China’s Reaction: America Is A "Disgusting Thief Spying Over His Neighbor’s Fence"

Only hours ago the US government announced that a Chinese fighter jet had intercepted an American military patrol plane over international waters east of China’s Hainan Island.

A Pentagon spokesman called China’s actions “unsafe and unprofessional”, and blasted such unprovoked aggression.

There was no mention as to why a US surveillance plane was just off the Chinese coast to begin with. They’re just playing the victim… and rather loudly at that.

Needless to say, the Chinese government has a slightly different story. I asked one of our Sovereign Man team members in mainland China to translate the following article from Sina News.

The first part of the article praises the pilot’s skill and boldness, as well as the efficiency and superiority of Chinese aviation technology.

The Jian-11B fighter, in fact, is 100% Chinese. There is no foreign engine or major component.

As for the rest of the article– I present it below with only one comment– it should be obvious to anyone paying attention that the US is no longer the world’s dominant superpower. It’s certainly obvious to the Chinese.

——–
From Sina News

Stop thief: China rejects the U.S. government calling our aircraft “dangerously close”

Sure enough, it is the American government who stamps its foot first after a similar event.

First the famous anti-China military scholar Bill Gertz played his “danger close” speech for the Washington Free Beacon.

And then the Pentagon also followed and said that it was a “dangerous intercept”. The White House called it “deeply worrying provocation”.

Adm. John Kirby, the Defense Department spokesman, said Washington protested to the Chinese military through diplomatic channels, and called the maneuvers “unsafe and unprofessional.”

Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said it was “obviously a deeply concerning provocation and we have communicated directly to the Chinese government our objection to this type of action.”

Such remarks are laughable. As we all know, the United States is the world’s largest hegemonic force and biggest rogue country.

Their various reconnaissance aircraft have been wandering around foreign airspace for decades and watching the military secrets of other countries like a disgusting thief spying over his neighbor’s fence.

However, when the neighbor comes back with a big stick, the thief will turn tail and run away, blaming the neighbor.

When you show people weakness, they will bully you. When you show people strength, they will respect you.

We [the newspaper] believe the Chinese Air Force and Naval aviation should maintain a high level of vigilence and morale in southeast coastal region to prevent the further US action.

America has lost face and does not want to show the world they are sick. They have been lording over other countries for so long, and they will never let it go after they eat this loss.

I'm glad you like the hegemony becoz you are now just a serf for the Zionist who control the US government as well as the Fed. For over 100yrs you have been paying taxes to a private banking cabal and non of the tax dollars is used for the betterment of the citizens. 90+% of the funds hit the military industrial complex. In China, the tax revenues go back into society and help with infrastructure projects, health care, etc. How's Obozocare coming along? To put it mildly, American's have been brain washed to think that the hegemony is in American's interest, but the truth is, the citizens are nothing but bag holders as you serve the Zionist. Why do you think the US still provides $Billions in aid to Israel when clearly they own the Fed. Its a farking joke the way they are screwing the US day and night.

China's had its ups and downs, but one thing is certain, its a sovereign state that serves it citizen's. America is but a hostage nation of the Zionist agenda. If that was not true, why does the Fed print money and not the treasury considering the Fed is a private institution. Surely, only Federal agency is allowed to create legal tender? PBOC is Chinese Government Agency.

To add insult to injury, they removed the constitution and installed the Patriot Act! Now that's fascism/Nazism for you.

Instead of that whole rant you could've just said:

I'm a dumb cunt with no life that sits at home and reads infowars all day, I get all my knowledge from youtube so I have no clue what the hell I'm talking about..

The effect would've been the same.

Your projecting buddy...I'm not even an American. You have no idea what Nazism or communism is, do you? Have you ever experienced it? If you feel like a serf now, why not move to glorious China...live in a shoebox amidst toxic gasses and bus yourself to the foxconn plant everyday. See how much part officials like your incoherent babbling. Nothing that a few years in reeducation camps won't fix.

Be careful what you wish for, dumb little American. Just because you liked Ron Paul doesn't mean you have a clue.

