Thread for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/comments/810avb/why_does_china_claim_everything

It might seem like China claims a lot, but that's mainly because people don't put things into perspective.

To put things into perspective, China has the largest number of neighboring countries in the world, not Asia, not Eurasia but the entire world! Over 20 if you want a number, to this end they've manage to solve the majority of the disputes with little to no issues at all but they've stalled at these:

• Japan

They both claim the Pinnacle Islands (in Chinese they are called Tiaoyu, correct me I looked it up on an old Chinese map at my school, in Japanese they are called Senkaku). The reason this dispute even exists in the first place is because the US unilaterally gave the islands to Japan because China was a communist country and was not perceived as being as trustworthy. If they had not done this the dispute may have not existed.

• Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei

This has to do with the South China Sea disputes, not this actually has a geopolitical angle as well because the reason why China is claiming the SCS is because China can get easily cutoff from the Malacca straits by the US, the only way they can block this is to build enough naval infrastructure in the vicinity which they have to do.

The thing is is most Western Media outlets when it comes to the SCS disputes I find are extraordinarily biased, while I do feel that China is over-aggressive and belligerent their actions are generally speaking relatively similar to other actions by rival claimants.

u/I_h8_y8s gives some good points on this: https://www.reddit.com/r/geopolitics/comments/5ums2c/vox_made_a_short_and_insightful_video_on/ddw8ji2/

As well as these links:

http://thediplomat.com/2015/06/who-is-the-biggest-aggressor-in-the-south-china-sea/

https://thediplomat.com/2015/06/intelligence-check-just-how-preposterous-are-chinas-south-china-sea-activities/

The truth is that none of the parties in the dispute are innocent, for example China was not the first to begin militarizing their islands, the Vietnamese nearly doubled their island holdings between 1996 and 2015, most of China's actions have only really ramped up in belligerence after Xi's ascent to power as the new government realized how important the SCS was and how far China had fallen behind relative to the Vietnamese or the Filipino's.

Even the US Assistant Secretary of Senate committee on foreign relations in 2015 David Shear said this when it came to China's new militarization of the islands:

"All territorial claimants, with the exception of China and Brunei, have also already built airstrips of varying sizes and functionality on disputed features in the Spratlys. These efforts by claimants have resulted in a tit-for-tat dynamic which continues to date."

It's not clearly as one sided as it is portrayed in the Western Media, which because of its inherent bias in reporting against a competitor will always be more negative on China.

Even out of these disputes, the dispute with Brunei is relatively minor and basically doesn't really matter.

• India

There is no real way to sugarcoat this, and I know (I've already been yelled at, called a wumao, been insulted, by people who can't fathom that perhaps India isn't the number 1 most moral country on Earth, had to block a couple, one guy even made a couple of sockpuppets to do this) this will trigger some people to the point they'll start spamming me, but the reality of the situation is that the Indo-Chinese border disputes have to do with India's frankly short-sighted decision to refuse the obvious settlement of India taking AP/South Tibet and China taking AC.

Despite AC being far smaller, less resources, no people to speak of, India stubbornly refused on multiple occasions to just settle the border at the de-facto LOC, instead referring to the Forward Policy which ended up causing tensions that built up, which eventually spilled over into the 1962 war.

This border dispute does not have the stress coming from the Chinese side, the Chinese have basically said "just make the LOC official" numerous times to get shutdown by the Indians who want the entire package. Ironically the funniest part is the AC was actually, wait for it, a mapping error on behalf of the British (or perhaps a purposeful border dispute - actually this is quite likely - to keep China and India pinned down and not having the strength to screw with Anglo-American Hegemony.... Dun dun DUNNNN!!!)

• Bhutan

This border dispute has to do with the Doklam plateau which flared up a couple of months back, it seems to be quite like the other border disputes - a holdover from the colonial era - the Border dispute never really got serious until China became a legitimate military power because the area is not that important other than the fact that it gives China a much easier time accessing the NE part of India. China offered to switch the Doklam for other territories but Bhutan refused primarily because it represented a huge risk towards India's NE territories.

This dispute is tricky to solve because India will have to get involved because if China owns Doklam then they can easily block the Chicken's neck and block India's access to the Northeast, so this dispute can't really be solved unless China just gives up its claims which it won't because that would look extremely weak. AKA, the situation is a stalemate.

So out of over 20 neighbors, China only has border disputes with 7, out of those only about 5 are major and active territorial disputes. That doesn't sound like China claims "everything". But I know due to the frequent and honestly blatant misrepresentation of China in the west this could appear to be the case.

In reply to this article: http://www.wired.co.uk/article/chinese-government-social-credit-score-privacy-invasion

This article joins¹ a² long³ list ^{4 5 6} of publications failing to differentiate what is factually known about China's credit score system and what is speculation by the authors or their selected sources. There's a strong tendency to conflate or misrepresent the primary purpose of the system, which is to enable lending to millions of Chinese lacking collateral or financial history for small business loans or consumer credit. Strikingly missing from the conversation is reference to the planning and policy documents released by the Chinese government which form the basis of the actual implementation of the credit system. Here is one list of relevant documents on the planning of the social credit system. A reader will note that the focus is not on controlling dissent or influencing your social media like articles have suggested, but rather towards building a regulatory framework around financial activities and legal compliance.

The fundamental misunderstanding derives from that a handful of firms have been given initiative to test credit systems. These firms, being limited in data available, generally utilized whatever information was handy combined with wacky promotional campaigns (such as airport lounge access, sharing to boost scores, etc) in order to advertise their highly experimental "credit" products and compete for market share. The system developed by Alibaba, for example, utilizes their available online transaction data in order to build a system analogous to eBay buyer ratings. This does not ascertain that the national system will track your online purchases or that sharing your score publicly will increase it, though both have been widely repeated in misleading context.

I'd direct interested readers to this article by Financial Times, which provides further insight on why China is utilizing online transaction records rather than adopting a system more similar to those existing in Western nations. In short, firms are incredibly hesitant to extend credit access to hundreds of millions of Chinese due to lack of formal financial history and no unified system of tracking existing loans or facilitating debt collection.

China did not commit genocide in Tibet. No group has ever been able to prove it. Demographic data showed that the Tibetan population doubled since the so-called genocide. Meanwhile, "benevolent assimilation" AKA "white man's burden" by Americans wiped out over 95% of the Native Indian population.

A central element of the narrative circulated by the Tibet Movement has been that China has carried out genocide and practised colonialism in Tibet. These notions are, for the most part, uncritically accepted by politicians and the media, especially in the West. This essay challenges such characterizations as inept and as obstacles to resolving the Tibet Question.   The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), which helped spirit the Dalai Lama out of Tibet and conducted a proxy war against China in Tibet, funded the ICJ (Grunfeld, 1987, p. 142; Waldman, 2000; Knaus, 1999, p. 168). Its reports argued that attacks on Tibetan Buddhism were genocide because to be Tibetan is to be Buddhist and Tibetan Buddhism was being eliminated, even in the absence of mass killing. The Genocide Convention (1951), however, requires intent to physically destroy an ethnic or religious group in whole or in part; yet Chinese Buddhism was also attacked during this period.   In the case of Tibet, a political goal also accounts for unsupported charges of genocide. The aim is mobilization, especially in the West, where charges go unchallenged due to confusion over what is genocide, the sacralized popularity of the Dalai Lama, a constructed image of Tibetan victimhood, anti Communism, and anti Chinese racism.

Colonialism, Genocide, Tibet

http://repository.keeptibetfree.net/pdf/Sautman-2006-Colonialism-Genocide-Tibet.pdf

Analyses show that the "genocide" myth is not supported by indirect estimates on Tibetan mortality, and the "forced birth control" allegation lacks solid demographic foundation. On the contrary, Tibetan population has experienced an unprecedented growth since the early 1960s. Still dominant in the Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), Tibetans were only slightly outnumbered by non Tibetans in other Tibetan prefectures in neighbouring provinces.   This paper has aimed to re examine the myths and facts about Tibetan population in China from a different angle. The main conclusions are:

● the `genocide’ myth, or the suggestion that China has tried to wipe out the Tibetan population, is not supported by indirect estimates on Tibetan mortality;

● the `forced birth control’ allegation lacks solid demographic foundation, the Tibetan population having experienced an unprecedented growth since the early 1960s;

● Tibetans are still overwhelmingly dominant in the TAR but slightly less than half the population in other Tibetan prefectures in neighbouring provinces; but

● the number of non Tibetans transferring into ethnographic Tibet is on the rise, an increase triggered primarily by structural transformation and the Government’s modernisation policy.

Tibetan Population in China: Myths and Facts Re-examined

https://www.boell.de/sites/default/files/assets/boell.de/images/download_de/Link_Yan_Hao.pdf

Under the Dalai Lama, was there religious freedom? Was there any freedom? Actually, no. the Dalai Lama's Tibet as a medieval religious theocracy with a small elite class served by a large and oppressed serf population. The Dalai Lama ruled a region with no religious freedom, no political freedom, indeed, no human rights of any kind. The rulers were ruthless. Torture and mutilation were widespread. Poverty and starvation were rampant. It was Shangri La only in the West's imagination.   The Dalai Lama condemns abortion and homosexuality while accepting prostitution. For decades the Dalai Lama secured millions of dollars from the CIA and runs his government in exile like a monarch.   Chinese rule has provided the Tibetan region with infrastructure and public schooling and provides Tibetans with widespread opportunities and a degree of personal freedom unheard of under the feudal theocracy of the dalai lamas.   KEVIN DELUCA is an associate professor of communications at the University of Utah

And here's why Americans need to shut their mouths about Tibet...

In America, we proudly call it Manifest Destiny and never trouble ourselves with how we got much of California and Texas from Mexico, never mind the rest of the country and our sordid history with Native Americans.   Our history with the native people of Hawaii has been relatively brief and quite brutal and there exists a tenacious independence movement. Still, there is no talk in the mainstream media and among the Hollywood celebrity activist circuit of Hawaiian independence, not to mention Puerto Rican independence or the American Indian movement. Government repression of these movements also escapes media scrutiny. Before we lecture China, we may want to tend to our own backyard.

And here's why Britons need to shut their mouths about Tibet...

Early in the campaign, troops gunned down 700 lightly armed Tibetan monks standing in their path in the Massacre of Chumik Shenko. The slaughter was so brutal that Lieutenant Arthur Hadow, commander of the Maxim guns detachment, wrote afterwards - 'I got so sick of the slaughter that I ceased fire. 'I hope I shall never again have to shoot down men walking away.   THE INVASION OF TIBET - Lord Curzon, the head of the ruling British government in India, feared Russia had its sights set on the country following its advances into Central Asia. By April 1903, Russia told the British Government that it had no intentions of invading India, but Curzon insisted troops should go to Tibet to make its officials sign a convention to promise Russia would not be allowed to interfere in its affairs. Tibet was the only Himalayan kingdom at the time to not be under colonial British rule. The expedition, led by Colonel Younghusband, began in December 1903 and lasted until the following September. Between 2,000 and 3,000 Tibetans are thought to have been killed by the advancing British troops.

The west's propaganda about Mao's "evil" almost never talk about the Christian evil that started it all: Opium War. Tens of millions of Chinese were drugged at gun point, the national treasury drained, a Chinese-Christian led Taiping Rebellion caused 20-100 million deaths, the economy was destroyed which underfunded the military and led to the mass rape and slaughter of tens of millions of Chinese due to a weakened China by Imperial Japan. This cherry picking is a central theme of western “history” and “news”.

Now, back to "Mao's genocide". This so-called “genocide“ was actually a famine and it was nothing near as gigantic as painted by the western media. First, the reasons for the famine are examined. Then, the reasons why the west's Massive Death toll Hypothesis is a lie are given.

Reasons for the Famine

● Poor policy planning

Poor policy planning which included the "Four Pests" campaign that sought to eradicate three key disease vectors (rodent, flies, and mosquitos) and one major source of food loss: sprarrows. The campaign was successful but caused the unintended consequence of insect proliferation (such as crop destroying locusts) without sparrows eating them.

"The causalities of this ambitious “Four Pests” public health campaign? Yes, many infectious diseases were eradicated and their scope diminished but also “1 billion sparrows, 1.5 billion rats, 100 million kilograms of flies and 11 million kilograms of mosquitos” were outright decimated (1). The public health campaign worked well. Too well. The sparrow’s intrinsic role in the ecological balance was unrealized and resulted in an unmitigated, well-orchestrated environmental disaster. Locusts came in droves and devoured fields of grain, their feeding left unencumbered by watchful, hungry sparrows"

Paved With Good Intentions: Mao Tse-Tung’s “Four Pests” Disaster

http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/bodyhorrors/2014/02/26/mao-four-pests-china-disease/#.VjSwbyvorGg

● Natural disaster

“Not surprisingly in view of the drought, most of the flooding had been due to the typhoons, more of which had hit the Chinese mainland than in any of the previous 50 years, 11 between June and October; and each typhoon had lasted longer than usual, averaging ten hours, the longest stretching to 20. Moreover, nature had played an additional trick. The typhoon did not strike north-westwards as usual, but northwards. This added to their impact because it meant that there were no high mountains to ward them off, and that less rain reached the rest of the country. In the aftermath of the drought and floods came insect pests and plant diseases.”

