What it means to be friends of China or USA

China is directly appealing to the interests of Pacific Island countries with a view to advancing their economic status, providing infrastructure and export markets. The US, Australia, and co. are not. In fact, their only purpose in seeking to re-engage these countries is solely to counter China and advance their ideological goals, as illustrated by VP Harris brandishing the words ‘bad actors’ – but there is little evidence that the Pacific Island countries see China as one. Beijing pledges to respect their national sovereignty, which is why the security deal with the Solomon Islands was, much to the chagrin of Washington and Canberra, a popular arrangement which the Solomons see as an opportunity to wean themselves off their own longstanding dependency on Australia and the Commonwealth. China is not, contrary to how the media portrays it, ‘forcing itself’ on the Pacific, but is being welcomed, yet quite clearly the other side is attempting to force the island nations to choose, and then wondering why their diplomatic overtures are being ignored.  RT

The above is from an article in RT titled 'The US wants to use China's neighbors against it – will the plan succeed?' By now every country in the world would have no illusion about what relations with China or the US mean. The above statement explains it simply about the intent and purpose of China and the US.

Relations with China is all about economic development, about infrastructure building for the good of the respective countries and their people. When China comes knocking at the door, it is like a salesman offering his goods and services to the consumers and the consumers could freely decide what they want and what is best for them. There is no political or military pressure to be friends or enemies of anyone. It is a simple cordial relationship for the benefits of both China and the respective countries. 

On the other hand, when the Americans come a calling, it is about taking sides, to be enemies of China or Russia. It is about political and military coercion, be with us or against us. Join our gangs of international mafia to isolate and confront China, be enemies of China. Countries would be forced to make a choice to take sides or be sanctioned and treated as enemies. And after taking sides, they would be offered military weapons in the name of their defence against China, now called their enemy and a threat to them if they blindly believe the American hostile narrative.

The Americans are only interested in confrontation, military, economic and political confrontation, and in selling arms and weapons, not about trade, not about economic development, not about building infrastructures for the countries.

The choice is clear to every country. What do they want? War, confrontation and wasting money quarrelling and living under threats, imaginary threats from China and real threat from the Americans, or seeking to cooperate with China in trade, in economic development, in the rebuilding of their countries for the benefits of their people? No need to buy arms against any imaginary or fabricated threats. No need to take sides, can be free to be friends with every country in the world.

Which is evil, which is the trouble maker, the warmonger, are all out there for the world to see. All the fabricated threats, propaganda, lies are so wild, callous and unimaginative that no one can be deceived or conned to believe in them. This is the 21st Century and the rest of the world is enlightened and well informed. They know what is going on and what is real or fake, what is good for them and what is bad for them.

The rest of the world have been forced to take sides by the Americans and the West, and many have chosen for the good of their countries and people, to live freely, to develop and live better in peace, not in wars and constant fear of threats and instability.

PS. Mr Widodo or Jokowi, as the president is popularly known, has expressed the hope that the visit would strengthen the bilateral ties and cooperation between the two countries.

“China is Indonesia's comprehensive strategic partner. We must fill this partnership with cooperation that is beneficial for our country, and at the same time for the region and the world," said Jokowi.

  1. Whatever the USA is doing to countries to take their side, it has only one paramount purpose, and that is to counter China. Nothing more, nothing less.

    When their top leaders visited those countries around Asia, each and every one of them spouts the same thing and their main talk was always about China threat and coaxing countries to take their side to counter China. Of course, in between, to sweeten their deal, they promised some chicken wings and fries, hoping to bribe them to do their bidding.

    This is their favourite modus operandi. Expecting more, like the G7 US$600 billion infrastructure bill to counter the BRI is just a castle being built in the air, with countries needing to fork out billions themselves. They might as well do the infrastructure inside their own country themselves if they have that kind of money.

    Oh yes, they gave US$150 million to be shared among ASEAN countries to tow their line. That is chicken wings and an insult to ASEAN compared with the billions being poured into Ukraine to support the regime over there.

    What do the USA take ASEAN counttries as? Just collateral damage material and cannon fodder at best when it comes to conflict with China. And they are using underhand tactics to subvert ASEAN countries knowing that their coaxing bears little fruit. That is when the CIA and NGOs will do their dirty work, like in Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia.

  3. Among ASEAN countries, Matland will be the sick man of ASEAN in time to come. Mahathir admitted himself that Matland is a very corrupt country and that is why it is not doing as well as it's neighbours. Imagine being spouted by non other than Mahathir himself is really ironic.

    Not just Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia are all doing comparatively better economically than Matland. Laos and Cambodia are starting to attract investments and will be another Vietnam, which many consider as another economic dragon. Their political systems mirrored that of China and Vietnam, so think about what they can achieve in time to come.

  4. Mr Widodo or Jokowi is a wise man. He knows who will provide benefits to his country and the world. He also knows who are the ones who only come to instigate and to sell arms.

    The only benefit that the warmongers will provide is to sell arms to you so that you can defend yourselves against China.

    When was China, in its 5,000 years history, ever colonised any country?

  5. Notice the official narrative of foreign interference always use the term "hostile" when alluding to China. Why is China "hostile", while US and India are "friendly" forces ??

    And he is the best man for the number one terrorist nation in the world. No wonder.

  7. Biden is the personification of the USA, a fumbling, bumbling weak old man at the end of his time and about to fall flat on his face.

  8. Henry Kissinger already said all there is to say about what USA is all about.

    He said that to be an enemy of the USA is dangerous, to be it's friend is fatal. As an American, saying that is telling. Just as equally telling as Pompeo admitting that the USA lies, cheat and steal.

    Even that little girl knows that the Whites would steal anything, except that they could not steal the pyramids because they were too big and heavy. Otherwise, the pyramids would no longer be in Egypt, but in some meuseums in the West. How true!