Everything I've said is well documented and if you doubt the Fed is private, you can always check it up yourself. Sad thing is you dun even know you are getting farked day and night. How funny is that. For better or worse, I have no need to run the rat race, so I don't serve these mofos. You call it babbling, but the fact is unless we recognize the facts, we cannot evict the enemy. Clearly your not one of the enlighten ones on ZH. Sad for you I guess running around like a headless prat. But then you are entitled to being a serf. Hey we live in a (once) free country. Pity they imposed the Patriot Act on us.

Many American's are waking up to the facts I state and like all things, it only takes 3% of the enlighten population to create a revolution. The rest of the lemmings will follow. ZH I believe has many of the enlighten populace. Clearly you must be one of the exception, but like all lemmings you will come around some day.

If you seem so enlightened, pls elaborate where there is a US law that states you need to pay income tax. Even ex-IRS officers cannot locate that law! With regards to Ron Paul, pls don't insult him by mentioning him as you are clearly still embryonic.

Actually I spend months in China on business annually and the Foxconn factory you mentioned is run by the Taiwanese not the Chinese. They just supply the cheap labor. You see you are so ignorant, you cannot even present simple facts that are readily available.

Coming from a fan of the country that created the Cultural Revolution, with thousands of years' history of enforcing poverty and enshrining corruption, I'm not sure you understand your own government or ours. In China, whatever it is the tax revenuies are used for, the industrial engine makes damn sure there's a need for state-sponsored health care. How many billions of tons of carbon has China added to the atmosphere? Their own people are choking on the smog, dying from the water and eating lead in their food supply. Spare me the Han-worship please.

Considering that the CCP has perfected internet censorship, murdered its own citizens for daring to criticise (Tianmen and others), encouraged the deaths of hundreds of millions of baby girls with the one-child policy (to the point that men can no longer find wives), allowed industrial corruption on a scale that would embarrass Wall Street, ruined countless millions of hectares of land all over the globe with their rapacious exploitation of natural resources,...and the list goes on. You should take your pious outlook and go look in the mirror. The true reflection of today's China looks absolutely nothing like what you describe.

Just because we're fucking shit up badly, doesn't mean our enemies are our friends. It means we need to stop fucking shit up. Russia is not our friend and China is not our friend. And don't blame Zionism for the fact that Americans are asleep at the wheel. A country gets the leaders it deserves.

As for those "enemies", ask yourself how that happened. Enemies often arise as a consequence of unjustified interference. Something that America has a very long track record of doing Worldwide.

Not in the worker camps, bud. There, it's 'towing.' And if the sheep could actually think, they wouldn't elect pigheads. But who educates them? We deserve our current humiliation, and karma's a bitch. But not one person who considers him or herself an enemy of the USA really understands who the enemy is. It isn't the sheep. It isn't even most of the critical thinkers. The guilty party is everywhere, in every country, clinging to power by whatever device can be devised. Its what humans do.

If you think, though, that America is no longer the sleeping giant, stick in a pin. And see what happens to ya.

There, you're right. Americans got a taste of what fighting Asian Communists is like in Vietnam. The difference being that, with China, we're talking about 2 billions of the same kind of tough nuts, something truly worth pondering. So, if I were America, I would hail the fact this guys are not violent, only want to trade, and I'd f... leave well alone. For my health's sake.

If the US had not empowered China with so many of our factories moving to China, this military encounter would never have happened.  So much for 'FREE TRADE'.

Hopefully the halting all Chinese imports into the US, and every other foreign country too, will be the good that comes out of this.  That is of course, unless Obama imports a bunch illegal immigrants into the US, to steal all the new factory jobs from US workers.

Place about a 150'5 import tarrif on all goods manufactured in 'china  imported INTO THE U.S. See how long Apple stay there. Same with damn near everything else. They already have a bubble that makes ours look minescule - ghost cities etc. Default on the debt we owe them - Solly Charlie - kick all their sies out and pull all education visas Voter verification,cut off all "Entitlements to non U.S. citizens and watch the jobs come back in force. Everyone who is pissing and moaning about the U.S, might take a trip to these cuntries - not just the wine and dine corporate dog and pony shows, Go to Russia or China and see how the average citizen lives - then cme back and if you like it so much - pack up and move there. I have spent considerable time in both countries - THEY SUCK. WHAT TECHNOLOGY THEY HAVE IS RETTY MUCH STOLEN FROM THE U.S. Easy to bash the U.S right now because we have a fucked up Presidnet and Congress - but if the dumb asses in this country would actually vote in real competant peole - tis country could be a juggernaught in 5 years if the rght policies were put in place and we would get off this PC bullshit that has weakened up for the last 20 years

Way to handle this is to target some RE taxes on those multimillion dollar houses the Billionaire Chinese gubmint officals own here where their children reside. You can send the officials there a signal over the bow by first repossessing their kids' BMWs. I bet the gubmint officals there back down and maybe apologize. You can label the tax bill, "American-Asian Cooperative Tax Reform and Economic Stimulus Act."

