thegreanvillepostbiasrating--2020-07-30--Neither Trump Nor Biden Really Matter to China or Russia

In turn , trying to out-hawk the Republican incumbent , the Biden campaign paints Trump as being “ soft ” on China and having been “ played ” by Chinese counterparts over trade , the corona pandemic and allegations about human rights .
Biden , the former vice president in the previous Obama administrations , has vowed to impose more sanctions on China over allegations of rights violations .
He claims to be the one who will “ stand up ” to Beijing if he is elected to the White House in three months ’ time .
Last week , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Kremlin and others [ China ] ” that if elected to the presidency he would impose “ substantial and lasting costs ” on those who allegedly interfere in U.S. politics .
That ’ s war talk based on worthless intel propaganda .
Trump meanwhile asserts that no-one is tougher than him when it comes to dealing with China ( and Russia for that matter ) .
As China tensions rise , Trump and Biden spar for ‘ tough guy ’ mantle BUT BOTH MOSCOW AND BEIJING KNOW HOW TO READ HISTORY @ @ @ @ @ @ @ policy of ramping up hostility towards China in recent months , that begs the question : how could a future Biden administration begin to be even more aggressive – short of going to war ?
Relations between Washington and Beijing have plummeted to their worst levels since the historic detente initiated by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s .
The precipitous downward spiral has occurred under President Trump ’ s watch .
So , how exactly could a prospective President Biden make the relationship more adversarial ?
The truth is both Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partisan criticism about their respective dealings with China .
The belated high-handed approach that both are trying to project is pockmarked with risible hypocrisy .
The Trump campaign scores a valid point when it recalls how former Vice President Biden smooched and feted Chinese leaders with economic opportunities in the American economy .
Likewise , Trump stands accused of lavishing praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping while ignoring the impending coronavirus pandemic because Trump ’ s top priority was getting a trade deal with China .
The fact that both American politicians have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nasty terms must leave the authorities in Beijing with a deep sense of distrust in either of the would-be presidents .
Biden at one time waxed lyrical about his close relationship with Xi , but as his bid for the presidency heated up , Biden stuck the proverbial knife in the Chinese leader calling him a “ thug ” .
For his part , Trump previously referred to Xi as a “ dear friend ” while dining him with “ beautiful chocolate cake ” at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida , but his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as “ authoritarian ” .
Trump ’ s racist slurs over the pandemic being “ Kung Flu ” and “ Chinese plague ” must give President Xi pause for disgust with the falseness .
At the end of day , can either of these presidential candidates be trusted to pursue principled U.S.-China relations going forward ?
The toxic anti-China campaigning by both indicates a level of puerile treachery which foreshadows no possible return to any kind of normalcy .
One distinction perhaps between Trump and Biden is the latter is promisingto repair relations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front against China .
To that end , a hawkish confrontational policy under Biden may have more impact on U.S.-China relations than under Trump .
Trump has managed to alienate European allies with his broadsides over trade tariffs and NATO spending commitments .
Although Trump ’ s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has recently urged “ an alliance of democracies ” to confront China , that rallying call is likely to fall on deaf ears with European allies irked by Trump ’ s brash style .
Biden on the other hand could bring @ @ @ @ @ @ @ towards Beijing ( and Moscow ) by affecting a more appeasing attitude towards Europe .
In that way , Biden would be more preferred by the Pentagon and foreign policy establishment than Trump , just as Hillary Clinton was in 2016 .
However , it is doubtful that Beijing is paying too much attention to what either candidate is saying or posturing at .
If both of them can flip so much from talking softly to shouting loud anti-China profanities then their individual characters may be deemed malleable and unscrupulous .
Both have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bashing for electioneering gain .
Trump pulled that trick last time out in 2016 when he railed against China for “ raping America ” only for him to discover “ deep friendship ” with Xi following that election .
Now he has reverted to hostility out of self-serving calculation to whip up anti-China sentiment among voters .
And Biden is apt to do the very same .
Forget about such fickle personalities when it comes to reading U.S. policy towards China .
Beijing will be looking at the longer trajectory of how U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with the “ Pivot to Asia ” under the Obama-Biden administration in 2011 .
Indicating how Deep State continuity transcends Democrat or Republican occupants of the White House , the next major indicator was in the Pentagon planning documents of 2017 and 2018 under Trump which labelled China and Russia as “ great power rivals ” .
The American “ ship of state ” , it may be concluded , is therefore set on a collision course with both Beijing and Moscow in terms of ramping up a confrontational agenda .
Who sits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ For Trump and Biden to trade barbs about which one is “ softer ” on China or Russia is irrelevant in the bigger picture of U.S. imperialist ambitions for global dominance .
The logic of a waning American empire and the concomitant inherent belligerence to compensate for the perceived loss of U.S. global power are the issues to follow , not whether Trump or Biden clinch the dog-and-pony race to the White House .

BUT BOTH MOSCOW AND BEIJING KNOW HOW TO READ HISTORY
Given the Trump administration’s reckless policy of ramping up hostility towards China in recent months, that begs the question: how could a future Biden administration begin to be even more aggressive – short of going to war?
Relations between Washington and Beijing have plummeted to their worst levels since the historic detente initiated by President Richard Nixon in the early 1970s. The precipitous downward spiral has occurred under President Trump’s watch. So, how exactly could a prospective President Biden make the relationship more adversarial?
The truth is both Trump and Biden are equally vulnerable to domestic partisan criticism about their respective dealings with China. The belated high-handed approach that both are trying to project is pockmarked with risible hypocrisy.
The Trump campaign scores a valid point when it recalls how former Vice President Biden smooched and feted Chinese leaders with economic opportunities in the American economy.
Likewise, Trump stands accused of lavishing praise on Chinese President Xi Jinping while ignoring the impending coronavirus pandemic because Trump’s top priority was getting a trade deal with China.
The fact that both American politicians have U-turned with regard to China in such nasty terms must leave the authorities in Beijing with a deep sense of distrust in either of the would-be presidents.
Biden at one time waxed lyrical about his close relationship with Xi, but as his bid for the presidency heated up, Biden stuck the proverbial knife in the Chinese leader calling him a “thug”.
For his part, Trump previously referred to Xi as a “dear friend” while dining him with “beautiful chocolate cake” at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, but his administration has since slammed the Chinese leader as “authoritarian”. Trump’s racist slurs over the pandemic being “Kung Flu” and “Chinese plague” must give President Xi pause for disgust with the falseness.
At the end of day, can either of these presidential candidates be trusted to pursue principled U.S.-China relations going forward? The toxic anti-China campaigning by both indicates a level of puerile treachery which foreshadows no possible return to any kind of normalcy.
One distinction perhaps between Trump and Biden is the latter is promisingto repair relations with Western allies to form a united front against China. To that end, a hawkish confrontational policy under Biden may have more impact on U.S.-China relations than under Trump. Trump has managed to alienate European allies with his broadsides over trade tariffs and NATO spending commitments. Although Trump’s Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has recently urged “an alliance of democracies” to confront China, that rallying call is likely to fall on deaf ears with European allies irked by Trump’s brash style. Biden on the other hand could bring a more unified Western policy of hostility towards Beijing (and Moscow) by affecting a more appeasing attitude towards Europe. In that way, Biden would be more preferred by the Pentagon and foreign policy establishment than Trump, just as Hillary Clinton was in 2016.
However, it is doubtful that Beijing is paying too much attention to what either candidate is saying or posturing at. If both of them can flip so much from talking softly to shouting loud anti-China profanities then their individual characters may be deemed malleable and unscrupulous. Both have shown a shameless streak in stoking anti-China bashing for electioneering gain. Trump pulled that trick last time out in 2016 when he railed against China for “raping America” only for him to discover “deep friendship” with Xi following that election. Now he has reverted to hostility out of self-serving calculation to whip up anti-China sentiment among voters. And Biden is apt to do the very same.
