**** Wuhan Coronavirus -- Thinking the Unthinkable
****


Li-Meng Yan, the virologist who fled from China to the United States, after she told how the virus came out of China

I've always been skeptical of the most extreme explanations of the
spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus (Covid-19). For a long time, I was
willing to accept the explanation that it jumped to humans from an
animal in a so-called "wet market" or, if it came from the Wuhan
Virology Lab, that it escaped from the lab accidentally, for example
by accidentally infecting one of the lab workers. The last
possibility has been supported by numerous reports of sloppy security
practices at the lab.

In particular, I've never believed that the Chinese Communists
purposely unleashed the virus on the world. Whatever happened, I've
always felt, must have been mostly caused by accidents, stupidity and
incompetence. I've frequently criticized the Chinese Communists for
policies that were extremely stupid, but surely the Chinese Communist
Party (CCP), as stupid as they are, would not be so stupid as to
purposely spread a novel virus across the world.

My opinion has changed 180 degrees. I now believe that the CCP is
easily stupid enough to have purposely spread the virus across the
world. In fact, I now believe that's exactly what happened.

****
**** The Secret Speech of General Chi Haotian (2003)
****

What's changed my mind is a document from 2003, The Secret Speech of General Chi Haotian (2003).

General Chi Haotian was born in 1929, and was one of the last hardline
military men that led Mao Zedong's army to victory, forming the
People's Republic of China in 1949. If you'dlike to compare him to an
American general, then select a hardline general who was born in the
1920s.

The 2003 document is a large, complex strategy document, describing
how China would defeat America diplomatically and militarily. It was
written 18 years ago, almost the length of an entire generation.
Chi's hardline war survivor generation is now gone, replaced by
younger generations who may not agree with everything that Chi says.

But as I analyzed this document, it was clear to me that this document
is not out of date, except in a few irrelevant details. The plans and
motivations of the Chinese Communists, and the methods for achieving
their objectives, have not changed substantively since 2003.

I had wanted to provide a summary of the main points, but this
document is so large and complex that a summary would be almost as
long as the original document. So I'll just provide a narrative of
points most relevant to this article, and suggest that you read Chi's
entire speech for yourself.

So the following sections contain some of the main points of Chi's
speech. As you read them, you'll think that they're highly
delusional, to the point of insanity, and I agree. But they're also
the policies of the entire CCP, which have frequently been shown to be
delusional to the point of insanity. It's also worth pointing out
that these policies and views are not new. They're deeply embedded in
Chinese culture, dating back millennia to the Analects of Confucius
(551-479 BC) and The Art of War (500 BC) by Sun Tzu.

****
**** The uniqueness of Chinese DNA
****

The core belief of Chi Haotian, the CCP, and the entire Chinese
culture is that the Chinese people are a unique race, superior to all
other races. I've sometimes described this as believing that all
other races have no other purpose than to serve the Chinese, in the
same way that a donkey has no other purpose than to serve a farmer.
I've been using that analogy for years, and I'm not aware of any
example of Chinese behavior that contradicts the donkey analogy. This
is the Chinese culture. This is how the Chinese think of us, and this
is how it has been for millennia.

Chi Haotian carries this to the next level by claiming that Chinese
DNA is so unique that the Chinese people did not originate in Africa
like everyone else. Chi repeats a claim, based on archaelogical
discoveries of "Peking Man" in the 1920s, that the Chinese people
evolved completely independently of the other races on earth. This
claim was debunked by Chinese scholars in the 1980s, but was still
believed by Chi, and is probably still believed by many in the CCP.

Chi is describing the strategy for "the great revitalization of the
Chinese nation," which, of course, "is not limited to the land we have
now but also includes the whole world." Chi claims that the Chinese
nation would not exist without the Communist Party. The Communist
Party must exist for this great revitalization of the Chinese nation.

Chi sees the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre as an existential crisis
for the Communist Party. If a reformist faction (led by Zhao Ziyang)
had succeeded in resolving the riots peacefully, then there would have
been a "peaceful transition," ending the power of the Communist Party.
Fortunately (he believes), Zhao Ziyang was removed at a crucial
movement, and the 1989 riots were crushed.

Chi sees this as a generational issue. He says that Communism ended
in the Soviet Union when the "pioneering senior comrades" (i.e., the
generals who had served in WW II) passed away, Gorbachev came along,
and the power of the Communist Party was taken away by peaceful
evolution. This peaceful transition must not happen to the Chinese
Communist Party!!! "If we, the CCP, are finished, China will be
finished, and the world will be finished."

****
**** Justifying the insanity of the Chinese Communists
****

This is the justification for all the insanity. It's not to improve
China's economy. It's not to defend China from a war. It's not even
to prevent an internal civil war. The justification for all the
insanity is to prevent a peaceful transition in China that ends the
power of the Communist Party. And this is breathtakingly insane, but
we can see the consequences.

