I pity a country that would come up
against us
the synergy with air land and sea forces
and and our ability to control the
battle space and seize the high ground
is devastating all countries respect the
power of the United States and their
respect how dominant we are in this
region and we get better and better and
better tonight at 10:00 a rare glimpse
of China's ambitious expansion in one of
the world's most contested regions we
report from the South China Sea where
the Chinese are warning off anyone who
comes too close to their building
program we continue our look this
morning at what China does not want you
to see the United States says the
superpower is reclaiming land in the
South China Sea the fact that we're
dealing with the situation right now
where we the US has to be much more
aggressive in dealing with the Chinese
government cNN has Loretha the US navy
is about to send a destroyer there let's
go to our sentence
CNN got exclusive access to classified
US surveillance flights over the islands
the threat of China is becoming big news
the media is beating the drums of war as
the world was being primed to regard
China as a new enemy
China's alarming creation of entirely
new territory in the South China Sea is
one part of a broader military push that
some fear is to challenge us dominance
in the region China is building air
strips in the South China Sea on
disputed islands condemned by an
international tribunal this is now a
flashpoint for war between China and
America what is not news is that China
itself is under threat these American
bases form a giant noose encircling
China with missiles bombers warships all
the way from Australia through the
Pacific to Asia and beyond I mean if you
were in Beijing looking out he stood on
the tallest building in Beijing and
looked out at the Pacific Ocean you'd
see American warships you'd see Guam is
about to sink because there's so many
missiles pointed at China you look up a
Korean see American armaments pointing
at China you'd see Japan which is
basically Japan's a glove over the
American fist I think if I was Chinese
I'd have a little to worry about about
American aggressiveness and we have
China surrounded and we're doing more
all the time to try and keep it
surrounded and deepen that containment
of China but China presents a
fascinating case of a country that is
independent doesn't have foreign bases
on its territory growing very rapidly
not as rapidly now as it did for 30
years but still the second ranking
economy in the world we have an
adversary and that adversary is China
and that adversary unless there is
dramatic reform inside China will be our
enemy someday when Miss I think really
that needs to be dispelled is that
somehow
China's aiming to replace America and
and gonna run the world it's not well
first of all the Chinese are not that
stupid the West with its Christian roots
or about converting other people into
their beliefs the Chinese are not about
that it's it's just the come again I'm
not degrading the Western culture I'm
just pointing out being here in nature
the DNA is of two different cultures
the Chinese 2,000 years ago built the
Great War to keep the barbarians out and
not to invade them as the world's
economic power moves rapidly to Asia the
response of the United States is to
deploy the majority of its naval forces
to Asia and the Pacific
this massive military buildup is known
in Washington as the pivot to Asia the
target is China
the great power game in the 21st century
is called perpetual war America's
unchallenged arms industry the annual
prize is huge profits from almost 600
billion dollars of military spending
once an imaginary weapon on Star Wars
the electromagnetic gun is now reality
you're sitting there thinking about
these next generation and futuristic
ideas and we've got scientists who have
designed these and it's coming to life
and the smartest weapons need enemies as
a Pacific nation of the United States
will play a larger and long-term role in
shaping this region and its future I
have directed my national security team
to make our presence and mission in the
Asia Pacific a top priority in one sense
it's the u.s. already at war with China
yes on the ground and in the air the
winner of the Nobel Peace Prize
President Barack Obama has committed to
trillions of dollars of to our nuclear
arsenal he's committing trillions of
future dollars to war in space and we
need an enemy for all this money and
China is the perfect enemy
the aim of this film is to break a
silence the United States and China may
well be on a path to war and nuclear war
is no longer unthinkable in a few years
China has become the world's second
biggest economic power the United States
is the world's biggest military power
with bases and missiles and ships
covering every continent every ocean
China is a threat to this dominance says
Washington but who is the threat this
film is about shifting power and great
danger it's also film about the human
spirit and the rise of an extraordinary
resistance among people on the front
line of a coming war where the words
never again have an urgent meaning for
all of us
[Music]
this is bikini the rim of an ancient
underwater volcano in the Marshall
Islands with its necklace of 23 islands
bikini is a place of beauty and silence
and menace
look closely where the Amaral lagoon
suddenly falls into a fast black hole
this is the crater of one of the
greatest man-made explosions the
hydrogen bomb they called Bravo
it vaporized an entire island and
poisoned almost everything and everyone
as our plane flew low we seemed to touch
its deathly void
the Marshall Islands lie in the vast
Pacific Ocean between the United States
and Asia captured from the Japanese in
World War two they've long been
America's strategic secret it's stepping
stone to Asia and China
people here sustain themselves for
thousands of years with abundant fish
breadfruit and coconuts
they were skilled navigators who sailed

Westerners might call this paradise in

come on Isaac I really wanna Maynard
good Rivero would
all that changed in 1946 when the United
States took over the Marshall Islands as
a trust territory with an obligation to
protect the health and well-being of the
people a nightmare began the islands
were turned into a laboratory for the
testing of nuclear weapons and the
people into guinea pigs
Plus Rothstein 24 take 2 in this
propaganda film the bikini Islanders are
being deceived unknown to them plans
were already underway to destroy their
paradise forever will you ask King Judah
that the United States government now
wants to attempt to turn this great
destructive force into something good
for mankind and that these experiments
here at bikini are the first step in
that direction
Elva rescheduled manonmani loan kryolan

assembled in bikini Lagoon in order to
blow them to bits
the decks of the 73 test ships anchored
in bikini lagoon are scenes of P brush

programs designed to furnish data on
blast effects of a mighty atom bomb
animals of many animals were strapped to
the decks it's like a perverse Noah's

