Business Insider reported that,
The Japanese government is considering filing a complaint with WTO over the alleged halt of rare earth metal exports by China, … China allegedly banned the export of the materials, used in the production of electronics, as retaliation over the capture and continued holding of a fishing captain.
Japan’s entire auto and technology industries depend on rare earth metals, with 92 percent of their supply coming from China.
Creating international alliances and financial dependence wherever possible. The Hurriyet Daily News (Turkey) reported that, “Chinese companies are busy investing throughout the globe, from Africa and the Middle East to Latin America and Southeast Asia.”
Encouraging capitalism. As reported in International Viewpoint, in the 1990s an unrestrained process of privatization of state companies and liberalization of public services took place. Nowadays, two thirds of wage-earners work already for private capital. At the beginning of the 21st century, China’s entrance into the World Trade Organization in 2001 culminated its process of reintegration into global capitalism.
The New York Times reported that American businessmen have embraced the Chinese Communists since discovering that the communists have embraced capitalism,
The best businessmen … are pragmatists. Deng Xiaoping famously said it didn’t matter whether a cat was black or white so long as it caught mice. Smart businessmen are likewise pretty indifferent to a regime’s ideology (and indeed its treatment of dissidents, journalists and other such niceties) as long as their deals can get done and their tax rates are lenient.
Allow compliant religious worship. In 2007 the Washington Post reported that a Chinese government-sponsored survey of religion in China found that the number of believers among the country’s 1.3 billion people was equal to the entire population of the United States, approximately 300 million.
If the Chinese accomplish all of these goals, it will only be a matter of time before they are in a position to expand their direct influence to neighboring countries and ultimately the world. First, they need to solidify their influence within the Asian community. The absorption of Taiwan is essential to their plan and to their prestige. In addition, they are already working very hard to improve their relations with all other Asian countries, included Japan and South Korea; both of these countries are very dependent on China both as a market and as a source of essential commodities, especially rare earth elements. Add to this their alliance with Russia and other aligned countries, and Chinese dominance in that part of the world is moving well along.
China is also making strong headway in its foreign relations in the Middle East, Africa, and South America; not to mention, their efforts in North America, including the good, old United States of America. If China attains a level of international dominance that effectively leaves them as the world’s only superpower, how will they use that power? Is it unreasonable to suggest that they would want to use their superpower status to convert the world’s societies to their brand of communism? Greater economic, political, and social security would be a siren call that would be hard to ignore.
Of course, there will be pockets of resistance, but these will not cause any significant harm to the regime and, if they get out of hand, they can be quickly eliminated.
While this is complete conjecture at this time, China is doing everything necessary to bring about this outcome. Without the existence of America as the protector of freedom, China will easily become the dominant world force, shaping the future of humanity for decades, if not centuries, to come.
We have one last chance to save freedom for the world. If we make the wrong choices in November 2012, we can kiss freedom goodbye. And it is very likely that we will be paving the way for China to dominate the world.
