• US, China, Asia-Pacific

    From gerard jud@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 23 23:29:49 2022
    The US Biden Administration is using its narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war to move against China in Asia-Pacific.

    It is speeding up the alliance such as QUAD and forming new alliance such as IPEF against China.

    It is using the narrative of the war to convince Asians that there are similarities between Russia vs Europe and China vs Asia-Pacific. In the case of Taiwan, it is engaging in scare-mongering, saying that the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine will lead
    to a Chinese “invasion” of Taiwan. This is all rubbish, typical American bullshit.


    The true narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war is simply this:
    Ukraine has allowed itself to be used as a pawn by the US to move against its bigger and more powerful neighbor Russia to the extend that it is threatening the security of Russia.


    The lesson from Ukraine for the Asia-Pacific nations is simply this:
    Do not allow yourself to be used by the US as a pawn to move against China to the extend that you threaten the security of China.

    The lesson applies most appropriately to the Chinese island province of Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan should not attempt to separate from China at the behest of the US.


    By now, the whole world knows that the US is afflicted with Sinophobia much worse than it is with the COVID-19 virus. It is completely possessed by the Spirit of a Rising China. It shivers and convulses at the sight of a rising China.

    As part of its world strategy, the US has always wanted to turn the Asia-Pacific into a region of anti-China. Should Asia-Pacific nations gang up with the US to thwart the rise of China? What gain would they make out of this? It would make more sense for
    them to work with China. Despite this, the US is hell bent on forming alliances in the Asia-Pacific against China. This holds true across different US political parties and Presidents.



    While Donald Dotard Dumb Trump used trade as weapons against China, Senile Sleepy Joe Biden goes for ideology using democracy, freedom and human rights.

    Visiting the Asia-Pacific now, with his unsteady gait, sleepy look and slurring speeches, he is attempting to coax Asia-Pacific nations to make China their common enemy. Making it easy for the US is that each Asia-Pacific nation has its own national
    interest to serve. Where a nation’s interest and that of the US are mutually beneficial, that nation will align with the US against China.


    Senile and Sleepy Joe is presiding over the first Summit Meeting of QUAD, an anti-China alliance of US and its dogs, namely, Australia, Japan and India. Take a closer look at the Dogs of the QUAD.

    Australia considers itself the White bastion of Asia-Pacific. An ex-British colony which is supposedly an independent nation, it still swear allegiance to the British Monarch. It lives with the constant phobia of being invaded by the “Asian Hordes from
    the North”. For this reason, it will align itself with any Western power against China.

    After its defeat in WW2, Japan abandoned its militarist past and swore to be a nation of pacifists striving for peace. The Americans are changing all these. Obsessed with the Chinese threat, the Americans want Japan to be another nation to counter the
    rise of China. It is encouraging the Japs to remilitarise.
    The Japan are most happy to oblige. It has rewritten its Constitution to allow it to engage in wars again. It has ambition to restore the historical glory of its Imperial past. The Japanese national spirit has not changed much since WW2. It still salutes
    the same flag, retains its Imperial System, pray by the national religion of Shintoism with the belief that Japanese is a superior race of people whose Emperor is the descendant of the Sun God.
    Under American auspices, the revival of Japanese imperialism is going full steam ahead.
    The remilitarisation of Japan will threaten the two Koreas which were colonised by Japan and suffered atrocious Japanese rule before and during WW2. So too the nations of Asean.
    Japan has a hidden desire to rule over Taiwan again, just as it has done for 50 years before WW2. It has declared that it is ready to defend Taiwan against China, i.e., it is ready to attack China again, as it had done before and during WW2.


    As if these two are not bad enough, there’s still India. India is the US favorite counterweight against China. It has a huge population, is a nuclear power and has territorial dispute with China in the Himalayan region. India is that dark force that
    the US has led into the Asia-Pacific. It may be farthest away from the Pacific and has no coastline along the Ocean, yet those damned Americans have coined a term Indo-Pacific to include it into the Pacific.

    India laps it all up. Before US’s embrace, India is a poorly governed state without much to show the world except an ever increasing population. Because of its uncontrolled population growth, India has no choice but to seek territorial expansion. It
    has its eyes on its neighboring states. It has swallowed Sikkim and more recently, Jammu-Kashmir. It is looking towards the Asia-Pacific, especially South-east Asia, for further expansion. The American embrace has come at an opportune time for the
    Indians. It is working towards a Hindu Empire.


