China is no longer tolerating, since the start of the
trade war. China did rightly retaliate despite warning from the gangster
Trump.
China did the unthinkable in Anchorage, Alaska too. The
USA attempt to project a position of strength by trying to talk down to
China was given a rude awakening by Yang Jiechi, China's foreign policy
official. Blinken was visibly stunned.
To say that China never
retaliates is not so correct. In technology sanctions, tariffs and trade
restrictions by the USA, China is doing a tit for tat for every attempt
to stifle China, whether from the USA or the EU. China is not just
doing constructive retaliation but is building up its resilience to be
self-reliant in sensitive areas by focusing on sectors that it can
leverage on, like its control of rare earth, manufacturing capacity,
innovation and its well-oiled work force. These are areas that the USA
and the West will find difficulty to wrestle away from China's control.
There
are comments on social media that China's rise today comes on the back
of well thought out strategies and not a single bullet was fired to
attain what it achieved today. The Anglo-Saxon's rise in the past were
all achieved using force, bloodshed including genocide, which is its
modus operandi even today.
This then, is what they mean by China's soft power at play. Soft, but well prepared for hard knocks if it comes.

If China is not fighting back, it will now be like Germany or Japan, totally a colony of the USA. China is too big to be squeezed into the shoes of Iraq or Libya. The Anglo-Saxon Whites tried that during the last century. They failed to put China down, by ganging up, with gunboats, drugging, breaking up China into concessions and ill-treating the Chinese in their own country. Five thousand years of history and fighting against all odds gave the Chinese the backbone to fight back. And they did with Mao Tse Tung chasing the barbarians out. The rest is history in the making of China's century.
ReplyDeleteThe best that the Anglo-Saxon Whites can do today is decoupling or de-risking, nothing more. Even that is a mountain to climb. The trade war already shows it is not easy to put China down. China's manufacturing capacity cannot be stopped, and China's big market cannot be done away with.
The Chips War is just another failure that the USA and its cronies are finding out. It is just foolhardy to bet against China. It will be easier to flow with the tide, rather than swim against it.
