Xi Jinping Eager to Reach Three Goals, Draws Red Line for Biden
Chinese Communist Party expert Cheng Xiaonong recently wrote an article analyzing Biden’s rise to power as the CCP rushes to improve Sino-U.S. relations economically and diplomatically.
The CCP has three specific goals wrapped in diplomatic rhetoric that it is eager to achieve. The first is the removal of U.S. tariffs on China so that the CCP can resume large-scale exports to the United States; the second is the removal of U.S. financial controls so that Chinese companies can resume their operations in the United States to make money; and the third is the removal of U.S. technology controls and personnel controls so that the CCP can regain the “freedom” to steal intellectual property. After Biden came to power, he only suspended the discussion on restricting investment in the Chinese military industry, but other aspects still “follow the rules of Sichuan and Bay”.
Before Biden entered the White House, the Chinese Communist Party had its ambassador to the U.S., Cui Tiankai, arrange for Yang Jiechi, the “No. 3” in diplomacy, to go to the U.S. for high-level talks since last December, and even try to get Xi Jinping to hold a summit with Biden.
On January 26, the Chinese Communist Party’s foreign propaganda mouthpiece, Dovetail News, published an article, “Xi Jinping Leaves Little Time for Biden,” urging Biden to make an early decision.
On January 26, former CCP Vice Premier Zeng Peiyan used the “Hong Kong China-US Forum” to say that China and the U.S. should launch a new round of economic and trade negotiations and eliminate the high tariffs since the trade war as soon as possible.
On January 28, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng called on the U.S. to adjust its strategy toward China.
On January 29 Wang Qishan shouted by video to the U.S. representatives attending the 12th round of dialogue between U.S. and Chinese business leaders and former senior officials.
On February 2, Yang Jiechi held a video dialogue with the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, and his speech clearly demonstrated his intention to harness the Biden Administration‘s policy toward China.
The CCP’s shouting was very high-profile, soft but hard, effectively drawing a red line for the Biden administration’s China Policy. Yang Jiechi’s speech was not only tough in tone, but also specified various tasks that the Biden administration has to accomplish for the CCP. Among the four demands he made, the first three were non-negotiable; while the fourth point, “develop mutually beneficial cooperation,” although the word “cooperation” was repeated 24 times, was hollow and purely imaginary. In his speech, Yang Jiechi even lectured the United States not to keep mentioning the word “national security” in front of the Chinese Communist Party. Relatedly, Yang Jiechi did not mention a single word about the U.S.-China military confrontation, as the Chinese Communist Party is using constant military threats to blackmail the Biden regime.
Chinese Communist Party Calls for “U.S.-China Cooperation” U.S. Department of State: Align with Allies First
The picture shows U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price.
In response to the Chinese Communist Party’s high-level frequent shouting to the new U.S. government, the United States and China should contact as soon as possible to cooperate, the U.S. State Department spokesman Ned Price (Ned Price) said on the 2nd, the United States will coordinate with allies and partners “in tune” before they will communicate with Beijing. He also criticized the Chinese Communist Party for undermining human rights.
Yang Jiechi, director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), delivered a video speech at the National Committee on United States-China Relations on February 2, criticizing the Trump administration’s push to decouple the U.S. and China, calling on the U.S. and China to restart dialogue as soon as possible, and mentioning U.S.-China “cooperation” 31 times, while asking the U.S. to stop “interfering” in Hong Kong, Tibet and Xinjiang, and does not oppose Beijing’s position on Taiwan.
Price said it was no coincidence that Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken initially interacted with European and Indo-Pacific partners, and that with the Chinese Communist Party, the United States “will look at it from a competitive perspective and compete with it, and the United States will ultimately win that competition. Price noted that Washington and Beijing are in conflict over trade, technology, regional security and other related issues, and “we know that China [the Chinese Communist Party] is hurting American labor in many areas, undermining our technological advantage, threatening our allies, and increasing its influence on international organizations.
U.S. Defense Secretary Orders Nimitz Carrier to Move to Indo-Pacific to Counter Communist China
Defense Department spokesman John Kirby announced Tuesday (Feb. 2) that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has ordered the USS Nimitz carrier battle group to leave the area of responsibility of U.S. Central Command and enter the Indo-Pacific region. Media reports say the move means confronting the Chinese Communist threat will become a priority for the Biden administration’s Pentagon.
“We are a Pacific power and we have responsibilities there,” Kirby told reporters Tuesday (Feb. 2). “(The defense secretary) he sees the Chinese Communist Party as the biggest challenge in this department.” He added, “You’ve heard the defense secretary talk about the need for us to pay more attention to the Asia-Pacific region.” Defense Secretary Austin served as commander of U.S. Central Command.
