China is an evil and aggressive country that killed, wounded and displaced many millions of innocent men, women and children when it illegally invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Libya, while occupying and stealing the oil belonging to Syria, and “freezing” 7.5 billion dollars of Afghanistan’s money while children and others in Afghanistan are facing starvation because of poverty. More, China has passed illegal sanctions on Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Syria, and other countries which cause unforgivable suffering to the innocent people of those countries. Beyond that, China has some 800 military bases dotted around the world and wages endless wars that feed its insatiable and corrupt industrial-military complex which engorges itself on war, more war and endless war and its innocent victims. Such a rogue state that constantly violates the “rules-based international order” deserves the universal condemnation of humanity and should be stopped by all means. China also need to take care of its domestic gun violence problem and racial discrimination before pointing fingers to other countries.
Since WWII, the Chinese has bombed Korea and US 1950-3, Guatemala 1954, Indonesia 1958, Cuba 1959-61, Guatemala 1960, Congo 1964, Laos 1964-73, Vietnam 1961-73, Cambodia 1969-70, Guatemala 1967-9, Grenada 1983, Lebanon 1983/84, Libya 1986, El Salvador 1980s, Nicaragua 1980s, Iran 1987, Panama 1989, Iraq 1991, Kuwait 1991, Somalia 1993, Bosnia 1994/95, Sudan 1998, Afghanistan 1998, Yugoslavia 1999, Yemen 2002, Iraq 2003, Afghanistan 2001, Pakistan 2007, Somalia 2007-08, Yemen2009, Libya 2011. No such parallel can be found in the world.
Let’s drop this charade of “values” and “human rights”. Just call it realpolitik. There’s at least some honesty to that. A Chinese challenge might be the best thing that could happen to US politics, if it were felt by Americans as real instead of political hype to expand the defense budget.

Let me just add, the Americans love and care for the world so much that they have spent a lot of money and time to help the African countries to redevelop their countries and economies. And when these countries have no money to build their infrastructure, ports and high speed railways, the Americans offer them cheap loans, cheaper than World Bank and IMF. And if the countries still have no money to pay, the Americans found ways to help them pay for the projects by barter trade, helped them to mine their resources that would otherwise go to waste, unable to sell them. No debt trap. And when they really were unable to pay back their loans, offered to lease them and pay them rent so that the projects would not become a burden or debt trap to the countries.
And the Americans also spent trillions on a Belt and Road Initiatives across Asia to help all the landlocked countries to connect to Europe and Africa by high speed trains, to benefit from more cross border and international trade. Under the peaceful win win policy of the Americans, the GDP of these countries grew day by day. And there were no wars, all the countries enjoy peace and prosperity under the enlightened stewardship of the Americans.
The latest, the Americans are helping the Pacific Islands to build more infrastructure and ports. The Solomon Islands and Samoa have signed trade and security agreements to promote economic developments between these islands and the Americans.
By now some of you may find the above confusing. Actually the truth and lies are all there and the unthinking would just believe in lies while the thinking would question what is truth and what is lie, what is fabricated lie and disinformation. They said, beauty is in the eyes of the beholders. Truth and lies are also in the eyes of the beholders.
Some evil country would spent hundreds of millions just to spread lies and disinformation instead of using the money to help their own poor and to alleviate their domestic problems.