the mum cells give their all for their

giving with the wolf calls the bikini
named after the atomic explosion in the
Pacific the bikini was an explosion
everywhere in 1946 the bikini swimsuit
was launched to celebrate the nuclear
explosions that had destroyed life on
bikini island the inventor of the bikini
a Frenchman made his fortune today a
bikini body is promoted in magazines as
an object of desire and good health the
bodies of the people of bikini and other
islands are the most irradiated in the
world all these women have had thyroid
cancer you are living on a limb to do

kept accident I'd look good morning the

aquatic are you German I'm terrible for
anything I forgot about Jillian manly
what happened as a result of the Bravo
test was that a cover-up was launched
very shortly after March 1 I mean
there's such a history of wrong
information outright lies deception
there was no no attempt to take the most
conservative approach and make sure that
everybody was okay
they knew whether a like to fall that
was going to go and they took that risk
and went ahead and detonated the bomb
knowing full well which way it's gonna
go
they still had an opportunity to
evacuate even on the day of the shot but
these people were not evacuated we were
not evacuated and the people on you
Drake we're not family so it only leads
one one up one believe it number one the
United States needed some guinea pigs to
study what the effects of radiation
would do and that that's a pretty strong
indication at the United States knew
there it seems extraordinary here we are
this far into the 21st century
talking to people still frightened of
all that nuclear fallout all those tests
all those years ago the impression I get
is that there's so little trust among
people the u.s. is trying to provide as
much information as much good
information as we can and so I wouldn't
accept the characterization that that
there have been lies and and cover-ups
the word guinea pigs comes up a lot from
these survivors
I would I would refer you to our embassy
website on that I've read it and that
that question was looked at during the
Clinton administration and that was not
the conclusion they came to
the secret of the Marshall Islands is
project 4.1 declassified documents
reveal a scientific program that began
as a study of mice and became a study of
human beings exposed to radiation
Chicago is where it all began and to the
AEC Argonne labs in Chicago last week
came seven men natives of the Marshall
Islands Leben is from Odori he and the
rest were irradiated by our March 1954
hydrogen bomb heads
John is mayor of wrangle up which is 100
miles from bikini John as we said is a
savvy but a happy amenable Savage his
grandfather ran almost naked on his
coral atoll the white man brought money
and religion and the market for his
copra John reads knows about God and is
a pretty good mayor the iron room is a
radiation detector for human beings
inside John chimera whose first visit to
the white man's country meant San
Francisco cable cars and Chicago
skyscrapers and streamline trains whose
first visit to the white man's country
meant the iron room a savage governs his
life by ritual and he understands this
because he thinks of it as a new ritual
sitting alone inside the room outside
strange kind of priest in a long white
coat when the ritual of the iron room
was over for John it began for the
others as each finish he was told it was
over and he was given Apple other good
things to eat then he took off the
ritual clothing and the seven men put on
the suits in Cocke coat they had been
lent in Hawaii which they would return
in Hawaii on their way back in the
Marshall Islands in the middle of the
Pacific Ocean United States government
documents clearly demonstrate that its
scientists conducted human radiation
experiments with marshalese citizens
some of our people were injected with or
coerced to drink fluids laced with
radiation other experimentation involve
the purposeful and premature
resettlement of people on Ireland's
highly contaminated by weapons tests to
study how human beings absorb radiation
from their foods and environment
[Music]
these people are guinea pigs they are
part of the experiment project 4.1
they're being returned to Rangga lap and
island a hundred miles from bikini by
the US Navy they were told repeatedly it
was safe to go home
this happy couple believed they were
going home to safety
the man is John and Jane the mayor of
Rangga lap the happy Savage from the
iron room in Chicago
his wife is majora and this is their
baby son Lakers they had no idea of the
horror that lay ahead
they are being returned to an island
described by a US Atomic Energy official
as by far the most contaminated place on
earth he added it will be interesting to
get a measure of human uptake when
people live in a contaminated
environment the people of Rangga lap
remained on their poison island for 28
years as guinea pigs the objects of
regular scientific examination
[Applause]

the island has pleaded with the US
authorities to move them to safety as
evidence emerged that the second
generation the children were also
poisoned
desperate to leave the island is called

this ship the Rainbow Warrior moved the
entire population
contaminated they called it operation
Exodus
this is dr. Robert Connor a leading
medical scientist of Brookhaven National
Laboratories Connor devoted his
distinguished career to examining the
Islanders
he wrote the habitation of these people
on the island will afford the most
valuable ecological radiation data on
human beings the various Radio isotopes
present can be traced from the soil to
the food chain and into human beings dr.
Kennard gained the trust of whole
communities when he brought the
Islanders to New York to be examined he
showed them the sites and had them over
for a barbecue
[Music]
when John and Jane Sun lay Kosh died
aged 18 dr. Kennard sent the man they
called a savage a sympathy card from
your friend Bob in 1957 majora and Jane

the danger she and her family faced this

certainly not by the US government
there's a clinic downtown in Montreux
there's also a whole whole body counter
you can have the plutonium in your body
measured as well anyone can for free
this is the plutonium measuring shop
with I'll tell you how radioactive you

