China's soft power and economic development versus American/West brute force and war


What China is doing in Africa, Latin America and Middle East is far from being deemed inactive. China is procuring access to ports for trade development, resources for industries, forging relationships and of course expanding the BRI. China's relations with Africa goes back a long way, all now richly rewarded by the Africans, which the Whites are attempting to break up, and have failed to do so thus far. Which approach will withstand the scrutiny of those being colonised over time? I believe we are beginning to find out the answer.
What the USA and collective West had been using, and are still using, is a totally different approach, using 'hard power' tactics, whose outcome is becoming apparently clear in Africa. Initial success using 'hard power' will garner temporary results, but as countries being victimied look back, they are not as forgiving as we think. The Jews may have forgiven the Germans, or so we think, but Asians still have not forgotten the Japanese militaristic aggression and sufferings during WW2.

China is using the 'soft power' approach, avoiding any head on collisions, but not out of great fear of the USA or the West. And now, with the support of Russia, China should just have retaliated by fighting fire with fire. That is not how 'soft power' should develop after so long, and getting destroyed on the spur of the moment.

Even without resorting to use of force as a deterrent and counter by China, the USA and the West are already hyping up the role of China as a bully, a military threat, growing assertiveness and so on. Strangely, Communism per se is not being hype up as a downtrodden ideology anymore, having clearly stand up well economically against the over-rated democratic system. Russia is moving in the same direction as China, economically.

China is not giving more ammunition to be capitalised on by the USA and the West to propagate to the world the hype up fabricated role of China's military expansion and its intention. As a big nation, does not China have the right to build up its military to protect its interest?

What else more drastic would they think of if China were to adopt a more 'hard power' approach to problems resorting to head on collisions. And what would countries think about that when most are already sick and tired of the USA using its military to coerce smaller countries to pay obeisance and follow its dictates? That same approach, if adopted, would destroy the perception of China's 'soft power' approach to problems.

China will fight its own wars when it is time to do so at its own discretion, and not fall for provocations.

The fact that China will fight its own wars when it is time to do so, and at its own descretion is no idle boast.

The Korean War is testimony to the resolve of China when its national interest is threatened. The fall of North Korea was China's 'Red Line' not to be crossed by the South, with the USA lurking behind it, waiting to capitalise. China fully supported North Korea militarily, knowing that the fall of North Korea means a big threat posed towards China's northern border region.

The Vietnam War was also an indication of China's decision to fight that war by supporting the North Vietnamese. The fall of North Vietnam to the South Vietnamese and thus falling under the USA controlled South Vietnamese Government was another 'Red Line' that China did not want to see. That would have given the USA a free hand to capitalise on China's Southern border with North Vietnam.

The USA is now stirring up the unrest in Myanmar, as its wide border with China, still unexploited resources and drug producing Northern region, are very tantalising area to control for the USA. It is therefore of paramount importance for China that Myanmar must be supported and kept within the Myanmar Military's control. China supports that and the USA and the West are hyping up and demonising China's support of the Military Government against those trying to change the status quo. They are using the good vs bad argument to demonise the Military Rulers, which they have done so for decades using Aung Saan Suu Kyi as the rallying point. The Myanmar Military rulers must have seen through the ploy.

The CIA and USA/Western backed NGO's are now very active in formenting chaos in Thailand as election is looming, besides stirring unrest in Cambodia and Laos too. These are countries being eyed for regime changes to fit the USA agenda of encircling China, and are countries deemed too friendly to China.

Discreetly being talked about, Malaysia is also on the radar of the USA. But as a majority Muslim country like Indonesia, such an agenda is not easy to impose. Moreover, Muslims in the Middle East have already been subjected to various 'colour revolution' in the past and Malaysian Muslims are well aware of the evil Whites agenda.

Interestinly, Emil Cosman talks about a Chinese report listing all the 'colour revolutions' that the USA staged all over the world. In total about 50 over the last couple of decades.

The problem with India is there is little that India can produce to export to Russia to make the Rupee deal meaningful. In the case of China, Chinese exports are in demand over a wide spectrum in Russia, and accumulating Yuan for Russia is tactically meaningful for Russia.

If Russia does not accept payments in Rupee, India is in trouble with no more cheap discounted Russian crude. Russia will also be affected, but could still sell oil more to China and the Middle East. Yes Middle East, ironically. What they Saudis do now is to import cheap highly discounted Russian crude for their own domestic consumption, while exporting their own crude to the West at huge profits. Nothing against the price cap, and nothing wrong with business ethics either. A tantalising arrangment that other Middle East oil producers will follow suit. There is a huge profit margin to be made with this arrangement.

Arabs, like Africans, are not as dumb as the Whites think they are.

The Indians are wishfully thinking that with de-dollarization going on, they can unlimitedly print fiat rupee, like the USA printing fiat dollars, and use their fiat rupees to exchange for goods from other countries.

Pakistan switching to yuan to buy Russian oil

Pakistan is likely to pay for shipments of crude oil from Russia in Chinese yuan, local media reported on Saturday, citing government sources. The first cargo of 750,000 barrels is expected to dock as soon as in June.

An unnamed official from the Ministry of Energy told The News International that the transaction would be facilitated by the Bank of China.

Other sources told the media that Pakistan has agreed a per-barrel price of around $50-52, compared to the G7 price cap on Russian oil of $60 per barrel.

Every day, more and more countries are bypassing the US$ in trade. If that is not an indication that de-dollarisation is picking up steam, then let it be just an 'overblown' issue that detractors like to imagine. The USA and the West can brush that aside and still continue to vouch for its support, using the claim that 60% of reserves are still held in the US$ and that it is still the dominant currency used in global trade.

When a tsunami hits, all that statistic is going to turn to dust. Remember that tsunami that hit Japan in 2011? Everything turned into rubble in areas hit by the tsunami. Before that everything was standing tall and proud. You do not know what hits you until the tsunami comes along. Of course Japan can rebuild after that. And that tsunami is coming for the US$. Can the reputation of the US$ then be rebuild? I doubt it, as the whole world is already trying to get rid of the curse that comes with it. They will shout 'good riddance' instead.

The Americans still go around the world to start wars and to kill and eo dominate. Without them knowing, the unseen hand has fixed them up to be destroyed by their own doing, without the need for war, without the need for the destruction of other countries and people.

The Americans were subtlely made to start this dedollarisation trend. Yes, the Americans were made to make the first move for their own destruct. No one forced them to destroy the trust and confidence in the dollar. No one, but HIM. And the Americans have no choice but to go along.

This dedollarisation will bring down the evil Empire without the need to fire a shot or to kill someone. This divine plan is so ingenious and so effective and unstoppable.

When HE decides enough is enough, that evil must be destroyed, it is so easy, and so fast.

The evil American Empire would be no more, very soon.

Hello want to do businesses long term follow the PRCs lah.

They don't take advantage of the Russians by squeezing their balls in price deductions just to make profits selling back to the stupid Euro Nuts.

Chinese mentalities are win win not to take too much advantage of others miseries.

For one day you may also need their help back.

Now Putin knew who are the Best friends and suspended trade with the Indians.

Chinese philosophy take and give goodwill.

They keep throwing money into the dark and bottomless pit. Who were the people making the recommendation and who were the people approving it?

Is this a case of stupidity has no cure or something else?
