Commentary: China’s divide-and-conquer strategy isn’t fooling anyone anymore
Recent
actions involving Australia and New Zealand reveal the country’s modus
operandi can be effective but will have broader, corrosive implications
for China, says Christian Le Miere....
A PATTERN OF COERCIVE DIPLOMACY
Beijing
uses a range of tools and tactics to divide and conquer. This consists
of economic and diplomatic levers to punish states that have
transgressed unwritten red lines and market-based enticements for
smaller, weaker states to cultivate influence.
Many such
tactics are not unique to China. It is commonplace for countries,
particularly larger ones, to sanction others in tits-for-tats to shape
behaviour and maintain state-to-state relations on an even keel in
protecting domestic interests and pursuing national goals.
But Beijing is relatively unusual in the manner in which it undertakes this coercion, using disproportionality, extra-legal processes, and deniability....CNA
Why would CNA regularly put up such
silly articles written by the white men to demonise and attack China?
The divide and conquer strategy has been the hallmark of western
imperialism and colonialism for centuries when they divided and
conquered the whole world. Many countries are still under the controls
of the white men, including large swathe of land mass like the USA,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many parts of the world. No, not
true? Cannot see? These lands belong to the white men, they never
conquer them? Practically every country in the world was, and some
still, conquered by the white men.
Many countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, Europe and Asia are living still under this divide and conquer strategy. Japan and South Korea are still semi colonies of the white men. Europe, with the EU countries in general and Germany in particular, are still controlled by the American Empire. Needless to say what is happening in the Middle East and Africa and Latin America. No, no, not true? Come off it you silly twits. Open your eyes and stop deluding yourself.
China conduct divide and conquer
diplomacy? Which country has China conquered? Fucking liars. China
dividing and conquering Australia and New Zealand? What the fuck are you
talking about? The current diplomatic rift with Australia is caused by
the Australians taking all kinds of punitive economic and political
measures and pot shots at China before China started to kick their arse.
China did not start this. China was happily trading with Australia for
decades, throwing billions of dollars into the Australian economy before
the current spat. There was absolutely no coercion or threats of any
kind from China. If Australia did not gang up with the USA to attack
China, would this happen, would China cut off trades with Australia,
stop buying Australian produce, coal, iron ore, wines etc etc?
Where is this shit called divide and conquer Australia and New Zealand coming from? Smoking too much grass or popping too much ice pills?
What does this writer think of what the Americans are doing with their warships all over the world and daily attacks against China?
What would China perceive if Singapore's media continuously published such silly biased western articles to attack China? Do the Singapore media really think such silly articles are objective read for its readers?
Which country has been conquered by China? I know that the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many others around the world are conquered and occupied by the Europeans till today. And many still in the process of being conquered, occupied with American and European soldiers in their land.
Think Iraq, Syria, Libya. Also think Germany, Japan, South Korea, Falkland, Hawaii, ....
China is still trying to recover its lost territories in Taiwan and many pieces of land on its borders and the South China Sea and East China Sea. There were China's territories conquered by foreign powers and it is China's legitimate right to take them back, not divide and conquer.
PS. The main media are controlled and managed not by stupid people. Did they not know the implications of publishing such hostile and negative articles smearing China and what the Chinese govt would read of the intent and agenda for doing such things?
