This is part 2 of an earlier post:

However, Epoch Times somehow changed the title. There is some repeat of an earlier post, but some new stuff like:

2) Promote the necessity of war: “War Is Not Far from Us and Is the Midwife of the Chinese Century.”

Promote violence and terrorism as sacred acts: “The dead will provide the impetus to advance history.”

Promote aggression as reasonable: “Without a right to war, there would be no right to development.” “A country’s development threatens other countries; this is a general rule in world history.” “The only choice for China is to be under the modernization of the saber.”

Promote extensive colonization: “The national revival”; “Leading people to walk anywhere.” “Liberate low-status Asian-Americans”; and establish CCP controlled companies in America.

With statements such as these the speeches clamor against any ethical restraint, holding that the cruel succeed and the benevolent lose, that national interest is paramount and leaves no room for morality. They publicize a philosophy of asking for good yet doing evil, working for the opposite of what is stated, which means that the end justifies the means. They employ the literature of the warring states period, making a hero out of the first Emperor of the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), claiming the tyrant had no choice but to murder wantonly in order to unify China. Meanwhile, they promote discussion of Chinese superiority, such as how it was the Asians who first discovered America and expanded civilization. They say that war is inevitable due to population pressure and the need for increasing a country’s habitable area. In summary, they raise the Chinese flag high while calling on Hitler’s racism so as to prepare public opinion for communism-fascism.

A long read, but the gist of it is the CCP won't go down without a murderous war against what it sees as its rival, the USA and democracy.

We in the West can hope that won't happen. Our war on terror may help, someday, to better secure our borders against a stealth attack on the ground. Our missile defense research may help against a rocket attack. We also need to keep our nuclear subs as a promise to make the homeland of any attacker a sheet or radioactive glass.
