Strident Video by Chinese Military Casts U.S. as Menace -- New York Times
A conspiracy-minded 100-minute film produced by the Chinese military that was circulating widely on the Internet Thursday accuses the United States of trying to undermine the Communist Party’s control of the People’s Liberation Army and impose American values on China.
Among the American tactics decried in the film are military-to-military exchanges, which Washington has long promoted to improve communications in the event of a crisis. The video, complete with ominous soundtrack, warns instead that such visits are intended to corrupt Chinese officers.
The strikingly hard-line film, titled “Silent Contest” (较量无声), also takes aim at Western nongovernmental organizations, the American and British consulates in Hong Kong, and prominent reformers inside China. It accuses Washington of sponsoring exiled minority leaders such as the Dalai Lama and the Uighur dissident Rebiya Kadeer.

My Comment: I looked at 10 minutes of the video .... and I was not impressed. If this is Chinese propaganda .... it is going to have minor (if any) impact. What we should be concerned about is .... who approved this video? Is this official Chinese government policy .... or just some senior military officials who are not happy with the state of affairs.
