Hangzhou G20: China's ambitions for global leadership - BBC News

Something we have needed to watch for a while. Have we started to late?

China always had a long-term perspective regarding world power and global influence. Chinese political leaders look at the world dynastically - 100-500 years. Thus the active expansion in Africa and South America was indeed strategic; valuing the advantages of economical, geopolitical, and military potentials in the distant future.

They're pure communist, the capitalist veneer, is just that, a veneer, created by Deng xiao Peng, to pacify the populace. They're also in a drive to maturity stage, as I perceive the matter, not a rebirth. If the Western nations hadn't vivisected China and Japan hadn't trashed the place sun yarpt sen could have easily gotten that place to be a democracy they were more than halfway there. Even though Chiang kai shek and Madame Chiang's Soongbdynasty family was corrupt, it still might have been possible, if Chiang had been supported, as I see the matter, regardless of how Gen Stillwell or Gen Marshall viewed Chiang as disparagingly as the did. Mao won with Chou en lai and Deng xiao Peng simply because Mao was just a Chinese Stalin. Stalin was evil, though sane, albeit marginally, just as Mao was. I've mentioned this book before, The Stages of Economic Growth, by Walter w rostow of the JFK cabinet, the single best noncommunist manifesto in macroeconomics I've ever read. Rostow has been totally correct as I perceive history, his book was and is a virtual masterpiece. Those are mythoughts, the whole south china sea expansion and artficial island thing stems from nearly a century of total misunderstanding of what happened there, so far as I see it, that they mimic a capitalist society is utterly incidental, that country is as communist as a country can possibly get. All countries undergo a fascist/communist phase, all, the sole question is whether it takes hold as it did in Russia, while it didn't, e.g., in France p, due to the fact that France in the communist revolution was still too agrarian and not yet sufficiently industrialized, whereas Russia was, plus, ww1 contributed markedly to the success that Lenin had, miscreant though he was, Stalin just followed in his footsteps. Germany was different, as was Japan, as was Italy, there, all three went fascist, esntly simultaneously, which was why ww2 spun out of control to the extent it did. Fascism, like communism, is nothing more than a mass social and or sociologic psychosis. North Korea is different theyre just simply wacked out space cadets, infinitely frustrated that MacArthur beat them at Inchon, when they'd been so close to taking South Korea, they, and China, hadn't reckoned on having to deal with the mind of a MacArthur, who, for all his limitations, had the level of military genius, in a good way, not a bad way, of an Alexander, the Caesars, Hannibal, Attila, Genghis Khan Charlemagne, Frederick the Great, etc. That's why North Korea is the wacked out mouse that roars. China is different, admittedly, it's far larger, plus, communism, having taken the foothold itnhas there, isn't prepared to let it go, by any means. Add to that a capitalist veneer in a drive to maturity stage, and it's no small wonder they're the threat they presently are, at least to my mind. However, as I said, to me, they're not in a rebirth, they're at their present stage of socioeconomic evolution, no different than any other country goes through as it matures. The thing with China is that, until the end of ww2, all sociologic development governmentally was totally stifled by themwar, no different to my mind than the Balkans as they developed once Yugoslavia under Tito and Stalin as well as the rest of Soviet Russia, finally fell. Those are my thoughts for whatever they're worth, I hope they were at least of interest, I'd be most eager for any further discussion, by all means. China, asnive saidmeosewherenin thensute, has a lpvery long cultural memory, and long standing cultural resentments of the Western colonialism and Japanese fascism it endured. When the UK left Hong Kong, I distinctly marked how the Chinese president shook his shoulders like a horse finally divested of its saddle and rider, as if to sa,py, "Finally." That's why the Chinese communists positively loathe Japan, just as they similarly loathe Taiwan, and, at least to me, their whole push into the South China Sea is no different than Japan's SE Asia Coproperity Sphere, or Germany seeking to create a pan Aryan state. Soviet Russia did the same as China in both Africa, as well as central America, as well as Cuba, China is doing no different now. There are always some fascist elements mixed in with communism, as I've perceived it. Once again, many thanks, hope was of interest, as I'd said, many thanks.