The carrier USS Nimitz’s Home port is Bremerton, Washington, and the carrier is now to join the area of responsibility of the U.S. Navy’s Seventh Fleet, where it deploys for operations, training or humanitarian exercises.
The Nimitz’s deployment to the Indo-Pacific region means two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers are operating in the Pacific theater. The USS Roosevelt carrier battle group began operations in the Indo-Pacific on Dec. 23, 2020. The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan is currently undergoing maintenance in Japan.
In addition, Austin told senators during his Jan. 19 Senate confirmation hearing that he wants to go to the Indo-Pacific as soon as possible.
Xi Jinping’s Step by Step, Biden Can’t Retreat?
Chinese Communist Party expert Cheng Xiaonong recently wrote an article analyzing the Biden administration’s seemingly indifferent attitude toward the Chinese Communist Party’s constant diplomatic pressure, which has been lukewarm and ignored. One of the key considerations is that there is no peace in the Pacific Ocean.
Since last year, the Chinese Communist Party has quietly changed its naval strategy from relying primarily on aircraft carrier formations to relying on a nuclear submarine fleet; more importantly, it has also quietly changed its nuclear warfare strategy from a reactive nuclear counterattack during the U.S.-Soviet Cold War to an active nuclear attack.
To this end, the Chinese Communist Party’s strategic nuclear submarines are trying to break through the First Island Chain so that they can enter the deep waters of the Central Pacific Ocean, where they can be safely hidden and at any time launch a surprise nuclear attack against the United States. Thus the focus of the Sino-US Cold War changed from above water to underwater. The main base of the Communist Party’s nuclear submarine fleet is at Yulin Port in Sanya, Hainan Island, and to the northeast from Sanya is the nearest U.S. bus strait, making the southwest waters of Taiwan one of the key sea areas for an underwater standoff between the two sides.
From October last year to the present, the Communist nuclear submarines have continued to operate in the southwest waters of Taiwan, and U.S. submarines have continued to conduct underwater surveillance.
The Chinese Communist Party has not only repeatedly attempted to break through the Bus Strait with strategic nuclear submarines, but has also used unmanned underwater vehicles in the Java Sea of Indonesia to collect hydrographic data on submarine routes in order to open a “deep sea fortress” southern route into the Central Pacific Ocean via the Java Sea and the northern coast of Australia. The Chinese Communist Party has also been preparing to build a submarine base on Daru Island in Papua New Guinea, near Australia, and has imposed economic sanctions on Australia for half a year to force Australia to abandon its defense program.
Cheng Xiaonong pointed out that this series of escalating underwater nuclear threats against the United States is also an attempt to exert pressure on the Biden administration. The Chinese Communist Party’s two-pronged approach of attacking and intimidating the Biden administration has actually pushed the Biden administration to a point of no return. As a result, the “Sichuan rule” has become a natural consequence of the current Sino-US relations.
Replace Xi Jinping? Anonymous U.S. Official’s “Extended Telegram” Leads to Heated Debate
A few days ago, an anonymous former U.S. official wrote an “extended cable” suggesting a new strategy for U.S. policy toward China that would target only Xi Jinping and distinguish the 90 million members of the Communist Party of China. The proposal has sparked much debate. Some commentators say it implies that the new U.S. strategy should replace Xi Jinping. But others say that without abandoning the CCP system, even if Xi is replaced, it would be a change of Soup and not a change of Medicine.
Recently, the U.S. political website Politico published a report provided by the Atlantic Council entitled The Longer Telegram: Toward ANew American China Strategy, nearly 80 pages.
The report was written anonymously by a former U.S. official with “extensive experience in China affairs,” according to the report. The report says it is “unsophisticated” to treat the 91 million members of the Chinese Communist Party differently from the Xi Jinping-led decision-making circle and to treat the Communist Party as one and indiscriminate.
The report argues that U.S. policy should lead Beijing back to the China that existed before Xi Jinping’s reign, but does not suggest specific ways to do so.
In response, China expert Chen Baokong said in a live broadcast that the report calls for further subdivision of U.S. policy toward China, not only to separate the Chinese people from the Communist Party, but also to subdivide the Communist Party internally, and to return Communist China to its pre-Xi Jinping state. This is mainly because the Xi Jinping era of external expansion is more dangerous to the United States and to the international community.
Chen said the report sets a bottom line, at least to return China to its pre-Xi Jinping state, and that the report only targets Xi personally, strongly implying that Xi should be replaced. The U.S. should support another faction in the CCP hierarchy; although it is not explicitly mentioned, one can imagine that among the seven standing committees of the CCP, Li Keqiang and Wang Yang and others are relatively open-minded.
But many critics argue that even if Xi were replaced without abandoning the CCP system, whoever comes to power would be a change of scenery. And this hypothesis may not exist. Perhaps Xi is the most suitable candidate to accelerate the CCP’s demise as the last party leader, chosen by God.
