China’s message is basically: If you can compete, compete. Stop whining. The West spent decades enjoying globalization while hollowing out its own manufacturing base and calling it efficiency. Now that Chinese products are more competitive, suddenly we hear: “China shock.” “China squeeze.” “Overcapacity.” “Unfair competition.” Translation: We were allowed... to deindustrialize ourselves. China is not allowed to industrialize successfully. And the hypocrisy goes far beyond China. China does not only export finished goods. It exports machinery, components, power equipment, solar panels, batteries, industrial systems and the tools that allow poorer countries to build factories in the first place. For much of the Global South, industrialization is not an academic debate. It begins with one brutally practical question: Can we afford the machines? Chinese manufacturing lowered that threshold. So when Western governments demand that China “make room” by weakening its own industries, they are not merely trying to protect Western companies. They are also trying to make industrialization more expensive for countries that are still trying to escape poverty. If Europe and America want stronger industries, build them. Compete. Invest. Innovate. You do not get to ask the world to stop moving forward just to protect Western corporate giant babies that spent decades growing fat on cheap labor, cheap resources, and the underdevelopment of poorer countries. The world does not owe your complacency a subsidy. And development is not something the West gets to ration.show more

The EU has mastered one trick: When it wins, it calls it free trade. When China wins, it calls it overdependence. For decades, European cars, appliances, luxury goods, chemicals, machinery, and high-end consumer products entered the Chinese market. China did not cry that Europe was “distorting” its market or creating “dependency.” China competed. China learned. China upgraded. But the moment Chinese industries became competitive, Europe suddenly discovered “strategic risk.” Solar panels? Europe blocked and punished Chinese solar for years with tariffs and trade barriers. Did that revive Europe’s own solar industry? No. It only made Europe’s energy transition more expensive until it eventually had to reopen the door. Huawei and ZTE? Europe followed Washington’s pressure campaign, ripped out Chinese telecom infrastructure it had already deployed, spent more money, delayed its own networks, and called that “security.” Energy? Europe chose geopolitical obedience, cut itself off from cheap Russian energy, raised its own industrial costs, became more dependent on the U.S., and then watched its companies move across the Atlantic under American subsidies and tariffs. But somehow the problem is still China. Please. Europe’s crisis was not created by Chinese overcapacity. It was created by European complacency, American dependency, ideological industrial policy, expensive energy, and decades of mistaking moral lectures for competitiveness. Now Chinese industries are faster, cheaper, more integrated, and more efficient — from EVs to batteries, solar, electronics, ports, logistics, and manufacturing ecosystems. So Europe invents new language: “Diversification.” “De-risking.” “Overdependence.” “Fair competition.” But strip away the diplomatic costume, and it is just protectionism with Brussels paperwork. China did not force Europe to deindustrialize itself. Europe made its choices. It followed Washington. It sanctioned its own energy base. It taxed its own consumers. It slowed its own innovation. It lectured China while China built. And now it wants China to pay for Europe’s failure to compete. No. China-EU trade is not a charity program for declining European industries. If Europe wants competitiveness, it should build it. Not rename protectionism as “diversification” and expect China to applaud.

China is trying to export its way through a domestic balance sheet problem. Europe is trying to stop its industrial base from being hollowed out. Both are acting out of necessity. Not strategy. That is the trade war. China built too much industrial capacity. The world never grew the way it expected. Now it is left with factories that produce far more than anyone can absorb. From Beijing's perspective this is not a mistake. It is a national development strategy. Dominate the industries of the future. Hold on to the industries of the past. From Europe's perspective it is an existential threat. Chinese producers get subsidies, state backed banking, and sell at prices European companies cannot match. The result is not lower consumer prices. The result is industrial destruction. Europe already watched this happen in solar panels. And China has no choice but to keep going. If exports slow, factories idle, profits fall, employment suffers, banks break. Exports are the only release valve left. China's solution is Europe's problem. Neither can afford to blink.

