China considers Europe a “weak link” of the Western world

July 14 2020 53

For Beijing, Europe is the “weak link” of the Western world, so it is ready to subjugate it to itself. Other predators, the United States and Russia, also joined this fight.

According to the French edition of Capital, Francois Aisbourg writes about this in his book “The Time of Predators: China, the USA, Russia and Us”.

The author believes that the threats from Russia and the United States are great for France and Europe, but China poses the greatest danger, because its ambitions border on militarism.

And this is understandable, if you recall the Chinese history. After long periods of isolation and humiliation, Xi Jinping came to power in 2012. He managed to head for the transformation of China into an economic and political superpower. Beijing seeks to establish its position in the world, primarily economic. To achieve its goals, China uses certain techniques and tools.

First of all, China seeks to seize the European market for its products. At the same time, he is trying to possess European technology, which today is considered one of the most advanced.

In addition, he is trying to spread his influence on the European continent. This is done in a variety of ways, from recruiting political figures to providing loans to European countries.

Also part of Chinese politics is the desire by any means to drive a wedge between the US and Europe, casting doubt on the very concept of "Western world."

China is also introducing its own technological standards in the world, trying to integrate Europe into them.

From all this, the author concludes that the era of naive faith in a multipolar world is coming to an end, and Europe has to decide which side to take. Otherwise, predators will tear it apart.

  Surprisingly - a robust article. If even the undersultan “perdogan” managed to put the whole of Europe in the “p” position, letting only a small part of the “rabies” go - receiving money so as not to let the main stream
  The Chinese are traders, and they see the "weak" spots in others. Excellent.

    This is who will explain to me why anyone should "tear apart" Europe?
    So that the invested money is gone?
    Destroyed the market?
    So that there was no place to take technology from?

      And what does the logic have to do with it? The article is written for people who think that in Europe there is something worth starting a war for. Technologies are sold, bought, stolen. If Europe is destroyed, the market for Chinese goods will be lost. If Europe is conquered, the source of currency income will disappear.

  Well, the Russian Federation is a predator.
  Everything is very simple. The Russian Federation does not pursue an aggressive foreign policy, impose sanctions against us, carry all sorts of nonsense, etc. This creates the illusion that many people even believe on this site about Russia's weakness, inability, and mildness. In fact, the Russian Federation one of the few (to put it mildly) countries of the world that can at any time resolve the issue in its favor through force. The last example, Crimea.
  And in the world they perfectly understand and realize it. Hence the fear.
  Therefore, yes, Russia is a "predator". And I am glad of this. This gives us the opportunity to decide for ourselves.

    Imposes. But not like the States.
    Try not to sell to China any military equipment that he had planned to buy for copying.
    He will not announce sanctions. But suddenly it turns out that some "Power of Siberia" stops working, loans are delayed, payments are slowed down. And everything, by chance, with an apology ... And as soon as the sale of the military is approved, everything miraculously flies on the wings.

  This is not a conclusion, but an assumption based on several findings: the Chinese are omnivorous super-enterprising capitalists by nature. They are more flexible than Westerners, but their grip is tougher! It’s like a large reptile ... The economic and political system / combination of authoritarianism with capitalism / more efficient than the West. China is growing, and its appetite is increasing.

      If you take an interest in world history, you will be surprised to find out that very often humanity has been genocide since ancient times! Many peoples and tribes were literally exterminated by others. The Mongols exterminated entire peoples, the Aztecs every day gutted hundreds of people on their temples, about African tribes and peoples / in modern times Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria, etc. / needless to say, the Armenian Turks and Christians in general, Chinese-Dzungars and a bunch of similar, and more often to themselves, Indians - there were bloody massacres one after another, just the birth rate was and is high, so a hundred thousand cut out, not something transcendent, Half Pot in Kompuchia is generally unique, in New Guinea is still practicing cannibalism in the jungle, oh Timor / Indonesia / have you heard ?? List of genocides, massacres, by religious, ethnic, ideological, "culinary", etc. signs are endless! In Europe, between genocides, though, gave birth to humanism and some other theories about civil rights, fraternity and equality. That's how it is in fact!

