CCP Advisor Talks About Winning the “Biological War”, Military Demonstrations in Japan & Unrestricted Warfare in Taiwan 

Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.  

Today I will talk about three topics, all very important. 1) About a top CCP professor’s shocking admission that China won the “biological warfare” in 2020. 2) About a series of Taiwan’s unexpected emergent situations, and whether the CCP is waging  “unrestricted warfare” against Taiwan; 3) About Japan, Europe and the US’s joint effort to tackle the CCP’s threat. So please make sure you stick around till the end. 

CCP Top Advisor: China Won “Biological Warfare” 

First, let’s watch a top CCP professor’s astonishing statement about China having won the “biological warfare” in 2020. Please make sure you read the English subtitles as he is speaking Chinese. 

OK, that’s basically a startling admission that the CCP virus, or COVID19 pandemic, is biological warfare, and China won that warfare in 2020.

And what is the significance for the CCP to win that warfare? Let’s watch another clip, in which this professor presents his big post-2020, or post biological warfare vision for the CCP and the world.

Did you notice? When he mentioned the CCP virus, he said “our COVID19 pandemic”, as if the CCP owns this pandemic, or is the master of this pandemic.

Let’s read the screenshot of the translation of his most important message together again:

So the title is: 

“What does the year 2020 signify?”

The message is:  

The year 2020 will witness the turning point of modernization in the past five hundred years. Five hundred years ago, the Western sea power countries started the modernization led by the physical and chemical revolutions; after 2020, the land power countries in East Asia will start the modernization led by the biological revolution. A moderately prosperous society developed by Chinese civilization is a sustainable green economy for the earth’s ecology.”

The above two clips are all from a 20 minute speech uploaded on Jan 2, 2021 to China’s own version of YouTube Bilibili. Although he didn’t say that China launched a biological war against the US and the world, the fact that he repeatedly used the term biological war, or people’s biological war, makes the viewers think that subconsciously, he believes the pandemic is a biological war, and the CCP won this war as it is “our COVID19 pandemic”. And this pandemic has given the CCP a once in every 500 year opportunity to become the next No. 1 superpower of the world.

By the way, Chen Ping is a professor emeritus at Beijing University, China’s most prestigious university-by the way, Beijing University is also where I studied. I graduated from there with a Master of Science degree.   

As a professor at Beijing University, Chen Ping had proximity to China’s ruling communists. He is now a senior researcher at Fudan University, also a highly prestigious University, which is in China’s economic capital, Shanghai.  He is “Chair of the Academic Committee, Center for New Political Economy.”  This puts him at the heart of strategic thinking in China about how to deal with the United States. 

He actually gained his PHD in Physics at the University of Texas, Austin in the 1980s.

Did you notice his ending statement?  “If you know your enemy and yourself, you will be able to dominate the world.”

OK, that’s the video I dug out and translated. I don’t know how much more evidence we need to wake the people in the world who are still thinking that the CCP can be tamed, or can become a healthy part of our world.

Now, let’s move to our next topic: Taiwan. 

A Sudden Surge of CCP Virus Cases

After experiencing accelerating tensions and threats from the CCP for months, Taiwan is now troubled with more unexpected emergent situations. While one commentator in Hong Kong said that the public in Taiwan should watch out for unrestricted warfare waged by the CCP, another former Taiwanese congressional assistant thinks Taiwan is winning. 

After being looked up as a role model for its CCP virus (COVID-19) pandemic control, Taiwan suddenly experienced a surge of local cases. 

As of today (May 21) , there have been 3139 confirmed cases and 15 deaths. 335 new cases were reported on May 17, setting a new record. 

Taiwanese health authorities said that nearly all the new cases on that day, or 333 in total, were the result of local transmission. Only two cases were identified as overseas arrivals. 

The authorities also announced that from May 19 until June18 the entry of non-Taiwanese nationals who do not hold a residence permit (including a residence visa) in Taiwan will be suspended and the transit of passengers to Taiwan will also be suspended.

In the meantime, Taipei City and New Taipei City have upgraded their epidemic alert to level 3 from the 15th to the 28th. Restrictions are imposed on many activities and industries. Residents are encouraged to stay home,  gather less and go out less, and to wear masks whenever they go out.

Because of the surge of COVID cases, Taiwan’s stock market suffered a sharp fall of 1,630 points, or 10 percent last Friday, and plunged a further 3 percent on Monday. It bounced back for about 6 percent on Tuesday, and has been hovering at relatively lower levels in the following days. 

Major Blackouts

On Monday and last Thursday, within 5 days, Taiwan has experienced major blackouts twice. During the outrage on May 13, around 13 million households across Taiwan were hit by the incident. 

Then on May 17, the power plant in Kaohsiung again experienced  equipment failure, causing another round of outrage. 4.15 million households were affected. 

Two Smugglings in Five Days

In addition, within 5 days, 2 men successfully smuggled themselves to Taiwan  in rubber boats, one on May 4, one on April 30. 

According to the Kinmen Coastal Patrol, at about 4:50 a.m. on May 4, radar operators found a suspicious light in the sea north of Kinmen and detected a person onboard. Inspectors then seized from the vessel a 20-year-old man surnamed Jiang from China. 

The man claimed to be from Guangxi and said he had bought a rubber boat on the Internet and sailed from Xiaodeng Island to Kinmen. 

He said the reason for the smuggling was “I just want to come”. The Taiwanese authorities are still investigating the man’s motives for his smuggling attempt.

Five days earlier, on April 30, a mainland man surnamed Zhou also smuggled himself to Taiwan in a military-grade rubber boat with an outboard motor. 

He claimed that he had set out from Fujian, China.

His trip to Taiwan was unhindered, going undetected by both Chinese and Taiwanese navy, sea patrol, and shore patrol. He was only found by Taichung port workers and reported to the police two hours after disembarking.

The fact that Zhou could sail to Taiwan without being found or caught has caused concern over Taiwan’s national security. 

Yao Cheng, former commander of the CCP’s Naval Command, told NTDTV’s Focus Talk that he thinks the two “smuggling” cases are very suspicious—especially the first one. 

He said that right now, because of the highly tense situation in the Taiwan Strait, both the CCP and Taiwan have increased patrol of their coastlines. As a former navy commander, he could hardly imagine that anyone could leave the Chinese coast and sail to the sea without being caught by the CCP’s patrol boats. 

Also, the first smuggler is from Sichuan province, an inland province. It would be unlikely for him to have experience sailing alone at sea. It is hard to believe that without a compass, he could rely solely on his cell phone to reach Taiwan. 

