If we care about the possible Diplomatic Boycott of the Five Eyes Alliance, then we have already lost. China used to really care about how the West viewed us and keen on fostering harmonious atmosphere of getting along with the West world. It has now changed. With the rise of China as a world power, the foundation of American hegemony has been weakened, and the superiority of the West has felt the impact from the far east. Therefore it has produced a strong and unprecedented resistance to China. They can no longer like China. The psychological scene of our dealings with the United States and the West has fundamentally changed.
In the future, the only important thing for China is to be good at itself. Whether it is envy, jealousy, hatred, fear, or anger, the attitudes from those elites of the United States and the West are not that important. Their emotions and attitudes are not worthy of our mind. It is also not worthy paying a lot of efforts and resources in order to turn a negative view of China into a positive one.
The mutual respect between China and the West is no longer like our traditional etiquette of being humble and modest, but only will be based on strength. As China becomes more economically powerful, the United States and the West will try their best to stop us, while debating universal values versus economic interests. This is a self-deception in the West and a double-faced approach with no self-respect.
Finally, we must continue to be strong in national defense. Only in this way, the United States and its allies will be in awe of us. The Five Eyes Alliance has military impulses and ambitions against China, but they can only talk about it and dare not take real action. Over time, they will gradually soften and accept peaceful coexistence with China.
China's position as the world factory is unshakable. This World Factory needs sufficient skilled workers, a stable political situation, the supply of upstream and downstream spare parts, and a complete infrastructure, including efficient management of logistics and ports. The manufacturing supply chain is essentially an "ecological culture". Each business in China has its own mode of operation, but on the whole, they collaborate and communicate smoothly, which is difficult for other countries to replace. It is now generally recognized by the international industry that China’s supply chain is still the strongest in the world. For example, after the United States announced that it would impose tariffs on Chinese products, many multinational companies turned their attention to Vietnam, India and other countries. But what many U.S. companies later realized: Whether it is about sanctions, tariffs, or decoupling, the U.S. suffered the most in the end. It can be said that "all roads lead to China", and Trump wanted to start anew. Blocking the road to China, restructuring the industrial chain and supply chain, but the result is the industrial chain and supply chain crisis in the United States today.
With the outbreak of the corona virus epidemic in 2020, China's success in epidemic prevention and control once again demonstrated China's institutional and comprehensive advantages. China is the first country in the world to resume work and production. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, China was the only major economy in the world that achieved positive economic growth and positive trade growth last year. China makes the biggest contribution to the world economic recovery.
One of China's most prominent advantages is industrial clusters. For example, in Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Shanghai City or Dongguan City, the services needed by an industry can be found within a radius of tens of kilometers, including product packaging design, innovation, and consulting services, which are not available in other countries.
By comparing these two approaches of democracy, I think people-oriented "China model" reveals a profound governing rules, that is, no matter which political system is adopted in the given country, say the multi-party system, a one-party state, or no party, the government must be committed to fundamentally improve the people's livelihood, including material and non-material aspects.
From a broader perspective, I think the "Chinese people-centered model" is not only consistent with China's own historical heritage, but also the institutional innovation and wisdom crystallization of the Chinese people. China's governance model has eliminated the largest amount of poverty in human history, created the largest middle class in the world, and made historic achievements in COVID-19 prevention and control, all of which have shocked the rest of the world.
I believe that human history will choose the side of China's people-centered model, that the whole world will eventually move on in the direction of people-centered model, and that western democratic system must evolve in the same direction. We will prevail.
China announced on Sunday that it would downgrade its diplomatic relations with Lithuania from the ambassadorial level to the charge d'affaires level. This is a clear response to Lithuania's opening of a representative office of the Taiwan authorities in the country's capital in the name of Taiwan in spite of China's opposition. This is also a warning: If Lithuania takes further destructive actions on the Taiwan issue, China may sever diplomatic relations with it.
Since the beginning of this year, Lithuania has continued to act maliciously against China. In May, the Lithuanian Parliament passed a motion on the so-called "genocide" and "crimes of human rights violations" in Xinjiang; then Lithuania announced its withdrawal from the China-Central and Eastern European "17+1" cooperation mechanism, and tried to pull other EU countries to withdraw together; In July, Lithuania announced that it would set up a so-called "office" in Taiwan in October or November this year; in early November, seven members of the European Parliament "visited" Taiwan, including former Lithuanian Prime Minister Kubilius.