    In its blind pursuit to create enemies for China, the US is creating grave threats for itself and smaller nations of the Asia-Pacific. It is undermining the peace and stability of the region.


    The leaders of nations in Asia-Pacific should think carefully. Among the QUAD members, the US and India are far from the Pacific. If the Asia-Pacific were to become a theatre of war, both would be least affected. Much of the deaths and destruction will
    be borne by Asia-Pacific nations around East Asia.

    “Ukraine Today, Taiwan Tomorrow” is a catchy slogan which has been interpreted to the advantages of various parties according to their own interests. The Americans are using it to frighten the Taiwanese to rush for Independence and prepare its allies
    to come to the defence of the island.

    Sloganism aside, the reality is this. If the island province of China were to be fooled by the US to fight for Independence from China, the island and its people will suffer a fate much worse than what the Ukrainians are experiencing right now. That
    would not be the end. When the dust is settled, and if the American-and-allies were victorious, the Americans will turn Taiwan over to the Japs, as it had done to the Ryukyu. Under Japs rule again, the islanders will face forced assimilation, genocide,
    mass migration of Japs until the island is thoroughly Japanese. Taiwan will become extinct, no more on the world map. In its place will be another Prefecture of Japan, perhaps named “Taikyo”.



    Instead of going around the world creating troubles for China, the US should spend more effort to keep its own house in order, be a nation that others can look up to. It’s not the case now. Look at the US today. An old and senile President, over a
    million dead from the COVID-19 pandemic, high rate of violent crimes with people being shot dead almost on a daily basis, massive drug addictions among the population, massive number of homeless living out on the streets, violent racial clashes, high
    inflation...it’s an endless list.


    Will leaders of the Asia-Pacific be fooled by a senile, incapable leader like Joe Biden? Only fools will believe in such an incapable national leader who will most likely not be in power anymore come 2015.

    Mostly agree.
    But I don't think Joe Biden is as senile and incapable as many have depicted. Certainly a lot of gaffes.
    (Australian Skynews loves to show these senile moments.) Older brains are more forgetful brains.
    Older brains are often better pattern recognition and more nuanced brains. All senile brains are old brains.
    But old brains are not necessarily senile brains.

    Latest instance: https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/opinion-potomac-watch/did-joe-biden-commit-another-gaffe-over-defending-taiwan/9c902a00-df58-4529-9812-80b47dc824b8

    "Speaker 4: Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?
    President Joe Biden : Yes.
    Speaker 4: You are?
    President Joe Biden : That's the commitment we made. That's the commitment we made. We are not ...
    Look, here's the situation. We agree with the One China policy. We've signed onto it and all the attendant
    agreements made from there. But the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not
    appropriate. It'll dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.
    And so it's a burden that is even stronger."

    His answers were cogent and appropriate for the occasion.

    First, a correction: Should be 2025, not 2015.

    Now, look at the latest shooting incident in the US. Children being killed in school.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61573377

    Look at some of the school shooting incidents from the past.

    https://apnews.com/article/list-of-deadliest-us-school-shootings-f25dad31e68c8acbdbcb952352df9249

    Is this what democracy, freedom and human rights is about? Children going to school have to face the risk of being killed. What kind of a country is this? How can its leader still has the gall to go around the world preaching to others?

    With his country in such dire state, Senile Sleepy Joe would do better to stay home and fix its domestic problem instead of going around the world to form alliances against China.

    That’s the trouble with the US. Its governance has been deteriorating over the decades. Its politicians are aware of this but can’t fix it. As a diversionary tactic, they create external enemies for the US to draw Americans’ attention away from
    their nation’s internal problems.

    But I don't think Joe Biden is as senile and incapable as many have depicted. Certainly a lot of gaffes.
    (Australian Skynews loves to show these senile moments.) Older brains are more forgetful brains.
    Older brains are often better pattern recognition and more nuanced brains. All senile brains are old brains.
    But old brains are not necessarily senile brains.

    "Speaker 4: Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?
    President Joe Biden : Yes.
    Speaker 4: You are?
    President Joe Biden : That's the commitment we made. That's the commitment we made. We are not ...
    Look, here's the situation. We agree with the One China policy. We've signed onto it and all the attendant
    agreements made from there. But the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not
    appropriate. It'll dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.
    And so it's a burden that is even stronger."