Forget about such fickle personalities when it comes to reading U.S. policy towards China. Beijing will be looking at the longer trajectory of how U.S. policy turned towards a more militarized approach with the “Pivot to Asia” under the Obama-Biden administration in 2011. Indicating how Deep State continuity transcends Democrat or Republican occupants of the White House, the next major indicator was in the Pentagon planning documents of 2017 and 2018 under Trump which labelled China and Russia as “great power rivals”. The American “ship of state”, it may be concluded, is therefore set on a collision course with both Beijing and Moscow in terms of ramping up a confrontational agenda. Who sits in the White House scarcely matters.
For Trump and Biden to trade barbs about which one is “softer” on China or Russia is irrelevant in the bigger picture of U.S. imperialist ambitions for global dominance. The logic of a waning American empire and the concomitant inherent belligerence to compensate for the perceived loss of U.S. global power are the issues to follow, not whether Trump or Biden clinch the dog-and-pony race to the White House.

hat makes the U.S. “chattering classes” so worthless is their refusal to talk about anything except those subjects that are approved for public discourse by the Lords of Capital, as certified by the high priests of corporate media. If the chattering classes were permitted to discuss truly important subjects – such as, Who Rules? -- their yammering might hold some social value. However, the obvious fact of corporate dictatorship is also the great taboo. When the overarching reality of our times – the Dictatorship of (White) Capital, from which all of the planet’s existential crises flow -- is verboten, haram, unspeakable, most of what’s left to busy the lips is mindless, meaningless chatter that is utterly useless to the task of fixing what ails society.
“Clearly, the Democratic Party is the mechanism that spawns and nurtures Black politicians answerable to the Dictatorship of (White) Capital.”
The duopoly electoral system is a crucial part of the infrastructure of the Dictatorship of (White) Capital, monopolizing all political discourse so that the people believe that “politics” consists of voting for one of the two corporate brands every two or four years. The huge recent outpourings of humanity demanding profound changes in U.S. racial-economic realities is not considered “politics” by the corporate media. Rather, it is categorized as “protest,” or simply “race” – but not politics, which is the domain of the Democratic and Republican Parties, whose legislative operatives will ultimately process the massed people’s demands into oblivion. The duopoly ensures that nothing escapes those chambers that threatens the Dictatorship of the (White) Lords of Capital. The people’s aspirations cannot become “politics”—and, therefore, practical, doable and publicly discussable projects -- without the benediction of Democrats or Republicans: a core corporate position that has the force of fact as long as the people believe it.
“The duopoly ensures that nothing that threatens the Dictatorship of the (White) Lords of Capital.”
That’s why I’ve chosen a long route in getting to the subjects of this week’s column: the threat by dissident Democratic convention delegates to stage a Medicare for All revolt; and last week’s U.S. House vote against cutting Pentagon spending by ten percent. These are actually stories that affirm the Dictatorship of (White) Capital -- but which the corporate media monopoly crafts to prove that “the people” do not really want health care as a right and reject a less bellicose foreign policy. Otherwise, why would their elected representatives and presidential nominees ultimately choose permanent domestic austerity and endless war?

The larger figure is said to include some Biden delegates that favor Medicare for All despite their candidate’s vow to veto the legislation if it ever reaches his presidential desk. The real question: why are only a fraction of the delegates to the party’s convention willing to take even a symbolic stand for legislation that is favored by 78 percent of the people that call themselves Democrats? Supermajorities of Democrats also favor a Green New Deal, a minimum living wage, and free higher education, none of which is reflected in the party platform or Joe Biden’s campaign spiel.

Usually, the Black Caucus vote closely follows that of House Democrats as a whole, under Nancy Pelosi’s whip. But this time the Black members lined up 58 percent for military cuts versus only 40 percent among all House Democrats.

Another important dispatch from The Greanville Post .
Be sure to share it widely .
This article is part of an ongoing series of dispatches by historian Eric Zuesse n important public statement was made on July 27th by n important public statement was made on July 27th by , the U.S. Government ’ s top expert on the internet , and on computer hacking .
He had been the Technical Director of the NSA when he quit and became a whistleblower against that Agency while George W. Bush was the U.S. President and invaded Iraq on the basis of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , in this speech , the evidence that he wants to present in court against Barack Obama ’ s CIA , that it defrauded Americans to believe in “ Russiagate ” ( the allegation that Russia ‘ hacked ’ the computers of Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party officials and fed that information to Wikileaks and other organizations ) .
Binney cites evidence , which , if true , conclusively proves that Russiagate was actually created fraudulently by the CIA ’ s extensive evidence-tampering , which subsequently became covered-up by the Special Counsel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Democratic Party ’ s first ( and failed ) try at impeaching and removing from office U.S. President Donald J. Trump .
boldface for emphasis of his key findings , and I place into [ brackets ] explanatory amplifications of my own ) , summarizing why he is convinced that the CIA ( under President Barack Obama ) did this frame-up against Russia , ‘ Russiagate ’ — it ’ s a case that he is seeking to present to Congress , and in court , and to debate in public , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the public ; he wants to show , and publicly to debate , this evidence , so that the public will be able to see it , and evaluate it , for themselves : Here is the transcript of ( and I add links to explanations of the meaning of technical phrases , and alsofor emphasis of his key findings , and I place into [ brackets ] explanatory amplifications of my own ) , summarizing why he is convinced that the CIA ( under President Barack Obama ) did this frame-up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s a case that he is seeking to present to Congress , and in court , and to debate in public , instead of to continue to be hidden from the public ; he wants to show , and publicly to debate , this evidence , so that the public will be able to see it , and evaluate it , for themselves : And , then , we had the other issue , [ which was ] with Guccifer 2 .
Now , Guccifer 2 came out shortly after , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had emails on Hillary Clinton , and so on , and the DNC .
Well , we looked at all the material that Guccifer 2 posted and [ he ] was saying here are the hacks that I did on the DNC .
He claimed he did one on the fifth of July , and one on the first of September , of 2016 .
Well , when you start looking at that — and we looked at the files — he posted a series of files , with file names , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and a timestamp at the end of the file .
Then , the next file number of characters and timestamp , and so on , for I do n't know how many thousands of files .
So , we looked at all those files , and we ran a program to calculate the transfer rate of all that data , because all you have to do is look at between the two time stamps , the file name and the number of characters in the file , and take the difference between @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that ’ s the transfer rate for that number of characters , so we found that the variations ran from something like 19 to 49.1 megabytes per second .
Now , that means for 19 to 49 million characters per second , and [ yet ] the world wide web would not support that rate of transfer , not for anybody who 's just , you know , a hacker coming in across the net , trying to do it .
They won ’ t support that kind [ speed ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we could be wrong [ and ] that it could be done , and so we said okay , we ’ re going to try it .
So , we organized some hackers in Europe , to try to transfer a data set from the U.S. over to Europe , to see how fast we could get it there , and we tried it from Albania , and Serbia , a couple of places in the Netherlands , and London .
Well , we got various rates , but the highest rate we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ New Jersey and one in London , and that was [ the one which had gone at ] 49.1 megabytes per second , and it went at 12 megabytes per second , which is one-fourth the rate , little less than one-fourth the rate necessary to do the transfer at the highest rate that we saw in the Guccifer 2 data , which meant it did n't go across the net , so , in fact , the file rate transfers couldn ’ t .