As Lithuania's provocations against China on the Taiwan issue have become more and more serious, China's countermeasures have gradually escalated. On August 10, China decided to recall the Chinese ambassador to Lithuania and asked the Lithuanian government to recall the ambassador to China.
What is democracy? For the vast majority of Chinese people, democracy naturally means that the people are the masters of the country. Unfortunately, the word democracy has been “registered” by Western countries, which has led to the fact that every time when it comes to the discussion of democracy worldwide, the general public opinion is totally based on Western discourse. In the eyes of most Westerners, democracy is a multi-party system and universal suffrage under the Western model. From the perspective of the Chinese people, this is at best one of many forms of democracy, and may have nothing to do with actual democracy. What's more, the Western model of democracy is declining. In the past few years, we have personally experienced major changes...
I have talked about this point of view in many conversations with Western media. I said that you messed up Iraq, messed up Afghanistan, messed up Syria, and messed up Libya. Now if you want to mess up our Xinjiang region, we will never allow it, and you are absolutely not capable of doing this.
In recent years, Western countries headed by the United States, and Western media have desperately discredited Xinjiang. They falsely claim Xinjiang region is suppressing ethnic minorities, persecuting Muslims, practicing compulsory birth control, practicing forced labor, and so on. It can be said that Xinjiang has been portrayed as a "hell on earth" and a "concentration camp" to the point where it violates the basic common sense of mankind. I think this has indeed exposed the Western countries’ extremely gloomy psychology and the deep confusion about what to do with the rise of China.
The United States deliberately planned the color revolutions to mess up other countries. Generally speaking, there are probably the following three types of countries, or regions are its main targets. I can summarize them as "big power", "geopolitics" and " resource".
China’s Xinjiang region actually integrates these three goals, so the wishful thinking of the United States is that if it messes up Xinjiang, it can achieve the above three goals at the same time, split and dismember China, and interrupt China’s all-round rise. Secondly, Xinjiang region has a geographical advantage and controls access to the core region of Central Asia. Thirdly, this false claim is aiming to plunder Xinjiang's rich natural resources.
The first is a big power, that is, a big country powerful enough to challenge the hegemony of the United States, such as China and Russia. Secondly, geopolitics, that is the key countries and regions in geopolitics. For example, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Syria and so on. There are also resource-rich countries and regions, such as Iraq, Libya, Myanmar and so on.

American Congressmen made a sneak visit to Taiwan.
Translated from China Global Times, on November 11, 2021.
A US Navy C-40A executive plane took off from Manila in the Philippines on The same day and landed at Taiwan Air Force base at 6 PM, carrying an unknown number of US senators and Congressmen for a visit to Taiwan, Taiwan media reported on The evening of September 9. The Taiwan government said it would not elaborate further out of respect for the wishes of the visitors.
The plane landed at a Taiwan air base and soon took off for Okinawa, according to media reports. It is not clear whether the lawmakers followed the plane or stayed behind in Taiwan. It was a sudden and furtive visit. It did not announce in advance that us congressmen are now in Taiwan, but who they are and how many of them are "secret".
US supply chain crisis continues to worsen, Biden’s intervention why no improvement?
Translated from China Global Times, on November 9, 2021.
Supply chain strains in the United States worsened in October after easing slightly. Deutsche Radio reported on August 8 that "empty shelves and long queues" have become a reality of "disrupted SUPPLY chains in the United States." The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, especially for American consumers, who must wait long hours for toys, electronics and spare parts.
The White House has changed! The US is no longer trying to change the Chinese system.
Translated from Chinese social media post, on November 9, 2021.
The United States is no longer trying to change China, but is looking for ways to coexist with It, Sullivan told CNN, Russia's Sputnik news agency reported November 8.
"The goal of the Biden administration is to shape the international environment in a way that is more conducive to the interests and values of the United States, its Allies and partners, and to like-minded 'democracies,'" Sullivan said. It's not about bringing about fundamental changes in China itself."
In his view, one of the mistakes of past U.S. policy toward China was the belief that the Chinese system would undergo fundamental changes through U.S. policy, the report said. "The goal of U.S. Policy toward China is to create an environment in which two great powers can work within the international system for the foreseeable future," Sullivan said. But he added that Washington would ensure the terms of those systems were in the interests of the United States and its Allies, and would "shape the rules of the international road" based on its values.