The assertion that China is a military superpower that we now run from because they push back is beyond laughable. This assertion comes from the constant harping on this site that the dollar is no longer the reserve currency, untrue, that it will be replaced by the yuan or bitcoin, laughable, and that the USA is in decline. Althought it is very fashionable to say it is all over for the USA as the dominate country it  is not based in the facts. Thats another story. 

This story is a joke. The Chinese can not even build an aircraft carrier. They have bought 4 to 5 SMALL carrirers from other countries that were mothballed. One ONE is in service form a couple of months ago. There is still a problem as the Chinese don't even have a pilot that can actually land on a carrier. This is actually a highly developed skill that is necessary unlike posting on this site. Someday, maybe 20 to 30 years from now the Chinese will catch up to the US in military capabilities but that assumes the US sits on it's hands, not likely, and the Chinese don't fall apart internally, probably.

The US firepower right now is unbelievable. Our abilty to project firepower in the world is historic in nature. That being said we are in a parabolic technological move and I take nothing for granted. As Argentuina showed the British Exocets can hurt and those Exocets were play toys compared to what is now available. Again That being said the US leads the world in development of new weapon systems. My point is this constant wringing of the hands on how bad the US is, it is BS.

Re: "The Chinese can not even build an aircraft carrier."

Why WOULD they?  Why would we presume in our hubris that the Chinese military should somehow feel obliged to meet American standards?  Wouldn't that constitute stupid military strategy?  Study is one thing; modelling is another. Doesn't it seem more sensible to anticipate that Chinese will do what's right for China? 

I'm no strategist, but just as an example, can you imagine a campaign in narrow coastal straits where a traditional 20th-century supercarrier would be more effective than something smaller and faster and more economical?  Big carriers are easy torpedo targets, relics from the last century.  There's a reason why nations are jockeying for fifth-generation platforms. Everything else is passé.

Why would they waste billions on outdated military technology when they have no plans on conquering the world? Their aim is to control Asia. You don't need $10 billion aircraft carriers to do that when it's in your own backyard. If they plan to conquer South America or Europe, then those carriers might come in handy. 

With all of our projection of military power, we can't even handle a bunch of stone age tribes in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Chinese would have wiped them out in a few months.

Threatening to build 6 carriers to get the Americans to debt themselves to death would be smart. USA has 11, build a new one every 5 years, but 6 are in dock at any one time, same as the SSBN's where only 5 are on patrol any given time. 6 carriers in the China Sea would give China a big edge.

USA did it to the FSU. Spent them into a hole.

Then fight on another playing field, different tactics that make the carriers liabilities.

That would be Chinese way to do it...

10-15 years before China can contest the USA, but it has begun and this is as good as it gets it will only get worse with time. This is going to happen.

Keep in mind that the Chinese, once they get the hang of something, could one day begin to build 20 of these things and that would get everyone's attention. They have a slow learning curve and then one day they begin mass producing widgets. Motor scooters, fast trains, aircraft carriers, etc.

To those who say they - the many carriers and frigates - won't last, they don't need to. The USA built a carrier a month 1942-1945, and they did not need to last more than 3 years to be useful.

Not yet, within 10 or 15 years, but soon.

Actually, the big thief is Israel and its built-in collective of dual-citizen Sayanim spies in the US and around the world. Nice that we have been robbed by the "tribe" and it's political puppets since 1913, been lied to and had the borders opened by them for population displacement since 1965, and we have given them over 100 Billion USD in direct aid, and probably much more in indirect aid, and still they stab us in the back. They even have the chutzpah to push for freeing Jonathan Pollard(Jewish) for his extremely destructive espionage. No wonder they have continually worked to disarm US citizens for decades. TJB.

