flaming_june 2 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 http://english.epochtimes.com/news/5-8-4/30931.htmlthis is an opinion peice on a speech made by a chinese communist party general not too long ago. super scary"It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century..."they are also planning to sacrifice millions of chinese people, like the 80 million they've already killed in its 56 yr history...btw, warning it is biased. it is an opinion afterall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticks of Fury 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 It's just chest thumping by the CCP because Washington was releasing its white paper about the CCP and its military direction. Rumsfeld said asked why are the CCP spending so much militarily when they have no known enemy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flaming_june 2 Report post Posted August 5, 2005 most military analysts say they're trying to intimidate taiwan rather than it being the actual plans, seems stupid that a general would reveal his strategy to the world. it could be to threaten the people of taiwan so they'd vote for reunification rather than independence. they've done similar things like shooting rockets over taiwan and naval tests near and around taiwan.

I think it was aimed at the US administration rather than Taiwan. Although this type of public rant is more likely staged to "remind" the US that China has nuclear capabiities. However this rant will more or less steer the US to a more anti China stance and lead them to start the missile defense program. Taiwan has been under a "united front" against the current DPP administration. The KMT needs the CCP to work against the DPP admin. Kinda perverse since the KMT has longed to take over the mainland and sworn the commies as enemies for life.Can read www.taipeitimes.com for a more independence view on Taiwan.or www.chinapost.com.tw for a more proChina view on Taiwan.
