A decisive start. Will Donald Trump halt the Chinese dragon?

China hides its actual face and presents itself to the planet as a modern, friendly country, which in many ways is the same as another countries in the world, and in any respects is simply better than them. Meanwhile, it is simply a country where totalitarian communist ideology dominates. This is sad, but China is especially treated with a peculiar advantage in the right-wing and conservative environments, especially among people who have been fond of Chinese economical success. The state of the centre is besides frequently shown as the only sensible alternate to America or to the " rotten West". This is in my opinion 1 of the biggest successes of Chinese propaganda –says Dr. Tomasz Teluk, president of the Institute of Globalization in conversation with PCh24.pl

Sir, for months now, we have been threatened and bombarded with the news that a large war is coming. War of 2 empires, war of 2 superpowers: the United States and China. Is this war truly on the horizon? What are we truly dealing with?

Undoubtedly, we are being prepared for an increasingly severe confrontation between China and the United States. However, this competition is presently mainly in the economical field and besides in the political field. In my opinion, both of these countries know precisely what the threat of military confrontation is and so avoid it.

That is why the leaders of the United States and China have shown quite a few reason – and so far they inactive have. They are in direct contact, besides at the highest military level, so that no specified confrontation occurs.

So far, it has been predicted that direct confrontation is more dependent on Americans, as this would prevent the increasing power of China, besides the increasing military power of the mediate State. It is worth remembering that it is yet not clear what the Chinese truly have.

At present, however, I would be inclined to argue that alternatively than either organization is afraid with the armed conflict, although of course there are attempts to absorb Taiwan from mainland China.

In a fresh U.S. presidential run in the US, the issue of China was a second or even third-rate topic. The American people were much more occupied by the war in Ukraine. Is that a smokescreen, or is China's subject actually no longer so important, and is Washington's real threat to Putin alternatively than Xi Jinping?

The Americans are discussing Ukraine, due to the fact that there is simply a war going on there and this subject is besides of interest to them on the side of financial assistance, military aid which the Americans themselves and NATO states themselves are providing to Ukraine. It is thanks to this aid that Ukraine has survived and continues to defy Russia.

However, there is no uncertainty that much more crucial issue for American politicians are Chinese issues due to this economical and technological race with the US. This is simply a competition mainly in the area of access to semiconductors, microprocessors, uncommon earth metals. This is so besides a question of Taiwan, where the factories of the most modern microchips are located.

What about Chinese global expansion, especially in Africa?

This is besides a very crucial issue. China has become an equivalent power for the United States, besides due to the fact that it is conducting its global expansion.

Beijing has been dependent on poorer countries for many years, offering them inexpensive loans or infrastructure investments, de facto getting these fresh fronts. It is mainly about ports, logistics centres, but besides the construction of key energy and natural materials infrastructure. All these tools are going to make the planet more and more dependent on China.

This policy is besides being pursued in relation to Western European countries. China is simply a pioneer of green technologies. Europe is dependent on the import of many devices, as well as the natural materials essential for the alleged green transition.

This advantage of Beijing is besides being built in the fresh technology sector. After all, we buy most electronic devices with the sign "Made in China". And China is besides trying to integrate into this stream to control access and information flow in these modern technologies.

Let us besides remember that China is utilizing these modern techniques for its purposes, primarily to collect information, or to get intelligence, or to bargain abroad technologies, in order to build its global position.

Are those who claim that the war in Ukraine is called proxy war? That it's actually a war between the U.S. that supports Kiev and China that supports Moscow?

Yeah. And this despite the fact that the United States supports Ukraine openly, and Russia can number on the "quiet" support of Beijing...

"China's acquisition of oil, gas, coal etc. is 1 thing. I late read a very interesting study that indicated that the Chinese had supplied Russia with a immense number of excavators, trucks, tractors and another specified equipment. At first glance they are not spectacular, and surely not as spectacular as the tanks driving through the Polish Reich. However, the Chinese do not like to act spectacularly, but quietly. That is why they provided Russia with thousands of machines and trucks that played a immense function in the construction of the Surovikin Line, which stopped the Ukrainian counteroffensive. besides looking at all this, claims that China does not do anything like this, and as they already support Russia, it is not in war activities you can put between fairy tales. Excavators, trucks etc. were tangible war support", said Kraków political scientist Prof. Michał Lubin in a conversation with PCH24....

You're in. That is the point, and that is the silent support of Russia by China. If the Chinese were to hand over Russian weapons, tanks, ammunition, military technology, the full planet would be talking about it. And here we had a transfer of construction equipment. specified action does not make specified controversy, and the fact that it can be utilized twice is another issue.

