BRICS: Laying the Foundations of the Next Empire?

The launch of a constitutional committee that is expected shortly will be a crucial stage on this path, the Russian diplomat stressed.

RIO DE JANEIRO, July 26, 2019 - Moscow urges all partners in the BRICS group of nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) to take part in work towards post-war restoration of Syria, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a BRICS foreign ministerial session on Friday.

"It is crucially important to support the processes of Syria’s post-conflict restoration. We urge participation in this activity and note in this connection efforts taken by our Chinese and Indian friends," the Russian diplomat said.

The main tasks for the settlement in the Arab republic are restoration of sovereignty and territorial integrity, extermination of the remaining terrorists, assistance in the return of refugees with an advance of the political process led by the Syrians themselves in line with Resolution 2254 of the UN Security Council, Lavrov reiterated.

"The launch of a constitutional committee that is expected shortly will be a crucial stage on this path," the top diplomat stressed.

Indian Firms Signed Contracts To Receive Export Payments From Russia in Yuan: Pharma CEO

By Rishikesh Kumar - 30.06.2022
A large Indian pharmaceutical delegation will visit Russia in July. It looks to explore business opportunities, including investment options to establish Indian firms as reliable partners in the $20 billion Russian pharmaceutical market. Russia is the fourth-largest export destination for India's pharma industry.

Sputnik spoke with Dr. D. B. Bhaaskara, CEO of the multinational company Roerich Healthcare, about the current state of pharma trade with Russia.

Sputnik: Can you explain the current state of pharma supplies to Russia?

D. B. Bhaaskara:
Currently, pharmaceutical shipments of Indian firms to Russia are at the same level even after the sanctions. But, there are many proposals (supplies) that Russians are not getting from the European Union. Russians are looking for these materials (chemicals, excipients, APIs [Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients]) with several Indian manufacturers. They have to develop links with Indian firms. There are many proposals from Russia - these proposals are under consideration from the Indian side.

Sputnik: There were reports of delayed payments from Russia initially after sanctions. As we see, trade has jumped manifold in the energy and fertilizer sectors. Do you think payment issues have been resolved in other sectors as well?

D. B. Bhaaskara:
Several Indian companies have signed contracts in yuan, which means they are ready to receive payment in China's yuan. Still, the preferred mode of settlement is in the Indian rupee. As export procedures closed successfully in USD/euro/INR, Russians set aside yuan contracts.
My company is receiving regular payment without any delay in Indian rupees or USD or sometimes in euros.

Sputnik: What about logistical issues, as sanctions hit the shipping sector?

D. B. Bhaaskara:
The logistical issues are still there because few airlines — namely Aeroflot, Emirates, Qatar, and Turkish — are available for transportation. Transportation costs are slightly high because of no regular cargo consignments. They vary between $8-12 per kg compared to $5 per kg in a normal situation.

Cargo sea shipment is still in a mess. The only port in Gujarat accepts Russian shipping. Here again, the container price is very, very high. We have to pay anything between $9,000 - 12,000 for a container. When there was no conflict or sanctions, it was $2,500 per container.
We have tried to send our shipments via Iran. So, from Gujarat port, the shipment reaches an Iranian port, and from there, it goes via road or rail to Moscow. But, it is taking a much longer time. In general, it is supposed to arrive in 30-40 days, but on an experimental basis, some companies sent their materials via the Iran route, [and they are] still on their way even after two months.
Shanghai is very crowded and has also been hit by the pandemic, making it unsuitable for us. So, the only problem right now is logistics; there is no payment issue.

Some Russian companies have an account with European banks operating in Russia dealing in oil and gas payments. Those banks are being used to send money anywhere worldwide, even with sanctions.

Sputnik: Western firms intended to withdraw their operations in Russia in response to Moscow's special military operation. Do you see some significant investments from Indian pharma companies in Russia to fill the vacuum created by the west?

D. B. Bhaaskara:
There are long-pending proposals from a couple of governors, such as [in] Volgograd and Kazan, inviting India's major pharma companies to set up manufacturing units in their region. But, due to the pandemic, nothing moved ahead.

