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

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.

Not enough, dumping all the Fannie/Freddie bonds with the Russians would have done it when the USA was on the ropes. Weaker, system was about to snap, and more money involved.
Once you play your card, you no longer have it.
Having it and keeping it as an option as leverage is a better strategy than acutally using it.
The threat of M.A.D. is more effective than the implementation.
When they do this the USA will be on the ropes, weak, and at that momen the USA will be finished. It won't make sense to do it before then.
The US doctrine is full spectrum dominance - the mad men in Washington haven't believe in mutually assured destruction for decades.
Hubris and chest beating is a juvenile attempt to overcome fear, uncertainty and doubt. Take a deep breath, China owns our ass, get over it. "Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception." George Orwell
"Cowardice is the perceived failure to demonstrate sufficient mental robustness and courage in the face of a challenge.
Persons who demonstrate cowardice are called cowards, and are usually seen to have avoided or refused to engage in a confrontation or struggle which has been deemed good or righteous by the wider culture in which they live."

I will suggest some reading for you, start with Sun Tsu, The Art of War and learn to know your enemy. Then read Nicolo Machiavelli, The Prince and the discourses, you will learn how to keep power and maintain power. You also need to know or better yet be taught that bellicose bullshit goes nowhere. Good luck.
The goal could even be right a priori, but if the tool chosen is inadequate or the destruction is huge in comparison with the returns, the goal is not achieved or, in any case, there will be no advantages at all.
The problem then will be not only ethical but a logical one, because using inadequate tools, wrong instruments, pushes the error beyond intentions.
Every decision will have a benefit but also a cost, that is to say, tools and actions have to be planned taking all possible effects into account.
The goal will justify the means IF the results worth it, considering the relation cost-benefit from an ETHICAL point of view specifically, and not from any point of view.
That will be, more or less, Macchiavelli and also Sun Tzu, which IS NOT what the US and NATO have been applying lately (it's been years and years, now).
And that's why they're loosing legitimacy worldwide. They've placed themselves on the WRONG ethical side. They've lost all credibility.
At this point, the only way to mantain power is BRUTAL FORCE and THAT DOESN'T LAST LONG. Persistence in the use of brutal force leads a path to self destruction.
Maybe it is just a statement of fact.
One day China will be able to match the USA.
That day is not today.
Generals are always fighting the last war.
China already beaten America. They co-opted their leadership and business interests and turned them traitor. Take a look at Detroit and tell me it isn't a bombed out shell. Just watch that spread to the what remains of the US. Go take a look at everything you own. What still has "Made in America" stamped on it?
Einstein was wrong. World War III is an economic war and the weapons are Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride

I think taxing Chinese imports is not a bad idea. Also a tax on any foreign purchases of USA RE just as they do in HK now.
Too bad the chinese pilot did'nt blast the P8 out of the sky.
Do you think the Chinese [or the Russians] appreciate the extent to which the US government/media/banking matrix has been hijacked by Israel and its mostly, but not exclusively, Jewish Zionist 5th column sayanim?
If they did know - would that portend a tactical weakness or advantage?
Hi, I'm simon black. I learned about this incident while renting a house in down town China for $2,000USD a month! Here that folks? DOWN TOWN CHINA!!!! Since I rented a house here for a month, I'm dialed into the culture of China and have a really good idea what Mr. and Mrs. China are thinking.
In fact it would seem responsible to shoot down any foreign military aircraft anywhere, that was approaching or close to another country if the foreign craft refused to deny it was carrying and EMP or even appeared to be carrying an EMP. Maybe the US aircraft was fortunate this time?
If war wasn't so tragic I wish The US and China would get on with it, so that the Chinese could get their butt kicked and would finally shut up once and for all.
That won't work - it does not shut the Chinese up about losing to everyone else.
Look at the language the Chinese use. It is that of the schoolyard 7 year old:
What loss? The Americans don't consider anything lost and the Chinese have a nearly fictitious view of reality, thinking everyone else cares about face when it does not matter at all outside of Korea-Japan-China.
Their language is that of a 7 year old on a school playground, and that says all you need to know about the Chinese mindset.
Now project that onto the global stage, give it an economy +20% of the USA, and a similar sized military.