This sort of thing happened so often during the Cold War that the incidents rarely got public notice. Brinksmanship between the Air Forces and Navies of the United States and Soviet Union became a fine and practiced art. I wonder at all the surprise and hurt feelings that are expressed by the United States.

The proper response for the US Navy should come in 2 parts:

Remind the Chinese of the rights and privileges afforded to international air and sea passage beyond the territorial limits of sovereign nations. Beyond 100 kilometers from a nation's coast, ships and planes from other countries can linger or pass through as much what they want. These are international waters/airspace; and the US Navy is going to continue to travel in them at will. We do not and should not recognize the extended zones of defense beyond these limits, which the Chinese have proclimed and are trying to enforce.

The US Navy should provide fighter escorts to their reconnaissance planes as they fly their routes in international waters; and should have a US Navy carrier group patrolling in the sea beneath these routes. This activity should go on for as long as the Chinese forces wish to accompany/escort our planes and ships.

If, as may be the case, that the US Navy has committed so many resources to the Ukraine/Syria/Iraq area of operations, that it can't defend its rights of international passage, then it should stay away from such demonstrations of force until it has realigned its forces appropriately.

No.  We want the American people to win.  Main Street.  It is just that the Fed and now the government only serve Wall Street, so there is no reason to support either anymore.  As far as i can see, the Western banking and financial system is wholly corrupt beyond repair.  I've been hoping for quite some time they'd do the right thing, but instead they universally try to bully the system against fundamentals.  Ultimately, they've been playing checkers against chess players (who have $4T USD ForEx, $1.1T UST and maybe 14K tons of gold, which they continue to accumulate as our bankers try to bully it down).  

 

We are at the endgame.  The financial sector did more damage to this country than any terrorist ever could and (it will eventually be clear) committed greater treason than anyone in history.

Washington DC is not America, it does not represent the best interests of the American people...any of them. it is in fact a hive of delusional, self important ingorant control freak psychopaths who are dangerously out of touch with any kind of reality. they do not care about this republic, individual freedoms, civil liberties or the good faith and credit of the United States.

do not make the mistake of equating us wanting Washinton to fail with wanting America to lose...these are two entirly seperate things.

it is the most essential function of any patrariot to question everything that our massive central government says and does. to simply give ones loyalties to such an entity without question, even when there actions are obviously to the detriment of all of us, is not being loyal to your country. espcially given how many times this Washington has been caught lying, decieving, spying, abducting, murdering and surpressing it's own citizens for the past 60 years or more.

and if in the course of calling Washington out on it's wrongs we happen to agree, strongly, with the posistions taken by another country in opposistion to DC that does not make anybody a tratior. that's just freedom of speech and association which is essential to any society that claims to be free.

accusing people of being unfaithful,unloyal or tratiors because they do not want a dangerously destructive and overreaching central goverment to succeed in thier goals has been a tool used to repress dissent throughout the ages. are you sure this is your own opinion, or could it be maybe you just don't yet realize this is exactly the way they have been conditioning you to think from the day you were born?

Yes the Su-27 series developed since the 1990s including this striped down F-11B. Actually the article is mostly a discussion of technical developments written by a so-called 'Yang ji' military blogger for the Sina's new 'indepth' military column and is more interesting than the rather defensive commentary at the end about the US. The general gist or warning to his readers by the author is that the US can not back away now that they have been provoked. Most of the comments on weibo centre on the tech part.

Actually the title of Simon's article is a sentence towards the end taken a bit out of context. It refers to the NSA (not by name but in general) spying disclosures and the need for the military to remain vigilent and not be 'bullied'. The original title is very straight forward and the article, unexceptionally, evinces a patriotic slant on the success of the new aircraft and skilled pilot. The author praises the Hainan South China Naval Aviation fleet and says that 'in the near future' there will be three groups located there including 'over 70 J--11B / BS heavy fighter guards, supplemented by a group of JH -7A "Flying Leopard" fighter-bombers as the assault force.'

As I implied, the article is generally defensive in tone. I have read more provocative and hyperbolic lapsap by the military clowns the gov. lets out of the kennel when they have a 'domestic' problem.

