in a remarkable reversal, the normally private sector-oriented world bank and international monetary fund acknowledged that the Chinese regulations required the SOEs to safeguard the interest of the Chinese government. This was a violation of China's original commitments. Indeed, the world bank went so far as to warn in a confidential paper in 1993 that China's other reforms would fail if the SOEs could not be improved and ultimately made profitable. the concept was to "corporatize" them, which meant a relaxation of state control to push some of the enterprises to go bankrupt or be dissolved while other would be consolidated from many small, loss-making ones into a few large, profit-making ones. This is the beginning of what became known a decade later as the "___________".

In private, The World Bank's economists recommended something different: they explained how China could overtake the United States. Apparently the bank did not suggest concealing the whole idea, and instead pretended that China was going capitalist. Rather, that was a Chinese decision based on the Warring States era principle of inducing complacency in the old hegemon.

China is following an approach consistent with the Chinese television series The Rise of the Great Powers, produced by the Party ... I believe the Chinese leadership has learnt that it fyou compete with America in armaments, you will lose. You will bankrupt yourself. So avoid it, keep your head down, and smile for 40 or 40 years"

While aware of this economic critique from the West, Chinese leaders seem likely to continue to rely on SOEs at least for the foreseeable future, for several reasons: 1. SOEs have been economically successful so far; China has risen from a basket case to an economic giant in just a generation 2. China's SOEs provide a continuing role for, and justification of the continued political dominance of the chinese communist party; "socialism with Chinese characteristics" is a banner under which the party can rally the masses 3. Chinese leaders believe that major industries important to china's economic and national security will move in the right direction only if they remain wholly or largely under government control; the state must remain the major player through majority ownership. 4. SOEs are a major mechanism for maintaining Party control over the country as they provide patronage and legitimacy. 5. SOEs encourage indigenous innovation in china, thereby reducing reliance on foreign technologies, another national objective, . 6. Chinese leaders may wish to move slowly to avoid the worst of the Russian experience in the post-Soviet Era - the selling of state industries to political cronies for pennies and dollar, resulting in a small number of incredibly rich oligarchs running sclerotic companies unable to compete internationally.

Along with rats, flies, and mosquitoes, sparrows were one of the four "pests" that, in Mao's thinking, posed a threat to hygiene - and economic progress - in China. "________________" of 1958, part of the Great Leap Forward, was born of a burning desire to move China's agrarian economy into the twentieth century. Mao and his top advisers reasoned that the sparrows consumed thousands of tons of grain that could be used to feed the Chinese people and fuel the communes and mass industrialization that were the centerpieces of China's competitive drive to bring its economy on a part with those of the West. Farmers fanned out across the countryside, tearing down nests, breaking eggs, and chasing flocks of sparrows with pots and pans The campaign was devastatingly effective. By 1959, sparrows were nearly exterminated in China.

A historical vignette from the Warring States Period; Between 490 and 470 BC. Between 490 and 470 BC, the story goes, the heads of two warring states were like America and China - Fuchai was the old hegemon and Goujian was the rising challenger who aspires to become ruler of the world. Fuchai takes Goujian prisoner. The hegemon's "hawkish" adviser, Wu Zixu, urges him to kill Goujian. Always suspicious of possible threats and eager to preempt them, Wu Zixu warns that Goujian will eventually escape and potentially topple the old hegemon. Other advisers, working secretly with the captured Goujian, systemically defamed and undermine Wu Zixu to the point that Fuchai decides that it is Wu Zixu who deserves to die. Eventually, after a long series of manipulations, Fuchai sends his now disgraced adviser a sword to commit suicide. Goujian convinces the king to let him serve as his personal servant for three years in exchange for his freedom, after which Goujian promises to be a strategic partner of the hegemon. When the king gets sick for an unknown reason, Goujian boldly demonstrates his extreme loyalty by tasting the king's excrement to diagnose his illness. Once he is released however, Goujian violates his promises. Just as Wu Zixu had predicted, Goujian vows revenge for the humiliation he has suffered. He sells poisoned gran that will not germinate when planted, thus causing a famine. Then he invades the kingdom and captures Fuchai. In captivity and disgraced, the king commits suicide leaving Goujian to become the new hegemon. This vignette guides China's strategy for dealing with the West today. America is playing the role of Fuchai, a ruling king being persuaded by duplicitous or foolish advisers to ignore warnings about its rival's true intentions.

Two points were brought up by the Commission: the first was that China was moving toward a free market economy and would sell off all of its massive government-run corporations, and the second was that there was no chance China would surpass the United States economically, and even if it did - by, say, the year 2020 - China would be a free-market, peace-loving democracy by then anyway - at least according to the "Golden Arches Theory of Conflict Prevention" popularized by the New York Times columnists ____ and in vogue at the time.

Obviously, those labeled the Red Team resent the label and deny being dupes of China. They assert that the Chinese government does not lie to them, or to anyone else.

The United States overtook Germany's leadership in the paper industry with new technology following mergers fostered by U.S. government in 1900, the course taught. Similarly, in the steel industry, America's government somehow aided Andrew Carnegie to become the steel industry's first hegemonic leader, in 1879.

