Why the West keeps smearing China (and why it won’t work this time) by Kishore Mahbubani *Eng/中文 subtitles • Many in the West still act like their job is to deliver the “gift” of democracy to China. Are we unable to see that there is more than one way...

Former President of the UN Security Council Kishore Mahbubani: 'The reason why the West’s arrogance at that point was a major strategic mistake was that it put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when other civilisations decided to wake up. So you closed your eyes when the rest of the world was waking up. In the case of the Chinese, Chinese civilisation has been around for 4,000 years, and the last 40 years of economic and social development in China have been the best 40 years in 4,000 years of Chinese history. And the West said, ‘Cannot be. They’re not like us. They cannot be succeeding. That’s why I think the ‘end of history’ moment was a disastrous moment for the West, because it put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when the rest was waking up.'

Kishore Mahbubani (Kishore Mahbubani): The West has, in global terms, become a lonely, narcissistic civilization, self-absorbed in itself, very happy with itself, and therefore, with this narcissism, has blinded itself to the mistakes that it has made in dealing with the rest of the world. And I want to begin the story, in some ways, with the end of the Cold War in 1990, because I’m sure you all remember how the West celebrated, how happy the West was that it defeated the Soviet Union without firing a shot, and the West thought, “Hey, we have arrived.” And you even believed—this is amazing—almost everyone in the West believed that you had reached the end of history. Hooray! We don’t have to struggle anymore. We’ve made it. We made it to the top. We’ve achieved these liberal democratic societies, which are the best societies in the world. We succeeded. We have made it. The rest of you, the rest of the world, you’re going to struggle. We don’t have to struggle. And one statistic that I’m surprised that so few in the West are aware of is that the West only makes up 12% of the world’s population. Twelve percent. Eighty-eight percent lives outside the West. And the West crazily assumed at that moment of history, when it reached the end of history, that the rest of the world would come and become replicas of the West. Copy you. Follow you. And become like you. I’m sure you’ll all agree that that’s a somewhat arrogant assumption on the part of the West. But that arrogance dominated the worldview of all the Western intellectuals at that time. I know it so well because, by an accident of history, I spent a year in Harvard in ’91–’92. And I drowned in that arrogance. I could feel how the West had arrived and succeeded, and the rest of you poor chaps, get used to it, adjust to it, move on. So, the reason why that arrogance at that point was a major strategic mistake was because that arrogance put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when the other civilizations decided to wake up. So, you close your eyes when the rest of the world was waking up. And remember, China had started its Four Modernizations program in 1979 and, by 1989–1990, was gaining a lot of momentum. And then India also woke up around the early 1990s as a result of crisis, by the way. In both cases, China went through a major crisis and said, “Okay, enough is enough. Time for us to get sensible and do the right thing.” India went through a major crisis and said, “Enough is enough. Let’s do the right thing.” And, of course, what you’ve seen since then, in the case of the Chinese, the Chinese civilization has been around for 4,000 years, and the last 40 years of economic and social development in China have been the best 40 years in 4,000 years of Chinese history. And the West said, “It cannot be. They’re not like us. They cannot be succeeding. Right?” Because you assume to succeed, you must be liberal democratic. So, that clearly, that’s why I think the end-of-history moment was a disastrous moment for the West because they put the West to sleep at precisely the moment when the rest was waking up.

🇧🇾🇨🇳 “You lost at least 20 years you could’ve used to contain China. Today, no one is capable of stopping China — especially with the philosophy that lives in the minds of the Chinese.” Lukashenko reflects on 30+ years of watching China rise and mocks the West for squandering its chance to compete. "It’s even made you nervous. You want to contain the development of China. That’s like trying to contain a whale."🐋

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.

🇷🇺 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.

Westerners still ask the same question like it’s clever: “Does the rest of the world actually want to be like China? No democracy, repressive on speech and human rights?” They’re looking at the 21st century with 19th and 20th century glasses. The assumption is that 1.4 billion Chinese must be suffering under some evil CCP. Black-and-white thinking that doesn’t fit reality anymore. China’s going to build its own system. It might not match the Western model — and that’s fine by them. When China was weak and divided, nobody was exporting human rights or democracy to them. The British forced opium on China in exchange for tea. Western powers seized territory, set up settlements, and burned the Summer Palace. It remains now unrestored as a permanent reminder of history for Chinese to never be blinded by hubris again. Now the same voices show up acting as saviors: “Don’t you want a better government? What’s wrong with you?” The condescension is unreal says Kishore. China will choose its own path. It may not be perfect in Western eyes, but it’s theirs. Unlike America, they don’t pretend their civilization is a universal model the whole world must copy. They do what works for China. You do what works for you. They’re not exporting their system to anyone. No threat. No need to feel insecure about China succeeding on its own terms. The West needs to drop the savior complex and get used to it. The 21st century isn’t yours to dictate anymore. Paraphrasing Kishore Mahbubani answering questions about China in 2020.

