Jiang Urges Attack on Taiwan to Relieve Pressure on Communist Party

On March 14, the 10th National People's Congress of China passed the Anti-Secession Law, which gained the attention of international society. An anonymous source high inside the CCP government disclosed to the Epoch Times reporter details of a meeting between Jiang Zemin and the new preeminent leader Hu Jintao. Jiang advised Hu that attacking Taiwan is a good way to relieve all kinds of issues inside China and maintain the CCP's power. The decision to attack does not depend on whether Taiwan claims it is independent. Prior to his stepping down from the Military Committee, Jiang also set a detailed plan of attacking Taiwan. It is not clear at this point whether Hu Jintao will execute such a strategy.

Hong Kong Sing Pao Daily News quoted insiders on March 13 that Jiang Zemin's advice to Hu Jintao before his resignation as China Military Committee Chairman was that "if we have to attack Taiwan, the earlier the better." It is also reported that the book "Biography of Jiang Zemin," written by American author Robert Kuhn, disclosed that when Chen Shuibian won the Taiwan election in 2000, Jiang Zemin instructed Cao Gangchuang to draft military strategies for attacking Taiwan. Jiang is reported to have said "if we have to take military action, the earlier the better."

Recently a source high in the Communist Party disclosed to the Epoch Times reporter that "Jiang Zemin called a meeting around the 2004 New Year to set up the timeline for attacking Taiwan, the purpose was to resolve conflicts inside China, no matter whether Taiwan announce independence or not. Currently the four biggest issues China faces are the financial crisis, corruption, economic crisis and unemployment. Since former Premier Zhu Rongji stepped down, tariff income on imports into China dropped 30%."

The detailed steps of attacking Taiwan are as follows:

  • 1. Prior to 2008, every policy should center one the Olympics to further arouse Chinese people's patriotism and prepare for attacking Taiwan.
  • 2. Around 2010, reorganize the Party and clean out all the members who are against military action.
  • 3. Around 2012, attack Taiwan and call for an Emergency Act inside China.
  • a. Through the Emergency Act, the CCP could confiscate private property, especially people's savings, to resolve its financial and economic crises
  • b. Eliminate anti-government forces inside China, such as Falun Gong, unofficial churches, human rights activists, advocates for Tibetan independence, advocates for the independence of Xinjian, and intellectuals.
  • c. Arouse Chinese people's patriotism through the Emergency Act in order to resolve the unemployment issue.

The source disclosed that when the CCP recently amended the Constitution protecting private property, the possibility of confiscating private property was left open. When discussing whether to use the term "sacred and inviolable" for rights to private property, as with state-owned properties, the conclusion was to take out the term "sacred."The purpose was to allow the confiscation of private property under the sacred reason of protecting the country if the Emergency Act is called for.

The high level CCP official worried that all these steps means China is closer to fascism. He thinks the passage of Anti-Secession Law will give the right of calling for military actions to the CCP chairman.

The source also disclosed that supporters of such a strategy are second generation CCP leaders such as Buo Yibuo's son Buo Xilai.

Observers believe the reason the CCP turns more strongly towards the Taiwan issue is to relieve the escalating conflicts inside China, calling for people's nationalism to maintain the CCP's power.

China has been moving a lot of troops and equipment towards the south for the last several months.

It's one thing to plan to attack, but when it comes time to act, will the leaders think about the perks that they enjoy, the money, women, vacations, kicking people around on a daily basis..versus Japan, the USA, Taiwan and South Korea bombing their ports, government buildings; destroying thier military infastructure--on and on and on....

This may be a bit of saber rattling....

Re #5

The way they figure it, if they do not act, they will lose their power and their perks anyway. Because of all domestic problems mentioned in the above article.

Is this a personal observation or something that has been in the news? Not a flame, I am just wondering what your statement is based on. I lurk on alot of the Chinese military websites (both real and armchair) and had not seen anything about it.

Yesterday, I was speaking with a few Chinese university "students" who go to school where I live in Malaysia.

The issue of Taiwan came up and I was told that a lot of troops and equipment are being moved now recently. Further that the mood in China is that this is something that cannot continue.

The Chinese it would seem are quite confident that the United States will not go to war over Taiwan.

Cool. That's a legitimate observation and reasoning. My concern is twofold. First, its very clear that the PLA has made tremendous strides in modernization, especially in the field of amphibious operations. The have moved alot of stuff into the Nanjing Military Region (facing Taiwan) which makes it difficult to see any sort of buildup that one would normally associate with preparations for an assault. And secondly, my confidence in Taiwan's ability, and perhaps more importantly, desire to defend itself is steadily decreasing. They still haven't even voted in the LY on the 2001 arms package that W offered.

So, it's a do or die for the Communist leadership? This must be their stratagy: Land several million troops in Taiwan (10-20 million)..expect large casualties, but hope to control the Island in days....the USA and others may bomb and bombast, but by then Mainland controls the Island and we can't do anything about it short of nuclear.....

They may lose 5 million men and a few ports, but they win the war......it might just work...

And with the shortage of women in China (due to the one-child policy and abortion of female babies), they can motivate the troops by promising them that they can keep any Taiwanese women they capture

Float the yuan tomorrow. Use the fiscal crisis to cut the legs out from under Zemin.

What the US needs to understand is that the PLC are pussys on defense.

1. The 2008 Olympic Games will be just like the 1936 Olympic Games. Will they be chronicled by Lumpy Reifenstahl Moore?
2. 2012 confiscation of property and savings - As I thought, "capitalism" in China will be allowed to continue as long as it is convenient to the CCP. And the CCP will choose when to loot it. We may hope that this generates widespread revolt in Mainland China, but remember Tien An Mein (sp?) Square. If a whole city revolts and is no longer under the control of the CCP, it would not surprise me one bit that the CCP would order such a city nuked. Then again if the military does not go along with such a move, they would have to quickly Ceaucescu the CCP leadership. Hard to do when one does not know who the secret policeman is.

b. Eliminate... intellectuals.

At least the people who wrote this "plan" are safe.