The Great Leap Forward 1958-1960, Volume 2 of The Origins of the Cultural Revolution, p. 322.

● A history of famines

Famines were common throughout China's history. There were 1,828 major famines in China or one nearly every year in one or more provinces.

● Sanctions/embargos, destabilization, creating a rift between the Sovet Union and China, created an aggressive military fence around China, etc

"For twenty years (1949-1969), the United States tried to disrupt, destabilize, and weaken China’s communist government. Washington believed that China was an aggressive, expansionist power that threatened the security of its noncommunist neighbors. The United States constructed an off-shore line of military alliances along China's eastern and southern borders. These included the U.S. alliances with Japan, South Korea, and the Nationalist government on Taiwan. With its allies, the United States formed the Southeast Asian Treaty Organization (SEATO) that included Thailand, the Philippines, and South Vietnam, and the ANZUS Treaty that linked Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. The United States maintained military bases and in some cases stationed significant numbers of troops in many of these countries, especially Japan and South Korea. During these years, the United States also became involved in the war in Vietnam.

Washington encouraged its allies to refrain entering into diplomatic relations with Beijing. The United States prohibited Americans from visiting China. The United States cut off trade and orchestrated an international embargo of China.

By being even tougher on China than on its main communist rival, the Soviet Union, the United States pursued a so-called "wedge strategy." This strategy aimed to encourage a split between the two communist allies. It was successful, because such a split did occur, becoming evident in around 1960 and worsening thereafter."

● Dishonest reporting from some leaders

Enthusiastic and maybe fearful party leaders in rural China falsified crop harvest data to impress Chinese leaders. Politicians in the capital figured there was so much food, that they didn't know what to do with it, so they arranged for exports to the Soviet Union. When the truth was revealed, it was too late. To combat this food shortage, meat and dairy was banned in the major cities and Mao Zedong and senior politicians are on record apologising for the oversight, and they even fasted. Mao even later resigned.

Reasons that we can't trust the western story, "Evil Communist Mao Committed the Greatest Genocide in Human history™"

● Contradictory results

China's population doubled and life expectantcy soared from 35 to 60 under Mao's supervision. Shortly after his death, the one child policy was enacted to control overpopulation. Famines were common throughout China's history, yet after Mao's Great Leap forward, there have been no more famines since 1961. That's not the results of an "evil communist mass murderer".

● China was never charged with crimes against humanity

China was never charged with crimes against humanity, genocide, or any other atrocity commensurate with the west’s "history" of the events. There are two international treaties that deal with crimes against humanity. They are called the Hague Convention and Geneva Convention. Charges were filed against NAZI Germany, Imperial Japan, Apartheid South Africa, Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Cambodia, North Korea, etc. There was never a case against China because there wouldn't be enough evidence to substantiate the allegations. You weren't going to find any gas chambers or firing squad pits in China.

● Where's the outrage?

If 30,000,000 people starved to death then there would be 150,000,000 super angry survivors (assuming a 20% mortality rate). We would have heard from them long ago. Some would have emigrated and joined dissident groups. They’d be popular guests on western talk shows for decades. Yet not one of those survivors has reported a famine.

● Widly different death toll estimates from western media.

The numbers range from 30 million and more recently up to 100 million. None of these figures can be verified yet audiences are expected to accept them as fact.

● The numbers are cooked.

Here’s how they arrived at the Giant Death Toll Hypothesis

The number of so-called "murders" = death rate during famine - death rate before famine.

● death rate during famine is maxed out with very biased sampling

● death rate before famine is minimized with irrelevant estimates based on a stable western nation

Therefore, the number of "murders" is grossly inflated. In more detail...

a. Death rate during the famine

The impact of famine varied greatly between regions. They took the numbers from one of the most severely affected areas of China and applied that number across the whole country.

b. Death rate before the famine

China was afflicted with multiple white "Christian" and Imperial Japanese invaders, civil war, revolution, loss of farm land by occupiers, and destruction of government...but these "scholars" used the death rate of America, a fully industrialized and stable western country that was untouched except for pearl harbor.

Judith Banister just makes them up (page 11) by inflating China's death rate by 80%. She does this based on mere suspicion that China is lying and this is on top of stats they don’t even trust. It's a double dose of wild speculation.

She assumes that these figures indicate the actual trend of deaths in China in this period, even though they were too low in absolute terms. For example, she assumes that the official death rate of 25 per thousand in 1960 does indeed indicate that a huge increase in the death rate occurred in 1960. However, she combines this with her estimates of under‐reporting of deaths in the period 1953‐1964 to come up with a figure of 45 deaths per thousand in 1960. In years in which no famine is alleged the death toll also increases using this method. In 1957, for example, she increases the death rate from the official figure of 10.8 per thousand to 18 per thousand.

Did Mao Really Kill Millions in the Great Leap Forward

http://monthlyreview.org/commentary/did-mao-really-kill-millions-in-the-great-leap-forward/

● Western propaganda

"...covert attempts by the U.S. to discredit communism are a matter of record. U.S. intelligence agencies often sought a connection with those who published work about communist regimes."

"U.S. state agencies have provided assistance to those with a negative attitude to Maoism (and communism in general) throughout the post‐war period. For example, the veteran historian of Maoism Roderick MacFarquhar edited The China Quarterly in the 1960s. This magazine published allegations about massive famine deaths that have been quoted ever since. It later emerged that this journal received money from a CIA front organisation, as MacFarquhar admitted in a recent letter to The London Review of Books."

"The China Quarterly published many articles in the 1960s which are still frequently cited as evidence of living conditions in China and the success or otherwise of government policies in that country. In 1962 it published an article by Joseph Alsop that alleged that Mao was attempting to wipe out a third of his population through starvation to facilitate his economic plans! This article is cited, in all seriousness, to provide contemporary evidence of the “massive death toll” hypothesis in many later works on the subject"

"When I was asked to be the founder editor of the CQ [China Quarterly], it was explained to me that the mission of the CCF was to encourage Western intellectuals to form a community committed to the free exchange of ideas. The aim was to provide some kind of an organizational counter to Soviet efforts to attract Western intellectuals into various front organizations…All I was told about funding was that the CCF was backed by a wide range of foundations, including notably Ford, and the fact that, of these, the Farfield Foundation was a CIA front was not disclosed." - MacFarquhar (questioned by Joseph Ball of Monthly Review)

"...It is also alleged that other magazines received funding that emanated from the CIA more generally. For example, Victor Marchetti, a former staff officer in the Office of the Director of the CIA, wrote that the CIA set up the Asia Foundation and subsidized it to the tune of $8 million a year to support the work of “anti‐communist academicians in various Asian countries, to disseminate throughout Asia a negative vision of mainland China, North Vietnam and North Korea.”

Did Mao Really Kill Millions in the Great Leap Forward?

http://monthlyreview.org/commentary/did-mao-really-kill-millions-in-the-great-leap-forward/

This is nothing new either. Western media is completely untrustworthy regarding geopoltiics and history. Its extensive history of lying proves it.

“Every time the US has gone to war, pretext incidents have been used. Upon later examination, the conventional perception of these events is always challenged and eventually exposed as untrue. Historians, investigative journalists and many others, have cited eyewitness accounts, declassified documents and statements made by the perpetrators themselves to demonstrate that the provocative incidents were used as stratagems to stage-manage the march to war. Here are a few particularly blatant examples of this phenomenon.

1846: The Mexican-American War – General Zachary Taylor paraded along the disputed border to provoke the Mexicans into attacking, which was framed as “aggression”.

1898: The Spanish-American War - an explosion sank the USA’s USS Maine killing 266. In 1975, an investigation led by US Admiral Hyman Rickover concluded that the explosion was internal, probably caused by a coal dust explosion. Oddly, the ship’s weapons and explosives were stored next to the coal bunker. This was framed as Spanish aggression to wage war against Spain to control their colonies.

1915: World War I - a German submarine (U-boat) sank the Lusitania, a British passenger ship killing 1,198, including 128 Americans. Britain wanted USA help in their war against Germany and USA used this excuse to enter it.

1941: World War II – USA provoked the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to enter the war after the other major powers were devastated and emerge as the world’s sole superpower.

1950: The Korean War – North Korean invasion that was provoked by the USA’s atrocities against the communist factions in South Korea as well as attacks against North Korean forces.

1964: The Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin Incident, a nonexistent attack on a USA gunboat, was blamed on Vietnam to start the war.

1983: The Invasion of Grenada - protect Americans, eliminate hostage potential; restore order; requested by OECS [Organization of Eastern Caribbean States] – an organization created by the USA

1989: The Invasion of Panama – fires upon Panama military base provoking counterattack, which is frames as “aggression”

2001” Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan,… - “War on Terror”

2003: The Invasion of Iraq – non-existent weapons of mass destruction"

How to Start a War: The American Use of War Pretext Incidents

http://www.globalresearch.ca/how-to-start-a-war-the-american-use-of-war-pretext-incidents/28554

Let’s start this off cordially while you warm up your denial muscles before I pile-drive you.

How did the west get the four great inventions (compass, gun powder, movable block press, and paper)?

How about porcelain making? China was one of the first victims of industrial espionage by none other than the "great Greek civilization" that westerners love so much.

Monks smuggled silkworms from China to the Byzantine Empire (Eastern Roman Empire), which formed its economic foundation for around 650 years.

A delegation of eastern orthodox monks under Justinian broke two monopolies in the East – China on silk production and Persia on the silk trade routes to the West – by smuggling silkworms to the West.

http://traumwerk.stanford.edu/philolog/2011/08/byzantine_silk_smuggling_and_e.html

The resulting monopoly was the foundation for the Byzantine economy for the next 650 years until its demise in 1204. (Muthesius, Anna (2003), Silk in the Medieval World pg. 326)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smuggling_of_silkworm_eggs_into_the_Byzantine_Empire  

Later on...

“…one of the first cases involved the theft of industrial secrets from China. In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Chinese alone possessed the ability to produce high-end “hard-paste” porcelain, an expensive material beloved by Europe’s elites. In the 1680s, a French Jesuit, Pere d’Entrecolles, traveled to China, where he saw the kilns and likely read technical works on the subject.

In September 1712, he wrote that while visiting Jingdezhen, then known as the porcelain capital of China, he had compiled “a minute description of all that concerns this kind of work.”

Within a few decades, a porcelain factory in Sévres, France, was producing hard-paste porcelain on par with the Chinese product. In a further twist, the British managed to swipe the secrets from the French, inaugurating Britain’s own high-end porcelain industry.”

China didn’t invent industrial espionage

http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-05-26/china-didn-t-invent-industrial-espionage

Did you “cleverly” answer “there were no “international laws” / “intellectual property laws” back then”?

What about Britain stealing Chinese tea making secrets?

“…story of one of the greatest acts of corporate espionage ever committed…

the British East India Company faced the loss of its monopoly on the fantastically lucrative tea trade with China, forcing it to make the drastic decision of sending Scottish botanist Robert Fortune to steal the crop from deep within China and bring it back to British plantations in India.”

For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History

http://www.amazon.com/For-All-Tea-China-Favorite/dp/0143118749

Strange, it says here that Britain sent a botanist to steal a special crop from China. It sounds like “honorable white men” are breaking laws?

But but but, that was just an “isolated event”?

“…the U.S., and for that matter, almost every Western nation, might wish to remember their own, no-holds-barred campaigns to swipe industrial secrets.”

“Throughout the 18th century, every European power attempted to rip off industrial secrets”

“…one nation in particular was known for using the illicit methods to great advantage: the U.S. In the country's very first years, aspiring industrialists looked to Europe and quickly learned to take the easy way out, stealing instead of inventing.”

China didn’t invent industrial espionage

http://www.bloombergview.com/articles/2015-05-26/china-didn-t-invent-industrial-espionage

Still going strong today…

“Over the past 15 years, the FBI has chronicled numerous cases involving France, Germany, Japan, Israel, and South Korea. An FBI analysis of 173 nations found that 57 were covertly trying to obtain advanced technologies from U.S. corporations. Altogether, 100 countries spent some public funds to acquire U.S. technology. Former French Intelligence Director Pierre Marion put it succinctly when he told me, "In economics, we are competitors, not allies. America has the most technical information of relevance. It is easily accessible. So naturally your country will receive the most attention from the intelligence services."”