A delegation will be going to Russia to explore the opportunities in Russia in July. A few Indian companies, such as Sun Pharma and Advance Pharma, have manufacturing units in Russia doing finished formulations.

Hopefully, some new companies are interested in setting up units there now. But, Russia is looking to scale up raw material manufacturing, e.g., API. For this, much homework related to regulation should be done between the two governments, especially under sanctions.

Also, big companies such as Sun Pharma, Aurbindo, and Dr. Reddy, all with significant exposure to the US market, may try to avoid investing in Russia because they are scared of the risk associated with sanctions.

Medium-scale companies can come forward to set up raw material (API) manufacturing in Russia. However, it is unclear whether Indian workers/professionals can go and work in Russia. Setting up a new unit in unknown topography with a different language and culture is a little complicated. A lot of these questions are unanswered.

 
Good summary of the state BRICS outlined in this article from last week. More reach than The G7 and the mention of Mexico as a potential candidate seems to coincide with the US’ saber rattling non-sense toward them:

The BRICS Has Overtaken The G7 In Global GDP​



The BRICS currently include Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, while the G7 includes Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States, as well as the European Union.

The BRICS is also expanding – Bangladesh, Egypt and the UAE have all just joined the BRICS New Development Bank, with numerous other countries poised to do the same.

A real shake up is also to be expected these coming days with Mexico, long part of the North American free trade bloc NAFTA (now superseded by the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) agreement) poised to join BRICS. That will be seen as a direct affront to Mexico’s US relations and a sign that global economies, even on America’s border, are having serious doubts about the US ability to trade on fair and equal terms.

The current BRICS five now contribute 31.5% of global GDP, while the G7 share has fallen to 30%. The BRICS is expected to contribute over 50% of global GDP by 2030
, with the proposed enlargement almost certainly bringing that forward. China’s GDP actually overtook that of the United States in 2015 when comparing economies in purchasing parity terms.

This will usher in significant global changes – exactly the sentiment that Chinese President Xi Jinping stated in his parting words to Russian President Vladimir Putin as he departed Moscow back to Beijing following their summit last week. The main issue is that the BRICS grouping – including proposed new members – are very much in China and Russia’s orbit, with the G7, including the EU and United States losing tractional influence among them.

That has been down to numerous issues, including an overall mistrust of the United States foreign policy, a desire to ring-fence against sanctions by creating an alternative trade bloc to the G7, what is seen as EU greed in global markets, and long-held animosity against various European legacies from colonial times.

It can also be expected to usher in the much-discussed change from a unilateral global base, led by the United States, to a multipolar one, led by the major BRICS economies. With China’s Xi Jinping having just visited Russia, and Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva due in Beijing this week, the BRICS is going through changes in terms of importance and global reach.

This will, commencing from now, lead to greater insistence from the BRICS in insisting upon reforms within multiple global institutions, where they feel they are under-represented. These include the structure of the United Nations, shareholdings in the World Bank and IMF, and membership and renewal in terms of strengthening global bodies such as the WTO and WHO. This can be expected to be slow to begin with but develop into increasing pressure upon the G7 to relinquish control. The geopolitical battlefield for the rest of this decade is going to become increasingly partisan, with the danger of global divisions occurring unless the West can find ways to accommodate both China, Russia and the now Western ambivalent new global order that is currently coalescing.

Plus, Russia UN Envoy discusses BRICS de-dollarization:


Video from TG post:
 
This article gives a list of the new candidate countries for BRICS and also all of the separate trade treaties interlinking them all. Shows pretty much why sanctioning any country could be pretty useless and regardless of whether a country is a sanctioner or a sanctionee it would still be probable that sanctions could be circumvented by shipping via 3rd party countries.

The New Candidate Countries For BRICS Expansion​


Nov 09, 2022Posted bySilk Road BriefingWritten byChris Devonshire-Ellis

If accepted, the new proposed BRICS members would create an entity with a GDP 30% larger than the United States, over 50% of the global population and in control of 60% of global gas reserves.

