CHINESE DRAGON ROARS INTO LIFE, UNITED STATES FADES AS KEY WORLD POWER
From 'The Fourth World War' blog :
While the United States is emptying its Treasury into the 'War On Iraq' - distracted, trapped and deeply troubled - China has been busily sewing up massive energy and trade deals with four nations set to become the biggest power players on the international stage in the next decade : Saudi Arabia, Iran, India and Pakistan.
And that is to say nothing of China's quiet, slow infiltration of Africa and its renewed 'friendship' with Russia.
Of course, it's easy to argue that China's military strategists well knew, as did many others around the world, that the United States would sink into an Iraq War quagmire once Saddam Hussein was deposed and the Iraqi Army and police forces were disbanded. Stripping the Sunnis of power in Iraq had long been under discussion in the NeoCon 'think' tanks, but none of the great political, military minds of the world actually thought the US would be dosey enough to do it.
Then along came Paul Bremer.
Regardless of whether or not China knew what would become reality in Iraq, they were none the less ready to make the massive world power plays now unfolding.
It's also decidely clear now that Russia and China will neither back major sanctions against Iran, nor support any military action by the United States to take out its nuclear energy facilities. And the same goes for North Korea.
Behind the scenes, Russia and China have made it well clear to the US and Israel that they will not tolerate any sabotage (in lieu of officially military strikes) on Iran, nor further moves to destabilise the country, the regime or the region.
As the United States begins the long, horrific struggle to extricate itself from Iraq, China stands back and waits, holding more than a trillion US dollars in its reserves, prepared to take massive losses on its US debt holdings now the US is buying less and less Chinese products.
The question now is what will the United States do to counter the continual, rapidly increasing rise of China to the top ranks of world powers?
When China can literally destroy the entire US economy in a matter of days - by utterly dumping its US debt holdings on the world markets at the first signs of true aggression - it seems the United States has no cards left to play.
No cards, that is, outside of friendship, honourable diplomacy, respect and good relations. All things that Russia insists on the United States supplying in large doses. And not just ack to China, but to Iran as well.
As China moves to solidify its enormous financial power on the world economic stage, so too it is arming itself to cope with any and all the military strengths of the United States.
China is rapidly closing the gap with the United States in regards to military strength. And that's only what they're currently disclosing, or allowing American spies and intelligence agents to know.
The true secrets of China's military strength, and future combat systems, are buried far below the earth, well out of sight of the United States' and Israel's spies and spy satellites.