Jiang Feng, a popular Chinese language YouTuber who has 753 K subscribers, said in his show that he suspected that the CCP could send these two “smugglers” to “test the water”, and to collect hydrology information near the coast of Taiwan, in preparation for a future invasion.

Taiwan Winning Despite Beijing’s ‘Unrestricted War’

About the series of events in Taiwan, Tony Choi, a commentator in Hong Kong said on his show  that he had received exclusive information that it was highly possible that the CCP was waging“unrestricted war” against Taiwan. 

He said that during a secret meeting between the CCP’s United Front Work Department and the Taiwan Affairs Office, it was suggested that “Taiwan should be dealt with and taught with any means possible.” Choi warned the Taiwanese government and the public to be vigilant because the CCP has no bottom line.

 I also interviewed Hsiao-Hui Chao, chairperson of media platform “The Truth Talker Economic Forum”, a former Taiwanese congressional assistant and senior financial reporter about her views on the recent events in Taiwan. She said that although the CCP has indeed waged unrestricted warfare against Taiwan for many years, Taiwan is still winning.

She said that although this wave of COVID-19 outbreaks struck suddenly, the public in Taiwan has demonstrated a high degree of discipline and behaved very rationally. People started to stay home out of their own initiative, and also tried to help one another. The government has been transparent about the situation, and new case numbers are going down after peaking on Monday. She believes Taiwan can continue to do well.

As to the unrestricted warfare, Chao said the CCP has been trying hard to infiltrate Taiwan and spread misinformation to divide Taiwan internally.

However, in recent years, both the government and the public have become more vigilant, and it is not that easy to confuse Taiwanese people any more.

Chao doesn’t think the CCP has the ability to invade Taiwan by force. “Otherwise, why hasn’t the CCP done it already?”

She thinks that, while the Chinese economy is declining in recent years, and China is actually still suffering from the CCP virus, Taiwan has been rising and is attracting more international investments. Because Taiwan shares the same value as the free world, the US, European countries and Japan all feel more comfortable working with Taiwan, and buying products made in Taiwan.

She also hopes that the US government can be more aggressive in cleaning up the CCP’s infiltration of the US, instead of just passively responding to the CCP’s expansion.

 Japan Holds High-Level Meeting to Discuss the Chinese Regime Threat Amid Joint Military Drill

 Now, let’s move to our next topic. 

You might have read the news of Japan, the United States, and France conducting joint military exercises in Japan. 

While the exercises were going on, Japan’s most important political party, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) held a high-level meeting on May 12 to discuss how to tackle the threat of the CCP.

The senior members of the LDP, representing both the national defense and the security ministry, discussed various situations at the Senkaku Islands (also known as Diaoyu), the South China Sea, and the Taiwan Strait.

The topics of the meeting were revealed by Takao Toshikawa, a well-known Japanese political and economic commentator, in a Japanese article entitled “Europe Joins Japan, U.S., Australia, and India in ‘Deterrence Strategy Against China’—Its Deep Implications for the Senkaku Islands.”

According to the article, many high profile figures attended the meeting, and Taku Otsuka, member of the House of Representatives of Japan for the LDP in charge of national defense, and Itsunori Onodera, chairman of security investigation and former minister of defense,  chaired the meeting. 

The topics included the following five areas:

(1) The operations of Chinese Coast Guard vessels in the waters around the Senkaku Islands.

(2) The operations of Chinese naval vessels and helicopters.

(3) The Chinese Maritime Traffic Safety Law.

(4) The Chinese regime’s survey report on the topography of the Senkaku Islands.

(5) The situations in the South China Sea and Taiwan.

Although the article did not disclose more details of the meeting, it revealed that about 50 LDP members from the House and Senate attended the meeting. Other participants included Hiroyuki Onishi, parliamentary vice-minister, Masami Oka, director of the Defense Policy Bureau, and Mitsuko Hayashi, chief advisor to the Ministry of Defense staff office.

Attendees from the Self-Defense Forces included coordinating officials of the land, sea, and air staffs, as well as Deputy Director-General Kazuye Endo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge of Asia Pacific affairs.

It was also revealed that the topics of the meeting were related to France’s participation in the military exercise involving Japan, the United States, and France. The drill started on May 11 and included a military operation exercise to defend the Senkaku Islands in the case of a CCP invasion.

It was the first time that the French army conducted a joint military exercise with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces on Japanese land.

France sent a large fleet of warships to demonstrate its determination to participate in the affairs of the Indo-Pacific region.  Admiral Pierre Vandier, chief of the French naval staff, said last November that  “Our message will be targeted at China.”

He highlighted the importance of freedom of navigation and respect for international law, and expressed France’s determination to be united with its allies including Japan, the United States, Australia, and India.

In addition, the German government said that it wanted to strengthen its operations in the Indo-Pacific region and for the first time, participated in the 2+2 talks between the foreign and defense ministers of Japan and Germany on April 13 this year.

Japan will also welcome a British aircraft carrier strike group—accompanied by a Dutch warship.

Toshikawa said the strategy of building deterrence against the CCP has gradually won acceptance from European countries such as France. The reason is that the CCP’s expansion of hegemony in the South China and East China Seas has made Japan, the United States, Australia, India, and even France and other European countries feel threatened.

The CCP’s human rights abuses in Hong Kong and Xinjiang are also of deep concern to these countries. So there is a consensus among countries to curb the CCP’s infringement on international rules and human rights issues. 

 So, it seems that more countries are waking up. The European Parliament just overwhelmingly voted to freeze its investment deal with the CCP. This is definitely a big blow to the CCP’s effort to divide the free world. It succeeded to a certain degree before, with many European countries attracted by the CCP’s money and market. It is good that this time Europe has done something right.

OK, that’s all for today’s Inconvenient Truths. Thank you very much for watching.

Top CCP Advisor: China Won the ‘Biological War’ of 2020 and Will Lead the New Modernization After “the Biology Revolution” 中共國師稱中國贏得生物戰 將引導世界

(Jennifer’s note: Chen Ping, a top Chinese academic, made a startling admission that China has won a “biological war” in 2020, and will lead the new wave of human modernization after “the biology revolution”, and after all previous physical and chemical modernizations ended. 2020 is the turning point of 500 years.

