China Wants to Rule the World … Wait … It Already Does! By James Reed
There it is on the front page of The Australian today, the headline, “China aims to dominate the world: Antony Blinken.” This is somewhat surprising given the Hunter Biden laptop from hell revelations which indicate that old Senile prezzy, as vice, was getting some lollies from Hunter’s deals, making old man Biden something of an enemy agent in my book. But now we have soft-faced Blinken, a-blinking at China’s race to the top, as the US crashes because of his mob.
“The Chinese government’s strategic ambition has expanded so that it now aims to dominate the entire world in military and economic power, according to Antony Blinken.
In an exclusive interview with The Australian, the visiting US Secretary of State said China wanted to institute a new world order characterised by illiberalism.
In comments that dramatically underscore the now global nature of Beijing’s challenge to the US and its allies, and to the international rules-based order, Mr Blinken said: “To my mind, there’s little doubt that China’s ambition over time is to be the leading military, economic, diplomatic and political power not just in the region but in the world.”
He also said he would strongly back the US and its allies as a more formidable coalition than the emerging China/Russia alignment.
He also committed the US to working to find the fastest ways to get nuclear-propelled submarines for Australia under AUKUS. However, he did not mince words in describing Beijing’s behaviour: “What we’ve seen in recent years is China acting more repressively at home and more aggressively to the region.”
He stressed that while the US, Australia and other like-minded nations should resist this, it was important to emphasise that these nations were advocating a positive and liberal order:
“From the perspective of the US, and I think for Australia too, what we are about is not standing against China, per se, not trying to hold it down or contain it, but standing up for the rules-based order that is being challenged,” he said.
“China also wants an (international) order, but the difference is its world order would be profoundly illiberal. Ours is liberal.”
It will not make any difference, with that liberal attitude, China will eat you. Liberalism is just not tough enough to deal with them.
