Chinese Communist Party's aggression is hurting US and others too

China and US with a strong economy and military though show to the international media that they are trying to clear differences, trying to ease their policies against each other, but in actual they are fighting a war behind the screen. A war of hacking each others's computers and stealing sensitive information and spying on top officials' email accounts.

The report says that both US and China are trying to do their best in hacking and spying but for a while US is in defensive mode whereas  

China has an immensely aggressive, or rather avid stance.

"The attacks coming out of China are not only continuing, they are accelerating"

―says Alan Paller, director of research at information-security training group SANS Institute in Washington, DC, as quoted by the Reuters.

It is believed that China has hacked terrabytes of information from US computers which comprise of almost any single information, from user names and passwords to the design of sophisticated weapon systems. China's policy has been to copy things and declare it as their own. China lacks new ideas thinkers so they have mastered in the art of copying and stealing.

It is not like that US never tried to hack chinese systems, just that they have not much learn from the chinese because all the information are stolen mainly from US or known to US.

A cable accessed by the Reuters through Wikileaks says that the attacks were coming from the sites which were registered in the city of Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province in central China. The Reuters also named the person as Chen Xingpeng whose job was to set up the websites using the "precise" postal code in Chengdu used by the People's Liberation Army Chengdu Province First Technical Reconnaissance Bureau (TRB), an electronic espionage unit of the Chinese military.

Not only military and political data was leaked but China also tried its greedy hands on US companies and market. Many tech companies, oil and gas companies and companies in financial sector reported that their systems were hacked at some or the other point of the time.

Major search engine, Google also said that their email service Gmail was hacked and many accounts were compromised who ever interfered in China's internal policy.

James A. Lewis, a former US diplomat says that the reason why China is these days trying so much to get access to US, Indians and other country's system is to keep its economy growing and at the second position.

"They've identified innovation as crucial to future economic growth -- but they're not sure they can do it," says Lewis. "The easiest way to innovate is to plagiarise" by stealing US intellectual property, he adds as quoted by the Reuters.

Excerpts of "The Black Book of Communism"

 

Pertinent quotes from the best-selling book 

"The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression":

[by several European academics and edited by Stéphane Courtois]

“To be sure, the [communistic] model was applied differently in different cultural settings. As Margolin points out, the chief agent of repression in Russia was a specially created political police, the Cheka-GPU-NKVD-KGB, while in China it was the People's Liberation Army, and in Cambodia it was gun-toting adolescents from the countryside: thus popular ideological mobilization went deeper in Asia than in Russia.

Still, everywhere the aim was to repress "enemies of the people" — "like noxious insects," as Lenin said early on, thus inaugurating Communism's "animalization" of its adversaries. Moreover, the line of inheritance from Stalin, to Mao, to Ho, to  Kim II Sung, to Pol Pot was quite clear, with each new leader receiving both material aid and ideological inspiration from his predecessor.”

[Editor Stéphane Courtois asserts that "...Communist regimes...turned mass crime into a full-blown system of government". He cites a death toll which totals 94 million, not counting the "excess deaths"

(decrease of the population due to lower than-expected birth rates). Deaths given by Courtois is as follows]

“It is not always easy to distinguish between events caused by fighting between rulers and rebels and events that can properly be described only as a massacre of the civilian population. Nonetheless, we have to start somewhere. The following rough approximation, based on unofficial estimates, gives some sense of the scale and gravity of these crimes: 

Deaths due to Communism Country Name Number of Deaths U.S.S.R. 20 million China 65 million Vietnam 1 million North Korea 2 million Cambodia 2 million Eastern Europe 1 million Latin America 150,000 Africa 1.7 million Afghanistan 1.5 million

The international Communist movement and Communist parties not in power: about 10,000 deaths.

The total approaches 100 million people killed.

The immense number of deaths conceals some wide disparities according to context. Unquestionably, if we approach these figures in terms of relative weight, first place goes to Cambodia, where Pol Pot, in three and a half years, engaged in the most atrocious slaughter, through torture and widespread famine, of about one-fourth of the country's total population.

However, China's experience under Mao is unprecedented in terms of the sheer number of people who lost their lives. As for the Soviet Union of Lenin and Stalin, the blood turns cold at its venture into planned, logical, and "politically correct" mass slaughter.”

