** 27-Jun-2019 World View: Investigation reveals Huawei ties with China's military


An investigation by Bloomberg reveals that China's Huawei Technologies
Company has collaborated with China's military in at least 10 research
endeavors spanning artificial intelligence to radio communications.
According to the report, they include a joint effort with the
investigative branch of the Central Military Commission -- the armed
forces’ supreme body -- to extract and classify emotions in online
video comments, and an initiative with the elite National University
of Defense Technology to explore ways of collecting and analyzing
satellite images and geographical coordinates.

The research was done by searching publicly available published
periodicals and online research databases, such as cnki.net, used
mainly by Chinese academics and industry specialists.

There's nothing particularly surprising about this. Even America's
companies sometimes collaborate with the military.

What makes this a hot button issue is that China wants us to believe
the ridiculous claim that Huawei has nothing to do with China's
military, even though China's National Intelligence Law, passed in
2017, requires every company in China, including Huawei, to cooperate
with the military in collecting foreign intelligence, even when doing
so is illegal.

Huawei Founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei, who began his career as a
commander in China's military, is going around the world on a charm
offensive and public relations tour, claiming that Huawei would NEVER
cooperate with the military, and he would rather go to jail than obey
an order from China's military. The fact that Ren Zhengfei believes
that people in the West are so stupid that we might actually believe
this just shows the level of contempt the people in the CCP have for
Westerners.

As I've explained in the past, my personal experience spending five
years implementing board level operating systems for embedded systems
has made it clear that it would be easy for a Huawei engineer with the
right skills to install undetectable backdoors in Huawei chips.
Huawei is also required by China's National Intelligence Law, passed
in 2017, to fully cooperate with China's military in collecting
intelligence, so installation of these undectable backdoors is
required by Chinese law.

China's military is preparing for war in every possible way. By
aggressively subsidizing Huawei's 5G products, the CCP's strategy is
to have as much of the global internet running on Huawei devices as
possible. When China launches its war, China's control of the global
internet will give China's military an enormous advantage.

Huawei is becoming a major hot button issue in the US-China trade
talks, with Donald Trump and Xi Jinping expected to meet and discuss
trade issues at the G20 meeing in Osaka, Japan, that begins on Friday.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been preparing in every possible
way to launch a war with America -- building and deploying numerous
nuclear missile systems with no purpose except to destroy American
cities, bases and aircraft carriers, building illegal bases in the
South China Sea, massive continuing cyberwarfare attacks on the West,
militarizing its fleet of thousands fishing boats -- and it's not even
remotely conceivable that the CCP has not similarly militarized
Huawei.

In fact, by giving China's military control of large parts of the
internet, Huawei is possibly the most important weapon in the CCP's
planned attack on the West. For that reason, Xi Jinping is going to
be desperate to get America's security objections lifted, while Trump
will have to find a way to at least partially appease Xi on Huawei.
One possibility will be for Trump to agree to end its extradition
request Huawei's CFO Meng Wanzhou, who has been arrested in Canada.
Meng is also the daughter of Ren Zhengfei.

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

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

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

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

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

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

****
**** Three objectives
****

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

** 28-Jun-2019 Generational Dynamics forum outage

At 11 pm ET on Thursday evening, forum web site host Newtek sent me a
message saying that the web site would go down for one or two hours.

Unfortunately, the period of down time extended to over 14 hours.

In addition, the data base was restored to a backup made several hours
earlier. This means that if you posted something on Thursday evening
(ET), then you may have to repost it.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

I was reading your book in the doctor's office and it got some attention. Apparently it means I'm a racist prick.

Dr. Chow did not approve, apparently?

MIT Lincoln Lab

The hostility being directed on a day to day basis towards Chinese
students on the MIT campus has become so great that MIT's president
has warned the entire MIT community against the growing "toxic
atmosphere" directed at Chinese students. However, it's quite
possible that this "toxic atmosphere" is within the Chinese community
itself.