lived a secure prosperous life now she
lives in a shack in the capital Majuro
with her children and grandchildren she
has no water no sanitation and never
like ever now the board give your mind
now that when I didn't we give it with
you maybe you're gonna be going to a new
moon when we get there and power she has
electricity
yeah my romantic dream
adela government in 1986 the United
States granted limited independence to
the Marshall Islands on condition that
they accepted a mere 150 million dollars
compensation for the damage caused by
nuclear testing a claims tribunal was
set up and soon ran out of money an
appeal to the US Congress more than a
decade ago still awaits a reply you love
a book eat your career you were a
minimum for maybe a knuckle of a table
right right but not yet
[Music]
Darleen kg Johnson was a young health
worker who became the champion of her
people after she discovered the full
extent of their suffering caused by
nuclear testing that many more islands
were poisoned than the Americans claimed
this remarkable speech in 1983 broke the
silence I bring greetings from the
Marshall Islands and throughout
Micronesia we have hundreds of women who
have miscarriages
we have leukemia cancers we have thyroid
cancers we have stillbirths babies we
have nowadays I just come back from home
and I have talked to many woman and men
in the population is that we have babies
we call jellyfish babies a babies one on
a labor table and it moves up and down
like this it's a colorful ugly thing if
it's not shaped like a human beings it
moves up and downs like this on a labor
table because that thing is breathing
that is a baby in 1982 Darlene married
gift Johnson the author of this tribute
to his wife Darlene was one of the
liveliest most entertaining individuals
that I have ever had the pleasure of
knowing she was a voice for the
voiceless
like so many Marshall Islanders Darlene
died of cancer aged 45
this is the largest of the islands
quadlin occupied by one of America's
most important and secretive bases known
as the Ronald Reagan test site it's a
missile launch pad that commands the
Pacific Ocean all the way to Asia and
China here the people of the Marshall
Islands of once again being subjected to
the testing of weapons of mass
destruction designed for a coming war
the bass is part of a remarkable plan
known as vision 2020 devised in the
1990s its aim is described officially as
full spectrum dominance this means
control of all land sea air cyberspace
and space
five-four-three-two-one almost 5,000
miles away the US Air Force tests its
intercontinental missiles by firing them
at the Marshall Islands
imagine a missile coming screaming out
of the sky it's absolutely terrifying
there I think that there's there's
really nothing that that I can imagine
that would be more terrifying than this
and and we're talking about devices that
any one of them could go off course none
of this disturbs life on the base where
small-town America has been recreated a
wonderland of the suburban good
fabulous but there's nothing better than
living on a tropical island
I pretty much have beachfront property
you know it's great I love it here
just across the bay is ebuy island known
as the slum of the pacific more than
12,000 people live here on a strip of
land less than a mile long many of them
refugees from what is now the missile
base and from Islands poisoned by
nuclear testing
every day people from e-bye are brought
to work on the missile base to water the
gardens and the golf course
then they are ferried back to their
poverty
this is apartheid in the Pacific
if I needs a lot of medicine medicine
education and job fissionable and fruits
vegetable and fruit here we are at the
tropical island and you need vegetable
and forever
fish vegetables and fruit were once
abundant on ebuy today fish is
contaminated by toxic pollutants said
the Environmental Protection Agency now
the only food most people can afford his
process and imported they have the
highest rate of diabetes in the world
[Music]
when someone gets really ill do they go
to the hospital over on the base because
they've got a pretty modern clinical
today they don't treat treat them with
medicine
please it's cool they're for taking the
plot and then extra so what happens when
somebody is serious real big and not to
anything the most consistent example
given is the example of the Ronald
Reagan missile site and ebuy next to it
on the Ronald Reagan missile site
there's a vivid example of the United
States golf courses and swimming pools
and all kinds of amenities right next to
it is what is called the slum of the
Pacific it's a it's a challenge eBay is
in great need right now we've talked
about infrastructure one of the projects
the US is working with our Australian
colleagues and with the Asian
Development Bank is a sewer and water
project desperately needed pretty by he
buys overcrowded the schools need repair
actually the US military did a survey
back in the 70s and found that the
sewers didn't work and the water didn't
run and the electricity wasn't there it
only happened not all that long ago they
found almost exactly the same thing why
why hasn't that been fixed there's
complete agreement that ebuy should be a
priority and not only because of the the
current activities of the Ronald Reagan
space and missile defense site but
there's also now an additional component
that is providing for global security
and that's the space fence project by
the Air Force
every missile fired on the Marshall
Islands by the US military costs 100
million dollars each
this derelict school bus is the only one
on ebuy they can't afford to replace it
the bass is not good for us the people
of Marshall Islands we have no need for
it
it's being used to test missiles to fire
at countries like China yes n anywhere
else if they want to what would you like
to see happen
I want our land back
this is Shanghai the historic port on
the Yangtze River China's greatest city
I had arranged to meet the American
author James Bradley whose latest
best-selling book the China Mirage
reveals an extraordinary hidden history
of American power and modern China it
was almost illegal for someone like me
to know a Chinese for almost all of
American history the Chinese came to
America to mine gold and build the
railroads and Americans decided we
didn't like the competition so in 1882
we had the Chinese Exclusion acts which
kept the Chinese out of the United
States for about a hundred years so you
have the largest population in the world
that can't come to the United States so
at just the point we're putting up the
Statue of Liberty saying we welcome
everybody
we were erecting a wall saying we
welcome everybody except those Chinese
fear of a rising China today is the
latest chapter in a history of
propaganda that presented the Chinese as
uncouth and infantile to Western popular
and political culture the Chinese became
the Yellow Peril and racial stereotypes
for the constant theme of fear and
threat
Boris color as the evil fool Manchu
his passion for power twisting his
brilliant mind
as a rebel is in the horrors of human
sacrifice and
behind the mask of fool man achoo
this character Chua of an entire people
concealed another agenda opium for the
American elite in the 19th century China
was a gold mine of drugs war in Delano
the grandfather of Franklin Delano
Roosevelt was the American opium king of
China he was the biggest American opium
dealer second to the British he welcomed
the first American ship into China to