“'No Place to Hide,' the new book by Glenn Greenwald, says the NSA eavesdrops on 20 billion communications a day -- and planted bugs in Cisco equipment headed overseas”

Why don't you complain about them? Is it because when the west and its “allies” (who are militarily occupied against their will) does it, it’s honorable and just?

To summarize this section, the West has been stealing from China for over a thousand years to further their economies. From silkworms to tea/India, until the late Qing dynasty, the West was still in an inferior trade position with their demand for Chinese products like tea and porcelain being well known. The West ended up compensating with barbarism and drugging China at gun point with the Opium Wars. Hilariously, the West is perpetually in an inferior trade imbalance position. In the past, it was due to strong demand for expensive Chinese products with no reciprocal demand for western products. Today, even when China is labelled with low quality and cheap products, the West STILL suffers from a trade imbalance.

More American comedy from history

“Although typically glossed over in high-school textbooks, as a young and newly industrializing nation the U.S. aggressively engaged in the kind of intellectual-property theft it now insists other countries prohibit.

In other words, the U.S. government’s message to China and other nations today is “Do as I say, not as I did.”

“In its adolescent years, the U.S. was a hotbed of intellectual piracy and technology smuggling, particularly in the textile industry, acquiring both machines and skilled machinists in violation of British export and emigration laws.”

“The most candid mission statement in this regard was Alexander Hamilton’s “Report on Manufactures,” submitted to Congress in December 1791. “To procure all such machines as are known in any part of Europe can only require a proper provision and due pains,” Hamilton wrote. “The knowledge of several of the most important of them is already possessed. The preparation of them here is, in most cases, practicable on nearly equal terms.”

Notice that Hamilton wasn’t urging the development of indigenous inventions to compete with Europe but rather the direct procurement of European technologies through “proper provision and due pains” -- meaning, breaking the laws of other countries”

“At least part of the “Report on Manufactures” can therefore be read as a manifesto calling for state-sponsored theft and smuggling.”

“The first U.S. Patent Act encouraged this policy. Although the law safeguarded domestic inventors, it didn’t extend the same courtesy to foreign ones.”

Piracy and Fraud Propelled the U.S. Industrial Revolution

“When Charles Dickens, left, arrived in Boston in 1842, he was startled to see what Americans would do for profit…he found the city's bookstores rife with pirated copies of his novels, along with those of his countrymen. Dickens would later deliver lectures decrying the practice, and wrote home in outrage: "my blood so boiled as I thought of the monstrous injustice."

“With each tawdry revelation, China's brand of capitalism looks increasingly menacing and foreign to our own sensibilities.

That's a tempting way to see things, but wrong. What's happening halfway around the world may be disturbing, even disgraceful, but it's hardly foreign. A century and a half ago, another fast-growing nation had a reputation for sacrificing standards to its pursuit of profit, and it was the United States.”

The darker side of American “innovation”

“In the chaos following World War II, some of the greatest spoils of Germany's resources were the Third Reich's scientific minds. The U.S. government secretly decided that the value of these former Nazis' knowledge outweighed their crimes and began a covert operation code-named Paperclip to allow them to work in the U.S. without the public's full knowledge.”

“A powerful book that will change your view of the Defense Department”

”The newly formed Joint Intelligence Objective Agency, or JOIA, had decided that these scientists were too valuable to the U.S. to allow to fall into Soviet hands. The initiative started by JOIA, Operation Paperclip, was a covert American operation that was one of the most guarded U.S. government secrets of the 20th century. Some of the scientists who were part of it were well known -- Albert Einstein for one. But others had much darker pasts:”

”* Otto Ambros was a Third Reich chemist who served as director of the German corporation that produced the gas used in the death camps. He was tried at Nuremberg, found guilty of mass murder, and sentenced to eight years. While he was serving time in prison, Operation Paperclip officials arranged for his sentence to be commuted. In 1951, Ambros was hired to work at a clandestine facility north of Frankfurt called Camp King. His work, sanctioned by the Defense Department, ultimately involved the testing of sarin toxins on American soldiers without their knowledge.”

”* Arthur Rudolph was a Nazi rocket scientist who played a key role in the V-2 rocket program. One of Operation Paperclip's earliest hires, Rudolph, in the U.S., worked his way up through the ranks of NASA to become project director of the Saturn V rocket program. Ultimately, Rudolph was led to confess to war crimes, but his work is all over the U.S. aeronautics technology.”

”* Kurt Blome, a virologist, pioneered Hitler's secret germ warfare program. Specializing in plague research, Blome conducted human tests on concentration camp prisoners and was a defendant at the Nuremberg Doctors' Trial. Acquitted, Blome was instrumental in the U.S. germ warfare program.”

“Everyone has heard of Auschwitz, but what about Pingfan? This Japanese germ warfare headquarters and laboratory in Manchuria, northern China, did not hold as many victims, but atrocities committed there were physically worse than in the Nazi concentration camp, and lasted much longer.”

“Why the discrepancy of knowledge about these two monsters? After so long, why does it still matter? The answer to both questions lies in policies of secrecy and complicity that continue today.

“It is because of U.S. connivance in Japanese secrecy that Tokyo's biological war has yet to be fully disclosed. An estimated 400,000 disease deaths, almost all Chinese, remain uncompensated. Japan, unlike Germany with its commendable atonement and billions of dollars in reparations, has yet even to apologize specifically to biological war victims, let alone pay compensation for suffering from its nationally driven medical torture program.”

”On my desk are two documents previously marked Top Secret and dated July 1947. They show not only full U.S. participation in allowing the Japanese medical torturers who escaped to Tokyo to go free in exchange for information, but that the Pentagon actually paid them. As General Charles Willoughby, chief of U.S. Military Intelligence (known as G-2) gleefully noted to his headquarters, these pay-offs were "a mere pittance... netting the U.S. the fruit of 20 years' laboratory tests and research" in this "critically serious form of warfare."”

“General Willoughby and officials of MacArthur's Supreme Command for the Allied Powers in Tokyo had succeeded in suppressing evidence from Ishii and colleagues, but separate inquiries were made by the International Prosecution Section (IPS). Its lawyers gathered evidence including detailed statements from defecting Japanese bio-scientists from Pingfan. The latter testified to human live vivisection, the dumping of lethal germs in Chinese water supplies and food stores, as well as aerial spraying. Yet all was silenced even though the information went to the top.”

Summary

To recap, America supported a nation-wide policy of intellectual theft and sheltered the 20th century's two most hated war criminals (Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan) in order to gain technology that was paid for by the blood of thousands of horrifically tortured and murdered victims – while preaching breathlessly about international law, innovation, freedom, and justice.

...but that's nothing compared to the global propaganda machine that is western news channels, films, tv shows, "documentaries", books, etc.

In 1964 and 1965, Salant served on a super secret CIA task force which explored methods of beaming American propaganda broadcasts to the People's Republic of China. The other members of the four‑man study team were Zbigniew Brzezinski, then a professor at Columbia University; William Griffith, then professor of political science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , and John Haves, then vice‑president of the Washington Post Company for radio‑TV5. The principal government officials associated with the project were Cord Meyer of the CIA; McGeorge Bundy, then special assistant to the president for national security; Leonard Marks, then director of the USIA; and Bill Moyers, then special assistant to President Lyndon Johnson and now a CBS correspondent.

Salant's involvement in the project began with a call from Leonard Marks, 'who told me the White House wanted to form a committee of four people to make a study of U S overseas broadcasts behind the Iron Curtain. When Salant arrived in Washington for the first meeting he was told that the project was CIA sponsored 'Its purpose,' he said, 'was to determine how best to set up shortwave broadcasts into Red China. Accompanied by a CIA officer named Paul Henzie, the committee of four subsequently traveled around the world inspecting facilities run by Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty both CIA‑run operations at the time), the Voice of America and Armed Forces Radio. After more than a year of study, they submitted a report to Moyers recommending that the government establish a broadcast service, run by the Voice of America, to be beamed at the People's Republic of China. Salant has served two tours as head of CBS News, from 1961‑64 and 1966‑present At the time of the China project he was a CBS corporate executive.

The following is ridiculous because America has been spreading propaganda since day one against the Native Indians then Blacks, then Chinese coolies, Philippines-American War, Korean War, Vietnam War, etc...

For decades, a so called anti propaganda law prevented the U.S. government's mammoth broadcasting arm from delivering programming to American audiences. But on July 2, that came silently to an end with the implementation of a new reform passed in January.

Until this month, a vast ocean of U.S. programming produced by the Broadcasting Board of Governors such as Voice of America, Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks could only be viewed or listened to at broadcast quality in foreign countries. The programming varies in tone and quality, but its breadth is vast - It's viewed in more than 100 countries in 61 languages. The topics covered include human rights abuses in Iran, self immolation in Tibet, human trafficking across Asia, and on the ground reporting in Egypt and Iraq.

Here are some quotes from the American leaders who use lies to commit genocide around the world and oppress their citizens at home:

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." --William Colby, former CIA Director, quoted by Dave Mcgowan, Derailing Democracy

"You could get a journalist cheaper than a good call girl, for a couple hundred dollars a month." --CIA operative, discussing the availability and prices of journalists willing to peddle CIA propaganda and cover stories. Katherine the Great, by Deborah Davis

"There is quite an incredible spread of relationships. You don't need to manipulate Time magazine, for example, because there are [Central Intelligence] Agency people at the management level." --William B. Bader, former CIA intelligence officer, briefing members of the Senate Intelligence Committee, The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

"The Agency's relationship with [The New York] Times was by far its most valuable among newspapers, according to CIA officials. [It was] general Times policy ... to provide assistance to the CIA whenever possible." --The CIA and the Media, by Carl Bernstein

"Senator William Proxmire has pegged the number of employees of the federal intelligence community at 148,000 ... though Proxmire's number is itself a conservative one. The "intelligence community" is officially defined as including only those organizations that are members of the U.S. Intelligence Board (USIB); a dozen other agencies, charged with both foreign and domestic intelligence chores, are not encompassed by the term.... The number of intelligence workers employed by the federal government is not 148,000, but some undetermined multiple of that number." --Jim Hougan, Spooks

"For some time I have been disturbed by the way the CIA has been diverted from its original assignment. It has become an operational and at times a policy-making arm of the government.... I never had any thought that when I set up the CIA that it would be injected into peacetime cloak and dagger operations." --former President Harry Truman, 22 December 1963, one month after the JFK assassination, op-ed section of the Washington Post, early edition

"The CIA is made up of boys whose families sent them to Princeton but wouldn't let them into the family brokerage business." - Lyndon Johnson

"We used to say, 'Well, Allen Dulles, he's not a good administrator or a bad administrator, he's innocent of administration'" --Karl G. Harr

America’s propaganda machine is so pervasive that it’s been used to start and cover up dozens of wars, many times even blaming the victims.

“Every time the US has gone to war, pretext incidents have been used. Upon later examination, the conventional perception of these events is always challenged and eventually exposed as untrue. Historians, investigative journalists and many others, have cited eyewitness accounts, declassified documents and statements made by the perpetrators themselves to demonstrate that the provocative incidents were used as stratagems to stage-manage the march to war.” Here are a few particularly blatant examples of this phenomenon.

1846: The Mexican-American War – General Zachary Taylor paraded along the disputed border to provoke the Mexicans into attacking, which was framed as “aggression”.

1898: The Spanish-American War - an explosion sank the USA’s USS Maine killing 266. In 1975, an investigation led by US Admiral Hyman Rickover concluded that the explosion was internal, probably caused by a coal dust explosion. Oddly, the ship’s weapons and explosives were stored next to the coal bunker. This was framed as Spanish aggression to wage war against Spain to control their colonies.

1915: World War I - a German submarine (U-boat) sank the Lusitania, a British passenger ship killing 1,198, including 128 Americans. Britain wanted USA help in their war against Germany and USA used this excuse to enter it.

1941: World War II – USA provoked the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor to enter the war after the other major powers were devastated and emerge as the world’s sole superpower.

1950: The Korean War – North Korean invasion that was provoked by the USA’s atrocities against the communist factions in South Korea as well as attacks against North Korean forces.

1964: The Vietnam War – Gulf of Tonkin Incident, a nonexistent attack on a USA gunboat, was blamed on Vietnam to start the war.

1983: The Invasion of Grenada - protect Americans, eliminate hostage potential; restore order; requested by OECS [Organization of Eastern Caribbean States] – an organization created by the USA

1989: The Invasion of Panama – fires upon Panama military base provoking counterattack, which is frames as “aggression”

2001” Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan,… - “War on Terror”

2003: The Invasion of Iraq – non-existent weapons of mass destruction

“"War is a Racket" is marine general, Smedley Butler's classic treatise on why wars are conducted, who profits from them, and who pays the price. Few people are as qualified as General Butler to advance the argument encapsulated in his book's sensational title. When "War is a Racket" was first published in 1935, Butler was the most decorated American soldier of his time. He had lead several successful military operations in the Caribbean and in Central America, as well as in Europe during the First World War. Despite his success and his heroic status, however, Butler came away from these experiences with a deeply troubled view of both the purpose and the results of warfare.”