曾錚注:中共“國師”、北大教授、復旦大學研究員陳平在今年1月2日上傳的視頻中稱中國贏得了“生物戰”,視頻曝光後引發廣泛關注。以下是他的部分演講內容的英文翻譯稿)。

Below is the excerpts of his speech made on Jan. 2, 2021. The original Chinese video is here. )

***************

I think the history that China has witnessed this year is indeed a history that has not been seen in a hundred years. This year, China won the first battle of the people’s biological warfare, which actually marks a change that has not been seen in 500 years of human history, that is, the four globalizations led by the maritime powers, all ended with the decline of maritime hegemony. 

那我認爲中國今年見證的歷史,確實是百年不遇的歷史,今年中國打贏了生物戰的人民戰爭的第一個戰役,實際上標誌著人類歷史上500年以來從未有過的變革,那就是海洋國家主導的四次全球化,都以海洋霸權的衰落而結束。

But the changes we see this time, from the perspective of scientific revolution, after the first industrial revolution, which was a revolution in physics, the subsequent industrial revolutions, which were actually chemical revolutions, including the two world wars and the nuclear war. But [amid] our COVID19 pandemic this time, what we are facing is a biological war brought about by the era of biological revolution. 

但是我們這次看到的變革命來說,是從第一次工業革命背後的,是物理學的革命,後面幾次的工業革命,實際上是化學的革命,包括兩次大戰和核戰爭,但是我們這一次新冠疫情,我們面臨的是生物革命的時代,所帶來的生物戰爭。

And in the biological war, for the first time, the civilization of East Asia dominated by agricultural economy, compared to the monotheistic civilization of Central Asia and Western Europe dominated by pastoral economy and nomadic economy, showed a more powerful vitality.

而在生物戰爭裏面,頭一次,以東亞以農文明,比中亞和西歐以牧業經濟、遊牧經濟爲主的一神教的文明,要顯示了更強大的生命力。

2020 marks the modernization of mankind [has entered a new era that sees] the decline of the modernization led by the sea power states, while the new development of the continental agricultural states will lead the modernization after the biology revolution. Know your enemy and yourself, and you will be able to dominate the world.

 The year 2020 marks the modernization of mankind, which has entered the decline of the modernization led by maritime powers, while the new way of development led by the agricultural powers of the mainland will lead the modernization after the biology revolution. If you know your enemy, you will be able to control the world.

2020年標誌著人類的現代化,進入了海權國家主導的現代化的衰落,而大陸農業國家主導的新的發展方式,將引領生物學革命以後的現代化。知彼知己,縱橫天下。

**********

(Below is the transcript of the Chinese titles at the end of his speech。以下是他演講結束部分的字幕內容的英文翻譯及中文文字,也是他演講的“中心思想”。)

What does the year 2020 signify? 2020年標誌著什麼?

The year 2020 will witness the turning point of modernization in the past five hundred years. Five hundred years ago, the Western sea power countries started the modernization led by the physical and chemical revolutions; after 2020, the land power countries in East Asia will start the modernization led by the biological revolution. A a moderately prosperous society developed by Chinese civilization is a sustainable green economy for the earth’s ecology.

2020年將見證五百年來現代化的轉折點。五百年前,是西方海權國家先後開啓物理革命和化學革命主導的現代化。2020年之後東亞的陸權國家將開啓生物學革命主導的現代化。中華文明發展的小康社會才是地球生態可持續的綠色經濟。

(Below is from the other parts of he speech.)

***********

In 2020, China won the trade war, science & technology war, and especially the biological war. The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record. So for the liberal, America-worshiping cult within China, their worship of the US is actually unfounded. After this trade war and biological warfare, the US was beaten back to its original place.

So I think Trump’s attempt to restore the declining international status of the US during his 4 years has failed. This failure is not only the failure of Trump’s personal campaign for re-election as president, but also the failure of the neo-liberalism-led globalization of the past four decades led by the US and the UK. Therefore, the development & modernization model of the US and Europe is not worthy of China’s imitation and repetition.

(Jennifer’s note: Chen Ping was born in 1944 in China. According to his research profile, he spent six years getting a PhD in Physics at the University of Texas, Austin in the 1980s. He is now a professor emeritus at Beijing University, China’s most prestigious university — where he had proximity to China’s ruling communists —  and now has a retirement gig at Fudan University (also highly prestigious) in China’s economic capital, Shanghai, where he is “Chair of Academic Committee, Center for New Political Economy.”  This puts him at the heart of strategic thinking in China about how to muscle aside the United States.)

Will Candles Still Be Lit in Hong Kong on June 4 ? More Internet Financial Giants Targeted by the CCP

Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.  

 Today I will talk about two topics: Will candles still be lit in Hong Kong this year on June 4, the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre? Why is the CCP tightening control over Internet Financial Giants such as Alibaba and Tencent? 

Before we move on, please make sure you subscribe to and share my channel if you haven’t. We need to fight hard in this battle between freedom and censorship. So let’s fight together

Now, let’s move to our first topic. 

June 4 Vigil Organizer Says Candles Will Be Lit in Hong Kong’s Victoria Park

June 4 this year will mark the 32nd anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and it will be the first year since the Chinese regime implemented the national security law in Hong Kong. While a number of democratic activists were given jail terms for participating in last year’s peaceful Tiananmen memorial rally, will this year’s event still be on like in the past 31 years? 

The organizer of each year’s event vowed that candlelight would still be lit in Victoria Park next month, despite pressure from Beijing authorities.

 You know, the organizer of each year’s event is Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China (let’s call it the “Alliance” from now on). 

Hang Tung Chow (鄒幸彤), a Hong Kong barrister and vice-president of the Alliance said that candles in Victoria Park will be lit as usual regardless of whether or not they get permission from the authorities.

Chow said that the Alliance has notified the police of the June 4 activities, but has yet to receive a reply.

Richard Tsoi, secretary of the Alliance, said that the organization will meet with the police tomorrow (on May 20) to try to get permission. Due to the current political situation, the Alliance says they have to be careful and “work more cautiously within the legal framework.”

On May 4, the Alliance received a notification from the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, which states that the department has suspended the processing of venue bookings in response to the pandemic. This means that the Victoria Park venue will not be approved.

Despite that, Chow (鄒幸彤) said, the Alliance still plans to enter Victoria Park, as the rally will be legal since the police have not opposed it.

She said, “We have our own bottom line, which is not to be crushed by their red line.” 

Even if the police object to the rally, she said, “They cannot oppose me going out with a candle, they cannot oppose me going anywhere with a candle. We insist on having a candlelight vigil in Victoria Park.”

Chow said that in the coming days, the Alliance will work with different organizations to put up street stalls and distribute candles to the public.

She hopes that more people can be motivated to help organizations set up street stalls, so that on June 4, many people can take the candles with them to places they can go. The Alliance will also launch an online campaign so that people from different places can participate. 

