Media Still Wrong About China Lev Navrozov
Friday, June 10, 2005
The target of my column two weeks ago (http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/5/26/195554.shtml) was the Newsweek article of May 5, 2005, "Does the Future Belong to China?" The author did not contemplate a war with China. Good heavens, no! But the article was, including its title, full of thunderbolts, as compared with the previous silence over the years when the mainstream media pretended that China did not exist except for pleasures like Beijing duck that Americans who were lucky enough to be tourists in China could relish.
However, the message of the Newsweek article was typical for May 5, 2005: Whether or not the future belongs to China, the latter would continue to be peaceful.
Now an article in the June 2005 Atlantic Monthly is entitled "How We Would Fight China." Whether there will be a Sino-American war is no longer a question. The question is, as of June 2005, how we will fight China.
When the study "Interpreting China's Grand Strategy: Past, Present and Future" was published in 2000, no one publicly visible or audible noticed it. In June 2005, this 308-page paperback, published in 2000, is on sale again for a stiff price: $40.