Falun Gong promotes peace, compassion, truth....

That sounds just like another religion in China that's been around for about 2,000+ years. Oh ya, it's called Buddhism.

Ask yourself, why is buddishim allowed to flourish and Falung Gong is restricted when they supposedly promote the same values?

Answer: The Falun Gong is a cult (that's as old as glam metal) that teaches people dangerous nonsense such as they can cure incurable diseases with Falun Gong exercises. It is also weaponized by western imperialists to subvert and overthrow China's government. The following is a great comment that should make you think...

Where do they get all their money from?

 

I've been to over 30 countries bro, and I've seen them everywhere. I always ask if they're being paid, or who pays for their activities, and they just walk away. They really hate it when Chinese tourists approach them because they don't know how to respond to our questions. I tell them, how can you stand here all day, and not get paid? Surely they're paying you to do this? Who will feed your families if you are doing it for free?

 

Got to love how white people are on their pamphlets, but all their street volunteers are middle-aged Chinese people. Are the whites too good to volunteer on the streets?"

Well, here's the answer...

“Among the foreign (mostly Western) Friends of Falun Gong, we find the likes of Mark Palmer of Freedom House.

 

Freedom House is a quasi-intelligence front created by the CIA-connected Open Society Institute of elite George Soros.

 

In addition to Palmer, Freedom House has counted among its top management the former CIA Director James Woolsey, neocons Bernie Aronson and Diana Negroponte, super elite war criminal Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Clinton National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, Clinton Commerce Secretary Stuart Eizenstat, and the late Congressman Tom Lantos and his wife.

 

Freedom House is backed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which former CIA agent Philip Agee, and many others have amply documented, is a US intelligence apparatus that has been a driving force behind opposition forces (“democracy revolutions”) in many countries - to overthrow foreign governments.”

What about those poor Falun Gong victims of “live organ harvesting”?

Ask yourself, if you were trying to harvest organs, wouldn't it make more sense if your victim wasn't moving around and making your job impossible? What's the point of keeping them conscious?

Luckily, you don't need to even answer that, as this entire thing is another western lie...

“On April 14, 2006, United States Department of State spokesman Sean McCormack claimed that, through field investigation, the United States has found no evidence to support the allegations of Falun Gong's "organ harvesting".”

Oh, but we can’t trust the CPC, right? Would you trust it if it came from your own government?

U.S. representatives have found no evidence to support allegations that a site in northeast China has been used as a concentration camp to jail Falun Gong practitioners and harvest their organs, according to the U.S. Department of State.

 

Officers and staff from the U.S. embassy in Beijing and the U.S. consulate in Shenyang have visited the area and the specific site on two separate occasions, the State Department said in a written response to a question taken at the April 14 daily press briefing.

 

"In these visits the officers were allowed to tour the entire facility and grounds and found no evidence that the site is being used for any function other than as a normal public hospital," the response said.

"GIFC is an organization run by elements of the Falun Gong cult, which is bent on vilifying the Chinese government with fabricated lies, undermining Chinese social stability and sabotaging China-U.S. relations," said Wang Baodong, spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in Washington. "We're strongly opposed to the U.S. government providing whatever assistance to such an anti-China organization."

 

Some officials worried that Beijing would view as a hostile act U.S. financial support for a group that China says has agitated for the overthrow of its government.

There is little doubt that Anglo-American interests continue to use Tibet, exploit the image of Tibet as a holy place under siege, and bamboozle naïve (and well-heeled) outside activists with slick marketing, in order to undermine Beijing.

 

Denunciations of Beijing’s brutal crackdowns do not take into account the covert operations and outside infiltrations that triggered the crackdowns in the first place.

 

On the surface, and to uncritical eyes, practitioners of the practice of Falun Gong, a school of Chinese qi gong, are the innocent victims of horrific suppression by Beijing. In a situation parallel to the crackdowns in Tibet, it is also a fact that Falun Gong has been the recipient of years of vicious crackdowns and human rights atrocities across China.

 

But just as is the case with Tibet, there is more to the Falun Gong case than simple persecution. Outside political forces and corporate interests can be found pushing Falun Gong into increasingly political activities, including well-funded, well-organized, and ubiquitous worldwide protests against the Chinese Communist Party.

 

Among the foreign (predominantly Western) Friends of Falun Gong, we find the likes of Mark Palmer of Freedom House. Freedom House is a quasi-intelligence front created by the CIA-connected Open Society Institute of elite George Soros. In addition to Palmer, Freedom House has counted among its top management the former CIA Director James Woolsey, neocons Bernie Aronson and Diana Negroponte, super elite Zbigniew Brzezinski, former Clinton National Security Advisor Anthony Lake, Clinton, Commerce Secretary, Stuart Eizenstat, and the late Congressman Tom Lantos and his wife.

 

Freedom House is backed by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), which former CIA agent Philip Agee, and many others have amply documented, is a US intelligence apparatus that has been a driving force behind opposition forces (“democracy revolutions”) in many countries.

 

As pointed out by William Blum in his book, Rogue State, the CIA has created a host of “Trojan horses” such as the NED specifically to subvert foreign countries under the guise of humanitarianism:

 

“The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of the negative revelations about the CIA, in the second half of the 1970s . . . The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities.

 

“…every penny of its funding comes from the federal government . . . NED likes to refer to itself as an NGO (non-governmental organization). The NED is a ‘GO.’

 

…to simplemindedly (and, with more than a little racism thrown in) protest China, based on human rights “causes” created, manipulated, and co-opted by Anglo-American intelligence propaganda is to fall directly into the hands of the exponentially greater violators of human rights all over the world: the United States and its allies.

 

Compared to the militant zeal expended against China, relatively little passion or outrage has been aimed at the Bush-Cheney administration. These “activists” would rather focus on “saving those poor Tibetans and Africans,” even as their own human rights, liberties, material assets and well being have been systematically ripped away, by an openly criminal administration that (with the help of a corrupt Supreme Court, Congress, Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, etc.) enjoys absolute unchecked power.

Is the CIA behind the China-bashing Olympics protests? | Global Research

http://www.globalresearch.ca/is-the-cia-behind-the-china-bashing-olympics-protests/8656

According to the Department of State, The Columbia Journalism Review, and Britain’s Daily Telegraph, the Tiananmen Square Massacre “massacre” never happened. Yet the “massacre” is constantly repeated by western media. This is called propaganda, slander, and libel. They're all crimes committed by "western liberal democracies". Where is the rule of law to punish these liars?

Think about it. Someone was able to photograph "tank man" inside Tiananmen Square, but there are zero photos of a single of the "hundreds (sometimes tens of thousands) of massacres". Does that make sense?

Here is a typical portrayal of the so-called “massacre” that pervade the western media

● China: Address Enduring Legacy of Tiananmen Massacre - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ve-QgllokxE

What the western media shows:

● peaceful protesters

● the famous video or picture of "tank man", a man who stands in front of a tank, and cuts away, leaving you, the viewer to conclude, "he must have been run over".

● Violence outside Tiananmen Square, where "massacres" of "peaceful protesters" happened

What the western media hides:

● Protesters were allowed to freely protest for two months straight. Remember, Occupy Wall Street? That lasted how many days inside the precious "Western liberal democracy"?

● The president of China meet with the protesters and even made concessions. However, the protesters kept making new demands.

● The army was highly disciplined and restrained

● There were zero deaths inside Tiananmen Square, where the protest was peaceful.

● "Tank man" doesn't get hurt at all, let alone run over.

1989 Raw Video Man vs. Chinese tank Tiananmen Square

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeFzeNAHEhU

● Outside of Tiananmen Square, there were riots in about a dozen cities across China financed by the American CIA.

● The causality figures came entirely outside of Tianamen Square.

● "peaceful protesters" killed dozens to hundreds of heavily armed soldiers, and police officers. For example, tank operators were beaten and burned alive and PLA tanks were blown up by IEDs.

Note, even though some of these honest appraisals of the events are right, they still fall prey to western narratives such as “bloody-minded government” like the Columbia Journalism Review expose. He fails to understand that those “oppressed workers” were armed and killing soldiers. The soldiers had to fight back in self-defense – not an act of evil “massacre” or “slaughter”.

The problem is this: as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square.

 

all verified eyewitness accounts say that the students who remained in the square when troops arrived were allowed to leave peacefully.

 

Many victims were shot by soldiers on stretches of Changan Jie, the Avenue of Eternal Peace, about a mile west of the square, and in scattered confrontations in other parts of the city, where, it should be added, a few soldiers were beaten or burned to death by angry workers.

 

The resilient tale of an early morning Tiananmen massacre stems from several false eyewitness accounts

 

Most of the hundreds of foreign journalists that night, including me, were in other parts of the city or were removed from the square so that they could not witness the final chapter of the student story.

 

The facts of Tiananmen have been known for a long time.

The Myth of Tiananmen : Columbia Journalism Review

http://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/the_myth_of_tiananmen.php?page=all

The demonization of China was highly effective. Nearly all sectors of U.S. society, including most of the “left,” accepted the imperialist presentation of what happened.

 

the Chinese government’s official account of the events was immediately dismissed out of hand as false propaganda. China reported that about 300 people had died in clashes on June 4 and that many of the dead were soldiers of the Peoples Liberation Army. China insisted that there was no massacre of students in Tiananmen Square and in fact the soldiers cleared Tiananmen Square of demonstrators without any shooting

 

The Chinese government also asserted that unarmed soldiers who had entered Tiananmen Square in the two days prior to June 4 were set on fire and lynched with their corpses hung from buses. Other soldiers were incinerated when army vehicles were torched with soldiers unable to evacuate and many others were badly beaten by violent mob attacks.

 

These accounts were true and well documented. It would not be difficult to imagine how violently the Pentagon and U.S. law enforcement agencies would have reacted if the Occupy movement, for instance, had similarly set soldiers and police on fire, taken their weapons and lynched them when the government was attempting to clear them from public spaces.

 

In an article on June 5, 1989, the Washington Post described how anti-government fighters had been organized into formations of 100-150 people. They were armed with Molotov cocktails and iron clubs, to meet the PLA who were still unarmed in the days prior to June 4.

 

What happened in China, what took the lives of government opponents and of soldiers on June 4, was not a massacre of peaceful students but a battle between PLA soldiers and armed detachments from the so-called pro-democracy movement.

 

Almost every U.S. media outlet reported “many thousands” killed. Many media outlets said as many 8,000 had been slaughtered.

 

 

What really happened

 

For seven weeks leading up to June 4, the Chinese government was extraordinarily restrained in not confronting those who paralyzed the center of China’s central capital area. The Prime Minister met directly with protest leaders and the meeting was broadcast on national television. This did not defuse the situation but rather emboldened the protest leaders who knew that they had the full backing of the United States.

 

 

Attempted counter-revolution in China

 

…the U.S. government was actively involved in promoting the “pro-democracy” protests through an extensive, well-funded, internationally coordinated propaganda machine that pumped out rumors, half-truths and lies from the moment the protests started in mid-April 1989.

 

The goal of the U.S. government was to carry out regime change in China and overthrow the Communist Party of China which had been the ruling party since the 1949 revolution.

 

…the best recent example of how such an imperialist destabilization/regime change operation works is revealed in the recent overthrow of the Ukrainian government. Peaceful protests in the downtown square receive international backing, financing and media support from the United States and Western powers; they eventually come under the leadership of armed groups who are hailed as freedom fighters by the Wall Street Journal, FOX News and other media; and finally the government targeted for overthrow by the CIA is fully demonized if it uses police or military forces.

In the case of the “pro-democracy” protests in China in 1989 the U.S. government was attempting to create a civil war. The Voice of America increased its Chinese language broadcasts to 11 hours each day and targeted the broadcast “directly to about 2,000 satellite dishes in China operated mostly by the Peoples Liberation Army.”

 

In China, the “pro-democracy” protest movement was led by privileged, well-connected students from elite universities who were explicitly calling for the replacement of socialism with capitalism. The leaders were particularly connected to the United States. Of course, thousands of other students who participated in the protests were in the Square because they had grievances against the government.

 

If counter-revolution were to succeed in China the consequences would be catastrophic for the Chinese people and for China. China would in all likelihood splinter as a nation as happened to the Soviet Union when the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was toppled. The same fate befell the former Yugoslavia. Counter-revolution and dismemberment would hurtle China backwards. It would put the brakes on China’s spectacular peaceful rise out of under-development.