By Chris Devonshire-Ellis
The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov has stated that ‘over a dozen’ countries have formally applied to join the BRICS grouping following the groups decision to allow new members earlier this year. The BRICS currently includes Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
It is not a free trade bloc, but members do coordinate on trade matters and have established a policy bank, the New Development Bank, (NDB) to coordinate infrastructure loans. That was set up in 2014 in order to provide alternative loan mechanisms from the IMF and World Bank structures, which the members had felt had become too US-centric. The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) was set up by China at about the same time for largely the same reasons and to offer alternative financing than that provided by the IMF and World Banks, which were felt to impose political reform policies designed to assist the United States in return for providing loans. Both the NDB and AIIB banks are Triple A rated and capitalised at US$100 billion. The NDB bank shares are held equally by each of the five members. In total, the BRICS grouping as it currently stands accounts for over 40% of the global population and nearly a quarter of the world’s GDP. The GDP figure is expected to double to 50% of global GDP by 2030. Expanding BRICS will immediately accelerate that process.
Proposed-BRICS-Expansion.jpg

Concerning a BRICS expansion, Lavrov stated that Algeria, Argentina, and Iran had all applied, while it is already known that Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Egypt and Afghanistan are interested, along with Indonesia, which is expected to make a formal application to join at the upcoming G20 summit in Bali.
Other likely contenders for membership include Kazakhstan, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Senegal, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates. All had their Finance Ministers present at the BRICS Expansion dialogue meeting held in May.
We can examine the basic economic data of the proposed new BRICS members as follows. GDP figures given are nominal, 2022 growth rates are based on the first 9 months of the year from data issued by the respective Central Banks.

Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world, shattered by decades of war. Yet maintaining peace and rebuilding infrastructure and regional trade connectivity are crucial to the development of Central Asia, and Afghanistan’s membership of an expanded BRICS will provide much needed additional security. The United States has frozen all Afghani assets held overseas for reparations for 9-11, joining BRICS will give it access to new funding and redevelopment sources.
Afghanistan is an observer state to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation which includes China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as full members, while Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, Cambodia, Egypt, Kuwait, Maldives, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Turkiye, Turkmenistan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are all in various status as SCO dialogue partners and observers.

Summary​

An expanded BRICS including the nations above together with Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa would possess about 45% of known global oil reserves and over 60% of all known global gas reserves. Its combined GDP as at today would amount to USD29.35 trillion, making it considerably larger than the United States economy at USD23 trillion and double that of the European Union’s USD14.5 trillion.
The new members identified above would add just under 1 billion consumers to the BRICS+ family, for a total of 4.257 billion, or just over 50% of the total global population in 2022.
Of note as concerns the new prospective members are the apparent qualifying criteria: possession of large volumes of global natural resources. I have indicated the energy plays, however these also extend to majority possession of nearly all global resources, including precious metals, rare earths, other rare minerals, energy resources such as coal and solar power, timber, agricultural land, fisheries, and fresh water.
Soft power also resides in the numerous political and trade blocs that permeate amongst members, key among them being the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, along with strategic OPEC decision makers. Hand in hand with these are significant free trade blocs: ASEAN, Mercosur, the Gulf Cooperation Council, the Arab Trade Zone, Eurasian Economic Union and the African Continental Free Trade Area in addition to RCEP and to a lesser degree, the regional politically influential ALBA and SAARC.
Such a grouping is geo-physically diverse as well, with BRICS+ potential members able to wield considerable influence in their own backyard: Argentina, and Brazil in Latin America, Nicaragua in Central America, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the UAE in MENA, Nigeria, Senegal and South Africa in Africa, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan and Russia in Central Asia, India, Indonesia and Thailand from South East Asia, and China in East Asia. All of course are members of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and likely to influence other regional BRI countries in due course. Many other nations have signed BRI agreements and have increasingly close trade ties with China and Russia. That means these additional future potential candidates could be expected to later include:
Central America: Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama
Latin America: Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela
Caucasus: Azerbaijan
Central Asia
: Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan
South Asia: Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam
Readers can make up their own minds concerning the implications of the development of the BRICS+ group and the impact on global trade – and future supply chains. However, it is apparent that while the current focus has been on the shifts created by the West’s imposition of sanctions on Russia, and trade sanctions upon China (including semiconductors) a rather more significant change in global trade and supply chains has been simultaneously occurring – and one likely to have even more profound implications.