We were nowhere near the maximum rate that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had been a hack ] .
And so we said , okay , if anybody has a way of getting it there , let us know , and we ’ ll help you try to get to do that , and so far no one has ever come forward to dispute either the facts on the DNC data last file , modified file times , nor the transfer rates , for the Guccifer 2 .
In fact , we ca n't even find anything that points to Russia , when in fact the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and that Rosenstein indictment , named some that they called trolls for the Russian government , the IRA , the Internet Research Agency , out of St. Petersburg , and Russia , they named it in a court document , and , well , the IRA over there said we are no way near , we are not in any way associated with , the Russian government , so they sent lawyers in to challenge that in the court of law here in the U.S. , and the court charged the government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t , they couldn ’ t prove anything , and so the judge basically reprimanded them and said you were never to mention the IRA as in any way affiliated with the Russian government again , so their whole case was falling apart .
Everything looked like the rooks were two potato , was a fabrication , the alleged hack and so on , all applications , fabrication , and even if you look at some of the testimony that came out from the Crowdstrike CEO [ hired by the Democratic National @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was Sean Henry , he said we had no indications of exfiltrating the data , but we had evidence that it was exfiltrated .
Now , if he 's talking about the last modified times as an indication of exfiltration , which it was but it wasn ’ t from a hack it was from a download , so that download then is an indication it was done locally as were the Guccifer 2 data that couldn ’ t go across the net .
It was a download locally .
All that stuff @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the data and the Guccifer 2 material had all the time stamps indicating it was done on the East Coast of the United States , we had one in Central time , and one on the West Coast , but most of them fell on the East Coast , so it implied that all this stuff [ both Wikileaks and Guccifer 2 ] was happening on the East Coast , and that really pointed right back at CIA , as the origin of all this fabrication .
Binney wants to present this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s top officials under President Barack Obama .
Appendix Bill Binney appears on Tucker Carlson , one of the few mainstream venues to give him an audience

Another important dispatch from The Greanville Post. Be sure to share it widely.
This article is part of an ongoing series of dispatches by historian Eric Zuesse
A n important public statement was made on July 27th by n important public statement was made on July 27th by Bill Binney , the U.S. Government’s top expert on the internet, and on computer hacking. He had been the Technical Director of the NSA when he quit and became a whistleblower against that Agency while George W. Bush was the U.S. President and invaded Iraq on the basis of faked evidence. Binney has now laid out, in this speech, the evidence that he wants to present in court against Barack Obama’s CIA, that it defrauded Americans to believe in “Russiagate” (the allegation that Russia ‘hacked’ the computers of Hillary Clinton and Democratic Party officials and fed that information to Wikileaks and other organizations). Binney cites evidence, which, if true, conclusively proves that Russiagate was actually created fraudulently by the CIA’s extensive evidence-tampering, which subsequently became covered-up by the Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in his investigations for the Democratic Party’s first (and failed) try at impeaching and removing from office U.S. President Donald J. Trump.
boldface for emphasis of his key findings, and I place into [brackets] explanatory amplifications of my own), summarizing why he is convinced that the CIA (under President Barack Obama) did this frame-up against Russia, ‘Russiagate’ — it’s a case that he is seeking to present to Congress, and in court, and to debate in public, instead of to continue to be hidden from the public; he wants to show, and publicly to debate, this evidence, so that the public will be able to see it, and evaluate it, for themselves: Here is the transcript of his 10-minute speech (and I add links to explanations of the meaning of technical phrases, and alsofor emphasis of his key findings, and I place into [brackets] explanatory amplifications of my own), summarizing why he is convinced that the CIA (under President Barack Obama) did this frame-up against Russia, ‘Russiagate’ — it’s a case that he is seeking to present to Congress, and in court, and to debate in public, instead of to continue to be hidden from the public; he wants to show, and publicly to debate, this evidence, so that the public will be able to see it, and evaluate it, for themselves:
Basically the problem is that I can’t seem to get the forensic evidence into a court or up into the mainstream of evidence for defeating-refuting Russiagate. The point is that in the Veterans Intelligence Professionals for Sanity we have a bunch of technical people including Kirk Wiebe and I and some others and some affiliates that were in the UK who also joined the analysis process, and we were looking at the files posted by Wikileaks, because the allegation from the beginning is that Russia hacked the DNC and gave the emails to Wikileaks to publish. So, we looked at those emails, to see if there was something there that might give us some idea of how Wikileaks got that data. Well, in all the 35,813 emails that they posted in three batches, one [batch was] downloaded according to last modified times on the 23rd of May, and another on the 25th of May, and one [other] on the 26th of August, of 2016. Now, all those files, all 35,813, had a last modified time that was rounded off [rounded up] to an even [the next-higher] second, so they all ended up in even [meaning complete or full, not fractional] seconds. Now, if you know anything about data processing and data storage and things of that nature, there is a program that was quite common in the past [including 2016] using what’s called fat file formatting file allocation , table formatting, which is a process that when doing a batch process of data and transferring it to a storage device like a thumb drive or a CD-ROM, it rounds off the last modified time to the nearest even [next-higher] second, so that’s exactly the property we found in all that data posted by Wikileaks. Now, that said very simply this data was downloaded to a storage device a CD-ROM or a thumb drive and physically transported before Wikileaks could post it, so that meant it was not a hack [since there’s no rounding off to the next-higher second, as it would be if it’s a file that’s been carried over the internet], no matter how you look at it. We’re looking at the forensic evidence that says the DNC emails were not hacked, they were downloaded and physically transported to Wikileaks. [batch was][other][rounded up][the next-higher][meaning complete or full, not fractional][including 2016][next-higher][since there’s no rounding off to the next-higher second, as it would be if it’s a file that’s been carried over the internet]
And, then, we had the other issue, [which was] with Guccifer 2. Now, Guccifer 2 came out shortly after, you know, Julian Assange announced that he had emails on Hillary Clinton, and so on, and the DNC. Well, we looked at all the material that Guccifer 2 posted and [he] was saying here are the hacks that I did on the DNC. He claimed he did one on the fifth of July, and one on the first of September, of 2016. Well, when you start looking at that — and we looked at the files — he posted a series of files, with file names, the numbers of characters in the file, and a timestamp at the end of the file. Then, the next file number of characters and timestamp, and so on, for I don't know how many thousands of files. So, we looked at all those files, and we ran a program to calculate the transfer rate of all that data, because all you have to do is look at between the two time stamps, the file name and the number of characters in the file, and take the difference between the times [start-time versus end-time], and that’s the transfer rate for that number of characters, so we found that the variations ran from something like 19 to 49.1 megabytes per second. Now, that means for 19 to 49 million characters per second, and [yet] the world wide web would not support that rate of transfer, not for anybody who's just, you know, a hacker coming in across the net, trying to do it. They won’t support that kind [speed] of transfer, and some people thought we could be wrong [and] that it could be done, and so we said okay, we’re going to try it. So, we organized some hackers in Europe, to try to transfer a data set from the U.S. over to Europe, to see how fast we could get it there, and we tried it from Albania, and Serbia, a couple of places in the Netherlands, and London. Well, we got various rates, but the highest rate we got was between the data center in New Jersey and one in London, and that was [the one which had gone at] 49.1 megabytes per second, and it went at 12 megabytes per second, which is one-fourth the rate, little less than one-fourth the rate necessary to do the transfer at the highest rate that we saw in the Guccifer 2 data, which meant it didn't go across the net, so, in fact, the file rate transfers couldn’t. We were nowhere near the maximum rate that [would have been necessary if this had been a hack]. And so we said, okay, if anybody has a way of getting it there, let us know, and we’ll help you try to get to do that, and so far no one has ever come forward to dispute either the facts on the DNC data last file, modified file times, nor the transfer rates, for the Guccifer 2.