So, for example, every religion must be brutally crushed. Here is the
justification:

<QUOTE>"Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently
decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the
West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all
Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently
listen to us and follow us? If the common people don’t believe
Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader, question his authority,
and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in our society
question why we are leaving God in churches, can our Party
continue to rule China?"<END QUOTE>

So that's why any religious worship is an existential threat to
Communism. That's the justification for brutally crushing Buddhists
and Christians, and for beating, raping, torturing, and enslaving two
million Muslim Uighurs. Praying to God is like declaring war on the
Communist Party.

And I want to emphasize the insanity of this. In America or any other
country, religious prayer exists alongside the government without a
conflict. But in China, "listening to God and following God" is an
existential threat to the Communist Party, because the Communist
leaders' authority will be questioned, and they will lose their power.
I don't know what this looks like to you, Dear Reader, but to me it
looks like total madness.

****
**** The need for more living space
****

Chi Haotian complains bitterly that China has the world's largest
population, including Chinese in China and overseas, but too little
per-capita living space for Chinese people.

According to Chi: "China’s great economic expansion will inevitably
come with significant development in our military forces, creating
conditions for our expansion overseas."

In 2003, China was about 20 years into the "One Child Policy," that
caused the government to kill children and forcibly abort women when a
family might have more than one child. Chi does not mention the One
Child Policy, but I can well believe that he hates it, and sees it as
an additional reason for expansion overseas.

Colonization of foreign lands is a crucial part of Chi's strategy for
the revitalization of the Chinese nation, and Chi looks to the
experience of Hitler and the Nazis for lessons on how to proceed.

****
**** Learning lessons from Hitler and Nazi Germany
****

In America and the West, we generally think of Hitler and the Nazis as
a uniquely evil world development that will never happen again.
However, that's not how the Chinese view him. In my book, "War
between China and Japan," I mentioned that Chiang Kai-shek admired
Hitler, but I didn't carry it farther.

But Chi Haotian and the CCP do not consider Hitler and the Nazis to be
a uniquely evil development. They admire Hitler and his attempt to
rule the world, and want to learn lessons from his "humiliating"
defeat so that the Chinese Communists won't repeat them.

Chi says, "Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because,
fundamentally, our race is superior to theirs." An important
difference between the German Nazis and the Chinese Communists is that
"we are complete atheists, while Germany was primarily a Catholic and
Protestant country. ... Although Hitler also believed that ordinary
citizens had low intelligence, and that leaders should therefore make
decisions, and although German people worshipped Hitler back then,
Germany did not have the tradition of worshipping sages on a broad
basis."

So that's why Hitler made mistakes, and why there are three lessons
that the CCP must learn from Hitler's failure.

• First lesson: The West has much nicer living space than we
  have because we have so many Chinese people crammed into a small
  space, which is why we need to colonize other lands.
  
  
• Second lesson: Focus on the leadership capacity of the ruling
  party. Although the Nazis spread their power to every aspect of the
  German national government, they did not stress their absolute
  leadership position like we have. They did not take the issue of
  managing the power of the party as first priority, which we have.
  
  
• Third lesson: The big "Issue of America." The renaissance of
  China is in fundamental conflict with the West, and so Chinese
  colonization of other lands will be blocked by America and the
  West.

Chi explains the Issue of America as follows:

<QUOTE>"Would the United States allow us to go out to gain
new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking
us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan,
Vietnam, India, or even Japan, [so] how much more living space can
we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States,
Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass
colonization. Therefore, solving the “issue of America” is the
key to solving all other issues."<END QUOTE>

This explains a lot of things for me, things that I've described as
insanity in the past.

First, it explains the obsession with Taiwan. Yes of course the
Chinese may legitimately wish Taiwan to be part of China, but what's
insane is that the CCP is willing to pursue total war to make Taiwan a
province of China. Britain gave up the entire British Empire without
going to war to keep each colony. Going to war for that reason can
legitimately be called insane.

In August 2006, I transcribed a BBC interview with Sha Zukang, China's
ambassador to the United Nations. What was remarkable was that the
ambassador was screaming angrily at the top of his lungs. He was
asked about Taiwan's independence, and he screamed as follows:

<QUOTE>"The moment that Taiwan declares independence,
supported by whomever, China will have no choice but to [use]
whatever means available to my government. Nobody should have any
illusions on that. ...

It's not a matter of how big Taiwan is, but for China, one INCH of
the territory is more valuable than the LIVES of our people."