The problem is you still have the motherWEFers in bed with the CCP. This goes back to the infamous 1971 Kissinger (<- KM) and Mao Zedong meeting. Not long after this started the mass transfer (theft) of western technology, factories, jobs --- done by the various US Presidents and accomplices since then.

This also gets into a complicated area - the KM always have to move the 'reserve currency' every 100-years ago and they wanted to move it to China *AND* change the game to complete control (Great Reset). That way with digital ration coupons (CBDC) they do not require this elaborate hoax - they can isolate and instantly kill anyone they require with a touch of a button.

Under the new system they won't require a currency (only digital ration coupons), no one except the elite will own anything (no house, car, property, clothes, household items..), everything is by digital coupons for that day (if you're social credit/mobility/carbon scores are high enough, thoughts are monitored and monetized, there will be no families or children, friends or communities so there won't be any threats to the control system. In the west they are known as '15-minute' cities (depopulation centers is more like it).

If you listen to the speeches from the Chinese generals the plan is to kill of the population of certain nations using bio-weapons (US, Canada, Aussieland..) and then resettle it with Han-Chinese. They can't use nucs for obvious reasons, they need the land. Or as the General in a speech put it, they need to reduce their population by 50%.

The only 'fly in the ointment' as it were, while the motherWEF'ers want to kill 94-97% of the global population the CCP wants a Han-Chinese world, so I suspect at some point the knives will come out once the US/EU/Canada/Aussieland are no longer a threat to them.


On the terms, BRICS (really BRIICS+) is a 2001 MARKETING TERM from Goldman Sachs though they have started to run with it the past decade or so.

It's really the "China- Russia Northern Hemispheric Trade Zone", or, "Belt and Road" (which likley goes back to the 1971 meeting between the ZM and the CCP.

It really gets into 1961's ASEAN (now ASEAN+10), 2001's SCO, and 2020's RCEP.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
RCEP = Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP
SCO = Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

While it could be positive (it was a reason I moved to the Asian area from Canada in the 1990s, I was following this carefully back then) the issue is the CBDC, depopulation of 94-97% of life, the replacement of the 3-6% remaining by semi-synthetics, the 15-minute prison gulags and the same BS as is happening in the west and all over.

No matter where you are and under what system without removing this global control structure it's very bleak.

Well, a lot has happened since Kissinger and Mao, no? I'm no sinologist, but one biggie is that the Chinese have expelled Soros, who likely had a had in Tiananmen Square. I think that really woke them up. I watched this video below recently, and I'm not so sure that the WEF and the CCP are very closely aligned.

Under the new system they won't require a currency (only digital ration coupons), no one except the elite will own anything (no house, car, property, clothes, household items..), everything is by digital coupons for that day (if you're social credit/mobility/carbon scores are high enough, thoughts are monitored and monetized, there will be no families or children, friends or communities so there won't be any threats to the control system. In the west they are known as '15-minute' cities (depopulation centers is more like it).

If you listen to the speeches from the Chinese generals the plan is to kill of the population of certain nations using bio-weapons (US, Canada, Aussieland..) and then resettle it with Han-Chinese. They can't use nucs for obvious reasons, they need the land. Or as the General in a speech put it, they need to reduce their population by 50%.

Interesting... could you provide a source or some quotes of the Chinese generals? This would be big news in the West, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it. Was this recent?

The only 'fly in the ointment' as it were, while the motherWEF'ers want to kill 94-97% of the global population the CCP wants a Han-Chinese world, so I suspect at some point the knives will come out once the US/EU/Canada/Aussieland are no longer a threat to them.


