Understanding China's border hegemony


As Lintner says that "the Chinese may not be interested in escalating the situation, but nor are they clearly looking for a final and permanent solution to the dispute. In reality, border disputes are how China flexes its regional hegemony and wins diplomatic leverage in wider negotiations with its various neighbours. And while tensions may flare up from time to time, the disputes are seldom actually about territory but rather an expression of power in a worldview where China sees itself as the Middle Kingdom."

Stupid China declares trade war on itself

In short, the Chinese trade war on Australia has delivered an income boom to the victim and a devastating blow to its own vastly important steel sector jeopardising CCP legitmacy, has exposed its huge commodity vulnerability to US muscle and trashed the Chinese reputation worldwide.

Whatever else may have gone strategically amiss, can’t be dissing that free wheat we received as aid. Kept substantial population from starving. We owe Dr. Norman Borlaug plenty. Not for nothing was he awarded the Padma Vibhushan and a statue of him put up at the national agricultural science complex. India also owes a little known figure, Lester Brown who foresaw a possible famine with a severe shortfall of grain in 1965 ( at an age of 31, possibly risking his career if he got it wrong) and got Lyndon Johnson to ship huge volumes of wheat (Johnson ordered that India’s food problem be treated as if the US were at war, doing whatever needed to be done). Johnson also helped India move away from price caps to a price floor(now the MSP) and it would change India forever. All this in the middle of the Vietnam quagmire.

While we have plenty to criticise Americans for on foreign policy, we would be severely amiss if we didn’t acknowledge their help in this matter.
Thanks for this very informative post. But I was making a different point. Giving PV for wheat also proves my point that Freebies become headlines and Geopolitical paradigm shifts becomes opinions on 4th page. Throw emotional words like starvation, poverty and we become subservient of the donor.

Even Chinese faced worst kind of droughts and probably got aid from western countries but they remained focused on practical outcomes of their international relationships.

I understand what you were getting at and I do not disagree. Although, I’m not sure how much help it was to Pakistan who actually ended up with swollen heads and lost half their country. Hindsight is always 20/20 but I think our early strategic choices didn’t hurt us at that point though we still today end up carrying that on our shoulder regardless of the world having changed. It has taken Modi to completely change that, with due respect to the work Vajpayee and Dr.Singh put in.

But USA's topmost powerful bunch are not the politicians though, politicians are the tools for those top bunch....Trump was probably difficult to control more than biden that's can be true.
It's not as simple and black and white as we see it. The POTUS is just a facade. The real power lies with the Bilderbergs.

Officially, the Bilderbergs do not exist. These are not just any rich and influential people, they are the richest and most powerful people on the planet. The security at their annual gatherings should give you an idea of how powerful the invitees are: air force jets fly overhead, commandoes ring the outer perimeter, and the local police are known to rough up anyone coming close to the conference venue.

This is a club of people who want to preserve Western supremacy ad infinitum. Together, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission have a degree of influence that is truly alarming. Collectively, they have the ability to bypass elected representatives.

You get the picture. As Hamlet said:

Indian right community needs to distance itself from trump and his clown supporters. We are not like this crying EVM hack every time we lose a election and have no proof to present.

This fool was praising xi and calling him great and president for life saying we love each other.



he has bank accounts and business ventures in china. He approved the phase one deal with China.


This idiot was all love for china and pushing for trade deals until he understood that the chinese played him like fiddle and covid is going to cost him a second term.

every single lawsuit filed by trump and his team has been thrown out of the courts with SCOTUS throwing out an other lawsuit today itself. He has not provided any proper proof at all but keeps asking for fees to fight. I have been keeping an eye on all these court proceedings and none of them have any proper evidence rather they are trying to directly throw out votes and then you have these twitter accounts talking about servers in germany and kraken russian drone shit with the most recent one being trump is a time traveler.

Trump is a business man he will take his money and be off republicans like chumps with be waiting for his 9D chess move while he swindles them and runs away. republicans need to get their shit together and contest for 2024 now and we need to start preparing using our own industrial base and weapons for what is going to come.

"India Right Community" doesn't matter, Modiji, MEA etc have all made it clear that they are "okay" with Biden and have no problems.

It's like in the same way "India Right Community" bitching about a befitting reply not being given to dog eaters post Galwan, or a solid lesson not being taught to the dolphin fuckers next door even after numerous CFVs, it doesn't really matter because "Indian Right Community" has no power of any kind, and no, rand-rona on forums and twatter is not power.

Those who have power have made it abundantly clear that they don't want to be associated with Trump any longer and are willing to "work" with the New Order on various issues.

Now whether this returned New Order reciprocates or continues their regime change G*ndmasti towards Modi is to be seen.

It is most rational to not hedge all you bets on one candidate or a single party of a phoren country for India, and all other countries having relationships with US, all countries try to keep both sides of the American political system buttered for their interests.

Demoncrats and Republicucks have come and gone for the past 40 years, and not one regime has made a dent in China's rise, rather facilitated it further, except Dondal Trump, who is a "unique" specimen in his party.

This is a completely wrong interpretation of CCP actions, often given by "China experts" who are either on the payroll of CCP or get their information from such entities. This opinion piece originally appeared in Asia Times, another mouthpiece of CCP.

The reason for such paid articles is to convince others: Don't worry, China is not interested in your territory, but just more leverage in wider negotiations and it's just the Middle Kingdom's way of "expressing its power." Tell that to Tibet.

The reality is that Chinese Communist Party leadership are a bunch of greedy thugs/criminals without any sense of morality who will steal as much land and other resources as possible, whenever given a chance. It is how China has increased to its current size: By invading other countries and grabbing territory at every turn. The whole "Middle Kingdom's expression of power for future negotiations" explanation is another excuse given by CCP to justify its theft in order to fool the victims that there is still a chance for peaceful negotiations to recover the territory. History would disagree.

The NY times article that this quotes is just another liberal hit job on Trump; and even it does not show any evidence of a crime. It's simply a fact of life that if you become the US President, other countries will try to push deals with your family business.

Whether you like him or not (and I don't), the fact remains that Trump was the first one to do anything against Chinese government-sponsored business as usual economic takeover always greenlighted by Democrats and Republicans alike.

Do I think Trump is corrupt? Of course he is, but he is also the only one who did anything against China in the last 2 decades. All your whitewashed Democrats and Republicans have already sold out to CCP a long time ago, and that includes Biden and Obama. It is ironic that a crook like Trump is less of a sellout than all these career politicians.

Now Trump is on his way out in a month, so the question is, why all these Trump hitjobs in the CCP-controlled/influenced mainstream media?

The real reason is to divert attention away from Biden's business dealings with Chinese Communist government associated businesses, and the fact that Biden is a crooked politician, completely owned by the CCP. It's a diversion from the fact that Biden is appointing all pro-CCP/CCP-owned people in his cabinet who will sell US out to Communist China piece by piece.
