SUMMARY: {U} PRESTIGIOUS PRC MILITARY JOURNAL INCLUDES AN ARTICLE ON THE MILITARY USE OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE PARA-PSYCHOLOGICAL CONCEPTS. TEXT: 1. {U} THIS REPORT SUMMARIZES AN ARTICLE FROM THE PRC PUBLICATION "MILITARY WORLD" VOL. 2, NO. 1, JAN/FEB 1989. TILIS ARTIC ENTITLED "THE MYSTERIOUS AND INCREDIBLE UANGUA GJ Nom' DISCUSSES A CHINESE VERSION OF PARA-PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENA AND TELEPATHY. THE SUMMARY OF THE ARTICLE IS FOLLOWS. QUOTE-- WHAT ARE THE CAPABILITIES OF YUANGUANGJING? IN THE MILITARY FIELD, IT IS CAPABLE OF DETECTING ENEMY MILITARY PLANS, WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT, COMMAND AND COMMUNICATION AND INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION SYSTEMS, FIELD EXERCISE DISPOSITIONS, TRACKING ARTIFICIAL SATELLITES, SPACESHIPS, AIRCRAFT, VEHICLES AND WARSHIPS FROM WHICH TO GAIN TIMELY INFORMATION ON ENEMY MOVEMENTS AND INTENTIONS. IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO DETECT, THROUGH THE HUMAN CONSTITUTION, THE THINKING PROCESSES, MORAL QUALITIES AND PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE ENEMY, WHICH WILL ENABLE OUR COMMANDERS TO FULLY EXPLOIT THEIR WISDOM, THEIR WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT TO MAXIMIZE THE OPERATIONAL RESULTS. IT IS ALSO CAPABLE OF DETECTING THE LAW OF OPERATIONS OF THE UNIVERSE, THE TERRAIN AND WEATHER CONDITIONS OF THE BATTLEFIELD FOR MORE ACCURATE FORECASTS. IN SHORT, YANGUANGJING CAN HELP THE COMMANDERS AND FIGHTERS AT ALL LEVELS MAKE ACCURATE JUDGEMENTS ON THE BASIS OF TIMELY INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION ON THE ENEMY. IT CAN ALSO HELP IN ARCHAEOLOGICAL RESEARCH AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION. IN THE INITIAL PERIOD OF OPERATION, IT WILL TAKE TWO PERSONS TO DO THE JOB, ONE OPERATING THE "MIRROR" THE OTHER DOING THE OBSERVATION. ONCE ENTERING THE HIGHER STAGE, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE FOR ONE PERSON TO DO THE JOB. HE WILL THEN BE IN THE POSITION TO MAKE EXTENSIVE OBSERVATIONS OF ANY SPECIALLY SELECTED OBJECT AT WILL AND WITHOUT BEING DISCOVERED BY THE ENEMY. THE ABOVE STUDY ILLUSTRATES THE MATERIAL AND SCIENTIFIC QUALITIES OF "YANGUANGJING" WHICH WILL BE OF GREAT VALUE IN MILITARY RECONNAISSANCE. THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS FOR CHINA TO EXPLOIT SUCH CAPABILITIES AND wommmommmmC Approved For Release 2000/08/11 : CIA-RDP96-00792R000300410018-1 Approved For Release 2004-RDP96-00792R000300410018-1 C of extraordinary human body function are included. Based on systems sciences, he also proposed the theory of functional states of the human body. These role theoretical viewpoints 1efundamentalVeresebeen arch playing theanhumanorbody directive sciences. We consider that, in the future study of the extraordinary functions of the human body in China, special attention should be payed to the integration of the cream of Chinese traditional culture with the principles of modern science and technology, and the integration of qigong and Chinese traditional medical bring theory with research work on the function. This s approach will l bring the orbit of modern science and technology. 3. Conclusion Research on the extraordinary function of the human body are of great importance, both theoretically _and-practically. We firmly believe that there is nothing that cannot be understood in the world; there are only things that have not yet been understood. We are full of confidence as to the prospect of the study of the extraordinary function of the human body in China. REFERENCES 1.

Targets must be sealed using tamper-proof methods--"irreversible" is the Chinese term. 3. There must be continuous, on-site, multi-angle observation by experimenters or by video tape. These requirements have led researchers to believe that their reported results are real, and that the effect is PK acting on the target. When the use of modem instruments becomes unavoidable, it is believed that the experimental protocol must be arranged so that the subject is away from the instruments and without knowledge of when or how the surveillance and analysis of targets is performed. 4. Psi as a personally developable skill It is assumed as a matter of course in P.R.C. that psychic ability, as well as other benefits, can be developed through the practice of qigong. In the West, by contrast, the serious literature largely ignores training and stresses conditions at the time of the experiment. 5. Areas not studied -- Although investigations of apparitions, poltergeists, hauntings, and survival of death (including mediumship, channeling, and reincarnation) are not formally banned in P.R.C., these topics are often considered to be sensitive, and thus are not reported as being formally studied because of concern about their ideological inappropriateness under the compelling guidelines of Marxist materialism. Moreover, researchers are comparatively ignorant concerning these psychic research topics. Some experimenters briefly investigated such areas earlier, but soon became targets for attack by Mr. Yu Guangyuan and others. It seems that no one has mentioned these topics openly since then.

Later, these statements may be quoted or paraphrased in an unrestricted journal and, in this way, become available for quotation in writings intended for foreign publication. In China, papers abstracted in another journal keep their original titles unless otherwise indicated. In the present list, references are in Chinese unless notated "(In English)". The reader will notice the absence of Chinese research papers in foreign journals. Such papers would require official approval before submission, and, for the present, such approval is not likely to be forthcoming.