Ursula von der Leyen said she would explicitly raise the issue of “the massive influx of surplus Chinese products into Europe.” Meanwhile, Chinese air conditioners are seeing a frenzy of demand in the European market, with demand far exceeding supply. China’s response was simple: trade is voluntary exchange, and consumers are capable of making their own judgments. Europe should abandon its zero-sum mentality. At this point, Europe’s decline is not a mystery. It cut off cheap Russian energy in the name of ideology. It weakened its own energy autonomy. It watched Biden’s subsidies pull industry toward America. It got hit by Trump’s tariff war. It lived off old industrial prestige for decades while refusing to update, compete, or scale. And now it turns around and barks at China: Why are you producing so many affordable, high-quality goods? Why are Europeans buying them? Why are Chinese companies making money? Nobody forced European consumers to buy Chinese air conditioners, fans, EVs, solar panels, batteries, appliances, or electronics. They bought them because the goods are useful, affordable, and competitive. That is called a market. If Europe wants to win, it can produce better products at better prices and sell them to China. Europe tried before. Did China scream about European car overcapacity? Did China call Nokia’s dominance in China’s telecom market an existential threat? Did China consider Siemens a market monopoly? Did China accuse every successful Western brand of “flooding” the market? No. Because China competed. Europe does not want competition anymore. It wants moral protection for industrial failure. China did not force Europe to become expensive, slow, dependent, and complacent. Europe did that to itself. Now Chinese factories are making what Europeans need, and Brussels calls that a crisis. But China’s production capacity is not Europe’s problem. Europe’s problem is that it can no longer build what its own people need at prices they can afford.

China's construction machinery exports exceeded US$16 billion in the first quarter of this year. The main export destinations included Africa, Europe and North America. Western media loves calling China’s manufacturing strength “overcapacity.” But notice what they call overcapacity: construction machinery, electric forklifts, excavators, agricultural equipment, solar panels, EVs, ships, bridges, ports, things that build, feed, move, and electrify the world. Funny. They never scream “overcapacity” when the U.S. military-industrial complex floods the planet with missiles, bombs, fighter jets, drones, and artillery shells. So the question is not whether China produces too much. The question is: Why is cheap machinery that helps farmers, builders, miners, ports, and developing countries considered a “threat,” while endless weapons production is treated as “security”? China exports machines that build roads, harvest food, move cargo, and improve lives. The West exports weapons that need wars to justify their production lines. That is the real difference. China’s “overcapacity” builds the world. America’s overcapacity buries it.

🇷🇺 Alexander Babakov Dismantles the Club of Rome’s Dogma of Scarcity World Resources Are Limitless. We Can Feed Everyone. We Can Clothe Everyone. We Can Create Favorable Conditions For All Alexander Babakov: What does the well-known Club of Rome tell us? There is a shortage of resources, there is a shortage of food, the population is too big, etc., and these are the principles that they built their forecasts on. And these forecasts are not true to life. What does Chairman Xi say? What does our president say? World resources are limitless. We can feed everyone, we can clothe everyone, we can create favorable conditions for all. What do we need? We need goal setting. And Chinese goal setting is not generating profit or making more money today than yesterday. No—the goal is to create the right environment for human development, for collective development, for the country as a whole. It is the upside potential that guarantees achieving the highest dreamed-for goals, and it relates to everything, including technological solutions. You’ve seen mind-blowing technological solutions that are aimed at improving the quality of life of the Chinese people. But it is not only that—China can export that. But the key thing is that China started with finance. China created an independent system from those conditions that were set by the West for other countries. For China, or even for Russia of the 1990s, the West was writing rules under which countries could develop only by relying on the amount of money that the metropolis left for that country. Well, you will have as much money as how much oil you have sold. This is how it was in ancient times, when there were real colonies, and the same thing is happening in the modern world. China closed this down and said: in terms of money to develop China, we have sufficient money for our projects. The money mass in the Chinese economy is higher than that of the United States, Europe, and Japan taken together. And China made numerous elements of the economy move together. They armed their people with resources to push development forward. And China does not have any tasks that are not achievable. For any country, there are certain constraints. There are constraints that can be described as the number of projects that can be implemented. This freedom of decision-making and setting a new goal—the quality of life—is something that the West has not yet understood, and it will have to accept that China will lead the world, and then other countries will follow China: Pakistan, which has the same mindset; India thinks the same; now Russia has its own vision. And our principal goal today is not profit-making, not increasing GDP, but a positive resolution of demographic problems—not only maintaining the population, but increasing the population. And it is not a quantitative but a qualitative goal.

President Trump is PITCH PERFECT on trade relations with China. Notice he is open to lowering tariffs, but only IF China opens up its markets to America: "China has a tremendous trade surplus with us, and we just can't have that ... I would like to see China opened ... You can't compete when you're not allowed to go there. China is the number one example of that. They are very closed."

In a speech commemorating former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, Xi said: “In the late spring and early summer of 1989, a severe political disturbance took place in China.” The funniest myth is that “Tiananmen Square in 1989” is somehow “unspeakable” in China. It is spoken about. What Western anti-China discourse cannot tolerate is that China discusses its own history without adopting the political script the West wrote for it. If Beijing uses its own historical framing, that is called “censorship.” If Western institutions impose theirs, that is called “history.” There’s the trick. They do not demand that China remember 1989. They demand that China remember it in a way useful to them. China’s refusal to surrender narrative sovereignty is then repackaged as proof that the subject is “taboo.” The event is not the real taboo. China refusing to narrate itself through Western political needs is.