On the terms, BRICS (really BRIICS+) is a 2001 MARKETING TERM from Goldman Sachs though they have started to run with it the past decade or so.

It's really the "China- Russia Northern Hemispheric Trade Zone", or, "Belt and Road" (which likley goes back to the 1971 meeting between the ZM and the CCP.

It really gets into 1961's ASEAN (now ASEAN+10), 2001's SCO, and 2020's RCEP.

ASEAN = Association of Southeast Asian Nations
RCEP = Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP
SCO = Shanghai Cooperation Organisation

While it could be positive (it was a reason I moved to the Asian area from Canada in the 1990s, I was following this carefully back then) the issue is the CBDC, depopulation of 94-97% of life, the replacement of the 3-6% remaining by semi-synthetics, the 15-minute prison gulags and the same BS as is happening in the west and all over.

The C's have said that their plans will fail, in large part due to the wishful thinking that is essential to psychopaths. One main example of this that I've been thinking about is how the Western pathocrats - mostly in the US - look to be intentionally destroying their own infrastructure and productive industry. They're also destroying the capacity for productivity of their own population with dumbed-down education.

All of this is happening while the military hardware stockpiles of the collective West is being annihilated by Russia. Yet the neocons somehow think they can take on China with their very disabled industrial base and fewer and fewer weapons - and of those depleted weapons, their stuff is already less advanced than one of their main adversaries! I think Russia, China and Iran all have hypersonics now. As I see it, their only tools left are the tools of the weak - propaganda, proxy war, and terrorism, which they may try to roll out.

It could be that the self-destruction of the US is part of the plan, and that China has been selected to be the next global tyrant by the 'hidden hand' of the PTB. It's definitely possible. With over a billion people in China, there's probably many psychopaths who live there, biding their time, sharpening their knives - and these forces may be given a major boost of some sort (maybe even from higher sources of darkness) to try to bring about the process of ponerization as described by Lobaczewski.

Everything I've seen of China so far (mainly from authors like Michael Hudson and Andrew Korybko) is that while far from a perfect society, their system seems set up to prevent a parasitic financial elite from taking power, is focused on domestic investment and improving the living conditions of their population, plus research and development, and their foreign policy stresses peace, diplomacy and trade. BRICS (soon the be BRIICSS+) seems to agree on this foreign policy mandate. It would have to be quite a coup to turn China & the BRICS, into a something like Team America World Police & the G7.

Another major reason given as to why their plans will fail is Earth Changes. It could be that psychos in China (or everywhere) will try to take advantage of the disruption caused by Earth Changes... but then again, that may be wishful thinking on their part, too. The C's have said that the Earth changes cause the PTB plans to fail, and I would guess that this would be inclusive of any plans brewing for China or anywhere else, not just the US.

No matter where you are and under what system without removing this global control structure it's very bleak.

Yeah, I hear ya. It can sure appear that way... but no one knows what will actually happen. I think the future is pretty open in many ways. And as the C's said, change will follow. Might I recommend a romance novel? I've found them to be really good for the Soul, take my mind off the state of the world for a while, read about love's triumph in the face of intense adversity, learn about relationship dynamics and karma, and cultivate some faith in the universe. It's a really wonderful project.

Comrade Chi Haotian
Vice-Chairman of China's Military Commission
to Top Officers and Generals


"Comrades, I'm very excited today, because the large-scale online survey sina.com that was done for us showed that our next generation is quite promising and our Party's cause will be carried on. In answering the question, "Will you shoot at women, children and prisoners of war," more than 80 per cent of the respondents answered in the affirmative, exceeding by far our expectations. Today I'd like to focus on why we asked sina.com to conduct this online survey among our people. My speech today is a sequel to my speech last time, during which I started with a discussion of the issue of the three islands [Taiwan, Diaoyu Islands and the Spratley Islands --- Ott] and mentioned that 20 years of the idyllic theme of 'peace and development' had come to an end, and concluded that modernization under the saber is the only option for China's next phase. I also mentioned we have a vital stake overseas. The central issue of this survey appears to be whether one should shoot at women, children and prisoners of war, but its real significance goes far beyond that. Ostensibly, our intention is mainly to figure out what the Chinese people's attitude towards war is: If these future soldiers do not hesitate to kill even noncombatants, they'll naturally be doubly ready and ruthless in killing combatants. Therefore, the responses to the survey questions may reflect the general attitude people have towards war..We wanted to know: If China's global development will necessitate massive deaths in enemy countries; will our people endorse that scenario? Will they be for or against it?