MIT's president L. Rafael Reif sent a letter to the entire MIT
community entitled "Immigration is a kind of oxygen." Excerpts
follow:

<QUOTE>"MIT has flourished, like the United States itself,
because it has been a magnet for the world’s finest talent, a
global laboratory where people from every culture and background
inspire each other and invent the future, together.

Today, I feel compelled to share my dismay about some
circumstances painfully relevant to our fellow MIT community
members of Chinese descent. And I believe that because we treasure
them as friends and colleagues, their situation and its larger
national context should concern us all.

The situation

As the US and China have struggled with rising tensions, the US
government has raised serious concerns about incidents of alleged
academic espionage conducted by individuals through what is widely
understood as a systematic effort of the Chinese government to
acquire high-tech IP.

As head of an institute that includes MIT Lincoln Laboratory, I
could not take national security more seriously. I am well aware
of the risks of academic espionage, and MIT has established
prudent policies to protect against such breaches.

But in managing these risks, we must take great care not to create
a toxic atmosphere of unfounded suspicion and fear. Looking at
cases across the nation, small numbers of researchers of Chinese
background may indeed have acted in bad faith, but they are the
exception and very far from the rule. Yet faculty members,
post-docs, research staff and students tell me that, in their
dealings with government agencies, they now feel unfairly
scrutinized, stigmatized and on edge – because of their Chinese
ethnicity alone.

Nothing could be further from – or more corrosive to – our
community’s collaborative strength and open-hearted ideals. To
hear such reports from Chinese and Chinese-American colleagues is
heartbreaking. As scholars, teachers, mentors, inventors and
entrepreneurs, they have been not only exemplary members of our
community but exceptional contributors to American society. I am
deeply troubled that they feel themselves repaid with generalized
mistrust and disrespect.

The signal to the world

For those of us who know firsthand the immense value of MIT’s
global community and of the free flow of scientific ideas, it is
important to understand the distress of these colleagues as part
of an increasingly loud signal the US is sending to the world.

Protracted visa delays. Harsh rhetoric against most immigrants and
a range of other groups, because of religion, race, ethnicity or
national origin. Together, such actions and policies have turned
the volume all the way up on the message that the US is closing
the door – that we no longer seek to be a magnet for the world’s
most driven and creative individuals. I believe this message is
not consistent with how America has succeeded. I am certain it is
not how the Institute has succeeded. And we should expect it to
have serious long-term costs for the nation and for
MIT."<END QUOTE>

Like many universities, MIT has moved far left and is extremely
hostile to President Trump and 60 million Trump supporters, who have
been publicly referred to as "teabaggers," "racists," "deplorables,"
and so forth.

Nonetheless, Reif has to walk a fine line because his main job is to
beg for grants from agencies in the Trump administration. So the
above letter has soft criticisms of Trump's immigration policies, but
is careful not to incite further hatred against Trump supporters.

However, it's reasonable to believe that his letter is very wide
of the mark.

The fact that Reif felt compelled to write this letter at all
indicates how hostility has been growing nationwide towards Chinese
students, and to the Chinese diaspora in general. However, in the
case of MIT, the question is whether the source of that hostility is
Americans or other Chinese students. In the case of Americans
and Westerners in general, the question is whether the hostility
is directed at the Chinese people or the Chinese Communist Party (CVCP).

****
**** American attitudes towards the Chinese
****

Since the 1950s, Americans' public attitude toward has been almost
always favorable. In the 1960s, left-wing college students were
carrying Mao Zedong's Little Red Book of Quotations in their back
pockets, ready to be pulled out and used to lecture someone at any
time about the evils of capitalism, ignoring that Mao was responsible
at that time for tens of thousands of deaths from starvation, torture,
rape, beatings, and execution. For most Americans, China could do no
wrong. Even the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, which killed
thousands of peacefully protesting college students, didn't change
opinions much, but was considered by many to be just a kind of Chinese
peculiarity of the wonderful Chinese Socialist system, which was
opposed in their minds to the fascist American system.

Furthermore, when China was invited to join the World Trade
Organization (WTO) in 2000, it was hoped that this would make China a
part of the international community, and that China would become a
Western-style liberal democracy, instead of a fascist state like
America. That didn't happen, of course.