Participants of Last Year’s June 4 Rally Sentenced

On June 4 last year, although the Hong Kong government banned the rally in Victoria Park on the pretext of the pandemic, tens of thousands of people still entered the park to light candles. The police did not stop the public from entering, and participants left peacefully after the memorial ceremony.

However, 26 pro-democracy activists, who participated in the rally, were charged with “taking part in an unauthorized assembly.” Among them,  Joshua Wong,  Lester Shum,  Tiffany Yuen and Jannelle Rosalynne Leung were sentenced to 4 to 10 months in prison on May 6.

Although the rally was peaceful, Judge Stanley Chan said in his ruling that those people were sentenced because “the event was held on a special day. This is a potential risk factor that cannot be underestimated or ignored.”

This is to say that people can be sentenced for attending a peaceful event only because that event was held on a “special day.”  How ridiculous is that, right? 

Among the 26 activists charged, 20 have pleaded not guilty, two have escaped from Hong Long, and live in the UK now. They are  Nathan Law and  Sunny Cheung(張崑陽).

The case will be brought back to court on June 11. All the 20 people may also face imprisonment.

From this we can see how things are rapidly getting worse in Hong Kong since the so called national security law was implemented by Beijing in June last year,  following the withdrawal of an extradition bill in October 2019,  which once triggered nearly 2 million people to take to the streets on June 16 that year. 

The national security law was drafted behind closed doors by members of China’s rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), bypassing Hong Kong’s Legislative Council. Many people feared the harsh measures could be used to override existing legal processes and erode the city’s civil and political freedoms.

Two high-profile figures of the Alliance have already been sentenced.  Lee Cheuk-yan 李卓人, the chairman of the organization, was sentenced to 14 months in prison for his role in a peaceful anti-extradition bill protest in August 2019 and is currently serving his sentence.

The vice-chairman of the Alliance, Albert Ho, was sentenced to 12 months in prison and two years probation for his involvement in the August 2019 protest.

Be ‘More Flexible’ or ‘Uphold Promises?’

Richard Tsoi, secretary of the Alliance, told The Epoch Times that in the face of severe legal and political risks, a flexible approach to commemorate the June 4 Incident should be considered.

He said, compared to one year ago, the national security law has come into effect. The political environment is worse, and legal risks are higher.

He said, “I think we have to think about how to be more flexible and preserve our strength while sticking to our principles”.

However, Chow disagrees with him.

She said, “Right now, it is not a question of how much strength we want to preserve for ourselves, it is how much strength the government wants to eliminate. Unless you don’t fight for democracy, unless you give up this fight, some things cannot be avoided.” 

Chow added that people in mainland China were sentenced to three, four, or even 10 years for commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre, and the people of Hong Kong should uphold their promises to the victims, the Tiananmen Mothers, the exiled and imprisoned brothers, sisters, and friends who have fought for democracy.

The photos you just saw were all taken on June 4 last year in Victoria Park in Hong Kong.

The Tiananmen Square protests, a youth-led movement advocating for democratic reforms, have become a taboo subject in China. The Chinese regime won’t disclose the number or names of those killed in the clampdown. Death toll estimates from human rights groups and witnesses range from several hundred to several thousand, some even say at least ten thousand. 

From 1989 to 2019: Hong Kong’s Involvement in China’s Pro-democracy Movement

Although the 1989 pro-democracy movement was centered in Beijing, the people of Hong Kong were also deeply involved.

After the CCP declared martial law in Beijing on May 19, 1989, more than 40,000 Hongkongers took to the streets on the following day, despite the typhoon, to oppose the crackdown.

On May 21, over 1 million Hongkongers held a protest, accounting for about one-fifth of Hong Kong’s population.

The Alliance we mentioned earlier was founded in May 1989, during the protests in Beijing,  with Szeto Wah (司徒華), one of the founding fathers of Hong Kong’s democratic movement, as its first chairman.

On June 4 that year, Hongkongers were horrified by the CCP’s massacre in Beijing. Soon after, the Alliance launched “Operation Yellowbird” and has helped a large number of student leaders and participants in the movement to flee from China.

Since then, for 31 consecutive years, the Alliance has held a candlelight memorial service at Victoria Park on June 4. The maximum number of participants was 180,000 in 2012, 2014, and 2019 respectively.

So, after 31 years of undisrupted memorial services, if this year’s event cannot be held as usual, I think many people will feel very sad. 

Of course the situation in Hong Kong is already bad enough. But how worse will it become? People still want to wait and see. 

 Now, let’s move to our next topic.

China’s Regulators Warn 13 Chinese Internet Firms Amidst Internal Power Struggle 

The CCP’s regulators recently interviewed 13 Chinese internet firms following a third interview of Jack Ma’s Ant Group. It is obvious that power struggles inside the CCP are behind these interviews. 

 Among other issues, supervision of the shareholding structure and capital was reportedly emphasized in the interviews.

 The interviewed giants include well known companies such as Tencent,  JD.com,  ByteDance,  and Trip.com Group Finance, etc. 

Similar to Ant Group, these 13 companies all have integrated operations, large business volume, and strong industry influence.

In the interview meeting, Pan Gongsheng(潘功勝), Vice Governor of the Chinese Central Bank put forward seven requirements: 

(1) All financial activities must be supervised;  

(2)  Payments should be done in their “original form,” while “inappropriate connections” between payment tools and other financial products should be severed, non-bank accounts should be strictly controlled and prevented from expanding to the public sector;

(3) Monopoly of information on financial platforms should be ended; 

(4) Management of key aspects such as shareholder qualifications, shareholding structure, capital, risk isolation, and connected transactions payments, etc, should be strengthened;

(5) Improve corporate governance;

(6)  Regulate the issuance and trading of asset securitization products and overseas listing;

(7)  Strengthen the consumer protection mechanism.

Pan Gongsheng also chaired the third interview meeting with Ant Group, raising five rectification requirements, which were similar to the 7 requirements.

Up to now there is no news or reports about whether the 13 companies have shareholding structures or capital problems. However, Xi Jinping has long been investigating the shareholding structure background of Ant Group, and found that former CCP leader Jiang Zemin’s faction was behind it. 

Ant’s Complex Ownership Structure

According to the Wall Street Journal, growing unease in Beijing over Ant Group’s complex ownership structure was another reason why the CCP blocked Ant Group’s IPO. 

