China was
the biggest victim to the rise of European and Japanese powers, being colonized
piece meal by the foreign powers and robbed of everything. Jean Pierre found it
ludicrous for the Americans and westerners to chide China to be a responsible
stakeholder as it rises to be a global power. The hypocrisy was so clear that
nothing more needs to be mentioned, especially from the irresponsible Americans
in their conduct of world domination by provoking and starting wars in all
corners of the globe.
In his
thesis, Jean Pierre concluded that there is no such thing as a peaceful rise of
a global power. He has doubt as to
China’s peaceful rise and asked whether ‘China will behave with the same
ruthless cynicism and cause as much misery and mayhem as its nine predecessors,
or whether it will break the pattern and tear asunder the great power rising
paradigm by rising peacefully.’ And he said it again, ‘It’s a tough challenge,
especially, I repeat, as there is no precedent, no guidebook one can take off
the shelf, no historical mentor one can turn to’.
You see what
you want to see. You believe what you want to believe, especially when one is
conditioned to think by decades of fabricated truth. Even before China’s rise
as a global power, it has been demonized as an evil power when in fact it was
the victim of the rise of global powers. China is still the victim of western powers
and western oppression. There is now a contradiction and an unpleasant truth
that western thinkers and politicians refused to see or acknowledge. When there
was a Chinese Empire before the invasion of western colonial powers, China’s
global GDP was 30%, befitting of a global power. It was a global power without
wrecking or savaging the world. The rise
of the dynastic Chinese empires did not lead to world wars. Dynastic China had
its own world view of things and the only wars it conducted were the usual
border wars with neighbouring tribes and countries when the borders were not
defined. And many of these wars were defensive in nature, to ward off
aggression from neighbouring tribes. In many ways, the rise of dynastic China
as a global power without global ambition was peaceful in the global context.
This may not
be sufficient to dispel the thesis of no peaceful rise of a global power. The
proof for such a phenomenon is right before our eyes but none willing to see
and accept this unpleasant truth. Is China now a global power? In many senses
it is a global power, financially, economically, militarily, unless the
definition of a global power is one that engages in wars of conquest. China is
the undisputed second largest economy in the world. Militarily it is second
only to the Americans.
Is China not
a global power today? If the answer is yes, then China has proven that it is
possible to become a global power without conducting wars and causing mayhem to
the rest of the world or to its neigbours. Today’s China is happy as a global
power without having to attack any country or indulging in conquest to acquire
territories. It reclaims islands from the seas based on historical rights. Its
only other claim is to reclaim territories ceded by conquest when it was weak.
China is
already a global power and has yet to fire a single bullet to claim its
arrival. China does not need a war to be a global power. In fact a war would
derail China’s rise and ambition as a world power. It is avoiding war to the point that little
countries could provoke and agitate and even make claims on China’s islands in
the South China Sea while Japan continues to claim Diaoyu Islands as theirs. China’s
peaceful rise may not remain so if the Americans and the Japanese are bent on
provoking a war with China. Even if so, its rise as a global power is already a
peaceful one to date, unless one is denying that China is still not a global
power. And what is this nonsense of an irresponsible stakeholder? China has
been playing everything with the rules of international laws and norms and has
not behaved aggressively like the Americans and the Japanese.
Who is or
are the irresponsible stakeholders? Definitely not China! The West cannot accept a responsible world
power like China and its peaceful rise. To them there is no such thing as a
responsible China and a peaceful China as a global power. They refused to see
this reality, that China has risen as a world power, peacefully and acting
responsibly as a global power. Their mindset is that China cannot be a world
power. If China is a world power it must be an irresponsible world power. And
it cannot rise to be a global power peacefully. So China is not a global power
yet. It can only be acknowledged as a global power after it creates havoc and
mayhem to the world.
China has
risen, peacefully, as a global power. Get it? The Americans and their allies
can keep on demonizing China. The hard truth, Americans and their allies are
the real demons instead.

Human beans like that lah!
That's why only less than 1percent will go to Heaven.
When you are poor, they scorned you.
When you are rich, they envied you.
Some got rich by unscrupulous means but are well respected.
Some rich the hard way but not appreciated.
These western barbarians sure envy "China bring Number One.
Even own kind yellow bananas after eating and sucking the western sai also scorned their own kind. Bo lean chor.
Also the mamas and papas and babas.
That's why got Jack Ma named his flagship Ali Baba.
This bloody kotek professor needs to be hit on the side of the head with a heavy wok lah.
The world in which present day China is rising is far more peaceful, and the human species is at a level of "civility" not found in previous more violent and bloody times.
The Surprising Decline Of Violence---Steven Pinker, refer also to his 2011 book "The Better Angels Of Our Nature". Pinker presents the EVIDENCE and the science to back up his claims.
The world is less violent. However there is more violence in movies and video games, sex is easier to get (by apps and websites) as is high fat high salt high sugar foods, and party drugs abound. We have more places to shop on and offline, and we have more ways to MAKE MONEY to pay for all the lovely stuff we can experience and own.
When you are too busy shopping, eating, gaming, fucking and getting high...who has time to fight?
So China can just ignore these idiots on purely SCIENTIFIC grounds, and quietly go about her business in generating wealth and buying up as much of the world as possible.
China is a global power by manufacturing and makings things the world wants and very cheap.
Chinese in their nature loves peace.
So many unthinking Asians. If the westerners were to screw their mother and tell them the Chinese did it, they would also believe.
