‘Almost all enemies’ of U.S. ‘are China’s friends’ East-Asia-Intel.com, December 5, 2007

An official of the Chinese government last week confirmed that Beijing issupporting U.S. enemies around the world.

Yuan Peng, director of the Institute of American Studies, part of theChina Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, said that “in the world, almost all enemies of the United States are China’s friends.”

The rare admission confirms the view of some critics who say China’s armssales to rogue states like Iran, Syria and North Korea are based on adeliberate strategy of indirectly confronting the United States.

Peng’s institute, the CICIR, is an entity of the Ministry of StateSecurity, China’s main intelligence service. His remarks were included in astate-run media report.

Peng said long-term strategic stability between the U.S. and China “stillremain[s] doubtful.”

He accused the United States of attempting to “hold up the pace and scope of China’s rise by economic, social and diplomatic means.”

“Since the U.S. attempt to curb China’s rise in the political and militaryfields has failed, it has now applied three major means to hold up the pace andscope of China’s rise,” Peng stated.

The methods include pressure on China to open financial markets,supporting grassroots protesters in China and attempting to “contain outwardexpansion of China’s mode” by “urging China to cut off its relations with’rogue nations’ in an attempt to subject China to internal and external blames,” he said.
