🇨🇳🇱🇹 China Has a New Ferocious Critic

Recently, the Eastern European nation of Lithuania began to fiercely criticize China on all fronts – from human rights to technology – and simultaneously engage with Taiwan. This behavior was readily supported by Washington and Brussels. What stands behind it?

👾🔬 These Countries Are the World Leaders in Microchip Exports

Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan remain dominant players in global microchip production, which also allows them to control half of the worldwide export market, Statista writes.

Numbers from the UN Comtrade database show that Greater China’s exports of microchips totaled just under $400 billion in the pandemic year of 2020.

🔐 Doomsday prophesising of how China’s days are numbered and that it is in the midst of an economic collapse could not be any further from reality.

The reasons for the spread of this sort of gossip is to keep up the belief (and thus investment) in the idea that the United States is secure in its alpha dog global status and that the world is better off siding with said alpha in its escalating and reckless, not to mention unnecessary, economic and geopolitical war against Russia and China. It is to intimidate any country foolish enough to throw too many of its eggs into the Russia-China basket with the thought that they will be left hanging in the wind once China collapses from the international stranglehold on its economy, which is touted as inevitable.

It is to convince the American people, that the further sacrifices they are about to make in their livelihood and standard of living will be worth it, perhaps to even go so far as to proclaim that this will be the necessary “new normal” all for the cause of world security, of course.

The reality of the situation which should be plain for everyone to see at this point, is that the United States’ sanctions and banning of various types of trade with Russia and China, meant to cripple their economies, is doing more damage to the world markets than anything else, including that of Europe and the United States

🐲 Beijing might be better taking Taiwan now – once and for all – before it festers anymore under American influence.

President Xi Jinping’s re-election for a record-breaking third term as China’s leader was promptly ambushed by Western media smears.

Xi becomes the first Chinese leader since Chairman Mao to hold three terms in office after he was re-elected by delegates at the 20th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing last weekend.

Western media rushed to predict that China would become more autocratic and repressive, without providing any substantiation for its lurid claims, and while ignoring the phenomenal economic and developmental successes of the People’s Republic under Xi during the past decade.

The U.S.-based Council on Foreign Relations cited the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace which predicted that China would become “more assertive and aggressive” in its foreign relations over the next five years.

🇹🇼 Taiwan has been obliged to give its American ally an extraordinary warning: don’t even think about blowing up our semiconductor industry.

The warning follows growing calls by U.S. politicians and military analysts that Washington should destroy the island’s vital technology sector in order to purportedly prevent China from gaining control of lucrative exports and as a way of damaging China’s economy.

Taiwan is facing the curse of being an ally of Uncle Sam in the same way that Germany and the rest of Europe have 🗿

Here's why the #US wants (needs) it's war with #Russia and #China.

If you belive its anything to do with #Ukraine, #Taiwan or "Freedom and Democracy," your delusional.

Blue - Biggest trading partner is the USA.

End of lesson. @irishmaninrussia
🐲🦅 Although the United States and its various satrapies might well prevail over the shorter term in its looming war with China, over the longer term, the Yankee warlords can have no future in Asia. The best that America can do is to somehow trick China into acting preemptively and to thereby score an important tactical victory that will delay the inevitable final day of reckoning for Asia’s Pax Americana.

Though China, together with Russia, has a unique opportunity to lay the groundwork for a better world 🌞, that world cannot come to pass without Southern Asia and Southeast Asia being full partners in it.

🇺🇸🇹🇼 Ever since China’s civil war ended in 1949 with victory for the Communist side, the island of Taiwan off China’s southern coast has been a U.S. pawn as a haven for anti-Communist forces. The United States has sponsored the Taiwanese separatists first under the dictatorship of Chiang Kai-shek and up to the present administration in Taipei. Ironically, Washington portrays Taiwan as “democratic and free”.

Taiwan is a useful pawn in the U.S. strategy of confronting China as a “great power competitor”.