The Wall Street Journal report said the CCP found that  Boyu Capital, which is effectively controlled by Jiang Zemin’s grandson Jiang Zhicheng, holds a stake in Ant in a roundabout way through a private equity fund, Beijing Jingguan; while Li Botan, the son-in-law of former Politburo Standing Committee member Jia Qinglin, who has close ties to Jiang Zemin, holds a stake in Ant through Beijing Zhaode Investment Group.

The report mentioned that many of Jiang’s men have been purged in Xi Jinping’s corruption crackdown, but Jiang still has a certain degree of influence behind the scenes.

As early as 2014, the Chinese edition of The Epoch Times exclusively broke the story that after Zhou Yongkang, former  Secretary of the CCP’s Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission and important member of the Jiang faction, inspected Tencent in 2011, Jiang’s niece Jiang Jin was appointed as the person in charge of the government affairs of  Tencent QQ. 

Under Jiang Jin’s leadership, Tencent began deep cooperation with the CCP’s Ministry of National Security and Ministry of Public Security. Both of them are two of the CCP’s important tools to control and persecute Chinese people. 

Internet Financial Giants Required to Study ‘The Spirit’ of Xi Jinping’s Speech

Immediately after Ant Group was interviewed for the third time, on April 13, Zhejiang Province, where Ant Group is headquartered, held a special meeting on the Internet platform at which local officials stressed the need to further study and implement  the spirit of Xi Jinping’s speech.

When the 13 companies were later interviewed, the financial regulators emphasized the same requirement.

Among the interviewed companies, some are regarded as having a Jiang faction background, such as Tencent and Meituan Financial, in which Tencent has a stake.

Why is the CCP so upset about these Internet financial giants? 

Because, once Internet financial platforms become big enough, they can greatly influence the flow of capital and market confidence, and control the consumer data. If the authorities cannot control these financial platforms, the consequences could be disastrous. 

For example, in 2015, during the turbulence of the Chinese stock market, a third of the value of A-shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange was lost in one month. 

Many people believed that the market crash was a result of “collusion” between anti-Xi forces within the CCP and foreign capital. 

That’s why the authorities now feel they must guard against similar risks and know who exactly is behind those big financial platforms.  

Also, by controlling the information and data, the authorities not only can monitor the people, but also can control the big data of people’s life and consumption. That’s why the authorities must take tight control over these platforms.

So that’s the reality of the CCP’s China. Even if you say that you will follow and obey the party, the party still feels uneasy if you become too big. Everything must be under 100% control.

I know many people in the West were charmed by Jack Ma. He speaks good English. His talks are interesting, he is rich and he is smart, etc.

 But recently when he made his first public appearance after disappearing for a long time, people found him looking a lot older and more pitiful. The University he owns, Hupan University, was also targeted. This video shows the big sign of Hupan University being destroyed, with the words plastered over.

So that’s the tragedy of living in CCP’s China. No one is safe, regardless of whether you are rich or poor.

That’s all for today’s Inconvenient Truths. Thank you so much for watching. Please spread this video so that more people become aware.

Thank you. See you next time.

CCP Researcher: China Won Unprecedented Biological warfare in 2020 中共教授稱中國2020年打贏了貿易戰和生物戰

Chen Ping (his bio here), Senior Researcher at China Institute, Fudan University, professor at Peking University, recently said the #CCP won the trade war, science & technology war, and especially the biological war in 2020. “The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record.”

He said in this short video: “In 2020, China won the trade war, science & technology war, and especially the biological war. The achievement is unprecedented. This is an epoch-making historical record. So for the liberal, America-worshiping cult within China, their worship of the US is actually unfounded. After this trade war and biological warfare, the US was beaten back to its original shape.”

中共 復旦大學中国研究院高级研究员、北大教授陳平近日在視頻中說 中國2020年打贏了貿易戰和生物戰,取得了前所未有的成就,是劃時代的歷史紀錄。美國被貿易戰和生物戰打回了原形。

Three Reasons Why Australia Dares to Stand Up to the CCP

Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.  

Today I will talk about the Chinese Communist Party, the CCP’s recent threat of bombing Australia, and three reasons why Australia dares to stand up against the CCP as a relatively much smaller country. 

Long-range Strike on Australian Soil 

Recently Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that the Australian government’s policy towards Taiwan would remain firm and unchanged, and that Australia would fulfill its commitment to support the United States and its allies if the CCP invades Taiwan.

In response to his statement, Hu Xijin, the chief editor of the CCP’s mouthpiece, the Global Times said in his Weibo Post that China should conduct long-range strikes on Australian soil. 

Hu Xijin said, “Given that Australian hawks keep hyping or hinting that Australia will assist the US military and participate in war once a military conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, and the Australian media outlets have been actively promoting the sentiment, I suggest China make a plan to impose retaliatory punishment against Australia once it militarily interferes in the cross-Strait situation. The plan should include long-range strikes on the military facilities and relevant key facilities on Australian soil if it really sends its troops to China’s offshore areas and combats against the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).  This plan should not only be available, but should also be revealed to the outside world through informal channels to deter extremist forces in Australia from taking irresponsible actions in a desperate manner.

“China loves peace and will not take the initiative to pick a fight with faraway Australia, but Australian hawks must be clear-minded that if they are bold enough to coordinate with the US to militarily interfere in the Taiwan issue and send troops to the Taiwan Strait to wage war with the PLA, they must know what disasters they would cause to their country. China has a strong production capability, including producing additional long-range missiles with conventional warheads that target military objectives in Australia when the situation becomes highly tense. ”

China observers believe that Hu Xijin didn’t just say these words for nothing. He was actually echoing what Xi Jinping said earlier. 

In January this year, Xi Jinping made a speech to the CCP’s major leading cadres at provincial and ministerial levels, and said, “We must both dare to fight and be good at it, and strengthen ourselves comprehensively, especially to enhance our strength of deterrence.”

Actually, in May last year, Hu Xijin said in a Weibo post that China needs to expand its nuclear warheads to the level of a thousand in a relatively short period of time, including at least 100 Dongfeng-41 strategic missiles, to curb “U.S. strategic ambitions and its desire to target China” ; and China needs to “use nuclear weapons” to “shape the attitudes of the U.S. elite toward China.”

Also, in April this year, Zhang Kejian, director of the National Space Administration of the CCP, has revealed that China will discuss the construction of a “near-Earth asteroid defense system.” People suspected that could be the CCP’s version of the “Star Wars” program.

What I want to say is that although the CCP’s military power is far less than that of the United States at present, its madness and evilness could be more fatal to the world. And this is the most difficult for the United States and the international community to deal with, and also the most important to plan for. As long as the CCP is not dismantled, the world is not safe.