help out with the opium wars a much of
the East Coast of America
Columbia Harvard Yale Princeton were
born from opium money the American
industrial revolution was funded by huge
pools of money where did this come from
it came from illegal drugs in the
biggest market in the world China let me
get this right the grandfather of
arguably the most liberal president
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a drug
runner yes sir Franklin Delano Roosevelt
never made much money in his life he had
public service jobs that were very lowly
paid but he had Yahtzee at summer homes
he had mansions in New York City the
kids went to private schools he
inherited a fortune from Warren Delano
his father who was the American opium
king of China if you scratch anyone with
the name Forbes in in their name John
Forbes carry Secretary of State John
Forbes carry that's the president's
Secretary of State yes sir you'll find
opium money his great-grandfather was an
opium dealer how big was opium money
opium money built the first industrial
city in the United States Lowell
Massachusetts it built the first five
railroads in the United States
opium money all over the East Coast but
it wasn't talked about it was called the
China trade and if you go to various
museums you can see teas and silks
exhibited and they keep quiet about all
that big opium money
in the scramble to get oaken money china
was invaded and colonized by Britain and
the other imperial powers foreign armies
grabbed pulse waves of China this is the
American army in Tiananmen Square Peking
in 1900 great cities like Shanghai were
taken over and declared concessions and
foreigners lived a life of privilege and
luxury amidst terrible poverty imposed
on the Chinese
[Music]
[Music]
a resistance known as the Boxer
Rebellion was put down with the savagery
this rape of China set the tone for how
China was perceived in the West well
into the 20th century this is the
distinguished historian Theodore H white
an advisor to the White House speaking
in the 1960s
perhaps China is too vast to be governed
by mercy yet of Chinese mind craves
order they must be brought to recognize
they are the biggest factor in the
world's disorder and we must untangle
the madness of their mind the most
difficult task in the world is to reach
the minds of men who hate you what White
was really complaining about was the
loss of a China that the Imperial West
could dominate and the defeat of general
Chiang kai-shek who were this famously
powerful Christian wife maling sung
guarded America's interests in China
that is until they were thrown out in
1949 by a communist revolution led by
Mao Zedong Mao had beaten chiang kai
checked three times in huge battles
involving millions of combatants Mao was
a winner in this contest from the early
1930s on but we knew very little about
it and people don't understand that even
today
[Music]
Shanghai here's the message clearly as
foreign businessmen board up their shops
go now go quickly for communism marches
take what you can
but flee in pell-mell haste the Western
powers evacuate the city they have built
for good and bad alike must leave the
businessmen come for profit as well as
missionaries come to heal must say
goodbye as out the Yangtze steams the
last of Western influence and farewell
to essentially even today it's difficult
to understand the paranoia ignited by
Mao's revolution
[Music]
as we look at China on the map we can
see that China is the basic cause of all
of our troubles in Asia I believe that
for the sake of our safety it is
necessary to be prepared for the
possibility of a Chinese missile attack
from the United States one of the myths
about now is that he was an implacable
enemy of the capitalist West
Shanghai today is a prosperous
international city still run by the
Communists at least in May
[Music]
when I was last in China more than a
generation ago the loudest noise was the
tinkling of bicycle bells
now just died the streets were dark the
universities were closed the chaos of
the Cultural Revolution had given way to
a great silence we're exhausted was the
freest comment I heard coming back the
change is barely comprehensible here in
Shanghai the freedom bears no comparison
yes there are issues with human rights
especially the right to speak against
the state and challenge its power since
I was last here millions of people have
been lifted out of poverty many of them
into an entirely new middle class this
epoch is still barely understood in the
West or should that be willfully
misunderstood the truth is the China has
matched America at his own great game of
capitalism and that is unforgivable
one measure of China's new capitalism is
the Iran Rich List this league table of
China's mega rich is published by Rupert
Hogan warth an older tone Ian his
Chinese name is who run he's received
many awards including China's Man of the
Year this year 2015 has probably been
the most extraordinary year of wealth
creation in the history of China again
you know in I've been doing this list
for 15 16 years I've never seen a year
like 2015 you know normally for 200
million pounds or 300 million dollars we
find say by 800,000 people this year of
2015 it's it's doubled there'll be more
dollar billionaires known about in China
than in the u.s. so the u.s. up until
now has been the leader in terms of
business you know the most successful
business tycoons in the world China 2015
would have overtaken the u.s. so amazing
modern China is full of telling ironies
not least this museum that was once the
house when Mao and his comrades secretly
founded the Communist Party of China in
1921
today it stands in the heart of an
exclusive very capitalist shopping
district
when you leave the shrine to China's
great revolution you're confronted by a
surreal spectacle for right outside
where the Chinese Communist Party was
born other very symbols of capitalism
Starbucks Apple Cartier Dolce Gabanna
and down there perhaps the free markets
greatest triumph bottled water that
ensures you live young costing six
pounds for a small bottle in my hotel
would now spin in his tomb if he was
here I'm not so sure
hidden history is always a key to the
truth five years before his great
Communist revolution in 1949 Mao sent
this secret message to Washington China
must industrialize wrote now this can
only be done by free-enterprise Chinese
and American interests fit together
economically and politically American
need not fear that we will not be
cooperative we cannot risk crossing
America we cannot risk any conflict now
receive no reply nothing has changed
miles say Tong was looking to be a
friend with the United States from the
beginning Mao says I will go meet
Franklin Roosevelt in the White House
mile reaches out 1952 Harry Truman he
reaches out to Dwight Eisenhower his
hand was tossed away
this opportunity that might have changed
history prevented Wars save countless
lives was lost because the truth of
Mao's overtures was denied in the
Washington of the 1950s State Department
officials who had carried mouse messages
were condemned unjustly as communist
traitors everybody who knew Mao who
spoke Chinese was gone in the 1950s the
State Department had no employees who
spoke Chinese it's resulted in us not
having relations with the number one
most populous country in the world in
1979 this man Deng Xiaoping became
China's paramount leader he said
socialism does not mean shared poverty
this was code for the most radical
reform since Mao's revolution the return
of capitalism to China but this time