    His answers were cogent and appropriate for the occasion.

    "His answers were cogent and appropriate for the occasion. " Agree. And no slur. But undiplomatic. This was followed by several walkbacks by State Dept.

    It seems there is an attempt to play down the gist of the conversation and its implications.
    Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RDVtM4VIQ4
    The full question goes like this:
    You didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons. Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?

    In Ukraine, he dares not because its Russia. In the case of Taiwan, he dares because its China. What does this imply? Might makes right!

    The US Biden Administration is using its narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war to move against China in Asia-Pacific.

    It is speeding up the alliance such as QUAD and forming new alliance such as IPEF against China.

    It is using the narrative of the war to convince Asians that there are similarities between Russia vs Europe and China vs Asia-Pacific. In the case of Taiwan, it is engaging in scare-mongering, saying that the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine will
    lead to a Chinese “invasion” of Taiwan. This is all rubbish, typical American bullshit.


    The true narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war is simply this:
    Ukraine has allowed itself to be used as a pawn by the US to move against its bigger and more powerful neighbor Russia to the extend that it is threatening the security of Russia.


    The lesson from Ukraine for the Asia-Pacific nations is simply this:
    Do not allow yourself to be used by the US as a pawn to move against China to the extend that you threaten the security of China.

    The lesson applies most appropriately to the Chinese island province of Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan should not attempt to separate from China at the behest of the US.


    By now, the whole world knows that the US is afflicted with Sinophobia much worse than it is with the COVID-19 virus. It is completely possessed by the Spirit of a Rising China. It shivers and convulses at the sight of a rising China.

    As part of its world strategy, the US has always wanted to turn the Asia-Pacific into a region of anti-China. Should Asia-Pacific nations gang up with the US to thwart the rise of China? What gain would they make out of this? It would make more sense
    for them to work with China. Despite this, the US is hell bent on forming alliances in the Asia-Pacific against China. This holds true across different US political parties and Presidents.



    While Donald Dotard Dumb Trump used trade as weapons against China, Senile Sleepy Joe Biden goes for ideology using democracy, freedom and human rights.

    Visiting the Asia-Pacific now, with his unsteady gait, sleepy look and slurring speeches, he is attempting to coax Asia-Pacific nations to make China their common enemy. Making it easy for the US is that each Asia-Pacific nation has its own national
    interest to serve. Where a nation’s interest and that of the US are mutually beneficial, that nation will align with the US against China.


    Senile and Sleepy Joe is presiding over the first Summit Meeting of QUAD, an anti-China alliance of US and its dogs, namely, Australia, Japan and India. Take a closer look at the Dogs of the QUAD.

    Australia considers itself the White bastion of Asia-Pacific. An ex-British colony which is supposedly an independent nation, it still swear allegiance to the British Monarch. It lives with the constant phobia of being invaded by the “Asian Hordes
    from the North”. For this reason, it will align itself with any Western power against China.

    After its defeat in WW2, Japan abandoned its militarist past and swore to be a nation of pacifists striving for peace. The Americans are changing all these. Obsessed with the Chinese threat, the Americans want Japan to be another nation to counter
    the rise of China. It is encouraging the Japs to remilitarise.
    The Japan are most happy to oblige. It has rewritten its Constitution to allow it to engage in wars again. It has ambition to restore the historical glory of its Imperial past. The Japanese national spirit has not changed much since WW2. It still
    salutes the same flag, retains its Imperial System, pray by the national religion of Shintoism with the belief that Japanese is a superior race of people whose Emperor is the descendant of the Sun God.
    Under American auspices, the revival of Japanese imperialism is going full steam ahead.
    The remilitarisation of Japan will threaten the two Koreas which were colonised by Japan and suffered atrocious Japanese rule before and during WW2. So too the nations of Asean.
    Japan has a hidden desire to rule over Taiwan again, just as it has done for 50 years before WW2. It has declared that it is ready to defend Taiwan against China, i.e., it is ready to attack China again, as it had done before and during WW2.