Three Reasons Why Australia Dares to Stand Up Against the CCP

You might also wonder why Australia, as a relatively smaller country, out of so many countries in the West, has the guts to stand up to the CCP? 

As far as I can see, there are 3 reasons.

A Defector

Back in 2005, there was a very high-profile event in Australia. Chen Yonglin, a CCP diplomat, the political affairs consul at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, defected to Australia. 

Chen Yonglin, a CCP diplomat, the political affairs consul at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, defected to Australia in 2005.

Chen Yonglin, a CCP diplomat, the political affairs consul at the Chinese consulate in Sydney, defected to Australia in 2005.

When he quietly walked out of the Chinese consulate and went to the Australian immigration department, he told the staff there that “I am from the Chinese consulate in Sydney, and I want to seek political asylum from Australia. ” Then he gave them his Chinese passport.

And you know what? The immigration officer immediately picked up the phone and called the Chinese consulate and asked them, “Do you really have someone who is called Chen Yonglin? Does he really work for you?” 

Chen Yonglin was immediately scared to death. He never expected that his defection would be revealed and betrayed like this. 

So the CCP immediately knew that he had defected. They right away formed a 3 person assassination team and sent them to Sydney to try to kill Chen Yonglin.

Frankly speaking, I don’t think the Australian immigration officer’s intention was to betray Chen Yonglin, or to endanger his life. Then why did this officer choose to call the Chinese consulate to confirm Chen Yongin’s identity? Because deep in these officers’ minds, people in the Chinese consulate are just like their colleagues and can be trusted and turned to when needed.

I tell this story to illustrate how deeply Australia had been infiltrated by the CCP back in 2005. 

Anyway, Chen Yonglin initially planned to stay very low-key after he decided to walk away from the Chinese consulate. He had rented a place in a very remote small town and planned to quietly live there without causing any attention.

However, because the Australian immigration officer revealed his defection, and because the CCP intended to assassinate him, and because he knew that the CCP had kidnapped people from inside Australia before, he knew his life was in grave danger,  so he was forced to become high-profile and started exposing the CCP to the media and the public.

And you know what? One of his main tasks as a political consul was to persecute Falun Gong in Sydney. But through his direct contacts with Falun Gong practitioners, he came to know that these people were all innocent, good people to be trusted. One of the reasons he chose to walk out of the Chinese consulate was that he didn’t want to help the CCP to persecute Falun Gong anymore. 

The CCP had collected a blacklist of about 800 Falun Gong practitioners in Sydney before he walked away. So he erased that list from the Chinese consulate’s computer system before he left.

Anyway, ironically, when he found his life was in danger, the only people he dared to trust were Falun Gong practitioners, whom he was ordered to persecute before. 

As the CCP has already found out where he lived, he had to abandon the place he rented and leave that small town. He then entrusted the lives of his entire family including his wife, his daughter, and himself to a Falun Gong practitioner by staying at her home. 

That was also why I was chosen to act as his media contact person during that most difficult time. So these pictures were taken during that period when I helped him with media exposure. Sometimes I appeared in the media and events together with him, sometimes I drove him to meet with Australian media and politicians.

Anyway, Chen Yonglin exposed many secrets of the CCP then, including that there were about 1000 CCP spies and informants in Australia, how the CCP wanted to turn Australia into its puppet via political, diplomatic, economic, and even cultural channels. 

Just to mention one example here: wealthy Chinese businessmen linked to the CCP had become the largest donors to both major Australian political parties, and sometimes you felt that Australian politicians talked exactly like the CCP officials.

Great Australian China Debate

Although on the surface, what Chen Yonglin said didn’t cause any immediate change in Australia, gradually, especially after more and more Australians felt that things were not right inside Australia because of the CCP’s influence and operations in Australia, people started to wake up. 

In 2018, Clive Hamilton, an Australian professor, published a book entitled “Silent Invasion: China’s influence in Australia” to reveal the CCP’s threats to Australia. He used a lot of information provided by Chen Yonglin in his book.  I interviewed Hamilton when he came to the US to promote his book. 

Media outlets such as ABC also did quite a few reports and TV shows to expose the CCP.  So there had been a ‘Great Australian China Debate’ in Australia. 

Professor Rory Medcalf, head of the National Security College at the Australian National University, especially came to the US to introduce this ‘Great Australian China Debate’ back in 2018, and I covered his event at George Washington University. 

Australia Intercepted Secret information Related to CCP Virus

Now, let’s move on to the third reason.

 Elmer Yuen,  a Hong Kong businessman I once interviewed, revealed that the Australian intelligence agency had intercepted secret information about the CCP Virus, or COVID-19 from the CCP, when Sun Lijun,  former Vice Minister of Public Security of the CCP tried to secretly hand over the information to his wife in Australia for her to keep. So Australia has some inside information about the virus that other countries don’t have, and that was why Australia was the first country that said the CCP needed to be held responsible for the spread of the CCP virus pandemic. 

Anyway, that was revealed by Elmer Yuen in his YouTube show last August.

Sun Lijun was indeed suddenly removed from his post in April last year. As late as last February, two months before he was removed, he was still sent to Wuhan to inspect the prevention and control work of the pandemic,  and had appeared in official media many times. 

Why was he suddenly removed? The CCP said it was because he didn’t obey, follow or respect the party disciplines or rules, and had acted recklessly.

So from this people tend to believe that he might indeed know some important information about the virus, and was indeed removed because he had handed this information to his wife in Australia. 

Anyway, the above are the three things that I believe to be the reasons why Australia has become so tough on the CCP. 

Another interesting thing is, although the CCP has been inciting nationalism inside China, and calling on people to boycott various Australian products, Australia’s exports to China reached record high in the first quarter of this year, with an increase of 20.7 percent year-on-year, mainly because of the rise in iron ore prices.

So, you see, the CCP is not really that tough as it appears, right? It relies more on Australia’s iron ore to sustain its infrastructure projects than Australia relies on China’s imports.  

Well, that’s all for today’s Inconvenient Truths. If you find the content interesting, please share it with your family and friends. Please also don’t forget to subscribe to and share my channel.

Epoch Times Reporter Attacked in Hong Kong & Faustian Bargains on the Mekong River 

Hello, everyone, welcome to “Inconvenient Truths”. I am your host Jennifer Zeng.  

Today I will talk about 4 topics: a reporter from the Epoch Times attacked in Hong Kong; the finally released census data of China; a little bit of an update on Tesla’s situation in China; and how the CCP’s investment in the Mekong River is affecting those Southeast Asian countries. So please make sure you stick around till the end.