“And the less familiar figures in Margolin's chapter in "China: A Long March into Night" are even more staggering: at a minimum, 10 million "direct victims"; probably 20 million deaths out of the multitudes that passed through China's "hidden Gulag," the laogai; more than 20 million deaths from the "political famine" of the Great Leap Forward of 1959-1961, the largest famine in history.”

“During Mao's Cultural Revolution, priceless treasures were smashed or burned by the Red Guards. Yet however terrible this destruction may ultimately prove for the nations in question and for humanity as a whole, how does it compare with the mass murder of human beings — of men, women, and children?”

"The book's second point is that there never was a benign, initial phase of Communism before some mythical "wrong turn" threw it off track."

[The Black Book of Communism received praise in a number of publications in the United States and Britain, including the Times Literary Supplement, New York Times Book Review, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews, The New Republic, National Review and The Weekly Standard   ]

The Truth about infamous Tiananmen Square Incident

There are so many obstacles and versions about the Tiananmen Square Incident, mostly coming from the Chinese government that we feel behooved to ask,

"Is it at all possible to ever know the truth about the Tiananmen Square Incident (massacre)?"

Presently the truth has been made inaccessible and hazy, and it is far less likely that the reality will come to light until there is a real democratic system in China.

The Tiananmen Square Incident what started as a pro-democracy movement in 1989, after nearly two months deadlock, it eventually ended up being a tragedy in  which a number of people needlessly died.

To a certain extent, the government's immediate reaction was aimed to distort the fact.

"The state did give its own version of events immediately after the violence in 1989. Chinese television showed ragged protesters with black arm bands throwing Molotov cocktails and army vehicles set on fire." (Beam C 2009). 

This shows that the Chinese government wants to make people to believe that there was a rebellion.

(similar to how they handled the ramifications of 23rd July, 2011 train crash by enacting a virtual media blackout on the disaster except for positive stories)

They not only wanted to fabricate an alternate set of truth for Chinese people, they also tried to block the flow of information.

"...Some foreign journalists were subjected to an inquiry, their electronic equipment was also examined by the CPLA..." (Forney M 2001).

The COMMUNIST PARTY'S immediate reaction to this event show that their aim is to prevent the truth to come to light which also justified them to have further repression and censorship on ordinary Chinese people.

For example, they confiscated the freedom of rights to those people who want to tell the truth. "(and still continue to do so with self-righteous gusto). Free expression activist Liu Xiaobo, one of the leading figures of the 1989 movement, was recently re-arrested.

Several journalists, including Shi Tao, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for sending an email about the Tiananmen Square anniversary in 2004, are still in prison for referring to the massacre." (RSF 2009). This, without a doubt, proves that the government less interested in allowing the spread of the facts from the inside.

In short, They don't want to disclose the facts.

Helpless, stupefied citizens showing bullets and shells to news reporters

Now, we all know (right? don't we?) that China's communist rulers (dictators) have distorted and denied the truth about what happened 20 years ago in Tiananmen Square. But they aren't the only ones. In an equally disturbing betrayal of history, Western human rights activists and liberal commentators have also twisted the sad story of the events of that fatal day, creating a fairytale version of events that bears little relation to what happened in those bloody days of June 1989.

Twenty years on, the Communist Party of China (CPC) still continues to play down or deny the seriousness of the protests and massacre. It insultingly refers to the events as the "4 June Incident" (as though something trivial or nothing had happened). It claims that "only" 241 people died, including soldiers, much to their dismay, some other reports (who?) put the number of deaths in between 1,500 and 3000.

Tiananmen Square, and the area of Chang'an Boulevard in front of it, became an army camp after more than 100 tanks came into the city overnight.

Ten armed soldiers beating a protester to death in during the massacre

Chinese Communist Party denies its citizens access to information about the events: search for "Tiananmen Square massacre" on the internet in China and you'll be told: "This page cannot be found." The truth telling pages are being put down or censored.

Tanks and a dead body on Tiananmen Square at dawn of June 4th

Western human rights groups have not indulged in such denialism, but they have employed much mythmaking of their own, airbrushing from history what they consider to be inconvenient facts and creating a neat but terribly skewed morality tale about June 1989.

The main victims were workers in Beijing suburbs - now forgotten by the West Thanks to the images propagated by groups like Amnesty and Human Rights Watch, most Westerners think the Tiananmen Square Massacre involved Chinese soldiers shooting pro-democracy students in the central square of Beijing.