    As if these two are not bad enough, there’s still India. India is the US favorite counterweight against China. It has a huge population, is a nuclear power and has territorial dispute with China in the Himalayan region. India is that dark force
    that the US has led into the Asia-Pacific. It may be farthest away from the Pacific and has no coastline along the Ocean, yet those damned Americans have coined a term Indo-Pacific to include it into the Pacific.

    India laps it all up. Before US’s embrace, India is a poorly governed state without much to show the world except an ever increasing population. Because of its uncontrolled population growth, India has no choice but to seek territorial expansion.
    It has its eyes on its neighboring states. It has swallowed Sikkim and more recently, Jammu-Kashmir. It is looking towards the Asia-Pacific, especially South-east Asia, for further expansion. The American embrace has come at an opportune time for the
    Indians. It is working towards a Hindu Empire.


    In its blind pursuit to create enemies for China, the US is creating grave threats for itself and smaller nations of the Asia-Pacific. It is undermining the peace and stability of the region.


    The leaders of nations in Asia-Pacific should think carefully. Among the QUAD members, the US and India are far from the Pacific. If the Asia-Pacific were to become a theatre of war, both would be least affected. Much of the deaths and destruction
    will be borne by Asia-Pacific nations around East Asia.

    “Ukraine Today, Taiwan Tomorrow” is a catchy slogan which has been interpreted to the advantages of various parties according to their own interests. The Americans are using it to frighten the Taiwanese to rush for Independence and prepare its
    allies to come to the defence of the island.

    Sloganism aside, the reality is this. If the island province of China were to be fooled by the US to fight for Independence from China, the island and its people will suffer a fate much worse than what the Ukrainians are experiencing right now. That
    would not be the end. When the dust is settled, and if the American-and-allies were victorious, the Americans will turn Taiwan over to the Japs, as it had done to the Ryukyu. Under Japs rule again, the islanders will face forced assimilation, genocide,
    mass migration of Japs until the island is thoroughly Japanese. Taiwan will become extinct, no more on the world map. In its place will be another Prefecture of Japan, perhaps named “Taikyo”.



    Instead of going around the world creating troubles for China, the US should spend more effort to keep its own house in order, be a nation that others can look up to. It’s not the case now. Look at the US today. An old and senile President, over a
    million dead from the COVID-19 pandemic, high rate of violent crimes with people being shot dead almost on a daily basis, massive drug addictions among the population, massive number of homeless living out on the streets, violent racial clashes, high
    inflation...it’s an endless list.


    Will leaders of the Asia-Pacific be fooled by a senile, incapable leader like Joe Biden? Only fools will believe in such an incapable national leader who will most likely not be in power anymore come 2015.
    First, a correction: Should be 2025, not 2015.

    Now, look at the latest shooting incident in the US. Children being killed in school.

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-61573377

    Look at some of the school shooting incidents from the past.

    https://apnews.com/article/list-of-deadliest-us-school-shootings-f25dad31e68c8acbdbcb952352df9249

    Is this what democracy, freedom and human rights is about? Children going to school have to face the risk of being killed. What kind of a country is this? How can its leader still has the gall to go around the world preaching to others?

    With his country in such dire state, Senile Sleepy Joe would do better to stay home and fix its domestic problem instead of going around the world to form alliances against China.


    That’s the trouble with the US. Its governance has been deteriorating over the decades. Its politicians are aware of this but can’t fix it. As a diversionary tactic, they create external enemies for the US to draw Americans’ attention away from
    their nation’s internal problems.

    You get this right. The more the US is in trouble domestically, the more it needs a diversion.

    Ukraine is not of vitally important to the US. East Asia and Southeast Asia is a different story.
    In case you don't already know, the Taiwan Strait situation as portrayed by the Western media is
    a lot worse than the reality as if China would have attacked Taiwan yesterday. Given the occasion,
    America has to show that America can deal with China, militarily, if necessary. Else it could not
    hope to persuade more Asian countries to get on the sinking ship.

    What does this imply? Might makes right!
    Right makes right is the case since the US had drawn up the Taiwan Relation Acts claiming the
    right to insert itself into China's reunification process in whatever way it saw fit 40 years ago.

    Biden is not Trump. If the "gaff" was an act, Biden was trying to hard to play a weak hand strongly.

    How does the US decide to get militarily involved? In Ukraine, when the enemy is Russia, the US will not get militarily involved. In the case of Taiwan, when the enemy is China, it will. What is this? This is unprincipled cowardice. Those nations which
    are willing pawns of the US should take note of this. The US will only fight for its pawns if the enemy is weaker than itself.

