China will likely replace the USA as world leader, said = Bill=20 Clinton in a recent Washington Post interview. It is just a = matter=20 of time. Clinton should know. He has personally done more to = build=20 China=92s military strength than any man on earth.=20

Most Americans have heard of the so-called "Chinagate" = scandal.=20 Few understand its deadly import, however. Web sites such as = "Chinagate for Dummies" and its companion "More Chinagate = for=20 Dummies" offer some assistance.=20

Unfortunately, with a combined total of nearly 8,000 = words, these=20 two sites =96 like so many others of the genre =96 offer = more detail=20 than most of us "dummies" can absorb.

For that reason, in the 600 words left in this column, I = will try=20 to craft my own "Idiot=92s Guide to Chinagate," dedicated to = all those=20 busy folks like you and me whose attention span tends to = peter out=20 after about 750 words.=20

Here goes.

When Bill Clinton took office in 1993, China presented no = threat=20 to the United States. Chinese missiles "couldn=92t hit the = side of a=20 barn," notes Timothy W. Maier of Insight magazine. Few could = reach=20 North America and those that made it would likely miss their = targets.

Thanks to Bill Clinton, China can now hit any city in the = USA,=20 using state-of-the-art solid-fueled missiles with = dead-accurate,=20 computerized guidance systems and multiple warheads.

China probably has suitcase nukes as well. These enable = China to=20 strike by proxy =96 equipping nuclear-armed terrorists to do = its dirty=20 work while the Chinese play innocent. Some intelligence = sources=20 claim that China maintains secret stockpiles of chemical, = biological=20 and nuclear weapons on U.S. soil, for just such = contingencies.

In 1997, Clinton allowed China to take over the Panama = Canal. The=20 Chinese company Hutchison Whampoa leased the ports of = Cristobal and=20 Balboa, on the east and west openings of the canal, = respectively,=20 thus controlling access both ways.=20

A public outcry stopped Clinton in 1998 from leasing = California's=20 Long Beach Naval Yard to the Chinese firm COSCO. Even so, = China can=20 now strike U.S. targets easily from its bases in Panama, = Vancouver=20 and the Bahamas.

How did the Chinese catch up so fast? Easy. We sold them = all the=20 technology they needed =96 or handed it over for free. = Neither neglect=20 nor carelessness is to blame. Bill Clinton did it on = purpose.

As a globalist, Clinton promotes "multipolarity" =96 the = doctrine=20 that no country (such as the USA) should be allowed to gain = decisive=20 advantage over others.

To this end, Clinton appointed anti-nuclear activist = Hazel=20 O'Leary to head the Department of Energy. O'Leary set to = work=20 "leveling the playing field," as she put it, by giving away = our=20 nuclear secrets. She declassified 11 million pages of data = on U.S.=20 nuclear weapons and loosened up security at weapons labs.

Federal investigators later concluded that China made off = with=20 the "crown jewels" of our nuclear weapons research under = Clinton=92s=20 open-door policy =96 probably including design = specifications for=20 suitcase nukes.

Meanwhile, Clinton and his corporate cronies raked in = millions.

In his book "The China Threat," Washington Times = correspondent=20 Bill Gertz describes how the system worked.=20

Defense contractors eager to sell technology to China = poured=20 millions of dollars into Clinton's campaign. In return, = Clinton=20 called off the dogs. Janet Reno and other = counterintelligence=20 officials stood down while Lockheed Martin, Hughes = Electronics,=20 Loral Space & Communications and other U.S. companies = helped=20 China modernize its nuclear strike force.

"We like your president. We want to see him re-elected," = former=20 Chinese intelligence chief Gen. Ji Shengde told Chinagate = bagman=20 Johnny Chung.

Indeed, Chinese intelligence organized a massive covert = operation=20 aimed at tilting the 1996 election Clinton's way.

Clinton's top campaign contributors for 1992 were Chinese = agents;=20 his top donors in 1996 were U.S. defense contractors selling = missile=20 technology to China.

Clinton recieved funding directly from known or suspected = Chinese=20 intelligence agents, among them James and Mochtar Riady, who = own the=20 Indonesian Lippo Group; John Huang; Charlie Trie; Ted = Sioeng; Maria=20 Hsia; Wang Jun and others.

Commerce Secretary Ron Brown served as Clinton's front = man in=20 many Chinagate deals. When investigators began probing = Brown's Lippo=20 Group and Chinagate connections, Brown died suddenly in a = suspicious=20 April 1996 plane crash.

Needless to say, China does not share Clinton's = enthusiasm for=20 globalism or multipolarity. The Chinese look out for No. 1.

"War [with the United States] is inevitable; we cannot = avoid it,"=20 said Chinese Defense Minister Gen. Chi Haotian in 2000. "The = issue=20 is that the Chinese armed forces must control the initiative = in this=20 war."

Bill Clinton has given them a good start.=20