Speaking of the US's confrontation with China, the issue of economy and technology is most common, as the doctor pointed out. But there is another subject that Ian Easton writes about in the book “Decisive Start. The secrets of China’s global strategy, which was published in Poland thanks to the Globalization Institute. It's about the idea, it means that it's besides a clash between the capitalist planet and the planet of murder, liberalism and communism, economical freedom and economical fascism...

We decided to print this large book by Ian Easton, a valued analyst who was educated in Japan and Taiwan, a prominent Chinese expert now, just to remind you that there is besides a "second bottom" of American-Chinese competition.

Easton in the "Deciding clash" recalls the ideological layer of the conflict between East and the West and points out that many seem to forget that the communist organization is inactive the highest authority in China.

China hides its actual face and presents itself to the planet as a modern, friendly country, which in many ways is the same as another countries in the world, and in any respects is simply better than them. Meanwhile, it is simply a country where totalitarian communist ideology dominates. This is sad, but China is especially treated with a peculiar advantage in the right-wing and conservative environments, especially among people who have been fond of Chinese economical success.

The state of the centre is besides frequently shown as the only sensible alternate to America or the " rotten West". This, in my opinion, is 1 of the biggest successes of Chinese propaganda.

In the Chinese economy, all companies that operate on the marketplace there de facto are subject to the Communist Party's objectives. This is besides recalled in Ian Easton's "Deciding clash".

What does this mean in practice?

This means that a company operating in the West, selling modern TVs or phones there, can work for Chinese intelligence; it can collect delicate data; it can prosecute the goals that the communist organization will put before it, regardless of the economical interests of this company...

Let me give you a simple example: the European and Western automotive industry, which has a beautiful history, abruptly abandons its most developed method thought and begins to prosecute the improbable goals imposed in advance by the European Union, and possibly in reality by the Chinese Communist Party. China is the largest beneficiary of the green transformation that takes place in front of our eyes...

Exactly! Therefore, we must be highly vigilant and pay attention to what Easton is writing about, namely: China is consistently imposing its economical programs on us to dominate the world.

Beijing is the main promoter of the net of Things, which is specified a model of reasoning about the economy that all device will be connected to the Internet. It is best that each device has a “Made in China” stamp. It is best that it is equipped with a Chinese operating strategy and it is best that no 1 even realizes that it is entirely controlled by any Chinese spies, Chinese officials, for example, to origin chaos in Western countries at this point, for example, by cutting these devices off from action.

Only then would we see how, in China's created, promoted and implemented global system, any, even the smallest, would make a immense disturbance. And due to the fact that people in the West are accustomed to surviving in comparative luxury, that just 1 click on the telephone and the merchandise is about to be delivered to the door of the house, the bad effects may turn out to be lamented to not say catastrophic.

Ian Easton devotes quite a few space in the book to KPCh president Xi Jinping...

Xi Jinping is the leader who united the top power in his hand since Mao Zedong. Easton, for example, describes the very large celebrations of Charles Marx's century, which were organised in 2018 by the Communist organization of China. It was there that Xi Jinping outlined how he pictured the modern world. The president of the KPCh then stated explicitly that China's goal is to overthrow the old planet and make a fresh one, and at the heart of this fresh planet lies Marxism. According to Xi Marxism is the most crucial guiding thought of the KPC and China itself.

It means de factoChina's goal is to introduce modern Chinese communism around the world. To make matters worse, it must be admitted that specified a setting of the substance is applauded in the West among the socialist elites who sympathize with Marxism and this imagination of the planet suits them. They just want to work with China and realize their vision.

How is Chinese communism different from the communism of the russian Union, Yugoslavia, Cambodia or PRL? Is this just about the economy, due to the fact that it is the main subject of the discussion on China? Today, unfortunately, fewer people at all pay attention and remind about Chinese crimes that would not be ashamed of specified "prominent communists" as Stalin or Pol Pot. I am referring to the genocide in Nepal, or the genocide in Turkistan, where 1 day more people are killed than the mediate East has died since the war between Hamas and Israel...

The examples of Chinese murders on Tibetans and Uighurs cited by you show that Chinese communists are implementing de facto the same objectives and uses the same methods as communists from another countries. Just due to the fact that it doesn't happen in camera doesn't mean we should keep quiet about it.

China introduced the policy of 1 kid – the largest program in human past of mass killing of unborn children.