    Trump may think China is weaker. Not Biden. Else he did not have to play the double game.
    Anyway, China would and could defend itself including Taiwan, under all circumstances
    and whatever it takes. China belongs not only to this generation of Chinese. But also
    the future generations. China, after all, is not a mean to an end. It does not matter what Joe
    Biden said or not said, did or not did.

    Those US pawns in Asia-Pacific should take note too. Those groupings initiated by the US does not guarantee protections from the US.

    The US Biden Administration is using its narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war to move against China in Asia-Pacific.

    It is speeding up the alliance such as QUAD and forming new alliance such as IPEF against China.

    It is using the narrative of the war to convince Asians that there are similarities between Russia vs Europe and China vs Asia-Pacific. In the case of Taiwan, it is engaging in scare-mongering, saying that the Russian “invasion” of Ukraine will
    lead to a Chinese “invasion” of Taiwan. This is all rubbish, typical American bullshit.


    The true narrative of the Russia-Ukraine war is simply this:
    Ukraine has allowed itself to be used as a pawn by the US to move against its bigger and more powerful neighbor Russia to the extend that it is threatening the security of Russia.


    The lesson from Ukraine for the Asia-Pacific nations is simply this:
    Do not allow yourself to be used by the US as a pawn to move against China to the extend that you threaten the security of China.

    The lesson applies most appropriately to the Chinese island province of Taiwan. Specifically, Taiwan should not attempt to separate from China at the behest of the US.


    By now, the whole world knows that the US is afflicted with Sinophobia much worse than it is with the COVID-19 virus. It is completely possessed by the Spirit of a Rising China. It shivers and convulses at the sight of a rising China.

    As part of its world strategy, the US has always wanted to turn the Asia-Pacific into a region of anti-China. Should Asia-Pacific nations gang up with the US to thwart the rise of China? What gain would they make out of this? It would make more
    sense for them to work with China. Despite this, the US is hell bent on forming alliances in the Asia-Pacific against China. This holds true across different US political parties and Presidents.



    While Donald Dotard Dumb Trump used trade as weapons against China, Senile Sleepy Joe Biden goes for ideology using democracy, freedom and human rights.

    Visiting the Asia-Pacific now, with his unsteady gait, sleepy look and slurring speeches, he is attempting to coax Asia-Pacific nations to make China their common enemy. Making it easy for the US is that each Asia-Pacific nation has its own
    national interest to serve. Where a nation’s interest and that of the US are mutually beneficial, that nation will align with the US against China.


    Senile and Sleepy Joe is presiding over the first Summit Meeting of QUAD, an anti-China alliance of US and its dogs, namely, Australia, Japan and India. Take a closer look at the Dogs of the QUAD.

    Australia considers itself the White bastion of Asia-Pacific. An ex-British colony which is supposedly an independent nation, it still swear allegiance to the British Monarch. It lives with the constant phobia of being invaded by the “Asian
    Hordes from the North”. For this reason, it will align itself with any Western power against China.

    After its defeat in WW2, Japan abandoned its militarist past and swore to be a nation of pacifists striving for peace. The Americans are changing all these. Obsessed with the Chinese threat, the Americans want Japan to be another nation to counter
    the rise of China. It is encouraging the Japs to remilitarise.
    The Japan are most happy to oblige. It has rewritten its Constitution to allow it to engage in wars again. It has ambition to restore the historical glory of its Imperial past. The Japanese national spirit has not changed much since WW2. It still
    salutes the same flag, retains its Imperial System, pray by the national religion of Shintoism with the belief that Japanese is a superior race of people whose Emperor is the descendant of the Sun God.
    Under American auspices, the revival of Japanese imperialism is going full steam ahead.
    The remilitarisation of Japan will threaten the two Koreas which were colonised by Japan and suffered atrocious Japanese rule before and during WW2. So too the nations of Asean.
    Japan has a hidden desire to rule over Taiwan again, just as it has done for 50 years before WW2. It has declared that it is ready to defend Taiwan against China, i.e., it is ready to attack China again, as it had done before and during WW2.


