Soon after the horrific attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, two high-ranking Chinese military planners took credit for the 9/11 attacks – and were even hailed as national heroes in China.
In fact, three years before 9/11, the Chinese colonels had proposed the attacks and cited Osama bin Laden by name in their book "Unrestricted Warfare.” (Click Here for more info on book.)
The authors of "Unrestricted Warfare” are Senior Cols. Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui, and in 1999 they wrote that an attack by bin Laden on the World Trade Center would be just the type of "unrestricted warfare” that could bring down America.
The book was published by China’s People’s Liberation Army and had the endorsement of the Chinese government.
"Unrestricted Warfare” makes clear its purpose: offering China and other "weak” countries a strategy to destroy the U.S. without a full-scale invasion, using unusual or "asymmetrical” warfare.

They told the paper, "The series of attacks taking place in the United States were very dreary and terrifying, but they must not be viewed from a single perspective” – that is, the U.S. as victims. The colonels then added coldly that the Americans "were victims of U.S. foreign policy.”
The colonels were quick to take credit for the attacks on the World Trade Center, telling the paper their strategy had worked and that "September 11, 2001 very likely is the beginning of the decline of the United States, as a superpower."
"From a short-term perspective, the attacks in the United States will very likely have some effect on China's economy – they might affect China's economic growth. However, from a long-term viewpoint, they could be favorable to China."

i think the topic title is a bit misleading,
it may have been their strategy in their book
but it doesn't mean there is a direct link between
China and the actual bringing down the towers on 9/11.
I didn't see any proof presented that would corroborate
this theory. Just because I write a book about flying cars
in the future and in 2045, it actually happens. Does that mean
I'm the one responsible for flying cars? I think not.
Now if the book had went into details about particulars
of that event and was found to be proved, then it might
be a different story. But it is not my opinion that China
had anything to do with 9/11 other than an overall
socio-economic prediction.