Plus, there’s another factor with Guccifer 2, there’s actually two more with Guccifer 2 data, the first of the five July data, and the one September data, if you ignored a date and hour they could merge like you’re shuffling a deck of cards the holes in the five July data timing were filled by data from the first September, that said to us that Guccifer 2 was playing with the data, separating in the two files, saying he made two different acts and and doing a range change on the date and the hour on the one file, so this to us was also an indication of fabrication on the part of Guccifer 2. Then, there’s another factor: when Guccifer 2 put out some from files on 15 june of 2016, with the signatures of Russian saying it’s a Russian hack, our fellows in the UK looking at the data found five of those files at a minimum, I don’t know they’re through yet looking, but they found five files that Guccifer 2 posted on the 15th of June with Russian signatures saying the Russians did this because of a signature they found the same five files posted by Wikileaks from a Podesta emails and they did not have the Russian signatures, so that meant Guccifer 2 was inserting Russian signatures to make it look like the Russians did the [alleged] hack. Well, if you go back to the Vault 7 release from Wikileaks again, from CIA, and you look, they have this Marble framework program that will modify files to look like someone else did the hack, and who were the countries that they had the ability to do that, in the in the Marble framework program? Well, one was Russia, the other was China, North Korea, Iran, and Arab countries. Well, to us, then, that means that the fabrication of the insert of the Russian signatures means that somebody modified the file and made it look like it fits the Marble framework definition of doing that kind of activity, which thus says all of this boosts with two materials pointing back now to CIA, as the origin of it, that’s the basic evidence we have, and none of it points to Russia. [alleged]
In fact, we can't even find anything that points to Russia, when in fact the Mueller indictment, or the Mueller report, and that Rosenstein indictment, named some that they called trolls for the Russian government, the IRA, the Internet Research Agency, out of St. Petersburg, and Russia, they named it in a court document, and, well, the IRA over there said we are no way near, we are not in any way associated with, the Russian government, so they sent lawyers in to challenge that in the court of law here in the U.S., and the court charged the government to prove it, and they couldn’t, they couldn’t prove anything, and so the judge basically reprimanded them and said you were never to mention the IRA as in any way affiliated with the Russian government again, so their whole case was falling apart. Everything looked like the rooks were two potato, was a fabrication, the alleged hack and so on, all applications, fabrication, and even if you look at some of the testimony that came out from the Crowdstrike CEO [hired by the Democratic National Committee], I think his name was Sean Henry, he said we had no indications of exfiltrating the data, but we had evidence that it was exfiltrated. Now, if he's talking about the last modified times as an indication of exfiltration, which it was but it wasn’t from a hack it was from a download, so that download then is an indication it was done locally as were the Guccifer 2 data that couldn’t go across the net. It was a download locally. All that stuff happened locally. In fact, some of the data and the Guccifer 2 material had all the time stamps indicating it was done on the East Coast of the United States, we had one in Central time, and one on the West Coast, but most of them fell on the East Coast, so it implied that all this stuff [both Wikileaks and Guccifer 2] was happening on the East Coast, and that really pointed right back at CIA, as the origin of all this fabrication.
Binney wants to present this case at trial, against the CIA’s top officials under President Barack Obama.

China’s Vision in a Post-COVID World

Another important dispatch from The Greanville Post .
Be sure to share it widely .
This is an article by senior contributing editor Peter Koenig n 13 July an international newscast reported that the European Commission will discuss as a priority on how the EU should react to China ’ s national security law for Hong Kong , a sovereign decision taken by Beijing to protect the citizens of the Chinese territory , Hong Kong , from western instigated riots and acts of terror .
This is apparently an issue close to the heart of the German Foreign Minister , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue as a priority for the EC to be discussed .
Can you imagine !
The audacity of the EC to even suggest debating on what should be the reaction of Europe on an entirely internal affair of Sovereign China ?
What would Europe , Germany , France , or any other EU member state say if China would comment on their EU-collective or individual sovereign internal affairs ?
– It ’ s not difficult to see the hypocrisy of the west , vis-à-vis the east , especially China and Russia .
Or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The economic sanctions imposed on China in the Huawei affair will be returned several-fold by Beijing .
If the Queen Elizabeth goes too far , the Chinese Navy has more than what it takes to sink her .
And if the three million Chinese arrive from Hong Kong , it is not immediately clear where they will be housed or where they will work in Britain ’ s broken economy .
In fact , perhaps the most cunning plan would be for China to open the Hong Kong floodgates now and force London @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Why is the west so much interested in Hong Kong ?
– Could it be that Hong Kong has been serving mostly western oligarchs and corporate and financial giants for illegal fiscal transactions , like money laundering and tax evasion ?
Why not shifting dubious financial transactions simply to Singapore ?
– Hong Kong is much closer still to the British Crown ( until 1997 ) , than Singapore which was dissolved as Crown colony in 1963 , when it became a state of Malaysia , ending 144 years of British rule .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ the independent Republic of Singapore .
Since then Singapore has built up a strictly controlled financial and fiscal regime .
This – just as an introduction to the Big Picture that China may want to keep in mind for their future economic policy and planning vision .
The west can not be counted on .
The west , under the leadership of the dying Anglo-American empire is in its last breath hell-bent to stop , to destroy China ’ s economic advances – if it could .
But it can ’ t .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ fully legitimate economic advances that do no harm anybody , to the contrary , China keeps seeking peaceful cooperation with the west .
A prime example is President Xi ’ s Belt and Road Initiative ( BRI ) , the New Silk Road – designed as bridge that spans the world with projects and initiatives intended to bring humanity closer together , developing jointly her economic potential , attempting to respect and better understand cultural differences and learn from the variety of their richness .
A “ win-win ” for all .
In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Mikhail Khazin , While the world economy is collapsing as it never did in the history we can remember - maybe by as much as 50 % , the Chinese economy is growing .
When SARS-2-Cov , later renamed by WHO COVID-19 – was first discovered in Wuhan , China , Wuhan and Chinese authorities reacted immediately with a total lockdown , extending from Wuhan ( 11 million population ) to the entire Hubei Province ( 60 million ) – and subsequently beyond , covering the whole country .
China ’ s reaction @ @ @ @ @ @ @ discipline of the population .
The origin of the “ new ” corona virus , is still debated , but all substantiated evidence leads to conclude that the virus originated outside of China and was transported to China in one way or another .
Patient zero was with high probability somewhere in the United States and emerged likely sometime between August and October 2019 .
We also know about the 2010 Rockefeller Report that predicted a pandemic outbreak at the beginning of 2020 – with what the report calls “ The Lockstep Scenario @ @ @ @ @ @ @ living now and has been going through since the beginning of 2020 , especially since the worldwide lockdown of everything in mid-March 2020 .
This already looks like a meticulously planned global “ pandemic ” .
Something that has never happened since the existence of mankind- that a pandemic virus hits the world population at the very same time , at once .
This in itself is already too much of a coincidence to be a natural occurrence .
Now , add to this , Event 201 of 18 October 2019 , sponsored @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Health , the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation ( BMGF ) and the cream of the elite , the WEF ( World Economic Forum ) , an event , whose key purpose was to computer simulate – yes , you guessed it - a corona pandemic that not only killed ( by computer simulation ) over a period of 18 months , 65 million people , but also destroyed the stock market and by and large the world economy , leaving behind uncountable bankruptcies , untold misery , poverty , famine and desperation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the “ grassroots ” to the top .
Doesn ’ t the current global economic annihilation that is uprooting the world as we know it , look very similar ?
