A Chinese general recently offered an alarming assessment that a future conflict with the United States is coming as a result of U.S. “containment” policies.
The release last week of a transcribed speech by People’s Liberation Army (PLA)Maj. Gen. Peng Guangqian revealed the harsh words toward the United States and those in China he regards as muddle-headed peacenik intellectuals.
Gen. Peng, a well-known PLA strategist, has a hawkish reputation and a large following in China. The speech was given in December at an event hosted byXinhua news agency in Beijing. An abbreviated transcript was published June 21 on the Chinese military website Leiting, or Thunder.
“The United States has been exhausting all its resources to establish a strategic containment system specifically targeting China,” Gen. Peng said.”The contradictions between China and the United States are structural, not to be changed by any individual, whether it is G.H.W. Bush, G.W. Bush or Barack Obama, it will not make a difference to these contradictions.”
The general specifically criticized two views prevalent among some analysts in Beijing and Washington that a U.S.-China military conflict will not happen anytime soon because of mutual economic dependency between the two nations. He also attacked the popular view that the U.S.-China relationship can’t be too good but can’t be too bad, either.
Gen. Peng criticized what he sees as an all-out endeavor by the United States to encircle China. “Some people keep saying that we have friends all over the world. But I have used a magnifying glass trying to find some friendly countries on a world map. And I kept looking and looking, but failed to find any except a containment circle around us longer than the Great Wall of China!” Gen. Pengsaid.
“The reason why China does not have an especially strong sense of crisis is that we chant ‘peace and harmony’ everywhere in the world, which was originally intended for the world to hear, but such chanting has left us kidding ourselves and paralyzed. Now no one is willing to think about war,” he said.

Your comment is as close to reality as can be. The question is where
will Russia position herself in this game? Until recently there seemed
no question over this, but certain details being reported in connection
with Putin`s recent visit to Israel allow for doubts. If Putin is getting cold feet and changing sides one can say “may God have mercy on China”. Or might it be that Putin`s moves are nothing but a strategy to confuse the enemies of mankind? Then it would be appropriate to say “may God have mercy on the West”.
Out of all the leader’s in this game, I think Putin is the one to worry about the most. He’s a sly devil, that holds his play close to his chest. Right now he’s running around feeling all the player’s out, then he’ll decide his move. When he does, I don’t think it will be pretty. Any leader trusting him is a fool at best, suicidal at worst. He is a man that doesn’t care who gets in his way, he will see his plans becom reality. Death has no meaning to him, but power does. Definitly a man to beware of.
Any war between the US and China (non nuclear) will have to be in China. Because the Chinese have no ability to project power.
I would hope that the US isn’t stupid enough to play into that.
Fear mongering hogwash.I fear the Obama dictatorship more than I fear China.If anything our leadership will hand the keys to the gate to the enemy.Even with an incompetent,but patriotic leader we could still nuke the Earth into a pile of ashes 30 years ago.
Encircle China?
Ridiculous – I mean some political moron might try it but really now.

I seriously doubt, that US army would manage to establish foothold on china’s land… And even if it would, how will you conquer country as big as china? dont forget that china still posses nukes…
Why is everyone chanting nukes its alot easier and cheaper to use emp’s. Then without tech they would have heck of time fighting someone with tech. Regardless of who uses it, that would be the hand i would play if in charge,plus then ya dont contanimate the ground.
Hey, dude, what do you expect? We’ve got a former community organizer playing President. Rule number one; never send a former community organizer to do a President’s job.
The 80 year cycle of depressions and wars has been repeated 7 times. 80 years ago was only 1932. The big one is still years away. It will be a needless bloodbath. The purpose of the war will be to bankrupt and impoverish the United States, ending our Protestant inspired system.
How many times do we have to hear the open threats of China before we begin to view them as a serious threat to us and an enemy? Stop the importation of ALL Chinese products immediately and stop arming our enemies!! Christ, we go from bumb to dumber around here!!
China is already dumping the soon to be worthless dollar and buying lots, and lots of US real estate and mineral rights. In South Texas they just purchase about 600,000 acres of mineral rights. They will soon replace our zionist masters. chink food anyone?
Uh, Anon 12:48–1932 was 80 years ago. The next one is now…80 years later than 1932 is 2012. What year are you in. SHTF is happening as we speak, but who knows what to really look for and how it will indeed manifest itself.
China will do what is in China’s best interest, they will tell you only what is in their best interest to divulge, and do what is smart. Americans do what is in the best interest of Israel when it is in their own worst interest to do it.
The americans never do the smart thing-they do the thing someone else tells them is the smart thing, when in fact it is stupid beyond belief.
Maybe it is the fluoride and the vaccines that have ruined the american capacity to think for themselves-to think intelligently. They believe, follow and do whatever they are told.
Americans don’t need to worry about China because americans are their own worst enemy, you will destroy yourselves-because you are not smart enough to do what is in your own best interest.
China can just watch and wait for you to fall.
They will destroy you economically-they don’t need weapons of war and a trillion dollar a day debt for war-
You think you do-because you are idiots led by insane lunatics who hate you-jews and jews know you have no ability to think-you just believe everything you are told-especially when it is a bunch of big fat lies aimed at your head like a gun that will blow your brains out.
China is just going to watch you continue to take yourself down and do whatever is in their own best interest after you crash and burn.
America is on a death trip-don’t blame China, thank Israel and the jews.
bring it on! get rid of america, the sooner the better
Well here we go again… (” Gen. Peng, a well-known PLA strategist, has a hawkish reputation and a large following in China. The speech was given in December.”)
This is a story like Radioactive TUNA that was caught last August. Which begs the question.. What about NOW!!!
More Hype. I would wonder if this is just yet another Propaganda warning as the US continues taking out countries as if Spares on a Bowling lane.
I wish out of all the FILTH, GAY POLITICIAN’S MURDEROUS Military who killed a Million for Lies and oil in Iraq could find something GOOD to write about. Everything is DOOM AND BOOM. I can’t help but wish a Rock would hit this planet to excise man from the face of it. A Cockroach has a better life.