The fact is, our 'development' refers to the great revitalization of the Chinese nation, which, of course, is not limited to the land we have now but also includes the whole world. As everybody knows, according to the views propagated by the Western scholars, humanity as a whole originated from one single mother in Africa. Therefore no race can claim racial superiority. However, according to the research conducted by most Chinese scholars, the Chinese are different from other races on earth. We did not originate in Africa. Instead, we originated independently in the land of China. Therefore, we can rightfully assert that we are the product of cultural roots of more than a million years, civilization and progress of more than ten thousand years, an ancient nation of five thousand years, and a single Chinese entity of two thousand years. This is the Chinese nation that calls itself 'descendants of Yan and Huang.'

During our long history, our people have disseminated throughout the Americas and the regions along the Pacific Rim, and they became Indians in the Americas and the East Asian ethnic groups in the South Pacific. We all know that on account of our national superiority, during the thriving and prosperous Tang Dynasty our civilization was at the peak of the world. We were the centre of the world civilization, and no other civilization in the world was comparable to ours. Later on, because of our complacency, narrow-mindedness, and the self-enclosure of our own country, we were surpassed by Western civilization, and the centre of the world shifted to the West.

In reviewing history, one may ask: Will the centre of the world civilization shift back to China? Actually, Comrade Liu Huaqing made similar points in early 1980's Based on an historical analysis, he pointed out that the centre of world civilization is shifting. It shifted from the East to Western Europe and later to the United States; now it is shifting back to the East. Therefore, if we refer to the 19th Century as the British Century and the 20th century as the American Century, then the 21st Century will be the Chinese Century! (Wild applause fills the auditorium.)

Our Chinese people are wiser than the Germans because, fundamentally, our race is superior to theirs. As a result, we have a longer history, more people, and larger land area. On this basis, our ancestors left us with the two most essential heritages, which are atheism and great unity. It was Confucius, the founder of our Chinese culture, who gave us these heritages. These two heritages determined that we have a stronger ability to survive than the West. That is why the Chinese race has been able to prosper for so long. We are destined 'not to be buried by either heaven or earth' no matter how severe the natural, man-made, and national disasters. This is our advantage. Take response to war as an example. The reason that the United States remains today is that it has never seen war on its mainland. Once its enemies aim at the mainland, the enemies would have already reached Washington before its congress finishes debating and authorizes the president to declare war. But for us, we don't waste time on these trivial things. Maybe you have now come to understand why we recently decided to further promulgate atheism. If we let theology from the West into China and empty us from the inside, if we let all Chinese people listen to God and follow God, who will obediently listen to us and follow us? If the common people don't believe Comrade Hu Jintao is a qualified leader, begin to question his authority, and want to monitor him, if the religious followers in our society question why we are leading God in churches, can our Party continue to rule China??

The first pressing issue facing us is living space. This is the biggest focus of the revitalization of the Chinese race. In my last speech, I said that the fight over basic living resources (including land and ocean) is the source of the vast majority of wars in history. This may change in the information age, but not fundamentally. Our per capita resources are much less than those of Germany's back then. In addition, economic development in the last twenty-plus years had a negative impact, and climates are rapidly changing for the worse. Our resources are in very short supply. The environment is severely polluted, especially that of soil, water, and air. Not only our ability to sustain and develop our race, but even its survival is gravely threatened, to a degree much greater than faced Germany back then Anybody who has been to Western countries knows that their living space is much better than ours. They have forests alongside the highways, while we hardly have any trees by our streets. Their sky is often blue with white clouds, while our sky is covered with a layer of dark haze. Their tap water is clean enough for drinking, while even our ground water is so polluted that it can't be drunk without filtering. They have few people in the streets, and two or three people can occupy a small residential building; in contrast our streets are always crawling with people, and several people have to share one room.