From mid-March to mid-May 2020 – two intense Covid-months – US billionaires have added US $ 434 billion to their wealth , according to an CNBC report .
And we haven ’ t even seen the tip of the iceberg yet in terms of bankruptcies , unemployment , misery and famine , nor in terms of asset transfers from the bottom to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to follow over the coming one to three years .
Whoever directs this “ coincidental ” covid-scenario , may have a multi-purpose in mind .
For example , creating a new world economic paradigm of a fear-infested broken society of poverty and slavehood , led by a corporate financial elite – and , perhaps equally or more important – eliminating the perceived Chinese competition for world hegemony .
Western perceived and propagated , of course .
Devoid of reality .
As China doesn ’ t have hegemonic ambitions .
Never had such ambitions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ history indicate .
It ’ s not part of her Tao philosophy .
With the endless bashing of China , who could expect the west having the slightest idea of Chinese history and Taoism ?
China ’ s disciplinary lockdown wiped out – temporarily – more than two thirds of her production apparatus .
Yet , this very lockdown and discipline was also what saved China from total disaster , as has happened in other countries , notably the US .
As of 13 July 2020 , China had 83,602 cases of infection @ @ @ @ @ @ @ total population of 1.4 billion .
Compare this to the US , with 3.4 million infections and 137,000 deaths , by 13 July and according to official US statistics .
The US has a population of about 330 million , less than a fourth of the Chinese population .
The consequential halt to the Chinese economy – a vital supply chain to western economies , especially the US but also Europe – plus the western border and harbor closings due to Covid , had a disastrous impact on the world economy .
Once @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the disease slowly abated , around May / June 2020 , China gradually re-opened her borders and restarted her economy .
Today , the Chinese economy has basically fully recovered .
The outlook for China is good .
The IMF initially predicted an unrealistic global GDP contraction of 3 % , later adjusted to 5.5 % , for 2020 with a slight growth for 2021 .
This is far from reality .
In truth , nobody can predict the full global calamity at this point .
But the social dimension of global @ @ @ @ @ @ @ related death toll is a human disaster way outranking the 1929-33 Great Depression ; a socioeconomic blow unheard of in human history .
Outlook and Forward Strategy Realizing China ’ s rapid recovery , but also taking into account the western trade war against China , the IMF predicted a 1 % growth for 2020 and rising in 2021 to maybe 3 % .
Given China ’ s preparedness for western aggressions , economic and otherwise , China estimates a 2020 growth of around 3.5 % and reaching 5 % to 6 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like the world to believe that the decline of China ’ s phenomenal growth of 12 % and higher , to a “ mere ” 5 % to 6 % is an indication for China ’ s big economic problems .
Never mind that an expansion of 5 % to 6 % is still more than double that of the west .
China has decided to convert vertical growth – based on production and consumption and the use of natural resources – to horizontal or “ quality growth ” , meaning using her @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public financial institutions to address territorial and sectorial weak spots and inequalities in the country .
This approach allows dealing specifically with local ( mostly western China ) infrastructure shortcomings which have sustained inequalities of living standards between the eastern Pacific Rim and the country ’ s interior , notably the western and north-western provinces .
Many of these local investments , by local public banks may be based on long-term financing at highly favorable conditions .
What the west would call “ subsidies ” , a derogatory term in western neoliberal economies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ instant profit ’ .
China sees this differently .
A long-term financial instrument at favorable conditions is a contribution to the communal , regional and national economy .
It increases the general welfare and productivity of people , the “ happiness factor ” – which is an indicator of the overall improvement of a country ’ s equilibrium and wellbeing .
China is currently confronted with western aggressions of several kinds – all led by Washington and supported by its subservient allies .
One is the on-and-off but seemingly never-ending trade war by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ US knows , of course , that the trade war in reality has nothing to do with trade , but rather with launching bad publicity against China , and bashing China ’ s currency – meaning , attempting to destroy world confidence in the yuan .
This will not happen .
Most of the United States ’ still functioning industries ( those not yet outsourced ) and the biggest contributor to US GDP – consumption – depend largely on the Chinese supply chains .
They all need Chinese goods and inputs to survive @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which depends to 80 % on imports from China .
This refers especially to pharmaceuticals and inputs to pharmaceutical products , manufactured in the US or Europe .
In the case of antibiotics , the percentage is a s high as 90 % .
This is only one sector .
Imagine , China would stop selling iPads and iPhones – or other computer parts to the US , what that would mean for the US economy , let alone for the US consumer ’ s wellbeing and comfort .
China knows the threat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China ’ s supply chains , is a bluff , but China is ready to call the bluff , by reorienting and enhancing her trade relations with Asia and the members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization ( SCO ) , which include , in addition to China and Russia , most Central Asian countries , and also India , Pakistan , with Iran , Malaysia and Mongolia in observer status , preparing to be fully incorporated .
China is also boosting trade among the ASEAN+3 countries ( Association of Southeast Asian Nations – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Malaysia , Myanmar , the Philippines , Singapore , Thailand , and Vietnam ; plus 3 = Japan , South Korea and China ) .
Monetary transactions will take place mostly in yuan and local currencies , not the US dollar .
In the first three months of 2020 , China ’ s trade with ASEAN countries surpassed both the EU and the United States .
During this period , ASEAN-China trade increased by 6 percent year-on-year to US $ 140 billion and accounting for 15 percent of China ’ s total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , expected to increase to 30 % or higher by 2025 .
Some of this shift may be due to the EU ’ s almost total covid-lockdown during this period .
However , the reoriented and intensified trade with ASEAN+3 , away from the western aggression , is sustainable with a visible tendency to grow .
Trading with ASEAN and SCO countries , monetary transfers will be carried out in yuan or local currencies , outside the dollar domain and avoiding the SWIFT payment scheme .
Instead , monetary transfers will use the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) , or , alternatively , the Russian MIR ( meaning ‘ peace ’ ) , at present mostly used for Russian internal transactions , but gradually being internationalized .
In addition , the Chinese People ’ s Bank of China controlled crypto yuan is just about ready to be launched internationally – see below for more details .
SCO and ASEAN+3 account for about half the world population and for one third of the globes economic output .
While continuing offering partnerships with the west , as China non-belligerently does , China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s good will .
Far from it .
China may also expand its concentration onto the super-continent of Eurasia which is connected to Africa and includes the Middle East .
To serve this enormous landmass no seas have to be crossed .
Its easy trading , friendly relations , no conflicts , because equal partners strive for the real meaning of trade , no losers , only win-win .
Not to forget , Eurasia has been for the past century a thorn in Anglo-American empire ’ s eye .
It is a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ square kilometers ( 21 million sq .
mi ) , or around 36.2 % of the Earth 's total land area ; with a population of about 5 billion people ( 2020 est . )
, about 65 % of the world population .
In addition , the supercontinent harbors enormous riches of natural resources .
An estimated at least two thirds of still available natural resources are located in Eurasia .
This is a formidable resource and market .
Dominating Eurasia is part of the self-declared Anglo-American hegemon ’ s objective – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington ’ s relentless aggression against China and Russia .
One of the strategies Washington applies is the thousands of years-old “ divide to conquer ” – separating Western Europe from Russia and China .
For hundreds of years before the ascent of the Anglo-American empire , western European countries and territories were natural trading partners of Russia , as well as of China , the latter largely thanks to the old ( 2100-year-old ) Silk Road .
WWII and the subsequent Cold War with its “ Iron Curtain ” was supposed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and at the same time sever western Europe from her traditional alliance with the Eurasian Continent , notably with Russia , but also with more distant China .
