The Americans openly pronounced that China cannot be richer and more advanced technologically and militarily than the Americans. China must be put down. And they are going to war with China, to attack China to keep China poor and obedient.
Anyone thinks anything wrong with this position of the Americans? The white men and American colonies and cronies would not think so. This is the order of the world, American Rules Based Order. The American hegemony, the American Empire must rule the world and anyone challenging this balance of power is a threat and must be destroyed. This is the reason why no country dares to comment or protest. This is the principle to live with, under the American Empire.
American gangster, the news reader, now calling himself the Defence Chief of the American Empire said so at the Shangri La Dialogue. China is a threat because China wants to be a hegemonic power, China wants to take over Taiwan by force. And this gangster said this is not acceptable. And he orders all the countries in the Shangri La Dialogue, mostly white countries or pro American countries, to take up arms to join the Americans to start a war with China. Caveat, Asean chief said no, Asean is not going to get involved in such a fight.
The Chinese delegation was present when this gangster called for war with China. They would be reporting this to Beijing on their return. What is Beijing going to do about it? By the way, Beijing knows about this American position for a long time. Beijing is aware of the military buildup by the Americans in Japan, South Korea and in the Philippines, maybe in some other Asean countries as well, covertly. Very likely nuclear weapons are now stationed in the Philippines.
Yes, what is Beijing going to do with this declaration of war by the American gangster? Whether China does and does not do anything, China is already called an aggressive country by the belligerent warmongering Americans. Oops, the Americans are peace loving people, a peaceful country but engaging in wars all over the world and going to attack China.
When is China going to say the same thing to the Americans, or at least act on it, by placing some nuclear weapons in the Caribbeans or in Latin America? Not responding or doing anything, China is as good as waiting to be attacked by the Americans. So far the Chinese could say is that they are also preparing for war with the Americans and they are ready. Under the present battle order, China can only strike back after being struck by the Americans. And with nuclear weapons around its shores, the situation for China is precarious. China is at risk of being annihilated by the American gangsters and savages in a surprise blitz.
China can only count on itself, and maybe a few allies like Russia, North Korea and Iran to join in when being attacked. The rest of the world has accepted that the American terrorists have the right to bring down China by attacking and invading China for peace. Some may even be thinking of being on the side of 'friendly and peaceful' America against an 'aggressive and expansionist' China.
The position of China is not very good. The American terrorists would want to win a decisive war against China, as claimed by the gangster Hegseth. The Americans have great records of winning decisive wars, like in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, and lately in Ukraine, Gaza and in the Red Sea. Just believe the American gangsters that the Americans would fight and win against China decisively like they are doing against the Houthis and the Afghan tribesmen.
