Protesters in China, the hybrid war
The hybrid war, being conducted against China by the United States and its gaggle of puppet states from the UK to Canada to Australia,
has entered a new stage. The first phase involved the massive shift of US air and naval forces to the Pacific and constant provocations against China in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Strait.
The second phase was the creation of disinformation about China's treatment of minority groups, especially in Tibet and west China. That this propaganda campaign has been carried out by nations such as the US, Canada and Australia
who have the worst human rights records in the world with respect to their indigenous peoples, subjected to centuries of cultural and physical genocide by those governments, and who refuse to protect their minority peoples from physical attacks and discrimination despite their human rights laws,
shocks the conscience of any objective observer.
But not content with that, [
in phase three] the
propaganda was extended to China's economic development, its international trade, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, its Silk and Belt Road Initiative, its development bank, and other facilities and trade initiatives, through which
China is accused of trying to control the world; an accusation made by the very nation that threatens economic embargo or worse, nuclear annihilation, to anyone, friend or foe, who resists its attempt to control the world.
The fourth phase is the US attempt to degrade the Chinese economy with punitive "tariffs," essentially an embargo on Chinese goods.
That the objective is not better trade deals but to bring China to its knees is the fact that the
negative effect of these tariffs on American consumers, farmers and manufacturers is considered secondary to the principal objective.