controlled by the Communist Party
to be rich as glorious dane was reported
as saying America was now threatened by
the emergence of a vast image of itself
this is one of the many very exclusive
gated communities in Shanghai where an
apartment is one of the prizes of the
new communism
I had arranged to see professor Zhang
Wei Wei a close aide to the laid things
out ping the man who changed China done
is really extremely long turn visionary
leader with exceedingly long turn a
strategic vision for his country for his
people Chinese do you follow in that
path yeah actually this is really a
tradition from China's long history you
look at even like Mao he said we should
you know surpass UK by which year we
shall supply United States by which he
here so the tradition continues to this
the USA Jinping today is also doing the
same actually what many Chinese have
problem with Western media is this
theory types about China if you are you
contend with stereotypes you miss so
many things you know if BBC broadcast
something they are happy to always
mention this communist dictatorship this
autocracy now actually with this cotton
label you know you cannot understand
this China as it is but if you watch BBC
ocam or read Economist and try to
understand China it will be a failure
it's impossible multiple parties fight
for political power and everyone voting
on them as the only path to salvation to
the long-suffering necessarily
educated in America not typical of a new
confident outspoken Chinese political
class now in China there a lot of
problems but at the moment the Chinese
the party state has proven an
extraordinary ability to change I mean I
make the joke how in America you can
change political parties but you can't
change the policies in China you cannot
change the party but you can change
policies
in a 65 or 66 years China's being run by
one single party yet
the political changes that have taken
place in China in this past 66 years
have been wider and broader and greater
than probably any other major country in
modern memory so in that time China
seems to be communist is that what
you're saying well China is a market
economy and the vibrant market economy
but it is not a capitalist country
here's why there's no way a group of
billionaires to control the Politburo as
billionaires control American
policymaking so in China you have a
vibrant market economy but capital does
not rise above political authority
capital is not does not have enshrined
rights in America capital the interests
of capital and capital itself has risen
above the native the American nation the
political authority cannot check the
power of capital and that's why America
is a capitalist country but China is not
this is the ironic title of a
best-selling book by Zhang Li Jie a
journalist and critic who lives in
Beijing many Americans imagine that a
Chinese people live miserable repressed
to life with no freedom whatsoever
that's not quite so if you toss speak to
many ordinary Chinese people they will
tell you they feel their life are quite
free some 500 million people being
lifted out of poverty and someone would
say probably 600 million people that's a
great achievement for many Americans the
Yellow Peril has never left them I think
of the there's the fear about China of
course there's a fear of China's rapid
rise but it also has not to do with
China's
the label as a Communists and state
China's objectives are modest compared
with their weight they're not trying to
run the world they're not even trying to
run asia-pacific I think they want to
keep America from dominating the
asia-pacific so they have what they
believe is their rightful place in
asia-pacific because the lost
civilization long history and their size
so their objectives are really modest
compared with their capacity the the
wealth a new wealth in China they often
say this is this is the product of
self-made entrepreneurial skill but is
it not also the product of the
exploitation of people at the bottom
what are known in China as migrants but
they're not really migrants Chinese if
you really you know go to talk to these
migrant workers you will find quite
surprisingly over the past five to seven
years they have experienced greater
income increase then any other social
groups China not a car Society but China
is a class Society
these are the homes of migrant workers
people who build and service the new
China
here it's not uncommon for three
families to share one tiny flat
you know you would associate a socialist
country wizzy call with equality but
unfortunately since the reform has
started China has become one of the most
unequal society in the world the income
gap is widening government I feel have
retreated some of the responsibilities
left the markets to take over but the
market does not always treat women
kindly some private companies they were
just refused to high child bearing age
women and sometimes when women become
pregnant they were second because they
don't want to pay the maternity leave
and in fact the income gap has grown
much bigger between a man and woman
you're no boss thongs Epping presided
over the bloodshed in Tiananmen Square
what would you say to the survivors of
Tiananmen Square because so many of
those did fight for what they saw as
democratic change in China in 1989 there
were two political forces one was those
represented by the Chinese students
their hero was Mihai Gorbachev who
happened to be in Beijing mm-hmm their
slogan was Soviet Union's today China's
tomorrow mm-hmm so the idea was
political reform first as a reform
second otherwise channeled be hopeless
and then smash you what you opposite he
saw go Bertram was the idiot yeah he
thought you know China must have
economic reform first as a reform second
this priority must be said clearly
unfortunately at that particular moment
in 1989 the two political forces could
not reach a compromise so definitely a
tragedy occurred yeah it was more than a
tragedy it was a massacre of which the
memory remains a raw presence in modern
China why does the Chinese state still
fear the few the few who speak out and
I'm thinking of Lucille Ball exactly I
mean there's a man won the Nobel Peace
Prize and and he's in prison he's
violating a Chinese law you know by a
big margin so actually the free of
expression similar views are aired by
many people but he's really going to the
extreme
blue chapeau challenged the government
to implement democratic reforms and the
spent a total of 13 years in prison why
can't a confident China accept a
criticism like that
so Nobel Peace Committee makes huge
mistake
the owe the Chinese an explanation if
you cross the line costs you a violent
Constitution you write so many laws you
should be punished
and yet in China today the spirit of
protest and dissent lives on in
different forms in 2015 strikes and
community protests and activism reached
record levels this resistance is seldom
reported in the West so there lots of
protests in China typically for example
land being grabbed by officials - for
commercial development and the farmers
are not being compensated properly but
the farmers now no more aware of their
rights of the protest or young workers
from the factory they demand a better
wage of a better working condition but
many of the protests there are economic
driven not political driven they are
regional not national right so this kind
of things were unlikely developing into
real movement or so-called you call that
revolution so the Mao's revolution was
the last revolution

