China threatens to nuke America

'First wage 'Vietnam'-like conflict, then bomb U.S., says PLA document

A recently-declassified Chinese military document states communist China will first conduct a "Vietnam"-like conventional war against American forces, and then eventually fight a nuclear war against the U.S. homeland.

The document, recently translated by an American intelligence agency, was sent by the Chinese army central command to all the regional garrisons and army corps headquarters in China. A copy was obtained by WorldNetDaily for this exclusive report.

According to the August 1999 policy document published by the People's Liberation Army Office of the Central Military Command, China is "willing to sustain major losses of our armed forces" in exchange for large losses of U.S. military personnel. The Central Military Command is the party command structure of the People's Liberation Army -- that is, the people who make policy for the Chinese military.

"If the U.S. forces lose thousands or hundreds of men under our powerful strikes, the anti-war sentiment within their country will force the U.S. government to take the same path as they did in Viet Nam," states the Chinese army document.

Titled "Watching Closely for Changes in Relationships with Taiwan and Enhancing Awareness of Military Leadership of Current Situation," the Chinese army strategy document also describes a chilling scenario of nuclear war with America.

"In comparison with the U.S. nuclear arsenal, our disadvantage is mainly numeric, which in real wars the qualitative gap will be reflected only as different requirement of strategic theory. In terms of deterrence, there is not any difference in practical value.

So far we have built up the capability for the second and third nuclear strikes and are fairly confident in fighting a nuclear war. The PCC (Communist Party Central Committee) has decided to pass through formal channels this message to the top leaders in the U.S."

The Chinese army command document also noted that recent U.S. combat experience cannot be compared to a future war with the massive People's Liberation Army. China is capable of massing millions of troops, and has over 5,000 aircraft that can be thrown into a battle over Taiwan. In addition, the Chinese military noted it had a clear edge in fighting a tactical nuclear war with American forces in the Pacific region.

"In terms of air defense," noted the Chinese army document, "it is impossible for the U.S. Air Force to enjoy the kind of dominance which they maintained in Iraq or Yugoslavia."

"It can be safely expected that once the U.S. launches an attack, the front line of U.S. forces and their supporting bases will be exposed within the range of our effective strikes. After the first strategic strike, the U.S. forces will be faced with weaponry and logistic problems, providing us with opportunities for major offensives and win large battles."

According to the Chinese military, "Unlike Iraq and Yugoslavia, China is not only a big country, but also possesses a nuclear arsenal that has long since been incorporated into state warfare system and play a real role in our national defense."

"During the last crisis across the Taiwan Straits, the U.S. tried to blackmail us with their aircraft carrier(s), but when their spy satellites confirmed that our four nuclear submarines which used to be stationed at Lushun Harbor had disappeared, those politicians addicted to the Taiwan card could not imagine how worried their military commander were."

The Chinese military command also outlined its plan for a quick victory by using overwhelming numbers in a massive assault against Taiwan.

"Taiwan occupies only a small area. Although the quality of its equipment is not too bad, its quantity is limited. It is obvious that after the first fatal strike, the Taiwan forces have no way to organize effective resistance.

Under such circumstances, we will be able to control Taiwan before the U.S. intervention and then concentrate our forces to fight the U.S.

Based on this scenario, it is impossible for the U.S. to force us to fight on two fronts when it tries to protect Taiwan."

The Chinese army document also noted that the Chinese diplomatic attack has started in the "war" with America. According to the military, recent Chinese diplomatic efforts successfully lined up a solid wall of support from the other Asian powers, allowing the Chinese army to move forces south in preparation for an invasion of Taiwan.

"Internationally, President Jiang Zemin will go to Biskek in late September to attend the five-country meeting, including China, Russia, Kyrgzstan, Kazakstan and Tajikstan. The meeting will sum up and expand cooperations in the field of security and reach agreements on reduction of armed forces stationed along the borders and establishment of military trust."

"The above efforts will not only eliminate security concerns along our rear by reducing the traditional pressure along our northeast and northwest border, and increase the proportion of forces which can be moved to the southeast coastal regions, but also serve to ensure our exchanges with the outside world by land routes during the war."
