China + Russia = Total failure of Biden's foreign policy

For years when speaking on talk shows, I warned the U.S. not to push China and Russia into each other's arms with aggressive policies. Now the 21st century belongs to China and Russia.

Fear, Shock, Anger, Denial. This is the reaction from the U.S. ruling class and media to the Russian-Chinese alliance that was cemented this week.

A new era has begun. A mighty Eurasian alliance will stand up to the North Atlantic alliance. (By the way, in George Orwell’s dystopian novel, 1984, the empire of Oceania is always at war with Eurasia).

We witnessed a geopolitical earthquake when Chinese leader Xi Jinping traveled to Moscow to meet President Vladimir Putin for a three-day visit and signed a number of cooperation agreements in a wide range of sectors.

But the most important outcome was the signal sent to the world — the U.S. is no longer in charge. Xi has brazenly defied Joe Biden’s demands that Russia be isolated and scorned. In fact, the opposite is happening. More and more countries are signing on to Vladimir Putin’s vision of a multi-polar world that resists U.S. liberal hegemony.

This, by the way, is the root cause of the war in Ukraine. Washington wants to punish Putin and Russia for daring to challenge U.S. global power and its radical liberal vision for the world.

The deeper significance of this week’s meeting is the fact that China has chosen geopolitical interests over economic interests. The U.S. is China’s top trading partner, and six other countries among China’s top 10 trading partners are either NATO members or Asian countries allied with the U.S. In the 15th spot is Russia, behind even Thailand and Mexico. This highlights the fact that China will no longer put economic relations ahead of strategic goals.

Starting in 1990, China placed economic interests first. When the U.S. bombed the Chinese embassy in Serbia in May 1999, Beijing only weakly protested against what essentially was a terrorist attack. Beijing understood that its hand was weak at the time and it didn’t want to upset the world’s most powerful nation.

As of this week, however, China’s economic interests will take a back seat to strategic interests and goals. It’s a very different China, and from now on it’s going to be a very different world.

What are China’s strategic goals? First and foremost, national pride and respect. To understand the context, let’s take a look at Chinese history.

"The Century of Humiliation" (百年国耻) is the period in Chinese history from 1839 to 1945 when the Western powers and Japan intervened, invaded, pillaged and dominated China. Let that fact sink in — for 100 years, about four generations of Chinese knew nothing but Western domination, invasion, and war crimes. This included the burning, rape and pillage of the Chinese capital in 1900.

What do you think? You think the Chinese forgot this? You think they don’t teach it in schools? Oh, certainly they do, and I’ll wager that such a long period of national disgrace is something that motivates 1.4 billion Chinese to work hard and make their country great and powerful, so that nothing of the sort ever repeats.

Not surprisingly, as Xi was leaving Moscow, he told Putin, “Now, we are witnessing changes that haven’t happened in almost 100 years. When we are together we drive these changes.”

Empire of Lies

A year ago, Putin called the West “the empire of lies”. Can anyone argue with him? Just turn on CNN, or look at the New York Times (where I worked from 1998 to 2002); today, it’s non-stop White House propaganda and disinformation.

All last year, our major media promoted the myth that Biden is a powerful president who can pressure Beijing and turn China against Russia. That clearly hasn’t turned out well. How has the White House responded? It has launched a media offensive downplaying the significance of the Russian-Chinese alliance and it threatens sanctions against China if it helps Russia. Good luck with that!

Besides incompetence and stupidity, the White House’s failure is compounded by the fact that Biden’s team actually believes its own lies and propaganda. Our ruling elite is hostage to the false reality that it has created.

As Americans, should we fear this Russian-Chinese alliance? I see no reason. I’m more afraid of the Democratic Party, which wages war on the American people with Covid ‘vaccine’ mandates, which gives unlimited support to Big Pharma, which censors free speech and threatens dissidents, and which has brought the world to the edge of nuclear war in Ukraine.

Speaking of which, Biden’s defeat in Ukraine is coming soon, probably by the end of the year. And when that happens, it will lead to a major collapse in confidence in Western nations, which in turn will lead to even more financial and economic chaos.

Russia and China, along with India, will emerge as the dominant geopolitical bloc on the planet. That’s not something to fear. In fact, on the ashes of Biden’s radical liberal disorder our goal as citizens will be to rebuild the West. A new class of politicians will have to rise to the occasion. The old corrupt elites must be forever swept from power.

I remain an optimist, and I think we’ll soon have a golden opportunity to return the Western world back towards freedom and genuine democracy, and hopefully make it a constructive member of the global community.