the Japanese island of Okinawa is
occupied by 32 military installations
from here the United States is attacked
Korea Vietnam Cambodia Afghanistan Iraq
the sky is full of planes and
helicopters
wherever people go they are fenced in
and told to keep out
Okinawa is the frontline of a beckoning

Fumiko is a survivor a quarter of the
civilians on the island were killed in

of war has been passed through the
generations
[Music]
today those who witness these Horrors
live in a place of extraordinary beauty
surrounded by coral reefs and a unique
marine life
[Music]
it was here in Henoko Bay that the
survivors of World War two sought refuge
and it's this they're now fighting to
save it's an epic struggle that pits
these Island people against the greatest
military power on earth
this is the office of a former governor
of Okinawa Otto masa he D what he has
done is create not so much a museum but
an appeal to the outside world to
understand the resistance in Okinawa to
understand the suffering to read its
hidden history it begins in 1945 when
the Americans invaded here is General
MacArthur arriving in Okinawa a second
invasion happened ten years later in
what became known as the bulldozers and
bayonets campaign American forces seized
prime agricultural land burned farm
houses and killed livestock the
dispossessed people of Okinawa marched
the length of Japan appealing for help
this fall is devoted to a resistance in
Okinawa that never ceases everywhere
people go on the island they are
confronted by this sign it tells them
they must not go past this fence topped
with barbed wire these fences run like
great ribbons across the island and the
bases themselves cuffs ways across
Okinawa but all around them are people
with this continuing demonstration this
continuing resistance and they have a
message it's people of the world watch
what Japan and the US are doing don't
let them force the bases are organized
the system you know I talk saying good
to talk stomach region looks to tell me
yeah that we picked up at all you don't

base at Camp Schwab
but you gotta jump on it
so no wonder what
the New Year's celebration of their
victory was bittersweet the government
in Tokyo presented this unprecedented
challenge to its authority the issue is
now in the Japanese courts japan's Prime
Minister Shinzo Abbey has also made
clear that were the backing of his
powerful patron America he wants to
reawaken Japanese nationalism and
reclaim its military power
while we were filming the ceremony
outside the base on a day where people
paid respect to their department loved
ones a giant American helicopter circled
above us intimidating
the threat of these low-flying aircraft
is a constant presence in Okinawa
teachers often can't teach because of
the noise and the fear
[Music]
this was the carnage when an American

the latest threat is this hybrid plane

[Music]
[Music]
wherever the military is based in Asia
there is a relationship with local
people especially women that often
breathes resentment
in Okinawa this resentment ignited a
riot in 1970 scores of American GIs were
pulled from their cars which were set
alight for Washington and it's compliant
Ally in Tokyo it's this kind of
insurrection but they fear during the
making of this film a young woman was
raped and murdered allegedly by an
American military contractor from one of
the bases island
this is a mace missile designed to carry
a nuclear warhead during the Cold War
the United States secretly installed
nuclear weapons at this launch pad in
Okinawa most of them were aimed at China
today the nuclear missile site is run by
a buddhist organization the Soka Gakkai
as a peace museum in 1962 the atomic
weapons are oil on the missile was
almost launched the room was launched
yeah according to the spokesman of this
military base said they were ordered to
prepare then received second order to
stop it one of the American servicemen
his job was to fire the mace missiles
has since revealed that China was a
nuclear target during the Cuban Missile
Crisis in 1962 we were told that we had
to launch all the missiles but we only
had one missile headed towards Russia
and we did not see why we should have to
involve the other countries the captain
suggested that everybody cracked the
doors open so it would take less time to
launch a missile that the doors were
cracked open
one of the launch crews was on the point
of firing them missiles when a duty
officer suspected the order was false
they also shown to be silenced Oh send
two men over there was 45s and to shoot
anybody that tried to launch until
situation was resolved and it would only
take like 1520 seconds to run the
distance between the two of command
centers so those two men kept that whole
crew at bay
well we made a decision as what to do
and it wasn't very long maybe two or
three seconds later we're a very nervous
major came over the intercom is suing
the stand down order and then we just
looked at each other all right we could
have exterminated the whole planet the
major who had given the launch order was
quietly court-martialed and dismissed
from the Air Force
that morning is just as familiar to me
and as clear as yesterday morning is and
this is 53 years later and how clear and
blue the sky was and it was just
something very light clouds and there
was a perfect breeze blowing a perfect
temperature
I did not know what the temperature was
but it's just felt perfect and we were
all just kind of taking it in and taking
in the smell of the air and the sea and
the land mixed it together and
everything smells so beautiful this is
very interesting because it shows the
cities in China where these mace
missiles were they met yes which which
ones do we have here this Okinawa Island
so within 2,000 kilometers you find
akima Beijing Chien UK and Hong Kong
Shanghai is Taiwan Taipei and Kong young
North Korea within the range of missile
[Music]
this is the work of the Okinawan
sculptor Kinjo Maduro it's a tribute to
the suffering and resistance of the
people of this island
more than a thousand miles away on the
Korean island of Jeju
these symbols of struggle are hauntingly
similar the work of Korean sculptor Co
Gil Chun represents another fight of
Island people for freedom
[Music]
a semi-tropical sanctuary of unusual
beauty Jeju Island is a world heritage
site the government of South Korea
declared it an island of world peace
but on this island of peace has been
built one of the most provocative
military bases in the world less than
400 miles from Shanghai
like Okinawa and the Marshall Islands
this is America's front line in its
so-called pivot to Asia here in once
unspoiled Gangjeong village the South
Korean navy has built a base for
American aircraft carriers nuclear
submarines and destroyers equipped with
the aegis ballistic missile aimed at
China's defenses
China's lifelines to the world in oil
trade resources depend on shipping that
comes through choke points like this the
u.s. pivot end of the Asia Pacific is
really intended to create the ability to
put a loaded gun to the head of China
and say you know you will do as we say
otherwise we will be able to restrict we
will be able to shut down choke off your
importation of oil and other resources
[Applause]
[Music]
for nine years every day often twice a
day these Catholic priests have staged
the mass that blocks the gates of the
new military face on jg-1 in a country
where political demonstrations can be
easily religions
Jeong Runa has led the fight the pace
being built
and several times suffered serious
injury I sing for summers in everything
before mastering the mess at the end of
the mass and the end of the Rosary yeah
the the content of song is very
beautiful the the writer and the
composer is the musician from this
island so I love him very much and he
gave me the song if I practice and I
became a master to sing that song
because I practice everything he truly
do you see it with such passion
sometimes and we just reached typhoon we
could take on the strap
did you sing then - you have a mass when
the typhoon right oh yeah getting no
exemption what will happen if this base
becomes operational they have destroyed
the environment that destroyed life of
villages no we should be witness of that
oppression violence to me what do they
do it well they direct new destiny very
holy area right they'd like to make a
china isolated in this career it is US
government want to be enter of this
world

