Major Chinese Espionage Revealed By Pentagon
As I read today (5/29/2013) in the Neue Zuericher Zeitung (german language), the Pentagon just acknowledged major thefts of high value military weapon systems secrets by Chinese spies.
Why Did The Evil Empire End Up On The Dust Heap Of History?
To put it succinctly, the command and control, totalitarian dictatorship known as the former Soviet Union in the end could not keep up with the USA or the West despite decades long theft of knowledge and intensive espionage (e.g. Venona project, Klaus Fuchs etc.).
Sun Tzu Meets Uncle Sam
Communist China is aspiring to become a global power and to assert itself whenever desired. Not surprisingly, they challenge the USA in any way possible not unlike the USSR during the Cold War.
The USA has become again a nation in unnecessary self doubt about recent military campaigns in the Middle East and Afghanistan. The current US President is a naive proponent of Zero Nukes.
The once roaring US economy is a shadow of its former self at least since 2000 with overall paltry economic growth and two recessions since then. Big government at every level have subjected the economy to European style statism and bloated welfare programs. Mired in fiscal profligacy and overloaded with public debt, the US maybe viewed as a paper tiger from across the Pacific.
A Blessing In Disguise
Ronald Reagan said that freedom is never one generation away from extinction. Let me add that a free market economy is even less than a generation away from being dismantled by our big government political class that does neither appreciate nor understand the benefits of a free market economy and limited government.
Thanks be to China to rattle the USA at this juncture to wake up, restore, and continue the Great, Exceptional Experiment!
