Better the evil you know – or not?

-

REPORTS on CNN, BBC, RT and Al Jazeera are becoming bizarre.

A recent report on Al Jazeera by Australian journalist John Pilger suggests the USA and allies are preparing for a war with China.

The USA has monitored China’s economic and military progress with anxiety. China’s manipulati­on of its own currency and global markets through various deceptive schemes is problemati­c. Since China is not aggressive in approach, China does not openly engage in talks of regime change or human rights.

China operates with stealth to secure benefits. Example: it sells any product to any nation at a lower price than the local industry can produce. Afterwards, it increases its price when the local producer is ruined. Following this economic strategy, a godless communist regime has crushed Western capitalism.

The USA owes trillions of dollars in foreign debt which is difficult to pay back under the current economic conditions. Thus the USA must deploy sanctions and other mechanisms to subvert China.

Sadly, the USA’s pursuit of war is historical­ly an extension of its economic strategy. The USA’s greed for constant global power and need to reduce China’s influence is critical. Ironically the “Islamic” threat has quietly taken a back seat as China moves forward as the “latest” threat.

The “Kung-flu” slurs are not without purpose. President Donald Trump knows what he’s doing when he blames China for the origin and spread of Covid-19. The agenda is to create clear lines of propaganda between his “white” support base and the “foreign Asian” threat.

The “democracy issue” in Hong Kong is a possible catalyst to be used by the USA. Also, the US’s hasty concern for Muslims in China is “seemingly” valued by CNN and BBC. Ironically, the USA has never had concern for China’s Muslims until it fitted a specific agenda.

Is it better to live with the evil you know or the evil you don’t know? Nations will soon have to choose between China and the USA.
