**** Evolution of this book
****

For over 15 years, I've been writing about China's preparations for
war with the United States, particularly building and deploying one
advanced nuclear-capable ballistic missile system after another with
no purpose other than to attack and destroy American cities, aircraft
carriers and bases, as well as massive cyberwar. So there's never
been any doubt that China is planning to launch a war against the
United States.

However, I was never entirely comfortable with that prediction, since
there's no apparent hatred of Americans by the Chinese. I've
personally known many Chinese during my life, and they were always
friendly unlike, for example, some Mexicans. Furthermore, Chinese
media has always been critical of US political policies, but there was
no hatred directed at the American people the way there is, for
example, against the Japanese people. In other words, I knew that
China was going to launch a war with the US, but I really didn't know
why.

As a result of research on my book, late last year I had a major
change in views. China does not want war against the United States,
but does want a war of revenge against Japan for the atrocities
committed during WW II. China also wants to invade Taiwan, in order
annex it. China does not want war with the US, but the CCP knows that
it will have no choice, since the US will defend Japan and Taiwan
against China's war of extermination against Japan and war of
annexation against Taiwan.

There's even an alternate explanation for all those missile systems
that China has been developing and deploying for decades. It's
possible that the Chinese believe that just having those missile
systems will serve as a threat to deter the US and to force the US to
remain neutral when China invades Japan and Taiwan. If this is what
the CCP hopes, then it's entirely delusional.

Although I've changed my views about China's motives, the bottom line
is still the same. China has developed these massive nuclear-capable
missile deployments because China expects to use them to attack
the US, and they will. It's just that the motives are different
than I said prreviously.

**** Three objectives
****

When I started writing this book, it was to be a book about China's
claims to the South China Sea. I was going to find out who was right,
and who was spinning fake news.

So I researched all of China's history going back thousands of years
and multiple dynasties, as well as the histories of China's
religions -- Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Islam,
Protestantism, and Falun Gong.

I discovered that China had no claim at all to the South China Sea. I
mean, it isn't even arguable. China's claim to Taiwan, whether valid
or not, is at least arguable. But the claim to the South China Sea
isn't even arguable. It is completely nonexistent. It is a complete
hoax.

This means that China's activities in the South China Sea are
criminal, as the Chinese themselves realize. The Chinese know this.
That's why China's president Xi Jinping on September 25, 2015,
blatantly lied to the face of Barack Obama during a joint press
conference on the White House lawn about China's intentions, just as
Adolf Hitler lied to Neville Chamberlain in 1938 about "Peace in our
time." Xi said that there were no plans to militarize the South China
Sea, even though they were actively militarizing it. In July 2016,
the United Nations Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague issued
a ruling that all China's activities were illegal, reaffirming their
criminal nature.

China blames this and other criminal activities on its "Unequal
Treaties" and its "Century of Humiliation." All of that research from
the first objective is included in this book.

So that evolved to become the second objective of this book. I wanted
to focus on China's history since the 1840 Opium Wars in order to
determine exactly how the unequal treaties occurred, how China was
humiliated over the period of a century, and by whom, and how that led
to China's behavior today.

So I discovered that there were indeed "unequal treaties," especially
the 1860 Treaty of Tianjin and the 1915 Twenty-One Demands that gave
concessions to foreign powers in a way that was humiliating to China.
I followed this history through the late 1800s to the Republican
Revolution of 1911, through World War I and the Versailles betrayal,
into the rise of communism, and then the brutal Sino-Japanese war
(1937-45), in which the Japanese committed brutal atrocities, and in
which the United States saved China from a humiliating defeat.

I also followed China's history after WW II -- the Great Leap Forward
and the Cultural Revolution that killed tens of millions of Chinese
through government-forced starvation, executions, and rioting. Then
there was the bloody Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989, where
thousands of peacefully protesting college students were mercilessly
slaughtered by China's military.

So the second objective of the book was achieved, and I had researched
the causes of China's claims to Unequal Treaties and a Century of
Humiliation. All of that research from the second objective is also
included in this book.

However, I began to see the results of the second objective of the
book -- that most of the humiliation was caused by China's own faults.

And that led me to an important and obvious question that I've never
seen discussed anywhere. The West tried to impose the same Unequal
Treaties on Japan as on China. Why didn't Japan also suffer a
"Century of Humiliation"?

That led to the third objective of this book -- to compare Japan
and China. The research from that objective is also included in this
book.

What I discovered is that Japan has repeatedly and consistently
bested China in all areas -- economically, diplomatically, militarily,
and in governance. The bottom line appears to be the fact that
the reason that China suffered a "Century of Humiliation" is because
they were inferior to Japan, time after time.

This is not because the Chinese people are inferior. In fact, the
same Chinese people in Taiwan and colonial Hong Kong have also beaten
the Chinese people in China, by a factor of ten. It's the Chinese
government that's inferior to the governments of Japan, Taiwan and
South Korea. The great and brilliant Chinese people are being led by
corrupt idiots in the CCP.

In fact, it's been a lot worse than that for China. Since World War
II ended, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong all had "economic
miracles," while China's economy languished for decades. Mao's Great
Leap Forward was supposed to prove that Marxism, Communism and
Socialism are better than anything else, but instead it was a total
disaster, causing the deaths of tens of millions through starvation
and execution.

After Mao's disaster totally discredited Marxism, Socialism
and Communism, once Mao died in 1976, Deng Xiaoping was able to
institute an "Opening up and reform" policy that completely reversed
Socialism and opened up China to free markets and capitalism. They
started using the phrase "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics,"
which is laughable because it means "Socialism that's really
capitalism, but we don't want to call it that." However, China
retained its governmental dictatorship, and "Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics" is really the same as Adolf Hitler's "National
Socialism."

So today we have Xi Jinping, a "dictator for life" like Hitler, leader
of a "master race" like Hitler, committing genocide like Hitler,
illegally annexing regions like Hitler, and preparing to launch a
world war like Hitler.
