New York Post ^ | February 8, 2015 | By Larry Getlen

In 1995, Michael Pillsbury, an expert on China who has worked with every US president since Nixon and has, he writes, “arguably had more access to China’s military and intelligence establishment than any other Westerner,” was reading an article written by “three of China’s preeminent military experts” about “new technologies that would contribute to the defeat of the United States.”

Now, he says, he has come to consider this view — which he now believes came about as a result of intentional deception and misdirection on the part of the Chinese — as “the most systemic, significant and dangerous intelligence failure in American history.”

How is it a “secret” when dull-witted three year olds can figure it out?

China probably won’t be fighting on Iran’s side in the next WW.

Make no mistake, our government knows what the Chinese are up to but there is nothing being done about it because they are either bought off or compromised.

Now, he says, he has come to consider this view — which he now believes came about as a result of intentional deception and misdirection on the part of the Chinese — as “the most systemic, significant and dangerous intelligence failure in American history.”

Lest we forget, it also came about as the result of treacherous self-serving selling-out of our country by such reprehensible traitors as Bill Clinton.

For example:

It is well documented that Clinton and the Democrats took illegal campaign money from groups and individuals tied directly to the Chinese People’s Republican Army. It is therefore not surprising that In January 1998 Clinton went against the advice of then-Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Pentagon experts by lifting long-standing restrictions against the export of American satellites to China for launch on Chinese rockets.

Not only did he move control over such decisions from the more security-focused State Department to the Commerce Department, but he intervened in a Justice Department investigation of Loral Space & Communications, retroactively enabling Loral to sell critical missile technology to the Chinese.

Interestingly enough, Clinton’s decision was made at the request of Loral CEO Bernard Schwartz, whose earlier $1.3 million campaign donation made him the single biggest contributor to the Democratic election effort.

The result, as stated eloquently by syndicated columnist Linda Bowles, was that “the Democrats got money from satellite companies and from Chinese communists; China got supercomputors, advanced production equipment and missile technology; Loral got its satellites launched at bargain basement prices . . . and the transfer of sensitive missile technology gave China [for the first time] the capability of depositing bombs on American cities.”

Incidentally, Loral ultimately failed to benefit from this permanent injury to America’s security interests: in July 2003, the company filed for bankruptcy protection, and in order to raise cash was forced to sell its most profitable business – a fleet of communications satellites orbiting over North America.

Obama seems to be moving faster than China. After another two years, will China even need to expend much effort to surpass the US?

What makes america the worlds superpower is not its government, but the fact that the people, the ones in charge arevready to defend, to the death, the principles and beliefs of individual freedom and exceptionalism.

America will never be unseated because americans will always strive for those ideals

Yeah, they probably won’t cozy up to the Muslim Brotherhood either. Which is, sadly, more than I can say for the United States government.

Clearly, China’s “plan” is not so secret. It is not so much due to growing competency on the part of the Chinese, as it is the abdication of responsibilities by the Current Regime now running things in that territory once known as “the United States of America”.

Net Neutrality is part of the Chinese plan... but I still don’t know why or how that would help them.

In the Bible, and its description of the big and final war ... China is a little footnote, barely mentioned. China is NOT A PLAYER in the Bible!

Well is America either?

Because right now, the two economies are #1 and #2 in the world.

“China probably won’t be fighting on Iran’s side in the next WW.”

Not sure your point.

China, though, has and will continue to support Iran.
