I had to look this up. Apparently, this was in a speech by China's Defense Minister Chi Haotian, given to senior Party members "some time before his retirement in 2003". One of the links:
It seems likely to be real as long as we can trust The Epoch Times and their sources. The Epoch Times are ardently against the CCP, but that doesn't mean they're wrong, and from what I know they have every reason for their positions...
Thank you, very interesting...
Yes I think they are Falun Gong backed, which are good people and I can ignore some wacky religious beliefs in exchange, also who am I to judge that...
Nowadays a quite neutral and truthful news source, which leaves the conclusions to the reader, is very appreciated... Thanks again!

Thanks, I was looking for that link since weeks. Horrible to read.
Also found this January 2020 opinion piece in The Epoch Times which references the speech and quotes some sentences from it:
