On this episode of China Uncensored, tensions maybe mounting in the South China Sea
but it's important for everyone to keep a cool head and remember that at the end of the day, World War III is inevitable.
Oh and it's American's fault!
Hi, welcome to China Uncensored, I'm your host Chris Chappell.
Yes! America will start World War III with China.
At least that's the message from China's hawkish state-run media Global Times.
Global Times has been on this message for a while now.
Back in 2014, they released this editorial,
"Starting the Third World War may no longer be just an illusion."
Many Chinese people, it suggests, are in fact fooled by the illusion of peace.
You see, in 2013 Global Times conducted a survey of adults in major Chinese cities.
They found that "53.1% were still basking in the belief that the relationship between China and the U.S. is one of allies or friends.”
Obviously, most Chinese people are wrong.
But not to worry! When people have a wrong opinion, it's the job of state-run media to correct that opinion.
After all, you have to make sure Chinese people have the correct attitude towards America.
So in response to their own survey,
the Global Times informed readers that the U.S. is in fact, only a "fake friend" of China
and is actually preparing to start World War III.
"Fake friends", you see.
They talk about peace and pretend to be friends.
“So I ask everybody to join me and...
drinking to...
prosperity...
to peace...
and to partnership...
between China and the United States.
Gan Bei.”
Lies speeding from his mouth!
Whereas China has always been forthright about its intention.
“China is a resolute force for maintaining regional peace.”
See!
Furthermore, that Global Times article reveals how
"The U.S. military's tentacles extend continuously around China:
to the east in Japan and South Korea, to the south in Thailand and Singapore, and to the west in Afghanistan.'
It's obvious now, isn't it?
America's so called "War on Terror" in Afghanistan is really about surrounding China.
And America's "irresponsible and dangerous" actions in the South China Sea show just how belligerent America is becoming.
America is clearly threatening to start World War III over China's legal island building.
Just listen to this:
“And the truth is, China is going to be successful.
It's big. It's powerful.
Its people are talented and they work hard, and...
it may be that some of their claims are legitimate.
Well,
that makes exactly fighting words.
But, at least we're taking bold actions when it comes to the Chinese military hacking U.S. government computers
or when PLA Army Colonel Qiao Liang (乔良) describes how China will attack United State
through unrestricted warfare with no rules and nothing forbidden.
Oh. Wait. What's that Shelley?
Oh!
Apparently the only thing we've done is indict a few people for espionage.
Anyway, the Global Times clarifies that the U.S. realizes, China is a rival and is jealous.
“Once the world learns that the 'American Dream' is no longer the best choice, the 'China Dream' will become the model for the world to follow.”
Yes, the 'China Dream' that China's wealthy is aspired, too.
Wait! This just in.
Ah! It all makes sense now!
China's wealthy ain't moving to America because America is better than China.
As this newly discovered engraving from 3,000 years ago shows,
the Chinese were already in America long before the Europeans.
And under China's long-standing, we will hear first policy that makes America Chinese's territory.
Now I understand John Kerry's toast.
It's not lies. It's fear!
Umm. So… to peace and prosperity.
“Gan bei.”
What do you think?
Is war inevitable or is there some kind of middle ground that we could build upon in this sea of rhetoric?