Then you have the dissembling about the aircraft and how it was 100% made in China - yep. And 100% copied from Russian plans, with "improvements" that allow the Chinese to ''Save Face'' and say it is a ''Chinese Aircraft"". They do this with their bullet trains, their yellow iron, their small moto engines, and most anything else. Steal the IP when it benefits them, tweak it, claim a patent, then turn around and sue the people they stole it from.
Good luck everybody else!
I agree
The writng or the translation may be less than artful but the general idea is clear and true.
It's always been difficult to translate Chinese into English, partly because the Chinese language has been relatively poorly designed and even more poorly developed (e.g. relying almost entirely on figurative speech, and showing a compulsive bent on using superfluous adjectives and gross exaggerations).
Most Chinese, even the more educated ones, cannot express themselves fluently or accurately in Chinese. The causes are complex but that's another discussion.
As for copying, well, you must remember that the US was copying Britain or Europe during the early days of industrialization. And when it was not copying, it was "stealing" scientists and engineers from Britain and continental Europe. (That's still continuing today, except the targets are now Japan, China, India, and Russia or former republics of the USSR.)
In the Korean War Soviet pilots flew MiGs with copied Rolls-Royce jet engines and the Us flew Sabres with GE copies of Rolls-Royce engines. The US P-51 Mustang was a derivative of the Vickers Supermarine Spitfire using the same Rolls-Royce Merlin engines built under licence by Packard
So europe and britain OWN their scientists? How egalitarian, oh wait...
depends on what you mean by "OWN"...
same meaning as in "The egalitarian Americans could legally own black slaves in the 19th century notwithstanding the US Constitution, and laws of discrimination against blacks were not repealed until the 1960's."????
I see that reality is just too much for many here to handle.
Move to China, live in China, learn as much of the language as you can, and then get back to me.
Thought the same thing. They talk like pussies, I guess because they're too chicken to shoot down one of our fighters.
"Look at the language the Chinese use. It is that of the schoolyard 7 year old"
You do not understand different cultures, nor the difficulty of translating a language whose figures of speech are vastly dissimilar to English.
No Lea, I understand the Chinese culture, people and mindset all too well.
I live here, your propaganda (how is the weather in Jinan today?) will have to find someone else who does not know China, or live in China, or interact with Chinese people on an hourly basis as I do.
The victim mindset is constant in Chinese langauge media, the Chinese news, and in conversations one has in Chinese and other languages with the Chinese people.
Always the victim seeking revenge. Always.
That is the mindset of a child. The People's Republic of Children.
So we are to believe you because you live there? What do you do for a living-in what province? I find it hard to believe that you could get on an American website and bash the Chinese people. Please give some direct evidence of the revenge seeking behavior you note. Childish behavior includes painting an entire nation of over a billion people as having one mindset. You must do a lot of traveling within China. Do tell us what exactly you do and your nation of origination.
-The invasion and annexation of Tibet as payback for the invasion of China by Tibet in the 7th C.
-The theft of IP from all of the 8-nation alliance members
-The inability to let go of the War with Japan. They say ''never forget'', but they are not remembering, they are seeking revenge and hate. They do not understand the difference between forgive and forget (and if Lea is who I think she is, she will reflexively post about how the Japanese treated the Chinese - they cannot help themselves on this topic).
Read the history you apparently do not know. Get a book, and read. Get 100 books. Read.
Only someone who is Chinese would be so clumsy as to ask this question and expect an answer.
I will not answer, I am not required to do as you demand.
By demanding this, you reveal yourself as a Chinese shill also.
This is far too easy.
You and I likely took the same classes in University.
You internalised and believed the nonsense, I called the professors on it and rejected it as anti-intellectual. I literally sat in class and thought ''that is not true and here is why. ABCDE...'''.
Not much more to be said. You swallowed the lies and I saw them at age 19.
You are PC, I am not.
You think it is impossible to characterise cultures and nations, I know it is necessary.
You think generalisations cannot be made, I know that they can.
You are brainwashed, disgruntled-housewife.
Leraconteur,
Your question about the weather in Jinan contradicts your stating YOU live there. BTW, repeating a catchphrase (how is the weather in so-and-so-country) IS childish.
The pot calling the kettle black...
Lea, what you have done is attack without answering.
By doing so, you reveal yourself to be the pro-China propaganda writer that you are.