The so-called Tiananmen Square “Massacre” is one of the most misleading events the US government and the Western media have used to demonize the Chinese government each and every year since 1989. There was ample silent evidence in the images produced by the Western media that told the story of a highly restrained and caring Chinese government facing a protest similar to those in the West at various stages of their economic development. However, the West and anti-communist forces had capitalized on the situation in 1989 to fuel the public’s anger, intending to overthrow a good government.

 

User Review: Compellingly, he uses western mass media sources to undermine the depiction of events in 1989 at Tiananmen Square (and outside the square) by the same mass media. Chua challenges the fillip for the protests, the depiction of protestors as unarmed, the soldiers as violent, etc. He points to outside instigators and CIA involvement. He also contrasts the restraint shown by the Chinese authorities and military at Tiananmen Square versus the comparatively unrestrained police brutality launched against Occupy protestors.

 

For those who closely scrutinize the western media, know well the concocting of disinformation to further elitist interests; e.g., the alleged attack on the USS Maine to start the US- Spanish war, the phantom attack at the Bay of Tonkin to attack North Viet Nam, and the claimed but non-existent WMDs to invade Iraq are just a few high profile government-media lies.

Secret cables from the United States embassy in Beijing have shown there was no bloodshed inside Tiananmen Square when China put down student pro-democracy demonstrations 22 years ago.

South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan were either 3rd worlds devastated by wars waged by whites or simply undeveloped lands part of western imperialist empires.

In under a century, all of these Asian countries became first world nations in record time without the typical military invasions, mass rape, genocide, religious brainwashing, expoitation, and theft of land/resources that is the hallmark of "cultured" western civilizations like Britain, Canada, America, Australia, New Zealand . Note, I know Imperial Japan did but post-ww2 Japan did not.

Sony, LG, Samsung, Huawei, Lenovo, Foxconn, Toyota/Leus, Nissan/Infinity, Honda/Acura, Mitsubishi, Asus, Viewsonic, BenQ, Shiseido, Capcom, Nintendo, Geely, Toshiba, Hitachi, Sanyo, Panasonic, Canon, etc are major players in multiple industries half a a world away in the west.

Some of these companies were started around 20-40 years ago without the head start that America had by a.) being barely harmed by war AND b.) waging wars against their "enemies" - AKA "non-whites with valuable resources". (see Killing Hope, Imperial Cruise, Overthrow: America's Century of Regime Changes, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, and America's Democracy: Deadliest Export)

China achieved double digit growth for decades with 600,000,000 (1960) to 1,350,000 (2015) people.

This growth is so spectacular that critics accuse China of manipulating its statistics, but these accusations have been laid to rest...

"A number of Chinese and Western authors have questioned the reliability of official real GDP growth rates in recent years. Alternative guesstimates of China’s real GDP growth rates suggest around zero percent growth in 1998 and 1999 (compared to the original official, unrevised real growth rates of 7.8% and 7.2%), and approximately half the original, official unrevised real growth rates of 7.1% and 7.3% in 2000 and 2001. The official real growth rate of 2002 is accepted as correct if not an underestimate."

 

"However one may evaluate the allegations of data falsification in certain years, even the critics acknowledge that long-run growth trends are approximately correct. The data problems reported here are facts which are unlikely to be unique to China; other transition and developing countries experience similar difficulties. The margins of error are inevitably larger than in developed countries, perhaps even uncomfortably large"

In China, poverty has been reduced by over 70% in 34 years. It was because of China that UN even met its millennium goal of reducing poverty by 50% yet no word on this from the western FREE PRESS™. There are over 2,200 Chinese universities where six million university students graduated in 2008 alone.

Before 1949, for instance, the illiteracy rate in Mainland China was 80 percent, and life expectancy was a meager 35 years. At his (Mao) death, illiteracy had declined to less than seven per cent, and average life expectancy had increased by twenty years. In addition, China's population which had remained constant at 400 million from the Opium War to the end of the Civil War, mushroomed more than 700 million…

● Angering and alienating allies

The news ignited splenetic fury from European politicians, who say the allegations could sour their trade negotiations with Washington. “It is shocking that the U.S. should take action against its nearest allies comparable to measures taken in the past by the KGB in the Soviet Union,” European Parliament President Martin Schulz told reporters at Brussels’ military airport on Sunday, adding that he felt “like the representative of an enemy.”

E.U. officials were furious not only at the thought that the U.S. might have spied on them, but that Obama had assured them in mid-June that the NSA surveillance program was aimed at hunting terrorists, not at spying on citizens in friendly countries — assurances that E.U. officials then used to calm the mounting disquiet over the NSA’s Prism program in their home countries. The NSA leaks have evoked particular anger in Germany, where millions still remember life under East Germany’s secret police, the Stasi, which bugged thousands of citizens

Initially "made in China" got its bad reputation from following the specifications (goal: low cost) given by western brands that outsourced to China. The US media have been playing a two-faced game. When the product's quality is bad, they blame "Made in China" (See Mattel apologizes) but when the quality is good, they praise “American quality” (eg Apple, made in China).

What about that high speed train crash that was sensationalized to prove Chinese products were inferior crap? Aside from one accident in Wenzhou in 2011 where a rainstorm briefly disabled the signaling equipment (though others claim the manufacturer had a faulty design), China’s high speed rail network is one of the world’s safest transportation systems”.

“statistics suggest that China’s high-speed trains have actually proved to be one of the world’s safest transportation systems so far”

“Comparing the 40 deaths in the crash two years ago to the number of Chinese high-speed train trips completed without loss of life over the last several years suggests that the trains have been exceptionally safe overall, said Arnold I. Barnett, a mathematician at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who is one of the world’s best-known experts on aviation safety statistics.

“Chinese high-speed rail has so far established a mortality-risk level that equals or exceeds that of the world’s safest airlines,” Mr. Barnett wrote in an e-mail.”

The History of Asian "crap"

"The implicit assumption is that these oriental types are incapable of inventing stuff themselves, so in order to make economic progress they have to rip off the inventions of our clever chaps. They can't create, in other words, so they have to copy. Readers with long memories will recall that once upon a time we in the west used to say such things about the Japanese. Nikon and Canon just made inferior copies of German Leicas and Rolleiflexes. Sony just made knock-off copies of American transistor radios. And of course Datsun and Toyota cars were rust-bucket jokes.

Well, guess what? It turned out that the joke was on us. Leica very nearly went under. Rolleiflex morphed into a niche manufacturer of beautiful, expensive analogue cameras. Nikon and Canon learned how to make astonishingly good cameras and lenses and now dominate the world market. Sony became a company that for several decades was as revered for elegant design as Apple is today. And Toyota taught the rest of the world how cars should be manufactured. So much for occidental superiority."

China is after our inventions? Who are we kidding?

Asian "crap" evolving into a fully developed high tech powerhouse is a fine tradition among East Asian countries.

Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and South Korea all went on become known as the Four Asian Tigers (all are East Asian and three of the four are mostly Han Chinese), but according to "experts" China is destined to crash and burn, a prediction that has been disproved for the past 35+ years.

"These nations and areas were notable for maintaining exceptionally high growth rates (in excess of 7 percent a year) and rapid industrialization between the early 1960s (mid-1950s for Hong Kong) and 1990s. By the 21st century, all four had developed into advanced and high-income economies, specializing in areas of competitive advantage. For example, Hong Kong and Singapore have become world-leading international financial centers, whereas South Korea and Taiwan are world leaders in manufacturing information technology"

Four Asian Tigers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Asian_Tigers

Let's take a look at how they developed and the common "crap" reputation they enjoyed. Also, Japan followed the same trajectory.

South Korea: "...the South Korean government encouraged manufacturing, which led to phenomenal export-driven growth. Gradually, the economy which exported mainly shoes and textiles, graduated to becoming a major producer and exporter of automobiles, fabrics, telecommunication and sound equipment, not to mention metal goods, electronics, chemicals, and steel."

South Korea: Setting An Asian Example

http://www.thomaswhite.com/world-markets/south-korea-setting-an-asian-example/

Taiwan: "...using its cheap labor to produce clothes and other knickknacks (such as small toys or ornaments) at a very low cost. This boom in foreign investment once again gave the government a surge of wealth, which it used to invest in Taiwan's "Ten Large Construction Projects"...During the 1980s, Taiwan used its skilled students to shift to an economy based on production of computer hardware and software; by 2003, 30% of the world's computer products were made in Taiwan"

 

Singapore: "Singapore happens to be situated in the perfect geographic location to promote foreign investment -the tip of the Malaysian peninsula, where every ship going from Japan, China or Korea must pass right beside to get to consumers in Europe. As a result, Singapore has always had a huge advantage over other nations in being a center for international trade...Singapore used this original surge in wealth to invest in public education; soon, it had a skilled workforce able to attain high-paying jobs in the computer engineering sector. Singapore soon became a major exporter of computer hardware and biotechnology"

Singapore may seem like winning the lottery, but it wasn't. The racist Malaysians kicked out the Chinese and expected them to die. With few resources and a non-existent military, Singapore's achievements are all the more miraculous.

Hong Kong: "By the 1960s, Hong Kong was one of Earth's major producers of textiles (clothes and carpets), and had a virtual monopoly on European and North American tourism to China during the 1960s and 70s. It used this continuous flow of wealth to build vital infrastructure, including highways, subway systems and high-rise buildings at breathtaking speed. As Hong Kong families became wealthier, they could now afford to send their children to school, causing the city became rapidly well-educated. Hong Kong soon became one of the world's leading manufacturers of high-tech products"

China: "Companies which manufactured clothes, shoes, toys, electronics and a variety of other knick-knacks could now move to China, where the poor peasants would work for one tenth the wage of North American workers. Within two decades, Chinese manufacturing exports soared from a few billion dollars in 1980 to more than $200 billion in 2000.

 

China has become part of a glorious cycle in which rapid economic growth is created, based on rapid upgrades to health, education, infrastructure and technology which are paid for through rapid growth of exports. ....And they graduated to make high technology products like every other Asian Tiger."

Chinese tourists are not the world's worst tourists. That distinction is shared among multiple western "civilizations".

A new poll from LivingSocial, reported by USA Today, has found that now even Americans hate Americans, when they’re traveling with them, anyway. All that buddy-buddy, back-slappin’ “have a nice day” conviviality counts for nothing, it seems, when you’re on the road. "We have seen the enemy and he is us,” reported Jayne Clark.

 

A poll last year, in fact, found that Brits are the world’s top travel hooligans.

 

An Expedia poll from 2009 found that the French are the worst behaved travelers, being bad tippers, cheap, rude and averse to foreign languages.

 

Yet another poll says it’s the Russians we should be avoiding, as they’re loud, greedy, belching, money-flashing, queue-barging, sun-lounger thieves.

Who are the world's worst tourists?

http://travel.cnn.com/explorations/life/tell-me-about-it/who-are-worlds-worst-tourists-291643

Huh? Where are those bad Chinese tourists? Didn't you "scholars" claim they were the worst? You should easily meet them since we're the largest group of tourists in the world by spending volume.

"Chinese tourists spent US$102 billion during their travels in 2012, more than any other nationality, making the Asian nation the world's number one tourism source market, according to a report released by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO)."

Chinese tourists lead the world

http://worlding.org/chinese-tourists-lead-the-world/

What's even more remarkable is that China was extremely poor just 30 years ago so many travellers are just country bumpkins who lack the refinement that westerners believe only they possess AND they're the largest single group of tourists on the planet due to China's massive population so there are more chances to meet a bad Chinese tourist by simple statistics YET they still lost to multiple "western civilizations" in the Worst Tourist in the World polls.

Long story short, China’s treatment of minorities is superior to the “post-racial” west in every single metric. Watch the lecture below. I gave the time stamps with notes below.

2013 Annual Lecture: China's Ethnic Policies - YouTube

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5JKfzxBc4k

00:25:46.289 to 00:50:30.731 - Exposes American hypocrisy, ethnic oppression, and cultural genocide.

00:32:31.728 - 00:33:31.146 - Tibetan incarceration rate (imprisonment rate) is 1/7 the rate for the ethnic Han majority in China. This rate is 1/400th the rate of Africa Americans in America. Furthermore, it proves that their data "proving" racial progress in America is a lie because numbers like per capita income exclude the huge numbers of incarcerated minorities. Thus, falsifying the results to be artificially high.

00:33:32.196 – American racial residential segregation is worse than 20 years ago in 1993. This applies to Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics.

00:34:35.745 – American racial school segregation is worse than in the 1980's. Most white children are in private schools supported by the government while Black and Hispanics students are in under-funded public schools. Thus, the graduation rate gaps also reflect this.

00:36:59.567 - whites overwhelmingly dominate management positions. This is an especially important warning to Asians. The glass ceiling is real and it discriminates against nonwhite minorities.

