Plan Red

Autor Gordon G Chang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – oct 2024

Relevanța acestei lucrări pentru specialiștii în securitate națională, studenții la relații internaționale și analiștii de politici publice este imediată, oferind o perspectivă critică asupra tensiunilor dintre Washington și Beijing. În Plan Red, autorul Gordon G Chang prezintă o teză alarmantă: regimul de la Beijing nu doar că se pregătește pentru un conflict, ci desfășoară deja un război asimetric pe multiple fronturi. Apreciem modul în care Chang sintetizează acțiunile recente ale lui Xi Jinping — de la stocarea de cereale și materii prime până la epurările din rândul cadrelor militare — ca fiind indicatori clari ai unei tranziții către o economie de război. Subliniem că volumul nu se limitează la analiza militară clasică, ci investighează modul în care interacțiunile economice și sociale au fost transformate în vulnerabilități. Stilul este direct, incisiv și construit pentru a provoca o reevaluare a politicii de „angajament” practicată în ultimele trei decenii. Găsim în această carte o documentare a modului în care centralizarea puterii sub Xi Jinping marchează o întoarcere spre maoism și izolaționism xenofob. Acoperă o arie tematică similară cu The Politics of Terrorism, Third Edition, de Michael Stohl, însă abordarea lui Chang este mult mai specifică și axată pe geopolitica marilor puteri, spre deosebire de cadrul teoretic și sociologic al terorismului prezentat de Stohl. Dacă Planetary Politics de Stephen Eric Bronner explorează globalizarea ca o întreprindere planetară progresivă, Plan Red oferă o perspectivă opusă, avertizând asupra modului în care aceleași mecanisme globale sunt utilizate pentru a destabiliza o democrație din interior. Este o lectură esențială pentru înțelegerea riscurilor de securitate contemporane.

Descriere

"A much needed wake-up call that China assumes that it is open season on Americans." --Victor Davis Hanson "There is a Red Storm rising in the East--and America is already under assault from the Chinese Communist Party." --Lou Dobbs "THE EAST IS RISING AND THE WEST IS DECLINING" --Xi Jinping, 2020 Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, chairman of the Central Military Commission and the president of the People''s Republic of China, wants to shape the world in China''s image, and in his conception of the world there is no place for the United States or even the current international order. Noted China analyst Gordon G. Chang warns that Xi Jinping believes he must destroy America to accomplish his objectives. And that Xi already has a plan to do it! Xi reveres Mao and is marching China back to Maoism. He is reinstituting totalitarian social controls, demanding absolute political obedience from everyone, and cutting foreign links. Closing China off from the world is an essential element of his plan to save the communist system. His isolationism and xenophobia evoke policies from the earliest years of the People''s Republic and during the two millennia of imperial rule. And Xi can''t stop talking about war. More significantly, he is implementing the largest military buildup since the Second World War, he is trying to sanctions-proof the Chinese regime, he is stockpiling grain and other commodities, he is surveying America for strikes and sabotage, he is mobilizing China''s civilians for battle, and he is purging China''s military of officers opposed to going to war. While America''s elite thinks their country is at peace, China''s regime is waging its brand of war. The Chinese regime has deliberately killed Americans in great numbers this century--with disease and in other ways--and it has a plan to destroy America. The communist party-state in fact believes it must eliminate the United States to ensure its own survival. And to accomplish its goals, the regime is now fast mobilizing to go to war. China is preparing to plunge the world into conflict. In PLAN RED: China''s Project to Destroy America, Chang argues: China''s campaign against America excludes nothing and uses every point of contact with American society to destroy it. China has been attacking America from inside America! China''s penetration of American society has been so thorough that the Communist Party has been able to kill Americans with impunity Xi turned an in-country epidemic into a once-in-a-century pandemic. This is the first time in history that one nation has attacked all the others. The Communist Party is using all its resources to support criminal activity in America, and Americans are dying as a direct result of those activities. Xi Jinping''s China is preparing to go to war. Not just "unrestricted war" or political war but "hot war" or "kinetic war," in other words, war as Americans see it in the movies. And China''s regime is planning to kill Americans in even greater numbers. It is marching the country to war. Americans, in the triumphalist mood after the fall of the Soviet Union, thought they should establish contacts with China. Now, the Chinese regime uses every point of contact against America, and at the moment the regime is overwhelming American institutions. The FBI is being overwhelmed, local law enforcement is being overwhelmed, governments at all levels are being overwhelmed, and private organizations are being overwhelmed. After more than three decades of intensive "engagement," it is clear Washington''s generous approach has failed. America has not changed China, as everyone now realizes; China has changed America. Chang believes it is time to take a page from Ronald Reagan''s playbook and work to bring down the enemy: the Communist Party. The Communist Party often talks about "win-win" solutions, but as its actions make clear, it believes there can be only one survivor, either the People''s Republic of China or the United States of America. In this situation, there is only one solution: America needs to sever virtually every point of contact with the regime. As much as the United States wants to avoid war, China, for a host of internal reasons, is driving hard toward it. And should China ultimately choose war, the United States will almost certainly be in the fight. China has a plan to destroy America. Does America have a plan to defend itself?