Many years ago, there was a book titled Yellow Catastrophes. It said that, due to our following the American style of consumption, our limited resources would no longer support the population and society would collapse once our population reaches 1.3 billion. Now our population has already exceeded this limit, and we are now relying on imports to sustain our nation. It's not that we haven't paid attention to this issue. The Ministry of Land Resources is specialized in this issue. But we must understand that the term 'living space' (lebenstraum) is too closely related to Nazi Germany.

The reason we don't want to discuss this too openly is to avoid the West's association of us with Nazi Germany, which could in turn reinforce the view that China is a threat. Therefore, in our emphasis on He Xin's new theory, 'Human Rights are just living rights' we only talk about 'living' but not 'space' so as to avoid using the term 'living space.' From the perspective of history, the reason that China is faced with the issue of living space is because Western countries have developed ahead of Eastern countries. Western countries established colonies all around the world, therefore giving themselves an advantage on the issue of living space. To solve this problem, we must lead the Chinese people outside of China, so that they can develop outside of China.

Would the United States allow us to go out to gain new living space? First, if the United States is firm in blocking us, it is hard for us to do anything significant to Taiwan and some other countries! Second, even if we could snatch some land from Taiwan, Vietnam, India, or even Japan, how much more living space can we get? Very trivial! Only countries like the United States, Canada and Australia have the vast land to serve our need for mass colonization.

Therefore, solving the 'issue of America' is the key to solving all other issues. First, this makes it possible for us to have many people migrate there and even establish another Chinaunder the same leadership of the CCP. America was originally discovered by the ancestors of the yellow race, but Columbus gave credit to the White race. We the descendants of the Chinese nation are ENTITLED to the possession of the land! It is historical destiny that China and United States will come into unavoidable confrontation on a narrow path and fight. In the long run, the relationship of China and the United States is one of a life-and-death struggle. Of course, right now it is not the time to openly break up with them yet. Our reform and opening to the outside world still rely on their capital and technology. We still need America. Therefore, we must do everything we can to promote our relationship with America, learn from America in all aspects and use America as an example to reconstruct our country. Only by using special means to 'clean up' America will we be able to lead the Chinese people there. Only by using non-destructive weapons that can kill many people will we be able to reserve America for ourselves.

There has been rapid development of modern biological technology, and new bio weapons have been invented one after another. Of course we have not been idle; in the past years we have seized the opportunity to master weapons of this kind. We are capable of achieving our purpose of 'cleaning up' America all of a sudden. When Comrade Xiaoping was still with us, the Party Central Committee had the perspicacity to make the right decision not to develop aircraft carrier groups and focused instead on developing lethal weapons that can eliminate mass populations of the enemy country. Biological weapons are unprecedented in their ruthlessness, but if the Americans do not die then the Chinese have to die. If the Chinese people are strapped to the present land, a total societal collapse is bound to take place. According to the computations of the author of Yellow Peril, more than half of the Chinese will die, and that figure would be more than 800 million people! Just after the liberation, our yellow land supported nearly 500 million people, while today the official figure of the population is more than 1.3 billion. This yellow land has reached the limit of its capacity. One day, who know how soon it will come, the great collapse will occur any time and more than half of the population will have to go.

It is indeed brutal to kill one or two hundred million Americans. But that is the only path that will secure a Chinese century, a century in which the CCP leads the world. We, as revolutionary humanitarians, do not want deaths, But if history confronts us with a choice between deaths of Chinese and those of Americans, we'd have to pick the latter, as, for us, it is more important to safeguard the lives of the Chinese people and the life of our Party. The last problem I want to talk about is of firmly seizing the preparations for military battle. The central committee believes, as long as we resolve the United States problem at one blow, our domestic problems will all be readily solved. Therefore, our military battle preparation appears to aim at Taiwan, but in fact is aimed at the United States, and the preparation is far beyond the scope of attacking aircraft carriers or satellites. Marxism pointed out that violence is the midwife for the birth of the new society. Therefore war is the midwife for the birth of China's century."