Yes, the 'body'--now composite materials to improve thrust to weight ratios. According to the author, the -11B used the Russian AL-32F engine but in 2010 with refinements to the 'Taihang' engines this plane used the thrird generation modification and 'proves' the Taihang is now stable. Also the plane has other modifications or bells and whistles apparently.Well, that is one test. I hope they are not 'thin-skinned' about it all.

"Blue water navy" talk is a little too 19th century to be taken seriously.

Lob a nuke-tipped missile 200nmi in front of a carrier battle group, and indicate that the next one will be aimed at the flight deck; all of asudden the "blue water navy" is exposed for what it is - a hugely expensive set of floating targets that exist to aggrandise retarded geriatric fuckwits (like McCain).

 

Google "Van Riper" or "Millennium Challenge 2002": a carrier battle group facing a sensible enemy is basically dead in the water. And unlike MC2002, "Blue" doesn't get to re-float its boats.

the usa, along with israel, is the number 1 terrorist state in the world ruled by ziocons and other rothschild israeli minions.

Taiwan was recently a part of China - I can't recall Iraq Afghanistan Georgia Ukraine Somalia Yemen Libya et al. ever having been a part of the US.

There are millions of chinese people who have come to the USA over decades. remember the words of the song "first we take manhattan"? well wiki is going to be out of date but from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_American the number of chinese doubled between 1980 and 1990 (ten years from c., 800,000 to c. 1.6m) and more than doubled again from 1990 to 2010 (twenty years from c. 1.6m to 3.3m). 

I would not be at all surprised that in the last 3 years, the number of chinese buying places to play in the US has continued to grow at a fast pace, putting the population at c. 4m, making an increase of 2.4m in the last 24 years.

There have been changes of president, senate and congress in the US and the paramount leader, national people's congress (3,000 elected members, largely of the communist party) and the state coucil over that time, but to be picking a fight with a country with which the US has exchanged vast amounts of labor and capital seems a somewhat dubious path to being good "howdy neighbor" policy (best toolman tim accent).

As with the sentiments in 1984 (originally titled 1948, but too close to the time of its writing) there is a dark side to human nature and a light side. The dark side would say that of the 2.4m who have entered the US and the (guesstimate) 500,000 US citizens that have entered China over the last 24 years, probably around 1% (guesstimate) are spying; i.e. observing, passing sensitive information inlduing trade secrets and technologies. 

Without each countries military and espionage networks, people probably would get along and have a good time, by visiting each others countries and making friends. You don't make friends by either sabre rattling or meddling in each others affairs. 

Both the US and China have nuclear weapons and a space industry.

As far as I know, taking out the top 50 US or Chinese cities effectively returns that country to the stone age. The Chinese do have an aircraft carrier in service today, well kind of an aircraft carrier.

The Chinese weapon is not going to be military hardware. It is going to be population software, that is, Chinese people will migrate, The US has been a willing recipient of the money of the more wealthy Chinese (now numbering around 1/5 of the population or c. 300 milllion, which coincidentally equals the population of the US).

San Francisco had c. 20% Chinese ethnicity back in 2010. I wouldn't be surprised if this was now between 25% to 30%. Nice for real estate for people who want to move out, but a pig for those who want to buy a first home. 

(Thanks to Wiki, I will donate for as long as your facts aren't propaganda).

They'd still be riding bicycles and eating puppies if it weren't for all the information they've stolen from the West. lol

The Chinese pilot wanted to defect.

 

The Orion probably scanned the airframe.

 

Now we know the resonant frequency for HAARP mass air defense.

Hey China, don't take it personal...I got a couple spying over my fence and I'm in the USA. They're not too dangerous, just a little pervy. If you have daughters just keep em inside....and close the blinds while you and the missus have a go.

Dear Chinese People at Sina News:

If you think you have a Snowball's Chance In Hell of taking on the United States Air Force with your relatively puny homemade fighter jets you are so very sadly mistaken.

The United States Air Force will kick your collective asses into next week.

Don't even think of getting into a military engagement with the United States or we'll show you just how pissed off we can get.

Then we find out who really are the "sick" ones.

Trust me. You really don't want to see that.

You have been warned.

Why would China even bother with a military conflict all she has to do is dump the bonds - game over.