However, the West's favorable view of the Chinese has been continually
eroding since the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. This is because the
public has become aware of many things that indicate that the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) is actually a fascist criminal organization.
There are many such things, including the following:

• The Tiananmen Square massacre itself
• The brutal violence against the obviously harmless Falun Gong
• Violence against Tibetan Buddhists
• The attack on and downing of an American surveillance plane on
  April 2, 2001
• The "Nine-dash map" and bizarre claims to the South China Sea
• Demands that CCP select Dalai Lama replacement
• Demands that CCP select Catholic bishops
• Treating the WTO contemtuously by using it to manipulate trade,
  while ignoring the WTO rules
• Artificial islands and militarization of South China Sea
• Repeatedly lying and making ridiculous, laughable claims about the
  South China Sea
• Contempt for international law and Hague ruling
• Destruction of Christian churches
• Using students to infiltrate governments in Australia, New
  Zealand
• Sending tens of thousands of Chinese to work in American high tech
  firms, and steal intellectual property.
• Violence, beatings, rapes, torture and abductions of
  Christians
• Abducting free speech advocates in Hong Kong and sending them to
  Beijing
• Threatening massive military action against Taiwan
• Violence, beatings, rapes, torture and abductions of Uighurs and
  Kazakhs
• Locking up millions of Uighurs and Kazakhs in concentration
  camps
• The Social Credit Score system which is building up a giant data
  base of personal and surveillance information about every Chinese
  citizen
• Extending that database through hacking databases in other
  countries
• Participating in US-China trade talks for months, and then
  reneging on the agreements
• Passing the National Intelligence Law in 2017, which requires all
  Chinese people and businesses to cooperate with the military in
  stealing foreign intelligence, even when doing so is illegal
• Sending out Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei to make laughable claims
  that he would rather go to jail than obey an order by the Chinese
  military to install backdoors in their products
• Violence against pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong

I just started typing the above list at random, and I probably could
have added a hundred more items. The point is that these events have
entered the public consciousness over a period of 30 years, and
attitudes towards China and the Chinese have been deteriorating over
that period.

I wrote about this shift in public opinion in January, when
China-lover George Soros announced that he has turned against China
because of its religious persecution and particularly because of the
"Social Credit System," which "will subordinate the fate of the
individual to the interests of the one-party state in ways
unprecedented in history." ("27-Jan-19 World View -- George Soros speech at Davos marks significant global shift against China"
)

Another recent example was when Democratic party presidential aspirant
Joe Biden recently said that the US has nothing to fear from China,
and then had to walk that back a few days later. In the Democratic
party debates last week, there was lots of criticism of Trump, but not
of the China sanctions, as far as I could tell.

Perhaps the most remarkable sign of this change in attitude is that
there have been few serious objections domestically or internationally
to the Trump administration's harsh sanctions against China, including
tariffs, restrictions on Huawei, and arrest of the Huawei CFO,
although some farmers are being hurt.

**** MIT Lincoln Lab and security
****

Reif's letter briefly mentions issues related to national security,
and totally evades the issue. He says:

<QUOTE>"Looking at cases across the nation, small numbers of
researchers of Chinese background may indeed have acted in bad
faith, but they are the exception and very far from the rule. Yet
faculty members, post-docs, research staff and students tell me
that, in their dealings with government agencies, they now feel
unfairly scrutinized, stigmatized and on edge – because of their
Chinese ethnicity alone."<END QUOTE>

This is entirely the fault of the fascist Chinese government. It is
stated Chinese policy that China sends tens of thousands of students
and workers to the United States to collect intelligence information
from China's military, and under the 2017 National Intelligence Law,
every Chinese person and business is obligated to collect foreign
intelligence, even when doing so is against the law.

Reif says that "small numbers" of Chinese researchers may have "acted
in bad faith," but even Reif must realize how ridiculous this
statement is, since all we know about are the ones who were caught.
For all he knows, every person of Chinese descent working at Lincoln
Lab is working directly for the Chinese military, but just hasn't been
caught yet. This is where Reif's argument completely falls apart. The
CCP has forced Chinese citizens to be the targets of suspicion, so
Reif's letter should have been directed at China's government,
not to the MIT community.

