Rupert Murdoch will never enlighten you about this.

China was once a great power and a great civilization.

However, from 1820 began her GREAT HUMILIATION. It was spearheaded by Ava Gardner and Charleston Heston in their 55 Days in Peking. 

The abyss of its GREAT HUMILIATION was when Great Britain gave to the Iraqi Jewish family, the Sassoons the sole right to sell the premier of all opiods, opium itself across all China; and the government of China could do nothing about it but to accede to Great Britain's "right" to do so.

It is for this, that China has developed the People's Liberation Army to the extent that it has. Within its jurisdiction is not only its Army but also its Air Force and Navy.

It has only one task, to ensure the rejuvenation of China and to ensure its continuing developmen. 

For this China has gone to extra-ordinary lengths to celebrate its 90th anniversary:
