The World Will Awaken in the Process of Disintegrating the CCP (Part 1)

(Minghui.org) Two campaigns started by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in 1999 are still developing today. In February of that year, two People’s Liberation Army officers published the book Unrestricted Warfare: Two Air Force Senior Colonels on Scenarios for War and the Operational Art in an Era of Globalization. In July, the CCP started to persecute Falun Gong, a group of 100 million people who embrace the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.

Taking a step back, one may find that these events are not coincidental. After decades of brutality, terror, and lies, the CCP was ready to move to the next level–pushing through its communist agenda in a manner that transcends military, political, legal, ideological, and moral boundaries.

A quarter century later, both of these campaigns persist. The CCP’s extension of its persecution of Falun Gong overseas in 2024–including attacks on Shen Yun Performing Arts through a series of articles by a major Western news outlet, along with legal battles–is viewed by some as a new wave of unrestricted warfare. According to inside information, this campaign is “absolutely” not limited to Shen Yun and Falun Gong, as the CCP’s plan goes far beyond those targets.

Although unrestricted warfare is a new term, these tactics have been used throughout the CCP’s history, notably its “united front” and ideology of class struggle. For example, the regime adopted a systematic, multi-level approach to disintegrate Chiang Kai-shek’s Republic of China government. After the CCP took power, it launched numerous campaigns, such as land reform, the anti-rightist movement, the Great Leap Forward, the destruction of the Four Olds (old ideas, old culture, old customs, and old habits), and the Cultural Revolution. Through these campaigns, the regime came to completely control people materially, culturally, and intellectually.

Given the United States’ important role in the free world, the CCP has always viewed the U.S. as a major obstacle and a mortal enemy. One way the CCP seeks to weaken America is by using unrestricted warfare to maximize divisions between political parties, families, and society. By bringing legal actions against Shen Yun and Falun Gong in the U.S., the CCP pushes the U.S. to oppose people of faith. If America sides with the CCP’s atheist ideology, the country would no longer be blessed by God.

The CCP’s Ambition

After decades of strong economic growth, the CCP gained confidence in its strength and changed from its long-term approach of “keeping a low profile and biding time” to operating in the mindset of a “rising East, declining West.” By using unrestricted warfare to sow division and chaos in the West, the CCP could weaken America’s lead position in the world and ultimately take its place.

In keeping with the same mindset, the current CCP leader adopted a “wolf warrior” approach to diplomacy after taking power in 2012. Wolf warrior diplomats have used language like “The 9/11 incident is a lesson not far away, the U.S. should not forget the pain after the scar heals” and “Be careful not to get your eyes poked out.”

Other world leaders find it difficult to understand the CCP’s behavior because many of them lack a deep understanding of CCP culture and the nature of the regime, even after decades of interaction. For example, replacing the U.S. as the leading world power has been the CCP’s goal since 2018, but many leaders in the U.S. government still have not recognized this threat.

In fact, even the CCP’s leaders have been thoroughly brainwashed by Party culture. They believe that through totalitarianism, the CCP can transfer external economic pressure to China’s people and turn external pressure into a tool for brainwashing the Chinese people. The Party aims to use these crises to consolidate its own leadership.

A “Unique Skill” from Unique Party Culture

According to the authors of Unrestricted Warfare, the strategy disregards humanity, human rights, conscience, and morality. With its deeply rooted communist ideology and philosophy of struggle, the CCP has no fear of the divine or moral boundaries, thus giving it a “unique skill” in unrestricted warfare that Western countries cannot think of or learn. This is the CCP’s wishful thinking.

After Unrestricted Warfare was published in 1999, it was reprinted ten times the following year. In 2016, the two authors published Unrestricted Warfare and Countering Unrestricted Warfare, in which the imaginary enemy is undoubtedly the United States. The CCP has thoroughly carried out this unrestricted warfare in real life since 1999.

Unrestricted warfare weaponizes all resources and technologies in all fields, and it can use any means to achieve its war goals. There is no distinction between “front and rear,” “soldiers and civilians,” countries and territories. There are no restrictions on morality or ethics. Any person and any facility can be targeted. Because most people do have a set of moral values, the implementation of unrestricted warfare requires extreme authoritarianism and brainwashing of the entire population. Outside of this environment, however, it is to be expected for people to be shocked by the forms that “unrestricted warfare” takes.

An online article titled “The Historical Heritage of Unrestricted Warfare and a Warning to Hegemonism” analyzed whether the U.S. or Taiwan could take a similar approach. It concluded, “Unrestricted Warfare is the CCP’s unique skill. Only the background of the Chinese Communist Party can produce such strategic, tactical and combat thinking. Others cannot learn it even if they want to.”

Here is an example. After the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States, a writer living in America had a friend visiting from mainland China. The Chinese friend frankly and sincerely expressed his admiration for the planners and commanders of the September 11 attack, calling it “a model of defeating the strong with the weak, defeating the many with the few, and taking the enemy by surprise and attacking them when they are unprepared.” It took only thirteen people to kill three thousand on the other side and severely damage the other country’s financial industry. More importantly, it was impossible for the other side to fight back in the same way.

In fact, this friend generally supports reform and democratization, but it was clear from this conversation that his perception of good and evil had been severely distorted, if it still existed. Instead, he spoke completely from the perspective of the CCP’s dictatorship.

This example illustrates the consequences of the CCP’s nationwide brainwashing through thought reform over the past century, as well as its danger to both China and the international community.
