NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has declared that by being “unwilling to condemn Russia’s aggression,” China has issued a challenge to the Cold War-era alliance. Beijing has remained neutral on the conflict in Ukraine, but has accused NATO of fomenting the crisis by expanding into Eastern Europe.
“We have seen that China is unwilling to condemn Russia’s aggression, and Beijing has joined Moscow in questioning the right of nations to choose their own path,” Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels on Thursday, following a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, along with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba and officials from Australia, Japan, New Zealand, and South Korea.
“This is a serious challenge to us all,” Stoltenberg added. “It makes it even more important that we stand together.”... RT
The white terrorist organisation, Nato, after pushing Russia into a war with Ukraine, is now blaming China for it and that China must condemn and fight the Russians and be on their side. China cannot be a neutral party. China must join them in their fight against Russia or be treated as irresponsible and an enemy of the white terrorists. What has their war got to do with China?
What kind of distorted logic, if it is logic at all, did these white savages think they are talking about? Did the white terrorists allow EU countries and their stooges and lackeys the right to choose not to take sides, or neutral countries the right to remain neutral? As far as China and the rest of the world are concerned, the white terrorists can go and terrorise the Russians, set up bioweapon labs in Ukraine next to Russian border, or put strategic weapons, even nuclear weapons aimed at Russia, but what have these got to do with China or the rest of the world?
Instead, China and the rest of the world should not remain neutral but come to the aid of the Russians to stop the white terrorists from their aggression and irresponsible acts of war against Russia. That should be the only responsible thing for China and the rest of the world to do. Now Russia has enough proof that the 36 bioweapon labs of the Americans have been manufacturing viruses, including the Covid19 virus and planned to use them against the world. This is how evil these white terrorists are.
China and the rest of the world have had enough of the aggression, invasion and occupation of their countries, looting and plundering and massacres by these white savages during the colonial days. It is only right and proper for the China and the rest of the world to rise up and fight with the Russians to destroy the white terrorists from invading more countries and killing more innocent people around the world. That is the only responsible thing to do. To do otherwise, to help the white terrorists to attack Russia is the most ludicrous and irresponsible thing to do. It would be insanity or simply stupidity or irresponsibility!
The rest of the world must unite to end the reign of terror of the white terrorists. Only then could there be world peace. No more bullying and be held hostage by the white terrorists, to be attacked and invaded at their whims and fancy.
China
ReplyDeletehas every freedom and right to choose its' friend and enemy. In fact, everyone does, unless one chooses to be
controlled by mafia and other gangs as underling and or stooge.
Anyway,
China has been weak and bullied many a times. Now under the Leadership of a most enlighten Chairman Xi Jin Ping, China is in good hands.
The PRC shall rise to be a great nation that others can emulate.
Perception that US is on the wane as the East rises likely to be proven wrong: PM Lee
ReplyDeleteThere is a strong perception in some parts of the world, including China, that the East is rising and the West declining, and that the United States no longer has a bright future as the world is changing too fast for its system - a democracy with checks and balances.
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong does not believe this at all, he said in a recent dialogue with the editorial board of The Wall Street Journal.
While the US is preoccupied with many problems for which it does not see a ready solution, to conclude that America is a country with no future is a "very, very rash assumption to make", he said.
"It is a bet which if proven wrong - which is very likely - is going to cost; cost in overly ambitious plans, cost in overly complacent assumptions, cost in being aggressive in ways which are going to cause a problem, not just to the US but with the rest of the world."
Even if the US is no longer the hyperpower, he added, it will still be close to the biggest economy and one of the most advanced, vibrant and dynamic economies and societies in the world, able to attract talent, generate new ideas and reinvent itself.
But he noted that this was not a universal view.
And there is not much the US can do about that perception by arguing about it.
"You can only solve that problem by progressively being seen to overcome your problems. And to be looking outwards and to be playing the part which so many countries in the Asia-Pacific would like you to play," he added.
The transcript of the dialogue on April 1, during PM Lee's visit to Washington and New York, was released by the Prime Minister's Office on Sunday (April 10).
For a long time, PM Lee said, the US had held itself out as a beacon for the world and saw that it was in its own interest to be open and to carry the obligations of being a policeman in the region.
