[quote]Central and eastern European countries used to be buoyant
about benefiting from China’s economic largesse, but now – like
the EU itself – many view Beijing as a threat. It’s unlikely
that a Chinese government that is increasingly preoccupied with
its own regime stability will be able to make up, let alone
repair, the damage done by the multiple opportunities missed
over the past eight years.[/quote]
China needs to learn a lesson - the hard way if necessary -
about who are, and (arguably more importantly) who are not, its
allies. Reliable alliances cannot be built on economic
incentives alone. Only our shared history as fellow victims of
colonialism can unify us in a pact of true devotion, based on
common hostility towards Western civilization. Turandom,
however, is now the centre of that very Western civilization we
are fundamentally hostile towards, therefore it is naive to
believe alliance with Turandom is possible.

Signs of spine?
HTML https://tfipost.com/2020/07/this-is-our-land-china-now-claims-russias-vladivostok-as-part-of-its-territory
[quote]Chinese internet users, including diplomats and
officials, claim that Vladivostok used to be a part of China.
They claim it was Qing’s Manchurian homeland but was annexed by
the Russian empire in 1860 after China was defeated by the
British and the French during the Second Opium war.
Shen Shiweim, a journalist at the Chinese State-run broadcaster,
China Global Television Network (CGTN) tweeted, “This “tweet” of
#Russian embassy to #China isn’t so welcome on Weibo. The
history of Vladivostok (literally ‘Ruler of the East’) is from
1860 when Russia built a military harbor. But the city was
Haishenwai as Chinese land, before Russia annexed it via unequal
Treaty of Beijing.”
...
China’s claims over Russia’s Vladivostok are not limited to the
state-owned media. Even Chinese diplomats have jumped in. Zhang
Heqing, a wolf-warrior from China currently stationed at the
country’s Mission in Pakistan said, “Isn’t this what in the past
was our Haishenwai?”
Meanwhile, the CCP IT cell too has gone berserk. A Weibo user
wrote, “Today we can only endure, but the Chinese people will
remember, and one generation after another will continue to
remember!” SCMP quotes another user as saying, “We must believe
that this ancestral land will return home in the
future!”[/quote]
Background:
HTML https://www.russia-briefing.com/news/dangers-building-ultra-patriotism-chinese-claim-vladivostok-haishenwai.html/
[quote]Having been battered by British and French during this
war, China learned of Russia’s strategic build-up of military
presence on its shared northern border. Russia was only willing
to withdraw troops if China were to cede territory along this
border.
Facing potential attacks by Russia from the north and the
onslaught of British and French forces on the south, the Qing
dynasty was compelled to comply with Russia demands to stave off
invasion on at least one front. This led to the signing of the
Treaty of Aigun in 1858, that formed much of the present day
borders between Russia and China, along the Amur River. The
Chinese have historically called this treaty an “unequal
treaty”, one in a series of treaties signed between the Qing
dynasty and neighbouring states in the region.
Russian diplomat Count Nikolay Pavlovich Ignatyev had witnessed
the havoc and plunder that the British and French had unleashed
upon Beijing, including engaging in loot and plunder and the
burning down of the Old Summer Palace, specifically ordered by
Britain’s Lord Elgin. Elgin, having set his eyes on the loot and
destruction of the Forbidden City next, urged the Chinese to sit
at the negotiating table with Ignatyev as the mediator in what
came to be known as the Convention of Peking between China,
Russia, Britain and France.
As a result of this convention, in October 1860, the British
acquired the Kowloon Peninsula and control over Hong Kong. Among
other agreements, opium was made legal, a move that economically
benefited France and Britain. From China’s perspective, these
agreements were exploitative and sharply skewed in favour of the
two western nations.
Knowing how desperately China was trying to protect its capital,
Ignatyev pushed for the Qing rulers to accept the terms of the
agreements, and also threw in what the Chinese call “Outer
Manchuria” for Russia, an area significantly larger than what it
had originally desired. One part of this territory is now called
the Primorsky Krai. According to Lukin, the Russian government
had already established a military outpost in the region even
before signing a formal treaty of cessation with the Qing
dynasty.
This area of the Primorsky Krai, along with the Golden Horn Bay,
with its administrative capital as Vladivostok, became an
important sea port for Russia and allowed the country to expand
economic and military influence in this part of the Pacific. It
is also known as the Russian Maritime Province. Today,
Vladivostok is the base for the Russian Pacific Fleet.[/quote]

