[QUOTES]
As everybody knows, according to the views propagated
by the Western scholars, humanity as a whole originated from one single
mother in Africa. Therefore, no race can claim racial superiority.
However, according to the research conducted by most Chinese scholars, the
Chinese are different from other races on earth. We
did not originate in Africa. Instead, we originated independently in the
land of China. The Peking Man at Zhoukoudian that we are all familiar with
represents a phase of our ancestors’ evolution. “The Project of
Searching for the Origins of the Chinese Civilization” currently undertaken
in our country is aimed at a more comprehensive and systematic research on
the origin, process and development of the ancient Chinese civilization. We
used to say, “Chinese civilization has had a history of five thousand
years.” But now, many experts engaged in research in varied fields including
archeology, ethnic cultures, and regional cultures have reached consensus
that the new discoveries such as the Hongshan Culture in the Northeast, the
Liangzhu Culture in Zhejiang province, the Jinsha Ruins in Sichuan province,
and the Yongzhou Shun Emperor Cultural Site in Human province are all
compelling evidence of the existence of China’s early civilizations, and
they prove that China’s rice-growing agricultural history alone can be
traced back as far as 8,000 to 10,000 years. This refutes the concept of
“five thousand years of Chinese civilization.”
Therefore, we can assert that we are the product of cultural roots of more
than a million years, civilization and progress of more than ten thousand
years, an ancient nation of five thousand years, and a single Chinese entity
of two thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls itself,
“descendents of Yan and Huang,” the Chinese nation that we are so proud of.
Hitler’s Germany had once bragged that the German
race was the most superior race on Earth, but the fact is, our nation is far
superior to the Germans.
During our long history, our
people have disseminated throughout the Americas and the
regions along the Pacific Rim, and they became Indians
in the Americas and the East Asian ethnic groups in the South
Pacific.
We all know that on account of
our national superiority, during the thriving and prosperous Tang
Dynasty our civilization was at the peak of the world. We were the center of
the world civilization, and no other civilization in the world was
comparable to ours. Later on, because of our complacency, narrow-mindedness,
and the self-enclosure of our own country, we were surpassed by Western
civilization, and the center of the world shifted to the West.
In reviewing history, one may ask: Will the center of the
world civilization shift back to China?
Comrade He Xin put it in his
report to the Central Committee in 1988: If the fact is that the center of
leadership of the world was located in Europe as of the 18th Century, and
later shifted to the United States in the mid 20th Century, then in the 21st
Century the center of leadership of the world will shift to the East of our
planet. And, “the East” of course mainly refers to China.
....... now it is shifting back to the East. Therefore,
if we refer to the 19th Century as the British Century, and the 20th century
as the American Century, then the 21st Century will be
the Chinese Century.
So, the fundamental reason for the defeats of Germany
and Japan is that history did not arrange them to be the “lords of the
earth,” for they are, after all, not the most superior race.
Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because,
fundamentally, our race is superior to theirs. As a result, we have a longer
history, more people, and larger land area. On this basis, our ancestors
left us with the two most essential heritages, which are atheism and great
unity. It was Confucius, the founder of our Chinese culture, who gave us
these heritages.
Take response to war as an example. The reason that the
United States remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland.
Once its enemies aim at the mainland, they enemies would have already
reached Washington before its congress finishes debating and authorizes the
president to declare war.
What makes us different from
Germany is that we are complete atheists, while Germany was primarily a
Catholic and Protestant country. Hitler was only half atheist. Although
Hitler also believed that ordinary citizens had low intelligence, and that
leaders should therefore make decisions, and although German people
worshipped Hitler back then, Germany did not have the tradition of
worshipping sages on a broad basis. Our Chinese society has always
worshipped sages, and that is because we don’t worship any god. Once
you worship a god, you can’t worship a person at the same time, unless you
recognize the person as the god’s representative like they do in Middle
Eastern countries. On the other hand, once you recognize a person as a sage,
of course you will want him to be your leader, instead of monitoring and
choosing him. This is the foundation of our democratic centralism.
Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently
decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into
China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to
God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If the
common people don’t believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader,
question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers
in our society question why we are leading God in churches, can our Party
continue to rule China?
Next, I’d like to address these
three issues.
The first issue is living space.
This is the biggest focus of the revitalization of the Chinese race.
In my last speech, I said that the fight over basic living resources
(including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of wars in
history. This may change ....
....and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in
very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of
soil, water, and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race,
but even its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than
faced Germany back then.
....... on the issue of living
space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of
China, so that they could develop outside of China.
The second issue is our focus on
the leadership capacity of the ruling party. We’ve done better on
this than their party. Although the Nazis spread their power to every aspect
of the German national government, they did not stress their absolute
leadership position like we have. They did not take the issue of managing
the power of the party as first priority, which we have. When Comrade Mao
Zedong summarized the “three treasures” of our party’s victory in conquering
the country, he considered the most important
“treasure” to be developing the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and
strengthening its leadership position.
There’s no need to worry about this issue. Comrade Mao
Zedong said that if we could lead our allies to victory and make them
benefit, they would support us. Therefore, as long
as we can lead the Chinese people outside of China, resolving the lack of
living space in China, the Chinese people will support us. At
that time, we don’t have to worry about the labels of “totalitarianism” or
“dictatorship.” Whether we can forever represent
the Chinese people depends on whether we can succeed in leading the Chinese
people out of China.
The second point, whether we can
lead the Chinese people out of China, is the most important determinant of
the CCP’s leadership position.
....... in history. After some deep pondering, we finally
come to this conclusion: Only by turning our developed national strength
into the force of a fist striking outward—only by leading people to go out
—can we win forever the Chinese people’s support and love for the Communist
Party. Our Party will then stand on invincible ground, and the Chinese
people will have to depend on the Communist Party. They will forever follow
the Communist Party with their hearts and minds, as was written in a couplet
frequently seen in the countryside some years ago: “Listen to Chairman Mao,
Follow the Communist Party!” Therefore, the June 4 riot made us realize that
we must combine economic development with preparation for war and leading
the people to go out! Therefore, since then, our national defense policy has
taken a 180 degree turn and we have since emphasized more and more
“combining peace and war.” Our economic development is all about preparing
for the need of war! Publicly we still emphasize economic development as our
center, but in reality, economic development has war as its center! We have
made a tremendous effort to construct “The Great Wall Project” to build up,
along our coastal and land frontiers as well as around large and
medium-sized cities, a solid underground “Great Wall” that can withstand a
nuclear war. We are also storing all necessary war materials. Therefore, we
will not hesitate to fight a Third World War, so as to lead the people to go
out and to ensure the Party’s leadership position. In any event, we, the CCP,
will never step down from the stage of history! We’d rather have the whole
world, or even the entire globe, share life and death with us than step down
from the stage of history!!! Isn’t there a ‘nuclear bondage’ theory? It
means that since nuclear weapons have bound the security of the entire
world, all will die together if death is inevitable. In my view, there is
another kind of bondage, and that is, the fate our Party is tied up with
that of the whole world. If we, the CCP, are finished, China will be
finished, and the world will be finished.
Our Party’s historical mission is
to lead the Chinese people to go out. If we take the long view, we will see
that history led us on this path. First,
China’s long history has resulted in the world’s largest population,
including Chinese in China as well as overseas. Second, once
we open our doors, the profit-seeking western capitalists will invest
capital and technology in China to assist our development, so that they can
occupy the biggest market in the world. Third,
our numerous overseas Chinese help us create the most favorable environment
for the introduction of foreign capital, foreign technology and advanced
experience into China. Thus, it is guaranteed that our reform and open-door
policy will achieve tremendous success. Fourth,
China’s great economic expansion will inevitably lead to the shrinkage of
per-capita living space for the Chinese people, and this will encourage
China to turn outward in search for new living space.
