President Biden had a recent interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria during which he defended his controversial decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine and suggested that the US can continually support Ukraine the way it supports Israel rather than adding it to the NATO alliance.
About halfway through the interview Biden said something about China that’s worth flagging, because the claim he makes is self-evidently false, and it’s not the first time he’s made it.
Describing the conversations he’s been having with China’s President Xi Jinping, Biden said the following:
“ We're going to put together
the Quad which is India,
Australia, the United States
and Japan.
I got a call from him [Xi] on
that. He said why are you
doing that.
I said we're not doing that to
surround you, we're doing
that to maintain stability in the
Indian Ocean and in the South
China Sea.
Because we believe the rules
of the road about what
constitutes international air
space, international space
and the water should be
maintained.”
Biden uttered this same bogus talking point about not trying to surround China last month at the private fundraising event where he made headlines by calling Xi a “dictator”:
“ But what he was really upset
about was that I insisted
that we — we reunite the
Qu- — so-called Quad.
He called me and told me
not to do that because it was
putting him in a bind.
I said, All we’re doing —
we’re not trying to surround
you, we’re just trying to
make sure the international
rules with air and sea lanes
remain open.”
Biden is lying.
The US is deliberately surrounding China with war machinery and has been for years, and has rapidly escalated its efforts to do so during Biden’s term.
There are currently no fewer than 313 US military bases in East Asia by the Pentagon’s own admission, with the Biden administration adding four new ones in the Philippines.
Biden’s war machine has been busy instituting the AUKUS alliance which is specifically set up to menace China,
- moving nuclear-capable
bombers to Indonesia,
- signing a military deal with
Papua New Guinea,
- working to station missile-
armed marines at
Japan’s Okinawa islands,
- staging provocations in Taiwan,
and
- getting into increasingly
confrontational encounters
with Chinese military vessels
and aircraft off China’s coast
as part of its dramatically
increased military presence in
the area.
So of course the US is trying to surround China, as evidenced by the mountains of US war machinery that are being moved into areas surrounding China.
Biden can babble all he wants about wanting to secure sea lanes and protect international waters, but only a drooling idiot would believe the world’s most powerful empire is militarily surrounding its top geopolitical rival as an act of defense.
And Beijing is under no illusions about this.
President Xi Jinping said in a speech earlier this year that,
“ Western countries—led by
the U.S.—have implemented
all-round containment
encirclement and
suppression against us,
bringing unprecedentedly
severe challenges to our
country’s development."
So Biden isn’t trying to fool the Chinese government with his “We’re not trying to surround you” schtick — he’s trying to fool you.
He’s trying to fool the western public and the allies of the United States, who would get spooked if the US president openly admitted to a deliberate campaign of militarily encirclement against an economic superpower they all trade with extensively.
You simply cannot understand the geopolitics and major conflicts of the 2020s without understanding that the US empire has been actively amassing military threats in the immediate surroundings of its top two rivals — China and Russia — that it would never tolerate anyone else amassing anywhere near the United States.
The single dumbest thing the US empire asks us to believe nowadays is that surrounding its two biggest foes with war machinery is a defensive action, rather than an act of expreme aggression.
