Chinese troops are being
trained for war with the United States, using methods freely handed over
to them by the U.S. Army.
According to an official
Chinese military publication, the U.S. Army invited representatives
of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to visit an Army base and observe
the mock war exercises in which our troops, tabbed the "Blue Army," fight
"enemy" troops using the most up-to-date tactics and strategy.
China's military digest,
the Beijing Junshi Wenzhai, said the Chinese went home loaded with valuable
information about how the U.S. would engage the PLA in the event
of a war.
The digest reported that
Chinese military officials visited the U.S. Owensburg National Training
Center in August 1985 and observed "the sharp exchanges between the troops
and a simulated opposition force. ...
"After the Chinese group
of representatives returned home to China, they made a special report to
the Central Military Commission," the digest added. "In March of
the next year, based on authorization from the CMC, the Nanjing Military
Region [in southern China, responsible for the Taiwan Strait] formally
organized a combined tactics training center. At this point, China
then had its first 'Blue Army' base."
At a secret base in China's
eastern Anhui province, "Training is held strictly in accordance with the
commands and orders used in foreign armies and their training formats,
with even the mess hall using knives and forks [similar to those in the
U.S.]. ... The current base commander, General Xiao Deqiao,
intimately knows that modern warfare is warfare of information and mechanization.
The base has been able to bear the tasks of scientific research and experimentation,
specialized project consolidated training and combined tactics theory research.
"At the 'Blue Army' base
all the troops [live by the code] "Here we face the battlefield of the
future." They use specialized methods to [sharpen] each group of incoming
Red Army troops into [well-honed] blades, whose brilliance will shine in
all directions."
The digest reports, "In
today's Chinese Army, there is a 'Blue Army' base specializing in simulating
the war tactics of foreign militaries in order to compel our army in counter
operations to 'Know the Enemy' and therefore 'Defeat the Enemy.'"
The publication leaves
no doubt that the "enemy" is the United States, which generously taught
China how to train its troops to fight us in a future war.