Fifth, China’s great economic expansion
will inevitably come with a significant development in our military forces,
creating conditions for our expansion overseas. Even since Napoleon’s time,
the West has been has been alert for the possible awakening of the sleeping
lion that is China. Now, the sleeping lion is standing up and advancing into
the world, and has become unstoppable!
What is the third issue we
should clinch firmly in order to accomplish our historical mission of
national renaissance? It is to hold firmly onto the big “issue of America.”
This appears to be shocking, but the logic is actually very simple.
Comrade He Xin put forward a very fundamental judgment that is very
reasonable. He asserted in his report to the Party Central Committee:
The renaissance of China is in fundamental conflict
with the western strategic interest, and therefore will inevitably be
obstructed by the western countries doing everything they can. So,
only by breaking the blockade formed by the western countries headed by the
United States can China grow and move towards the world!
Would the United States allow us to go out to
gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in
blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan and some
other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan,
Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we get? Very
trivial! Only countries like the United States,
Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass
colonization.
Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the
key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to
have many people migrate there and even establish another China under the
same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered
by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the white
race. We the descendents of the Chinese nation are
entitled to the possession of the land! It is said that the
residents of the yellow race have a very low social status in United States.
We need to liberate them. Second, after solving
the “issue of America,” the western countries in Europe would bow to us, not
to mention to Taiwan, Japan and other small countries. Therefore, solving
the “issue of America” is the mission assigned to CCP members by history.
...is full of power and grandeur: “The enemies are bound
to meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win!” It is this kind of
fighting to win or die spirit that enabled us to seize power in Mainland
China. It is historical destiny that China and
United States will come into unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and
fight each other! The United States, ...
One time, some Americans came to visit and tried to
convince us that the relationship between China and United States is one of
interdependence. Comrade Xiaoping replied in a polite manner: “Go tell your
government, China and the United States do not have such a relationship that
is interdependent and mutually reliant.” Actually, Comrade Xiaoping was
being too polite, he could have been more frank,
“The relationship between China and United States is one of a life-and-death
struggle.” Of course, right now it is not the time to openly
break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world
still rely on their capital and technology, we still need America.
Therefore, we must do everything we can to promote our relationship with
America, learn from America in all aspects and use America as an example to
reconstruct our country.
.... we must not forget that the history of our
civilization repeatedly has taught us that one mountain does not allow two
tigers to live together.
We also must never forget what
Comrade Xiaoping emphasized “refrain from revealing the ambitions and put
others off the track.” The hidden message is: we must put up with America;
we must conceal our ultimate goals, hide our capabilities and await the
opportunity. In this way, our mind is clear.
To resolve the issue of
America we must be able to transcend conventions and restrictions. In
history, when a country defeated another country or occupied another
country, it could not kill all the people in the conquered land, because
back then you could not kill people effectively with sabers or long spears,
or even with rifles or machine guns. Therefore, it was impossible to gain a
stretch of land without keeping the people on that land. However, if we
conquered America in this fashion, we would not be able to make many people
migrate there.
Only by using special
means to “clean up” America will we be able to lead the Chinese people
there. This is the only choice left for us. This is not a matter of whether
we are willing to do it or not. What kind of special means is there
available for us to “clean up” America? Conventional weapons such as
fighters, canons, missiles and battleships won’t do; neither will highly
destructive weapons such as nuclear weapons. We are not as foolish as to
want to perish together with America by using nuclear weapons, despite the
fact that we have been exclaiming that we will have the Taiwan issue
resolved at whatever cost. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can
kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has
been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio weapons
have been invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in
the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this
kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all
of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central
Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop
aircraft carrier groups and focus instead on developing lethal weapons that
can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country.
From a humanitarian
perspective, we should issue a warning to the American people and persuade
them to leave America and leave the land they have lived in to the Chinese
people. Or at least they should leave half of the United States to be
China’s colony, because America was first discovered by the Chinese. But
would this work? If this strategy does not work, then there is only one
choice left to us. That is, use decisive means to “clean up” America, and
reserve America for our use in a moment. Our historical experience has
proven that as long as we make it happen, nobody in the world can do
anything about us. Furthermore, if the United States as the leader is gone,
then other enemies have to surrender to us.
