[March 8, 2023](Reported by Epoch Times reporter Lin Yan) The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington think tank, has established an online translation of 200 recent Chinese (CCP) speeches, academic papers, and government documents Archives, revealing Beijing’s ambitions, fears, and how it assesses its own power.
The project, “Interpret: China,” is modeled on America’s precise reading of the Soviet leadership’s operations during the Cold War.
“We often rely on who and who has a view of China (the CCP), but we now want to stop and listen to the discussions, dialogues and discourses that are going on in China.” Jude Blanchette, co-director of the project and a China expert at CSIS, at explained on the website.
“Nikkei Asia” said that this database is changing the way analysts discuss China. On the morning of Monday (March 6), CSIS hosted an online discussion of a group of defense experts, asking participating experts to first read 87 pages of content translated from Chinese to English. Bai Ming selected three domestically published papers on US strategy.
Elbridge Colby, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Military Development of the U.S. Department of Defense, said after reading the paper that he was shocked by the complexity and accuracy of the Chinese analysis.
One of the documents, he noted, correctly reads that many of the actions the United States takes to establish deterrence are “defensive in nature and designed to maintain the status quo.”
Colby was the lead author of the Trump administration’s 2018 National Defense Strategy.
U.S. President Joe Biden said that the U.S. and China compete but do not want conflict.
Biden said publicly again in February: “We are not looking for a new Cold War.”
The Wall Street Journal reported that Beijing interprets Biden’s national security strategy, which emphasizes historical competition between democracies and autocracies, as a signal that Washington seeks regime change in China.
China Telecom Reminds: Western Politicians Take CCP Ideology Seriously
Matt Pottinger, deputy national security adviser of the Trump administration, reminded at a congressional hearing in February that the speeches of the CCP leaders in the party are the truth, and don’t take it for granted that the Chinese Communist Party is only communism in name .
Some of Beijing’s official rhetoric, especially to foreign audiences, is often confusing and ambiguous, Pomin said. But the most representative official speech is not what they say in Davos or the United Nations, but what these high-ranking officials say to their party subordinates. President Xi’s internal speeches are instructions for party believers, sometimes kept secret for months or years before publication.
These internal speeches include, Xi Jinping said that capitalism must fail and socialism will surely win. He said that a new world order is under construction that will surpass and replace the Western system. He even stated that there is no contradiction between fighting wars and seeking peaceful development, which is consistent with Marx’s view on war.
Yu Maochun, former chief China policy and planning advisor of the State Council, said in an interview with The Epoch Times that every major policy move of the CCP, whether domestic or international, is based on Marxist-Leninist ideology.
He said that one only has to read the speeches of the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party to realize this. Western policymakers, however, have not taken it seriously.
Yu Maochun once tweeted: “The formulation of the U.S. policy toward China is a complex and diverse process. An important reference is the words and deeds of the Chinese (CCP) government itself. Leaders and party media said that ‘the party, the government, the military and the people learn, the east, the west, the south, the north. In China, the party is the leader of everything’, government spokespersons and official media executives attack the United States every day, most of them are written in English, do you need a ‘traitor’ to point out that these are all jokes? The most important teacher for educating American politicians is China ( CCP) government itself.”
Fearing Yu Maochun’s insight and influence, the CCP media publicly insulted him as a “traitor”.
