| Chinese Video Urges War With U.S. |

| [FreeBeacon] State-controlled media urges fight 'til end,' calls for sanctions on U.S. companies President Trump got the CCP's attention. China's Communist Party-controlled media stepped up a war of words with the United States recently urging an escalation of the ongoing trade dispute into a full-scale conflict. "China must be prepared to fight a protracted war," states a four-minute, anti-American video posted five days ago on a Chinese video-sharing service. The video was posted on Watermelon Video, a short-video sharing platform that is under control of Beijing's State Administration of Radio and Television, the propaganda control office that regulates all online and broadcast content. Anything broadcast or published to the estimated 300 million Watermelon users is therefore considered approved by senior leaders of the ruling Communist Party of China. Analysts of Chinese propaganda said the posting of the video urging conflict with the United States represents a shift in official Communist Party policy in favor of more hardline anti-U.S. policies. The report said President Trump's announcement of increased tariffs on Chinese goods earlier this month was an escalation of the trade dispute. "This is an undisguised threat from a modern imperialistic country," the video said. "Now that they can't scare us with military forces, they resort to economic measures." According to the video, the trade war is about politics, not economic differences. "The trade war itself is not the goal but only a means to an end," the video says. Back at you Ching. "In essence the trade war is a competition of overall national strength between China and USA." The trade dispute was not launched by Trump but instead was instigated by anti-Chinese groups, the video asserts. "We should be prepared for the expansion of the trade war because in its core, the United States is a country that admires strength," the video said. "It is a matter of our country's future, and China must not make any concessions. Fortune favors the bold, all imperialists are paper tigers!" Guo Wengui, a dissident Chinese billionaire, urged the White House National Security Council, Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies to closely study the video for clues to future Chinese actions. By permitting the release of video, Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leaders are "trying to incite people to get behind the CCP and to lay out a plan for national warfare against the U.S.," Guo said. "This is not a joke from the CCP because they are really embedding a kind of a message in this video to prepare to confront the U.S.," he said. |

| #2 Maybe we could send Herb to China to convince them that war is not the way and not to attack us. |

| #1 Quite possibly rooted in truth, but I doubt it. Maybe it's for local consumption. One of the reasons they are doing so well is they have avoided major, expensive military engagements for what, 50 years? Anyway, I have not seen nor heard anything like this locally. No Chinese have mentioned it to me. There are some ghettos in their major cities they would love to clean up, but I don't think they are in the mood to totally rebuild Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, and other cities, which would be required after a fight with the US. |