Biological weapons are unprecedented in their
ruthlessness, but if the Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die.
If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal
collapse is bound to take place. According to the computation of the author
of Yellow Peril, more than half of the Chinese will die, and that figure
would be more than 800 million people! Just after the liberation, our yellow
land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the official figure of
the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has reached the
limit of its capacity. One day, who knows how soon it will come, the great
collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have
to go.
We must prepare ourselves for two scenarios. If our
biological weapons succeed in the surprise attack [on the United States],
the Chinese people will be able to keep their losses at a minimum in the
fight against the United States. If, however, the attack fails and triggers
a nuclear retaliation from the United States, China would perhaps suffer a
catastrophe in which more than half of its population would perish. That is
why we need to be ready with air defense systems for our big and
medium-sized cities. Whatever the case may be, we can only move forward
fearlessly for the sake of our Party and state and our nation’s future,
regardless of the hardships we have to face and the sacrifices we have to
make. The population, even if more than half dies, can be reproduced. But if
the Party falls, everything is gone, and forever gone!
In Chinese history, in the
replacement of dynasties, the ruthless have always won and the benevolent
have always failed. The most typical example involved Xiang Yu
the King of Chu, who, after defeating Liu Bang, failed to continue to chase
after him and eliminate his forces, and this leniency resulted in Xiang Yu’s
death and Liu’s victory (during the war between Chu and Han, just after the
Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) was overthrown). Therefore,
we must emphasize the importance of adopting resolute measures. In the
future, the two rivals, China and the United States, will eventually meet
each other in a narrow road, and our leniency to the Americans will mean
cruelty toward the Chinese people. Here some people may want
to ask me: what about the several millions of our compatriots in the United
States? They may ask: aren’t we against Chinese killing other Chinese?
These comrades are too pedantic; they are not pragmatic
enough. If we had insisted on the principle that the Chinese should not kill
other Chinese, would we have liberated China? As for the several million
Chinese living in the United States, this is of course a big issue.
Therefore in recent years, we have been conducting research on genetic
weapons, i.e. those weapons that do not kill yellow people. But producing a
result with this kind of research is extremely difficult.
Of the research done on genetic weapons throughout the
world, the Israeli’s is the most advanced. Their genetic weapons are
designed to target Arabs and protect the Israelis. But even they have not
reached the stage of actual deployment. We have cooperated with Israel on
some research. Perhaps we can introduce some of the technologies used to
protect Israelis and remold these technologies to protect the yellow people.
But their technologies are not mature yet, and it is difficult
for us to surpass them in a few years. If it has to be five or ten years
before some breakthroughs can be achieved in genetic weapons, we cannot
afford to wait any longer.
Old comrades like us cannot afford to wait that long,
for we don’t have that much time to live. Old soldiers of my age may be able
to wait for five or ten more years, but those from the period of the
Anti-Japanese War or the few old Red Army soldiers cannot wait any longer.
Therefore we have to give up our expectations about genetic weapons.
Of course, from another perspective, the majority of
those Chinese living in the United States have become our burden, because
they have been corrupted by the bourgeois liberal values for a long time and
it would be difficult for them to accept our Party’s leadership. If they
survived the war, we would have to launch campaigns in the future to deal
with them, to reform them. Do you still remember that when we had
just defeated the Koumintang (KMT) and liberated Mainland China, so many
people from the bourgeois class and intellectuals welcomed us so very
warmly, but later we had to launch campaigns such as the “suppression of the
reactionaries” and “Anti-Rightist Movement” to clean them up and reform
them? Some of them were in hiding for a long time ....
....when they hear about wars or people dying. During
wartime, we were used to seeing dead people. Blood and flesh were flying
everywhere, corpses were lying in heaps on the fields, and blood ran like
rivers. We saw it all. On the battlefields, everybody’s eyes turned red with
killing because it was a life-and-death struggle and only the brave would
survive.