Beijing rejects the West’s new “tribute system” lie. China stood at the height of world civilization for most of its long history. Yet it did not bomb half the world like the United States, a country with only 250 years of history and only 17 years without war. It did not colonize the entire Earth like the British Empire. China became the center of an Asian civilizational order — not a global machine of plunder. That is what the West still cannot understand. They look at China through their own jungle logic: If you are strong, you must dominate. If you rise, you must conquer. If others trade with you, they must be your “tribute system.” But no. Chinese civilization has always despised bullying the weak, worshiping power, and kneeling to foreigners. That is why Chinese people instinctively look down on self-colonized traitors, reverse nationalists, and postwar Japan — people who sold their spine and called the leash civilization. China’s moral line is very clear: What is ours, we will not give up an inch. What is not ours, we do not covet. That is why China defeated India and Vietnam, but did not occupy an extra inch beyond its own claims. Unlike Israel. Unlike Japan. Unlike America. Ask ordinary Chinese people whether China should invade another country, and 99% would reject it. Ask them whether China should defend itself from humiliation, invasion, and national collapse again, and 100% would rather pay the price. The West cannot imagine a powerful China that does not behave like the West. They look at China and see themselves. They fail to understand that China is a civilization masquerading as a nation. A civilization does not need to conquer or tame others. It commands its own gravity.

Inflation Is About to Get Much Worse Globally— and China Is the Main Culprit. For decades, the world enjoyed cheap goods, low inflation, and falling manufacturing costs, and Western elites gave central banks the credit. But the real force suppressing inflation was China. Cheap Chinese labor, cheap Chinese goods, and globalization helped hide the true cost of government deficits, aging societies, broken housing markets, and fragile supply chains. Now that era is ending. China is aging, weaponizing supply chains, and pushing the world toward tariffs, reshoring, defense spending, and inflationary fragmentation. In this video, I explain why inflation may not return to the old 2% world and why China’s decline is making everything more expensive.

All nations that imported cheap labor and exported manufacturing industries have now fallen into decline! Meanwhile, China—once a manufacturing nation—has been rapidly copying，stealing and catching up with the advanced design capabilities of Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea, now China is seeking global product monopolies. This is precisely why the U. S. has begun recognizing its existential crisis: if communist China is not treated as a rival, even an adversary, it will one day destroy America. Yes, their goal is to destroy America and wipe out Western world！ Unfortunately, the political arenas of Europe, Canada, and Australia remain dominated by Democratic Progressive Party figures who continue to embrace economic globalization. They still fail to recognize that their nations have already reached a point where they must constantly curry favor with China just to survive (look at what French and Canadian leaders did recently). Were it not for the U.S., China would be thriving even more today, while Western nations would be in even steeper decline. For us, the people of Western nations, is this ultimately a blessing or a curse? Will Westerners eventually have to beg communist China for mercy in the future？

Blinken finally said the quiet part out loud: The United States cannot defeat China alone. So his solution is not to outbuild, outproduce, or outcompete China. It is to assemble Europe, Japan, South Korea, India, Canada, and Australia into a larger anti-China bloc—then disguise containment as “alliance coordination.” That is the entire strategy: America alone is no longer strong enough, so Washington wants to weaponize everyone else’s anxieties. But here is the darkest joke. While Blinken dreams of mobilizing the world against China, global opinion is moving in the opposite direction. Pew polling now shows China viewed more positively than the United States across many countries. Even in Europe—America’s traditional alliance base—China’s favorability has risen above America’s. So Washington has a structural problem: It wants to lead an anti-China coalition at the exact moment more of the world trusts China than the country demanding that coalition. Blinken calls this “working with friends.” China calls it what it is: An empire that can no longer win alone asking its clients to supply the missing weight. America’s alliances were supposed to prove its leadership. Now they increasingly reveal its dependence. China is competing with the United States. The United States is recruiting the world to compensate for the fact that it cannot compete with China by itself. Yet the funniest meltdown did not come from American rednecks. It came from overseas Chinese opportunists who built their entire identity around hating China. Blinken merely admitted that America cannot defeat China alone, and they immediately accused him of being “brainwashed” and spreading “Chinese propaganda.” Their problem is not China. Their problem is that China’s rise has destroyed the psychological mechanism they depend on for survival: the belief that America must always stand above China—because without that hierarchy, their entire borrowed identity collapses.

