Beijing devoted to weakening 'enemy' U.S., Chinese high level defector says.

China's communist leaders view the United States as their main enemy and are
working in Asia and around the world to undermine U.S. alliances, said a
former Chinese diplomat.

Chen Yonglin, until recently a senior political officer at the Chinese
Consulate in Sydney, Australia, said in an interview that China also is
engaged in large-scale intelligence-gathering activities in the United
States that, in the past, netted large amounts of confidential U.S.
government documents from agents.

"The United States is considered by the Chinese Communist Party as the
largest enemy, the major strategic rival," Mr. Chen told The Washington
Times in a telephone interview from Australia, where he is in hiding after
breaking with Beijing in May.

All Chinese government officials are ordered to gather information about the
United States, "no matter how trivial," he said. "The United States occupies
a unique place in China's diplomacy," Mr. Chen said.
....
Most Chinese government activity in the United States involves
information-gathering carried out by military-related intelligence officers
or civilians linked to the Ministry of State Security, Mr. Chen said.

"I know that China once got a heavy load of confidential documents from the
United States and sent it back to China through the Cosco ship," Mr. Chen
said, referring to the state-owned China Ocean Shipping Co.

The information was "very useful" to China's military and related to
"aircraft technology," he said.

The Chinese also send political police abroad to monitor overseas Chinese
and others in North America who Beijing considers opponents of the regime,
he said.
....
On China's military buildup, Mr. Chen said Beijing is following the strategy
of former leader Deng Xiaoping, who urged China to "bide our time, build our
capabilities" -- military as well as economic and political. "What that
means is that when the day is mature, the Chinese government will strike
back," he said.

Mr. Chen said the danger of a war over Taiwan is growing. "That is possible
as Chinese society is getting more unstable," he said. "Once any serious
civil disobedience occurs, the government may call for a war across the
Taiwan Strait to gather [political] strength from people."
....
Two other Chinese government officials also defected recently in Australia
and have revealed Chinese government spying activities.

Special Report By Bill Gertz
Part 1: Chinese Dragon Awakens

China is building its military forces faster than U.S. intelligence and
military analysts expected, prompting fears that Beijing will attack Taiwan
in the next two years, according to Pentagon officials.
....
"In the '07-'08 time frame, a capability will be there that a year ago we
would have said was very, very unlikely. We now assess that as being very
likely to be there."
....
"We may be seeing in China the first true fascist society on the model of
Nazi Germany, where you have this incredible resource base in a commercial
economy with strong nationalism, which the military was able to reach into
and ramp up incredible production," a senior defense official said.
....
The official said China's buildup goes beyond what would be needed to fight
a war against Taiwan.
....
For China, Taiwan is not the only issue behind the buildup of military
forces. Beijing also is facing a major energy shortage that, according to
one Pentagon study, could lead it to use military force to seize territory
with oil and gas resources.
....
Chinese President Hu Jintao has called this strategic vulnerability to
disrupted energy supplies Beijing's "Malacca Dilemma."
....
The report stated that China will resort "to extreme, offensive and
mercantilist measures when other strategies fail, to mitigate its
vulnerabilities, such as seizing control of energy resources in neighboring
states."
....
"We are now in an arms race with a new superpower whose goal is to contain
and overtake the United States."

Part 2: Thefts of U.S. technology boost China's weaponry

China is stepping up its overt and covert efforts to gather intelligence and
technology in the United States, and the activities have boosted Beijing's
plans to rapidly produce advanced-weapons systems.

"I think you see it where something that would normally take 10 years to
develop takes them two or three," said David Szady, chief of FBI
counterintelligence operations.

He said the Chinese are prolific collectors of secrets and military-related
information.
....
"What keeps us up late at night is the asymmetrical, unofficial presence."
....
At a time when U.S. counterintelligence agencies are facing an array of
foreign spies, the Chinese are considered the most effective at stealing
secrets and know-how.

"They are way ahead of what the Russians have ever done."
