Speaking to 500 political parties from 600 countries around the world on Zoom, 68-year-old Chinese President Xi Jinping talked about working together for global progress, taking a veiled swiped at 78-year-old U.S. President Joe Biden who’s been trying to lead a global coalition of Western democracies, including Japan, against Chinese influence around the globe. “Together, we must oppose all acts of unilateralism in the name of multilateralism, hegemony and power politics,” Xi told the virtual gathering largely of developing countries in Asia, South America and Africa, all of whom gladly accept China’s cash-and-development. Biden has slammed China for genocide on Muslim Uyghurs in Western China, oppression of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Hong and undermining political independence to Taiwan, where China seeks complete-and-unconditional capitulation of Chinese Taipei.
Xi wasn’t happy when the U.S. hosted China Mach 18 to a get-to-know-you summit in Anchorage, Alaska, letting 58-year-old Secretary of State Anton Blinken and 44-year-old National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan humiliate Beijing for grotesque human rights abuses. “Looking from the angle of “My Country First,” the world is narrow and crowded and often full of fierce competition,” Xi said, obliquely slapping 75-year-old former President Donald Trump’s “America First” program. But Xi’s real message is about dominating the planet, stealing copyrighted technology and other patents enabling China to develop comparable technology to the West with paying for it. U.S. and other Pacific Rim countries have been worried about China’s build-out of military installations in shallow waters of the South and East China Seas. Whatever the objections from other countries, including the U.S., China goes right ahead continuing the build-out of military installations around the Pacific Rim.
Xi has some choice words and threats for Western countries thinking they could join an alliance against China. Xi said other nations infringing on China would “have their heads bashed bloody against the Great Wall of steel forged by over 1.4 million Chinese people,” pitting Beijing against anyone, especially the U.S., trying to interfere with China’s global agenda. Xi likes to talk about the West’s hegemony, but the West isn’t building military runways in the shallow atolls of the South China Sea, nor is the West cracking down on pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong, or oppressing the rights of Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang province in Western China. Xi’s recent intimidating breach of Taiwan’s territorial waters and airspace shows that Beijing has no respect for the autonomy of Taiwan, despite claiming that it holds sovereignty over the Island of Formosa.
Xi told the Chinese Communist Party and World Political Parties Summit that the international community should “adjust more quickly to the rise of China” and for Beijing to promote more “understanding, support and companionship,” said Guo Yezhou, vice minister of thee International Department. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Ut.) said China, not Russia, represents the biggest long-term threat to the United States in terms of the economy and military. Romney backs Biden’s attempt to assemble a global coalition to confront Beijing’s growing influence. Romney talked about the same thing in 2012 when he ran a failed presidential campaign as the GOP nominee against former President Barack Obama. Biden and Romney are long past the days when any major power, including the European Union, was willing to confront China’s growing influence around the planet
Whether he’s feeding the world pernicious propaganda or not, China spends a lot of money in the Third World and development world, especially in Africa and South America. None of those countries wants to hear the U.S. or EU complain about China’s growing clout. Xi learned well from the old Soviet Union that if you want to compete for the “hearts and minds” of the world community, you dig into the trenches by supplying Chinese cash and advisers to help the Third World develop their economies. When Xi speaks, the global community listens because he’s the one ponying up the cash to improve the lives of the developing world. Even the EU doesn’t want to join Biden’s new Cold War approach because of strong business ties with China. Gone are the days when aging politicians like Biden and Romney can appeal to world governments to join an anti-Beijing coalition.
China’s image has been tarnished by the Covid-19 global pandemic, fighting fiercely against mounting evidence that the deadly virus originated in a Wuhan Institute of Virology [WIV] lab. China doesn’t want the world to know that it’s responsible for over 4 million deaths worldwide, all because China violated the 1975 Biological Weapons Convention, working on “gain-of-function” research on bat coronavirus. China wants the world to think that the virus occurred naturally, jumping from a bat to an intermediate host, then to humans. All indications point to highly infectious experiments on bat coronaviruses, transforming them into the most contagious and deadly pathogen known to man. Scientists warned China about experiments on bat coronaviruses for fear of creating a new global pandemic. All evidence points to dangerous “gain-of-function” experiments causing the global pandemic.
