The whole of
the western world, particularly the American allies, are fuming mad at Britain
as if this ex world Empire has committed an unforgiveable sin. They are
furious, how could Britain go it alone, broke ranks to party with their ‘enemy’
that they pretended to be friendly with?
What did the
Brits do that invited the curse from every corner of the American
alliance? The British broke ranks when
they took the lead to join the AIIB, A Chinese initiative to help the
developing world in infrastructure development. This Chinese initiative was bad,
anything the Chinese did must be bad. The American and western allies have
always stayed together to divide the world among themselves, to stay together
to whack and bully the rest of the world, one country at a time. They succeeded
for several centuries by breaking up the countries of the world into individual
targets to be ruled by the West.
Now, after
joining the AIIB that led to the breaking of the dam for all the European
countries to follow suit, Britain again has done the unspeakable, opening the
door, roll out the read carpet, to invite Xi Jinping to Buckingham Palace and
all the sacred places in Britain. How could Britain do these things? These
places are only meant for the allies, not for the rest of the African and Asian
countries, and definitely not for Communist China. They forgot that the wealth
of Britain and many European countries, including Japan and the USA, were
robbed from China and other colonized countries of the world.
Britain, the
ever brilliant strategists, they did not rule the world for being daft, has
seen the opportunities opening up for them in a China that is growing richer
economically and a strategic alliance is the best thing for Britain. Britain
will be the leader of Europe again, to take the lead, as the leader into a new
world of cooperation with China. By courting China, Britain is positioning
itself to benefit from trade and investments with China, undercutting the rest
of Europe as the biggest beneficiary for being the first mover.
According to
a senior western intelligence officer, too ashamed and afraid to be identified
in case he needs to make a living in Beijing or Shanghai, as reported in the
Financial Times, ‘The most charitable spin we can put on the current China
policy of the British government is to say it is a pure mercantilist,
unprincipled, self serving decision aimed at attracting short term investment.
The big question is whether it works.’
What is so
principled about western domination of world trade at the expense of Asia and
African countries? What is so unprincipled to trade with China, to court China
on mutually beneficial terms? Is he letting the cat out of the bag? What had
the western allies been doing under cloak and dagger to control the world trade
and to isolate and contain China?
Britain
would have nothing to do with the old western dominance theory and policy. The
world has changed and the Brits have seen it and are taking the bull by the
horns to move ahead and leaving the scheming European and American allies
sulking and sucking their thumbs. They can cry foul, but what is best for
Britain, a former world empire, would be best left to the Brits. They needed
China to grow, and so is the rest of the world. The European and western allies
can cling on to their past glory and old method of divide and rule, and try to
contain China, which is no longer containable. Not only China is rising, the
rest of the world, Asia, Africa and Latin America are also rising.
Good luck to
the ageing American Empire and their allies. The world is not going to wait for
them and to be controlled by them anymore. They can frown and cry in
disapproval, Queen Elizabeth is going to host Xi Jinping and his wife in
Buckingham Palace as planned. British interest comes first.
Welcome to
Britain and a decade of golden years in Sino British ties. It’s elementary,
Watson. This is British diplomacy at its best.