[With regard to the U.S.'s constant criticism of China's rapid
militarization:] It's better for the U.S. to shut up, keep quiet.
That's much, much better. China's population is 6 times or 5
times the United States. Why blame China? No. forget it. It's
high time to shut up. It's a nation's sovereign right to do what
is good for them. But don't tell us what's good for China. Thank
you very much."<END QUOTE>

This followed a 2005 warning given by top-level Chinese army officer
General Zhu Chenghu if America interfered with Taiwan: "If the
Americans are determined to interfere [then] we will be determined to
respond. We ... will prepare ourselves for the destruction of all of
the cities east of Xian [a city in central China]. Of course the
Americans will have to be prepared that hundreds ... of cities will be
destroyed by the Chinese."

And that's not all. China has 21 active border disputes with
neighboring countries. Once again, Dear Reader, I call that insanity.
But it's become a Chinese Communist obsession to colonize other lands,
and not give up even one inch of land.

This gets to the heart of Chi Haotian's "Issue of America." Chi said
that America will block any attempt by China to colonize Taiwan,
Vietnam, India or Japan. Therefore, America must be defeated.

According to Chi, the reason that Chinese talk loudly about the
"Taiwan issue" is that they want to hide their real objective, the
"American issue."

****
**** Using biological weapons to 'clean up' America
****

Chi says that once America is conquered, it will be necessary
to use biological weapons to "clean up" America:

<QUOTE>"To resolve the issue of America we must be able to
transcend conventions and restrictions. In history, when a country
defeated another country or occupied another country, it could not
kill all the people in the conquered land because back then you
could not kill people effectively with sabers or long spears, or
even with rifles or machine guns. Therefore, it was impossible to
gain a stretch of land without keeping the people on that
land. However, if we conquered America in this fashion, we would
not be able to make many people migrate there.

Only by using special means to “clean up” America will we be able
to lead the Chinese people there. This is the only choice left for
us. This is not a matter of whether we are willing to do it or
not. What kind of special means is there available for us to
“clean up America”? ...

Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people
will we be able to reserve America for ourselves. There has been
rapid development of modern biological technology, and new
bio-weapons have been invented one after another. Of course, we
have not been idle, in the past years we have seized the
opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of
achieving our purpose of “cleaning up” America all of a
sudden."<END QUOTE>

So Chi Haotian concludes that the way to solve the "Issue of America"
is to conquer America, and then "clean up America" by unleashing
biological weapons.

Chi doesn't say how America would be conquered, but today's CCP has
been stockpiling nuclear weapons and building silos, implying that
they plan a massive nuclear missile attack where military targets and
American cities are all fired upon at the same time, to knock out
America quickly.

****
**** Spreading Covid-19 as a 'beta test' of biological weapons
****

Having completed my analysis of Chi Haotian's 2003 speech, you can see
why I've done a U-turn, and I now believe that China's release of
Covid-19 on the entire world was intentional, and was actually a kind
of "beta test" for a full bio-chemical attack in the future.

Here's what we know:

• Once the virus started spreading in Wuhan in 2019, China
  clamped down on any attempt to report it. Some doctors were jailed
  simply for telling other people.
  
  
• For a period of several weeks in Dec-Jan, China was purposely
  spreading the virus to 180 nations around the world, while preventing
  its spread within China. China was lying about its transmissibility,
  and was able to coerce their puppets at the World Health Organization
  (WHO) to support their lies. China also sent people around the world
  to purchase gowns and masks and any other materials (personal
  protective equipment or PPE) that could be used by medical
  personnel.
  
  
• China has used economic boycotts to punish Australia and any other
  country or organization calling for an investigation into the Wuhan
  Lab. China is still blocking any investigation into the Wuhan
  Lab.

For me, the logic is as follows: So many of the things that the CCP
has done for years that I consider insane are explained by Chi
Haotian's 2003 speech, and if I were to try to devise a way to "beta
test" using a biological weapon in the world, I would probably have
done it the way the CCP spread Covid-19 around the world.

If you take a virus and turn it into a bioweapon, the type of research
is named "gain-of-function." The enhanced virus may be more lethal,
may spread more easily, or may target only certain kinds of entities.
For example, in 2000 Dutch researchers genetically engineered the
spike protein of a mouse coronavirus so that it would attack only
cats, but not rodents.

The nightmare scenario for the world is that Chinese scientists might
similarly engineer a virus that attacks all humans, excluding all
those with Chinese DNA. This would be entirely expected from
Chi Haotian's glorification of the unique Chinese DNA.

However, if this was some kind of "beta test," then many lessons
have been learned all around. Scientists and politicians in the
United States have learned a lot about handling virus outbreaks, and
those lessons would be applied to a biological weapon.

A lesson that the Chinese may be learning is that viruses can mutate
when they're out in the wild. As I'm writing this article, hundreds
of people in China are suddenly being infected by a "delta variation"
of the virus that they infected the world with. That's the danger of
using a bioweapon -- you can't be sure that it won't turn against you,
once you lose control of it.