Before we go on, please make sure you subscribe to my channel and share my videos if you haven’t, and turn on the notification bell so that you don’t miss new shows.

Epoch Times Reporter Attacked in Hong Kong

First of all, let me do a quick update of an Epoch Times reporter in Hong Kong being attacked, and how the situation of Hong Kong is getting worse and worse.

Remember I did a program about Hong Kong’s richest man Li Ka-Shing being marginalized for not actively supporting the CCP a while ago? 

In that show I talked about the printing factory of the Epoch Times newspaper being broke into and printing machines and computers being smashed, and Sarah Liang, a reporter from the Epoch Times, as well as a good friend of mine, being followed. This man even went to her apartment to confirm her address and to harass her on April 24. 

Well, today, at noon local time, she got physically attacked in front of her apartment building and had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance!

Let’s show a few pictures of the bruises on her legs. Basically as she was standing outside her apartment, a large man in his 40s suddenly got out of a car and beat her up with a bat for about one minute, and more than 10 times, and then jumped into his car and drove away. A witness saw that his car was a black Mercedes-Benz, and the license plate number is “TV3851”.

After Sarah finished her injury check in Queen Elizabeth hospital, she held a press conference outside. 

She told the press that last Saturday, on May 8, while she was standing at the same location, a man suddenly ran to her, and while he was running, a black bat dropped out of his clothes. He was wearing a long sleeve black jacket although it was very hot, obviously to hide his bat. He was a little bit surprised and at loss as to what to do as his hidden bat fell to the ground unexpectedly. He hesitated for a bit and then walked away. Sarah felt that he looked strange and took this photo while he walked away.

Guo Jun, director of the Hong Kong edition of The Epoch Times, said there was no doubt that the CCP was behind the assault on Sarah Liang. Guo called on the international community to pay attention to the safety of all reporters working in Hong Kong.

Guo Jun said, the CCP’s goal with this attack, as well as the others, was to force The Epoch Times to abandon its business in Hong Kong. The safety of the staff at the outlet’s printing plant has been another concern. There have been unidentified vehicles and people spotted near the facility recently.

The Chinese edition of The Epoch Times called on Hong Kong Police to carry out their duty to investigate all unresolved cases involving the Hong Kong bureau.

 The outlet just issued a statement, saying, “We call on the general public in Hong Kong to continue to support The Epoch Times. The Epoch Times will not back down and it will continue to provide truthful coverage and safeguard Hong Kong.”

It also called on the international community to help “prevent the CCP’s escalating violence against Hong Kong media.”

The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA), quickly posted a statement on its Facebook page today, condemned the violence against Sarah Liang and “solemnly urged” the police to quickly bring the attacker to justice.

The statement says, “Freedom of the press is a core value that makes Hong Kong a success. We will never tolerate any violent threats against the media or journalists. ”

Please make sure that you share this video as widely as you can to show your support for freedom of speech in Hong Kong. Like I said before, the Epoch Times is one of the only few independent media outlets in Hong Kong that are still reporting from the front line of the battlefield against the CCP. If people like my friend Sarah Liang are brave enough to stay in Hong Kong to do this most difficult job, we at least can do a little bit of our own in a far less tough environment. 

So please do share this video to show your support.

China 2020 Census Shows Population Growth Slipped to Lowest Ever

Now, let’s move on to our next topic: China’s much anticipated census results.

After a lot of delay, the CCP finally published its census results today. 

It says that China’s total population is 1.41178 billion. That is a 5.84 percent increase compared with the 1.34 billion in the 2010 census. 

However, the results also show that China’s population growth in the decade to 2020 slumped to the least in official records dating back to the 1950s, that is, an annual growth rate of only 0.53 percent. 

 Yi Fuxian, a well-known demographer and author of the book “Big Country with an Empty Nest”, has sent a number of tweets since the results were released. 

He insisted that China’s real population is unlikely to exceed 1.28 billion, and said that the census data has been revised. 

He also created some PowerPoint files to illustrate how corruption exists in every aspect of the census, and why the CCP’s official results cannot be trusted. 

Given the history and the nature of the CCP, which is lying all the time, I tend to believe in Yi Fuxian’s analysis instead of the CCP’s official numbers. How about you?

Tesla Puts Brake on Shanghai Land Buy

 Now, a little update on Tesla in China.

According to Reuters, Tesla has halted plans to buy land to expand its Shanghai plant and make it a global export hub.

If you have watched my last show on Tesla, I think you will not feel surprised. The CCP has created a lot of trouble for Tesla recently because it wants to have Tesla’s technology, market and data. Tesla definitely isn’t feeling happy about these unpleasant experiences. 

I forgot to mention some important information in my last show regarding the woman who jumped on top of a Tesla car to protest in Shanghai’s International Auto Show. And the important information is this: although she claimed that her family encountered an accident because the Tesla brake failed, the local police actually had issued a liability report right after the accident, which says that her father should be 100% responsible for the accident, as he was speeding before he crashed into the cars in front of him at a traffic light. 

So why has the CCP supported that woman? Please go back to watch my last video about Tesla if you haven’t. 

The CCP’s Investments in Mekong River Is A Faustian Bargain

 

Now, let’s move to our last topic today: the CCP’s investment in the Mekong River. 

 Recently after Xi Jinping made an “important” speech at the recent U.S.-led virtual climate summit, Xinhua published an article and interpreted the speech as the guideline to build a “Human Community With A Shared Future”. The article boasted about the 7 hydropower stations on the Nam Ou River in Laos built by the CCP as a perfect example. However, an expert said those projects are Faustian bargains, which means people are trading their souls with the devil and will eventually hurt themselves. 

Now let’s check how and why these projects are Faustian bargains. 

Nam Ou River in Laos is one of the 12 principal tributaries of the Mekong River, the largest river in Southeast Asia. Mekong originates in China, and spans six countries in Southeast Asia.

Over the past five years, the CCP’s “One Belt, One Road” program, or Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), has targeted the Mekong River Basin and invested in a number of major infrastructure projects, including hydropower stations. 

While the CCP’s investment in these hydropower projects has brought external funding to local governments, it has also posed a direct threat to the livelihoods of the people of the Mekong River Basin. 

Why? 

Threatened by Dams,  Mekong River May Become another Yangtze

The Mekong River is known as a “natural fishery”. It is famous for its rich diversity of fish, with 1,148 species of fish, ranking third in the world in fish diversity after the Amazon and the Congo River basins. 