“I think the world must realize that China will not converge with Western norms, and it will find its own path to modernity,” Singaporean Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in a recent interview with the Financial Times, noting that China is a technological leader in many areas, in advanced manufacturing, in renewable energy, and the world has to contend with and accept the reality that China is not just a rising power, it is a risen power. China recently decided to forgo its special and differential treatment provisions in the WTO. In just this past year or so, it has doubled down on its support for global institutions. These are examples of how we have to embrace the reality that China will be a key player, and potentially a key leader, in this new global system, said Wong.

🚨 CHINA BUILDS WHILE AMERICA BURNS BILLIONS 🚨 Marco Rubio says America does not want to contain China, but China should not rise at America’s expense. However, who is actually draining America? While China builds infrastructure, expands manufacturing, and signs business deals across the world, Washington is spending $1 billion a day on war in Iran and maintaining hundreds of military bases across the globe. That money is not being spent for the American people. It is being burned in West Asia to weaken Iran, control the Strait of Hormuz, and secure Israel’s dream of becoming the dominant empire of the region. American taxpayers are being sucked dry while China invests in its future. So maybe the problem is not that China is rising. Maybe the problem is that the United States chose empire over its own people.

China urges US, EU to stop lies and meddling in China's internal affairs by hyping up ethnic issues The West always looks at China’s ethnic policy through the mirror of its own crimes. They committed genocide against indigenous peoples. They built settler states on mass graves. They erased languages, cultures, tribes, and entire civilizations. So they assume China must be doing the same. But China is not the West. China is a multi-ethnic civilization-state where ethnic minorities are not colonial subjects, not museum props, and not disposable populations. They are Chinese citizens, part of the same national community. That is why most Chinese ethnic minorities abroad introduce themselves simply as Chinese — not because their identity was erased, but because the national identity is real. And the panic over “extraterritorial application” is comedy. Chinese citizens abroad are still Chinese citizens. They receive Chinese consular protection. They carry Chinese passports. They are naturally subject to Chinese law where applicable. That is not “long-arm jurisdiction.” Long-arm jurisdiction is Washington hunting foreign citizens across the world, sanctioning companies in third countries, freezing assets, kidnapping executives, and pretending U.S. domestic law is international law. The U.S. and EU are not worried about human rights. They are worried that China refuses to let them weaponize ethnicity, separatism, and identity politics as tools of internal sabotage. They are not defending minorities. They are trying to manufacture another pressure point. China has seen this script before. Different costume. Same empire.

China urges US, EU to stop lies and meddling in China's internal affairs by hyping up ethnic issues The West always looks at China’s ethnic policy through the mirror of its own crimes. They committed genocide against indigenous peoples. They built settler states on mass graves. They erased languages, cultures, tribes, and entire civilizations. So they assume China must be doing the same. But China is not the West. China is a multi-ethnic civilization-state where ethnic minorities are not colonial subjects, not museum props, and not disposable populations. They are Chinese citizens, part of the same national community.

VERY interesting 👀 Trump once again calls out NATO for not willing to help with the Strait of Hormuz. Then Trump calls on Japan and CHINA to help out, since they are the ones who use it most. If Trump can get China to help, that would be COLOSSAL! The optics would be perfect. If China helps, that would solidify that this operation with Iran had global support, even from our perceived geopolitical adversaries, like China. It would confirm that the Iranian regime was a threat to the world, and Trump was right to destroy them. It also opens the door to normalized relations with China, and proves that NATO are not actually the allies they pretend to be. It adds validity to my hypothesis that we are witnessing a shift in the global order and alliances. If China helps the US and NATO doesn’t, the entire geopolitical landscape will be turned on its head. I think this operation in Iran is about much more than just destroying the savage Iranian regime. I think we are witnessing something much bigger. I think we are witnessing a shift in the global power structure.

"The United States depends on China for 95% of the key components that are necessary to make our generic drugs. And if China shut the door on exports, within months our healthcare system would begin to collapse. That's how dependent we are, and it's not just us. The world is dependent, Europe is dependent, because China has a chokehold on those upstream raw materials and chemicals needed to make these active ingredients, which makes medicine, and that turns into the pills and vials that we have and take." - Rosemary Gibson, author of “China Rx”

