It is still amazing to me how much focus people around the world (and especially westerners) pay to "China, China!". In the immortal and adapted/changed words
of George Carlin:
"Save the Chinese and safe us from the Chinese! Leave them the Fu*** alone, haven't we done enough! Interfering with the self-determination of other peoples/nations? It is just one more arrogant attempt of humans to control nature and free will, it is arrogant. Meddling is what got us into trouble in the first place, doesn't anybody understand that!?! Interfering with nature (free will). We are so self-important."
By the way, that is the whole point of what Putin is doing internationally as well: Respecting the free will of other nations/cultures while fighting against aggressive bully behaviors. I think Putin basically nailed "the China problem" on the head recently in the Tucker interview by saying that it is just another boogeyman story.
It is amazing how obsessed many westerners (and in particular Americans) are with China, and the internal affairs of that nation and other foreign countries in general. Why? The typical distraction that was always used throughout history is at work: point the finger at someone else for what YOU ARE DOING so that your own population doesn't concentrate on the real problems at home with their own leaders. And it's also amazing how many people still can't understand the simple distinction between an aggressor and the aggressed, and the resulting distinction between an action and a reaction. One of the
latest interviews with Weinstein and Tucker is a good example of that:
Weinstein discovered a camp apparently composed of "only Chinese man" that "seemed rather hostile towards Americans", near the Darien Gap, who "were mostly not willing to talk at all" and possibly "funded by the communist party of China" in order to probably "invade the US" through the southern border in order to possibly be used as something like "sleeper cells" in the US that can be "activated later" by "the Chinese" for "nefarious reasons". Even if we assume that those assumptions are correct, it apparently never occurred to Weinstein nor to Tucker that what the US has done and is continuing to do aggressively in and around China for decades (bioweapon laps close to the borders, the South China Sea aggressions, Taiwan, the work of the CIA within the country, the Covid leak into China, to name just a few issues) might have resulted in a REACTION from the Chinese toward an AGGRESSION from the US and that what they can see in the Darien Gap might be one result of that. And that the VERY BLOODY and DESTRUCTIVE
US HISTORY over the last decades causes great and very WELL FOUNDED and JUSTIFIED concerns in other countries. Is that so hard to understand? Apparently so, for many Westerners/Americans. A bloody and expansionist history that is very different from the Chinese history in the last decades/centuries, which basically represents the exact opposite.