According to China columnist Zheng Zhongyuan, Xi Jinping is the one who has the most sense of crisis among the successive leaders of the CCP, and the first term of Xi’s anti-corruption campaign was under the banner of saving the party, and the way he ruled the party was unprecedented, with a campaign to beat the tigers and swat the flies that has not yet ended. But no matter how the party is fixed, people can see that Xi is accelerating the party’s defeat, running wildly, so netizens have called him the “chief accelerator”.
Xi Jinping’s high-profile preparations for the New Year are evidence that he will lose if he goes to war?
Although Xi Jinping’s high profile is to prepare for war, the Communist Party’s approach is always to fool around.
On January 4, Xi Jinping signed Order No. 1 for 2021 and issued a mobilization order for the start of training, calling for “focus on preparing for war and fighting. Immediately, the Chinese Communist military media went into overdrive, reporting on the so-called actual combat training.
On January 3, 2021, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported, “A brigade of officers and soldiers of the Northern War Zone Army climbed ice and snow to attack and research training, and practiced cold-zone warfare”. It looks like a good propaganda effect, but the brigade leader introduced, “in recent years, the force equipment renewal, training transformation accelerated …… into the winter, they completed all the main combat equipment live firing test in several field firing range, solve a type of tank cold conditions, the first shot hit rate is low, vehicle parallel Machine guns are easy to jam and other problems”.
Commentator Shen Zhou recently wrote that Xi Jinping could not have been unaware of the real level of equipment of the Chinese Communist Party’s army, and he gave orders for live-fire training, but I am afraid that the equipment of the Chinese Communist Party’s army cannot guarantee the needs of live-fire, and the related corruption stories will continue.
In the summer of 2020, a clash occurred on the Sino-Indian border, and a Chinese military vehicle was actually smashed through by Indian troops, resulting in the death of the soldier. This is what led to the exposure of the Dongfeng Motor Group’s use of inferior steel plates to manufacture military vehicles, which led to a major case of military vehicle corruption.
On January 15, 2021, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported, “Polishing the “clairvoyant eyes” of warships – Perception of the times and national service of military workers in the radar workshop of a naval repair plant. The article was intended to praise the repair staff, but instead leaked the problems of the radar of the Chinese Communist Party warships. The article describes that “since its inception …… shop generations of people have struggled for more than 60 years …… to look farther ahead and better find the difficulties that limit the generation of equipment combat power.”
It seems that the radar of Chinese communist warships has become a big problem, and radar repair has become a Family affair. The article also describes, “China’s arsenal radar repair equipment is relatively backward …… more than half a century has passed …… an advanced warships, submarines in succession into service … …Radar technology is also more advanced and more complex to repair, forcing radar workshop repair talents to accelerate growth in the iterative upgrade of equipment. A certain type of radar system is complicated …… to repair and difficult to install the troops occasionally have tricky failures”.
The article claims that the new radar is more advanced, but the failures are still the same old problems. The article also describes, “A key panel on the radar costs a lot …… What if it’s repaired and broken? …… workshop workers withstand the mountain of pressure, the radar antenna as a whole removed, a line ranking, a data comparison, and finally identify the point of failure.” This shows that the problem with the radar is not a minor fault and must be removed from the warship for repair, which is actually equivalent to the warship lying down.
As long as the Chinese Communist warships are out, there must be radar maintenance personnel to follow, at any time to troubleshoot the radar. This is really to the battlefield, once the radar failure, not only can not detect the target, but also can not guide the weapon, can not defend, and can not attack, the radar has not been repaired, is estimated to be sunk first.
On January 14, 2021, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported, “Focus on the needs of actual combat! The warship gallops across the ocean without the silent efforts of these security soldiers”. The article describes, “a comprehensive naval security base in the northern war zone …… covers combat service, mine ordnance, fuel supply, equipment repair, military transport, material supply, health care and many other areas …… ship security tasks More and more heavy, some of the problems that restrict the effectiveness of the guarantee to improve time and again ushered in a good opportunity to crack”.
It seems that the new warships of the Communist Party of China have increased in service, but there have been major problems with the resupply capacity. The mismatch of supply joints is not only a manufacturing problem, but also an overall planning and technical management problem, which also exposes the oversight of many aspects of procurement, design, and acceptance of the CCP military. It is evident that the Chinese Communist Army has not yet formed a technical management of equipment, and many key operational and technical aspects are simply not deployed and considered in advance, and are finally pressed to the grassroots personnel. The problems that should be solved by the technical management system are left to the front-line personnel to figure out on their own. Officers and managers should be busy catering to their superiors and being corrupt, so the army’s ability to fight in the field can be imagined.
