China's Playbook

"But the problem is this - most defense experts still say China is the 500 pound monster we need to deal with. Not Russia. But today, it is all Russia, all the time." 

China is taking some heat for not getting more involved in solving the Ukrainian invasion. China, who is trying to take over the world from economic advantage, has said nada about Russia and the invasion.

China, who is trying to appear like the "adult in the room", is nothing close to that. Why? They too, also practice thuggery, only not as quite blatant as Russia. How so? Remember Hong Kong?

The poor folk, who happen to live in Hong Kong have been taken for a ride. The Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1997, was signed to ensure the people living in Hong Kong could live normally for the next fifty years. In other words, the citizens of Hong Kong may no longer be British, but they would be able to live under their system of government until 2047. How is that working out? In 2014, the CCP said (in so many words), they don't consider this agreement to still be valid. Huh? And then in 2020, the CCP (in so many words) said Hong Kong was going to start acting more like it is governed by China. And what is the British Government going to do about this egregious breach of contract? Nothing.

What happened in Hong Kong was only a practice swing for what they have planned for Taiwan. That is the big prize. As they try to appear to be so civilized to the rest of the world, the CCP is still rotten to the core. Organs are still harvested in the Uyghur community. China is still trying to take over the South China Sea. Child labor is still used in some of China's manufacturing. China is still stealing intellectual property. And China pollutes more than any other nation. Bottom line? China is just as nasty as Russia is. They just hide it better. 

Will China help Russia out? Funding and maybe weapons? Probably. It is in their DNA. Birds of a feather. Biden is headed out to NATO headquarters to further solidify the NATO alliance. And with that, the bifurcation of the world really starting to taking shape. Cold War 2.0.

On the side of totalitarianism and oppression, we have Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and some other minor players. On the side of freedom and liberty, we have NATO, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and other minor players. On the sideline, we have India and Pakistan and other minor players. Instead of having one world, with all nations acting civilized, we still have the Crips and the Bloods. The Sharks and the Jets. The good guys and bad guys.

China really went to town when Obama was President. Xi is also taking advantage of having Biden as President. But now? What a distraction! All eyes on Ukraine and Russia! China can get away with all kinds of skullduggery, as everyone is watching the other hand. But the problem is this - most defense experts still say China is the 500 pound monster we need to deal with. Not Russia. But today, it is all Russia, all the time.