Famous "students vs tanks" Image

The most famous image from the protests - that of a student standing in front of tanks - strengthens the idea that was a simple Students vs Soldiers story. This is unforgivably  inaccurate.

It is of course true that in May and June 1989 many students set up camp in Tiananmen, where they demanded democratic and economic reforms, and that some of them suffered when the CPC launched its military clampdown on 3 and 4 June. Yet there were uprisings across Beijing, and in other parts of China, and the main victims of the unspeakable violence - now largely forgotten thanks to Western human rights activism - were not students in the square, but ordinary workers miles away in the suburbs of Beijing.

The Chinese authorities sent their tanks to crush a workers' rebellion. In their fascinating book Black Hands of Beijing: Lives of Defiance in China's Democracy Movement, human rights experts George Black and Robin Munro wrote:

"What took place was the slaughter not of students but of ordinary workers and residents - precisely the target that the Chinese government had intended."

Black and Munro point out that the workers of Beijing, whose lives had become harsher as a result of Premier Deng Xiaoping's introduction of crude market reforms from the late 1970s onwards,  had "much more to be angry about than the students", and the CPC's aim was to "crush them".

The fact of the matter is that the worst state violence occurred miles away from Tiananmen Square in the western suburbs of Beijing, where, as China expert Jonathan Fenby puts it, there was a "far bigger massacre of non-students". Hundreds of workers were gunned down in the streets, which is why some people, including many Chinese dissidents, refer to the events as "the Beijing massacre" rather than the "Tiananmen Square massacre".

Military personnel cleaning up the mess

Indeed, just as the CPC's use of the term "4 June Incident"  for referring to that incident and the derogatory term "ruffians" or "rioter" for referring to the victims, gives the impression that this was a minor event, so the Western-created name of "Tiananmen Square massacre" depicts a serious city-wide uprising as a small-scale, one-square clash.

Jay Mathews, former Beijing correspondent for the Washington Post, says Western journalists have spread irresponsible stories about a square-based massacre:

"Hundreds of people, most of them workers and passers-by, did die that night", he says, "but in a different place [to the square] and under different circumstances".

Yet if you question Western representations of June 1989, says Mathews, you'll be looked upon as a pedant or worse, a Tiananmen denier. Tell journalists they have given misleading accounts and they will say:

"So what? The Chinese army killed many innocent people that night. Who cares exactly where the atrocities took place?"

In China, debate about June 1989 is curtailed by censorship - in the West it is discouraged by those who have propagated the simplistic Square story.

Perhaps feeling they have more in common with the students in the square - who, unlike many of the rioting workers, were peaceful and erudite - Western observers have made the students the central focus of the June 1989 story. Whether wittingly or unwittingly, they have pushed from public view the key victims of the Beijing Massacre.

They have also, in a terrible irony, done the Chinese authorities a favor, helping to represent what was a state-shaking uprising by thousands of workers, residents and students in Beijing and beyond as a relatively small, polite, Amnesty-style protest for "reform".

Hong Kong, next level of China's Communist Imperialism

In Tibet where there are currently almost a thousand political prisoners, is, right now, no freedom of religion, speech or the press due to the Communist occupation.

Occupation has also done severe damage to Tibet's environment, another source of pain to native Tibetans, who believe in respecting the Nature and Earth. The Communists have engaged in deforestation in Tibet and dumping of nuclear waste from their own country. Tibet's holiest lake, Yamdrok Tso, is now being drained by the Communists to use for a hydroelectric power facility. Moving on to another comparatively surreptitious and deliberately ignored and understated encroachment of Chinese Hegemony, Hong Kong.

A young girl holds Hong Kong and Chinese flags as she poses for a photo before the Hong Kong skyline.

HONG KONG RESENTS CHINA AND WITH GOOD REASON:                                          

The traditional distance between Hong Kong Chinese and their mainland counterparts was thrown into sharp relief recently, after two widely seen videos dramatized the cultural gulf that still exist between the two sides nearly 15 years after Hong Kong’s reunification with China. In one, a cell phone video disseminated on social network sites and Hong Kong TV news, arguments erupt between Hong Kong and mainland Chinese after a local man tries to stop a mainland girl from eating in a Hong Kong subway carriage. The other is a response from a nationalist academic, Beijing University professor Kong Qingdong, couched in language so virulent that at least one version was removed from YouTube for violating the site’s policy on “hate speech.” The professor says “Some Hong Kong people don’t see themselves as Chinese … They are bastards,” before adding “These people are too used to being running dogs for British imperialists.”

