#1 This is nothing new to us, Nikita Kruschev gave a speech vowing to defeat the US without firing a single bullet, he got so wound up he took his shoe off and beat on the podium like a lunatic. If china thinks they are gonna do a sneaky on us the cat is out of the bag. You can buy that rag of a book on amazon, you can watch the news and figure out they are sneaky little bastards and you can take one look at that part of the world and figure out that they don't have too many friends. Could china defeat Taiwan, Japan, Australia, the US, and South Korea all at the same time? Because that is probably what they would have to do. It is not just china against the US, it really is china against most of the world. We handled russian communism and we will handle china. The way things are going in china, they may do it to themselves.

#2 However, it is a two edge sword because those returning with the technology also bring with them the exposure to real democracy. Its a retrovirus of political institutions. You can suppress it with a lot of effort but you can never purge it from the body. It will be waiting there to exploit any opportunity should the body politic falter.

#3 This was a pathetic article, in that it didn't even cite what the Chinese have said they mean by "unconventional warfare", instead what the reporter *thinks* they mean--interpreting routine diplomatic, cultural and economic stuff as "warfare". Phooey. The cited white paper called for the use of pre-positioned nuclear explosives, biological weapons, and basically "anything anybody can think of". Practically speaking, their real emphasis would only partially be on distracting the American public. Most of their efforts will have to be focused on neutralizing the Pacific fleet and preventing the Atlantic fleet from entering the Pacific through the Panama Canal, and thanks once again, Jimmy Carter.