Interview of Victor Gao, vice president of the Beijing-based Center for China and Globalization (CCG). Q: China will lose the US market. A: We don't care. China has been here for 5,000 years, most of the time there was no US and we survived. If the US wants to bully China, we will deal with the situation without the US. And we expect to survive another 5,000 years. Here’s the truth: China has a civilization over 5,000 years old—but the CCP was only founded in 1921, born from a radical Western ideology known as Communism. The CCP is not Chinese. The CCP is not China. China will endure. The CCP must be defeated.

Chinese think tank analyst Victor Gao, in an interview with Channel 4 News, said that China is fully prepared to fight to the very end "because the world is big enough that the United States is not the totality of the market in the world." The host noted that if the US shuts itself out of the China market, China will lose 15% in trade, to which Gao responded: "We don't care. China has been here for 5,000 years. Most of the time, there was no United States, and we survived. And if the United States wants to bully China, we will deal with the situation without the United States.

Everyone is calling out Tom Cotton for being racist and ignorant in calling out the CEO of TikTok for potentially being China. But all of the arguments I've seen miss an importance underlying point. Cotton has been to Singapore and likely knew Shou Zi Chew was Singaporean. Cotton was trying to normalize having to distance oneself from China and the CPC. Given around 90% of Chinese people support the CPC in China, this is dangerous. People shouldn't have to prove they are not associating with China or the CPC. Every president of the US and the leaders of every major international company maintain close ties with business partners in China and with leaders in the CPC. We can not let Tom Cotton normalize not having good relations with China and the Communist Party of China. The fact is we need more American leaders at every level to have better relationships with China and its leadership. It's called diplomacy. #China #CottonIsAnIdiot

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: "China🇨🇳 was supposed to develop in a way that is subservient to the United States🇺🇸 (they didn't)...now they have to be punished." China is a target for one reason and one reason only: China refused to develop its economy to resemble a colony of Washington. Instead it developed its economy to staggering heights with an alternative economic system, showing the world that American capitalism is not the only model for development left in the world after the collapse of Soviet communism. Additionally, and perhaps most importantly, China refused to bend the knee to Washington’s hegemonic diktats. The US would rather go to war with China rather than allow it to surpass it economically, and any country that doesn’t obey US diktats is viewed as an enemy.

Chen Weihua: ‘People are waking up to the fact that the Western powers are the real threat to the world, NOT China🇨🇳.’ ‘US soft power is declining fast, Israel is one of the most hated countries in the world. The US global standing is declining. Just look at US allies, those leaders are visiting China. Obviously, they were coerced by the US administration. Many of them were, I would say are puppet states in a certain way. They have been manipulated by Washington for a long time against China, especially in the last few years. But now they are waking up. You have Mark Carney talking about rupture, middle power, and all these things. So the world is changing, obviously. More people are awakening, and they are awakening to the lies those Western nations told for years, repeatedly using their propaganda, smearing China and painting China as a threat to the world.

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.

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!) .

No, China Does NOT Have 5,000 Years of Civilization. China’s 5,000-Year Civilization Is a Lie: The Truth Behind the CCP’s Greatest Myth. Is China really home to 5,000 years of unbroken civilization? Or is that just a convenient political myth used by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to justify authoritarian rule? In this video, we break down the historical lie that props up modern China's regime. From the Warring States period to the Qin dynasty’s book burnings, from Mongol and Manchu occupation to the Cultural Revolution, we uncover how real Chinese civilization—based on truth, debate, and intellectual freedom—was killed and replaced by fear, obedience, and cosplay.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. Not only are Democratic Socialists of America members taking a PLEDGE to the Chinese Communist Party, but they are flown over and treated "LIKE ROYALTY" in China All of them should be forced to renounce their citizenship! SEN. JIM BANKS: "This is what they want to do to America. Turn it into communist China. And this letter by the leadership of DSA makes that very clear. They stand with socialist communist China and they want the rest of the world to take a page from China's playbook and become that."

China is not what you think it is. China was created by America. In 1971 Nixon removed the dollar from the gold standard. The dollar was now worth nothing. So he needed to create demand for it. Two new hallucinations. The petrodollar — oil only sold in US dollars. And China — the world's factory, paid in US dollars. China didn't rise because of communism. China didn't rise because of hard work. China rose because America needed somewhere to park its dollars. China is a hallucination of a hallucination. And here is the problem with that. If the original hallucination becomes unstable — China becomes twice as unstable. Because it has nothing real to stand on. That is why China and America will always need each other. The dream only works if both keep dreaming it.

Great explainer on the South China sea by legendary Singaporean diplomat and scholar Kishore Mahbubani One fact is particularly interesting, which I think no-one in the West is aware of and which Mahbubani got directly from the mouth of J. Stapleton Roy, former U.S. ambassador to China. There's this mistaken belief that Xi Jinping agreed with Obama to demilitarize the South China Sea and later reneged on that promise. Roy, who was in the meeting, explained to Mahbubani that in fact pretty much the exact opposite happened. When Obama raised the issue of the South China Sea, Xi proposed as a solution that they both agree to demilitarize the South China Sea, where neither China nor the U.S. would have military facilities in the area. Obama's response? They rebuffed China's offer and stepped up U.S. military patrols in the area.