Mearsheimer is honest about power. He dares to say the quiet part of Western politics out loud: international relations are not a fairy tale of “good guys” and “bad guys”, but a naked struggle for survival, security, and dominance. That is why, to him, there is no moral distinction between America and China. But he still misunderstands China. His offensive realism has one fixed Western code: • A great power must seek regional hegemony. • A great power must push others into dependence. • A great power must turn its neighborhood into a Monroe Doctrine. So when he sees China rise, he assumes China must want to become America in Asia. That is where he gets China wrong. America’s strategy is exclusion. It cannot tolerate another strong power in its own hemisphere. That is why Cuba, Venezuela, and any independent force in Latin America become permanent targets. China’s strategy is not a Chinese Monroe Doctrine. China’s priority is stability around itself, because China’s own development requires peace, trade, logistics, markets, energy routes, and regional order. But stability does not mean turning neighbors into colonies. It does not mean hundreds of military bases. It does not mean color revolutions, proxy wars, sanctions, coups, and permanent ideological containment. China spent forty years building roads, ports, factories, power grids, railways, supply chains, and markets. America exported war. China exported infrastructure. America’s model is control. China’s model is connectivity. That is why Western realists often misread China. They assume interest maximization must mean domination. They assume security must mean exclusion. They assume strength must become hegemony. But China’s civilizational instinct is different. China does not need every country to become Chinese. It does not need every neighbor to become a satellite. It does not need to export ideology, stage revolutions, or install puppet regimes. China’s highest security is not ruling everyone around it. It is building a region where trade, development, and interdependence make war too expensive and chaos too stupid. Mearsheimer is right that great powers compete. But he is wrong to assume every great power dreams in American grammar. China does not want to become America in Asia. China wants Asia to stop being America’s battlefield.

🇨🇳🇺🇸 TREASURY SECRETARY BESSENT: “THIS IS CHINA VERSUS THE WORLD - NOT JUST A U.S.-CHINA PROBLEM” “We have things that are more powerful than the rarer export controls that the Chinese want to put on. And to be clear, this is China versus the world. It's not a U.S.-China problem. Good news is that this is IMF week. A lot of my counterparts, or all my counterparts, are here. We're going to be speaking with our European allies, with Australia, with Canada, with India, and the Asian democracies. And we're going to have a fulsome group response to this because bureaucrats in China cannot manage the supply chain or the manufacturing process for the rest of the world. We don't want to damage their economy. We don't believe that they want to damage ours." Source: Rapid Response 47

LANDMARK US-UK RESEARCH SAYS CHINA IS NOT TRYING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD Top scholars in the US and the UK just published a landmark discovery: China is NOT trying to take over the world. In perhaps the most important geopolitics paper I've seen this year, the journal of International Security features a paper in which extensive research examined data from 12,000 Chinese articles and speeches and came to an astonishing conclusion: China has NO plan to replace the US as self-appointed leader of the world. It also has NO plan to force anyone else to copy its system of governance, unlike the west. This is terrible news for Apple Daily’s Mark Clifford (a Gordon Chang clone) – who wrote a whole book saying that China was actively working to remodel the whole world in its image. (China doesn't even insist on its model of governance in its country -- the place is full of special economic zones experimenting with other ways of governances.) . NOT A MILITARY THREAT Also important: the newly published International security paper says that China is NOT a military threat. “China does not pose the type of military threat that the conventional wisdom claims it does," the researchers say. "Thus, a hostile U.S. military posture in the Pacific is unwise and may unnecessarily create tensions.” . CHINA LOOKS INWARD In fact, this paper says almost exactly what this commentator and many others have been saying, literally, for years, in almost the same words. China does NOT have the western insistence on ruling the world – instead, it wants to maintain its borders and have positive relationships with other countries. “China's aims are unambiguous, enduring, and limited: It cares about its borders, sovereignty, and foreign economic relations,” the paper says. . COLBY IS WRONG China’s legal land area includes Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, and Xinjiang, and it just wants to keep them. That’s all. The article quotes Elbridge Colby, now Deputy Secretary of Defense, envisioning China subjugating Taiwan and then picking out further targets to take over, including the Philippines and Vietnam. That is simply wrong, the researchers say. China has never made the slightest indication that it wants to take control of other countries. (And of course some newspapers reported that China wants to invade Australia!) . NOT PROPAGANDA This very lengthy paper in the journal of International Security is not, I repeat NOT, some sort of “pro-China propaganda”. The article is written by two US-based political scientists and one UK-based academic. The writers are in fact rather harsh about China, and recycle the endless trope implying that China is the world capital of human rights abuses (which it clearly isn't), and says that China is doing terrible things in the South China Sea – which is also not true. The writers do seem to have sucked up lots of the anti-China propaganda themselves. So that makes their work, which shows clearly that China is NOT a threat to the world, more valuable. I will provide the link for those who want to read further.
