Why the West is so afraid of China and its rising economy.
By Professor Dennis Ettler
(American political analyst, holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley.)
In my opinion:
“Why is the West paying so much attention to China?
The usual answer is that China’s economic growth is challenging the Western global hegemony that has been in place for at least 250 years.
The Chinese military is also on an equal footing with the West and is no longer intimidated and bullied by the West.
This is all true, it is also the reason why the West wants to savage China and portray it as the root of all evil.
But there is another factor to consider. What frightens the West is not only China's economic and military strength, but also China's success as a country and the West's failure.
Furthermore, in contrast to the system of racism in western societies, China has built a society in which different races live in harmony.
Western ruling elites and their media mouthpieces are reluctant to admit that extreme poverty has been eradicated in China, while their own people are increasingly impoverished.
They don't want to admit that China has built 21st century infrastructure and the west are far behind.
They don't want to face the fact that the Chinese people overwhelmingly support their government, while western people lose faith in their own government.
They don't want to accept the fact that China had as a non-white nation has overtaken them and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future.
To divert attention from these truths, the West has fabricated a series of lies and slander that allow them to deny the reality.
What the West construed is not poverty alleviation, but "genocide".
Instead of focusing on advances in high-speed rail, electric vehicles, alternative energy, and e-commerce, they focus on “intellectual property theft,” which is not a socio-economic system that serves the people.
They even blame China for forced labor and forced sterilization.
Instead of seeing China as defending its national sovereignty in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it calls China an aggressor.
The all China bashing serves multiple purposes, but one of the main reasons is to ensure that Westerners cannot hear or see what the real China actually is.
This is because if they did, they might get the ideas that Western democracy is hopeless and unlike socialism that improve 99% of the nation's need, western capitalism is mainly to enrich the 1% oligarch.
Notes:
This is the best opinion from a westerner, be sure to share this article with your friends because it comes from an American intellectual.
P/S : The professor has said it all. However as I see it, it's not only the West has such fear but those who have the superior racist mindset but fear or lack of confidence to compete at level field who think China or the Chinese people would inhibit their progression or to take over whatever they think is their rights of ownership.
