All the lies Pence said about China are exactly what US and its Western allies have been imposing on Third World countries for decades . US will ease itself into the favour of selected third world governments and select high profile projects which it promised to help with technical and financial aid. US economic hitman will select a project and magnify or jack up the value of the project many times unrealistically high. ( Read John Pilger's book on US Economic Hitman and learn how US cheated and bankrupted many Third World countries to enrich itself and greatly impoverished the citizens of the victimised countries other than a few well connected corrupted local officers.) Say a project is worth only one hundred million dollars. The economic hitman will convince the president and the government of the victimise country that the cost value of the project is ten billion dollars. By the way American aids and loans have stringent strings of conditions attached usually to the disavantage of the recipient countries but to the great benefit of US. A large percentage of the ten billion dollars will go into the payment of endless numbers of US consultants and technicians as fees and salaries. Another big portion will go into putting up buildings to house US technicians and officers and as payment for exaggerated high operating cost. Still a big portion will go into importing all the materials and machineries from related US companies from US for the said project. In the end most of the ten billion dollars will go back to USA though a little will find its way into the pockets of the victimise country's president and his senior officers to rub their mouth to ensure their cooperation. The end result is that US takes back most of the money while the victimise country is impoverished and its people and citizens got to bear the burden of paying the endless balloon debt forever, As a trade off US will demand grant of military bases to US as part of the debt payment. This definitely compromised the victimise country's sovereignty where US exercise extra territorial rights with the fearsome military backing behind.
Thus we see Pence like all other white men always speaks with fork tongues and cannot be trusted as when he said, "Do not accept foreign debt that could compromise your sovereignty. Protect your interest." US always psycho and arm twisted countries to accept inflated loans under the watchful eye of CIA and the military.
Pence tried to stoke trouble in the South China Sea. he said, "The US will continue to upheld the freedom of the seas and the skies which are so essential to our prosperity." Before US pivot to East Asia in 2010, there was peace and tranquility in the South China Sea. After US pivot in 2010 US incessantly stoke up trouble and tried to create tensions and animosity between
China and the South China Sea littoral states. China has not and will never stop any legitimate ship on its passage through the South China Sea. But US warships and super bombers sailing and flying close to Chinese coast and sovereign territotial islands are provocative and do not constitute normal legitimate sailing or flight over South China Sea air space.
China does not impose a "Monroe Doctrine" in the South China Sea or East China Sea to prevent others from the region. That was what US did with the" Declaration of the Monroe Doctrine" to stop and prevent other countries from the Central and South America regions for trade,other than through US strict control . "All exports and imports in the two regions must be conducted through United States. Thus US has been exercising extra territorial rights in Central and south America during the last one hundred sixty years since 1850s and compromised the sovereignty of all the countries in the region. In the meantime US has been raking in hundreds of billions of dollars in illegal and illicit collections through its monopolistic control of the trading system.
Pence said, "We will continue to fly and sail wherever international law allows and our national interest demands." US treats all international laws with derision if they do not suit her agenda. US didn't even bother to sign the United Nations International Laws of the Seas in 1986 even though the rules were initiated and formulated by US. The laws are meant for others to follow U dictates and US is not bound by it. On hindsight the UNILS are formulated by US to hamstrung China from exercising its sovereignty over her territorial islands in the South China Sea and to create trouble and disputes between China and the neighbouring countries bordering the South China Sea.
What is Pence intention in declaring, "US will upgrade its naval base on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island." Why must US have a military base in Papua New Guinea other than for intimidation and aggression. The US military base in Papua New Guinea poses a threat to Indonesia, the Philippines and other Asian countries.
Pence claims US promotes a civil society, the rule of law, transparent and accountable government. What kind of civil society does US have? Every day all over US hundreds of non-whites citizens are being killed or ill treated by the police . There is frequent civil unrest all over US in protesting demonstrations over unfair laws against native, Mexican and African Americans or bias and unfair treatment by the police. There is discrimination in employment opportunity against the non-whites. If US can ill treat its own non-white citizens, shoot them and kill them at will and random at the whims of its police force what more can people of other countries under US control fare or hope to expect justice from a white supremacist dictatorship.
What is US rule of law when US white government can illegally deport non white citizens especially the African and Mexican Americans under spurious reasons and putting them and their children in cages before deportation. That is so much for their high ground talk of human rights. Pence talk of transparent and accountable government is all humbug and hubris. How transparent is US in leaving its mostly non white populated Puerto Rico in dire straits after hurricane disaster. Why is US still occupying a piece of Cuba's land in Guantanamo as a penal and military base where thousands of foreigners are kept in close tight prisons. The military base in Guantanamo poses a constant threat to central and South American countries. It is US base of intimidation and aggression. The base is an infringement of Cuba's sovereignty . Guantanamo was supposed to be returned to Cuba in the Barack Obama's administration. Why up to now it is not returned to Cuba? So white men really speak with fork tongues and cannot be trusted.
What democracy is US practising? What kind of human rights is it talking? And how transparent is its government when they have one law for whites and one malevolent law for non-whites. How civil is the US government , how transparent is it and what human rights is it talking when money from welfare for the poor mostly non-whites is taken away and siphoned of to the military for its illegal and illicit wars of aggression against countries which do not toe US dictates.
US statesmen and politicians and military strongmen talks in overseas forums or assemblies is just unabash lies and poisonous propaganda with underliying subtle threats to countries which do not agree with US dictatorship and or foreign policy.
