[Robert Mugabe is a product of Communist China. The Chinese taught him and sponsored him. The tactics he uses in his country to control the black population are the same the Communist Chinese used during the “Cultural Revolution” where intellectuals and enemies of the state were wiped out.

Mugabe is no fool. One must give him credit – he knows which way the wind is blowing and he has said in recent years that he is turning towards Communist China. He is obviously feeling confident enough about China’s increasing strength, to come out and openly side with them.

Even President Mbeki has recently indicated that we in South Africa will be following China’s example. These are small but significant indications of changing loyalties as the smaller nations see the mighty USA weakening, and as more challenges arise against the USA. In my book, Government by Deception, I warned this would happen, and that if we ended up in a World War, most, if not all, of Black Africa will side with America’s enemies.

Taiwan and Apartheid South Africa were very close. We supplied them with missiles. One hopes the USA can help keep them going… But the Communist Chinese are waiting for the moment when they can wipe Taiwan off the map – and I have no doubt that day will come – sadly.

Note how the war on terror… is now diverting US forces to other tasks… and this is giving the Communist Chinese their chance. I believe… the War on Terror… is but the BEGINNING… of America’s enemies coming out of the woodwork… and that as time goes by… one will slowly and amazingly see… more and more nations quietly siding against the USA… and eventually… the USA will be busy on in so many places… it will struggle to fight on so many fronts at the same time. Wait… the Russians haven’t even made their move yet… Nor has Europe. This is the military concept of overloading the enemy’s defences… and I believe… this could happen. The next few years should prove to be extremely interesting. Jan]

The director of the US Central Intelligence Agency has warned that China’s military modernisation is tilting the balance of power in the Taiwan Strait and increasing the threat to US forces in the region.

Delivering the agency’s annual assessment of worldwide threats on Wednesday, Porter Goss, a former Republican congressman who was named in September to head the CIA, dropped any mention of the co-operative elements of the US-China relationship that characterised recent CIA statements. Instead, he said China was making determined military and diplomatic efforts to œcounter what it sees as US efforts to contain or encircle China.

Mr Goss’s statements on China were a small part of testimony that highlighted the threat Islamic terrorism poses to the US and emphasised concerns over Iran and North Korea. He has also said that he wants to refocus the agency on its traditional mission of assessing threats and avoid statements that could be interpreted as setting US policy.

But the statement on China indicated the CIA is paying growing attention to what it considers potential military threats amid China’s growing economic ties with its neighbours and the US. Mr Goss referred to US concerns over the increase in Chinese ballistic missiles deployed across the Taiwan Strait and the improvements in China’s nuclear and conventional capabilities.

The change in tone was notable given US concerns over Europe’s plan to end its embargo on arms sales to China. Experts on China said that, while warnings about China’s military capabilities were not new, the CIA had in the past underscored the co-operation between the US and China.

In testimony last year, George Tenet, former CIA head, praised China for co-operation in the war on terrorism and for its participation in the nuclear talks with North Korea. In 2003, Mr Tenet described US-Taiwan relations as relatively placid and said China was trying to assert its influence through œeconomic growth and Chinese integration into the global economy. James Lilley, a former US ambassador to China, said that, while it was appropriate for the CIA to focus on longer-term threats, the growing economic ties between China and Taiwan were making conflict less likely.

James Steinberg, deputy national security adviser in the Clinton administration, said: œIt is a little surprising that it didn’t say anything about the enormous emphasis China places on a stable international environment and constructive relations with the US.
