Chinese general: U.S. foreign policy has ‘erectile dysfunction’.
Zhu Chenghu is a bald, combative man with an unremarkable appearance but a remarkable sense of the inflammatory. The Chinese two-star general, the dean of China’s National Defense University and one of the nation’s leading military minds, displayed that predilection once more a few days ago.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel had just delivered a speech criticizing China’s aggression in its maritime disputes with its Asian neighbors. The speech made Zhu very unhappy. “The Americans are making very, very important strategic mistakes right now,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
He called Hagel hypocritical. “Whatever the Chinese do is illegal, and whatever the Americans do is right,” he said. “If you take China as an enemy, China will absolutely become the enemy of the U.S. If the Americans take China as an enemy, we Chinese have to take steps to make ourselves a qualified enemy of the U.S. But if the Americans take China as a friend, China will be a very loyal friend.”
But Zhu wasn’t done with U.S. officials yet. He made additional remarks on a Chinese-language television station in Singapore, according to the Wall Street Journal. He said he wasn’t convinced the United States, which he called a declining power, would intervene in any territorial disputes between China and any of its Asian neighbors. His evidence: Ukraine.
“We can see from the situation in Ukraine this kind of ED” — which the Journal reports he explained meant “extended deployment” — “has become the male type of ED problem: erectile dysfunction.”