Ramirez another him
this is the center of an empire that
never speaks its name whose power is
represented in this extraordinary world
map of American military bases 4,000
bases in the United States almost a
thousand bases spread across every
continent the archipelago of Empire the
bases that we have around the world
hidden in plain sight either the real
territory of our empire but at the same
time we maintain independent governments
in Japan or South Korea or Germany they
don't have autonomy when it comes to
foreign policy so it's a very
sophisticated and effective system where
whereby we pat ourselves on the back for
helping to Midwife democracy and Japan
and Germany and South Korea and various
other places while keeping the lid on in
that we don't know what these countries
would do if they were fully independent
and and the beauty of this system is
that most people pay no attention to it
at all they think it's just the natural
occurrence to have 50,000 American
troops in in Japan there's no country
that has better anti-imperial credit
cred then the United States and we are
not trying to recreate the glories of
the British Empire we're arguing that
the world is round we have a global
policy and all nations have global
rights no ocean has ever been dominated
the way the u.s. dominates the Pacific
Navy and Air Force they claim in the
Pearl Harbor headquarters of the Pacific
Command they claim to be responsible for
52 percent of the earth surface and when
you look at their logo it shows an eagle
over the Aleutian Islands with one tail
on coming down somewhere near Seattle
and the other coming down right over
Beijing
so Beijing looks at a network of bases a
real archipelago of Empire that's been
built up since the Korean War you have
had and still have an arc of a basis
that start in Australia and go through
notice if ik
we have no basis in Australia you have
Pine Gap you have Darwin and you have a
new facility in Western Australia no to
speak precisely we have no military
bases in Australia what we do is operate
with and in Australian bases yeah but
we're not in the basing business
nowadays there's a growing collection of
what are referred to as lilypad bases
these are bases that have typically to
300 troops no family members very few
amenities and are often quite secretive
their bases that are frequently
constructed within a foreign country's
base to disguise it and and generally
are not referred to as bases many of
these bases have been set up to combat
China's worldwide economic influence
from these bases the United States
operates a secret army in a hundred and
forty seven countries if you're gonna be
a free country rather than given every
gangster regime in the world you're
gonna have to take a risk because those
gangsters they want to they they want to
eliminate good people in the world so
they can have an in China they want to
dominate all of all of the Far East they
want to dominate just like Japan wanted
to before World War two their goal was
to dominate that part of the world today
the because there has been no political
reform in Beijing these guys want to
dominate a huge chunk of the planet why
light struggle and Rukavina business is
served on America's national defense
channel he's a military strategist and
war planner
you've written that airstrikes and naval
blockades have a role to play in
punishing China you've described the
need for sea mines you've described the
need for special forces u.s. special
forces and missiles placed in islands
this sounds like a preparation for war
our our first president George
Washington said if you want peace
prepare for war and essentially what the
United States is doing again is
responding to provocative behavior on
the part of China and just as we did in
the Cold War the idea was to have a
position of military strength such that
your adversaries were not tempted to act
in aggressive ways or try and employ
coercion to get their way maybe just
last week the US Navy sent a guided
missile destroyer in to the Spratly
Islands and South China Sea and what was
different about this I think was that
Chinese fighters scrambled that sounds
like an escalator
well the again from an American
perspective the the escalation was the
Chinese speeding to militarize these
islands in the first place
move
it's military capabilities doubt into
that region engaging in provocative
behavior against the commercial
activities and military forces of other
minor countries in the region that have
claim to those islands so it's a
response to Chinese intimidation rather
excuse me how is commerce being
intimidated in the South China Sea
there have been no military forces no
military bases there the China except
the United States military base not in
the South China Sea and not even in the
Philippines because the United States
withdrew its forces in the Philippines
but the United States is back in the
Philippines the Philippines and the
United States have announced five
different locations scattered all
throughout the Philippines where US
troops will be stationed on a rotational
basis this threat to China from yet more
US bases on its doorstep
was not an issue when an arbitration
tribunal ruled against China's claims to
the strategic Spratly Islands in the
South China Sea in 2015 the US Navy
rehearsed a blockade that would cut
China's lifelines of oil and trade and
raw materials the danger of
confrontation grows by the day the US
Navy is on the doorstep of China
regardless of disputed islands and is
there with low draft ships planes battle
groups it's right on the doorstep
what if Chinese ships what if the
equivalent was off California well John
we ask ourselves that question regularly
and it's it's important to put yourself
in the other guys shoes yeah so look we
don't operate in the Pacific in an
effort to scare China to contain China
to backfoot China our operations in our
presence first of all is warmly welcomed
by the vast majority of the coastal
States but secondly is fully accepted by
the Chinese time after time is it excuse
me is it fully accepted yes mine prayer
by their by their words the China star
says scared and this is what they're
