Container vessels berth at the Port of Yangshan to clear cargo around the clock in Shanghai on January 2, 2022. In 2021, the Port of Shanghai handled over 47 million standard containers, ranking first among the world's ports for the 12th consecutive year. Photo: VCG Global Times
The above photo speaks volumes about what China is doing daily and its peaceful rise through trade and trade and trade, not wars and wars that the Americans are engaged in. The Port of Yangshan is the biggest and biggest port in the world, a position Singapore and Rotterdam used to claim.
1. Shanghai, China.2. Singapore.
3. Ningbo-Zhoushan, China.
4. Shenzhen, China.
5. Guangzhou, China.
6. Qingdao, China.
7. Busan, South Korea.
8. Hong Kong, China.
9. Tianjin, China
10. Rotterdam
China now has 7 ports ranked among the top 10 busiest ports in the world as reported in Feb 2022 by marineinsight.com. Not a single American port in the top 10. Only European port Rotterdam came in 10. Port Klang, Malaysia was in position 10 in 2020.
The Americans are trying to start wars everywhere to disrupt the growth of China's trade and business. And they mischievously accused China of being aggressive and wanting to start wars that would be detrimental to China's rise as the biggest economic power in the world. Peace is good for China, not war. Why would China want to go to war that would bring an end to its peaceful rise?
The Americans are the warmongers, everyday, everywhere, agitating and instigating for wars. They are the world's number one terrorist country, the world's number one trouble maker.

Seeking peace is the way for humanity.
However and sadly,
only
Enlightened Leaders understand
the Wisdom.
The Most Unfortunate Flaw og Nature is that the Humankind, like all other Species, is territorial and therefore to fight and claim territory is an innate trait. Hence peace is impossible in reality.
THR FITTEST SURVIVES IS THE
LAW OF THE WORLD.
STAY FIT, STRONG AND POWERFUL IS THE ONLY WAY TO SURVIVE.
PERIOD
If you want peace, a peaceful rise, be prepared for war.
With the Evil US military menacingly displaying, deploying and stressing on a daily basis their warmongering stance everywhere in the world, and especially in the South China Sea, there can be no peace.
It is only a matter of time before war comes to the doorsteps of China.
The moment China starts to claim Taiwan by force, the Evil US military will be launched, as an excuse, at the Chinese PLA. Just watch my words.
Now they are having a field day talking about the collapse of China, whose 2nd quarter GDP fell to 0.4%, the lowest ever.
Let us be honest and put in perspective why China's 2nd quarter GDP was so miserable. It was all due to China imposing lockdowns in many cities all over China. China could easily rebound by completely opening up and stop it's zero COVID19 policy. But it was more important for China to be vigilant against sabotage still prevalent in the minds of evil doers.
So, let the GDP be low, so long as safety is the motive. Unlike elsewhere, the fall in GDP is not due to lockdowns but more serious issues that are difficult to unwind. Like the energy crisis in Europe. Sure, there are oil and gas from elsewhere they can import, but at the price they are paying, would their factories be able to compete and their citizens be able to enjoy the lifestyle of the days of cheap oil and gas from Russia? Driving is now becoming a problem with expensive fuel, and heating is going to be a bigger problem when winter approaches.
If Russia cuts off oil and gas permanently to Europe, this is not going to be a temporary hindrance but it will be long term scourge, and therefore what kind of growth can the Europeans hope to achieve going forward? When the shit hits the fan, all the fake arrogance will sink down like a ton of bricks. And protest will erupt. This is already happening in UK, Holland, Canada and is only kept away from the eyes of the world by the MSM's selective journalism of focusing on Sri Lanka, Myanmar and South China Sea.
Be patient. The show is just beginning in Europe, the circus in the USA and the soap opera in the UK.
China ports will grow with better growth potentials. As it is now, China's trade via the BRI is increasing, even to Europe now also by rail when it used to be all by sea. So, Rotterdam definitely will not figure well in the rankings that is for sure.
China's trade with the RCEP grouping is the largest trade grouping in the world, almost a third of world trade volume and that does not include trade with Europe or the USA. So, looking forward, we can foresee the declining rankings of USA and European ports. More than that, Europe has now cut itself off from trade with Russia, maybe for good. So, it all adds up as to who is rising and who is sinking.
And we have not even talked about the members of the BRICS in Latin America, which are potentially important rising economies like Brazil and Argentina. Going forward, they will be dealing more with China than Europe or USA. Especially in raw materials that used to come from Australia.
Peace can only be assured if you have a formidable Armed Forces to counter all aggressive intents.
Just by talking about peace, trade and business, without beefing up the Armed Forces is a sure way to disasters.
In the context of China, a very strong First Strike Capability is a must for its Nuclear and Space Forces.
In addition, the PLA has to be modernised with state of the capabilities, together with Cyber Counterintelligence penetration into the 4 Eyes plus 1.
Many Chinese still have the Ah Q mentality. Afraid to get into trouble. When got bullied or beaten, find excuses to walk away. Bend the head, as long as no one is beating him, he is happy to live his quiet existence.
Avoid trouble, don't get into trouble.
But when trouble keeps coming at the Chinese, it is time to stand up and face trouble and give trouble to trouble. That is the only way to survive in the harsh world of bullies. Not hitting back, be meek, would also be bullied, be spitted on and be despised and discriminated, even killed.
Time to discard the Ah Q mentality and demand to be treated fairly and be equals to everyone. The Chinese cannot keep trying to hide away, stay away from trouble.
Look at China, never bully any country, never fight in any wars, never invade any country, but the whites keep on attacking China, calling China aggressive, bully, cheats, liars, thieves, everything negative when China was peacefully engaging in trade and infrastructure development with every country.
China did not spend its time attacking the Americans or the west, fabricating lies about them, inciting and provoking them or forming gangs against them and calling them enemies. These did not spare China from being treated fairly and kinder, but still being raised as the aggressive warmonger, threats to the Americans, to the West, to the world.
Being meek, being Ah Q, only brings one thing, aggression, and be bullied and beaten by anyone that wants to do it.
China must not be the bully, but must strike back when bullied.
First and foremost, it is true that having a capable counterstrike deterrent will discourage those who seek to destroy with sneak first strike. That is why the USA needs to to take down China in the near term, within the next five years, because the longer they waited, the less chances they have of winning. And China is well aware of what is on the minds of the Neo Con Hawks in the USA administration. China is not idling by waiting for the eventuality. They are experimenting with hypersonic missiles and drones successfully now, and it is not going to be just following Hiroshima and Nagasaki to be razed to the ground doing nothing in retaliation.
That is also why Iran wants a nuclear bomb. And that is why Israel and USA are dead set against that idea. But, let us not be kidding ourselves silly. Iran is fully capable of getting the bomb within six months if they go about it. Iran is technologically more advance than North Korea, and look at North Korea now. They are experimenting with intercontinental delivery systems for their missiles. The USA cannot just talk about bombing North Korea back to the stone age anymore, like taking candy from a kid. Those days are going to be over for the USA.
The main reason for the Americans to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons is to be able to hit Iran as and when they like with nuclear weapons. Once Iran has nuclear weapons, the Americans would have to think very hard to nuke Iran as even one nuclear bombs hitting US is unbearable.
Israel's reason is the same but also to prevent Iran from striking them first.
It is never about proliferation of nuclear weapons. The US has been spreading the knowhow to Israel and Japan and now going to spread to Australia.
