On March 14, the 10th National People's Congress of China passed the Anti-Secession Law, which gained the attention of international society. An anonymous source high inside the CCP government disclosed to the Epoch Times reporter details of a meeting between Jiang Zemin and the new preeminent leader Hu Jintao. Jiang advised Hu that attacking Taiwan is a good way to relieve all kinds of issues inside China and maintain the CCP’s power. The decision to attack does not depend on whether Taiwan claims it is independent. Prior to his stepping down from the Military Committee, Jiang also set a detailed plan of attacking Taiwan. It is not clear at this point whether Hu Jintao will execute such a strategy.

Hong Kong Sing Pao Daily News quoted insiders on March 13 that Jiang Zemin’s advice to Hu Jintao before his resignation as China Military Committee Chairman was that “if we have to attack Taiwan, the earlier the better.” It is also reported that the book “Biography of Jiang Zemin,” written by American author Robert Kuhn, disclosed that when Chen Shuibian won the Taiwan election in 2000, Jiang Zemin instructed Cao Gangchuang to draft military strategies for attacking Taiwan. Jiang is reported to have said “if we have to take military action, the earlier the better.”

Recently a source high in the Communist Party disclosed to the Epoch Times reporter that “Jiang Zemin called a meeting around the 2004 New Year to set up the timeline for attacking Taiwan, the purpose was to resolve conflicts inside China, no matter whether Taiwan announce independence or not. Currently the four biggest issues China faces are the financial crisis, corruption, economic crisis and unemployment. Since former Premier Zhu Rongji stepped down, tariff income on imports into China dropped 30%.”

The detailed steps of attacking Taiwan are as follows:

1. Prior to 2008, every policy should center one the Olympics to further arouse Chinese people’s patriotism and prepare for attacking Taiwan.
   
2. Around 2010, reorganize the Party and clean out all the members who are against military action.
   
3. Around 2012, attack Taiwan and call for an Emergency Act inside China.
   
   1. Through the Emergency Act, the CCP could confiscate private property, especially people’s savings, to resolve its financial and economic crises
      
   2. Eliminate the groups inside China that the CCP deems "anti-government forces", such as Falun Gong, unofficial churches, human rights activists, advocates for Tibetan independence, advocates for the independence of Xinjian, and intellectuals.
      
   3. Arouse Chinese people’s patriotism through the Emergency Act in order to resolve the unemployment issue.

The source disclosed that when the CCP recently amended the Constitution protecting private property, the possibility of confiscating private property was left open. When discussing whether to use the term “sacred and inviolable” for rights to private property, as with state-owned properties, the conclusion was to take out the term “sacred.” The purpose was to allow the confiscation of private property under the sacred reason of protecting the country if the Emergency Act is called for.

The high level CCP official worried that all these steps means China is closer to fascism. He thinks the passage of Anti-Secession Law will give the right of calling for military actions to the CCP chairman.

The source also disclosed that supporters of such a strategy are second generation CCP leaders such as Buo Yibuo’s son Buo Xilai.

Observers believe the reason the CCP turns more strongly towards the Taiwan issue is to relieve the escalating conflicts inside China, calling for people’s nationalism to maintain the CCP’s power.