Everyone, Lea is a PLA Cyber Warfare operative, she works from Jinan, Shandong. She is Chinese, and likely on the PLA payroll, or perhaps one of the millions who are paid to post to comment threads with pro-China propaganda.
Many of them work in Jinan, but many are doing it from home as their patriotic duty.
It was very easy to expose you, Lea. Thank you for revealing yourself.
Which one of their languages did they use to translate it from? China is a mish-mash of cultures and kept isolated from Russia are no giant that can't be tamed.
Ah- you have taken the bait. In my opinion this language is far more effective then the political jargon out of America. It is direct and to the point. It is understandable by all and therefore reaches a broader audience. Americans are weary of their government and mistrustful. They are beginning to understand that language used by the government should not be taken at face value. That you have to look beneath the veneer to see what is truly going on. Here the Chinese have come out and given them the between the lines information. Washington D.C. and the cronies behind it need a war- any war. This statement by China is effective- it was meant to take the wind out of the sails of America's push for war. I say point to the Chinese. Get over it.
The U.S are just pushing the Chinese and Russian's together, and together they ARE far stronger than the U.S in almost every aspect.
Yes but alone Russia is easy pickins so dont expect to see that "union" anytime soon...
Chinese thank consumels for big plofits to spend on defense stuff.
Just as I expected. Jumbo sewer rat eating "17:1 ES " BTFATH clowns.
Cool,
USA will be always the first economic power in the world and logically first military power in the world BECAUSE IS THE FIRST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD .
DO you think China or Russia is DEMOCRACY ?
I invite people to learn history of America of the last 200 years and the story of CHina & Russia of the 200 years.
All that Russia have are from spying and all that China have are from spying a spy.
Imagine the quality of Russia or China products....
Do you have seen any chinese aircraft carrier I prefer LEGO aircraft carrier
USA must put all chinese students out of USA and Europe out of their university if they don't take US citizenship or european citizenship.
(1) The US is NOT a democracy. It has never been a democracy. It was not even founded as a democracy.
(2) You should invite yourself to learn the history of America (note: the real history, not your projection or imagination). It's obvious to the informed that you don't have a clue about the basics of American history.
(3) Don't just send Chinese students back, send every Chinese scientists, engineers, professors, architects back. See what happens. Oh, stop borrowing money from the Chinese, and start sending China its gold bars stored in the US.
Hint: to the informed posters here, you are embarrassing, if not humiliating yourself. Your crass ignorance and stupidity tells me that you've been brainwashed to the bone.
Sad, really.
History.................His Story.......a 'story'. Hansel and Gretel is a story. The race betweeen the tortoise and the hare is a story, a fable.
Point (1) is well taken, since the U.S. is Republican "democratic" form of representative government, or at least ostensibly. That too was subsumed when K street began hatching lobbyists like so many vampiric mosquitoes in the swamp it was built upon.
Point (2) is a sign of your own brain being laundered, IF you believe, "Real history" as it is written.
After you have heard two or three eye witness accounts of any event, it will convince you to develop self-inflicted amnesia about all the history you have ever been made to memorize.
And remember this: For every time you point the finger at us, there are three more pointing right backacha.
Carry on, IRregardless.
Normal people learn the real history through reading. I guess you do it by telepathy?
It's not whether it's written; it's how it's written and by whom.
The American citizens are sadly misinformed about their stautus in the world. They have no idea of how far they have fallen behind as an economic and intellectual powerhouse. Many complain about the situation but few are moved to action. They are content and this is the problem. They have been lulled into complacency by a truly disgusting group of elite who have but one agenda and that is to annoint themselves as world leaders. U.S. leaders are playing out some hand directed from the shadows. They are poking both Russia and China in an attempt to forge the two and start a World War. They are running into difficulties getting their citizens on board to engage war in the Middle East so they have turned further east. The only thing responsible adults can do is to not fall into their trap. Let the elite duke it out but let's not fall in behind them. Governments around the world are not serving their citizens so do not serve them by taking sides. It doesn't matter. Tune out.
Alphan- look how many down votes you have. America is no longer a democracy- it is an oligarchy. All these nations are oligarchies. The elite are scrambling in ever country. They have failed miserably and their only recourse at this point is to start a war. What citizens from all nations must do is stop falling for their planned chaos. Stop following the carrot. Live an authentic life- march to your own drum- measure success by your own yard stick. Get off the merry go round. When the charlatons have no more marks to take advantage of perhaps the war drums will cease. World government is the goal and it is the worst possible outcome. Live a local life- support your local businesses. Decentralize and watch these jerk offs fall to the way side. If you want to really hurt the ruling elite make them irrelevant. No one solution is out there- just find yours and let others find theirs. Stop participating in the game.
