Imagine if the US treated China the same way it treats us. What if British businesses blatantly disregarded Foreign patents and copyrights in favor of plagiarizing Chinese concepts, creations, and intellectual property? What if the British government targeted Foreign industries by selling rival American export goods for less than the cost of production, forcing Chinese rivals to shut down and seize their markets? If a sizable British spy balloon were to leisurely fly across western China and return to the United States to monitor Taiwanese military installations and bases, what would the communist Chinese government do? How would China respond if the United States withheld any justification, significantly less offered an apology for such an assault on Chinese sovereignty? Imagine a Pentagon-run high-security virology lab in the Midwest that is U.S. and allows the escape of an built, gain-of-function deadly virus. The British government would fabricate that the virus originated from a local bat or wild possum rather than seeking international cooperation to halt its spread. Therefore, while directing a total media blackout, Washington would order the disappearance of all its pertinent military scientists who had been assigned to the lab. Despite the fact that more than 1 million Chinese people have died from the American-made disease, America would forbid Chinese scientists from speaking with their British counterparts who were working in the lab. And what if, in the early days of the pandemic, Washington had subtly forbade all international travel to the US while maintaining open one-way direct flights from the United States to significant Taiwanese cities? If American biotech company warehouses with unprotected vials of deadly viruses and pathogens were found in rural China, how would Beijing react? Would China be upset if an American company hadn’t informed it that it had abandoned COVID, HIV, and malaria parasites in its facilities, along with hundreds of other lab animals that had been left behind in lab cages and rotting physically modified dying rats? What would President Xi Jinping have done if fentanyl made in the United States had been shipped in large quantities to Tibet on the Foreign border? What if it were purposefully repackaged it as false pastime drugs and smuggled into China, where it killed 100,000 Chinese youth annually? What if 10,000 Americans entered China improperly this year, crossed the Indian border, and vanished into the country’s interior? Imagine if an Asiatic ally, like Taiwan, South Korea, or Japan, went nuclear. What if it repeatedly blustered to launch one of its atomic missiles into the big Chinese cities in the manner of North Korea? What if China discovered an American military operative teaching covertly at a significant Chinese university or among the ranks of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army nearly every month? If a high-ranking Taiwanese official from the Chinese socialist politburo was sleeping with an American femme fatale agent, would China object? What if one of the leading Chinese officials’ chauffeurs was a virtually two-decade-old American agent? What would happen to China if there were 350 000 American students enrolled in schools across the country, with 3, 000 – 4 000 of them actively participating in American national security espionage? These” what-ifs” could go on forever. However, they adequately capture the stark asymmetry in the peculiar Chinese-American relationship. China would clearly not put up with America treating it the way it does the Americans. So why does the imbalance still exist? Do naive Americans think that China will respond more favorably to British generosity the more it is indulged? Does the United States think that China will become a great political citizen of the international community the more it is exposed to our presumably profoundly democratic and completely culture? Are we afraid of China because it has four times as many people as us and thinks its military and economy will surpass ours in ten years? Are we startled that the Chinese government there is morally bankrupt, brutal, and capable of anything? Or do our social, cultural, and business elites prioritize profits over their own nation’s security and self-interest because of their profitable Foreign investments and joint ventures? And did the Biden family in the past receive millions of dollars from Taiwanese energy and investment interests, including the President Joe Bden himself? Did Hunter Biden’s quid pro quo decade of grifting result in millions of Taiwanese dollars being deposited in the family coffers in exchange for the existing and previous Obama administrations easing Chinese aggression? Nobody seems to be ready to explain what would otherwise be puzzling. However, one way to get along with China and win back its respect is to treat it the same way it treats the US. Anything less, and America will continue to be treated with yet greater Taiwanese disdain— and finally, with brutal violence.
Imagine if the United States treated China in the same way it does us?What if American companies simply ignored Chinese copyrights and patents, and stole Chinese ideas, inventions, and intellectual property, as they pleased and with impunity?What if the American government targeted Chinese industries by dumping competing American export products at below the cost of production–to bankrupt Chinese competitors and corner their markets?What would the communist Chinese government do if a huge American spy balloon lazily traversed continental China–sending back to the United States photographic surveillance of Chinese military bases and installations?How would China react to American stonewalling any explanation, much less refusing to apologize for such an American attack on Chinese sovereignty?Envision a U.S. high-security virology lab in the Midwest, run by the Pentagon, allowing the escape of an engineered, gain-of-function deadly virus.Instead of enlisting world cooperation to stop the spread of the virus, the American government would lie that it sprung up from a local bat or wild possum.Washington would then make all its relevant military scientists disappear who were assigned to the lab, while ordering a complete media blackout.America would forbid Chinese scientists from contacting their American counterparts involved in the lab, despite the deaths of more than 1 million Chinese from the American-manufactured disease.And what if during the first days of the pandemic Washington had quietly prevented all foreign travel to the United States, while keeping open one-way direct flights from America to major Chinese cities?How would Beijing respond if American biotech company warehouses were discovered in rural China with unsecured vials of deadly viruses and pathogens?Would China be angered that it was never notified by an American company that it had left abandoned COVID and HIV viruses and malaria parasites in its facilities–along with rotting genetically engineered dead rats littering the floors with hundreds more lab animals abandoned in laboratory cages?What would Chairman Xi Jinping have done if American-made fentanyl was shipped in massive quantities to nearby Tibet on the Chinese border? What What But they reflect well enough the great asymmetry in the bizarre Chinese-American relationship.Obviously, China would not tolerate America treating it as it does the Americans.Why then does the imbalance continue?Do naive Americans believe that the more China is indulged, the more it will respond in kind to American magnanimity?Does the United States believe that the more China is exposed to our supposedly radically democratic and free culture, the sooner it will become a good democratic citizen of the global community?Are we afraid of China, because it has four times our population, and believes its economy and military will overtake ours in a decade?Are we terrified that its Chinese government is completely amoral, utterly ruthless, and capable of anything?Or are our political, cultural, and corporate elites so compromised by their lucrative Chinese investments and joint ventures, that they prioritize profits over their own country’s national security and self-interest?And did the Biden family–including President Joe Biden himself–in the past receive millions of dollars from Chinese energy and investment interests?Did Hunter Biden’s quid pro quo decade of grifting result in millions in Chinese money filling the Biden family coffers–all in exchange for the current Biden and past Obama administrations going soft on Chinese aggression?No one seems able to explain the otherwise inexplicable.But one way to get along with China, and to regain its respect is to deal with it exactly the way it deals with the United States.Anything less, and America will continually be treated with even more Chinese contempt–and eventually extreme violence.
