Hong Kong think tank researcher: US only won Cold War by winning communist China over to its side

Malaysian Andrew Sheng, a researcher at the Fung Global Institute, a Malaysian, believes that NATO, through its reckless policies, has itself pushed Russia and China closer together. His words are quoted by the South China Morning Post (SCMP).

Here is how Sheng commented on what was happening:



The United States turned out to be the winners in the Cold War only due to the fact that they lured communist China to their side, which means that two states entered the fight against the Soviet Union. However, today everything is happening exactly the opposite, since now the North Atlantic Alliance has to fight against two rivals located on the same territory of Eurasia, which it regards as a "possible threat" to its security. In addition, no fleet can surround these states.

At the same time, the author of the statement believes that, in the end, Europe will realize its mistake by starting to support the winner in this conflict.

At present, we are all witnessing that Europe is really exhausted by the Ukrainian conflict, because it itself has lost the supply of cheap products, energy resources and minerals from Russia

– said the scientist.

Recall that earlier, a journalist from the United States in his article for 19FortyFive allowed Russia and China to exercise control over the Middle East, ousting the United States from there due to the rash policy pursued by the current administration of President Joe Biden. The observer also pointed to Washington's loss of its status as a world power.

    Russia is not able to oust the US from Syria, and China has only dreamed of an active conflict with the US. And no one can do it. The only country from which the US has been forced out is the barbaric medieval Afghanistan.

      And the United States will not be able to oust us from Ukraine ...
      And this cell will be more important than Syria. Victory in Ukraine will split Europe!

        In Ukraine, a military victory is impossible for either side. No matter how this statement is distorted. In Korea, the recognition of the stalemate situation took more than a year from the moment it arose. But in Ukraine there is no stalemate situation yet: ours can (and will) gnaw through on the territory of the LDNR, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine will launch an offensive in the Zaporozhye direction.

      From Afghanistan, the United States fled in a panic - apparently there was infa about Ukraine. They understood that partisans with Russian ATGMs and MANPADS are completely different without them.

      Such strong and rich countries as the USSR are not destroyed themselves.
      It was possible to destroy the USSR only through the joint efforts of the internal countermeasures and Western intelligence services.

        The collapse of the USSR was possible only by joint efforts

        the internal factor was decisive - the elites wanted to live beautifully ..

    The collapse began due to the fact that one idiot with a stain on his forehead began political reforms instead of economic reforms that were long overdue! More precisely, half-measures were present in the economy, and in domestic politics they flooded to the fullest! And further along the roll, including the unwillingness of the party elites to preserve the Union, when the prospect of sovereignty and the opportunity to reign for each specific princeling, including Boris the Tsar, dawned. And also some kind of incomprehensible passivity of the KGB, Ministry of Internal Affairs, even during the putsch, troops were brought in and then zilch They would have acted harder, who knows how everything would have turned out!

    1. The reasons for the collapse of the USSR are different.
    2. "Victory" in the cold war? And the result of the feast victory? The US has suddenly become one of the leading countries in the world, and this is just the beginning.
    3. Employee Malaysian Andrew Sheng is poorly versed in geopolitics, and its causal processes. hi

    It would be more honest that they bought the entire top of the former leaders, who then reported to the United States

    The observer also pointed to Washington's loss of its status as a world power.
    Shen probably had more than enough in the evening ... Because the United States is still the 1-2 power in the economy, and the 1-2 nuclear Superpower. China may have caught up with the United States in the economy, but still only a 3-4 nuclear power. Therefore, in terms of the amount of places, he loses to the United States. Only together with the Russian Federation can he effectively resist the States and K*. What is happening now.
    With all this, the States set NATO against the Russian Federation, entrusting Europe to Great Britain. And they themselves set their sights on the APR. Against the PRC, they put together an "Asian NATO" called AUKUS (AUKUS bloc: Australia, Great Britain and the USA themselves). In addition, the opponents of the PRC are Japan and the ROK.
    So, the United States is an extremely serious and experienced (!) player on the world chessboard, and it is so easy to discount them and deprive them of the status of a "world power" - great stupidity. And - expressed publicly! fool

      The resistance of the United States to the loss of its status will be long. I would not be surprised that the goal is to denazify and demilitarize not only Ukraine.
      And the question is who, apart from the Russian Federation, the United States and China, can share the "prize" places in the nuclear race? The phrase China 3-4 on a vigorous baht is confusing.

    Asians exaggerate the importance of even today's China, and even then, even more so. The USSR had the potential for further quite normal existence and development, and this is Mishan with his team of reformers (let the devils fry them in the next world amamamamam), who, with their social experiments, shook and peddled the economy. And when the economy could not cope, all sorts of outskirts wanted to separate from Moscow in the expectation that "Europe will help us" ©. China had very little to do with this, if at all.

      Solidarity ... One of his supposedly "anti-alcohol" company was worth something ... Nightmare !!! It was a real sabotage... Pure water sabotage! What kind of brains did you have to have (or rather, that you had to have none at all) in order to take and cut down all (ALL, Karl !!!) vineyards ...
      Although, what am I talking about "brains" then? He himself, of course, was a close-minded person, but his woman was far from a fool, and she controlled him - it was visible to the naked eye ... So, it is possible that this very cutting down of vineyards could be some kind of confirmation of "loyalty" damn foreign "partners" ... The first task, so to speak. They were tied with "blood" type (a classic gangster trick). And this task was completed just fine.
      Well, then ... Then everything rolled like a snowball ... Damn perestroika, damn publicity, and the icing on the cake - voucher ... And now - we have what we have ...
      That's interesting to me - will anyone ever calculate how many human lives this damned "perestroika" cost us? Otherwise, everyone is very fond of counting the victims of Solzhenitsyn's "gulag" ... But there were no victims of perestroika ...
      And they - WAS!!!! And they are numberless...
      Sorry for being off topic...

      Well, if it’s about China, then I think that it was the collapse of the Union that pushed China towards America ...
      To be honest, I don’t know when their global cooperation began, but for some reason I think that after all after collapse of the Union, not "before". Logically, it should have been like this. But, perhaps I’m wrong ... In any case, I don’t think that China deliberately had a hand in the destruction of our country ... But the fact that he (China) will quite consciously have a hand in the destruction of America is very want to count...

    What kind of scientist is this, since he does not know the true reasons for the collapse of the USSR? Or did they decide to show us that China has betrayed us and it’s not worth getting closer to it now? )) We know why the USSR collapsed.
    1. First, our Politburo staggered the economy, including turning on the printing press more than once or twice, thereby dispersing inflation.
    2. The Politburo was rotten to the core and was bought. It was clear who was bought - those who were in Belovezhskaya Pushcha + those who were behind them (that is, almost the entire apparatus). Well, and other points, I would not like to go deep.
    So there is no need to tell us how bad China is - the USSR ruined itself from the inside.
