As President Xi Jinping secured an unprecedented third time period as Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader yesterday The Coming War on China draws ever nearer, predicts award-winning journalist John Pilger.
In Pilger’s thought-provoking documentary, The Coming War on China, he notes the United States, backed by Western mainstream media (MSM), has been “beating the drums of struggle and the world has been primed to treat China as a brand new enemy.”
But why does the US regard China as an enemy? According to the documentary, financial jealousy. The Chinese do capitalism better than the West. China is thrashing the US at their own game as a result of they don’t let the business sector run the country the greatest way enterprise runs the West.
Eric Li, entrepreneur and social scientist, said…
“One fable I suppose really needs to be dispelled is that by some means China’s aiming to exchange America and gonna run the world. First of all, the Chinese usually are not that silly. The West, with its Christian roots, are about changing other folks to their beliefs. The Chinese usually are not about that. I’m not degrading the Western tradition. I’m just mentioning the inherent nature, the DNA’s of two different cultures. The Chinese 2000 years ago built the Great Wall to maintain the barbarians out, to not invade them.”
John Pilger
Pilger, an Australian journalist, documentary maker, and BAFTA winner, factors out that since China opened up to the West in 1979 and embraced some parts of capitalism it has lifted more than 300 million individuals out of poverty.
Shanghai pre-Covid-19 was a prosperous international city still run by the Communists, a minimal of in identify. The reality, Pilger says, China has matched America at its personal nice game of capitalism and that is unforgivable.
“America was now threatened by the emergence of an enormous picture of itself,” Pilger stated.
Eric Li adds…
“In China, there are lots of problems. But at the moment, the Chinese, the party-state, has proven a unprecedented capacity to vary. In America, you can change political events however you can’t change the policies.
“In China, you can’t change the party however you’ll be able to change insurance policies. For over 70 years, China has been run by one single get together yet the political changes that have taken place in China these previous 70 years have been wider and broader and larger than in all probability another main nation in fashionable memory.
“So, in that time, China ceased to be communist. China is a market economy. It’s a vibrant market financial system but it isn’t a capitalist country. Here’s why.
“There’s no way a bunch of billionaires might control the celebration bureau as billionaires control American policymaking. So in China, you might have a vibrant market economic system however capital does not rise above political authority. Capital does not have enshrined rights. In America, capital, the interest of capital and capital itself has risen above the American nation.
“The political authority can’t verify the power of capital. That’s why America is a capitalist country but China’s not. China’s aims are modest compared with their weight. They’re not trying to run the world. They’re not even trying to run the Asian-Pacific. I think they wish to keep America from dominating the Asian-Pacific.
“So they’ve what they consider is their rightful place in the Asian-Pacific, because of all civilizations and all the history on their side, so their goals are actually modest in contrast with their capability.”
Hundreds of US army bases encompass China within the South China Sea.
The documentary highlights US’ ambition to impress a warfare with China. They invest trillions of dollars into the nation’s navy programme and they should justify it, so they need an enemy. That enemy is now China, and the excuse they make is Taiwan.
The US obsesses over China invading the province without evidence. And but, the One-China coverage of Taiwan as a province and a part of the Chinese mainland was recognized by the United Nations General Assembly Resolution in 1971. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, 181 countries have established diplomatic relations with China on the One-China coverage. The US is a sort of nations.
Pilger believes there was a century-long fear, suspicion, and unfounded hatred of China by the US. US businessmen had their concessions in Shanghai in the late 19th century and early 20th century the place they became very wealthy largely on the back of medication, in particular, opium. But they had been driven out of China by the Communists in 1949 and the US has never forgiven them.
Yet Chairman Mao Zedong reached out to the US 5 years earlier than he drove Westerners out of China in 1949. And he continued to reach out for years after.
Mao sent this secret message to Washington. He said…
“China must industrialize. This can solely be done by free enterprise. Chinese and American interests match together economically and politically.
“America needn’t concern that we’ll not be cooperative. We cannot risk crossing America. We cannot risk any battle.”
Mao acquired no reply.
Pilger reviews Mao was trying to be a good friend of the US from the beginning.
Mao says, I will go meet Franklin Roosevelt within the White House. Mao reaches out in 1950 to Harry Truman. The US diplomats who carried these messages have been condemned as Communists and traitors.
According to the documentary, the catalyst for the current alarm was China reclaiming territory in the South China Sea to build airstrips on disputed islands that had been condemned by a global tribunal.
It became a flashpoint between the US and China. But what isn’t highlighted in MSM is the amount of US navy bases armed with warships, missiles, and bombers, in locations such because the Marshall Islands, surrounding China in the South China Sea, the Pacific Ocean, Australia, and beyond.
James Bradley, the creator of the China Mirage, said…
“If you could look out of the tallest constructing in Beijing and seemed out into the South China Sea you would see warships.
“The US is at war with China on the bottom and in the air. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, former President Barack Obama, committed to trillions of dollars to our nuclear arsenal. He committed trillions of future dollars to warfare in house and we need an enemy for all this money and China’s the right enemy.”
Recognized that the Japanese island of Okinawa is occupied by 32 army installations. From there, the US attacked Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
Okinawa is the entrance line of a beckoning struggle with China. The US has a number of military bases on the island. During the Cold War, the US secretly put in nuclear weapons at this launch pad in Okinawa. Most of them have been geared toward China.
Likewise, Jeju Island is a world heritage website. The authorities of South Korea declared it an island of world peace. But on this island of peace lies one of the provocative navy bases on the planet has been built lower than four hundred miles from Shanghai. Like Okinawa and the Marshall Islands, this is America’s frontline in its so-called “Pivot to Asia.”
Pilger concludes…
“The US is an empire that never speaks its title. It has four,000 army bases, with 1,000 unfold across each continent. From these bases, the US operates a secret army in 147 nations.
“By speaking out, they deliver a warning to all of us. Can we really afford to be silent?”
