Which is why Russia coming out as victorious on this current war with U.S./NATO using Ukraine as it's proxy must succeed because if Russia fails and collapse it isn't unlikely that Putin and his acolytes will be replaced by a pro-western interests, placing China in the most delicate position being surrounded by enemies from all direction.

So the maxim of the enemy of my enemy is my friend aptly applies to China's current predicament. We can't pretend that China must absolve or wash itself away from the Russians because China is some sort of super benevolent peace loving country or that Russia had caused historical great damage to China as some of our esteemed members on this forum have purposely argued.

We ought to really ask this question: is the world that has been conquered, shaped, and led by the white western countries prepared to live in a world where thr predominant power is non-white, non-Christian, and Asian? A race that's been historically demeaned, devalued, and characterized as both weak, and inferior? We can see and observe from countries in Europe that even if they largely disagree with American way of doing things geopolitically, distaste the American culture, way of thinking etc..they are more than willing to overlook all of those negatives because their dislike of Asia, specifically China possibly lording over the civilized Europeans, Anglo-Saxon countries is a reality that must not come to pass; not in their lifetimes. Therefore, it has to be assumed the worst possible motivations from China's enemies, that no actions will be too despicable or too low for them not to consider doing or taking just to ensure that China and the rest of the Global South can't and must not rise.
This CGTN western media exposition by Liu Xin summed up nicely what I have expressed here in a more profound way.

"Maybe Stalin/Mao was right" stage.
*Lenin/Mao. Lenin was one of the OGs and I think he ultimately had the right way of progressively moving from capitalism to socialism, then communism (as Marx himself actually intended). However, the West decided it is better to stagnate in capitalism due to their red scare propaganda bullshit, hence the accumulated capital went not into building socialism and improving the QoL for the average person but into MIC, debt traps, and enrichment of the 1%.

Bezos, Buffet, Gates, Musk have a total net worth of 570.000.000.000$


Speaking of fair. Kenya a country with 47.000.000 people has to work 5 years to create that sum of money in GDP.


If I would have had this sum of money, I would just donate all of it to the CCP so they can built more schools, train more teachers and built some Wind turbines in the desert.


I wonder what the current billionaires do with the cash, besides predorily robbing the proletariat.

Oh yes, I think China certainly needs to invest more into those wind power stations in the desert to increase their capability of delivering clean energy to any part of the globe ;) in addition to that, they should consider more underwater and rail-based wind turbines too.

Australia reaches $2.4b settlement with France over scrapped submarine deal​


Australia released a massive compensation deal of A$830 million Australian dollars with French submarine maker Naval Group on June 11, putting an end to a decade-old multi-billion-dollar submarine contract dispute. This helped the soured relationship between two countries when Australia turned to eight nuclear-powered submarines with alternative deals with US and UK.

Iran and Venezuela sign major deal – media​

The details of the agreement have not yet been disclosed

Iran and Venezuela sign major deal – media


Iran and Venezuela signed a 20-year cooperation deal on Saturday during a visit by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to Tehran, Iranian state media has reported.

The agreement reached by two of the most sanctioned countries in the world “shows the determination of the high-level officials of the two countries for development of relations in different fields,” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on state TV, as cited by AFP.

Details of the new agreement between the two countries have not yet been made public. However, during his visit, Maduro was accompanied by officials from areas including agriculture, technology, oil, communications, tourism, and transportation, which may signify the spheres of cooperation the two nations have in mind.

Both Iran and Venezuela are under heavy US sanctions, and according to Maduro, they have “a common vision” regarding international issues, and plan to work together in the “war of sanctions and find ways to counter them with steadfastness.

Caracas and Tehran have shaped the strategy of resistance economy and are working to expand it,” he was cited as saying.
In an interview with Iranian HispanTV on Friday, Maduro announced the opening of a weekly flight route from Caracas to Tehran. He also said that Venezuela plans to sell coffee to Iran.

Iran and Venezuela have drawn closer in the past two years, most notably through energy projects. In May, the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company signed a contract to repair an oil refinery in Venezuela. In his interview, Maduro thanked Iran for fuel shipments to Venezuela.

Saudi Arabia to cut oil supplies to China – reports​

The move comes as China increases imports of discounted oil from Russia

According to the reports, the world’s largest oil exporter, Saudi Aramco, has notified at least four Chinese refiners that it will be supplying less than the contracted volumes of oil next month.

Sources say the move is due to the fact that China is increasing imports of Russian oil at a substantial discount, which Moscow offered to buyers after Western states began canceling Russian deliveries amid the Ukraine-related sanctions. In addition, there is growing demand for Saudi oil worldwide, especially in Europe, amid the phasing out of Russian energy and the search for new suppliers.

Reports also state that refineries in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, and India will receive their oil in full, while some will even receive extra supplies, including a Malaysian refinery in Pengerang. Also, at least three European refiners have received full contractual volumes for July delivery from the Saudi company, sources say.

Well, actually I disagree a bit - there was a lot of luck and great geographical position of the US that led to them becoming the ultimate superpower, sure, but you forget the part about vast resources, huge human capital (it is by far the largest Western country), and you cannot really disregard the American science & innovation, especially in the 20th century. A lot of the USSR tech base was built on American\European tech,
Do you even know what you writing?. Western scientific foundation is built from Russian empire talent always moved East to West.
This hint for Hollywood. for founding you need capital.