It is indeed brutal to kill one
or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure
a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as
revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths. But if history confronts us
with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we’d have to
pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of
the Chinese people and the life of our Party. That is because, after all, we
are Chinese and members of the CCP. Since the day we joined the CCP, the
Party’s life has always been above all else! History will prove that we made
the right choice.
Now, when I am about to finish my speech, you probably
understand why we conducted this online survey. Simply put, through
conducting this online survey we wanted to know whether the people would
rise against us if one day we secretly adopt resolute means to “clean up”
America. Would more people support us or oppose us? This is our basic
judgment: if our people approve of shooting at prisoners of war, women and
children, then they would approve our “cleaning up” America. For over
twenty years, China has been enjoying peace, and a whole generation has not
been tested by war. In particular, since the end of World War II, there have
been many changes in the formats of war, the concept of war and the ethics
of war. Especially since the collapse of the former Soviet Union and Eastern
European Communist states, the ideology of the West has come to dominate the
world as a whole, and the Western theory of human nature and Western view of
human rights have increasingly disseminated among the young people in China.
Therefore, we were not very sure about the people’s attitude. If our
people are fundamentally opposed to “cleaning up” America, we will, of
course, have to adopt corresponding measures.
What turned out to be very comforting is they did not
turn in a blank test paper. In fact, they turned in a test paper with a
score of over 80. This is the excellent fruition of our Party’s work in
propaganda and education over the past few decades.
That is to vigorously propagate Comrade He Xin's latest
article, which has already been reported to the central government. You may
look it up on the website.
If you get on the
website using key words to search, you will find out that a while ago,
comrade He Xin pointed out to the Hong Kong Business News during an
interview that: "The US has a shocking conspiracy."
According to what he had in hand, from September 27 to October 1, 1995, the
Mikhail Sergeevich Gorbachëv Foundation, funded by the United States,
gathered 500 of the world’s most important statesmen, economic leaders and
scientists, including George W. Bush (he was not the US president at the
time), the Baroness Thatcher, Tony Blair, Zbigniew Brzezinski, as well as
George Soros, Bill Gates, futurist John Naisbitt, etc., all of the world’s
most popular characters, in the San Francisco Fairmont hotel for a
high-level round table conference, discussing problems about globalization
and how to guide humanity to move forward into the 21st century.
According to what He Xin had in hand, the outstanding people of the world in
attendance thought that in the 21st century a mere 20% of the world’s
population will be sufficient to maintain the world’s economy and
prosperity, the other 80% or 4/5 of the world’s population will be human
garbage unable to produce new values.
The people in attendance thought that this excess 80% population would be a
trash population and "high-tech" means should be used to eliminate them
gradually.
Since the enemies are secretly planning
to eliminate our population, we certainly cannot be infinitely merciful and
compassionate to them. Comrade He Xin's article came out at the right time,
it has proven the correctness of our tit for tat battle approach, has proven
Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s great foresight to deploy against the United States
military strategy.
Certainly, in spreading Comrade
He Xin’s views, we cannot publish the article in the party newspapers, in
order to avoid raising the enemy’s vigilance. He Xin's conversation may
remind the enemy that we have grasped the modern science and technology,
including "clean" nuclear technology, gene weapons technology as well as
biological weapons technology, and we can use powerful measures to eliminate
their population on a large-scale.
The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly
seizing the preparations for military battle.
Currently, we are at the cross road of moving forward ....
Now, it seems like we are in the same
critical period as the “horses were drinking water” in the Yangtze River
days in the revolutionary era, as long as we firmly seize the most basic
principle of preparing for the military battle. The central committee
believes, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our
domestic problems will all be readily solved.
Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan, but in
fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the
scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites.
Marxism pointed out that violence is
the midwife for the birth of the new society.
Therefore war is the midwife for the birth of China’s century. As war
approaches, I am full of hope for our next generation.
