'New Cold War': Democracies pushing back against China

[Vanguard One]

@ "democracies" pushing back against China...

the achilles heel of all democracies is that the it puts indecisive & corrupt people into power who would always put their own pockets ahead of the interests of their constituency, be it local, city, county, provincial or national. And China knows EXACTLY how to peak their interests in complying to Beijing.

So you are living in a democracy? Why?

LOL, You are losing it, aren't you? We are happy with our leadership for as long as they can deliver, no matter how you hate them and how they get on your nerves, there's not much you can do.
As for you prediction for the future, we'll see, we'll see where the west will go and where China will go.

Here is Deng Xiaoping 1974 UN speech...

https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/deng-xiaoping/1974/04/10.htm

Of course, Deng denounced the US and USSR as 'imperialists'.

But at the end, Deng said...

If one day China should change her colour and turn into a superpower, if she too should play the tyrant in the world, and everywhere subject others to her bullying, aggression and exploitation, the people of the world should identify her as social-imperialism, expose it, oppose it and work together with the Chinese people to overthrow it.
​

Looks like China changed according to what Deng hoped not.

But hey...If you are happy with the way China is going...

Democracies more like banana republics considering the morons they have as head of these states. Democracy is a privilege for the rich.

WWII was democracies (baring USSR) vs dictatorship.. Who won in the end??

Please do a bit of research before spouting nonsense. It was a WW2 democracy that was colonizing and starving millions in the subcontinent not some Authoritarian regime. Your so called democracies sucked their colonies dry killing hundreds and thousands just to fuel their war. If someone won doesn't mean they were right.

Democracy is a farce, people are being manipulated into believing they have the power but they really don't.

That's why I can tell you first hand how it produces corrupt & greedy politicians!

It is becoming fashion to talk bad about democracy seating in some western liberal democratic countries.

It's the truth whether you like it or not...

Democracies like the ethnocratic monarchy British Empire that enslaved and starved millions of Indians?

Democracies like KMT? Who voted for Chiang Kai Shek, can you tell me?

3/4 allies that survived to the end of the war were non-democratic.

Meanwhile Tojo and Hitler were both elected to office. Tojo and Hitler are as democratic as Modi is, perhaps even moreso.

 

[Chhatrapati]

Pissing contest at democracies. It's not about who is right but pushing China around.

Whereas with China style authoritarianism, the Party is honest with the people: You don't mean sh1t to us, so obey or die.

Democracy is a religion without god. It is no different than communism or whatever-sm.

Sure. Then why did your China failed at communism?

Second, do you mean sh!t to Trump?

An increasingly dangerous pattern is emerging around the globe as countries push back against what they see as belligerence and bullying from the Chinese government.

In recent weeks and days, Indian and Chinese troops have fought a deadly clash on their disputed Himalayan border.

US aircraft carriers have sailed in to test China's illegal claims over the South China Sea.

Chinese ships pressure Japan in the disputed East China Sea, and Chinese warplanes intrude on Taiwanese airspace.

And in the virtual world, Chinese cyber-warriors engage in industrial-sale cyber theft.

"If you're an American adult, it is more likely than not that China has stolen your personal data," FBI director Christopher Wray said earlier this month.

Overnight, Britain became the latest country to ban Chinese telco giant Huawei from the rollout of next-generation wireless broadband.

Australian Strategic Policy Institute executive director Peter Jennings said the globe had effectively entered a new Cold War, between China and the world's leading democracies.

Regional players like India, Japan and Australia are strengthening their alliances.

"Everywhere now, China is losing friends and partners through its own offensive behaviour," Mr Jennings said.

And as tension between the greatest powers grows, Australian warships are also on their way to join the US-led Pacific Rim wargames.

There are growing concerns that Beijing's next step in the South China Sea stand-off will be to declare it controls all the airspace over the world's most contested waterway.

"All of this goes to their sovereign claim, which overnight the US has declared illegal," Mr Jennings said.

It's a claim Australia also disputes, while an international tribunal in the Hague has also rebuked China's behaviour in the region.

This isn't the same democracy that claimed Iraq had WMD that could destroy Europe in 30 minutes? A lie that resulted in the genocide of millions of innocent Iraqis.

both Modi and Hitler are fascists.

the difference is, at Hitler expanded the German economy at first with his questionable economic policies. Modi couldn't even do that.

There's a reason why the swastika (an Indian symbol) was chosen by the Nazis.

If india ever become as powerful as nazi Germany was it will eliminate its muslim population same was hitler did to Jewish. Modi and most of the bjp ministers are active member of RSS which is same as nazis.

Usa is democratic society which actively suppressed its black population for decades. In 1940s 50s 60s usa was still democracy it didn't stop comparing there own black citizens same as dogs.

No wonder ppl are so triggerd now a days in usa regarding police..race relations and wide spread social unrest.
