China USA approaches in their global contest

 What China leveraged on is based on years of studying issues and weighing its usefulness or potential sucess. China invested in rare earth processing, building up its refining infrastructures years before semiconductors even started playing centre stage in global technology development. China started securing basic raw materials for its EV industry, years before embarking on its road to concentrate on EVs. Those are just basic examples.

What the USA leveraged on is based on conjecture coming out of thin air and based on immediate gratification, using force, sanctions and threats as their weapon. And its modus operandi is using allies as cannon fodder when it comes to countering Russia and China. How much success have they garnered in their sanctions on Russia? How much success are they reaping setting up the oil caps?

Morever, over the longer term, how much success have their sanctions been working against Cuba or North Korea for more than half a century? Both are still standing and uncollapsible, with North Korea even becoming a nuclear power and producing weapons for sale to Russia. Sanctions only serves to make them even more determined to stand up against the USA. It is said that the more the USA tried to put countries down, the more hardened is their resolve to survive. It is the same with Russia and it will be the same with China, if it comes around. Russia will end up stronger, which it already is compared to the EU, the cannon fodder of the USA. Japan and South Korea are also in the same shoes as the EU supporting the USA in its tech war against China and now suffering economically.

Belt and Road forum welcoming Banquet, Beijing, China

 

 

BRI Welcome Banquet 6 min. The grand reception party for the world leaders and VVIPs attending the 3rd Belt and Road Forum at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, China. This is what the world leaders should be doing, working together in peaceful cooperation to better the world and the lives of their people. Living and coexisting with all states in harmony. Everyone and country benefit from peaceful cooperation, not antagonism, division and wars.

Please note, all the warmongering leaders are not in this banquet. They are very busy inciting wars, agitating for wars and fighting wars in Europe and the Middle East...and supporting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Contrast what the warmongering leaders are doing in Ukraine, Kosovo, Armenia/Azerbaijan, Middle East, esp Gaza, which is the better way for humanity?

President Xi Jinping hosted the event for responsible and peace loving world leaders that put economic development and trade as the top priorities in their leadership. Lets grow and prosper together.

The leaders in this banquet must congratulate themselves for keeping their countries and people living peacefully and happily and growing prosperity. Tomorrow is a better day.

Money is better spent on infrastructure and the people instead of buying weapons and wars.

Gaza - Those that do not condemn the war crimes and crimes against humanity are accomplices to the crimes

 No one in their right mind would not condemn the genocide going on in Gaza and the massacres and apartheid happening in the whole of Palestine. By not saying anything, by allowing them to happen, by allowing the Palestinians to be massacred in broad daylight, these people are as guilty as the criminals perpetuating such crimes.

Even hard core Europeans are coming to their senses that genocide is not tolerable. 2.3m Arab Muslims being slaughtered and their homes bombed, how can anything with any sense of justice, any sense of humanity and compassion, pretend that it is alright, can look the other way, to allow the massacre to go one without saying anything? Where is the decency, where is the justice, where is the principle, where is the law?

With more and more countries standing up to condemn the genocide, the minorities that are supporting the massacre and standing on the side of the murderers would soon be isolated and become the enemies of the civilised world. They cannot run away from their evil position to support the massacre of 2.3m civilians. Even Biden has to pretend to call the Israelis not to occupy Gaza, while sending all the weapons needed to the Israelis in the genocide. And Blinken has been flirting around the capitals of Arab states pretending to be seeking peace without telling the murderers to stop their act of killing the Palestinians. Everyday wasted is a day of massacre. 

The dubious and lying Americans have been on the side of the Israelis in their massacre of the Palestinians for decades, pretending not to know. And their think the Arabs and Muslims are stupid and cannot see what is happening. They think the whole world is stupid and did not know their treacherous behaviours against the Palestinians specifically and the Arab and Muslim world in general.

There is no more trust in the evil Americans for betraying the Arab and Muslim people for decades while supporting the Israelis to be the terrorists in the region against them. They have supported the Israelis to become the most powerful military state in the region and kept the Arab and Muslim states not only weak but fighting among themselves endlessly. They would sell to the Israelis all the most advanced weapons to control the Arab and Muslim states and would not sell them to the Arab and Muslim states. The Americans think they can continue to play this stupid game against the Arabs and Muslims and can get away with it. They think sending Blinken to flip from one Arab capital to the next could deceive the Arabs that he is trying to help the Arabs and Muslims and not creating a false sense of hope while letting the Israelis all the time in the world to terminate the Palestinians.

