🦉Subject : *CHINA* _by Ismail Bashmori, an *Egyptian Canadian*, and a *China watcher*
*China*’s space station: _From no flush toilets to building its own space station within *40 years*_.
AS an Egyptian, I have been studying *China* intensely for the past year — its government, society, history, and transformation.
I’ve spoken to hundreds of Chinese and China-haters and heard everything they had to say. By now I’ve learned roughly as much about *China* as anyone can learn without knowing the language or living in the country, and I’ve reached my conclusion. *China* attracts a lot of haters, know-nothings and armchair experts.
The truth is that *China* is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far.
It is the first nonwhite, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do.
Forty years ago a flush toilet in *China* was a luxury. Today it has its own *Space Station*. This is a tiny example of *China*’s capabilities.
It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the *Chinese*, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. *China*’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis.
Next to *China* the entire *Western world* from *Alaska* to *New Zealand* has stagnated. Next to *China* the entire developing world from *Brazil* to *Madagascar* has progressed only at a crawl.
*China* is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the *United States*, unlike the *British Empire*, unlike the *French*, *Dutch*, *Germans*, *Spanish*, *Portuguese* or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, *China* doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.
*China* is also standing up to the *West* all by herself. The *West* can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more *China* developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make *China* end.
Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the *United States* has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes.
*China* is the worst fear of our planet’s *Western masters*. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979.
*China* is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the *West*. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened.
The *Global South* are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. *Saudi Arabia*, *Brazil*, *India*.
The 1500s—1000s BC were *Egypt*’s time. Antiquity belonged to the *Greeks* and *Romans*. The 1700s belonged to *France*, and the 1800s to *Britain*. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under *American overlordship*. And they call it the *Pax Americana* but there isn’t much *Pax* in it.
There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in *Europe* or *Australia*. But the *Middle East*? *Afghanistan*, *Iraq*, *Libya*, *Syria*, *Iran* and *Yemen* in the past 20 years. *Latin America*? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. *Africa*? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The *US* sees *Africa* as nothing. The whole West does.
But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack *China* all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria — but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that *China* is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies.
For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, *China* was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of *Japan*’s or *Germany* A GDP — not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now?
*China* will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by *2035*. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? *China* can adapt to any situation. It took *China* a _mere *ten years* to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero._
See, the *US* has an *$800-billion war budget*, *800 military bases*, *13,000 aircraft*, *500 warships*, *6,000 nukes* — but it doesn’t have what China has: invincible national resolve. _It takes the *US* about *5 years* to renovate a bridge, and it takes China *43 hours*._ There’s simply no competing with that.
*China* doesn’t need to be a military superpower or empire. That was never part of the plan. US troops, God bless their souls, will continue sitting in their bases, scratching their balls, costing their government *$800 billion a year* to do nothing. Meanwhile, *China* will continue to actually develop.
That’s the part of the equation that *America* totally missed, because it has barely developed since Reagan’s day. *China* is _a better place to live today than at any time in its previous 5,000 years_; *Americans* saw their highest standard of living in the *1960s* and those days will never come back.
So yes, *China* will be the next global power, and the *Chinese* are vastly superior to us in every way. This is a fact that everyone can attack but that nobody can change, like the theory of evolution.
Look at you silly buggers, talking about *China* like it’s going to be the next *Nazi Germany*. Even many Middle Easterners I know fit in this foolish category. Did you notice when the *US* invaded or overthrew the governments of *20 countries* in the past *32 years* (my lifetime)? Did you even know? You think just because you’re ready to forget all that because of Beyoncé and Game of Thrones and Snapchat and other US cultural exports, it didn’t happen.
The *US* is feeding me terror-bytes about *Hong Kong*, Taiwan*, Tibet, *Tiananmen Square*, *Great Leap Forward* I don’t see any dead bodies, I can’t show you one invasion or one example of *Chinese* regime change, I can’t even find *Hong Kong* on a map or tell you one factual detail about *Tiananmen Square*, but the *US* State Department and all its media are telling me *CHINA* BAD!
Aren’t you at least curious to see what a world with a nonwhite, non-Western leader might look like, after 400 years? Because God knows that leader won’t be us. It won’t be *Brazil* or *Africa*, or the Middle East or *India* or *Indonesia* or *Nigeria* or *Pakistan*. We’re a mess.
*China* was a mess too. But we remain a mess many decades after we achieved independence, and the *Chinese* went their own way, disentangled their mess and created their destiny. We’re not made of what the *Chinese* are made of.