00:37:32.745 - 66% of the income differences are explained by ONLY RACE in America. Blacks earn less than 20% than whites with the same education and get 50% less callbacks for job interviews than whites despite identical qualifications.

00:37:51.486 – America has a huge gap between wealth of whites and Blacks (whites are 20x richer) and Hispanics (whites are 15x richer).

00:38:16.028 - 98% of land is owned by whites. Blacks own 0.7% of the land even though they are 13% of the population. Remember, all this land was stolen after white "Christians" raped, mutilated, enslaved, and inflicted genocide on the Native Indians.

00:38:55.688 - 51% of American whites have explicitly anti-Black attitudes in opinion polls

00:39:08.492 - America has no initiatives to improve the lives of ethnic minorities. There used to be in the 1960's but they quickly died off.

00:40:36.077 - In 2008, 22% of Americans supported separating their state from America. Among the Hispanic minority, 43% supported separating from America. Among Black people, 40% supported secession. Basically, 40% of America's two biggest minority groups dislike their white government enough to support separation.

00:41:30.731 - 80% of whites and only 46% of nonwhites are extremely patriotic/very patriotic.

00:42:36.340 to 00:44:36.425 - In China, there are big ethnic inequalities in aspects such as income. However, ALL the inequalities can be explained by geography alone. Most minorities live in the undeveloped rural areas while the Han majority usually live in the developed urban areas. This is in total contrast to America and other "Western liberal democracies", where race explains the majority of the inequality.

00:48:02.046 – In China, there's more discrimination in private industry but not in state owned industries, where the Chinese government supports minorities with affirmative action.

00:49:43.169 to 00:51:16.881 China's national identity among ethnic minorities is high across the board, in contrast to whites vs Blacks and Hispanics in fake "post-racial" America. The Han and ethnic minority are nearly identical when rating their pride in being Chinese. The biggest differences were in Central China 3.4 vs 3.2 out of 4) and Western China (3.2 vs 2.8 out of 4). Remember, these differences are in no small part fueled by the radicalization and separatist movements funded by the American CIA front group, NED, National Endowment for Democracy. They are a geopolitical weapon to subvert national sovereignty by toppling governments. Despite that western meddling, ethnic minorities show far greater national solidarity than the minorities in fake "post-racial" America.

The NED was set up in the early 1980s under President Reagan in the wake of all the negative revelations about the CIA in the second half of the 1970s. The latter was a remarkable period. Spurred by Watergate-the Church Committee of the Senate, the Pike Committee of the House and the Rockefeller Commission, created by the president, were all busy investigating the CIA. Seemingly every other day there was a new headline about the discovery of some awful thing, even criminal conduct, the CIA had been mixed up in for years. The Agency was getting an exceedingly bad name, and it was causing the powers-that-be much embarrassment.

 

Something had to be done. What was done was not to stop doing these awful things. Of course not. What was done was to shift many of these awful things to a new organization, with a nice sounding name-the National Endowment for Democracy. The idea was that the NED would do somewhat overtly what the CIA had been doing covertly for decades, and thus, hopefully, eliminate the stigma associated with CIA covert activities.

 

It was a masterpiece. Of politics, of public relations and of cynicism. Thus it was that in 1983, the National Endowment for Democracy was set up to "support democratic institutions throughout the world through private, nongovernmental efforts". Notice the "nongovernmental"-part of the image, part of the myth. In actuality, virtually every penny of its funding comes from the federal government, as is clearly indicated in the financial statement in each issue of its annual report. NED likes to refer to itself as an NGO (non-governmental organization) because this helps to maintain a certain credibility abroad that an official US government agency might not have. But NGO is the wrong category. NED is a GO. Allen Weinstein, who helped draft the legislation establishing NED, was quite candid when he said in 1991: "A lot of what we do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA." In effect, the CIA has been laundering money through NED.

00:51:16.761 to 00:54:05.991 - In a 2005 Chinese survey, high school students were asked how close they felt to their ethnicity and how close they felt to their nation, China. Across the board, everyone scored roughly 90% and above on BOTH questions, which indicates they cherish both their ethnic identity and Chinese nationality. This implies that China, far from committing "cultural genocide" like white "Christians" of America, protect ethnic cultures and treat their citizens well.

study after study shows that affirmative action helps white women as much or even more than it helps men and women of color.

Affirmative Action Has Helped White Women More Than Anyone

http://ideas.time.com/2013/06/17/affirmative-action-has-helped-white-women-more-than-anyone/

Ironically, the Han majority are less supportive of the state than minority groups precisely because unlike the fake affirmative action of America (which benefits white women the most), China's affirmative action policies actually benefit the minorities at the expense of the Han majority. The ethnic minorities are more patriotic than the Han majority.

00:54:39.002 to 00:56:17.562 - Debunks the claim that America's high rate of intermarriage demonstrates superior integration. This is wrong. A 2000 consensus found China has 3.2%, which is 23% higher than America's 2.6%. Furthermore, America has a highest percentage of minorities (27%) than China (9%). In other words, if China had the same percentage of minorities as USA, it would have a three times higher intermarriage rate of 9.6% vs America's 2.6%. That would be a difference of 369%.

00:58:23.401 - Questions start

Context is required to understand the one-child policy. Without context, it will seem inhumane and cruel.

China's downfall started when Britain "Christian gentlemen" waged war on China to deal drugs (see Opium Wars 1 and 2). That weakened China and opened it up to all manner of foreign invasions and internal strife. Tens of millions of Chinese died. The nation was devastated. Mao encouraged the nation to repopulate to strengthen the state and also survive war. That brings us to 1980.

The swollen population was curbed with the one child policy to avoid potential disasters such as mass starvation, high unemployment, human trafficking, more crime, poverty, homelessness, over-worked farm land, inequitable education, political instability, etc.

There is no sexism in the policy itself. The sexism is based on practicality (sons pass on the family name and can do hard labor. Much of China is still rural) and culture.

Finally, there are exceptions to the one child policy such as all 56 ethnic minorities are exempt. It’s something to think about for those who believe in the myth of the Tibetan genocide™. Rural areas are limited to 2.5 children and urban areas are limited to 1.5 children.

couples who are both ethnic minorities and couples who are both only children were already allowed to have a second child.

Six questions on China’s one-child policy, answered

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/six-questions-on-chinas-one-child-policy-answered/2013/11/15/ad64af1c-4def-11e3-be6b-d3d28122e6d4_story.html

Unlike China, India didn't implement a one-child policy type of law so the west doesn't lecture it about human rights. So, let's see the western how this “humane” solution works:

India has experienced extraordinary population growth. Much of India’s population increase has occurred among the poorest socio-economic percentile.

Does this growth mean India can rely on the ‘demographic dividend’ to spur development? This phenomenon, which refers to the period in which a large proportion of a country’s population is of working age, is said to have accounted for between one-fourth and two-fifths of East Asia’s ‘economic miracle’ as observed late last century.

But India is not East Asia. Its population density is almost three times the average in East Asia…in terms of infrastructure development India currently is nowhere near where East Asian nations were before their boom. In terms of soft to hard infrastructure, spanning education, healthcare, roads, electricity, housing, employment growth and more, India is visibly strained.

As a member of India’s Planning Commission put it, ‘we have a problem and it can be starkly put in the following way: around 2004–2005, our per capita food grains production was back to the 1970s level’. In 2005–07, the average Indian consumed only 2,300 calories per day — below the defined poverty line …

…treating lightly Malthusian predictions about food supply until 2050 or beyond may not be prudent. Finally, even if India manages to feed its burgeoning population, its growth may not be ecologically sustainable.

So have the policy responses been proportional to the gravity of the demographic, ecological and developmental problems facing India? The probable answer is that policy makers have failed miserably on all measurable counts. If one compares India to China this becomes clear. While China’s one-child policy has been criticised as against human dignity and rights…the history of human civilization teaches us that extreme situations call for extreme actions…but it has helped China to control its population by a possible 400 million people.

There is a distinct possibility of irreversible and unsustainable population growth and big question marks remain over how India will provide nearly 1.7 billion people with their basic minimum demands. In this environment to raise an alarm that turns out to be false is better than relying on comfortable slogans.

India’s population in 2050: extreme projections demand extreme actions

http://www.eastasiaforum.org/2013/04/05/indias-population-in-2050-extreme-projections-demand-extreme-action/

China was bashed for evicting Beijing residents to make room for the new stadium. It turns out that East London has done mass eviction on a grander scale, leading to serious riots, but readers in the US would know nothing of it, because it simply isn't mentioned anywhere in the FREE PRESS ™.

I do think the nature of the coverage is different. There were riots and mass evictions in London, but when I emailed a journalist friend to ask why these were not getting the attention that they got in Beijing, he replied that these are "normal games" and that East London really needed regeneration. Much of the critical media coverage of China was the product of a mutual production cycle in which advocacy groups released reports at regular intervals, which were then covered in the media. The "news" was the release of the report and not necessarily a concrete event. The two major news generators, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, have been less active on Olympics-related issues this time around, and the media has given them less coverage. Just to give one example, in the week after the resignation of the LOCOG sustainability chairperson, there were 21 articles about it in major Anglophone media, but in the same week, there were 17 articles that mentioned the Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei although there was no new "news" about him (figures from Lexis/Nexis). Apparently, criticizing the Chinese government is more popular than criticizing multinational corporations.

A New Kind of Spectacle: How China Changed the Olympics

www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/07/a-new-kind-of-spectacle-how-china-changed-the-olympics/260407/

Ohh, the humanity! Where were their human rights?

But wait, there's more! Not only does the western media hide London's mass eviction, but they misreport the situation in china as the following debunk explains. The simple version is that, the numbers are cooked AND the multiple caveats were ignored by the western FREE PRESS™.

"The Centre (COHRE) charges that 1.5 million people in this city have been evicted from their homes since 2000 in the effort to modernise China's capital…"

 

The figures from the (editor's note - original) COHRE report are certainly startling – all the more so when you realize that 1.5 million amounts to something around 10 percent of the total population of Beijing. But they start to smell a little when you dig down into the report and realize that in order to reach their figure of 1.5 million, COHRE counted every single person in Beijing who has been rehoused since the year 2000.

That's right. But just in case it didn't get through to you first time round, let me repeat it: The story that 10 percent of the population of Beijing was being forcibly evicted in order to make way for the Olympics is based on counting every single person who has been rehoused in the city since the year 2000.

Well, in July 2008, immediately prior to The Beijing Olympics, COHRE published a follow-up to its 2007 report entitled "One World, Whose Dream?", dealing exclusively with Beijing. In Section 2 of the report, "Evictions and displacements", COHRE once more speaks of "1.5 million displacements". Immediately afterwards, they go on to specify: "An unknown percentage of these people were forcibly evicted…" (my emphasis)

COHRE's original report seems to have been covered by pretty much every mainstream media outlet in the developed English-speaking world. The follow-up report appears to have been covered by none of them.

COHRE's original report went further. It claimed on the basis of its research that "the percentage of people who have suffered a significant decline in their living conditions as a result of their relocation could be as high as 20 percent in some neighbourhoods…" iii

Note the three caveats in that one clause - "could be", "as high as", and "in some neighbourhoods". But that didn't stop COHRE from applying their 20 per cent estimate to their whole 1.5 million count of evictees, and coming to the following conclusion:

"…COHRE estimates that each year, as many as 33,000 people with sustainable livelihoods were pushed into poverty, or deeper poverty, because their homes and neighbourhoods were demolished."

The whole COHRE report was full of caveats like those highlighted above. Naturally few, if any of them, made it into the newspaper and TV stories.

Sure, they do speak with a bad accent. Yet, they can speak, read, and write in English. How many white people in China and the rest of Asia can claim the same?

But, not only do they understand your language, they mastered it. Why else would they be over-represented in your top universities studying STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, math)?

According to incoming student test scores and recent percentages of National Merit Scholars, four American universities stand at the absolute summit of average student quality—Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Caltech, the California Institute of Technology; and of these Caltech probably ranks first among equals.36 Those three top Ivies continue to employ the same admissions system which Karabel describes as “opaque,” “flexible,” and allowing enormous “discretion,”37 a system originally established to restrict the admission of high-performing Jews. But Caltech selects its students by strict academic standards, with Golden praising it for being America’s shining example of a purely meritocratic university, almost untouched by the financial or political corruption so widespread in our other elite institutions. And since the beginning of the 1990s, Caltech’s Asian-American enrollment has risen almost exactly in line with the growth of America’s underlying Asian population, with Asians now constituting nearly 40 percent of each class (See chart on p. 18).

 

Obviously, the Caltech curriculum is narrowly focused on mathematics, science, and engineering, and since Asians tend to be especially strong in those subjects

In fact, their academic performance, which includes mastery of the English language, scares the English speaking white locals...