Yeah. Downvotes on ZH are a really representaive sample. There are hardly any fuckwit fanatics here.
"USA will be always the first economic power in the world and logically first military power in the world BECAUSE IS THE FIRST DEMOCRACY IN THE WORLD ."
Nope. America is not "the first Democracy in the world". It's not even a Democracy at all. A Democracy is based on the principle, edicted in Ancient Athens (the first Democracy in the world) of one citizen, one vote.
Note: not the 500 or so easily pressurized electors you have in the USA, but every citizen of legal age in the country should cast its vote in the presidential elections. When you have that, you will be a Democracy, not before.
America is an Oligarchy with a phony "democracy" label.
greek democracy was based on citizen voting, not the population (the three for one slaves that supported the luxury of democracy - same with Rome, Egypt, Babylon etc etc).
Quasi-democracy only occurred after the abolition of black slavery (note not Middle Eastern, the Indian sub-continent and Near East Asian slavery which persists via a caste system).
Women only got the vote in Europe in the early 1900's. Quasi democracy has only been around for c 100 years and has morphed into the "mobocracy" of politicians buying votes either with benefits or power that supports banking/militarism.
Democracy might get a chance if only tax payers get the vote in proportion to the tax they pay; until then, not so much.
"greek democracy was based on citizen voting, not the population"
Yes. We've solved that one in Europe by making everybody a citizen.
"Democracy might get a chance if only tax payers get the vote in proportion to the tax they pay; until then, not so much."
Great, more Oligarchy!
Thanks, but no thanks.
Those Talmudists sure are "tricky".
Whose "side of the fence" will they - temporarily, of course - come down on this time?
Seen as they have moved almost all our manufacturing to China and the US Dollar is on its last legs - it looks like they are almost ready to pull the plug on the ol' USA... probably kicking it off soon with some suitably placed "large explosive devices" in a neigborhood near you.
There will be no outside help - unless you consider the invasion across the S. border, that they orchestrated, to be assistance - for a country whose reputaion they have left in tatters
If you are a good boot-licker and can exist on crumbs, then you might do reasonably well - comparatively speaking, of course - in the new ZIO USSA.
Give my regards to the "folks" at your local DHS/FEMA "Processing" Center and enjoy your "stay".
Be Seeing You ;
i enjoy watching the armchair air combat tacticians work themselves into a froth on some other sites. i see that a few have made it onto here as well.
america is finished in the middle east, east asia and europe as a hegemonic power. it will have to return to its historical place as the regional hegemon of the americas, and deal with russia, china and the victor of the middle-east killing orgy (be they turk, persian, arab or god knows what) on something far more approaching equal terms than what the american generations of the unipolar moment are used to.
empires have a psychologically-aggrandizing effect on the insecure nobodies of their metropoles, so the empire-builders will always have that mandate to call upon as they go down fighting. and they will fight, but their endpoint is the dustbin in which all empires have eventually landed.
if you watch the documentary hidden places of america an amateur captured american x37b spying on china space frame is more than capable of observing space junk

I've seen worse in ferguson.
With the help of the Clinton's and all the other communists and leftists in the USA, China has stolen massive amounts of our military technology, they are in fact the thieves.
Shit. I'd like to post a full comment but I can't because my Charter Internet is down. I guess I'll just type a small comment on this tiny cellphone keyboard...
No sense of irony here given that much of China's industry is built on stolen technology and blatant patent violations. Oh what the hell Mao only killed what 80 million or so. And after all there are only a couple hundred million held as virtual slaves in those factories operating on that stolen technology. Such a small price to pay for such righteousness and to build the new "greater East Asian co-prosperity sphere".
China: the new Imperial Japan only ten times as big. What could possible go wrong.
Chinese who can afford it, attempt to buy in Hong Kong or buy European made pots, pans, cutlery, olive oil, baby formula, etc.
German, Swiss, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, French, English are the top brands. Anything Northern European is preferred to the cheap Chinese toxic junk. Japan, Korean and USA for some things, also.
