Hello again, Dear Reader,
For this edition of my gratis newsletter I want to share with you a selection from my book, Target China. I was invited to China for the first time in April, 2008, just before the much-anticipated Beijing Olympics and just after a CIA-instigated Color Revolution in Tibet designed to make the Beijing Government "lose face" before the world. That did not succeed.
Since that first visit, a promotion of the Chinese edition of my best-selling A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics, I have had the rare opportunity to return to China by now a total of sixteen times over almost a decade, to visit cities from north to south, from Shanghai to Chengdu to Kunming to Xi'an. In the course of my visits, discussions with Chinese intellectuals, former ministers, students and military strategists, I had an exceptional chance to see, with other eyes, vulnerabilities of the New China should Washington one day decide to "cut China to size."
My book, Target China, is the product of those observations, written in the form of describing a NATO effort at containing China and subduing her into the West's globalized New World Order. Now a new American President in Washington explicitly makes China a "target" of his policies. I hope you will find this portion of my book, Target China, written during the Obama term, useful to better comprehend our world today.
As always I converted the text to a pfd-file for a better reading experience which you can find in the attachment of this mail. It's 29 pages in A4 format.
Thank you again for your interest,
F. William Engdahl

Chapter Five:
Military wars—South China Sea, Indian Ocean and Pentagon’s ‘String of Pearls’ Strategy
China today, because of its dynamic economic growth and its determination to pursue sovereign Chinese national interests, merely because China exists, is becoming the Pentagon new “enemy image,” now replacing the false “enemy image” of Islam used after September 2001 by the Bush-Cheney Administration to justify the Pentagon’s global power pursuit. The new US military posture against China has nothing to do with any aggressive threat from the side of China. The Pentagon has decided to escalate its aggressive military posture to China merely because China has become a strong vibrant independent pole in world economics and geopolitics.