        Many peoples - those Polovtsy, Volga Bulgars, many more peoples on their way. The conquest of China by the Mongols cost tens of millions of lives. Yes, and the Chinese self-consumed by millions. Central Asia Khorezm ... Iran — rivers of blood, India — the creation of the Mughal empire cost, colossal sacrifices among the local population. Iraq - hundreds of thousands were cut down in one Baghdat. For the Mongols, this was normal practice. And not only for them, Tamerlan, Turks, Iran to the Caucasus ... Take and read at least a little history. Here in, he eats interesting stats on the topic.
        to compare the semi-wild African tribes .. and moreover .. somehow use this as an excuse ..
        
        A fact is a fact; it does not depend on your opinion! I'm not even talking about periods so remote in time! The genocide in Rwanda, the whole world knows. The massacre in Darfur - Nigeria! Congo / Zaire /! Algeria - there were stats recently at the VO. Nigeria - conflict in Biafra, etc. In Africa, ethnic cleansing has always been distinguished with marvelous brutality! This is a very short list, so from memory!
        Europeans are definitely considering everyone underdeveloped as a campaign ...
        
        In different historical periods this is true. Russia, while conquering Siberia, Central Asia and Alaska, also treated the rest of the local population as a tagged one. There are interesting stats here on VO!
        Even look at the last two three decades ...
        
        In the world at all times, massacres and destruction took place. It is a fact! And you cannot argue anything! No offense, but really it will be useful for you to read more, write less.

        The history in the textbooks was written by the Holanz-Germans to us - and what did they write there)))
        it’s banned people believe that yes in Siberia there are a lot of paved roads in the forests, huge estates are just at the end of the world - and yes it was all created by unwashed and illiterate people, who even brought in the state)))
        You believe that without roads you can go through the war and conquer Siberia - well, I'm talking about the tale of Yermak. Have you seen his paintings ?? Take a trip to Tyumen - there it is - he looks like an ordinary kankistodor - he even had a Kankistodor helmet and a corresponding robe. Good luck to continue to believe everything.

    China has a weak spot. And it will still appear. Xi is not eternal, the tip is not homogeneous. Brawl groups for the throne will also be. And the capitalists want real power. Do not tremble in front of an authoritarian system with the Fuhrer at the head, but stand at the helm. With yachts, palaces, servants ... And their hard workers are helpless without immunity to oppose the capitalists. Like in the USSR. So the gangster redistribution and Gorbachev will be there. Another generation - and they will be. Even less - about 15 years old. In this redistribution of good and dough, the Americans will catch them.

Bullshit.
The founding father of the Chinese miracle was, is and will be Den Xiaoping.
C is a talented follower of the course that Den has built.
If another, less tailored to the idea, came, it would have turned out like ours in the USSR.

  Europe has plenty of Russian gas. Superfluous even. And how cheap it is depends on the presence or absence of competition in the market. In order for some product to have a minimum price, a competitor is definitely needed, otherwise the "cheapness" turns into a monopole and is even more expensive!

The article is very correct! China bought up the VOLVO together with equipment and technology and exported everything to China! Now an excellent copy of the VOLVO floor under the GILI brand is being sold on the market! Without much advertising, China has bought up a lot of strategic objects in Europe, from container terminals to HI-TEKA manufacturers! China is waiting to be able to dictate and impose its own standards and rules! And when this happens a little will not seem to everyone! China is a very tough and dangerous competitor!

This will not happen in the near future for sure. They have a billion problems inside the country, it's only in the picture in large cities that they are doing well. But China is far from it. The illiterate population is over 100 million, and poverty reigns beyond large agglomerations.
And if you look at the history of China in foreign policy, it will become clear that China has never pulled on a world leader and is unlikely to be pulled.

In fact, this process has been going on since 2018. And in 2019, China has already given way to the 2nd world economy in Japan. And there is already Britain on the way.

For the first time in history, China has bypassed the United States in terms of the number of inhabitants belonging to 10 percent of the richest people in the world. These data are presented in the annual study of the Swiss bank Credit Suisse on global wealth. Its results were published on Monday, October 21, 2019.

Thus, in China 99,9 million people were included in 10 percent of the richest people on the planet, in the United States 98,8 million people belong to this category, the study said. According to the Credit Suisse classification, a person with a fortune above 10 thousand dollars is considered to be in the top 109,5 richest people in the world.
