China, Cheney, Superpower

Yes, we know Dick Cheney was sleeping during a crucial China meeting, but don't ever believe he's asleep at the wheel. Proof?

Is China serious about being a superpower? Dead serious. And they'll employ any methods possible to gain it.

Chinese Military linked to Missile Smuggling
By Bill Gertz
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 20, 2006
Court papers made public yesterday in the case of a California man who pleaded guilty to trying to smuggle anti-aircraft missiles into the United States show that a Chinese general and state-run manufacturer are linked to the crime.

The thing is, they don't really have to resort to strictly dirty tricks to succeed. They are doing it militarily, economically, and politically.

But still, we're superior to them militarily, right?
China has invested heavily in 'leapfrog' technology. They have an enormous nuclear arsenal of ICBMs(InterContinental Ballistic Missiles) with MIRVed warheads. MIRV, which stands for multiple independently targeted reentry vehicle, allows one warhead to carry multiple nuclear bombs with separate city destinations. Their Sunburn cruise missile is capable of 'ship killing' every one of our deployed aircraft carriers, battle groups, cruisers, and floating platforms. Once launched against them, our navy would have a scant 2.5 seconds to attempt a response. Suffice to say, it's not something that can be done.
They can hit us at land and at sea. Swift, silent, deadly. Done.

But still, we're superior to them economically, right?
China owns more of our national debt than anyone. Why would they want to buy debt? It's not profitable. But it is a powerful sway to hold over a nation's economy. If China decides to sell off their investment, our economy would collapse. While our trade deficit runs over year after year, China handily pockets surplus billions. China is invested in cheap goods, genetically modified foods, semiconductors, artificial intelligence, optoelectronics, and robotics just to name a few. Microsoft located a Research & Development facility in Beijing. Bad idea. China's modus operandi is to steal technology and then produce it cheaper and in larger quantities.
NEC & Intel better take note, though you know they won't.

But, we have the largest alliance with foreign powers, yes?
In April 2001, China's President (really Chairman - the President makes him seem all Western friendly) made a trip into our strategic Latin American backyard to cement alliances with Uruguay, Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Cuba and Venezuela. He went to Mexico and pow-wowed with Vincente Fox. They've even reached out to Japan. By investing, buying goods and giving out hundred million dollar loans to these countries, they've built up goodwill relations for their 'New International Order'.

Yup, that's what they are peddling across the globe and they repeat it incessantly - a 'New International Order' - as opposed to what they view as the current American dominated one. All this is happening while we bomb third world countries and fearmonger. They are building blocks for global superiority and dominance one patient step at a time.
China is reknown for their patience. One need only to look to 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu for the strategic benefits of stealth and patience. And they are doing it very, very successfully.

A UK paper blared of the recent meeting, "US to meet the New Superpower".

Meanwhile, we've turned our spy agencies inward on our own people.
How brilliant is that?
