       Beijing calls on Washington not to discriminate against Chinese
       firms
       --- Quote ---
       > China is again accusing the U.S. of abusing allegations of
       national security to impose unfair restrictions on Chinese
       firms. The Foreign Ministry statement comes amid reports that
       Washington is about to add Chinese chipmaker SMIC and oil and
       gas producer Cnooc to a defense blacklist.

       The correct approach, of course, is for the US to take this
       opportunity to openly side with China against Australia. If the
       US were willing to do this, I guarantee it could win over China
       to a new vision of cooperation.
       But will Biden do this? Of course not. Biden is still stuck in
       the False Left mentality that the US is less close to China, a
       fellow former victim of colonization by two of the same colonial

       --- Quote ---
       > Rostow was among a group of middle-aged intellectuals and
       academics, most also World War II veterans and, as in Rostow’s
       case, who had also served in the OSS (Office of Strategic
       Services, the predecessor to the CIA).  From that experience,
       and the ideology it reinforced, the advisors surrounding
       America’s post-war presidents were Hawks; even what today would
       be called “Neo-cons” and far-right advocates for U.S military
       intervention (or pre-emption).  But as the Vietnam war dragged
       on, their reputations were dragged through the mud.  In Rostow’s
       case—one of the last holdouts for U.S. victory—he constantly
       pushed LBJ (president Johnson) to commit more troops, more
       planes, more bombs, and more money.

       to advance through the “stages of growth” into a high-tech,
       modern mass society, would be a profound regional, and if
       consolidated, a global competitive threat to nearly everything
       America stood for.

       > Was Rostow right?  I believe he was, and more: he was not only
       right about the threat communism posed to Western freedoms and
       liberty, but about the dislocations and distortions in
       scientific and technological development: China’s culture is
       imitative and assimilative; it is the like the “Borg.”
       Resistance is futile.

       it all for itself, with an objective of a unitarian,
       consolidated American political monism that destroys its
       opposition and consolidates its hegemony over all aspects of
       society in ways completely foreign to American traditions of
       individual freedom — economic and religious liberty, with a
       government subordinated to the civil public, and the civil
       public in control of its military, its property, currency, and
       most of its natural resources.

       Thumbs up for the Chinese government to have stalled the IPO at
       the very last minute to avoid the launch of Ma's new enterprise
       to supply credit (without need of collateral) to facilitate
       young people's spending.  If not for their resolute action,
       China might be walking the footstep of the US in the late 60s
       and heading for the direction of an over inflated bubble economy
       thus jeopardizing the Renminbi and saving the US dollar from its
       overdue downfall.
       There is also say that Jack Ma is possibly a new recruit to
       Freemasonry and connected with the forces behind US Federal
       Reserve who are aiming at sucking the Chinese market which is so
       rapidly expanding. Conspiracy theory or not, the stark
       resemblance of the 'eye' in the logos of Ma's new Weixin
       company, Freemason, and the Federal Reserve is certainly an
       interesting point to note.