If you can afford it.
Chinese hot water kettle 19 to 99 Yuan.
European imported hot water kettle 358 to 1658 Yuan.
But with the German made kettle you don't get cadmium leaching into your tea.
I'm in China at the moment, Shanghai to be precise, (with a magnificent view of the bund to my right) and i've been watching a lot of the news, reading articles & newspapers, listening to broadcasts & reports, and speaking to certain individuals here. The vast majority of the news on television being news stations that I have never seen on American television (what a surprise, am I right?). Since the majority of American & worldwide television stations are banned and censored in China, i've spent the majority of my spare time watching Chinese news (the majority of it being primarily in mandarin). Much of it had focused on it's own growing pyramid of militarism, and of it's recent military exercises in Mongolia, accompanied by a few of it's Eastern/Asian buddies: Russia, Kazakhstan, Krygyzstan, and Tajikistan.
Anyways, pre-Shanghai, I had been river boat cruising through the Yangtze river and the three gorges, (the dam was magnificent by the way).
I had the oppurtunity to speak to a multitude number of Chinese people, (before I found out about these military exercises that have been taking place in Mongolia).
The topic of their President (Mr. Xi Jingping) had been brought up, and I also brought up the fact of his vacationing (or what I believed to be his vacationing) in Mongolia at the moment. None of these individuals knew what I was talking about whatsoever, this fact did not surprise me however, as the majority of Chinese (even the wealthier classes of individuals) could easily be compared of ignorant and unaware sheep.
I had been very suspicious for quite some time now about his business in Mongolia. Atleast now I know that he's been up to while there. I've seen a number of videos that exhibits it's rapidly growing military, as well as the exposition of it's Jian-11B fighter jets. This article helped to expose a bit more of the recent Chinese military exercises in Mongolia and different parts of Asia, especially since the Hainan island is significantly close enough to Mongolia.
This entire scenario was, however, obvious and predictable. It was also predictable for the US to spy or atleast show it's face during this time. This scenario causes me to wonder what China and Russia may be hiding up their sleeves. We'll see how this plays out, but one could easily expect tensions to rise between Asia, the East, and the West. I predict that things will begin to slowly and steadily escalate between these three countries, however since China and the USA depend on one another (World's largest producer / one of China's largest consumers), I don't expect to see much to rapidly change between China and the US. I simply expect tensions to rise at an extremely slow and unforeseeable pace until it all blows up in our faces.
So, I have reason to believe that the reason the USA was spying because of these Chinese, Russian, Kahzakstan, Tajikistan, and Krygyzstan military exercises. Somehow these military exercises pose a threat to the United States (it actually makes perfect sense), and obviously the US showing face on Hainan poses a threat towards the Chinese (which also makes perfect sense).

USA has nothing lost outside their borders.
Yankees go home from Europe, Asia and Africa.
Well, everyone is aware of that.
The Chinese have so few of their so-called 4th generation fighters (J10 and J11) that they can't afford to lose a single one. They have no strategic bombers. (Though a few are under development) It makes news to call them a threat, but their entire air force, except their aging fleet of J7s, would be wiped out within a matter of weeks should a conflict break out. We have a 3 to 1 superiority in numbers and most of them modern fighters.
"There is no foreign engine or major component."
Maybe so. But reasonable to assume that the designs were stolen from the west.
Y'know the language just keeps striking me as odd, I mean we know what they mean but - "disgusting thief" is dissonant in any modern or historic English dialect I can think of, I'm sure the Chinese character involved can be translated as "dirty" or "beggar class", and even the "thief" character probably has alternate translations and connotations. Wouldn't "Peeping Tom" be more appropriate? Or maybe that's not in insult in China but a respected government office? LOL
China’s Reaction: America Is A "Disgusting Thief Spying Over His Neighbor’s Fence"
If the shoe fits!
Perpetual victim kills at will and throws itself on the mercy of the Court as an orphan (organ) of justice.
China is getting better talking like an American.
The Era of Great Dieback, or the Century of False Information or the Fake Age...
I always find it funny when modern 'philosohpers' claim we will reach some point of 'singularity' in the near future. We have barely come anywhere at all. Shitty products, shitty food, shitty healthcare, shitty drugs, more waste, less potable water, and we havent even built a base on the moon. I guess we have to look forward to the end of oil when all the SHTF.
