SHALL WE WATCH THE SHOW: USA vs CHINA

OK, HERE'S HOW IT GOES.

AMERICA says:

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Sunday said China has become “more aggressive” in its efforts to spread disinformation and cause disruption across the world, from Hong Kong to the United States. “It’s a different Chinese Communist Party today than it was 10 years ago,” Pompeo told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' "Sunday Morning Futures." “This is a Chinese Communist Party that has come to view itself as intent upon the destruction of Western ideas, Western democracies, Western values. It puts Americans at risk.”

CCP says:

U.S. policy toward China is “fraught with emotions and whims and McCarthyist bigotry,” China’s foreign minister, Wang Yi, said last week. “It seems as if every Chinese investment is politically driven, every Chinese student is a spy and every cooperation initiative is a scheme with a hidden agenda.”

(May I add: Not EVERY, just some).

While we are "far" away from the 2 marauding elephants, I expect proxy battles among the mousedeers (cheerleaders etc) to flourish. I've seen vile and parochial comments on both sides of the divide in many whatsapp chat sites.

There's no pleasing everyone....all have an opinion on the matter. Sadly though, many who vent their views, have not researched some (if not all) of the core issues carefully but are purely led by their sentiments for the "motherland"...sometimes as if they are card carrying comrades. The very same people remain silent when atrocities are committed by own our politicians. Rather hypocritical isn't it?

On the other hand, I am always wary of a "big bully" Western country trying to "save" us (well, that's how indentured slavery started). Just watch "Enemy of the State"...we are tracked easily by Big Brother. But I fear more the Communist regime's covert hegemonistic forrays.

I think my views on this "battle" among the empires are well known to the readers here. Some agree, some call it bashing. Whatever your view is, Caveat Emptor I say repeatedly.
