Shangri La Dialogue - China should not lend it credibility

BEIJING: Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun is set to skip the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore for the second year in a row, according to two sources familiar with the matter.

Instead, China will send a lower-level People’s Liberation Army (PLA) delegation to Asia’s premier defence forum which will open on Friday (May 29) and continue until Sunday, the sources said.  CNA

China's Defence Minister Dong Jun is not at this dialogue. It is likely that China will no longer lend its credibility to an event that is Anglocentric and in a way designed to glorify the Americans and the West and to take potshots at China going forward. China must have known by now that the Dialogue is of little value to China, in effect, of negative value to China when even the language of delivery for the majority of the participants is English, that put China in a big disadvantage. More pertinent is the agenda and intent of the Dialogue, with the Americans and the West setting the tone and direction that are anything but unfriendly of hostile to China. China is the dart board for participants to throw darts at.

The Shangri La Dialogue is like a piece of the American system that controls the world, set the agenda and narrative for the world, a small part of the global financial and banking system, western gangster rules based order to reinforce western dominance and hegemony. Why should China be bothered with such a set up?

China now has its equivalent of the Shangri La Dialogue, the Beijing Xiangshan Forum. 'Initiated in 2006 by the China Association for Military Science, the Xiangshan Forum is a major international security and defense platform designed to rival the Western-dominated dialogue in Singapore.' Google News.

The mission of the Xiangshan Forum is quite similar to the Shangri La Dialogue, but with themes, terminologies, nuances and focus more from the China and Global South perspective, and interests in the Asia and Pacific Region. The narratives will be towards a future of multipolar world and NOT about American hegemony and western dominance. There will be no glorification for the American terrorists and western gangsterism but for a more balance, equal and just world for all nations based on international laws and international institutions, not American gangster rules based order.

The two events will be a part of the international features and will flourish with the rise of China and the fall of the American Empire. One is the baby of a rising superpower that shares and represents the Global South countries, and another supposedly the baby of Singapore, peddling to the interests of the evil American Empire.

“For China, it must decide for itself whether the Shangri-La Dialogue adds value. There is no coercion for you to attend.

“Is it better? To come to an open platform, to subject yourself sometimes to a tyranny of questions and to what might seem a common view from others to explain yourself? Or to retreat from that engagement? That is something that China must decide for itself.”

There are wide-spread views that the Shangri-la Dialogue, as a forum, is dominated by the United States and its allies, serving the interest of the United States and its allies.

Ask the pigs, where is the best place to be in. The pigs will say, the pigsty. The pigs are very use to the smell and environment in the pigsty and think it is the best place to be in after years inside a pigsty.

It is not just widespread views that the dialogue is to give a platform to the USA to control the agenda. It is the agenda to allow the USA to create more fear and unease in the minds of those 'dull of mind' who attended, brainwashing them to buy into the fear of China. The Chinese know that attending it is of no value. It is just a 'sham' dialogue.

I could not help going over what Pete Hegseth, the drunkard, just said that allies of the USA must spend to take care of their own security. For once I do agree with his slip of the tongue-in-cheek honest revelation.

The Gulf countries had been spending their defense budget leveraging on the USA to defend them, from I do not know who, probably Israel, before the war against Iran, but all that spending has gone into a black hole without the benefits to show. So, I would also say that the Gulf countries must rightly take care of their own defense matters, rather than depend on the USA. Am I right after witnessing what happened over the last three months. I think the message that Pete Hegseth gave, in a moment of drunkard-ness, has opened a can of worms.

The Europeans are also thinking of setting up their own defense architecture instead of being held hostage by the USA, harping all the time to increase their defense spending. All that spending by Europe is just to promote and upkeep the interest of the USA in Europe. Russia is the only target and all the fearmongering fabricated by the USA in Europe is all centered on Russia, while in East Asia, the propaganda of fear is centered all on China. The Warsaw Pact countries have already been disbanded long ago, but NATO is still existing to carry on the USA war mongering show.

ASEAN must also wake up, look around, and find out whether the threat comes from China or the USA.

Out of 193 countries around the world, I would have expected more than 47 countries to attend the Shamgrila Die-lock. I think, just like China, they have already seen the woods for the trees. That tells me it is a dying platform of no consequence to them.

The USA representative will talk cock and the other attendees will sing song. It is an ongoing orgasm year by year.

The game is playing both sides to sell weapons to them to kill each other. If countries do not want to fight each other, it is not good for the USA. The USA will then be unable to convince them that the USA are in their country to protect them, so let the USA continue to have a military base in your country.

The reality is to protect them from the USA more likely. Especially when it starts creating wars and getting them into trouble like the Gulf countries.

Mad dog Hegseth treated the participants in the dialogue as little boys and girls, to be threatened, pay up or you will face the consequences. The threat is China, not American terrorists that are killing Iranians, bombing Iran, invading Ukraine and Venezuela, threatening to take Greenland and invading Cuba. China is a threat for doing none of these aggression by the mad dog and his mass murderers.
