Gordon Chang warns China 'configuring its military to kill Americans'
Fox News ^ | September 7, 2020 | Yael Halon

Chang's comments follow a recent Pentagon report suggesting that China is planning to double its stockpile of nuclear warheads in this decade -- including those designed for ballistic missiles and that can reach the U.S. The report adds a time clock to Trump's decision, Chang said. "[President] Xi Jinping has been talking increasingly about this notion that China has a mandate of heaven to rule the world," Chang explained. "They [beleive that they] not only have the right to do it, they have the obligation to do it.

Thank you for the good information. Agreed on personal ambitions and vanities of leaders of nations. For example, I’ve been a skeptic about the claim that assassinations of Austrians caused a chain of events that forced Germany to attack the French and British forces in the attempt to occupy France.

Some common beliefs in a particular kind of inherent superiority in populations might also add to the probability of expansionism under leaders focused on fame. There’s more than one kind of nationalism. One kind respects a right to exist for other nations and focuses on defense (nation). Another sees itself destined to be the capital and ruling nation of the world (empire).

It appears that they're no threat to the benign chaos of democratic nations. Would-be empires obsessed with universal uniformity and order might see them as a threat, though.

There was much noise in liberal media against the Unitarians during the 1970s, but look at them now. The Washington Times is not bothersome to conservative westerners.

Fifty years of presidents from both political parties actively supported the lopsided trade regime. President Trump is the first to do otherwise. Back in the ‘70s, many of us saw what would result from the anti-American policy.

I wasn’t aware that killing Americans required a special configuration.

Gee China, let’s see.....how would you like your population reduced by at least half in, oh...say, 40 minutes time?

Because we can do that.

``
So will they - that’s the point of their build up - and the time will be less than 15 minutes as both will have boomers.

Lets see:
China: 1.43 Billion / 2 = 715 Million
USA: 334 Million / 2 = 167 Million

A nuke exchange was also the topic during the Nixon’s 1972 meeting with Mao who told him essentially the same thing: after we are still a big country, while you are reduced to a small state; we can afford it, you cannot.

Yes they do, and large casualty numbers are perfectly acceptable to the Chinese. One Chinese civil was saw 40 million dead. Large numbers of dead are only unacceptable to the squeamish West

Epoch Times is Falun Gong cult.

That’s the CCP’s position as well. Are you shilling for them?

Epoch Times is one of the best news orgs, especially about all things Asian and China in particular.

t’s just unnerving to me that they could send an army of 400 million over here (more than one solider per US citizen) and STILL have a billion people..

Twelve years ago I had a dream, nightmare actually, that Asian soldiers were decending upon my house.. When they reached my window I woke up. It's been in the back of my mind ever since.

The opposition is on full war footing, their militias are attacking...law abiding folks are sitting by and watching it happen

They refuse to believe their lying eyes.

If someone was stupid enough to actually invade China there is no way for the US to hold on the ground a country as large as Iran, let alone China - armchair geneal wet dream.

China can’t even invade Taiwan, let alone the Marshall Islands or Hawaii

I was kind of thinking we could give the Three Gorges Dam a little nudge with an earthquake bomb.

``
Since that would cause the deaths of 80 million Chinese, they would need to reciprocate ... with everything they could muster, including the mirved nuclear warheads mounted on their ICBMs.