scared of a new sub base is right around
China missiles bombers drones warships a
provocation of war today I state clearly
and with conviction America's commitment
to seek the peace and security of a
world without nuclear weapons under
Obama nuclear warheads spending is risen
higher than under any president since
the end of the Cold War it's all a
magician's show because at the same time
that Obama is talking about that not
only is he spending a trillion dollars
to modernize US nuclear forces but he's
deploying these missile defense systems
to encircle Russia and China which makes
it impossible to get rid of nuclear
weapons in that climate everybody wants
to look like they're tough see I got to
be tough I got to show you know I'm not
afraid of doing anything military I'm
not afraid of threatening I'm you know
I'm a hairy chested gorilla and you know
and you don't want to look like you're
weak so what you do is you talk more and
more aggressively and and you let and if
you don't want to do it yourself because
you maybe think it doesn't look very
presidential you let somebody under you
do the talking and we have gotten into a
state the United States has gotten into
a situation where there's a lot of
military you know saber-rattling and its
really being orchestrated from the top
you know this seems incredibly dangerous
all of this that's an understatement I
think but I agree
when you routinely plan for mass murder
you've become conditioned to it that's
what this is we accept it oh yeah we
haven't had nuclear weapons the defense
secretary he's just announced that there
will be warships and Special Forces and
planes sent to the Philippines and the
Wall Street Journal has described this
as the vanguard of a major US presence
in Southeast Asia that sounds like where
does this end what's what's the purpose
I mean where are we gonna stop this
process before it starts to war and then
if the worst starts where does that end
[Music]
the scientific studies that I teach by
the scientists that predict that the
earth can be made essentially
uninhabitable from nuclear war the
scientists have been begging the Obamas
tration well they wouldn't say begging
but they've made multiple requests to
meet with them discuss these predictions
because they're peer-reviewed studies
and they've been turned down over and
over again they've been peripherally
told that well we don't think the
long-term environmental consequences of
nuclear war all that important if the
immediate effects of nuclear war don't
stop it
but the long-term environmental
consequences of nuclear or reliable to
wipe out the human race in oneexchange
nuclear exchange between the US and
China what could be the consequences
well let me just give you an example of
what one Chinese four or five Megaton
warhead would do to a city in the United
States forgot through the detonation of
that weapon over our city would
instantly ignite about six or seven
hundred square miles on fire and within
20 to 30 minutes all of those fires
would coalesce into a single gigantic
firestorm there'd be no escape from it
so all the people there would perish so
the u.s. with say hundreds of nuclear
weapons on Chinese cities well when you
combine all the smoke from these nuclear
weapons detonating it actually creates
millions of tons of black carbon smoke
will rise above cloud level into the
stratosphere it's heated by the Sun it's
acts like a solar collector and that
smoke because of that will stay there
for ten years or longer and what the
smoke does is to block swarming sunlight
from reaching the surface of the earth
and it become so cold in a matter of
just a couple of weeks that will the
temperatures will fall below freezing
every day for one to three years and it
will become too cold to grow food crops
for at least ten years or longer
I mean there's this like a total
disconnect with the changing world you
have a giant rising power in this case
China why would you expect a giant
rising power to not want to have more
control over its destiny what we should
be doing in my view is trying to
cultivate a sense of friendship and
cooperation and we can have our
differences with them if we think
they're doing something in trade that we
don't like let's have it out with them
but this saber-rattling is the worst
thing we can possibly do
it is time to show the whole world that
America is back bigger and better and
stronger than ever before
we don't have victories anymore we used
to have victories but we don't have them
when was the last time anybody saw us
beating let's say China in a trade deal
they kill us we can't continue to allow
China to rape our country and that's
what they're doing it's the greatest
theft in the history of the world
the new President Donald Trump has a
problem with China the urgent question
now is will Trump continue with the
provocations revealed in this film and
take us all to the edge of war there
never have been two countries more
interdependent on each other than China
in the u.s. in history and China is the
largest trading nation in the world and
in history so China's economy and and
their society their lives are linked to
the entire world including America and
the West and law and all the other
countries so so I think interdependence
between these two countries and among
all the nations of the world speak to
peace

we don't have to accept the word of
those who conjure up threats and false
enemies that justify the business and
profit of war if we recognize there is
another superpower and that's us
ordinary people everywhere like the
people of Okinawa Jeju Island the
Marshall Islands China the United States
by speaking out they deliver a warning
to all of us
can we really afford to be silent
we meet again don't know where
don't know where but I know we meet
again some sunny day
smiling through just like you always do
till the blue skies drive the dark
clouds far away
so will you please say hello to the
folks that I know tell them I won't be
long they'll be happy to know that is
you saw me gone I was singing this song
we meet again don't no way
don't know why but I know we meet again
some sunny day
I