The elaborate construct of building a post WWII united Europe with eventually a unique currency , an idea initiated by the CIA with European Atlantists of the Club of Rome in the 1950s – was supposed to finally make Western Europe a US ally and to separate Europe definitely from the concept of socialism , notably from the Soviet Union .
The plan almost succeeded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and equilibrium .
The Soviet Union was finally destroyed by the west , starting in the mid-1980s with the final collapse in 1991 , helped by such traitors as Mikhail Gorbachev ( 1985-1991 ) and Boris Yeltsin ( 1991-1999 ) .
Yeltsin sold out much of the riches of the Soviet Union to the western-allied Russian elite and through them , to the west .
However , in 2000 Vladimir Putin was elected as Russia ’ s new President .
He saw through this western fraud – and changed it all .
He @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended western usurpation of Russia .
Today , under President Putin , and despite endless western sanctions , Russia has regained full sovereignty and has become self-sufficient in the three life-pillars , food , education and health .
Russia has also become one of the world ’ s foremost food grain exporters , like wheat , as well as a military power with technologically the most advanced defense systems in the world .
In alliance with China , a solid pact between the two countries – the East , the Eurasian Continent is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ success of Mr. Putin ’ s , away from western exploitation and for the benefit of the Russian people , has unleashed a firestorm of wrath by the Occident against Putin and Russia .
There is hardly a day when Putin or Russia bashing – and also China bashing , for that matter - is not on the western news menu .
Europe , still oscillating somewhere in between west and east , may eventually join ( or re-join ) her natural partners in the east .
Indications to that end are the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world is already allied with Russia and by extension , with China – and this despite Madame Merkel , whose official position has until recently been fully pro-Washington .
However , more recently she has also been propagating independence from Washington .
Without much ado , pioneered by Greece and Italy , and against protests from Washington , Europe is gradually also becoming part of China ’ s BRI .
Predictably , new alliances will emerge and that with the idea of a multi-polar world .
Both Beijing and Moscow have been propagating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ towards a multi-polar world , favoring peace and cooperation .
-- -- Away from the sanction-prone west , a priority for China is also developing her own internal market and infrastructure .
This has already begun , addressing primarily China ’ s western and north-western provinces .
It is the conversion from China ’ s traditional vertical growth , reaching in the past at times 12 % or more per year , to what is called “ quality growth ” , bringing about socioeconomic development to the Chinese “ hinterland ” – people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Chinese economy , comparing the country ’ s eastern and western regions .
Another territorial area of contention is the South China Sea .
This is nothing new .
Already under Obama ’ s infamous “ Pivot to Asia ” ( 2012 onward ) – a political disaster – he “ occupied ” the South China Sea with about 60 % of the US navy fleet , yes , almost two thirds of US war ships were menacingly circulating and watching over Chinese movements and activities – in what is China ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump , the aggression has become even fiercer .
On 14 July RT reports China ’ s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian as saying to reporters that the US has been “ the troublemaker and the disruptor of peace and stability in the region , ” .
He added , `` China enjoys indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea and the islands .
China 's stand is based on historical facts and international law .
China 's sovereign rights and positions are formed in the course of history and this position has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” And further , “ Beijing has never sought to establish “ an empire ” in the region .
However , he argued that China ’ s territorial claims and interests “ have sufficient historical and legal basis , ” and are legal under international law.
” What are the real bones of contention of China ’ s rightful territorial claims to much of the South China Sea ?
–There are between 42 and 70 billion barrels of oil under the South China Sea , possibly more - and close to 300 trillion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
China is less wary about her territorial partners in the South China Sea ( Brunei , Taiwan , Indonesia , Malaysia , the Philippines , and Vietnam . )
, than about western / NATO interference and bullying of these partners into conflicts and belligerence with China .
The non-confrontational approach of China is bound to find resources sharing arrangements with these regional partners .
***** A key issue for the US is China ’ s strong currency , the yuan .
The yuan is poised to gradually replace the US-dollar as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ international strength of the yuan is being enhanced by a blockchain-based and gold-backed People ’ s Bank of China ( PBC ) controlled crypto-yuan .
China ’ s central bank ( PBC ) has launched a trial run in a number of cities , including Shenzhen , Suzhou , Chengdu , and Xiong ’ an , of her new crypto-currency , the e-RMB ( Ren Min Bi , meaning People 's Money ) , or Yuan .
So far it has been fully accepted by the people and is used virtually for everything @ @ @ @ @ @ @ purchases , to rent payments , street shopping and more .
Eventually the new cyber money will be rolled out internationally for trade , commodity pricing – and even to be used as a safe and stable reserve currency .
The digital blockchain money assures the users total security , no interference from outside .
It is a protection from ” sanctions ” and arbitrary confiscation of financial assets .
As such , the new cyber yuan may become an attractive international trading / transfer alternative to the US-dollar .
This will add @ @ @ @ @ @ @ economic strength .
Not only will her economy soon outrank that of the United States , the yuan may also gradually become one of the main reserve currencies of the world .
With sanctions and threats of war – from trade , to biological , to cyber , to hard warfare by missiles and bombs – China is once again on her way to a new autonomy , a trustworthy Asian market – even including Australia and Japan – as well as a large potential internal market .
The west , the US @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on China ’ s supply chains , but these can no longer be used as instruments for sanctions and coercion .
China is embedded in a solid alliance with Russia and in a strategic coalition with the SCO .
In addition , President Xi ’ s Belt and Road Initiative – BRI , or also called the New Silk Road – is about to become the world ’ s economic development revolution of the 21st Century .
In this sense , China will continue to relentlessly work in a non-aggression style forward , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ future for mankind .

Another important dispatch from The Greanville Post. Be sure to share it widely.
This is an article by senior contributing editor Peter Koenig
O
n 13 July an international newscast reported that the European Commission will discuss as a priority on how the EU should react to China’s national security law for Hong Kong, a sovereign decision taken by Beijing to protect the citizens of the Chinese territory, Hong Kong, from western instigated riots and acts of terror. This is apparently an issue close to the heart of the German Foreign Minister, Heiko Maas, as he raised the issue as a priority for the EC to be discussed.
Can you imagine! The audacity of the EC to even suggest debating on what should be the reaction of Europe on an entirely internal affair of Sovereign China?
What would Europe, Germany, France, or any other EU member state say if China would comment on their EU-collective or individual sovereign internal affairs? – It’s not difficult to see the hypocrisy of the west, vis-à-vis the east, especially China and Russia.
Or, in the words of RT:
The economic sanctions imposed on China in the Huawei affair will be returned several-fold by Beijing. If the Queen Elizabeth goes too far, the Chinese Navy has more than what it takes to sink her.
And if the three million Chinese arrive from Hong Kong, it is not immediately clear where they will be housed or where they will work in Britain’s broken economy. In fact, perhaps the most cunning plan would be for China to open the Hong Kong floodgates now and force London to own up to its words.
Why is the west so much interested in Hong Kong? – Could it be that Hong Kong has been serving mostly western oligarchs and corporate and financial giants for illegal fiscal transactions, like money laundering and tax evasion? Why not shifting dubious financial transactions simply to Singapore? – Hong Kong is much closer still to the British Crown (until 1997), than Singapore which was dissolved as Crown colony in 1963, when it became a state of Malaysia, ending 144 years of British rule. In August 1965, Singapore became officially the independent Republic of Singapore. Since then Singapore has built up a strictly controlled financial and fiscal regime.
This – just as an introduction to the Big Picture that China may want to keep in mind for their future economic policy and planning vision. The west cannot be counted on. The west, under the leadership of the dying Anglo-American empire is in its last breath hell-bent to stop, to destroy China’s economic advances – if it could. But it can’t.
