The following is a MUST READ article from Chinese-American Frank Li, a businessman, engineer and established political analyst-writer who’s been called “a modern-day Thomas Jefferson” according to a brief Amazon books bio. Among his writing are two books “Saving America, Chinese Style” and “The GOP Bible for 2016”. The latter book, from its cover, appears to advice the Grand Old Party or the Republic Party Li advises to reject Democratic Socialism as well as Democratic Imperialism and offer “full blown capitalism with affordable democracy” – whatever that means. We still have to save up the $ 10 plus freight for it, if at all.
Mr. Frank Li’s article below narrates a conversation between two hawks, one American and the other Chinese. After reading it one should be able to imagine what will happen to the Philippines to a hundred million Filipinos as a major conflict starts between the two nuclear powers. The Philippines has been led right up to becoming the U.S.’s first cannon fodder with the imminent approval of the EDCA (Enhanced Defence Cooperation Agreement) by the Philippine Supreme Court and, after horse-trading with the U.S. by the Philippine Senate. It’s up to the Filipino people to realize that there’s no escaping obliteration if we all, together, don’t help one another to stop the U.S. provocations.

Don't Mess with Nuclear-Armed China!
Written by Frank Li
11 November 2015
In response to the recent U.S. hostility (e.g. Ukraine), Russian President Putin famously said: Vladimir Putin: Don’t mess with nuclear-armed Russia. No Chinese leader has publicly taken a similar position, yet, despite the recent U.S. provocative actions (U.S. warship sails close to Chinese artificial island on South China Sea). But as a Chinese-American, I must warn my fellow Americans now: don’t mess with nuclear-armed China!
1. South China Sea
Simply
put, China’s actions (e.g. building on uninhabited islands) are
questionable, but America’s actions (e.g. sending warships there) are
utterly provocative!
Here is an excerpt from a recent news story (South China Sea: Beijing 'not frightened' to fight a war after US move):
China is not afraid of fighting a war against the United States in the South China Sea, a state-run newspaper with links to the Communist party has claimed.
Is there any truth to China's "not afraid" claim? Yes - Perhaps they are that foolish!
2. A rumored conversation between China and America
I
was in China October 16-26, during which I heard a rumored conversation
between a hawkish Chinese general and a hawkish American general as
follows:
Chinese General (CG): If your ship comes all the way to the South China Sea to challenge us, we would respond.
American General (AG): How?
CG: If your ship comes into our waters, we will sink it.
AG: If you fire at our ship, we will destroy your entire Navy. Don't you think we can do that?
CG:
Yes, you can! But we will then launch missiles to wipe out all your
military bases in Asia and sink all your aircraft carriers in the
Pacific Ocean. Don't you think we can do that?
AG: Um ...
CG: I take that as "Yes". What would you do then? Nuke us?
AG: Well, we may ...
CG:
Well, you may have enough nuclear war-heads to blow up the earth
several times over, but we have enough to blow America up several times
over! We think that's a good enough deterrent - Don't you agree?
If
this rumored conversation were real, would it make sense to you? If
yes, why should America go all the way to the South China Sea to play
with fire? It’s MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)! For more, read: Weapons of Mass Destruction.
3. Discussion
Can America really afford to have a direct military conflict with China or Russia (U.S. jets intercept Russian planes near aircraft carrier), or worse, with both at the same time? No! For more, read: Three New Kingdoms. Yet, that's exactly what we are driving to - We sanctioned Russia on Ukraine (A Pseudo Conversation between President Obama and Ukraine PM)
and we are provoking China in the South China Sea, without real
American interests directly involved whatsoever! Because of that, we do
not seem to know what we are doing in the South China Sea! Here is an
informative reading: Washington’s Muddled Message in the South China Sea.
More
profoundly, why is America’s foreign policy, from the Middle East to
Ukraine and to the South China Sea, so poorly thought out and
self-destructive? Blame democracy, as we practice it today! Three
informative readings:
The
simple truth is that despite America's strong self-assurances, we have
not truly been the only super-power on earth since 1991, when the Cold
War ended! Two points:
Militarily, Russia has been just as powerful and dangerous as the USSR was throughout the Cold War. For more, read: Russia Now Has More Deployed Nuclear Warheads than the U.S.
Economically,
China has been dramatically advancing over the past few decades, and is
well on her way to unseating us as the largest economy on earth by
2030, with no end in sight.
Beyond Russia and China, do we not already have enough international problems, from ISIS to the Guantanamo Bay detention camp?
Is the South China Sea really a matter of national security for
America? Will this be another failure in America’s containment strategy
against China as in the case of the AIIB (For America, AIIB and Ukraine Are Related!)? A bluff is a dangerous tactic, if it comes to actually fulfilling it!
The recently strengthened Russia-China alliance will prove to be a nightmare for America (America vs. the World), but America, in her arrogance, seems blissfully unaware of it!
4. A simple analogy
Here
is a simple analogy for my fellow Americans: treating the “disputed”
islands in the South China Sea together as Crimea, and expecting China’s
position similar to Russia’s, accordingly. Our response should
therefore be accordingly, too - nothing! Why? Because anything more than
nothing would be MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)!
In
short, do not interfere in the South China Sea! Instead, let the
affected people work out their differences, over time, in their own way.
Two recent news stories:
5. Closing
America, don't mess with nuclear-armed China (or Russia)! Instead, learn to peacefully co-exist!
Let
me conclude the article, as I began, with President Putin – Watch the
video below. It is safe to assume that the Chinese leaders think along
the same line as President Putin does, although none of them has yet to
say anything like that in public …
