China's strategic vulnerabilities

Jono said:

excerpts taken from the Washington Post:
Former State Department's Kiron Skinner describes great power competition with China as “a fight with a really different civilization and a different ideology, and the United States hasn’t had that before.” China “poses a unique challenge … because the regime in Beijing isn’t a child of Western philosophy and history.” The Cold War constituted “a fight within the Western family,” while the coming conflict with China is “the first time that we will have a great power competitor that is not Caucasian.”
Skinner offers a further clue about what she means. China, she notes, is the first great power competitor that the United States has faced that is “not Caucasian.” In the end, the argument is not about ideology or civilization. It is about race. China — unlike Russia — is not predominantly white, and thus must be dealt with differently.

Guys, we are not talking about individual feelings and prejudices, but rather collective psyche as a nation.
the West ( at least the 5 eyes ) simply cannot allow a non Caucasian country to be number 1. Does this carry a racial tone? You judge by yourself. Yellow peril says it all.
As a strategy, China should also play divide and conquer among the Western powers, particularly under the present gloomy global economic situation.

I agree. This is what I mean. Don't use skin racism tone.

But with clear mind, selective objective, and acceptable to others. If you target 1 person, you have to be clear that you target that one person, not everyone in the room. Don't confront with clouded, angry mind; and use racism slur that targeted not only the person that attack you, but everyone. Because It will backfire and hurt you instead.

With "Kung Flu" those people who suffer economically because of Covid 19 will enrage to China. But with "White" racism slur, those white people from all over the world will enrage to you instead.

I never said all white people on the planet and I never heard people here say all white people either. Calling out on racism isn’t a slur.

Skinner is an African-American woman. Don't be surprised because do not follow the tropes that everyone non-white is all fighting the same cause against racism. I mentioned in this forum how there's all this talk in the US about how to end white supremacy because of George Floyd. People in the US who talk about that are talking about how is everyone going to live together. There's a kind of end to white supremacy that even liberals are afraid of losing and it's the kind that China now is in the forefront of ushering. How are liberals going exercise their social experiments onto the world if there's not a mechanism of punishment they can inflict to those that don't do what they tell them? How will they be able to force what they think is best for the Chinese? You have to have power above everyone else in order for them to do that. When Bruce Jenner became Caitlyn Jenner... as usual the US likes to force the world to pay attention to any social injustices they deem as important to them at the same time. And like clockwork there were articles calling for China to deal with transsexual issues in China. They did it with George Floyd where all the sudden China was accused of racism against blacks. Did China kill anybody black like Americans do? No. I say all the time that the US is deathly afraid of what China will do to them in the future that they're trying to do today to China... they want a world that acts like China doesn't exist. They don't want a world where China can just ignore them and they can do nothing about it without suffering severe punishment. That is their nightmare scenario because it's not a crime to just ignore them. There are people like Skinner who hold Western values seeing getting more in life if the West was in control of the world. That's white supremacy and it's not the kind they're looking to get rid of. China didn't enslave Africans. Chinese have no guilt just like how Skinner feels no guilt for what the West she defends did to China. If you live in the US, you know Americans talk as if the universe only revolves around black and white people. Everyone else is not as important. If you're like Skinner she's seeing how in a Western controlled world, she gets more from it than one where the West is not in control. The goal for China is to be able turn off the noise coming from the West and they can do nothing about it.

Another insightful article about russia position on the new cold war by timotey bordachev
He argued that in order for China or the us for that matter to win the cold war 2 they need a third major power which is russia just as the soviet union was defeated by us in alliance with China

He also argued that since China is not the leader of any sufficiently powerful group of states with the same ideology and China is not part or the leader of a bloc, it will not act on the basis of collective interest therefore russia should take China side and should aim to weaken the United States as much as possible because if China prevails it will leave much more room for Russia’s security to depend only on itself.

I think China should do whatever it can to bring russia to her side, and not let the us and allies drive a wedge between them, with joe biden victory increasingly likely, russia will be more open to an open alliance with China

So China is going to be classify as the enemy if Perry gets his way. And talking about being petty. If he gets his way, the US do not have to call him 'president'. Gee

President no more? A US bill would ban the title for China’s leader
Under the Name the Enemy Act, Xi Jinping would no longer be called China’s president in any US government document
While it follows remarks by US officials calling Xi general secretary, the legislation is not likely to come up for a vote this session


This is more worthy. Perry is looking to recognise Taiwan in the UN. And recognise Hong Kong and Tibet as a country. Where do America get this people?

In recent months, Perry has introduced a flurry of aggressive and somewhat unlikely bills related to China, including legislation that would cut US funding to the United Nations until the body expels China and recognises Taiwan, and bills that would authorise the US president to recognise Hong Kong and Tibet as countries independent from China.

This should be in the funny stuff thread. US defunding UN is basically giving up UN membership... And lose that veto.

I guess China should recognize California, Texas, and Hawaii as independent countries as well.

This just show how desperate the Republicans are that they have to resort to superficial nonsense. What happened to all those lawsuits to make China pay for coronavirus? Just as superficial because they know in the end it does nothing but tell the people who vote for them that they've done something.

Definately should be in the funny stuff if it wasn't serious. Yes you're right. It is just for home consumption. It is showing it's own populace, look we are getting tough on china, blah blah.

The funny thing is, if they stop funding the UN. Does it mean they have to give up their
Permanent seat and veto rights?

Just think the ramifications of that. Israel wouldn't be very please for one. And what about all those UN sanctions sponsor by US (in reality they are US sanctions).

And while we at it, take away UK and France as well. The UN composition compile in 1940s doesn't reflect the reality of today.

How dare US allies invest into China's tech sector because they have faith in China's future independence from the West...! How dare they not believe in US omnipotence where no one survives without the US's say so.
