The most crucial question to answer is whether the conflict is between the citizens and their opponents. The past can be resolved through discussion and debate, while the latter may entail conflict and war.
So said Mao Zedong, the founder and prophet of the People’s Republic of China ( PRC ), in his famous essay” On Contradiction”. The Chinese Communist Party’s and its philosophy have relied on the book for years.
As evidenced by the quiet of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken when he left Beijing next week, Chinese President Xi Jinping has apparently decided that the conflict with the United States lies between the individuals and their foe.
No Taiwanese official accompanied America’s best minister to the airport, but only the American embassy in Beijing was with him.
” The US wants assistance with and isolation of China together. How do you anticipate China to behave”? Shen Shiwei, a Taiwanese journalist, argued on Twitter.
The lack of a dark floor for Blinken’s appearance and his depressed departure was meant to convey Beijing’s displeasure with the US supervision, to both the Chinese and American citizens.
The US believes that even with foes, it is possible to work together on some issues and oppose one another on another, as was the case with the USSR during the Cold War. China does think different, however.
In any case, whether or not Blinken was given the red carpet cure, the US has decided it is not concerned with quite fretwork.
Blinken was unfazed. His primary objective was to give a message as clearly as possible: Beijing may continue its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine, or there will be consequences.
After Blinken’s withdrawal, China welcomed it businessman and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who canceled a trip to Delhi, India, to join with Premier Li Qiang.
Beijing seems to believe that America’s rich you influence US elections. Beijing appears to think that they are the real energy centers in America, capable of listening to and interpreting Beijing’s claims.
They are however significant, but US politics is very complex, and the billionaires are just one part of the machine. Without adequate coordination with other parts, if they act or are influenced to work, their actions may fail.
Henry Ford, who was the richest and most powerful American businessman at the time, was a pro-fascist and the richest and most powerful in the country, who supported Nazi Germany and many other US “barons” before World War II. The combat caused them to be eradicated and to be silenced.
Wise Chinese experts who advise Xi on America are correct to look for other avenues to control and communicate with the social creation.
However, social moving everywhere is not a science, it’s an arts and may fail. The US creation was bolstered by the influx of anti-establishment protests in the 1960s and 1970s, which were sparked by opposition to the Vietnam War document.
The current wave of pro-Hamas presentations on US university campuses could do the same thing, especially since there is no Vietnam War that has caused United society to split up. Beijing may need to take into account the possibility that adopting an establishment and anti-government position in America may have a negative impact.
Likewise, it could be inappropriate for the US to guess against Xi, the cornerstone holding the nation together. Although not everyone in China agrees with him, his administration will determine his country’s prosperity and power.
If Xi were removed, the whole national building could crumble. So, despite some grumbling, it’s unlikely that anyone would get action unless there is a serious social setback, either global or internal. And even then, it’s questionable what may happen.
In the meantime, almost everyone is putting off decisions and waiting for the results of the presidential election because of the dangerous department in American foreign politics. Some fear that the appearance of a new president may alter or overthrow the current government’s plans.
However, the condition is never frozen, more, it is deteriorating across all major locations. Problems are accumulating, and managing them may be challenging for any chairman, whether it be Joe Biden or Donald Trump.
Republicans and Democrats must come to a common international policy path today to ensure consistency in British policy, prevent more deterioration, and ensure a smooth transition for the incoming president following November’s election.