It is in China that there are inactive carders, concentration camps, and the organization eliminates physically the rebels and it is on the agenda.

All these crimes Beijing is trying to cover up a certain amount of capitalism and marketplace economy, but only for a choice group, that is, those people who are connected with the communist party.

You called a doctor's policy on 1 child. According to various analyses, not only China, but the full planet in a few, at the latest respective years, will feel its effects. What will they be like?

However, there is no uncertainty that the Chinese economy will be in a worse state. We already see any symptoms of the real property crisis, interior request is weakening. Nor will it be without consequences. The marketplace will simply request this artificial underselling of the population.

We already see that China is no longer the world's largest population. India is the largest population. India will so compete effectively with its Asian neighbour.

Moreover, China's society will grow old as in the West. There will besides be different social spheres. China does not have developed social object systems specified as in the West. They function in a completely different reality. Many problems are solved by force. We saw this during the Covid pandemic, erstwhile full neighborhoods were closed, the full city; erstwhile the sick people were being welded with locks on the door, and even walled up in apartments. They were bandit scenes that represent what China truly is...

How many immigrants would it take to get to China to avoid a crisis?

Hundreds of millions... In China we are dealing with a situation where the Chinese themselves are alternatively leaving their borders. We have Chinese diasporas in various regions: Russia, Western countries, United States etc. Besides, I do not think that in a country where there is another culture, another specificity, immigrants would be able to assimilate themselves properly.

Here is another issue: China will never gain global dominance, due to the fact that they have no communicative they can tell the world. They cannot bring immigrants or people who want to identify with China in a affirmative way. They can talk about a large story, but only for a time, due to the fact that this culture is circumstantial and has many dark cards. And that will always be on them.

But do China truly request specified a story? In my opinion, they put on a flicher, progress, modernity and that is what they want to convince themselves. I remember erstwhile 1 of the historians went on a two-week vacation to your centre. Upon his return, he said that the center of the planet was no longer Paris, Milan, London, or Berlin. The planet center is now Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong etc. That's where the skyscrapers are, that's where the sky is; that's where the man feels he's not in the 21st, that's where he's in the 21st century...

If an economical origin is decisive for someone, higher skyscrapers, travel by high-speed train, then specified a short-lived fascination is understandable, but there are no deeper values behind it.

If we're reasoning about the United States, we can immediately see the freedom that man was looking for. We have any American mass culture, a lifestyle, something that's fascinating to us. In China, however, there is simply no specified thing. Furthermore, for us – Poles, however, it is simply a spectrum of communism, a spectrum of totalitarianism fulfilled, which lurks behind Xi Jinping's back in fact should be and is something frightening.

This digital, technocratic totalitarianism that wants to fund China is something to run distant from, not something to identify with.

Who do you think would be the better president of the United States erstwhile it comes to opposing Chinese communism, Chinese technocracy – winner Donald Trump or loser Kamala Harris?

The Democratic Camp focused on Joe Biden is more conciliating towards China. They're willing to cooperate. There was talk of business that Joe Biden's son, huntsman Biden, was doing with the Chinese and any politicians who were just active with the Democrats.

However, Trump's position here is more implacable. He announced that his policy in the Indo-Pacific region would be tough. I think Donald Trump will be more determined towards China than Kamala Harris.

Furthermore, the Republican repeatedly announced that the solution to China's problem in its abroad policy would be a priority.

In my opinion, the Republicans have made specified a strategical reflection on the biggest strategical mistake of the United States of all time. This mistake was the belief that economical reinforcement of Russia, then China would lead to their democratisation. It was assumed that since it was successful for South Korea, Japan or Taiwan, it was besides successful there, but these totalitarian urges both in Moscow and Beijing were utilized in specified a way that, through their cooperation with the West, these 2 countries gained backing to strengthen their army and to prosecute increasingly aggressive policies.

Donald Trump announces he'll want to put an end to this.

Do you think China wanted to influence the presidential elections in the United States? They say Russia wanted to do it. China's not much to mention...

I have no uncertainty that I do. China surely did. In my opinion, the fact that only Russia is mentioned in this case and that Russia attracts public attention is Beijing's victory.

China will effort and effort to influence the U.S. election results. China will effort and effort to make chaos in the United States not only in the political sphere, but in any another sphere. We are increasingly proceeding that the outbreak of synthetic opioids in the United States is actually the origin of the Chinese, that they smuggle them into the US, that it is payback for opium wars, and that in this way China has caused a truly serious social problem in America.

God bless the conversation.