Hong Kong’s colonial past (which actually resulted in their proclivity towards valuing "Freedom of Speech") is one reason why many see such a rigid delineation between “us” and “them.” Large numbers of Hong Kong Chinese retain British or other foreign travel documents and take a balanced view of the colonial era — viewing it as a time of racial or social injustices, certainly, but also as source of many of the city’s defining advantages, including common law, a global outlook and media freedom. These have been contributing factors in a distinctive local culture that has long caused many Hong Kong people to quietly regard themselves as being far from ordinary Chinese. These days, however, the issue of identity is spilling into a more public forum.

A University of Hong Kong public-opinion poll that has been conducted every six months since 1997 measures the number of Hong Kong residents who identify as Hong Kong citizens, Chinese citizens or some combination of the two. In the latest survey, released in December, the number of respondents identifying themselves first and foremost as Hong Kong citizens was the highest in 10 years, while the number who saw themselves primarily as Chinese sunk to a 12-year low. The results hit a nerve: mainland officials called the poll unscientific and state-run media lashed out at the survey’s main organizer, accusing him of working for the British (typical scapegoating attitude of Beijing's thuggish leaders) to “incite Hong Kong people to deny they are Chinese.”

In part, Hong Kong people’s negativity toward mainland Chinese reflects discontent over the Communist government’s control over the supposedly autonomous region.

Owing colossal credit  to communist leaders in Beijing, the dominant political forces in Hong Kong are pro-China, and the Hong Kong government is viewed as regularly kowtowing to Beijing (Not reflecting the majority of Hong Kong citizenry). Hong Kong is politically distinct from the mainland, most notably with its laws governing freedom of speech and freedom of protest, and any muddling of this distinction is “frightening” to locals, says Gordon Mathews, a scholar on Hong Kong identity at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. 

“The greatest fear Hong Kong people have is Hong Kong becoming just one more city in China.”

—given the Chinese aggression that seems more than likely.

Pocketbook issues are also exacerbating political and cultural divisions. In recent years, wealthy mainland Chinese have become a welcome lifeline for Hong Kong’s economy, filling hotel rooms and emptying designer stores (their shopping sprees make up one-third of retail sales). On the other hand, their speculation in Hong Kong’s property market is widely resented. Mainland Chinese buyers are behind 30% of all luxury home sales and there is a perception that they are driving up overall property prices, leaving even middle class Hong Kong people struggling to afford exorbitant rents or mortgage down-payments. Hundreds of thousands of mainland Chinese migrants — many of them the spouses and children of Hong Kong residents — have meanwhile put pressure on housing and school places in an already overcrowded city. Even milk formula has at times become scarce in supermarkets. After the 2008 tainted milk scandal in China, mainland Chinese crossed the border to stock up on imported formula in Hong Kong, denuding shelves and leaving local parents fuming. The net result is increasingly open antagonism that can be triggered by seemingly minor pretexts. Earlier this month, hundreds-strong protests took place outside the shop front of luxury Italian brand D&G,because a security guard told locals only mainland Chinese and other tourists were allowed to take photos in front of the store.

The area of greatest contention lies in the numbers of pregnant women from the mainland entering Hong Kong to give birth, which automatically grants the babies residency, as well as the free schooling and high-quality health care that goes along with it. In 2010, 37% of babies born in Hong Kong were to mainland families where neither parent was a Hong Kong resident. It has become alarmingly difficult for pregnant women, local or otherwise, to reserve hospital beds in the maternity ward, even after the number of mainland women allowed in Hong Kong hospitals was capped at 34,400 for this year.

A week ago, dozens of pregnant women marched in protest in the cold and rain. The women, along with hundreds more husbands and other supporters, were calling for a legislative change to overturn automatic right of abode through local birth. 

“If [mainland people] come here for the resources and welfare and are not contributing, then it’s a problem. It is out of control now,” said Zumi Fung, an expectant mother who was part of the protest.

The Facebook group of 80,000 members that organized the demonstration has become a forum to vent vitriol at the mainland Chinese in Hong Kong, who are called by the derogatory term “locusts” and much worse.

