The AFF fear of the Yellow Peril reveals their racist obsession with American control.

Revised Version of “Yellow Peril” and “China Threat” by American Hegemonism since 21 st Century, with the Inheritance from and Development to Its Predecessors With the entering into 21 st century, the revised version of “Yellow Peril” and “China Threat” by American hegemonism mainly took the form of the Annual Report to Congress: Military Power of the People’s Republic of China released by U.S. Department of Defense and the annual report released by the United States-China Economic and Security Review Commission37 . They could be fairly deemed as the official American versions of “Yellow Peril” and “China Threat” on the highest level, at the highest frequency and with the biggest influence for the past 11 years. They are the outcome of the following triple sources: American Congress, the U.S. Department of Defense and various high-ranked think tanks. 38 As is well known, there long existed a group of hawkish anti-China Congressmen in American Congress, who, from perspectives of extreme ideology, narrow interests of their constituencies and their personal interests, always proposed various unfriendly or even hostile policies against China. With their decision-making power on budgetary allocations, they also often thrust their personal preferences into budgetary bills and authorization acts. Report regarding Military Power of PRC is right according to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 200039 adopted by American Congress. Under this Act, American Department of Defense is therefore under a “legal responsibility” to annually synthesize and compile all military intelligences regarding PRC collected through all kinds of methods (including various vile spying measures) into a comprehensive report to American Congress. It is after the review by Congressmen that the Department of Defense could receive budget for military expenditures from the Department of Treasury. The departmental interests of American Department of Defense could be easily discerned in this regard. As is mentioned above, after the Cold War was over, it was always the inertial thinking of “curious” Americans – and certainly a major task for American Department of Defense – to find a definite and powerful new “threat”. And China is the new “serious threat” on security that Americans have been endeavoring to establish. 40 As compared to other reviewing the sharp disclosure of famous German historian H. Gollwitzer, as well as the frank confession of senior American diplomat G. F. Kennan. As is mentioned above, “Yellow Peril” slogan “indistinctly revealed certain basic characteristics of imperialist thoughts ”: “ It is more often an instrument to fool and agitate the people, means to instigate people into evil business, or excuse to defend themselves. ” “[Americas] have created immense vested interests in the maintenance of a huge armed establishment in time of peace and in the exportation of great quantities of arms to other peoples – great vested interests, in other worlds, in the cold war.” “So great a military economy requires constant justification, and this… leads to an almost automatic and systematic overrepresentation of the military potential of the supposed adversary, thereby heightening the suspicion of that adversary, and the fear and antagonism addressed to him, in our [American] population.” See: supra notes 8, 32 and their relating texts. As is known to all, Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. In 1950, the U.S sent out its powerful Seventh Fleet for a direct invasion into Taiwan Strait of China, seriously threatening and thwarting the great cause of China’s reunifications. When it established diplomatic relations with PRC in 1979, America played as a double-dealer “with two faces”. On the one hand, it officially recognized Government of PRC as the sole legal government of China (“ One-China Principle” for short) in the Communiqué on the Establishment of Sino-U.S. Diplomatic Relations . departments of U.S. Government, officials of Department of Defense always stress more on the “threat” posed by PRC, and sometimes their Defense Secretary is himself the major figure to preach “China Threat” (as was the former Secretary Donald Rumsfeld). The most intolerable thing to China is that for every year, in a flagrant yet rude way, there are descriptions on specific points and of wide coverage with regard to China’s Taiwan district in this Report, which irresponsibly criticize and interfere with China’s domestic affairs, rampantly support the splitting forces in Taiwan, spare no effort to thwart the great course of China’s reunifications, and cause damage to China’s core interests. 41 The main reason that Report of China’s Military Power could rouse high attentions from various parties rests with its political influence. On the other hand, it acted perfidiously in Taiwan Relations Act , publicly betrayed “ One-China Principle” and wantonly interfered with China’s internal affairs. The Act claims that “It is the policy of the United States to consider any efforts to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States” [U.S.Code,Chapt.48,Section 3301 (b) (4),available at www.taiwandocuments.org/tra02.htm ]. By shielding and supporting certain forces in Taiwan endeavoring to split China, the U.S. continuously threatened and thwarted the great course of China’s reunifijication. Moreover, American Department of Defense was obliged to provide an Annual Report on Military Power of the PRC to the Congress according to the above-mentioned National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000, in which the (3), (4), (5) and (8) points of Section 1202(b) are specifically on the internal afffairs of China regarding Taiwan region. All these could boil down to the following remark: To judge by the common sense of contemporary international law, isn’t it quite obvious that who is the actual threatener, while who is actually the one being threatened ? As is mentioned above that peeling off the covering, it could be found that the essence and core of various “Yellow Peril Doctrines” lie at the preaching and justification of invading into China, excluding Chinese, opposing against China and containing China; and such exclusion, opposition and containment always come before and lead to a final invasion . Consequently, it could be held a same view, assessment, and prediction towards the 21 st century versions of “Yellow Peril” and “China Threat”, which have been repeatedly advocated by American hawkish anti-China Congressmen, by the annual Report of China’s Military Power and annual Report of U.S.-China Economic and Security, as well as by the echoing of various Medias along with them