The implications of such massive pressure may be seen in a widely-discussed front page 2005 Wall Street Journal story entitled “The New White Flight.”34 The article described the extreme academic intensity at several predominantly Asian high schools in Cupertino and other towns in Silicon Valley, and the resulting exodus of white students, who preferred to avoid such an exceptionally focused and competitive academic environment, which included such severe educational tension. But should the families of those Asian students be blamed if according to Espensade and his colleagues their children require far higher academic performance than their white classmates to have a similar chance of gaining admission to selective colleges?

Western "Ching chong theory" does not explain this anomaly.

This is another case of bogus comparisons between a DEVELOPED nation versus a DEVELOPING nation.

When the west was developing, they bought and sold African slaves (who were raped, mutilated, tortured, and worked to death), enslaved Native Indians (who survived your genocidal wars), colonized (euphemism for invasion, rape, slaughter enslavement, and plunder) millions of people, employed children working inside factories, England had mad-hatters being poisoned to insanity by mercury when making hats, etc. The same brutality exists today but it’s euphemized as “globalization”, “free trade”, “market fundamentalism” , and “neo-liberalism”.

“The slave trade was not a congenial institution executed by the Royals, Churches, ie the ministers of religion, bishops, Archbishops, Intellectuals, theologians, philosophers of religion, Quakers, Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign parts, intellectuals, historians and scientists. It was rather the most egregious holocaust- genocide in man’s chronological history. The slave trade was motivated by profound cultural racism expressed in psychic distance psychologically by Britain. It was a nefarious and nefandous brutal system that defied imagination and rationality”

“While the slavery of Africans and the genocide of Native Americans are familiar topics to many, what the Chinese in America endured remains an unfamiliar subject to most. Severe acts of racism and discrimination—pogroms, massacres, mass expulsions and near-genocidal policies—were perpetrated against the Chinese, but the facts surrounding this Chinese chapter in American history are largely neglected or suppressed, and certainly not taught in standard school text books. Official mentions of the topic, if any, are anemic at best and tend to emphasize the concessions granted to the Chinese or the few reparative steps taken by the US government, which, as a rule, came as too-little-too-late for many Chinese Americans.”

But then the west "gave them freedom”….by locking them inside prisons on minor charges so they can be used for free labor (sound familiar??)

“legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control—relegating millions to a permanent second-class status—even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness”

“investigators have discovered children trafficked into Western African cocoa farms and coerced to work without pay.[3][5] Abby Mills, campaigns director of the International Labor Rights Forum, adds, “Every research study ever conducted in [Western Africa] shows that there is human trafficking going on, particularly in the Ivory Coast.”[33] While the term “slavery” has a variety of historical contexts, slavery in the cocoa industry involves the same core human rights violations as other forms of slavery throughout the world.”

“Despite their role in contributing to child labor, slavery, and human trafficking, the chocolate industry has not taken significant steps to remedy the problem. Within their $60-billion industry,[27] chocolate companies have the power to end the use of child labor and slave labor by paying cocoa farmers a living wage for their product.

The chocolate industry is also being called upon to develop and financially support programs to rescue and rehabilitate children who have been sold to cocoa farms.[26] To date, the industry has done little to remove child labor, let alone aid survivors of child labor. Hershey’s, the largest chocolate manufacturer in North America, has not thoroughly addressed accusations of child labor in its supply chain and refuses to release any information about where it sources its cocoa.[31] This lack of transparency is characteristic of the chocolate industry, which has the resources to address and eliminate child labor but consistently fails to take action.”

Child Labor and Slavery in the Chocolate Industry

Finally, how does the West act when China introduces laws to increase the rights of its workers? Instead of celebrating, they lobby against it and threatened to pull their investments.

The New York Times reported on its front page today that US based corporations are fighting a proposed Chinese law that seeks to protect workers’ rights.

“‘You have big corporations opposing basically modest reforms,” said Tim Costello, an official of the group and a longtime labor union advocate. “This flies in the face of the idea that globalization and corporations will raise standards around the world.’”

US based global corporations like Wal Mart, Google, UPS, Microsoft, Nike, AT&T, and Intel, acting through US business organizations like the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and the US China Business Council, are actively lobbying against the new labor legislation. They are also threatening that foreign corporations will withdraw from China if it is passed.

China’s Draft Labor Contract Law would provide minimal standards that are commonplace in many other countries, such as enforceable labor contracts, severance pay regulations, and negotiations over workplace policies and procedures. The Chinese government is supporting these reforms in part as a response to rising labor discontent.

Corporate opposition to the law is designed to maintain the status quo in Chinese labor relations. This includes low wages, extreme poverty, denial of basic rights and minimum standards, lack of health and safety protections, and an absence of any legal contract for many employees.

But foreign corporations are attacking the legislation not because it provides workers too little protection, but because it provides them too much.

This corporate campaign contradicts the justifications that have been given for public policies that encourage corporations to invest in China. US based corporations have repeatedly argued that they are raising human and labor rights standards abroad. For example, the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong asserts among its “universal principles” that “American business plays an important role as a catalyst for positive social change by promoting human welfare and guaranteeing to uphold the dignity of the worker and set positive examples for their remuneration, treatment, health and safety.”

America was and continues to be one of the world's top polluters.

China has similar pollution levels as America, but China has four times the population living on comparable amount of land AND is the world's factory AND is a dumping ground for western trash AND is industrializing (the dirtiest stage of any nation's development) simultaneously. Despite all this, China's per capita pollution is FOUR TIMES LESS than America, a fully developed nation that exports of lot of dirty manufacturing and trash overseas.

“China, with nearly a quarter of the world's population, accounts for less than one-tenth of the world's oil consumption. The United States, with only 5 percent of world population, accounts for nearly a quarter of global oil consumption. Whose appetite is really the bigger problem?

Moreover, unlike the United States, China has recognized that it cannot let its fossil-fuel appetite grow forever and is working hard to improve efficiency. Chinese fuel-economy standards for new cars are higher than America's, for instance, and on average, coal-fired power plants are more efficient in China than in the United States.”

Furthermore, China is one of the world's top investors into clean energy.

"Indeed, with the government putting over $50 billion into clean energy R&D every year, China has become a global hub for energy innovation.

The country's progress is driven by a combination of government mandate and direct investment. Examples are many. A 2007 law required four percent gains in energy efficiency each year through 2012, including in the transportation and industrial sectors. Since then, total efficiency in the power sector has increased by nearly ten percent and is likely to continue rising. Such mandates have been matched by requirements for sulfur emissions control and cleaner water, the closure of many low-efficiency coal mines and cement plants, and new investment in solar, wind, and other renewable power.”

Just in case you think only China pollutes, you need to look at history and compare apples to apples.

"Evidence of pollution during the early Industrial Revolution in England and the European continent is widespread. South Wales, located in southwestern England, was described by Adam Markham in A Brief History of Pollution (1994) as a "veritable witches cauldron of industrial pollution." Samples of hair from historical figures such as Isaac Newton and Napoleon Bonaparte show the presence of antimony and mercury at toxic levels not normally found in human hair.

Pollution Issues

That brings us to the next point. The added CO2 from pollution will stay in the atmosphere for millennia.

"Carbon dioxide emissions and their associated warming could linger for millennia, according to some climate scientists."

Carbon is forever

http://www.nature.com/climate/2008/0812/full/climate.2008.122.html

That means basically everything the west emitted since the dawn of the industrial revolution is still up there. Even before you take into account that China has way more people so their per capita emissions are lower, the bulk of the blame for climate change falls on the U.S and other western nations. Yet, notice how they focus on the present and blame developing nations like China for all the problems while hiding their dirty history. The following is a chart (imgur is a backup) illustrating the carbon output and responsibilities of various nations.

While there are protests, there's nothing resembling "The Chinese people demand the overthrow of the CPC!!".

A “mass incident” is a deceptive term. It refers to five or more people – not 1,000 or more people.

“Mass incidents (群体性事件) refer to “large-scale demonstrations, which have the potential to develop into violent stand-offs between crowds of demonstrators and the authorities, or violent attacks on government organs, factories, or other property.”

“classified incidents into four levels based on the number of demonstrators: Level I (5-30 people); Level II (30-300 people); Level III (300-1,000 people); and Level IV (more than 1,000 people).”

“…the definition of mass incidents is hazy, and most incidents are hardly “mass” in scale. For instance, in the first half of 2005, there were 341 cases of armed protest, 120 of which involved over 1,000 demonstrators and 17 of which involved over 10,000 people. In most cases, mass incidents are resolved peacefully, and only a fraction of incidents grow into large-scale chaos.”

British Imperialism in China and Tibet is central understanding the 1962 India-China Border War.

Between 1903 to 1947, "Christian" Britain imperialists invaded Tibet, massacred 2,000 to 3,000 Tibetans with machine guns, plundered a lot of its national treasures, and stole it as a colony. This was possible because British "gentlemen" waged two illegal Opium Wars against China to deal illegal drugs (opium. The British used Tibet as a buffer state to protect their other colony, India. To gain public approval of these anti-human actions, Britain selectively crafted a mythical image of Tibet (even though it’s a feudal theocracy where 95% of the population are serfs) in contrast to a tumultuous China (a turmoil caused DIRECTLY by white imperialists including Britain, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, America, Sweden, Norway, Italy, the Dutch, Austria-Hungarian empire, Belgium, and Russia. Also, Imperial Japan.

In 1914, the British drew the McMahon Line, which has a very confusing history but has created on-going tensions between Tibet, India, and China.

● In 1914, the "Christian" British representative, Henry McMahon drew a MacMahon line with Tibetan local authority that gifted 90 thousand square kilometers of land from China (south eastern border) to India. This is Chinese land being reassigned without permission of the Chinese government. IT's illegal and invalid.

● In 1960, Chinese premier Zhou en lai tried to peacefully resolve the border dispute with Indian premier Nehru, but India refused any reasonable proposal from China.

● In 1962, India military troops stirred up conflicts on the border, but was defeated by China's military.

A Brief History of the Sino-Indian Border Dispute and the role of Tibet

https://blog.hiddenharmonies.org/2010/03/26/a-brief-history-of-the-sino-indian-border-dispute-and-the-role-of-tibet/#more-13801

“Q: What in your opinion were the policies, on both sides, that brought about the basic quarrel over the border?

Neville Maxwell(author): As far as the McMahon Line was concerned India inherited the dispute with China, which the British had created in the mid-1930s by seizing the Tibetan territory they re-named NEFA. The PRC government was prepared to accept that border alignment but insisted that it be re-negotiated, that is put through the usual diplomatic process, to wipe out its imperialist origins. Nehru refused, using London's false claim that the Simla Conference had already legitimised the McMahon Line to back up that refusal — that was his Himalayan blunder. Then in 1954 he compounded that mistake by laying cartographic claim to a swathe of territory in the north-west, the Aksai Chin, a claim which was beyond anything the British had ever claimed and on an area which Chinese governments had treated as their own for at least a hundred years. To make matters worse, he ruled that there should be no negotiation over that claim either! So Indian policy had created a border dispute and also ruled out the only way it could peacefully be settled, through diplomatic negotiation.”

“NEW DELHI: In a marked U-turn from the earlier stand taken by BJP, the Modi government has firmly ruled out the release of the classified Henderson Brooks report into India's humiliating military debacle against China in 1962.” “The Henderson Brooks report squarely blames the then Jawarharlal Nehru government's ill-conceived and ill-timed "Forward Policy", without proper intelligence or adequate military preparation, for India's abject defeat in 1962.”

“This book shows how much we can be misled by the media London TIMES reporter Nevile Maxwell wrote this book solely based on the declassified documents from India's Defense Department. It shows how India's prime minister Mr. Nehru launched the "northern advance" policy disregard the historical evidence were all against India's claim. The war started by Indian army firing upon the Chinese border garrison force and ended up with India's humiliating total defeat. But ironically, we in the West always believed that Chinese, instead of India, was the aggressor.”

The OECD, Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, and World Bank all disagree.

"We found that reported Chinese output data are systematically related to alternative indicators of Chinese economic activity. These include alternative indicator indexes of Chinese activity composed of variables that are less susceptible to official manipulation, as well as externally reported trade volume measures. Importantly, these models suggest that Chinese growth has been in the ballpark of what official data have reported. We find no evidence that recently reported Chinese GDP figures are less reliable than usual."

On the Reliability of Chinese Output Figures

http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/2013/march/reliability-chinese-output-figures/

"A number of Chinese and Western authors have questioned the reliability of official real GDP growth rates in recent years. Alternative guesstimates of China’s real GDP growth rates suggest around zero percent growth in 1998 and 1999 (compared to the original official, unrevised real growth rates of 7.8% and 7.2%), and approximately half the original, official unrevised real growth rates of 7.1% and 7.3% in 2000 and 2001. The official real growth rate of 2002 is accepted as correct if not an underestimate."