The issue of mainland mothers has become a central talking point for Hong Kong’s election in March, when the chief executive will be selected by an electoral committee of 1,200. The two frontrunners have both vowed to improve the situation with tighter border control and quotas. One of them, former Chief Secretary Henry Tang, has also called for a more “inclusive” mindset to create a more “harmonious society.” But it is doubtful that Hong Kong people will adopt harmonious attitudes towards China or their mainland brethren any time soon. “I think it will only happen when China becomes a democracy,” says researcher Mathews. “And I’m not holding my breath on that.”

CHINESE OCCUPATION OF TIBET HAS TURNED IT INTO "HELL ON EARTH"

Save Tibet. Save Tibet Tibetan nuns protesting diabolical Chinese oppression, 2011

"At age 24, I became a refugee," Dalai Lama said at one point. "I lost my home in Tibet but found a bigger home in India."

India since then (1959 A.D.) maintains that His Holiness is an honored guest and, as a spiritual leader, has the right to address nonpolitical gatherings.

For six decades, the Dalai Lama presided over Tibet's government-in-exile from the north Indian town of Dharamsala, until in May this year when he gave up his political powers to Sangay, an elected representative.

While he refrained from any references to China, he did not hesitate to draw on examples of the acts of "hard-line Chinese officials" who were against his stay in India, including that in 2008, when he caused a stir by asserting that an area Communist China brashly claims as "South Tibet" was actually part of the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.

After the Dalai Lama's revealing speech, thousands of young Tibetans took to the streets chanting "China Out!" and "Tibet belongs to Tibetans!"

A Tibetan broke into tears for Freedom in Tibet (Nangsa)

Tibetan crying helplessly

Tibet has become "hell on earth" under Chinese oppression that has driven Tibetan culture to the verge of extinction, the Dalai Lama said Tuesday, in harsh comments marking the 50th anniversary of the failed uprising that sent him into exile.

Tibetan Natives arrested for protesting against draconian Chinese oppression

Chinese martial law, and hard-line policies such as the Cultural Revolution, devastated the mountain region and left hundreds of thousands of Tibetans dead, he said, condemning the "brutal crackdown" in the region since protests last year turned violent. 

"Even today, Tibetans in Tibet live in constant fear, and the Chinese authorities remain constantly suspicious of them," the Dalai Lama said in this Indian hill town.

A petrified Tibetan begging for freedom

In India, the Tibetan spiritual leader told a group of about 2,000 people, including Buddhist monks, Tibetan schoolchildren and a handful of foreign supporters, that the religion, culture, language and identity of successive generations of Tibetans faced "extinction." Tibetans in Tibet were living in "hell on earth," he added. 

"I have no doubt that the justice of Tibetan cause will prevail if we continue to tread a path of truth and non-violence," he said. 

Foreign demonstrators marching against China's illegitimate occupation of FREE Tibet

Later, at a press conference, he said he'd become deeply discouraged about repeated rounds of failed talks between his representatives and Beijing.

"We have to prepare for the worst. At the same time, we should not give up our hope," he said.

"The Chinese government thinks I am a demon, " the Dalai Lama said at an event in Kolkata on Friday, laughing. "I may be a demon but not a bad one."

Tenzin Dorjee, Executive Director of Students for a Free Tibet:

“In spite of China’s repression, there is a powerful new movement being led by the young generation inside Tibet. They are using creative, non-violent tactics to empower themselves and their communities and to challenge Chinese rule”

Chinese oppression compelled Tibetan journalist to flee Tibet for possessing photos.

On 23 January 2012, Chinese security forces opened fire on Tibetan protesters, killing at least one man, earlier that day.

Free Tibet is aware of up to 30 others who have been injured, many of them shot, after a large gathering in Draggo (also known as Drango) was fired upon. The situation is still ongoing.

(Heartless) Chinese Security Forces

Tibetans shot

The dead man has been named as Norpa Yonten, a 49-year-old lay person from Norpa village, Norchung township in Draggo County. His body has been taken to the nearby Draggo monastery.

At least one other person has been taken to the monastery with gunshot wounds. Locals are fearful to take the injured to hospital in case they are arrested.

Tibetans are reportedly travelling to Draggo and large crowds are gathering in the grounds of the monastery.

Arrest of Tibetans

It is still unclear what sparked the protest. There are reports that Tibetans around Draggo were arrested this morning on suspicion of distributing leaflets and posters calling for freedom and the protest was a response to these arbitrary detentions.

