[@badderstzi9527]

I am feeling naughty again and want to share a Malaysian KZbinr’s comment: I’m from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world’s biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus’ flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another. When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn’t take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan concurred China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire. Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world’s biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston’s institutions were built with profit from opium. After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government: 1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free. 2. Make opium legal in China. Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French (with supports from the US), started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China’s resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor. In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance (Empire of Japan, Russian Empire, British Empire (including India), France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris. In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone. Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time. But Mao’s later reign saw sufferings and deaths from famine and power struggles. Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his infamous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies. It also signified the death of Communism in actually practice in China. The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from. In just 30 years, the CPC have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world’s second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height. For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported. They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor. They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US. They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US. When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices: 1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists. 2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes. China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky. During the pandemic, When China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman. When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers. When China’s cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated. Western Media always have reasons to bash China. Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CPC is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good. Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn’t crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world. They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei’s CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven’t bought any of my cars? When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down. The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi’s was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it’s China’s turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it’s the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad. China’s achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world. I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them. China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong. Good luck China.

[@williams.1980]

I appreciate the explanation of China's investment and partnership in economic development. Obviously this does not make China an angel or anything but it does stand in contrast to being a hostile military presence. One thing that is significant to this would be the potential for opportunity and quality of life improvement for Africans. I suppose this is not something that is lost on Africa considering how China has made such impressive advances in average quality of life and opportunity compared to the west which has been the opposite. And let's be honest, the west is essentially a slave master and a colonizer in the eyes of Africa but also of China. But the US/west's business model is to control the government, the leaders which also means controlling the courts. Controlling these things also leads to controlling the rules/laws that allow for monopolization of media and social media which is a key part of controlling public sentiment and the prevailing ideologies. The accusations of debt diplomacy or whatever is a hallmark of what the US does, and btw is a hallmark of what FOX news does to the Democratic personality. The FOX model worked so good that the US State Dept. uses the exact same strategy. I'm talking about accusing its nemesis of EXACTLY what the accuser is guilty of. Actually it was probably FOX that got it from the State Dept. and CIA. Just like Rania said, this debt diplomacy is the heart and soul of American neoliberal exploitation on the state level. I can say this with confidence. I don't know what China is doing to be honest, but it is blatantly obvious that the State Dept is accusing China of EXACTLY what it itself is guilty of doing and will continue to do it if can. It doesn't just use it in the debt diplomacy case, but it uses it in making accusations about human rights abuses. The US is a world leader in human rights abuses. For instance when the US State Dept. makes human rights abuse claims against Sandam Hussein, against Bashir el Assad, Kaddafi, the list goes on and on and on. It does not need an imagination to come up with horrible accusations, it just describes what it sees when it looks in the mirror. These dictators weren't angels but the US state media is the most effective weapon in the war of public sentiment manipulation on the planet.

The most painful part of my history as an African is the pain and suffering inflicted on my people in the Congo by the western governments just because God choose to bless them with almost "everything". It pains me more than the things they have done and continue to do to my country/Ethiopia. I literally can't wait to die just to ask the good lord what that was all about. And should I see any of the people that were involved in the violent rape of Africa, I will immediately move to Hell. A lifetime spent under their tyranny is enough, I will not spend eternity in the company of such individuals.

@@dagyk3385 God gave humanity power. The power of a God made in the very image of God. This is a very simple biblical principle. All people are Gods given equal dominion and power until God comes back to take full control of this house we call a universe. This means we all have equal power to kill, or to heal. So God watched in sadness as Adam sinned. As you, yourself sin, as Cain killed able. God is watching. All the evil will inevitably be proof that God should take charge and have full power/control. All this sin will eliminate every single argument against Gods rule. And there will be no fear at God taking power. There will be only understanding and agreement. The same God watched as his own Son and many of his prophets were unjustly tortured, maimed and killed. Because we, humans have the ultimate power on this earth today. You can shout at that kid, abuse that girl next door, steal that money….. or strive to be a blessing. We are the true God’s of this earth. Whether we are good or evil. We (humanity)are responsible for everything, good and bad. Until God comes to take everything back under his control and power. The earth realm will one day be reunited to heaven and the ultimate power of heaven will purify the earth realm from all this evil.