The Lower Mekong Basin has the largest inland capture fishery in the world, with a total annual catch of 2.3 million tons of fish valued at $11 billion, providing up to 80% of the animal protein needed by the people of the Mekong River Basin on a daily basis.

The Mekong River is also home to many economically valuable fish, including the world’s largest freshwater fish, the stingray. Four of the world’s top ten freshwater fish live in the Mekong River. 

Yet fisheries in the Mekong River Basin are now facing the threat of dams. According to Nature magazine, an estimated 60% of the catch in the Lower Mekong Basin is made up of migratory fish that need to cross the river unimpeded to spawn in suitable areas. The construction of dams will impede the migration of these fish and put many of them at risk of extinction.

The World Wide Fund for Nature published a study in May last year called “Rivers of Giants – Giant Fish of the Mekong“. The study says that dams on the Mekong’s mainstem and tributaries are the greatest and most pressing threat to the Mekong’s giant fish because they disrupt the migratory routes of the fish.

Expert hydrologist Wang Weiluo said in an interview with the Epoch Times that the dams block the downward flow of sediment, which contains nutrients for the fish. The water flowing from the reservoir is also several degrees cooler than normal river water, which can also disrupt fish reproduction.

Actually, the Mekong River has already seen a 76% decline in freshwater fish and a 94% decline in the number of giant fish since 1970.

According to the Mekong River Commission, the loss of fish due to dams is estimated to be nearly $23 billion by 2040. In addition to fisheries, the loss of forests, wetlands and mangroves could be as high as $145 billion. The dams will also reduce sedimentation and limit rice growth along the Mekong River.

Wang Weiluo said that the dams in China’s Yangtze River basin have left the Yangtze fishery in dire straits, and because of that, the CCP has imposed a 10-year ban on fishing in key areas of the Yangtze River basin.  If Mekong becomes another Yangtze, how will the tens of millions of fishermen in the Mekong River Basin survive? 

The CCP Invests in Mekong River to Control Southeast Asian Countries

Over the past 10 years, hydropower development in the Mekong River Basin has been expanding. On the mainstem, there are 11 projects in operation or under planning, including seven hydropower stations in Laos, two in Cambodia and two on the Lao-Thai border.

The construction of hydropower stations in the Mekong River Basin is one of the key initiatives of the CCP’s “One Belt, One Road” efforts in Southeast Asia. 

In Laos, the CCP has already built the 100,000-kilowatt Nam Lik 1-2 hydropower station,  the 120,000-kilowatt Nam Ngum 5 hydropower station, and the  Nam Ou River hydropower station under the so-called “Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT)” model.

What does the BOT model mean? It means the CCP builds and operates these projects first, before transferring them to local governments. 

Using the BOT model, the CCP would sign a 20-year or longer concession agreement with a local government after investing in the construction of these hydropower stations.

In Cambodia, the CCP has also invested in Kirirom 1 and 3 hydropower station projects, Kamchay station, Tatay hydropower station, Stung Atay hydroelectric power project,  Lower Stung Russei Chrum station, and Lower Se San 2 hydropower station, all under the BOT model.

Take the Sino-Lao cooperation project Nam Phay Hydropower Station as an example. The Chinese side holds 85% of the project’s equity and will have a 25-year concession period after the project is officially put into commercial operation.

Wang Weiluo said, the operation of these hydropower stations directly affects all aspects of the local energy supply and river channel management.

Xi Jinping once said that the Three Gorges Project is “a national important weapon” and “a major national important weapon must be in our own hands”. 

Wang Weiluo said, by the same token, the projects on the Mekong River are also “major national important weapons”, as these projects have the same ability to impact those countries’ rise or decline.

However, those countries have handed their “national important weapons” to the CCP. 

Wang Weiluo said, the CCP’s promotion of the “One Belt, One Road” program in the Mekong Basin reveals its ambition to control not only China’s “major national important weapons”, but also those of the Mekong Basin countries’, in order to control Southeast Asia.

Well, that’s all for today’s Inconvenient Truths. Once again, please do share my video today to raise awareness of all of these important issues, especially about Hong Kong’s worsening situation. I do hope the world can stop the CCP before it completely destroys Hong Kong, and the world, for that matter.

Thank you. See you soon!

Global Times Chief: China Should Conduct Long-range Strike on Australia 環時總編胡錫進:中國應對澳大利亞實施遠程打擊

(Jennifer’s note: Hu Xijin, the chief editor of the Chinese Communist Party’s mouthpiece Global Times said in his Weibo Post that China should conduct long-range strike on Australian soil. The following is the full translation of his post on May 7.)

(曾錚注:以下爲中共喉舌《環球時報》總編胡錫進5月7日所發微博全文及英文翻譯。)

Given that Australian hawks keep hyping or hinting that Australia will assist the US military and participate in war once a military conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits, and the Australian media outlets have been actively promoting the sentiment, I suggest China make a plan to impose retaliatory punishment against Australia once it militarily interferes in the cross-Straits situation. The plan should include long-range strikes on the military facilities and relevant key facilities on Australian soil if it really sends its troops to China’s offshore areas and combats against the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). This plan should not only be available, but should also be revealed to the outside world through informal channels to deter extremist forces in Australia from taking irresponsible actions in a desperate manner.

鉴于澳大利亚鹰派不断鼓吹或者暗示澳将在台海爆发军事冲突时协助美军并且参战,澳媒不断推动相关炒作,老胡主张中国应当制定一个在澳军事干涉台海局势时对其实施报复性惩罚的预案,包括在澳真的出兵来中国近海与解放军作战时,对澳本土军事设施及相关关键设施远程打击。这个方案不仅要有,而且应当通过非正式渠道向外透露,震慑澳大利亚的极端势力,阻止他们铤而走险采取不负责任的行动。

China loves peace and will not take the initiative to pick a fight with faraway Australia, but Australian hawks must be clear-minded that if they are bold enough to co-ordinate with the US to militarily interfere in the Taiwan question and send troops to the Taiwan Straits to wage war with the PLA, they must know what disasters they would cause to their country. China has a strong production capability, including producing additional long-range missiles with conventional warheads that target military objectives in Australia when the situation becomes highly tense

中国热爱和平,我们决不会向遥远的澳大利亚主动发难,但澳大利亚鹰派必须清醒。他们如果胆敢动协同美国军事干预台湾问题并派军队来台海与解放军作战的念头,他们必须知道他们在给自己的国家招惹什么样的灾难。中国的生产能力很强,包括额外生产一些用来在局势高度紧张时瞄准澳大利亚军事目标、配备常规弹头的远程导弹。
