China’s Friends Are Few and Unreliable – My Comments

Video & Audio: What is a Jew? Are Jews a Religion or a Race or both?
When one is trying to educate other Whites about Jews, you get people turning around and saying that Jews are only a religion. But others think that Jews might be a race. In this video I discuss the confusion relating to Jews when one speaks to other Whites.
[This is a Rand view of the Chinese situation. I think it is a bit over optimistic with regard to the US position. The USA buys friends through money and power. Notice one interesting thing: All the countries that were linked together during the Cold War, STICK TOGETHER … even now. Russia and China were the two Jewish communist powers facing the West. North Vietnam, Cambodia and others are states where communists came to power. I think that the US is not fully as effective as is described here. HOWEVER, I do think that there are truths in here, that China is not as awesome as Jews and Liberals have claimed it is. I will repeat that whites as a race have a LOT of influence, even deep into non-white territories. I do find the India/China/Pakistan situation interesting. There is some truth to the notion that despite Russia's hard work on China, that the two are not always friendly. There was even a book written by an ex KGB guy, Through the Eyes of the Enemy, where he spoke about how the Chinese sent microwaves against the Russians in the Russian embassy in Beijing! He himself later died of cancer and he attributed it to the Chinese. He said many of his associated died of cancer due to that. The Chinese have never struck me as being winners, and I don't think they're that hot. I see them on a par with India to some degree. A country that could be of interest to whites might be Pakistan. But check out this assessment. The bottom line is that Jewish Globalism and Jewish nonsense about the death of the West and the USA … IS A LOAD OF GARBAGE!!! And, remember, Europe is getting stronger! Jan]
Amid escalating competition, China and the United States are actively shoring up their diplomatic relationships in the Indo-Pacific and beyond. Such partnerships confer significant advantages, from military base access to favorable political outcomes, as well as potential trade opportunities.
Despite the Trump administration’s threats of trade war and questioning of U.S. alliances, the United States has fared quite well diplomatically. The United States has deepened ties with its Indo-Pacific treaty allies—Australia, Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Thailand—even if Manila and Bangkok have flirted with Beijing.
Washington has made headway with India, upgraded its unofficial partnership with Taiwan, stepped up engagement of Pacific Island countries, and is competitive throughout most of Southeast Asia. America’s Indo-Pacific vision of keeping the region free and open has also resonated with friendly Western European countries, like France, Germany, and the U.K. The United States has further multilateralized coordination with partners as well. Just this past week, in Tokyo, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met his counterparts from Australia, India, and Japan for the latest Quad discussions, and though left unstated, it is clear that pushing back against China topped their agenda.
China, by contrast, has undermined trust with its neighbors in recent years. Its belligerent tone, muscular foreign policy, and near-constant saber rattling have won it no new friends. China maintains zero alliances, and its partnerships are mostly with pariah states that are unreliable, unimportant, or both.
Take Russia, for example, China’s most powerful friend. Since Chinese President Xi Jinping came to power in 2012, he and Russian President Vladimir Putin have met dozens of times. Xi even referred to Putin at one point as “my best, most intimate friend.” The two countries share many interests, most notably the promotion of authoritarianism over the West’s democratic rules-based order. Russia is also reflexively opposed to U.S. interests, which fits China’s needs nicely.
China maintains zero alliances, and its partnerships are mostly with pariah states that are unreliable, unimportant, or both.
But even as China and Russia have steadily enhanced their security cooperation through military exchanges, secret agreements, and joint exercises, as well as technical and defense industrial coordination, they remain deeply suspicious of each other.
Moscow is uncomfortable with Beijing’s growing influence in the former Soviet republics in Central Asia and with Chinese sovereignty claims in the South China Sea. It would prefer China stay out of the Arctic. Further, Russia gives military arms and support to Vietnam and India—both wary of China.
Shortly after China fought with India in June along their disputed border in the Himalayas, Moscow postponed—or canceled—an S-400 surface-to-air missile deal with Beijing. In other words, Moscow at times appears to be working against Beijing’s interests. And with no security alliance in place, Beijing should not expect Moscow’s assistance if ever attacked.
North Korea is the only country that has something akin to a security alliance with China. In 1961, the two nations signed the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance that obligates China to intervene on North Korea’s behalf if attacked. And yet, Xi only met Kim Jong Un for the first time in March 2018—an encounter clearly prompted by Kim’s planned summit with President Donald Trump a few months later. The two leaders hardly see eye to eye. Xi likely finds Kim too reckless with nuclear and ballistic missile tests and ungrateful of Chinese support.
Kim probably engages the United States in part hoping to one day lessen his country’s economic dependence on China. Unable to control Kim, China gets minimal geostrategic value for the liability that is North Korea. The 1961 treaty is up for renegotiation next year, and the outcome should shed light on the current health of their relationship.
China often promotes its “all-weather” partnership with Pakistan, which Beijing has supported since the Cold War to keep India distracted. In recent years, Islamabad has helped Beijing prevent perceived terrorists in Pakistan and Afghanistan from crossing into China. In return, Pakistan has sought Chinese recognition of its claims in Kashmir.
But Pakistan offers no tangible benefits in China’s great-power competition against the United States. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor—the multibillion-dollar flagship infrastructure project of Beijing’s Belt and Road Initiative—is likely unaffordable for Islamabad. And while Pakistan’s location along the Indian Ocean would normally be a huge asset, its main port of Gwadar has never materialized into a naval base.
China’s best friend in Southeast Asia is Cambodia. Prime Minister Hun Sen was the first foreign leader to visit China after the pandemic began, and Cambodia has staunchly stood by China’s sovereignty claims in the South China Sea. Cambodia benefits from Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative, and Beijing is reportedly constructing military bases at Ream and Dara Sakor.
If Beijing gets access to them, then that would significantly extend the ranges and multidirectional threat of Chinese military operations, probably making Cambodia China’s most useful geostrategic partner. Commercial imagery shows that Cambodia recently razed a U.S. naval facility at Ream, suggesting Beijing is set to benefit. But for now, at least, Hun Sen refuses to even acknowledge that China is building bases because it violates the Cambodian constitution. Phnom Penh might not be too keen on granting access to something that should not exist in the first place. Thus, the story is unfinished and should be watched closely.
Either way, compared to the United States, China’s friends are certainly not as numerous, nor are they as reliable. That is a major challenge for Beijing as great-power competition continues to ramp up.
Audio: JEWS108: Jews are MANAGERS (Strategists), Whites are WORKERS, Soldiers, Scientists Tacticians
This is a follow up video from How Jews Think. In this video I discuss the class warfare of the Jews as an upper class with a work outlook of Managment versus whites, who almost universally are some form of High Quality Worker. I look at the different outlooks of these two groups and then examine the resulting clashes between then.