There are also claims that it was in response to celebrations marking the Chinese New Year which many local Tibetans had decided to boycott due to the growing unrest.

 

The protesters were heard to call out for freedom for Tibet and the return of the Dalai Lama.

Internet access is now banned in Draggo.

US-CHINA COLD WAR or a FULL-FLEDGED WORLD WAR 3?

President Barack Obama was in Asia to declare a cold war with China.  Hopefully the U.S.-China cold war won’t be like the one fought with the Soviet Union that brought the world to the brink of nuclear annihilation and cost trillions of dollars over 60 years.

The crux of the conflict is China’s attempt to assert its sovereignty over the South China Sea, a resource-rich conduit for roughly $5 trillion in annual global trade, of which $1.2 trillion is American, which U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared last year a matter of “national interest.”

Beijing’s assertive behavior in the South China Sea precipitated calls from Asian allies for the U.S. to deepen its involvement to be a strong counterweight. 

Those calls led to the formulation of Obama’s new Asia strategy, which administration officials admit changes America’s “military posture toward China” into something like the former East-West cold war. The first shots of the new war were heard last week.

President Obama, while traveling in Asia, fired the first rounds of the cold war when he declared the U.S. is a “Pacific nation,” and USA intends to play "a larger and long-term role in shaping this region and its future.”

“I have directed my national security team to make our presence and missions in the Asia Pacific a top priority,” Obama said. The region “is absolutely vital not only for our economy but also for our national security,” 

—and then the President and his representatives unveiled an avalanche of cold war-like initiatives intended to counter China’s demoniacal hegemony.
 

1. The U.S. will increase its military presence in Asia (Thank GOD for that).  Obama announced 
2. an agreement to permanently station 2,500 Marines in Australia, and 
3. to increase combat aircraft such as B-52 bombers and aircraft carriers traveling to Australia.  
4. That Compliments 28,000 troops already stationed in South Korea, and 50,000 in Japan.

Obama headed to Bali after promising partnership to Australian lawmakers

Ally Singapore promised to provide basing for U.S. littoral combat ships, and Vietnam invited the U.S. Navy to use the Cam Ranh Bay port for provisioning and repairs.

Obama has already announced plans to supply 24 refurbished F-16C/D fighter aircraft to Indonesia, the administration restated its arms commitment to China-rival Taiwan, and the administration is considering offering the Philippines a second destroyer.  Also last week, Clinton was in Manila to mark the 60th anniversary of the U.S.-Philippine Mutual Defense Treaty, to discuss regional issues, and then she traveled to Thailand to bolster that relationship.

On the economic front, Obama announced an Asia Pacific free trade deal, called the Trans-Pacific Partnership, that excludes Beijing.   He also used the trip as an opportunity to admonish the Chinese to “play by the rules” (which, in effect, means "don't cross your limit") and repeatedly criticized Beijing for undervaluing their currency, which makes American goods more expensive.

On the diplomatic front, Obama attended the East Asia Summit (EAS) in Bali, Indonesia—the first time an American president has attended the annual event.  Obama wants the EAS to serve as a decision-making body for policy in the region.

Consider Beijing’s behavior that precipitated these cold war initiatives and how Obama’s Asia strategy might play out.

First, China’s actions and its downright insolent rhetoric regarding the South China Sea are warlike. It claims “indisputable” sovereignty (hegemony) over 90% of the sea in order to gain maximum access to about a tenth of the world’s commercial seafood and oil and gas reserves that could rival those of Kuwait.  It threatens international oil firms that sign deals with South China Sea countries and Chinese warships routinely harass ships in contested waters.

China’s semi-official Global Times threatened, 

“If these countries don’t want to change their ways with China, they will need to prepare for the sound of cannons.”

The Times was referring to the 750 Spratley Islands in the South China Sea, which are contested by Asian states such as Vietnam.

Furthermore, on November, 2011 The bellicose authorities of China's Authoritarian Regime (CCP) deemed it well within their rights  to obliquely threaten India for their licit Oil exploration activities by ONGC Videsh in the waters off Vietnam.

ONGC Videsh had legally signed a contract with the Vietnamese authorities to explore blocks 127 and 128 off Spratly Islands —which had supposedly pricked China in the wrong place.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said in Beijing on Monday his country has more than once made it clear that it did not want outside forces involved in the dispute.