And the stability of the region turned out to be a boon, with many US multinational corporations and citizens benefiting from being in the region and many from the region developing links and a fondness for the US, he added.
But over time, as the balance shifted with the rise of China and the development of South Korea and South-east Asian countries, a counter-narrative developed in the US questioning why it should still bear the burden of security when its share of the gains is now smaller than it used to be, he said.
While the current US administration under President Joe Biden takes a broader approach, the strategic and economic balance has shifted, and adjustments do need to be made in terms of what the other countries in the region will do, PM Lee added.
ReplyDeleteHe also said that he felt the bipartisan mood on the US-China relationship was "not helpful".
While the Biden administration handles foreign policy differently from its predecessor, it has not shifted much in terms of US-China relations, noted PM Lee.
"Whether it is Democrats or Republicans, whether it is on the Hill, in the think-tanks or even in the media, a very deep sense has settled in that this is a challenger that is different. And if I do not challenge him now, when do I challenge him?" he said, responding to a question on US credibility.
"You do have credibility on that count, but I would have much preferred credibility in being able to make a commitment that even if we cannot co-habit, to at least coexist in this world. It is a coexistence for a very long time, and we do have to work together to make sure that we do not end up causing harm to one another continually."
He noted that already, there is very little trust on both sides, and it will not be easy to find the right level empowered to engage so that both powers can reach rapprochement to reduce tensions, build up trust, and work towards accommodations that are necessary for coexistence.
"In a situation where 80 per cent of the relationship is adversarial or conflictual, you cannot really segregate the remaining 20 per cent and say 'Here, I would like to win-win, cooperate on pandemics and climate change", or for that matter, trade'," added PM Lee.
Meanwhile, China treats the Pacific like a near abroad in some ways, and has intense engagements with countries in the region, he noted.
Pointing to President Xi Jinping's remarks several years ago about the Pacific being big enough for both the US and China, PM Lee said the question is whether the region is big enough for countries to be friends with both the US and China, or whether it is big enough to be split down the middle.
On this count, he noted, China has said it is quite happy for countries to be friends with both, and that it does not approve of closed, exclusive groupings.
At the same time, it has also said that regional affairs should be resolved by regional countries, even though "there are some regional issues in which countries which are not within the region have a legitimate interest", he added, citing freedom of navigation as an example.
Asked what China's intentions might be, PM Lee said he could not read President Xi's mind, but believes that the Chinese leader feels a sense of mission.
Quoting a phrase the Chinese leader had used in previous speeches about China's goals to "stand up, get rich, and get strong", PM Lee said it has already achieved the first two, and President Xi will want to accomplish the last part of the formulation.
He noted that China has just marked the 100th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, and declared an end to extreme poverty.
ReplyDeleteFor the next centenary in 2049, when China will mark 100 years as the People's Republic, "they aspire to be a modern, great nation", he added.
America's challenge, he said, is to manage its relationship with China, so that China gets there in a way that is constructive and not destabilising to the global system.
In fact, China, too, wants friends and influence, added PM Lee.
He noted that China had commissioned a study some 20 years ago of how great powers rose and fell over time, and had come to the conclusion that all the powers that rose by might of arms eventually ran into trouble.
"So, if you ask what China would like, I think they would like friends and they would like to make friends and influence people. And they have the resources and the focus, and they do so in many ways," he said.
He also said that countries in the region have a broad relationship with China and want to take advantage of the business opportunities it brings, but at the same time, they also want to retain "freedom of manoeuvre and agency in a multi-polar world".
PM Lee was also asked about Singapore's Foreign Interference (Countermeasures) Act, passed last year, and what countries Singapore perceived as being a threat.
He said Singapore, with its multiracial, English-speaking population and connectivity via the Internet, is very exposed to the world.
"We look very apprehensively at influence operations which have been done on the US, at other countries which have experienced similar problems, sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant, often pervasive, and we ask what reason we have to believe that it will not happen to us. Just look around the world," he added.
"There are any number of reasons why somebody might want to influence our attitudes and political opinions - either to push us in a certain direction or to cause differences in views amongst our population. It has happened repeatedly in our modern history."