Fear mongering hogwash? The source of the information was from the Washington Times, not some Chicken Little’s bedroom blog. Although mainstream news cherry-picks information to create a narrative, what they do pick is usually able to be validated.

@Maj.WilliamMartin
It’s laughable that you tie in the “gay” element into the situation. I don’t know what your obsession is there… It’s a Politician’s murderous military, gay and straight. Always has been.
i,s just say too us, give us our money now?
It is true that China, Russian, Iran, et al, appear to be the confederacy of Ezekiel 38-39, but these chapters describe horseback and weapons of wood.
What about the burden of Damascus (Syria, Isa 17), which has seen so much strife with conventional arms, is still one of the world’s oldest cities, yet would be no more, in only one night.
Does mutual disarmament occur after this spectacle? Then, does a false messiah figure temporarily spare a beleaguered planet from the spectacle of war.
Unfortunately the US has such great hubris that it constantly over reaches and gets smacked down. Another one of those teaching moments may soon be upon us.
The government of the USA is bloated, incompetent, and ineffective. The Chinese would likely whip our butts if even the USA could find enough people even willing to fight to support our current government. What would it matter if we continued to be plundered and controlled by these thugs in Washington, DC or new thugs from China took over; we are screwed in either case.
@se777en They gay issue? Your glorious leader continues to degrade this country in the station of MORALS that none other has done.
Why don’t you sit down and watch his 2008 Campaign Promises and then compare that to what he has actually DONE!
For nearly 4 years it has been and continues to be 1 Lie after another. Lie Lie Lie. The only ones who have benefited are those on the other side of D.A.D.T. and gay marriage. While seeking to establish their “Rights” he in fact has destroyed the rights of others. Namely those who believe in God’s Word. (1 Cor: 6:9-11)
Though I am not one to judge but GOD IS.
This who comes from a man who Bombs (Alleged Militants) who used to be called Collateral Damage i.e. Civilian’s. Then bombing Emergency Aid workers, Funeral’s and so forth as to HIM the entire Middle East is Militant.
While the US talks about Regime Change in the name of Human Rights, I guess they forgot about the Viet Nam war which was also a lie in which nearly 3 Million Asian’s were slaughtered. Children Napalmed in Villages. As in Iraq since 1995 that 5.6 Million Iraqi’s have paid that price too. American’s in the quest for Imperialism has become worse then Hitler who also sought power.
This as many know is also a “Proxy War(s)” for Israel who continues in error of UN Resolutions against the People of Palestine where they daily are killed by US Weapons and Bulldozers plow their homes down.
Our said Television Media is full of ungodly sitcom’s that glorify Sin and Sex in anyway they can. Then other show actually show the GREED one is supposed to acquire at any cost. Many live in a Soap-Opera lifestyle that shows utter contempt for God or what his Son did for US as Mankind.
Like the Scriptures say, These conditions will advance from bad to worse. Yet all will hear the Warning and then the end shall come. As noted, Many will say, Lord Lord did I not do this or that and Christ will say.. Get away from me you workers of lawlessness.
Personally I await as the Bowl’s are poured out and the 4 horseman ride. You can trust all you want of men But I’ll trust in my God.
As mentioned above (Putin is Evil) is yet another Lie. If you read where it is HE that calls for peace and for the US to stay out of the affairs of other countries. Which the US has for years aided and abetted in their governments and then when no longer needed they suddenly become evil dictators and need to be removed. Review Iran’s History and the CIA and see how this is multiplied all over the many nations of this world. Then understand also why YOUR TAX DOLLARS by off Israel’s Enemies so that they too don’t attack them. And who in the world Owns the Bank’s, Insurance Companies and Media and Networks. United States dances as a Puppet for Israel as they pull the strings.
Oh. I understand now. You’re a someone who believes in an archaic story that has been distorted and contorted over time where most of the original texts about Jesus were eliminated by Roman Emperor Constantine and the remaining ones were cherry-picked in order to use it as an opportunity to unify Rome under a single god, to solve the problem of the polytheistic regional rivalry, with the end result of having a perverse set of morals where hate is justified if it protects the ideology, and love is only acceptable if it fits within the confines of that ideology.
A story people used throughout history as justification to treat all kinds of people, left-handed people for example, as subhuman and evil. A story people used as justification for slavery, and people used to stir outrage over interracial marriage in the 1960s, and now gay marriage.
A story filled with dogma and outdated rituals. Most people cherry-pick about 10% out of the bible to really care about, enforce, or get loud about, and pretend the rest doesn’t matter.
There’s more murder in the bible than you’ll find in most current violent movies. If your reasoning behind your morals is because it came from a book, then you’re just a pawn being controlled by people in power. My morals have been developed from experiencing life with an open mind and actually thinking, evaluating them. And over time I will repeatedly reevaluate them. I’m not saying there isn’t some truth to the bible, but it has been greatly distorted to be a tool of control.