There's a related matter, with regard to "back doors" being installed
in Huawei chips and devices. As I've described manyk times,
my personal experience spending five years implementing
board level operating systems for embedded systems has made it clear
that it would be easy for a Huawei engineer with the right skills to
install undetectable backdoors in Huawei chips. Huawei is also
required by China's National Intelligence Law, passed in 2017, to
fully cooperate with China's military in collecting intelligence, so
installation of these undectable backdoors is required by Chinese law.
These backdoors would permit China's military to control these
devices remotely.

Now I have the skills to do this, and there must be a lot of people at
MIT, Americans and Chinese, especially in the electrical engineering
department, who have these skills and are also aware of how easy it is
to do. So if there are Huawei devices brought into the classroom or
the lab, other students are going to wonder if these devices are being
used for spying or communicating with China's military. Reif's letter
says that "MIT has established prudent policies to protect against
such breaches," but the fact is that there are no policies, prudent or
otherwise, that can protect against undetectable backdoors.

The CCP has really screwed Chinese students in America by adopting
policies that make anyone of them a possible spy working for China's
military. This is doing enormous harm to Chinese students, and Reif's
letter can do nothing about it.

****
**** Hong Kong and Taiwan
****

I've written recently about the Hong Kong protests have exposed an
increasingly vitriolic split between northern and southern China.
Mandarin-speaking Beijing and Cantonese-speaking Hong Kong are,
respectively, the current political epicenters of the two sides.
("22-Jun-19 World View -- Hong Kong protests show historic split between northern and southern China"
)

I continue to see reports that suggest anecdotally that this split is
extremely serious and growing. Here's an extract from a recent
article appearing in Inkstone by a Hong Konger who met a Chinese girl
in a bar in Coventry, England, and they agreed to go out on a date:

<QUOTE>"The vibes were good at the start. Arrived on
time. Greetings. Drinks and snacks. And then, at some point, I
innocently uttered the phrase: “Because we from Hong Kong...” My
date, from mainland China, swiftly interrupted me. She raised her
voice and eyebrows, signaling how angry she was. She rapped the
table with her fingers and snapped: “Stop saying you are from Hong
Kong. You are Chinese and from China.”

I decided not to say “Hong Kong” for the rest of our conversation.
But she wouldn’t let it go. She derisively attributed Hong Kong
people’s denial of our Chinese identity to our low self-esteem. In
her mind, people from mainland China seem to be smarter and more
financially secure than their Hong Kong counterparts."<END QUOTE>

As he described, the evening became increasingly tense, and they
parted without even saying goodbye. Next day, she blocked him on both
WhatsApp and WeChat.

The north-south conflict goes far beyond thwarted love and romance.

Returning now to Rafael Reif's letter to the MIT community, one might
infer that he's criticizing the American male white patriarchy for
creating the "toxic atmosphere." But there are a lot of Chinese
students at MIT, and I wonder if the "toxic atmosphere"
is within the Chinese community.

As I've written in the past, my research for my book "War between
China and Japan" has revealed that the CCP wants a war of revenge
against Japan and a war of annexation against Taiwan, but does not
want a war with America, but consideres it necessary because America
will depend Japan and Taiwan. There's really very little hatred
between Americans and Chinese, while there is great hatred between
Chinese and Japanese, and between northern and southern Chinese.

So my conclusion is that the "toxic atmosphere" described in Reif's
letter is being created by Chinese and possibly Japanese, but not by
Americans.

This is my personal inference from the facts as I know them. Perhaps
more anecdotal evidence will emerge that clarifies the situation.

We in America and the West tend to believe that ethnic and racial
conflict is a thing of the past. However, what I've seen over and
over is that race is everything. Love doesn't make the world go
'round. Racial and ethnic political and military conflicts create the
"toxic atmosphere" that makes the world go 'round, and the Chinese and
Japanese are about to make the world spin a little bit faster.