    As if these two are not bad enough, there’s still India. India is the US favorite counterweight against China. It has a huge population, is a nuclear power and has territorial dispute with China in the Himalayan region. India is that dark force
    that the US has led into the Asia-Pacific. It may be farthest away from the Pacific and has no coastline along the Ocean, yet those damned Americans have coined a term Indo-Pacific to include it into the Pacific.

    India laps it all up. Before US’s embrace, India is a poorly governed state without much to show the world except an ever increasing population. Because of its uncontrolled population growth, India has no choice but to seek territorial expansion.
    It has its eyes on its neighboring states. It has swallowed Sikkim and more recently, Jammu-Kashmir. It is looking towards the Asia-Pacific, especially South-east Asia, for further expansion. The American embrace has come at an opportune time for the
    Indians. It is working towards a Hindu Empire.


    In its blind pursuit to create enemies for China, the US is creating grave threats for itself and smaller nations of the Asia-Pacific. It is undermining the peace and stability of the region.


    The leaders of nations in Asia-Pacific should think carefully. Among the QUAD members, the US and India are far from the Pacific. If the Asia-Pacific were to become a theatre of war, both would be least affected. Much of the deaths and destruction
    will be borne by Asia-Pacific nations around East Asia.

    “Ukraine Today, Taiwan Tomorrow” is a catchy slogan which has been interpreted to the advantages of various parties according to their own interests. The Americans are using it to frighten the Taiwanese to rush for Independence and prepare its
    allies to come to the defence of the island.

    Sloganism aside, the reality is this. If the island province of China were to be fooled by the US to fight for Independence from China, the island and its people will suffer a fate much worse than what the Ukrainians are experiencing right now.
    That would not be the end. When the dust is settled, and if the American-and-allies were victorious, the Americans will turn Taiwan over to the Japs, as it had done to the Ryukyu. Under Japs rule again, the islanders will face forced assimilation,
    genocide, mass migration of Japs until the island is thoroughly Japanese. Taiwan will become extinct, no more on the world map. In its place will be another Prefecture of Japan, perhaps named “Taikyo”.



    Instead of going around the world creating troubles for China, the US should spend more effort to keep its own house in order, be a nation that others can look up to. It’s not the case now. Look at the US today. An old and senile President, over
    a million dead from the COVID-19 pandemic, high rate of violent crimes with people being shot dead almost on a daily basis, massive drug addictions among the population, massive number of homeless living out on the streets, violent racial clashes, high
    inflation...it’s an endless list.


    Will leaders of the Asia-Pacific be fooled by a senile, incapable leader like Joe Biden? Only fools will believe in such an incapable national leader who will most likely not be in power anymore come 2015.
    Mostly agree.
    But I don't think Joe Biden is as senile and incapable as many have depicted. Certainly a lot of gaffes.
    (Australian Skynews loves to show these senile moments.) Older brains are more forgetful brains.
    Older brains are often better pattern recognition and more nuanced brains. All senile brains are old brains.
    But old brains are not necessarily senile brains.

    Latest instance: https://www.wsj.com/podcasts/opinion-potomac-watch/did-joe-biden-commit-another-gaffe-over-defending-taiwan/9c902a00-df58-4529-9812-80b47dc824b8

    "Speaker 4: Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?
    President Joe Biden : Yes.
    Speaker 4: You are?
    President Joe Biden : That's the commitment we made. That's the commitment we made. We are not ...
    Look, here's the situation. We agree with the One China policy. We've signed onto it and all the attendant
    agreements made from there. But the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not
    appropriate. It'll dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in Ukraine.
    And so it's a burden that is even stronger."

    His answers were cogent and appropriate for the occasion.
    "His answers were cogent and appropriate for the occasion. " Agree. And no slur. But undiplomatic. This was followed by several walkbacks by State Dept.

    It seems there is an attempt to play down the gist of the conversation and its implications.
    Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RDVtM4VIQ4
    The full question goes like this:
    You didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons. Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?

    In Ukraine, he dares not because its Russia. In the case of Taiwan, he dares because its China. What does this imply? Might makes right!

    Most Western media now comment only on the second part of the question concerning Taiwan. The issue brought up by the full question is much more important.

    US design for Asia-Pacific

    US has designated China as its No. 1 Threat of the 21st Century. It believes that war will be needed to remove this threat. The Asia-Pacific will be the main theater of the US 'War With China'. That's a good choice for the US because this means that
    the war will be fought near and around the enemy's homeland and far away from the US.


