WASHINGTON: The head of the powerful US House of Representatives Ways
and Means Committee on Friday (Dec 11) slammed what he called President
Donald Trump's "unsophisticated response" to China's ambitions and
called for a major recalibration of US policies.
Chairman Richard
Neal, a Democrat, urged the future administration of fellow-Democrat Joe
Biden to formulate a package of programs and investment to
counterbalance China, including through re-energized cooperation with
European allies.
Instead of pausing trade talks to focus first on domestic issues, as
Biden has said he plans to do, Neal urged the new administration to
embrace European overtures to hammer out a new broad trade deal with
Europe....
"A new US-European trade arrangement will only enhance our ability to
moderate China’s intensifying pursuit of growth and prosperity, which
threatens to subject the rest of the world to its economic and political
dominance," he said. Reuters
For more than 500 years since the day the Europeans invaded and raided the rest of the world, colonised and turned countries and people into the slaves, which they called in kinder term, subjects of their empires, that was the world order. A white men's world order, a balance of power in favour of the white men at the expense of the coloured people of the world.
In the last 100 years, this role was continued by the Americans as the dominant and preeminent number one Empire of the day. What it means is that they are the rich and powerful, they controlled everything in the world, who can be rich and who cannot be rich, who can be part of their world system, who cannot. They decide the fate of every country and its people. Victims of the Americans would be ostracised and isolated from their world system and remained poor, and looked incompetent and unable to manage their countries, their economies and their well being, when the cause is actually the American Empire. Cuba, North Korea, Myanmar and many Latin American and African countries fall into this category.
The Americans could do anything they want, above the law, respecting the law or disregarding the law. The Americans are above the law, lawless, they are not bound by any international law. Any law that is against the evil ways of the Americans would be ignored or torn apart, disrespected and disregarded. They attacked countries at will, invaded countries, conducted regime change, wars, sanctions and bully and oppressed any country they so desired, in the name of the American Empire, in the name of American Exceptionalism, ie above the law and fake democratic values and fake human rights.
Today, China has risen and wanted to grow and prosper and allow its people to live better. This is not acceptable to the Americans. This is called ambitious and a threat to the American way of life and the American Empire and dominance. China is not conducting a war of invasion against the Americans, but wanted its people to live well, to live with respect and dignity. This cannot be allowed. This is aggression, ambitious and must be put down, even by wars if threats and containment do not work.
China's rise and the prosperity of the Chinese people is called a threat to the American way of life and their security, without having to go to war with the Americans. China and its people, must be like the rest of the world, be poorer than the Americans and controlled and dictated and bullied by the Americans as the general order of things. Only the Americans can call the shot, be the top dog of the world. No one else can. Not even the Europeans. This is the American world order and cannot be challenged or changed.
The Biden Administration would be worse than the mad Trump Administration. They want the Europeans to gang up with them to control and cripple China and to rule the world again. China would have to face a bigger threat. China's only hope is for the support of the rest of the world, to help the rest of the world to rise and prosper quickly, to be free from the control and clutches of the Americans and the Europeans, by providing cheaper services and goods to the rest of the world. The world could and would be divided by the Americans and the Europeans on one side against the rest of the world on the other side. When this takes place, they can trade among themselves as the rest of the world would not be able to pay for their goods and services. And China would provide the alternative, the other options of equally good and affordable goods and services.
This would be the next contest for influence and control for the rest of the world and a new world order. With China's rise, the rest of the world can also rise without being labelled as a threat or enemy of the West and the American Empire, to be isolated, attacked and oppressed, and sanctioned into isolation and poverty, a world order of white men supremacy. There will be a new world order where every country is free to find its own path to growth and prosperity without being attacked and contained by the evil American Empire.
The biggest economy will be China. The biggest consumer market will be in China. The biggest consumers will be the Chinese middle class. China will be the base for future new technologies. Go figure who will win this contest. And the new rich will be from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Will there still be a place for the rogue and gangster behaviour of the West and America? With the developments in Ukraine, with the Americans wanted to do the Europeans in, dumped them and buried, the Europeans have been woken by a rude shock. It is all about American first, American prosperity, the Europeans can be sacrificed as gun fodder, to fight the Russians and die for the prosperity and dominance of the American Empire. What are the Europeans thinking, what are they going to do, to be free countries, not colonies of the American Empire, to be kicked around. When would Nord Stream 2 be scuttled by the Americans?
And Trump is coming back if senile Biden could not finish the job.
