    The Chinese people right from the start believed that the virus was bio warfare from the US to destroy their economy. This is why they were singing their national anthem from their balcony. It was to show that they will never succumb to our pressure, no matter what we do to them. When certain nations began questioning our role in developing the virus, and China asked us to open our labs, Washington and its propaganda networks began flipping it and throwing the blame on China for not containing it.

    As for Australia, they get their directives from Washington.

    If China had a large fleet and it was sailing around the Caribbean to protect nations like Venezuela from being invaded, do you really think that Washington would have no problem with it? And yet we do have ports on the Atlantic and Pacific, so unlike China, we're not dependent on our exports going through the Caribbean for survival. It doesn't matter how one looks at it, our fleet in the S. China Seas is definitely a threat to China.

    Look Poohbear, no one likes the Chinese system and I'm sure when the time is ripe and they have prospered enough, they will start loosening up. But they never will as long as Washington keeps provoking them.

    Today I read China is seizing islands around India, calling them their "string of pearls."
    Nothing to do with America - I have met Chinese nationals who flog the "America" bit
    to justify what they are doing. Without America maybe China would have claimed the
    entire Indian and Pacific ocean by now.

    And without green cheese the moon would be hollow ! You think Stalin or Adolf would have let China get into the dominant position they are if they were running the show ? ...

    It is actions like what Trump is doing and what Israel is doing - with Trump - that is emboldening China. Perhaps they will start assassinating political rivals next too.

    Had one fellow arguing "might is right" - fair enough - but if we break the rules - so can others who have might - and China has as much might as we do. Speaking of Might - would be interesting to hear India's take on this .. as they also have might - maybe India should seize these Islands.

    You have a keen way of seeing the true matter for what it really is, Jeannette.

    China is now a very successful trader and investor in Africa. Both the UK and US Capitalists have raped the continent every chance they have had and now China has gone in to have a look-see. When a number of African states first began looking to Communism as a possible solution to their post-colonial problems China was highly praised and has already had some positive input as far back as the mid-'70s with its construction of the TanZam Railway.

    There are Capitalists and then there are Capitalists. The ones who are anti-Socialist/Communist are very foolish. If their ideology mistreats the population it is obvious that those people will seek out alternative ideologies.

    American presence in the Pacific is not quite like Chinese presence.
    You are giving moral equivalence to a liberal democratic state verses
    a Totalitarian, Communist Empire.
    People in Hong Kong were fine with the British - not with China today.
    Taiwan is fine with America, but not with China.
    And we can relate to South Korea but not North Korea.

    "Raped the continent" huh? I think Africans are waking up to Chinese bearing gifts.
    Those that stick the closest to the "rapists" are doing the best.

    I didn't make a moral equivalency of any sort.

    These rules were not put place just for the "good guys" to follow - but for the "bad guys" as well - to avoid war and atrocity.

    You seem to think that the the nations on your "good guys" can break the rules - but expect the "bad guys" to not break the rules. While this may be a pleasant fantasy - fantasy is what it is.

    We managed to get away with this in the past - for reasons explained to you previously - we used to be the only economic game in town.

    Things have changed.

    When Ghadaffi wanted to take Africa off the petro dollar and put them on a gold standard to better their economies, Obama and Hillary killed him - And you're saying the Africans should go with Washington and not China?

    You're joking right?

    Poohbear, you're living in a dream world. I'm going to give you a few examples of Washington's gifts to other countries. When Bulgaria the poorest nation in the EU, was installing the Russian pipeline to carry gas into Europe, the President of Bulgaria was paid a visit from either McCain or Biden- I don't recall which. The pipeline was stopped and 80 thousand men lost their jobs. Bulgaria also lost the billions it would have made every year on transit fees.

    Of course the President of Bulgaria was kicked out, and five years later, they were begging Russia to reinstate the pipeline.

    When China was negotiating a train route to carry its goods into Europe from the Greek port of Piraeus to Belgrade, which was something those countries needed badly for their economy, our NGO's began their regime change protests to overthrow the governments. It didn't matter to the US how corrupt the presidents we put in are, as long as they do our biddings.

    Then there's Ukraine, where Nuland had protests and overthrew the elected president, so she could put in the mafia's and Nazis. Today Ukraine which was the wealthiest part of the Soviet Union, has one of the lowest standard of living in the world. And then of course there's the Philippines which could have been making money over the wealth in the S. China Seas, but was stopped from negotiating with China about 6 years ago by the US - and we could go on and on.

    Ghadaffi was killed by a kid with an AK47 after he was captured by rebels.
    The rebels recognized they needed to protect him so apparently it wasn't
    planned. Just the same that kid became a hero to the rebels.
    I don't think Obama or Hillary told that kid to execute Ghadaffi.

    Are you saying Britain or America are creating islands in the South Pacific?
    Are they oppressing the Taiwanese?
    Are they sending "fishing boats" to menace Vietnamese oil rigs?

    You sure believe in lots of conspiracy theories. Aren't you in the wrong forum?

    The proof of Washington's success in domestic propaganda is that Americans ask, "Why do they hate us so much when we are just trying to help them?" I experienced this phenomenon first-hand in the Vietnam war. "Why are the 'Vietcong' killing us when we have come here to help them against Communism?"

    It goes on and on. I suppose it comes from the U.S. spilling its guts in two world wars as "the good guys" and though the American soldier fought an extra mile to put down "the bad guys" in Europe the U.S. government has hence been playing the hero card and expecting the world to admire the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons of the good guy Americans who have long passed away. Well, we can't blame today's dupped American soldier for believing the propaganda but that propaganda is generally only successful in a domestic capacity. Most of the outside world either has its eyes wide open or (in the case of former Soviet nations) are just now beginning to wake up. :wierdface:

    "When Ghadaffi wanted to take Africa off the petro dollar and put them on a gold standard to better their economies, Obama and Hillary killed him"

    That was rather snide - considering much of the above is fact .. Ghadaffi did threaten to mess with the petro dollar. Do you have a better theory for why they killed the guy ? - after all - he was supposed to be under out protection for agreeing to give up his WMD program ..

    Whats your theory .. smarty pants :)

    What part of that do you believe is a "conspiracy theory"? Jeannette is right, Ghadaffi did want to replace the petrodollar with a gold standard. So did Saddam Hussein. That is the reason the U.S. murdered both of them.

    It would be a lot better than occupying and stealing Syria's oil.

    No, only Syria by supporting terrorists.

    No, just mercenaries to menace Venezuela.

    The Economist is a Rothchild owned periodical, and I found it to be very biased, so I don't know what in the damn world you're talking about.

    They're not the only ones murdered for wanting to go off the petro dollar. When the Pres. of Total oil told Vladimir Putin he was going off the petro dollar, his plane had a freak accident the next day.

    Rothschild? Good grief. Look at the top 1,000 richest people in America. There's ONE Rothschild there,
    but no relation to the family targeted in anti-Semitic tropes.
    Not sure about America "stealing" Syrian oil. There's plenty of it around these days. But there's no doubt
    China is creating new territory for itself.