I see *China* as hope. _Hope that a colonised, brutalised, primitive and humiliated country, can rise above its past — refuse to be weak any longer — rebuild itself from nothing, with iron resolve, and become too strong to be overrun by the West again!_
Hope that a nonwhite, non-Western country can look deep within itself and find its own solutions to its problems — proving that (foolishly) trusting the West to guide us isn’t necessary! Proof that if we can do what the *Chinese* did, there will be no limits for us.
Imagine a world where the *US*, *France*, *Britain*, *Australia*, are no more important than *Uzbekistan* or *Paraguay*.
A world where the *World Court* might be headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, the *World Bank* in New Delhi, the *United Nations* in Jakarta, the *IMF* in Cairo.
A world liberated from the US banking system and the dollar as its reserve currency, so that Washington can no longer tell 200 other countries who they can and can’t trade with.
A world where an American can be tried for war crimes at the Hague, not just an Iraqi or Liberian or Serb.
A world where we don’t hear about a non-Western-made vaccine and grunt to ourselves, Oh, it must be poison. A world where we don’t have to immigrate to the same countries that turned ours into hellholes, to work as sales clerks or taxi drivers, or even if we’re brilliantly employed — to drain our brains from our homelands in the best of cases, and use them to reinforce Western riches and supremacy in exchange for a fat paycheck, instead of using them to make our own countries semi-habitable.
When I hear that *China* _has built its own Space Station, landed a rover on Mars, ended extreme poverty, built the Earth’s biggest city, dam, telescope, 5G network, highway, air purifier, or whatever the heck it is that will come tomorrow_ — I feel the same pride as if I were *Chinese*.
_It’s not happening for all of us, but it’s happening for one of us and that’s a start._ There’s got to be such a thing as developing-country nationalism — _a common nationalism for all the countries that were colonised and plundered, and remain economically and politically captured by their ex-rulers_.
A nationalism for the Global South. We are too divided, too brainwashed, too fooled and weak — most of us still worship the countries that destroyed us, are non-Western on the outside and Western on the inside, are hating and fearing and buying all the lies about the only one of us that’s made it, and are leaving our countries in droves to let them burn while we “make a better life for ourselves” in the West.
Do you want to live on a Western-dominated Earth for another 400 years? If you do, keep doing what you’re doing. But I don’t!
You know what’ll happen for all of us if _America’s sick wishes come true_ and its global thuggery does make China collapse? Nothing. Eternal repetition of the status quo. _More enslavement, hijacking of our resources and weak corrupt governments, neo-colonialism, invasion, regime change, sanctions,_ *MISERY*.
Haven’t we already seen this? *Libya*, *Cuba*, *Venezuela*, *Yugoslavia*, *Belarus*, *Iraq*, *Iran*, *Vietnam*, the *Soviet Union*. Rest in peace. Even *FRANCE* and *JAPAN* for God’s sake. What does the *United States* do when any other country says *NO*, or simply becomes too powerful, too good at honest competition?
*Japan* was a Western-style democracy crawling with US troops, with a US-authored pacifist constitution and almost no military and an extremely *pro-US government* and populace, and it STILL got crushed when it looked like it would become the #1 economy in the 80s.
I remember 10–15 years ago when *China* was still relatively poor and impotent, and *Bush* and *Obama* would talk about China as sweetly as swans. *Obama* happily had dinner with *Xi Jinping* in *_late 2015_*, called China a crucial partner of the United States, and said the US welcomed China’s rise; it was all *_horseshit_*. Today *Biden*, who was there with *Obama* in *_late 2015_* as Vice-President, angrily rebukes a reporter who merely said that Biden and Xi were old friends.
America has taken off its mask.
_*China* made it . . . It wasn’t supposed to make it, so now it must die. What a difference 5 years can make._ *China* went from _“crucial partner”_ to _“number one threat”_
We should be helping and supporting *China* to keep climbing to the top, and giving her some serious solidarity as she withstands the new Cold War of Western imperialism. It’s been a long 400 years. *China* is the first non-Western country to even come close to reaching a status of ultimate global importance. _She is akin to the the first member of an impoverished family to go to university._ That is our family of nations.
And when China gets to the top, believe me, it won’t be a repeat of the French, British, or American Empire. Not a single developing country on earth will be worse-off because of *China* becoming #1. There will be something good in this for all of us, so let’s wake up . . . 🥰 😍