The author first came across the term "assassin's mace" in 1995 when reading an article titled "The Military Revolution in Naval Warfare," written by three of China's preeminent military strategists. The authors listed new technologies that would contribute to the defeat of the US. They linked military supremacy in outer space to success in naval operations. "The mastery of _______ will be a prerequisite for naval victory with outer space becoming the new commanding heights for naval combat .... The side with electromagnetic combat superiority will make full use of that Assassin's Mace weapon to win naval victory."
outer space
For two decades, China has been building a number of Assassin's Mace weapons to destroy or incapacitate those satellites, including a land-based laser that would either blind American satellites or blow them up. It has also begun to build "____". These small devices would cling to an American satellite and either disable it or hijack the information it gathers. Others could neutralize an American satellite through electronic jamming, EMP generation, or pushing the satellite out of orbit."

portfolio holding
The elements of the U.S. _______ system include forward-deployed intercontinental ballistic missiles and military bases; aerial refueling capabilities; nuclear-armed bombers; and long-distance troop transport capabilities. Rather than attempting to replicate the U.S.-style system of power projection, as the Soviets did, China has elected not to do so because it would be a violation of the rules of the Warring states-era lessons for China to provoke the hegemon, or ba, prematurely. Chinese leaders have studied how the US had become alarmed at the Soviet Union's military buildup, and how this buildup supposedly provoked the Americans to end wartime cooperation with Stalin and initiate the cold War and a massive U.S. trade and investment embargo on the Soviet Union.
power projection
In November 2003 came perhaps the most compelling evidence of China's links to a much broader ______, when the Libyan government supplied Western Officials with a trove of documents, including a detailed instructional manual, printed in Chinese, for making a thousand-pound bomb with conventional explosives wrapped around fissile material to create a nuclear blast. Media reports claim that these documents showed that Chinese nuclear weapons experts will collaborating with Pakistani nuclear scientists for years after initially supplying the design information to Pakistan and Libya.
proliferation network
Ms. Lee revealed that the operation (of China's governments routinely monitoring of media) had a $12 billion annual budget and was run by the Politburo's Standing Committee, which met weekly in a secret room in Beijing, spending much of its time creating messages to be promoted by a ____________ that controlled Chinese newspapers, television programs, and magazines published overseas, as well as the Chinese Internet.

As environmental degradation expands, species could disappear, ocean levels will rise, and cancer will spread. Some international organizations will not be able to step in as efficiently as they can today because they will be marginalized. Chinese state-owned monopolies and Chinese-controlled economic alliances will dominate the global marketplace, and one of the world's mightiest military alliances may be controlled by Beijing, which will be able to easily outspend the US on military research, troop levels, and weapons systems
sinocentric world
The World bank pointed out that china's savings are remarkably high, and that if China could obtain productivity growth - especially via the use of science and technology - coupled with restrained population growth, the ambitious goal was achievable. the bank made ____ in private, not revealing them to the outside would because the bank had made the politically sensitive decision to endorse China's socialist approach and made no genuine effort to advocate for a true market economy.

1. For the two decades after 1985, China needed to change the composition of its exports to increasingly emphasize manufactured goods, particularly high-tech products. 2. the bank warned Chinese leaders not to slide into excessive borrowing from foreign sources 3. the bank economists warned China to encourage foreign direct investment only for advanced technology and modern management techniques. 4. To spread foreign investment and joint revenues out from the special economic zones to a wide range of locales 5. to phase out its foreign trade companies and let each SOE establish its own foreign trade arrangements 6. the bank recommended that a long-term framework for the whole Chinese economy should be worked out regularly
six recommendations
Western countries offer concessions primarily because leaders are convinced that overall China is moving in the "right" direction toward freer markets, productive international cooperation, and political liberalization. That is a misperception about China. The author and other experts have learned from Chinese defectors and dissidents that Beijing has a _______ in place to mislead foreigners about what is going on in their country and to reconfirm Western biases and wishful thinking.

what has accelerated Chinese growth more than anything is not reform at all, but a commitment to subsidize ______, which still comprise 40 percent of China's GDP. These ___, or "national champions," as they are known inside the halls of government in Beijing, are a vital component of the Hundred-Year Marathon.

What the Chinese authorities hadn't realized was that, in addition to grains, insects constituted a large component of the sparrow's diet. In the following years, without sparrows as predators, locusts ravaged harvests - and this was compounded by severe droughts. Between 1958 and 1961, more than thirty million Chinese perished due to famine. Communist China's first major experiment to make itself economically competitive relative to the West had failed. What is this an example of?
the consequences of the Sparrows near extermination
to stay in power, China's leadership knows it needs raid growth if we project the current impasse forward three decades, the effects are alarming. Since the 1980s, China has built ten thousand petrochemical plants along the Yangtze River and four thousand plants along the Yellow River. As a result of these factories and China's choice to prioritize development over environmental considerations, 40 percent of the country;s rivers are seriously polluted, and in 20 percent of its rivers the water quality is too toxic to touch safely, let alone drink. At least 55 percent of the groundwater in china is unfit for drinking. In fact, the wastewater that Chinese factories dump into rivers causes about 60 thousand premature deaths annually. of course, because of the state's control of information and its vast network of censors, many Chinese do not even know that their drinking water may kill them.
toxicity in China's rivers and groundwater
China's destruction of its weather satellite in 2007 was the first in a series of _____ - intentional provocations and hostilities seemingly designed to test the resolve of the US and allied nations and the boundaries of what is deemed acceptable by international norms - that most of the world has overlooked, ignored, or explained away.
