On the other hand, Sun Tsu, the Chinese strategist of the 4th century B.C., believed that war should begin not like a European aristocrat’s challenge of another European aristocrat to a duel, but like a sudden strike (on the head) by a criminal (stealing from behind) with his bludgeon (shashou jian). The beginning of a war should be its victorious end.

The book “Unrestricted War,” written by two high-ranking officers of the “Chinese Liberation Army” and published officially by the military press in Beijing in 1999, says:

Regardless whether we are talking about Hitler, Mussolini, Truman, Johnson, or Saddam, none of them have successfully mastered war.

Much military information about the West is known to China due to Western public discussions of military problems in legislature, at universities, and in the media.

The West is thus “transparent.” Americans have insisted that China must also be “transparent,” just like another United States with Hu Jintao as president. Many Americans perceive China as children in a nursery perceive a gangsters’ den which the children take for another nursery. In 1997, Michael Pillsbury, an American expert on China, published a collection of articles, written by the Chinese military and entitled “Chinese Views of Future Warfare.” Thus, for some China seemingly became “transparent.”

Arise, ye prisoners of starvation,
The entire world of hungry slaves. . . .

The hymn does not contain the word “war.” Not war, but the liberation of the entire world.

Indeed, the Westerners know that China’s armed forces are called the People’s Liberation Army. It is to liberate the world, and it is too late to change the name to “China’s Defense Army.” Still, the Chinese military in Pillsbury’s book speak not of the liberation of the rest of the world, but of defense in conventional terms as though China were just a country on guard against numerous (but unnamed) aggressors.

Well, the title of Pillsbury’s 421-page book is “Chinese Views of Future Warfare.” Not of “Future Chinese Warfare,” but of “Future Warfare” in general. That is, the book is about American views or West European views of future warfare, described by the military of Chinese dictatorship. China is thus a Chinese-speaking Western country, describing its defense in Chinese, translated by Pillsbury into English.

A previous aspirant to world domination or world liberation was the National Socialist Workers’ Party, with Hitler as its “leader.” Before 1939, Lloyd George said that he wished Hitler were at the head of the British government, while after 1938 Hitler became in the English-speaking countries a cartoon—or the “villain” in an old-fashioned melodrama, indistinguishable from his Soviet image. In short, he became the worst man on earth, and as such he wanted world domination, since his vanity was boundless as befitting the worst man on earth.

But was his push for world domination motivated only by vanity?

Why did he attack Russia? He was afraid that Stalin would attack him—preemptively. He preempted Stalin’s preemption. What else? He wanted to convert the natural resources of Russia into a navy and air force against which the English-speaking would not be able to defend themselves. Thus he would dominate the world.

But no, it wasn’t just vanity.

It is not generally realized in the West today that though Western constitutionalism is soft and disorderly, it does not crumble as the Soviet dictatorship did in 1991. On the other hand, dictatorship is ruthless and regimental, but vulnerable from within.

After his first military defeat at Moscow at the end of 1941, Hitler began the extermination of Jews to prevent his betrayal by his subordinates to the United States. This is the “Blutkitt” of criminal gangs. He pretended that the extermination was conceived, ordered, and carried out by his closest subordinates, while “he knew nothing about it,” and some Western historians still believe this childish pretense of his. It is true, though, that personally, not politically, he had nothing against Jews, which is also a shocking news to some Western experts.

Several attempts on Hitler’s life were planned after an army of about 80,000 German soldiers surrendered and was marched through the streets of Moscow. The most nearly successful assassination attempt on Hitler was made on July 20, 1944, by Col. Graf [!] Claus von Stauffenberg, who exploded a bomb at a conference at Hitler’s headquarters in East Prussia. Hitler was not killed, but only wounded, yet he became increasingly ill and fatigued, and then prematurely senile if not insane, up to his suicide.

The dictator can prevent this “persecution in reverse” only by having conquered the world, which Hitler failed to do because he launched conventional war in 1939 instead of putting all available resources into the development of his nuclear weapons.

The dictatorship of China is developing an array of post-nuclear super weapons, such as nano weapons. Nor is the dictatorship of China engaged in a conventional war, which would absorb all the resources of the country.

The road to world domination is clear—there is no way to the preservation of the dictators’ power and lives except this road, over which Hitler stumbled when he launched conventional war instead of the most intense development of nuclear weapons.

What do we know about a future Chinese “liberation” of the world? Post nuclear super weapons are being developed in laboratories inside mountains. Thus the laboratories do not have walls, roofs, or floors that could be detected from the outside and drilled through to learn what they are engaged in. Nor are the mountains transparent.

On the other hand, Michael Pillsbury’s book contributed to the hope that the dictatorship of China, with its laboratories inside the mountains, is as militarily “transparent” as is the United States, with its dozens of millions of “illegal aliens,” roaming all over the country and across its borders.
