Post by: LickNeckey on June 16, 2020, 10:59:47 AM
Should we be concerned about the expansion of Chinese Soft Power on the world stage?

Will the dispensation of medical supplies to combat a virus they unleashed on the planet ultimately be effective?

As I discussed in other threads that clearly mush brained Lick failed to read.    China has shipped defective medical supplies all over the planet.   For example they gave piles of crap ventilators (or sold actually in some cases) to Italy.  When the Italian government and healthcare workers tried to use the devices they discovered they were worthless.   When Italy inquired with the Chinese about the POS ventilators the CCP response was to mock them and tell them they were clueless and didn't know how to work the POS ventilators (one example).

In another case, another country, I believe it was an EU country found Chinese PPE by the truckload that was completely defective and worthless.

There's pages worth of discussion this.  But it just pisses off most of the resident ProgoNazi's.

This sounds right out of DJT's playbook. Different sides of the same coin; China and Trump. Conning, bullying, gaslighting all in the name of money, power, and control.

Yeah, I don't ever want to walk into a hospital and see a Trump Ventilator, man.

I suppose we could elect a guy like ChiCom Joe and go back to wrecking 3rd world countries full of brown people, and shaking down other countries for personal financial gain by using U.S. taxpayer funds in a carrot and stick scenario.   You know, things like that (FYI, the Ukrainians just reeled in a $6 million dollar bribe attempt to stop the investigation of Burisma, I think Romney's piss boy is still on the Burisma board).

The "joke" going around about Xi is that he's a reincarnation of Yuan Shikai who attempted to make himself emperor.

The other line of discussion is the Han Chinese ethnic majority believes it is superior not only to the other indigenous populations of China, but to the rest of the world at large.

I want to thank the U.S. State Departments for reminding me that not only did Vlad Putin repeatedly windmill on the Obama/Biden Administration.   That President Xi and the CCP also repeatedly windmilled on the Obama/Biden administration.

President and Vice President Stand Down took a policy of "non interference" relative to the Arbitral Tribunal decision of July 2016 in which the tribunal rejected the CCP's claims to the South China Sea.     The Aritral Tribunals rulings are final and not appealable.   In essence President and Vice President Stand Down asserted the the United States would do nothing to stop the CCP's ridiculous maritime and territorial claim to the region. 

The U.S. has now re-asserted itself as now being in full support of the Tribunals decision.

President and Vice President Stand Down:  A complete and total foreign policy disaster.

Going to need SD to tell me how real the possibility is of the international community moving away from USD as the global currency anchor before I panic.  If the USA getting its own “digital dollar” is paramount to keeping our global standard I think we are mumped considering the position of both presidential candidates and the rest of our elderly congress.

You’re pretty safe at the moment. A Trump second term and I’d start buying more BTC but still relatively safe. Nobody is using a govt manipulated currency value as their basis. And despite our current manipulation we are still pretty tame. Trump may turn the screws on that more though. “digital dollar” doesn’t make sense because it’s already digital.

“I believe a rising China is an incredibly positive development”. ChiCom Joe Biden

Now:  Industrial espionage, currency manipulation, intellectual property theft, Hong Kong, threatening Taiwan, buying up strategic properties all across the globe, a second in command and in line to replace Xi individual who believes he is the next Stalin, imposing sovereignty on the South China Sea, Belt and Road, China 2025 which seeks to place China as the preeminent manufacturer of technology in the world etc etc etc.

But hey who cares if (for example) one of the first phone calls Chi Ping Patrick Ho makes after being arrested for bribery by the FBI is to James Biden, ChiCom Joe’s brother.

The Bank of China and thus the Chinese Communist Party owns the Biden family.

Seems like a good place for this from the wsj:

Chinese officials and scientists provided their own extensive summaries and analysis of data on the cases, said the WHO team members. They also supplied aggregated data and analysis on retrospective searches through medical records in the months before the Wuhan outbreak was identified, saying that they had found no evidence of the virus.

But the WHO team wasn’t allowed to view the raw underlying data on those retrospective studies, which could allow them to conduct their own analysis on how early and how extensively the virus began to spread in China, the team members said. Member states typically provide such data—anonymized, but disaggregated so investigators can see all other relevant details on each case—as part of WHO investigations, said team members.

“They showed us a couple of examples, but that’s not the same as doing all of them, which is standard epidemiological investigation,” said Dominic Dwyer, an Australian microbiologist on the WHO team. “So then, you know, the interpretation of that data becomes more limited from our point of view, although the other side might see it as being quite good.”

China’s National Health Commission and foreign ministry didn’t respond to requests for comment.

The refusal of the Chinese authorities to provide raw, personalized data on the 174 early Covid-19 cases, and on potential earlier cases such as pneumonia patients in the months before December 2019, led to heated discussions between the WHO team and their Chinese counterparts during the mission, said Dr. Dwyer.

“Sometimes emotions have run really high,” Thea Fischer, a Danish epidemiologist among the WHO investigators, said on Tuesday. “I am a scientist and I trust data. I trust documented evidence based on data, I don’t just trust what anyone tells me

Massive pollution creator-China:

Nearly 75% of the world's lithium battery production-China (US-12%)

China:  Buying lithium mines in Bolivia and Australia (at this point, China basically owns everything important in that country)  Heavy metal and similar mining is so very very good for the environment.

Approximately 80% of the global supply of refined Cobalt:  Owned by China

iPOTUS Joe and his CIA nominee say they're going to give China the ol what for, we'll see.

On this basis, we can calmly and actively manage divergences with Washington to avoid a minor incident sparking a war. US hostility toward China is burning. We must use our strength, and consequences that Washington cannot afford to bear if it takes risky moves, to keep them sober.

The CCP mouthpiece publication also said the other day that Australia is weak and that Australia will be the first country China takes out when they eventually move to take Taiwan.

China is also reportedly searching for an Atlantic based warm naval port.   Likely in Africa (just as the U.S. moves back into the quagmire that Obama created in Libya).