What's The Deal With Ben Hodges?:
'The US supports admirers of SS Division Galizien (Calicina) and, in general, de facto Nazi regime in Kiev which is mired in war crimes and crimes against humanity.
We all are into the new territory, where the REAL face of the West and the US has been exposed. Sadly, most of the public in the West will not know what is happening. They are kept oblivious by Western media and by the realities of every day survival in the midst of a massive economic calamity which unfolds before all of us.'
'People are not only being tied up to street furniture as suspected looters, but people are being bound up or arrested for being pro-Russian, for not being able to say the word “Palyanytsya” in Ukrainian. Not every ethnic Russian speaker in Ukraine can speak good Ukrainian, and some have trouble pronouncing certain words in Ukrainian. People have been reportedly killed for not pronouncing the shibboleth word correctly and thus assumed to be part of subversive Russian reconnaissance groups.
The so called” international community” has expressed no interest or desire to take a closer look at this disturbing situation in Ukraine. Once again, the moral high ground as avidly promoted by thousands of NGOs’, think tanks and a multitude of reports, dissipates rapidly in reality into a dark void. The silence is deafening and all of them mute on the repression that is taking place in Ukraine, likely start the process of EU accession in June. Obviously, a highly repressive with systematic serious human rights abuses committed against civilians, by members of the military and police are not an impediment to being part of the European and NATO family.
Once upon a time, there would have been prisoners of conscience that Amnesty International would have supported and denounced human right abuses, now it is a case of total amnesia, right across the board, a deadly silence reigns over the widespread instances of human right abuses and atrocities, unless it is finger pointing at Russia.'

Is Stoltenberg on drugs? Countries should be given Freedom of choice he barks like his master. What about allowing Laos and Cambodia to have close ties with China instead of discreetly trying to punish them? What about the threats levelled against India for wanting to import more oil from Russia? Why are they fermenting unrest in some countries in ASEAN and Pakistan, by funding opposition politicians and using their funded NGOs to do the dirty work? The West does not do what they insist others should do. That is why the world does not believe or follow their hypocritical behavior any more.
ReplyDeleteAnd why must China follow what they want China to do? China is unlike countries with no backbones to even say no. Like Stoltenberg himself and other European leaders, all led by the nose. I think if the USA tells them to jump, they will jump - over the cliff.
Stand together he says. When the West wants China to be used for a purpose they say China must stand together with them. Why don't the West stand together with China to solve the Taiwan issue instead of pouring oil over fire and encouraging Taiwan, selling them arms, provoking China with warships sailing close to China?
ReplyDeleteIs this the behavior of countries really interested in standing together with China? Hypocrites are hypocrites. They never realised they have been exposed silly with every kind of hubris that comes out of their dirty mouths.
The American freedom of choice lie is that countries have freedom of choice only to choose the American system or become a colony or stooge of the American Empire.
ReplyDeleteThe warmongering white savages are fighting a war with Russia and demanded that China also go against Russia, if not they would attack China.
ReplyDeleteBiggest joke, China approves mRNA vaccines on clinical trial after badmouthing it earlier
ReplyDeletehttps://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/biggest-joke-china-approves-mrna-vaccines-on-clinical-trial-after-badmouthing-it-earlier.6729850
The joke is on the jokers that stupidly jabbed themselves with mRNA vaccines that did not work but pretending that it did. They still cannot see the millions and millions of infected cases in the US, UK and all countries using mRNA vaccines and claiming that they worked. And going for more boosters some more.
ReplyDeleteChina is approving mRNA vaccines, manufacturing them and selling them to the stupid who are willing to buy them. It is simply profit from the suckers.
The Chinese, in the process of manufacturing them would learn what the mRNA vaccines are all about. Know your enemy, know yourself.
After China helps the USA to fight Russia, China will be the next target the USA will turn to.
ReplyDeleteNo way China is going to do that. Having existed for more than five thousand years, Chinese leaders are more knowledgeable to know who can be trusted with their long experience.
The way the White gang and Japan tried to tear up China during the Opium War has not been forgotten. That alone should tell China never to trust the Anglo Saxon Whites and the Japs.
