Chinese Dragon is a Fascist

Bill Gertz, Washington Times, reports here, here and here, in a multi part series that China is building itself economically and militarily to rival any world power.

China is building its military forces faster than U.S. intelligence and military analysts expected, prompting fears that Beijing will attack Taiwan in the next two years, according to Pentagon officials.

U.S. defense and intelligence officials say all the signs point in one troubling direction: Beijing then will be forced to go to war with the United States, which has vowed to defend Taiwan against a Chinese attack.

Despite the tremendous amount of economic exchange between the U. S. and China, China is not our friend. Gertz quotes a senior defense official, “We may be seeing in China the first true fascist society on the model of Nazi Germany, where you have this incredible resource base in a commercial economy with strong nationalism, which the military was able to reach into and ramp up incredible production,"…

Driving China’s potential expansionist designs is the need for energy. Gertz writes, “Beijing also is facing a major energy shortage that, according to one Pentagon study, could lead it to use military force to seize territory with oil and gas resources.”

To acquire the expertise to modernize its military might, China is effectively using espionage. Gertz writes, “China is stepping up its overt and covert efforts to gather intelligence and technology in the United States, and the activities have boosted Beijing's plans to rapidly produce advanced-weapons systems.”

Espionage is a big business in Southern California. Think not? Just take a look at all the defense and related contractors that are in the southland.