.. there's others as well. There's certain articles of war, basically one is that if a foreign power has subsumed control over most of the government that it is considered a conquered nation. No military campaigns need be fought, no bullets need go flying.

In the US, Canada, Australia and so forth the direction comes are issued from the WEF/CCP for much of the government (both sides), fed/state courts, educational (indoctrination), local/state governments and pretty much everything else They are essentially considered conquered nations.

You'll note the mRNA is NOT in the Chinese or Russian shots. Taking the C's out of the equation for a minute, the next moves would be to ignite a color-revolution in the US, riots leading to a civil war, then a CCP/Russian led invasion (perhaps next year). The US SWIFT/Petro-Dollar has already been largely removed, former allies removed from the game-board, the population and military has been successfully poisoned by the bio-weapon injections, and the US will soon be completely isolated.
* btw - Mexiso is moving to join the SCO, which is partly a military organization, which began as the "Shanghai 5" back around 1995.

The injections might have had nano-capsules and related nano-disc technology in them (shows up in the dark-field microscopy blood samples) which with a frequency/ies the contents are released. I'd watch for riots *US) this year likley started by 'banking issues' but promoted along the lines of Reds vs. Blues or Conservatives vs. Woke.
 
1. -> Everything I've seen of China so far (mainly from authors like Michael Hudson and Andrew Korybko) is that while far from a perfect society, their system seems set up to prevent a parasitic financial elite from taking power, is focused on domestic investment and improving the living conditions of their population, plus research and development, and their foreign policy stresses peace, diplomacy and trade. BRICS (soon the be BRIICSS+) seems to agree on this foreign policy mandate. It would have to be quite a coup to turn China & the BRICS, into a something like Team America World Police & the G7.

2. - > Another major reason given as to why their plans will fail is Earth Changes. It could be that psychos in China (or everywhere) will try to take advantage of the disruption caused by Earth Changes... but then again, that may be wishful thinking on their part, too. The C's have said that the Earth changes cause the PTB plans to fail, and I would guess that this would be inclusive of any plans brewing for China or anywhere else, not just the US.

With #1: The design is to isolate the WEF from the CCP - both eventually want to stab each others in the back. Both want global depopulation - the CCP for a fully Han-Chinese world and the WEF for 250-million transborggenesis slaves to serve the 'elite'. While the cooperation likley began between 1904 and 1917 when Gates (the bagman bloodline for the Rockefeller bloodline) moved to setup the Chinese Medical Board (CMB) in Peking (Shanghai) at a current cost of about 6.5-Billion (not to mention the KM funded Mao and is the force behind communism).

That said, since the Kissinger (Kazarian Mafia or KM) meetings to finalize the movement of the reserve currency status to China in 1971, the Chinese are well aware of the games and setup barriers to protect key areas. Jim Willie of the Hat Trick Letter has covered this a-lot since around 2004. Reserve currencies only last about 80-100 years before they require a major war (for cover) to setup the next fiat game board.

History-of-World-Reserve-Currencies.jpg

That said, make no mistake the SCO which started in 1995 as the "Shanghai 5" is partly military much like NATO. ASEAN which started in 1961 (ASA between 1961 and 1967) is also partly military and in fact was started to counter the influence/power of US-NATO. The "China- Russia Northern Hemispheric Trade Zone" (Belt and Road) - the overall effort - is also partly military (perhaps more then 'partly').



With #2:
In the most recent transcript I think the C;'s mentioned 80% +/- for the WEF efforts in the USofA. The transborggenesis (fusion of synthetic and biological) would fail before they complete it due to infrastructure failures. The 94% reduction in population would also fail, but no estimate how far it will get (in progress now). No mention was made by the C's of the CCP's plans.

That said, I'll add a post to the 'welcome thread' area under my name as it gets into some shifts the web-bot had for 2023/24 which may be the 'fly in the ointment' for their plans.