"We don't hope to see outside forces involved in the South China Sea dispute, and do not want to see foreign companies engage in activities that will undermine China's sovereignty and rights and interests," Liu Weimin said.

To which India humbly replied that the exploration of oil and gas in South China Sea was "purely a commercial activity" and the dispute should be sorted out in accordance with international laws and practices.

To foster its dire imperialistic goals, China for the past two decades has funded an unprecedented military expansion program. With no known threat to its homeland, that should leave no doubt that the Chinese plan to use their modernized People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to further their expansionist objectives by intimidation or outright aggression.  

Their "illegal claim" to essentially the entire South China Sea, which they have declared a “core interest,” is a case in point. 

Their unauthorized building of facilities on the Philippines‘ Mischief Reef in 1995 and their forced confrontation with Japan over disputed islands in 2010 only serve to illustrate what China is prepared to do in the future.

More recently, an Asahi news article published on Dec. 31 stated that the PLA has developed an internal tactical plan to seize control of disputed islands in the South China Sea by force. According to the article, exercises involving the PLA, air force and navy were conducted in July and November to test the plan. One source from the Guangzhou Military Region stated, 

“We were able to demonstrate that we had the ability to destroy a U.S. aircraft carrier.”

Retired Navy Adm. James A. Lyons, former commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations, considers PLA weapons upgrades as a "signal of their goal of Pacific hegemony". And Last in 2011 he stated:

"With China’s continuous support to prop up the puppet regime in Pyongyang, it is simply ludicrous and a denial of reality to give any credit to China for any progress toward peace on the Korean Peninsula. The six-party talks have failed to produce any redirection in the North Korean threat. China’s goal is clear - to destroy the U.S. alliance with Japan and South Korea."

U.S. Aircraft Carriers Secure Obama in Bali for ASEAN Summit.

"We need to make clear to Chinese leadership in unmistakable terms that we consider the deployment of the PLA’s ASBM [anti-ship ballistic missile, DF-21D] an “unfriendly act.” Further, should it be used against our aircraft carriers, we would consider such an attack the same as an attack on our homeland, which would be answered with a devastating response." 

(That's more like it, let's screw the imperialism of these haughty, megalomaniacal, bellicose communist chinks)

Summary

1. The country imprisons Nobel prizewinners such as the political activist and writer Liu Xiaobo, steals intellectual property and technological know-how from every nation with which it does business and strives to deny its people access to information through internet censorship.

China chose to make an example of Nobel Peace-Prize winner Liu by jailing him for 11 years for Speaking his mind

2. The people of Tibet suffer relentless persecution from their Chinese occupiers, while Western leaders who meet the Dalai Lama are snubbed in consequence.

3. Other Asian nations are appalled by China’s campaign to dominate the Western Pacific. Japan’s fears of Chinese-North Korean behaviour are becoming so acute that the country might even abandon decades of eschewing nuclear weapons, to create a deterrent.

4. A few months ago, the insolent Chinese party-controlled newspaper "Global Times" carried a harshly bellicose editorial, warning other nations not to frustrate Beijing’s [Hegemonic] ambitions in the South China Sea [as though it's an internal lake as opposed to actually being part of an ocean] — Vietnam, for example, is building schools and roads to assert its sovereignty on a series of disputed islands also claimed by China.

The Beijing newspaper asserted: 

If Vietnam continues to provoke China, China will . . . if necessary strike back with naval forces. If Vietnam wants to start a war, China has the confidence to destroy invading Vietnam battleships.’

Now the Questions remain, should only Mexico use the "Gulf of Mexico" because it's not named after America. The "Gulf of California" is in Mexico, so that should be used only by America? Should the "Arabian Sea" be no concern to India?

US has allies in the eastern section of the world (i.e. Asian countries). Militarily weaker countries which IMPERIALISTIC China would eat alive (like it did to peaceable Tibet and trying to do in Taiwan) were it not for USA.

Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Thailand.  Even the perceived enemy the Vietnam needs protection from China's bullish and Imperialistic proclivities.

If USA did not involve itself in that part of the world it would anyway embroil itself in a major war. The Chinese would then be the big bully on the block. Would anyone prefer that? Some say it's better to intervene now before the whole WORLD gets drawn into a larger conflict.