Erdogan demonstrates the correct way to speak to leaders of
former Western colonial powers:
[quote]ISTANBUL/PARIS (Reuters) - France recalled its ambassador
on Saturday after Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said his
counterpart Emmanuel Macron needed mental help over his attitude
towards Muslims.
...
The French leader this month declared war on "Islamist
separatism", which he believes is taking over some Muslim
communities in France.
France has since been shaken by the beheading of a teacher by an
Islamist radical, avenging the use of cartoons of the Prophet
Mohammad in a class on freedom of expression.
"What is the problem of this person called Macron with Muslims
and Islam? Macron needs treatment on a mental level," Erdogan
said in a speech in the central Turkish city of Kayseri.
"What else can be said to a head of state who does not
understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to
millions of people living in his country who are members of a
different faith?" Erdogan added.[/quote]

Action must follow words:
HTML https://www.yahoo.com/news/muslims-call-french-goods-boycott-151205152.html
[quote]Muslims in the Middle East and beyond on Monday broadened
their calls for boycotts of French products and protests, as a
clash over depictions of the Prophet Muhammad and the limits of
free speech intensified.
...
On Monday, hashtags in Arabic on Twitter calling for French
boycotts were trending high. Qatar University postponed its
French cultural week indefinitely, saying its administration
views insults to Islam and its symbols as unacceptable.
In Kuwait, a number of stores had removed French products like
Kiri cheese, Perrier sparkling water and Activia yogurt from
their shelves.
The owner of Carrefour stores in the Middle East issued a
statement saying the brand is a fully owned and operated
business of the United Arab Emirates-based Majid Al Futtaim. The
company said it understands there is some concern among
consumers across the region but noted that it employs 37,000
people and is “proud to be from the region and for the region.”
Others on Twitter criticized what they said is France’s
hypocrisy and bias against Muslims. One cartoon widely shared
put forth the argument that caricatures of Muslims are defended
in “The West” as fair game under freedom of speech protections,
while caricatures of Jews are labeled hate speech.
In France, a law aimed at addressing the country's role during
Nazi occupation specifically mentions that anti-Semitism and
Holocaust denial are crimes
...
Already, a small rally was held Monday in the Gaza Strip outside
the French cultural center with people carrying banners showing
photos of Maron with an “X” over his face. They held banners
that read: “Despite Macron’s malice, we prevail for our
Prophet”.
In Pakistan, the leader of a radical Islamic party called on
people to hold a rally against France on Friday in the eastern
city of Lahore to mark the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday, which is
traditionally a time of celebration.
Meanwhile, groups ranging from the Taliban in Afghanistan to
Hezbollah in Lebanon have condemned Macron’s defense of
caricatures depicting the Prophet Muhammad.[/quote]

[quote]Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan asked his compatriots to
stop buying French goods on Monday in the latest expression of
anger in the Muslim world over images being displayed in France
of the Prophet Mohammad, which some Muslims consider
blasphemous.
In Bangladesh on Monday, protesters unfurled placards with a
caricature of French President Emmanuel Macron and the words:
"Macron is the enemy of peace", while Pakistan summoned France's
ambassador in Islamabad to issue a protest.
Erdogan, who has a history of fraught relations with Macron,
said France was pursuing an anti-Islam agenda.
"I am calling to all my citizens from here to never help French
brands or buy them," Erdogan said.
In Turkey, French autos are among the highest selling cars, and
French-Turkish bilateral trade overall was worth nearly $15
billion last year. The Turkish president has made similar
boycott calls in the past, including an appeal not to buy U.S.
electronic goods in 2018 which was not followed through.
Erdogan on Monday joined a chorus of voices elsewhere calling
for a boycott. In Kuwait city, a supermarket had stripped its
shelves of L'Oreal cosmetics and skincare products after the
cooperative union to which it belongs decided to stop stocking
French goods.[/quote]
BOYCOTT FRANCE!

It is important that non-Muslim former victims of Western
colonialism (especially former victims of French colonialism)
join in this boycott. All former victims of Western colonialism
must stand together against Western civilization!
