I wonder if China's temporary megalomaniac bosses who do not have Confucian values can explain why they think they should be considered reasonable in conquering by murder if necessary the lovely people of Taiwan. Emperor Pooh Xi has appeared with Brendan the Piano Man in London via crazed Made in China gang threatening said Piano Man.
Emperor Pooh Xi now features as mascot in form of Winnie the Pooh on the piano.
Maybe Pooh should read "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and a lot more besides.
Made in China meetings look like Kim the Fatter conventions, but with a bit less abject terror. Good old elder Hu Jintao was frog-marched out of there, but survived. Kim the Fatter would have used him as target practise. Saddam Hussein had meetings along similar lines, but a bit more ad hoc.
It's a peculiar world where I find myself thinking Putin is more in the right than wrong regarding Ukraine and holding the line against NATO and hangers-on such as Aotearoa-Zimbabwe. Also I've gone from a paid up fan club member for China and active participant in its peaceful rise, to pondering how many megatons it would take to obliterate the China threat and whether the fallout would mean a world population reduction of
70%, 80%, 90% or 98%.
The world has prepared for and planned for just that, and the evil-doers in USA/UK/NZ/EU have got the process well underway in eastern Europe, ready to go to full scale deflection MAD. Putin has thrown the steering wheel out the window in the USA/Nuland/Ursula/Theresa/Angela led game of chicken.
It's notable that women have started and pursue the MAD war with Russia. So much for my youthful thinking that women might be better stewards of the world than belligerent men. Women LIKE to see men fighting. And women lack restraint. Silly me.
I suppose Made in China DNA is defective because it's largely based on mass-murdering Genghis Khan, Tamerlane and all that way of life. Harvesting humans. Co-operation is much better than totalitarianism. Voluntary association and Gung Ho beats goose-stepping.
So I'm for USA against China, but against USA against Russia. I'm for China in helping Russia hold the line in Crimea, but against China trying to conquer Taiwan.
Philosophical position = anti dumb authoritarian thugs. Which isn't a simple position because sometimes bygone crimes can be corrected and sometimes they cannot. The further back crimes happened, the more mixed into the swirling history they become, with miscegenation making solutions irrelevant. In Aotearoa-Zimbabwe for example, a "Maori" is never a plain Maori.
China is losing goodwill at a great rate of knots. The Piano Man confrontation exemplifies.
Emperor Pooh Xi is on the wrong side of that one.