Mind you, China’s are fully legitimate economic advances that do no harm anybody, to the contrary, China keeps seeking peaceful cooperation with the west. A prime example is President Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the New Silk Road – designed as bridge that spans the world with projects and initiatives intended to bring humanity closer together, developing jointly her economic potential, attempting to respect and better understand cultural differences and learn from the variety of their richness. A “win-win” for all.
In the words of famous Russian economist, Mikhail Khazin, While the world economy is collapsing as it never did in the history we can remember - maybe by as much as 50%, the Chinese economy is growing.
When SARS-2-Cov, later renamed by WHO COVID-19 – was first discovered in Wuhan, China, Wuhan and Chinese authorities reacted immediately with a total lockdown, extending from Wuhan (11 million population) to the entire Hubei Province (60 million) – and subsequently beyond, covering the whole country. China’s reaction was decisive, immediate and with full discipline of the population.
The origin of the “new” corona virus, is still debated, but all substantiated evidence leads to conclude that the virus originated outside of China and was transported to China in one way or another. Patient zero was with high probability somewhere in the United States and emerged likely sometime between August and October 2019.
We also know about the 2010 Rockefeller Report that predicted a pandemic outbreak at the beginning of 2020 – with what the report calls “The Lockstep Scenario” – precisely what the world is living now and has been going through since the beginning of 2020, especially since the worldwide lockdown of everything in mid-March 2020. This already looks like a meticulously planned global “pandemic”. Something that has never happened since the existence of mankind- that a pandemic virus hits the world population at the very same time, at once. This in itself is already too much of a coincidence to be a natural occurrence.
Now, add to this, Event 201 of 18 October 2019, sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University School of Health, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and the cream of the elite, the WEF (World Economic Forum), an event, whose key purpose was to computer simulate – yes, you guessed it - a corona pandemic that not only killed (by computer simulation) over a period of 18 months, 65 million people, but also destroyed the stock market and by and large the world economy, leaving behind uncountable bankruptcies, untold misery, poverty, famine and desperation – a way of transferring wealth from the “grassroots” to the top.
Doesn’t the current global economic annihilation that is uprooting the world as we know it, look very similar? From mid-March to mid-May 2020 – two intense Covid-months – US billionaires have added US$ 434 billion to their wealth, according to an CNBC report. And we haven’t even seen the tip of the iceberg yet in terms of bankruptcies, unemployment, misery and famine, nor in terms of asset transfers from the bottom to the top. Let alone what’s to follow over the coming one to three years.
Whoever directs this “coincidental” covid-scenario, may have a multi-purpose in mind. For example, creating a new world economic paradigm of a fear-infested broken society of poverty and slavehood, led by a corporate financial elite – and, perhaps equally or more important – eliminating the perceived Chinese competition for world hegemony. Western perceived and propagated, of course. Devoid of reality. As China doesn’t have hegemonic ambitions. Never had such ambitions, as thousands of years of Chinese history indicate. It’s not part of her Tao philosophy. With the endless bashing of China, who could expect the west having the slightest idea of Chinese history and Taoism?
China’s disciplinary lockdown wiped out – temporarily – more than two thirds of her production apparatus. Yet, this very lockdown and discipline was also what saved China from total disaster, as has happened in other countries, notably the US.
As of 13 July 2020, China had 83,602 cases of infection and 4,634 deaths, out of a total population of 1.4 billion. Compare this to the US, with 3.4 million infections and 137,000 deaths, by 13 July and according to official US statistics. The US has a population of about 330 million, less than a fourth of the Chinese population.
The consequential halt to the Chinese economy – a vital supply chain to western economies, especially the US but also Europe – plus the western border and harbor closings due to Covid, had a disastrous impact on the world economy. Once the corona peak was reached in China and the disease slowly abated, around May / June 2020, China gradually re-opened her borders and restarted her economy. Today, the Chinese economy has basically fully recovered. The outlook for China is good.
The IMF initially predicted an unrealistic global GDP contraction of 3%, later adjusted to 5.5%, for 2020 with a slight growth for 2021. This is far from reality. In truth, nobody can predict the full global calamity at this point. But the social dimension of global misery, poverty, famine and the related death toll is a human disaster way outranking the 1929-33 Great Depression; a socioeconomic blow unheard of in human history.
Outlook and Forward Strategy
Realizing China’s rapid recovery, but also taking into account the western trade war against China, the IMF predicted a 1% growth for 2020 and rising in 2021 to maybe 3%. Given China’s preparedness for western aggressions, economic and otherwise, China estimates a 2020 growth of around 3.5% and reaching 5% to 6% in 2021.
Western propaganda media would like the world to believe that the decline of China’s phenomenal growth of 12% and higher, to a “mere” 5% to 6% is an indication for China’s big economic problems. Never mind that an expansion of 5% to 6% is still more than double that of the west. China has decided to convert vertical growth – based on production and consumption and the use of natural resources – to horizontal or “quality growth”, meaning using her extensive network of public banking and other public financial institutions to address territorial and sectorial weak spots and inequalities in the country.
This approach allows dealing specifically with local (mostly western China) infrastructure shortcomings which have sustained inequalities of living standards between the eastern Pacific Rim and the country’s interior, notably the western and north-western provinces. Many of these local investments, by local public banks may be based on long-term financing at highly favorable conditions. What the west would call “subsidies”, a derogatory term in western neoliberal economies which function on the concept of ‘instant profit’.
China sees this differently. A long-term financial instrument at favorable conditions is a contribution to the communal, regional and national economy. It increases the general welfare and productivity of people, the “happiness factor” – which is an indicator of the overall improvement of a country’s equilibrium and wellbeing.
China is currently confronted with western aggressions of several kinds – all led by Washington and supported by its subservient allies. One is the on-and-off but seemingly never-ending trade war by the Trump Administration against China. The US knows, of course, that the trade war in reality has nothing to do with trade, but rather with launching bad publicity against China, and bashing China’s currency – meaning, attempting to destroy world confidence in the yuan. This will not happen.
Most of the United States’ still functioning industries (those not yet outsourced) and the biggest contributor to US GDP – consumption – depend largely on the Chinese supply chains. They all need Chinese goods and inputs to survive, in particular, the medical industry which depends to 80% on imports from China. This refers especially to pharmaceuticals and inputs to pharmaceutical products, manufactured in the US or Europe. In the case of antibiotics, the percentage is a s high as 90%. This is only one sector. Imagine, China would stop selling iPads and iPhones – or other computer parts to the US, what that would mean for the US economy, let alone for the US consumer’s wellbeing and comfort.
China knows the threat of trade war and of cutting off China’s supply chains, is a bluff, but China is ready to call the bluff, by reorienting and enhancing her trade relations with Asia and the members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which include, in addition to China and Russia, most Central Asian countries, and also India, Pakistan, with Iran, Malaysia and Mongolia in observer status, preparing to be fully incorporated.
China is also boosting trade among the ASEAN+3 countries (Association of Southeast Asian Nations – Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam; plus 3 = Japan, South Korea and China). Monetary transactions will take place mostly in yuan and local currencies, not the US dollar.
In the first three months of 2020, China’s trade with ASEAN countries surpassed both the EU and the United States. During this period, ASEAN-China trade increased by 6 percent year-on-year to US$140 billion and accounting for 15 percent of China’s total trade volume (https://www.aseanbriefing.com/news/asean-overtakes-eu-become-chinas-top-trading-partner-q1-2020/), expected to increase to 30% or higher by 2025. Some of this shift may be due to the EU’s almost total covid-lockdown during this period. However, the reoriented and intensified trade with ASEAN+3, away from the western aggression, is sustainable with a visible tendency to grow.
