Interesting preachy lecture by:
Dr Mamdouh G Salameh
International Oil Economist
Visiting Professor of Energy Economics at ESCP Europe Business School, London
“President Trump and his advisers are well advised to study and also heed the mantras of Deng Xiaoping, the inspirational architect of contemporary China and is thus among the towering figures of the twentieth century. His mantras about the peaceful rise of China are:
“China should “observe developments soberly, maintain our position, meet challenges calmly, hide our capabilities and bide our time, remain free of ambition, never claim leadership. China should not attempt to be a hegemon, it should never practice power politics and it should never pose a threat to its neighbours or to world peace”.”
Been a while since “Deng....the inspirational architect,” ruled China. I agree about the “hide our capabilities,” but none of the rest still apply—if they ever did—to the current China. (Which this international oil analyst should well know considering just the imperialistic actions of the Chinese to seize pretty much the entire South Chinese Sea and its oil resources from Manila and Hanoi. (Never pose a threat my ass!)