    The US narrative?

    China is out to disrupt the "rule-based world order". It is ruled by an authoritarian and dictatorial regime which despises the "universal values of democracy, freedom and human rights". It is an expansionist state with ambitions on its regional
    neighbors' territories.
    While China is that evil empire out to grab everything from its regional neighbors in its "might makes right" way, the US is that Holy Angel in White descending from Heaven to prevent all these from happening.

    With this narrative, the US hopes to unite Asia-Pacific nations, big and small, against China. All nations throughout the region, from continental sized Australia to archipelagoes to tiny island nations throughout the Pacific are included. Those wooed
    and courted can only take one side. You are either with the US or you are with its enemy.

    Priority is given to nations which have territorial disputes with China. In this way, even India, which has no coastline along the Pacific, is roped in. To accommodate the Indians, its now Indo-Pacific instead of Asia-Pacific.


    The US Sino-phobia and anti-China strategy is pushing the Asia-Pacific into grave danger. But it's not from China. People of Asia-Pacific have the most to worry about the West and Japan. Both have a stinking history of colonising the region,
    especially the Japs, with their extremely atrocious rule over their colonised subjects. During the last War, Western and Japanese imperialists fought each other over the loot of Asia-Pacific. In the next War, it will be US-led West in cahoot with the
    Japs to colonise the Asia-Pacific.

    What roles will the US lead Asia-Pacific nations to play against China?

    1. India
    It’s a classic case of mutual benefits. India has a huge and out-of-control growing population. It needs to expansion its territory desperately. It is nuclear-powered and has territorial disputes with China along the Himalayan border. This makes India
    the most suitable US ally against China. If the US has to fight China in Asia-Pacific, India can be pushed to open another front in the Himalayan region, forming a pincer against China.
    Indians will be pushed to the front to be the first to get killed in battles. Indians will be deployed like mules to carry heavy loads on their heads.
    They will be deployed as armed guards in venues where “Chinese and dogs not allowed”.


    2. Taiwan
    As long as the US considers China to be its No. 1 threat, it will not want to see Taiwan reunited with China. That would make China a bigger and stronger threat, one which would be more difficult to remove.

    How to prevent China-Taiwan Reunification? Create an Independent Taiwan which in reality is dependent on the US. In this way, the US keeps Taiwan as a pawn to move against China in global politics. Whenever China makes a move in global politics which
    displeases the US, the US will make a move with Taiwan to counter China. More than that, the US can turn Independent Taiwan into a threat to China by arming the island nation with advanced weapons.

    Standing in the way of an Independent Taiwan is the bonding between the people on both sides of the strait that geographically divides them. To remove this the US is manipulating internal political force like the DPP to indoctrinate the Chinese on the
    island to forget their kinships and common ancestry with the Mainland Chinese and remember only American versions of democracy, freedom and human rights. To be able to lead nations East and West against China is a great geopolitical achievement for
    the US but its nothing like turning Taiwanese Chinese against Mainland Chinese, making them kill each other. That would be a crowning glory for US geopolitics.

    The Americans are not going to die fighting for Independent Taiwan. Their cunning strategy is to rope in other Asia-Pacific nations to fight against China-Taiwan Reunfication. Japan is most keen to join in, with its own interest in mind. For Japan, that
    would mean a chance to re-militarise itself and relive the glory of Japanese Imperialism. Taiwan would be a Japanese colony again.


    3. Japan
    The Japanese never forget their glorious days of Empire and how they were defeated bearing the infamy to this day of being the only nation and race of people to be nuked, not once but twice. They survived the war and thrived economically after that.They
    never give up hope of a national revival and Imperial Power. History has come their way again. US, the enemy that nuked them twice, now needs them.

    Japan is using this historic opportunity to remilitarise feverishly. The Japs have torn up their pacifist Constitution and tossed it to the wind. The Japanese Self-defence Force is now the Japanese Imperial Army again, not in name but in spirit. It is
    about to go on the march to foreign soil again.