A war crime is a war crime. A crime against humanity is a crime against humanity. If this goes one for another few days, there would be not many Palestinians left in Gaza. The Arab and Muslim states and countries of the world must be a stop to it immediately. By not stopping the massacre is as good as condoning the massacre.

If one cannot see the hypocrisy of the USA and the West,...

 If one cannot see the hypocrisy of the USA and the West, just looking at the issues relating to the Uyghurs and the Palestinians, it is really sad to see that the brainwashing by the USA and the MSM are really beyond countering.

Hopefully, there are glimmers of hope, particularly in the Arab World and in Africa. These two segments of the world population are really wising up and able to see the hypocrisy being exhibited by the USA and the West. Sadly, in the more, so called developing world, especially East Asia and Indo Pacific countries, the blinkers are still on, unwilling to be taken off.

The Arab world have their oil propping up their courageous stand, which the USA and the West fear to antagonise and have been largely left in abeyance, and even being allowed to be relatively free to chart their destiny.

Africa is too big for the USA and the West to just swallow wholesale, despite their backwardness and the presence of all the USA and Western military bases and logistics on the continent. 1.4 billion Africans can flatten those bases if antagonised into open rebellion. That movie 'Black Hawk Down' showed the ferocity of Africans when it comes to fearless confrontation against even more sophisticated weapons and air superiority. Wave after wave of attackers trying to lay seige to the downed Black Hawk helicopter was amazing.

That leaves much of Asia deemed as mostly paralysed 'living deads' available for exploitation by the USA and the West. Nato is even planning to expand into Asia, with Japan willingly jumping on the bandwagon. With the USA and Nato in Asia, peace is no longer a given. There was a saying decades ago that wherever the USA goes, trouble follows. How true it is!

PS. Biden and Blinken were in Israel pretending to be there for peace but actually buying time for the Israelis to continue with their genocide against the Palestinians.

The only war the USA won so far is Imperialism

 The only war the USA won so far is its 'imperialistic' ambitions. That is supported by its building and expanding its military bases all around the world.

When China embarked on the BRI, it was demonised to no end, and accused of setting debt traps. If that is true, what have the IMF done to countries like Argentina, now in deeper debt to the IMF with each devaluation of the Argentina Peso. With Argentina's inflation running out of control, it gets more difficult for it to repay its IMF loans in US$. Why have the USA or the West never consider that as a debt trap set by the IMF is beyond logic.

Over the decades, no country big or small have come out to accuse the USA of harbouring 'Imperialism' ambitions by building military bases in countries it wants to control, often using fabricated threats to create fear and unease for such countries to suit its vile agenda. This is often their modus operandi, that is slowly being seen more clearly by many countries, particularly with the experience by the Africans, the most colonised and exploited continent in history.

It was the same with the Europeans, using the threat from the former Soviet Union as a basis to form Nato. After the fall of the Soviet Union, logically Nato should have been disbanded. But the USA continued to play up the threat of Russia to instil fear among the Europeans, that without Nato, Russia will swallow them up. The Warsaw Pact countries are already history and disbanded, but Nato continues to exist, solely for the USA to station troops and have a foothold in Europe.

The USA is now creating the same kind of scenario in East Asia and Indo Pacific region, using China to create fear among those countries around the region, so that it can start to expand its 'Imperialistic' footprint in the region. USA is even using Nato to expand its influence in the region by setting up and intending to expand Nato into the Asian continent through Japan. Do not think for a moment that ASEAN will be spared. What is happening in Papua New Guineau is just the beginning of trouble, first for Indonesia and later for ASEAN as a whole. The USA is already using the CIA and its supported NGOs working the ground in Indonesia and many ASEAN countries.

PS.  IMF and World Bank interest rates are 5%. China's loan interest rates are 1 to 2%. China even gave interest free loans to countries like Nicaragua, selling its EV buses at a huge discount, at 3/4 its normal price.

Who is the real culprit that is causing debt traps to third world countries?
