No doubt in my mind. Don’t forget Phat Boi the Nork.
I think you need to be on acid to write this and to read it.
Laughable & sad at the same time.
The writer is a communist Chinese sympathizer
Bizarro doesn’t even cover it. This article reads like it was written by the Central Military Committee of the Chinese Communist Party.
Lots of words. What’s China going to do? Exactly what it has been doing.
“...US foreign policy has been obsessed with how to maintain the nation’s superpower status....”
Not true - The Clinton administration with Madamm Albrite as Secretary of State, and the Obama administration, both worked earnestly to reduce the American influence around the world. The Clinton/Albrite cabal empowered the EU solely to counter the US, saying it is not best for the US to be the only superpower (this was even said in her book).
“For some, this includes designating Iran, Russia and China as enemies because the US doesn’t have total control over these countries, and stirring up Islamic extremism because all three of these countries have large Muslim populations that can be turned into terrorists against their own countries.”
The author has an active imagination.
Ha ha ha What a pile of crap.
Paranoia reveals ignorance and very very narrow thinking. The woman has no clue.
The Iranian general was killed to quell the gathering discontent among Kurds living in Paraguay. Not since the apparent end of Merkosur has there been such danger to the USA from Paraguay
Were Yang's parent 外省?
The US did NOTHING to encourage Arab Muslims to move to China.
The Chinese can’t blame us anymore than we can blame the Chinese for Arab Muslims moving to our country.
This piece is insane kool-aid drinker stuff.
Figures the author is a professor. Completely divorced from reality and lives in her own head creating speculative paranoid fantasies
Wow, these people are as crazy and paranoid as Democrats.
“Then the CIA convinced the Uyghurs to remove their own organs and dishonestly blame the fair and noble Chinese government in a shameless propaganda ploy!”
Curbing Iran's revolutionary impulses is not a threat to the Chinese apart from that. I suggest it were well the Chinese take the presence of two rogue nuclear states on their borders a little more seriously than they appear to be doing. "They wouldn't dare attack" is one of the silliest tropes in all of history, nearly always paid for in blood.
The US has been actively trying to provoke China into a military confrontation since 2013 under the Obama administration by suddenly turning the South China and East China seas into hotspots after decades of peace in the region.
That is simply silly. What changed during that period is the growth of Chinese expansionism especially with regard (but not restricted) to the Spratly Islands, and the inception of a Chinese navy with force projection capabilities. And yes, oil and not the veneer of "fishing rights" is at the root of it. The United States has had open sea lines of communication as a cornerstone of its foreign policy since the Jefferson administration - nothing new there. Should the author wish for a less myopic view of this situation she would do well to consult the Filipinos and the Vietnamese, both of whose governments have apparently rediscovered the attraction of U.S. Naval presence as a result. Her aggressor is in her mirror.
Interesting read. People and countries tend to think “it’s all about them.” Sometimes it is. But more often, they are projecting motives to other people assuming that other countries actions are directed at causing them the harm that resulted from the acts when the harm was an unintended consequence.
I’m certain we intend to keep China within its boundaries. But I don’t think recent events in Iran have much to do with that, unless the author’s real subtext is that we have prevented China from expanding by way of Iran.
“NYU professor provides the bizarro view from China.”
Adjunct professor, not a real professor.
That means she pays NYU to be a professor there, not the other way around.
Total United Front.