    The first conquest will be Taiwan. The excuse will be to defend Taiwan against China. For 50 years until 1945, Taiwan was Japs colony. The Japs want it back. It’s as simple as that. That would be extending the tip of the Sword of Japan nearest to the
    Belly of China. It will vastly extend Japan’s maritime territory. This could extend all the way to the South China Sea in which Taiwan currently possesses the largest island. They will have American blessings all the way. The Americans would rather
    have Taiwan fall into the hands of Japan than it being reunited with China.

    The people of Asia-Pacific will suffer Japs atrocities again. One scenario.
    On a hot and sunny day, some men will be forced to dig a trench. Once that's done, along the trench that they have dug, they will be forced to go down on both knees with their heads bowed. With the Flag of the Rising Sun flattering in the wind, Japanese
    Samurai swords will swoop down on the heads of those men, chopping them off in one go, sending them flying into the trenches. The headless bodies will be kicked in to join the heads. A few of the more gruesome-looking heads will be picked to be put on
    top of empty petrol tanks or hang dangling from ropes, for display at busy road junctions, to scare the population to submit to Japs rule.

    The big difference of this future scenario from the one in the the past is that, this time, the Americans will be working closely with the Japs. They will provide the Japs with American advices and know-hows to carry out mass executions most efficiently.
    American robots chopping off heads with Japanese Samurai swords. How’s that for US-Japan Co-operation?


    Those scenarios are not going to happen without wars of deaths and destruction. China will defend itself to the utmost. National leaders of Asia-Pacific should be wary of American intentions in their region. The US has only its own national interest in
    mind. On the top of the Americans mind right now is how to remove the China threat. To this end, it doesn't give a shit about what will happen to Asia-Pacific.

    The people of Asia-Pacific will suffer Japs atrocities again. One scenario. On a hot and sunny day, some men will be forced to dig a trench. Once that's done, along the trench that they have dug, they will be forced to go down on both knees with their heads bowed. With the Flag of the Rising Sun flattering in the wind,
    Japanese Samurai swords will swoop down on the heads of those men, chopping them off in one go, sending them flying into the trenches. The headless bodies will be kicked in to join the heads. A few of the more gruesome-looking heads will be picked to be
    put on top of empty petrol tanks or hang dangling from ropes, for display at busy road junctions, to scare the population to submit to Japs rule.

    The big difference of this future scenario from the one in the the past is that, this time, the Americans will be working closely with the Japs. They will provide the Japs with American advices and know-hows to carry out mass executions most
    efficiently. American robots chopping off heads with Japanese Samurai swords. How’s that for US-Japan Co-operation?


    Those scenarios are not going to happen without wars of deaths and destruction. China will defend itself to the utmost. National leaders of Asia-Pacific should be wary of American intentions in their region. The US has only its own national interest in
    mind. On the top of the Americans mind right now is how to remove the China threat. To this end, it doesn't give a shit about what will happen to Asia-Pacific.

    Jap leader is doing his rounds among the G7 nations barking about the 'China Threat' like a well-trained American dog. Acting as a frightened dog, he is begging for G7 member nations' co-operation and military assistance. On the top of his mind is how
    to seize the opportunities in current world politics to speed up the Revival of Japanese Imperialism.

    What a strange twist of history. In the last World War, it was Western Imperialists fighting the Japanese Imperialists for the Asia-Pacific loot. Japanese Imperialism was thoroughly beaten. Now, with American approval, it is on the rise again. Now the
    Americans and the Japs are in cahoot to share a bigger loot. It's the Indo-Pacific loot. Together with the Indians, they are going to loot whatever lies within the imaginary stretch of water from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Will this be the
    final outcome, .i.e., the Indo-Pacific become the shared domain of US-Japan-India? Each has its own national interest in mind. Two of the three will be fooled by the remaining one.

    Asia is just another part of the world the US wants to lead. When there are rising powers in Asia to challenge US leadership, having the region in conflict would serve US interest very well. It's not only the rise of China but the rise of Asia that is a
    bigger nightmare for the Americans. It would be an Asian world if China, India and Japan can work together. The US strategy against the Rise of Asia is simply this:
    Don't let them come together. Make them fight each other instead.
    The Americans are the Master of Conflicts Creation. Look how they have caused the Muslim World to split up and the Muslims to fight against each other. Looks like the same is happening to Asia.

    If the big powers of Asia are dumb enough to be fooled by the Americans, instead of the Rise of Asia, there will be the Armageddon of Asia. And the Americans will emerge the sole winner out of this.