Trading with ASEAN and SCO countries, monetary transfers will be carried out in yuan or local currencies, outside the dollar domain and avoiding the SWIFT payment scheme. Instead, monetary transfers will use the Chinese CIPS (Cross-Border Interbank Payment System), or, alternatively, the Russian MIR (meaning ‘peace’), at present mostly used for Russian internal transactions, but gradually being internationalized. In addition, the Chinese People’s Bank of China controlled crypto yuan is just about ready to be launched internationally – see below for more details.
SCO and ASEAN+3 account for about half the world population and for one third of the globes economic output. While continuing offering partnerships with the west, as China non-belligerently does, China is no longer dependent on the west’s good will. Far from it.
China may also expand its concentration onto the super-continent of Eurasia which is connected to Africa and includes the Middle East. To serve this enormous landmass no seas have to be crossed. Its easy trading, friendly relations, no conflicts, because equal partners strive for the real meaning of trade, no losers, only win-win.
Not to forget, Eurasia has been for the past century a thorn in Anglo-American empire’s eye. It is a huge market, covering about 55 million square kilometers (21 million sq. mi), or around 36.2% of the Earth's total land area; with a population of about 5 billion people (2020 est.), about 65% of the world population. In addition, the supercontinent harbors enormous riches of natural resources. An estimated at least two thirds of still available natural resources are located in Eurasia. This is a formidable resource and market.
Dominating Eurasia is part of the self-declared Anglo-American hegemon’s objective – and it is a key reason for Washington’s relentless aggression against China and Russia. One of the strategies Washington applies is the thousands of years-old “divide to conquer” – separating Western Europe from Russia and China. For hundreds of years before the ascent of the Anglo-American empire, western European countries and territories were natural trading partners of Russia, as well as of China, the latter largely thanks to the old (2100-year-old) Silk Road.
WWII and the subsequent Cold War with its “Iron Curtain” was supposed to “finish” the socialist Soviet Union and at the same time sever western Europe from her traditional alliance with the Eurasian Continent, notably with Russia, but also with more distant China. The elaborate construct of building a post WWII united Europe with eventually a unique currency, an idea initiated by the CIA with European Atlantists of the Club of Rome in the 1950s – was supposed to finally make Western Europe a US ally and to separate Europe definitely from the concept of socialism, notably from the Soviet Union.
The plan almost succeeded. But dynamics sometime seek out justice and equilibrium. The Soviet Union was finally destroyed by the west, starting in the mid-1980s with the final collapse in 1991, helped by such traitors as Mikhail Gorbachev (1985-1991) and Boris Yeltsin (1991-1999). Yeltsin sold out much of the riches of the Soviet Union to the western-allied Russian elite and through them, to the west.
However, in 2000 Vladimir Putin was elected as Russia’s new President. He saw through this western fraud – and changed it all. He took firm control over Russia and successfully ended western usurpation of Russia. Today, under President Putin, and despite endless western sanctions, Russia has regained full sovereignty and has become self-sufficient in the three life-pillars, food, education and health. Russia has also become one of the world’s foremost food grain exporters, like wheat, as well as a military power with technologically the most advanced defense systems in the world. In alliance with China, a solid pact between the two countries – the East, the Eurasian Continent is unbeatable by the west.
This politico-socioeconomic success of Mr. Putin’s, away from western exploitation and for the benefit of the Russian people, has unleashed a firestorm of wrath by the Occident against Putin and Russia. There is hardly a day when Putin or Russia bashing – and also China bashing, for that matter - is not on the western news menu.
Europe, still oscillating somewhere in between west and east, may eventually join (or re-join) her natural partners in the east. Indications to that end are the clearest in Germany, where the corporate world is already allied with Russia and by extension, with China – and this despite Madame Merkel, whose official position has until recently been fully pro-Washington. However, more recently she has also been propagating independence from Washington.
Without much ado, pioneered by Greece and Italy, and against protests from Washington, Europe is gradually also becoming part of China’s BRI. Predictably, new alliances will emerge and that with the idea of a multi-polar world. Both Beijing and Moscow have been propagating moving away from a unipolar hegemonic system towards a multi-polar world, favoring peace and cooperation.

Away from the sanction-prone west, a priority for China is also developing her own internal market and infrastructure. This has already begun, addressing primarily China’s western and north-western provinces. It is the conversion from China’s traditional vertical growth, reaching in the past at times 12% or more per year, to what is called “quality growth”, bringing about socioeconomic development to the Chinese “hinterland” – people’s wellbeing and more equilibrium of the Chinese economy, comparing the country’s eastern and western regions.
Another territorial area of contention is the South China Sea. This is nothing new. Already under Obama’s infamous “Pivot to Asia” (2012 onward) – a political disaster – he “occupied” the South China Sea with about 60% of the US navy fleet, yes, almost two thirds of US war ships were menacingly circulating and watching over Chinese movements and activities – in what is China’s historically sovereign territory. Under President Trump, the aggression has become even fiercer.
On 14 July RT reports China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian as saying to reporters that the US has been “the troublemaker and the disruptor of peace and stability in the region,”. He added, "China enjoys indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea and the islands. China's stand is based on historical facts and international law. China's sovereign rights and positions are formed in the course of history and this position has been held by Chinese Government for long.” And further, “Beijing has never sought to establish “an empire” in the region. However, he argued that China’s territorial claims and interests “have sufficient historical and legal basis,” and are legal under international law.”
What are the real bones of contention of China’s rightful territorial claims to much of the South China Sea? –There are between 42 and 70 billion barrels of oil under the South China Sea, possibly more - and close to 300 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of gas.
China is less wary about her territorial partners in the South China Sea (Brunei, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam.), than about western / NATO interference and bullying of these partners into conflicts and belligerence with China. The non-confrontational approach of China is bound to find resources sharing arrangements with these regional partners.

A key issue for the US is China’s strong currency, the yuan. The yuan is poised to gradually replace the US-dollar as a major world reserve currency. The international strength of the yuan is being enhanced by a blockchain-based and gold-backed People’s Bank of China (PBC) controlled crypto-yuan.
China’s central bank (PBC) has launched a trial run in a number of cities, including Shenzhen, Suzhou, Chengdu, and Xiong’an, of her new crypto-currency, the e-RMB (Ren Min Bi, meaning People's Money), or Yuan. So far it has been fully accepted by the people and is used virtually for everything, from salary deposits, to on-line purchases, to rent payments, street shopping and more.
Eventually the new cyber money will be rolled out internationally for trade, commodity pricing – and even to be used as a safe and stable reserve currency. The digital blockchain money assures the users total security, no interference from outside. It is a protection from ”sanctions” and arbitrary confiscation of financial assets. As such, the new cyber yuan may become an attractive international trading / transfer alternative to the US-dollar. This will add a new dimension to China’s economic strength. Not only will her economy soon outrank that of the United States, the yuan may also gradually become one of the main reserve currencies of the world.
With sanctions and threats of war – from trade, to biological, to cyber, to hard warfare by missiles and bombs – China is once again on her way to a new autonomy, a trustworthy Asian market – even including Australia and Japan – as well as a large potential internal market. The west, the US and Europe, may continue to depend on China’s supply chains, but these can no longer be used as instruments for sanctions and coercion.
China is embedded in a solid alliance with Russia and in a strategic coalition with the SCO. In addition, President Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative – BRI, or also called the New Silk Road – is about to become the world’s economic development revolution of the 21st Century. In this sense, China will continue to relentlessly work in a non-aggression style forward, towards a world community with a shared future for mankind.
