The answer is obvious. China's socialist system is
better in reality, but the Western democratic system is also working
great in theory and good for propagandizing only. That they no longer
tout the narrative that 'democracy will always triumph over socialism'
mantra is all clearly laid bare for all to see and is now proven to be a
false prophecy.
If China's socialist system is working badly,
there is no need for the USA and the West to resort to desperate
measures to prevent China from getting better. When China was dirt poor
and struggling in the fifties and sixties, the USA left China alone to
fester under socialism, perhaps waiting for China to collapse.
If
the Chinese system is working badly today as well, why not just let it
destroy itself, like in the fifties and sixties, right? Why is the USA
and the West trying to do China in so openly and glaringly today in the
eyes of the world? It only means one thing and that is the fear of
socialism outperforming democracy going forward. Nothing more nothing
less. Biden is even terrified of China overtaking the USA in GDP under
his watch. That tells the whole story.
Do we honestly believe
that Trump taking over will lead USA to do better with more sanctions
and trade wars? And he can stop China's rise with his rhetorical slogan
of 'Make American Even Greater Again'? Has the trade war he started many
years ago killed China? Even Biden escalating on it today is not going
to be successful. Rather it is making China even more determined and
becoming more self-reliant on everything. The Chinese have lived through
isolation for a century and is not going to collapse tomorrow just
listening to the fear trumpeting of the USA.

Whether socialism is better or not has been laid bare for all to see. Unlike in the past without internet and social media, where information is tightly controlled with only the MSM monopolizing information, it is a different world today with foreigners visiting China and posting videos on Youtube showing the world the reality as against the propaganda trotted out by the USA and the West. The reality cannot remain hidden forever.
ReplyDeleteChina does not need to counter the USA and Western propaganda machine officially and just let social media do the puncturing of the fakery. Just opening up China to foreign visitors to let them see the real China is a masterstroke by China. If China were to counter officially, it will be brushed aside as propaganda pieces. The impact is less credible.
Likewise, Russia is not talking about the collapse of the EU or even Ukraine. It is the USA and the West propagating the collapse of Russia years ago and fabricating Putin's health issues. Russia just needs to grow faster and stronger than the EU to put the truth on the table. The world can judge the result.
Trying to ban TikTok is an indication of what they tried to do to stifle information, but it will fail. The truth is hurting some people. TikTok reveals warts and all the failings of the USA and the genocides in Gaza that the USA and the Israelis are trying to contain.
The USA can try sanitizing information to suit their agenda on Youtube as most people have found out, but not on TikTok which is beyond their control short of banning it altogether. It is a battle between mainstream propaganda and side stream reality. The fact that they have to try to ban TikTok indicates who is winning the information war.
