Here are its first three paragraphs:
TOKYO - When [US] Secretary Robert M. Gates visited Japan's new leaders
in October, not long after their historic election, he pressed so hard and so publicly
for a military base agreement that the Japanese news media labeled him a bully.
The difference between that visit and the friendly welcome that a high-level
Japanese delegation received just two months later in China, Japan's historic rival,
could not have been more stark.
A grinning President Hu Jintao of China took individual photos with more than
a hundred visiting Japanese lawmakers, patiently shaking hands with each of them
in an impressive display of mass diplomacy.
The other day I watched the TV news which resumed the topic of Chinese-Japanese friendship. I am asking Americans I meet whether they remember that TV news of a couple of days ago, when a top Japanese official said that Japan and China should form an "Asian alliance."
Yes, some Americans I have met remembered this-vaguely. Yet the news revealed the most important geostrategic trend since the decision by the owners of China to begin their "phenomenal growth" of their military power after the Tiananmen massacre of 1989.
So China may not be alone in its world war against the free Western countries. Japan is ready to join China in an "Asian alliance."
Japan? Japan occupied Manchuria in 1931. In 1937, Japan invaded China in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945). On Dec. 7, 1941, the U.S. naval base in Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan, which declared war on the United States, Great Britain, and the Netherlands!
How can Japan help China in the war for world domination? Not with its military operational planning! But Japan has produced 13 Nobel Prize laureates, mainly in physics and chemistry. Some of Japan's globally important technological advances are in electronics, robotics, optics, and semiconductors. In short, while erratic in its global military operations, Japan is an advanced scientific and technological power which can yield an important contribution to China.
Japan opens a new era in the distribution of military power, which once required the advance of science and technology. Those needed free enterprise, impossible without a certain degree of freedom. Japan established that kind of freedom which was necessary for the development of military power.
Within 20 years, between 1989 and 2009, the "backward China" created a military might which had taken the "advanced U.S.A." a good half a century, including two world wars, to create.
Who could predict that Japan, still remembered for its lifelong war to conquer China, will seek an "Asian" partnership with China?
The human inner world in the West is often computerized and otherwise deprived of its human and humane overtones. On the other hand, the "mankind outside the West" is becoming a human mass, in which China and Japan may join in an "Asian alliance" to conquer the free West. The danger is that China, which accounts for one-fifth of the world's population, may unite a majority of mankind against the free West.
What about inhabitants of the West such as Americans? Yesterday I had an eye-opening experience. The owner of a huge 22-storied apartment building, in which we rent an apartment, is replacing windows, and the fitter who brought them told me with pride that they were made in China. I did not express any joy. "Are you a Jew?" he asked.
"Only Jews hate China!"
The American window fitter was paid far better in the U.S.A. than he would have been in China. But this does not affect his conviction that only Jews hate China, where Mao introduced a death sentence preceded by a specific kind of torture.
The moral is that the Western free countries may be in a minority as against the monstrocities like China, Japan, and all countries that will join them in their "Asian alliance," as well as all traitors, sure, for example, that the free West is Jewish.
The world history before the past half a century was a fast-changing scene with a reassuring survival of the free Western countries still at the top of wealth and military might.
But look at the coercive chaos in the millions of years before the past three millennia! That chaos may return and engulf the world, with the annihilation of the free Western countries.
History is serious, history is dangerous, history is suddenly fatal if it is not watched seriously enough and understood in the Western free countries.
But it is easier said than done. A country such as "People's Republic of China" is, politically, the new slavery, in which everyone not only is a physical slave, but also is
a spiritual slave being convinced by the media that what he is ordered to do as a physical slave is at the same time spiritually the best for his country and for its allies and for himself and his or her family.
As a result, not only is the People's Republic of China a slave country, but it also is an army, drawing on the population of 1,335 billion, and an Asian alliance will be a slave combination of populations and armies. Their stimulus General Chi (the "minister of national defense" from 1993 to 2003) described very concretely as he explained that from one-third to two-thirds of the U.S. population would be annihilated by the invading army and their property transferred to those Chinese who would be new "immigrants" in the former U.S.A.
Yes, we are at the turn of the history. Will freedom survive? Or will mankind sink into the coercive chaos of slavery of three millennia ago?
