To be even allowed to do such a thing, the UK owes China for all the harm done in regards to the HK riots and every subversive action taken against Chinai clueing what happened to Mengand with regards to the BBC. These Brits can’t assume that China is like an on and off switch. The UK needs to suffer the consequences for their yank Rick sucking, with a monumental amount of interest beforeChina even considers show any sympathy because honestly, did they think that they can get away with with their idiot actions that easily. At this point in time, you can’t blame Chinaif they decide to send a DF missile to the Buckingham Palace because the Brits have done China so much harm that quite frankly, they have been begging for pain

The venerable ambassador M. K. Bhadrakumar gives his thoughts on the day of the centennial of CPC.

It is precisely this unique Party-State system that explains China’s epochal rise. The CPC is omnipotent in China and has become synonymous with the nation, the society and its politics. Succinctly put, national development flows from the robust pursuit of long-term goals set by the CPC.

The Party system is based on educated, competent functionaries who have risen to the top with grassroots experience in multiple provinces that moulded their national outlook, which makes the top leadership collegiate and helps consensus-building on major national issues.

Indeed, it strengthens cohesion and ensures continuity in the party as it transits from one generation to another. The annual conclave at the seaside resort of Beidahe testifies to the continuity and change in orderly transition — something which no other communist party in the world could emulate.

... and ...

So, what is this Indo-Pacific ‘itch’ about? Plainly put, it is the manifestation of a seething rivalry borne partly out of the obsessive US exceptionalism but largely due to the growing sense of envy and unease that another country is fast closing ranks and that might spell the doom for America’s global hegemony.

Despite all bravado, the point is the US is hard put to compete with China’s dynamic, innovative and rapidly growing economy that is already world’s number one in terms of purchasing power parity.

Professor Stephen Watt at Harvard Kennedy School tweeted today, “A lot of US foreign policy experts are worried about China’s rise. Me too. But how many of these experts have reflected on the fact that China hasn’t been fighting wars in lots of places, while steadily gaining greater wealth, power and influence?”

Quintessentially, what the US faces is a self-invited predicament. The wasteful wars and military interventions have drained trillions of dollars worth resources, which could have been diverted to the restoration and renewal of the country’s dilapidated economic infrastructure and for the redressal of accumulated social contradictions ranging from deep-rooted racism, violence, inequities in wealth and economic disparities, apart from a dysfunctional political system with hopelessly outdated electoral laws that hamper people’s empowerment.

Like with everything else the US uses China to hide that it will do nothing against China like with US infrastructure bills and subsidizing US tech. The global minimum tax does nothing to China but Biden mentioned it'll rein in China. It must be for the smaller pro-US countries that will be most affected being used as tax havens already to trick them into supporting it.

Regarding the GOP Senators calling for Biden to end Trump era tariffs... it says allies and only criticism of China. It doesn't really call for ending tariffs with China even though it's a typical tactic for slimy American politicians to counter something they're hypocritical on with an attack. Here for instance if they're truly calling for end to tariffs on China which is the complete opposite of what they supported under Trump to save face they would have to attack China at the same time.

I hope it's true that China isn't going to talk to Biden at the G20 summit. That would be the headline there if that were to happen. No one snubs the US. It would be fitting since cry-baby Obama, Biden's former boss, got similar treatment from China for thinking he could blame China for the failure of the UN Copenhagen environmental summit during his first year in office to cover-up how it was going fail anyway because the US congress was never going to ratify anything the world was to agree at Copenhagen anyway. It's an intentional insult and power play for Biden to speak to every other leader and bashing China before he bothers with China.

How about the homeless and mentally ill have been responsible for a large portion of anti-Asian hate crimes...? I can remember back when the homeless started getting attention in the US, the homeless were responsible for a lot of attacks on Asians back then because Asians had homes while they did not. Asians don't have to feel guilty for the homeless.

And yet we are told constantly that such political system is what's needed in China in order for China to unleash it's potential I.e. bigger wealth growth and political liberalization will make the country much more prosperous (lies and bull...t) When we all know that the record of Chinese economic growth has never been done or happened anywhere else in the world democracy included. This is the fact that is lost to many western apologists, western democratic lovers both within and without China. Some Chinese were moronic enough to believe that being in a democracy would have made China more prosperous if there was "free political debate" based on their erroneous belief in the American political system and one can't blame them at one point since America was indeed that center of the universe for most of the world. The subsequent financial crisis of 2008 the American misadventures in the whole of Middle East; the incompetence of handling a once in a century pandemic have clearly opened the eyes of some Chinese who were still on the fence on the viability and attractiveness of the American political system compared to what the CPC offers and operates in the country.

Democracy invites a breeds disunity, chaos, fragmentation with respect to the population and loss of a coherent vision that all the people can rally and aim for collectively. American political system is disproportionately based on hyper individualism and a built in distrust of their government hence why almost nothing gets seriously done in America or elsewhere without propping up imaginary enemies real or perceived.
In very simple language and to the REAL ESSENCE, the "Democrazy system" and multipolitical party system pushed by the current order of the Galactic Empire allows the lower cost for transaction in co-opting a nation and its resources, or even turn some impossible transaction into possibility.

In a multiparty environment, if the Party A declines to cooperate or asks too high the price, then the Transnational Corporation (or simply The Corporation) will negotiate with Party B for lower cost, make a deal and support it to gain the political power and so forth. Even for a targeted nation with no wanted resources (theoretically, for every nation should have something worth to grab, even the small and poor Syria still have little oil to loot), it's also an effective way to weaken the targeted nation by clashing one political party against the other.

Now imagine in dealing with one strong and determined single political party like the CPC, and esp. under Xi, the door is only one, take it or leave it. Last time they still tried to open side door through the corrupt powerful officials like Mr. Bo in CQ etc.

Which system do you prefer to... if you're the Wall Street Corp, or those Sith lords in D.C. or the City of London?

Not to say if you wanna smack your potential peer rival like the USSR or turn it into another vassal state through the Japanization!

Makes it seem like nothing less then the complete and utter disintegration of the entire west coast of America due to extreme heat and drought to force the USA to see some tiny amount of sense on what they should be focused on but these guys are in such denial that a simple celebration has to be made into a political event to make themselves feel better. If the USA wasn’t bankrupt and utterly stripped of a lot of its assets maybe they can celebrate their own national birthday founded on the genocide of its natives. At least China can easily be proud of its birth as a nation reborn from the ashes but what can the USA claim nowadays and heck, even Canada seems to be far more down in the dumps then before, I wonder way. ..cough... the world finding out the Canadian genocide of innocent children thereby killing Canada principle human rights arguement against China... cough...
