Slaughter, Chemical Attack, and "Capability Building"

A vow to oppose sanctions and the determination to "enhance the ruling capability" of the Chinese Communist Party spells doom for hundreds, if not thousands, of people in the African nation of Sudan, and directly threatens the security of the United States.
An important topic - but you won't hear it on the evening news, anywhere.
A recent official broadcast from China verifies and justifies China's determination to veto any UN sanctions against the government of Sudan, an Islamic fundamentalist regime connected to terror networks and several nations supporting terror.
"Imposing the will of the international community" will make the situation in Sudan "only more complicated," declared Radio China International, the official broadcasting service of China.
Some 50,000 Sudanese, mostly innocent villagers, have died in what U.S. Secretary of State Collin Powell described as "genocide." There is no indication that the central government of Sudan will ease its relentless pressure on unwanted populations in the east and west of the nation.
Recent reports have detailed chemical and biological attacks carried out on civilians with the help of Syrians experts who were brought into Sudan by the central government in Khartoum.
International News Analysis Today speculates that the chemical and biological attacks in Sudan are merely drills for a more substantial assault upon the ultimate intended victim, the United States.
China has stated that the "solution" to the disaster in Sudan "depends on the Sudanese government." Instead of sanctions, "the UN and the international community" should provide "more support to the Sudanese government," according to Radio China International.
China did not detail the specific type of "support" Sudan needs.
Beijing's connection with Sudan is not merely an exercise in international political theory. China is working closely with Sudan to develop and exploit that African nation's significant oil reserves. China also assists the Sudanese military.
Those advocating increasing trade and investment in China hope that greater economic freedom will develop through what they term "engagement." A growing economy will eventually lead to political freedom for China's billion people, so the argument goes.
The Chinese Communist Party, however, is also aware of this theory, and is taking steps to become a world power while remaining a Marxist state.
The Party's solution is "capability building" - enhancing "ruling capability" in order to achieve "Socialist democracy" - or "Socialism with Chinese characteristics." The Party made its new approach known at the end of the just-concluded Fourth Plenum Session of the Sixteenth Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
Party bureaucrats are have decided that they will govern "in accordance with the times and requirements of the people" to improve "the ability to guide the market economy," according to a recent report from Radio China International.
The Party, of course, will determine what is "in accordance with the times and requirements of the people."
If China's governing of Hong Kong, its continued dire threats against Taiwan, and its continued support of pro-terror states are any indication, Beijing's new method of governance will be merely a more efficient version of the present Communist state apparatus, a more robust approach to the destruction of terror's ultimate enemy - the United States.
