Link of the Week Matthew Forney, in Time Asia, examines the Communist Chinese army�s continuing quest for high-tech and information weaponry to redraw the military balance between the PRC and Taiwan � and between the PRC and the U.S. � in its favor. On Communist China and the Terrorist War Two Communist Chinese colonels foresaw the 9/11/01 attack, and recommended it as �just the type of �unrestricted warfare� that could bring down America.� That according to Newsmax.com, which has managed to get a hold of the CIA translation of 1999 book by the two PRC officers Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, Unrestricted Warfare.

On PRC rival India Ilan Berman, in the Middle East Quarterly, focuses on the growing cooperation between India, Israel, and Turkey on a wide range of security matters. Berman notes, in particular, India�s �potential missile threat from both Pakistan and China� and how it has drawn the billion-plus democratic nation closer to the U.S. Meanwhile, Shaikh Azizur Rahman (Washington Times) reports that �al Qaeda and Taliban fighters have entered Indian-controlled Kashmir from across the border with Pakistan-based militants.� Pakistan, the 50-year Communist Chinese ally who gave the PRC a chunk of Kashimir in the 1960s, denies this, of course. On Communist China and the New U.S. Strategic Vision Michael Ledeen of National Review Online has high praise for President Bush�s new national security strategy (see the President�s statement here), except for what he called � and rightly so � �excess of optimism concerning the People's Republic of China.� His column is in the New York Post. On the �Great Red Firewall� Mary Hennock (BBC) examines the Communist Chinese effort to keep dissent off the web. Eerily, thanks to forcing filtering software in internet caf�s and demanding that internet service providers in the PRC censor their own users, the Communist �Great Red Firewall� is far more successful than most realize.
