China Uses War Words; Tells USA "Don't Say We Didn't Warn You"
WORLD
31 MAY 2019
The biggest Chinese newspaper explicitly warned the U.S. on Wednesday that China would cut off rare earth minerals as a countermeasure in the escalated trade battle, using a history-laden expression the publication has used ahead of full-on wars.
“We advise the U.S. side not to underestimate the Chinese side’s ability to safeguard its development rights and interests. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!” the People’s Daily said in a commentary titled “United States, don’t underestimate China’s ability to strike back.” The publication is the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China.
The phrase “Don’t say we didn’t warn you” has been used before by the People’s Daily . . . in 1962 before China’s border war with India and ahead of the 1979 China-Vietnam War.
“Will rare earths become a counter weapon for China to hit back against the pressure the United States has put on for no reason at all? The answer is no mystery,” the paper said.
The trade conflict between the world’s two largest economies escalated quickly this month with both sides slapping tariffs on billions of dollars worth of each other’s goods. China’s threat to restrict rare earth mineral sales to the U.S. came after President Donald Trump blacklisted Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which led to many chipmakers and internet companies cutting ties with the company.
The speculation about China’s payback first surfaced when Chinese President Xi Jinping visited rare earth mining and processing facilities in Jiangxi province during a domestic tour last week. A Chinese official warned Tuesday that products made from the materials should not be used against China’s development, which was seen as a veiled threat aimed at the U.S. and its technology industry.
China’s rare earth materials are crucial to the production of iPhones, electric vehicles and advanced precision weapons, although the imports were a relatively small part of the $420 billion U.S. goods deficit with China in 2018.
The Chinese tabloid Global Times also said Tuesday that China can play the “rare earths card” and that it’s “seriously considering” the move.
The stock market took a big hit amid the tit-for-tat strategies between the U.S. and China, with stocks poised to post their first negative month of the year. The S&P 500 has lost nearly 6% this month.
The Existence of this web site is now in Jeopardy.
Today, May 31, is the final calendar day for me to raise the funding needed to continue this site and the radio show it is founded upon. Since May 22 when Fund Raising began, $1,930.17 has come in via Donations. That leaves me short by $1,090. I need to raise that money today or else the fees to pay for this site and the radio show cannot be paid in full. Suppliers DO NOT accept partial payments.
So we are literally at our "Time's Up" moment. If you come to this site occasionally for breaking news, or news that the mass-media simply does not cover, and you enjoy what you find here, I IMPLORE YOU to please make a donation right now. Every little bit helps. If 500 people donated a measly $2 each, the site costs would be covered. Of course, some may donate $5 or $10, or $20. But DOING NOTHING is what so many have done for so long, that the existence of this news web site is now in very real jeopardy. PLEASE click the yellow DONATE button in the right column and use either your credit/debit or Paypal account to contribute. There is no more time left. Help out or this site gets shut off for non-payment. It's not my choice; it's just the way it is.
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/china-uses-war-words-tells-usa-don-t-say-we-didn-t-warn-you不要說我們沒有警告過你”這句話在人民日報的歷史上僅僅使用過三次
第一次是在1962 年中國與印度的邊界戰爭之前，第二次是1979 年的中越戰爭之前。歷史已經告訴我們這兩次警告後發生了什麼。這第三次將會帶來什麼樣的後果呢？
這次是第八次了，
但是人民日報和新華社的層級還是不太一樣的。根據評論提示，只有人民日報發表署名為鍾聲的文章中說到“勿謂言之不預”才是終極武器。
第一次
毛澤東《中共發言人關於命令國民黨政府逮捕岡村寧次和內戰罪犯的談話》：此事你們要完全負責任，倘有逃逸情事，必以縱匪論處，絕不姑寬，勿謂言之不預。
第二次
抗美援朝，週總理曾經警告美國，美軍越過北緯38°線，中國將出兵朝鮮。麥克阿瑟置若罔聞，結果抗美援朝戰爭開啟了。
第三次
1962年9月22日，《人民日報》發表題為《是可忍，孰不可忍》的社論。這篇社論就侵入“麥克馬洪線”以北的印軍“向我邊防哨兵進攻，造成我邊防軍官和士兵的傷亡”發出了異常嚴厲的警告：“中國人民決不能容忍自己的國土任意被印度侵占，決不能坐視自己的邊防人員慘遭殺害！是可忍，孰不可忍！”那時候的原話是這樣的：“局勢是險惡的，後果是嚴重的，我們正告印度當局，勿謂言之不預也”。
第四次
珍寶島戰役。
1967年7月3日，蘇聯間諜在我國竊取情報，新華社就發文提出警告，結尾使用了“勿謂言之不預也”，隨後多次抓捕蘇間諜。結果1969年，珍寶島戰爭爆發。
第五次
對越自衛反擊戰
1978年12月25日，《人民日報》的社論《我們的忍耐是有限度的》也用了這樣的警告：“我們要嚴正警告越南當局，如果你們仗恃有蘇聯的支持，得寸進尺，繼續恣意妄為，必將受到應得的懲罰。我們把話說在前面，勿謂言之不預。”
第六次
2012年釣魚島問題上，新華社發微博警告：勿謂言之不預。
第七次
2018中美貿易戰，新華社微博再次發出勿謂言之不預的警告。
第八次
人民日報發表署名為“五月荷”的文章，文章中說“奉勸美方不要低估中方維護自身發展權益的能力，勿謂言之不預！”
