The Indigenous Peoples of the world have suffered under the ignorant mismanagement of their conquerors, Europeans, Americans, Canadians, British, French, and Chinese. China is now part of the Colonial Club, and the Tibetan People are indigenous to Tibet. Their oppression by China has continued.
As the Europeans and North Americans have done before them, China has been in the process of mass indoctrination of all its ethnic minorities, with Chinafication as a central policy of the ruling Communist Party and the Leader President Xi. Europeans before them used religion and societal protocols as tools in their efforts to subvert and transform indigenous culture into European, and then North American. The past decade has shown America just how wronged the Indigenous peoples have been treated historically. With realization hopefully comes what many call the truth and reconciliation process. Many governmental departments simply throw money at the problem and move on to more pressing issues. Promises are given, with indigenous expectations hopefully achieved in time.
I am not China-bashing here. The Chinese have reached a level of financial and political power not seen in many decades. China’s wealth has bought them influence and political power as well. While those who neighbor on China’s border have much to fear, what with a military presence not seen in Asia since the days of The Imperial Japanese Empire, many nations face Chinese pressures upon them, their officials, and their populations. What China cannot buy into its political sphere, it attempts to acquire through fraud, intimidation, bribery, and misappropriation.
What many in the diplomatic and professional political sectors will dare not admit to or say, is that Chinese Foreign and Domestic policy and its ideology is based upon an accepted Chinese belief that the Chinese are a Chosen People, who patiently will acquire the globe and through their leader’s wisdom, and the Peoples Communist Party’s power transform the world. The Chinafication Process has begun in many nations, where Chinese cadres seek and train candidates and supporters. Learning Cantonese has never been more popular, as too understanding China’s place in the world today.
Taiwan is China’s next victim in their growing hunger for territory and political significance. Should Taiwan fall to China, much of Asia will recognize what the Borg proclaimed in Star Trek, but instead of it being the Borg it would refer to the Chinese. It would go like this…”We are the Chinese. Lower your defenses and surrender your ships. We will add you to our societal and technological distinctiveness. Your culture will adapt to serve the Chinese. Resistance is Futile“.
China is doing what every great empire has done before it, accumulating wealth, power, and resources while protecting itself from both domestic and foreign threats. All we need to know is what those threats may be. Let’s see now…
Freedom of thought, actions, pursuits, individuality, and creative impulses.
Loss of individual oligarchs’ power, wealth, and influence.
Prideful ambitions to achieve China’s Full Potential.
The ending of China’s Political, Social, and Cultural Dictatorship.
Please realize that the Chinese of Beijing believe “that assimilating other races into the Chinese Collective, the Chinese bring them closer to perfection”. The Little Red Book says so(Mao’s Bible).
Global War is a distinct possibility. While the Russo-Ukrainian Conflict is controllable and isolated, China has far too many tentacles placed strategically throughout the globe. A conflict involving China will truly be a War of the World.