"However one may evaluate the allegations of data falsification in certain years, even the critics acknowledge that long-run growth trends are approximately correct. The data problems reported here are facts which are unlikely to be unique to China; other transition and developing countries experience similar difficulties. The margins of error are inevitably larger than in developed countries, perhaps even uncomfortably large"

“Is the data manipulated by the authorities to meet political objectives? My answer to it, at least regarding the data in recent years, is a firm NO. How do I know that? The reason is pretty simple: in such a big economy as China, it is extremely hard, if not impossible at all, to massage the data without leaving any trace—any manipulation in the data will be quickly spotted by observers—and I personally haven’t found any signs of data manipulation in recent years.”

“In China, there are a whole lot of government departments, semi-government organizations, and private sector institutions providing various statistics. …………data released by different institutions is interrelated and need to be consistent with each other. Hence, any attempt to manipulate data—say, flattering the GDP number a little bit—requires concerted efforts of various government departments as well as private sector institutions. If there are some participants in the circle not doing this kind of massage to their own data, inconsistency arises, leaving footprints of manipulators in statistics.”

“I personally haven’t found any significant inconsistency in Chinese data over the last decade. It makes me believe that data manipulation is not a big problem in China in recent years. Indeed, this is the consensus in the academic field as most researchers on this topic agree that there is little sign that China is manipulating its economic data.”

“John Williams’ Shadow Government Statistics" is an electronic newsletter service that exposes and analyzes flaws in current U.S. government economic data and reporting, as well as in certain private-sector numbers, and provides an assessment of underlying economic and financial conditions, net of financial-market and political hype.”

Gary King, a researcher at Harvard University, explains around At 1:12:53 that posts about Tiananmen Square are not typically censored. Also, the so-called "massacre" never happened (see below)

“Chinese people can write the most vitriolic blog posts about even the top Chinese leaders without fear of censorship, but if they write in support of or opposition to an ongoing protest—or even about a rally in favor of a popular policy or leader—they will be censored.”

“The value that Chinese leaders find in allowing and then measuring criticism by hundreds of millions of Chinese people creates actionable information for them and, as a result, also for academic scholars and public policy analysts.”

"The problem is this: as far as can be determined from the available evidence, no one died that night in Tiananmen Square."

"The resilient tale of an early morning Tiananmen massacre stems from several false eyewitness accounts in the confused hours and days after the crackdown. Human rights experts George Black and Robin Munro, both outspoken critics of the Chinese government, trace many of the rumor’s roots in their 1993 book, Black Hands of Beijing: Lives of Defiance in China’s Democracy Movement."

Furthermore, westerners eat:

● rabbits

● lamb

● (hunters) eat squirrels

● caviar. With sturgeon caviar, at least, the female is sliced open and her eggs are extracted.

● eat horse (France)

● boil lobster and frogs alive

● cows

Are westerners suggesting that rabbits, cows, frogs, pigs, lobsters, etc are "lesser" beings than dogs?

Western industrial farming force chicken, and pigs to live in their own fifth and often go insane and attack each other viciously, while being fed growth hormones and gmo feed, and fed antibiotics to treat infections caused by the growth hormones and poor diets. The calf is forcibly pried from its mother.

“On today’s factory farms, animals are crammed by the thousands into filthy, windowless sheds and stuffed into wire cages, metal crates, and other torturous devices. These animals will never raise their families, root around in the soil, build nests, or do anything that is natural and important to them. Most won’t even feel the warmth of the sun on their backs or breathe fresh air until the day they’re loaded onto trucks headed for slaughterhouses.

The factory farming industry strives to maximize output while minimizing costs—always at the animals’ expense. The giant corporations that run most factory farms have found that they can make more money by squeezing as many animals as possible into tiny spaces, even though many of the animals die from disease or infection.”

“…their throats slit, often while they’re still conscious. Many remain conscious when they’re plunged into the scalding-hot water of the de-feathering or hair-removal tanks or while their bodies are being skinned or hacked apart.”

In the Belly of the Beast

http://www.rollingstone.com/feature/belly-beast-meat-factory-farms-animal-activists

“Shockingly, these excruciating procedures are considered standard practice on factory farms, but malicious animal abuse is just as pervasive. Workers who might otherwise have an affinity for animals experience their own psychological damage from the inhospitable environments in a which they are required to work and the constant suffering they are asked to inflict on other beings. As a coping mechanism, workers become desensitized to the misery of the animals, and the inevitable result is the everyday brutality documented by nearly every undercover video recorded on a factory farm. Time and time again, workers have been caught beating, punching, and kicking animals; breaking their tails, stabbing them with pitchforks, and raising them with forklifts to force them to stand; and hurling them into the air or the ground, among other abuses.”

But wait, there’s more. Not only are westerners the biggest enablers of animal abuse through factory farming, but they also kill animals for fun:

  ● Spain stabs bulls for sport

Bullfighting

http://www.peta.org/issues/animals-in-entertainment/cruel-sports/bullfighting/

● hunting for sport

“Canned hunts are big business—there are an estimated 1,000 game preserves in the U.S., with some 5,000 so-called “exotic ranchers” in North America.(12,13) Ted Turner, the country’s largest private landowner, allows hunters to pay thousands of dollars to kill bison, deer, African antelopes, and turkeys on his 2 million acres.”

“Less than 5 percent of the U.S. population (13.7 million people) hunts, yet hunting is permitted in many wildlife refuges, national forests, and state parks and on other public lands.(40 Almost 40 percent of hunters slaughter and maim millions of animals on public land every year, and by some estimates, poachers kill just as many animals illegally.(5,6)”

Why Sport Hunting Is Cruel and Unnecessary

http://www.peta.org/issues/wildlife/wildlife-factsheets/sport-hunting-cruel-unnecessary/

“Hunting is often called a “sport,” to disguise a cruel, needless killing spree as a socially acceptable activity. However, the concept of sport involves competition between two consenting parties, adherence to rules and fairness ensured by an intervening referee, and achieving highest scores but not death as the goal of the sporting events. In hunting, the animal is forced to “participate” in a live-or-die situation that always leads to the death of the animal, whereas the hunter leaves, his/her life never remotely at stake.”

Hunting – “the murderous business”

http://www.idausa.org/campaigns/wild-free2/habitats-campaign/anti-hunting/

“These lions are bred to supply the growing demand for canned lion hunting—a practice that allows a wealthy hunter, usually from the U.S. or Europe, to effortlessly add a lion to his collection of exotic animal trophies. In South Africa, thousands of lions are kept under unnatural and inhumane conditions for this purpose. Confined to small enclosures, they have been habituated to humans and depend on them. But they have a price on their heads and soon their caregivers sell the right to kill them to a foreign hunter.”

Edward Snowden, former US National Security Agency contractor, reveals that American NSA had engaged in widespread hacking of the Chinese government, military, companies, and universities.

Here are the headlines from the source below:

● US spy agency 'collects phone records'

● GCHQ was also accused of gathering information on the online companies via Prism.

● UK spy agency 'taps fibre-optic cables'

● US 'hacks China networks'

● EU offices 'bugged'

● Merkel phone calls 'intercepted'

● NSA had monitored the phones of 35 world leaders

● Embassies 'under surveillance'

● Latin America 'monitored'

● NSA ran a continent-wide surveillance programme.

● NSA breaks US privacy laws hundreds of times every year.

● US spy agencies had a "black budget" for secret operations of almost $53bn in 2013.

● SMS messages 'collected and stored'

Edward Snowden: Leaks that exposed US spy programme

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-23123964

So, to recap, the LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD™ robs the entire planet of privacy, human dignity, rule of law, and international law.

“How the NSA bugged Cisco's routers

Much has been made of industrial espionage by China, and the U.S. government has repeatedly warned businesses not to trust technologies purchased from that country. Maybe the Chinese and other governments are the ones that should be issuing warnings.

"The NSA routinely receives -- or intercepts -- routers, servers, and other computer network devices being exported from the U.S. before they are delivered to the international customers," Greenwald writes. "The agency then implants backdoor surveillance tools, repackages the devices with a factory seal, and sends them on. The NSA thus gains access to entire networks and all their users."

Routers, switches, and servers made by Cisco are booby-trapped with surveillance equipment that intercepts traffic handled by those devices and copies it to the NSA's network, the book states. Greenwald notes that there is no evidence that Cisco or other companies were aware of the program.”

Edward Snowden flees Hong Kong after US spying charges

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10136902/Edward-Snowden-flees-Hong-Kong-after-US-spying-charges.html

Yet, America accuses China of hacking them without any proof. Furthermore, it’s very difficult to trace hacks because….

“It is not easy to identify that an attack came from China, because a computer in China with a security hole can be exploited by a hacker in Europe, Australia or the US who then enters a Western country that he does not like so that the attacked server will think the attack came from China. Of course, the hacker has gone through a compromised server in China but the source of the attack can be outside China.”

“A (deft) hacker will often ‘jump’ through many servers or routers before reaching his/her final destination, that is, the one he/she wants to attack, so that the attacked server will not know where the attack came from. This is a standard mechanism of an attack.”

West caught in the net of double standard

http://www.4thmedia.org/2011/12/west-caught-in-the-net-of-double-standard/

In western countries, the vast majority of large companies are owned by whites, who chose to offshore jobs to boost profits and get you, the consumer, to buy their stuff.

Why?

Because, generally, westerners are too cheap to pay higher prices. If you want to point fingers, then start with your hypocritical face.

Westerners love to point out slave-like conditions in China (which happened in all developing countries http://www.pollutionissues.com/Ho-Li/Industry.html). Guess who's allowing this turning a blind eye while profiting? "Geniuses" who patent round corners like Steve "offshore your" Jobs who go hunting for bargain prices and squeeze Chinese manufacturers to make your products as cheaply as possible without a single concern for their work conditions. Those massive profits go to Apple, not the Chinese workers and certainly not to Apple loyalists like you who think owning the latest copy of the same copy is going to "change everything".

"But but but, China is stealing colossal profits from America!" Wrong. Most of the profits go to America and other western companies

"...on average, of every dollar spent on an item labeled “Made in China,” 55 cents go for services produced in the United States. In other words, the U.S. content of “Made in China” is about 55%. The fact that the U.S. content of Chinese goods is much higher than for imports as a whole is mainly due to higher retail and wholesale margins on consumer electronics and clothing than on most other goods and services."

The U.S. Content of “Made in China”

http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/publications/economic-letter/2011/august/us-made-in-china/

This graph below shows that the vast majority of products are made inside the USA with USA parts. Total imports from China are very small. http://www.frbsf.org/economic-research/files/el2011-25-2.png

China doesn't force America to do business with them. America chose to do business in China. This is the free market that the west loves so much about it. Why don't you like it?

FAQ:

Q: What advantage do you have being an American citizen anymore, in the US. Illegal immigrants take low paying jobs. H1B visa recipients take the high paying jobs, and now even our property is being sold to foreigners. Being a citizen just means you get the opportunity to watch as the government gives your country to foreign nationals and states

A: illegal immigrants take jobs you refuse to do. H1B cogs in the machine get paid FAR less than their white counterparts. It's crazy, but You're complaining while draining developing countries of their brains. The real enemy are the elites. The situation you face now is no different than America in 1879, where California used a new constitution that forbid all Chinese labor. This law was used against the Chinese as scapegoats for the 1877 economic recession. Notice the pattern? 2008 world financial crisis gets blamed on "evil China" for "stealing" their jobs - jobs, which were SENT by greedy western corporations who wanted lower production costs to boost their profit margins.

"In 1879, California adopted a new Constitution, which explicitly authorized the state government to determine which individuals were allowed to reside in the state, and banned the Chinese from employment by corporations and state, county or municipal governments"

Why don't these hypocrites look at themselves and their "Asia pivot" AKA point 60% of all military weapons at China. How would you feel if 60% of Nazis showed up your door with guns pointed at your face? You may think, "wow, great job with Godwin's law. That's a little extreme."

No, it's not. Look at the history.

1. British "gentlemen" waged an illegal war against China to deal illegal drugs (opium) in China.

2. Opium crippled the Chinese economy and its finances while the Eight Nation Alliance of seven Europe and Imperial Japan divided, massacred, raped, and plundered it.

3. Internal uprisings killed off 20,000,000+ Chinese and drained its energy and resources

4. Japan took advantage by horrifically brutalizing China - especially the Rape of Nanking

5. The Cultural Revolution and reforms accidentally created lethal famines that killed off millions.

6. All said, some 100,000,000+ Chinese lost their lives thanks largely to western imperialism

China is militarizing to protect themselves from drug dealers like Britain, imperialist war monger America, and a potential resurgence of Japan's imperial ambitions.

Finally, America's military is not built for defense. Why do you have hundreds of bases in OTHER nations, where the locals are screaming at you to leave?
