The old saying, if you cannot protect what is yours, it is not yours. This saying is increasingly applicable to China. It cannot protect its own little islands in the South China Sea against the Pinoys. It cannot protect Taiwan and Diaoyu Islands from the Americans, Japan and traitors. It cannot protect Nexperia, it cannot protect its oil purchases, paid upfront, in Venezuela, only standing there haplessly while the Americans told over everything, including its best friend, Maduro and wife. Its rail networks were blocked by Lithuania and Poland and it can only divert somewhere else, leaving behind what it helped to built. And Australia is taking back Darwin Port lease, with no compensation.
And the latest, Panama just seized the ports owned by Hong Kong's CK Hutchinson and revoked the licence to operate both ports. Again, China can just look in despair. The Panamanian thugs just rushed into the offices, rounded up the Chinese staff like criminals and took over everything, more aggressive than the what the Dutch did in the case of Nexperia. And these are little Mickey Mouse, and they simply messed up China with arrogance, with no fear. This seems like the way to deal with China and its foreign assets. At best China just stop negotiating for new cooperation. US$4b of investment gone, just like that. Who is next to seize Chinese assets and properties?
What is China? A super power? Everyone knows the devil behind these Mickey Mouse. The devil even threatened to take over the Chinese owned Greece Port Piraeus. They gave up not because China was strong but because the Greek govt stood firm. At the rate this seizing of China's assets and properties overseas is going, soon everyone will join the game. Now in Europe and Latin America, soon it will be Africa, maybe Southeast Asia as well.
All China's assets and properties overseas don't belong to China if it is not able to protect them, afraid to protect them. It is better that China stop wasting money investing overseas and embarrassing itself and it images as a super power, or powerless. Don't waste money if you cannot protect them. India too had seized Chinese properties or imposed bizarre fines that were as good as grabbing them as Indian properties.
Maybe these investments and properties are too far away, in places that China cannot protect, like in the East China Sea and South China Sea. Oops, the latter two are in China's courtyard.
The last hope, the last saving grace for China, is to make a strong stand in Iran, to turn the table around. Losing Iran is as good as losing everything. Iran is close enough, strong enough, willing enough, and Russia is also in the game. China must use Iran to smash the devil to pieces, sink all its aircraft carriers and warships, military bases in the Middle East, chase the devil out from the region to redeem itself. If this can be done, the tide will change and China can then recover all its lost assets and properties. The Mickey Mouse will know that when China can defeat the devil.
Would China do it, or as usual, look haplessly and let Iran be run over, taken over, and its oil route be cut? Iran is China's last line of defence! Losing Iran will mean losing the Middle East, losing Africa and SE Asia.
PS. Taiwan is as good as an American colony!
