Xi Jinping giving New Year speech (Xinhua)
China used to brag that it never interfered in other countries'
business. Whenever someone complained that China massacring peaceful
protesters or Tibetans or Uighurs, Chinese officials would say that
it's an internal matter, and just as China didn't criticize other
nations' internal matters, other nations should just leave China
alone.
But according to China's president Xi Jinping's delusional New Year's
address to the nation, all of that is changing now that both
Xi Jinping and China have become strong and powerful:
<QUOTE>"As a responsible major country, China has something
to say.
China will resolutely uphold the authority and status of the
United Nations, actively fulfill China's international obligations
and duties, remain firmly committed to China's pledges to tackle
climate change, actively push for the Belt and Road Initiative,
and always be a builder of world peace, contributor of global
development and keeper of international order. The Chinese people
are ready to chart out a more prosperous, peaceful future for
humanity, with people from other countries."<END QUOTE>
One can only shrug and wonder what much of this means. With regard to
upholding the United Nations, the United Nations Permanent Court of
Arbitration in the Hague has already ruled that China is an
international criminal. ( "13-Jul-16 World View -- Philippines humiliates China in harsh Hague Tribunal ruling over South China Sea"
) China is also the
principal supporter of Russia in illegally annexing Ukraine's Crimea
peninsula. China has no intention of upholding the authority of the
United Nations, except selectively for its own benefit.
Xi Jinping says that China will "always be a builder of world peace,
contributor of global development and keeper of international order."
Does anyone seriously believe that?
I've gotten quite a bit of reaction to my October 24 World View
article, Xi Jinping's 'Socialism with Chinese characteristics' is identical to Hitler's National Socialism.
In that article I wrote that the Chinese people
themselves have become almost completely delusional. Press reports
indicate that many Chinese, especially young Chinese, believe that
China's Socialism has already beaten the United States. They believe
that because China is a dictatorship, it can accomplish things that a
democracy can't, and therefore can defeat the Western democracies at
any time of their choosing.
The things that I've been told are all anecdotal, but they're
consistent. Chinese people consider themselves superior to Americans
and other Western people, and expect to use military power (war) to
dominate the world, and set up a "new world order."
From what I can tell, Chinese people don't actually hate Americans.
They save that vitriolic hatred for other Asians, including people
from Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea and Japan. One person told me
how contemptuous the Chinese he's spoken to are towards the people
from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Another person wrote,
<QUOTE>"The Chinese are arrogant, rude, intolerant, loud,
demanding and overbearing. They flaunt their wealth and rule over
underlings, especially foreign ones, with an iron fist and a
bamboo rod. Other Asians despise them and wherever they go as
tourists they are disliked and held in disdain as being little
more than peasants with credit cards."<END QUOTE>
I keep comparing the Chinese today to the Nazis of the 1930s, and the
points of comparison keep growing. The Chinese seem to consider
themselves to be the "Master Race," just as the Nazis did. The
Chinese consider it their right to annex regions belonging to other
countries, just as the Nazis did. And the "Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics" is the same as Nazi's "National Socialism."
A lot of these impressions are anecdotal, but they're consistent. If
there's are any Chinese people out there who think that I'm wrong,
then please write to me and tell me that I'm wrong and why. Because I
would very much like to be wrong.
I frequently quote Friedrich Nietzsche and I do so again now:
"Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties,
nations and epochs, it is the rule."
As things stand, China is delusional and on the same path as Nazi
Germany. China will cause a catastrophe to itself and the rest of the
world. History will look back on China as the worst disaster to the
world in history, worse than the Nazis and the Imperial Japanese
combined. By 2050, China will be worse off than it was in 1950.

**** Xi Jinping promises to eliminate poverty by 2020
****
If Xi Jinping's speech sounded delusional about foreign policy,
it sounds totally wacky on economic issues.
According to Xi, in only three more years, by the year 2020, those
rural residents who are currently living in conditions of extreme
poverty should be lifted above the poverty line:
<QUOTE>"It would be the first time in thousands of years of
Chinese history that extreme poverty had been eliminated. It is
our solemn promise.
Only three years are left to 2020. Every one of us must be called
to action, do our best ... This is a great cause, important to
both the Chinese nation and humanity. Let's do it together and
make it happen."<END QUOTE>
Just in general, the whole "poverty" concept is largely a hoax.
Regulators always define the "poverty line" that separates the poor
from the rest, so that there are always 10-12% of people in poverty.
This is a matter of definition. Whatever algorithm regulators use to
define poverty, it always comes out so that 10-12% of the people are
in poverty.
No matter how wealthy a country is, there's always a poorest 10-12%.
So by definition, poverty can never be cured.
So here's Xi Jinping promising to end poverty in China by 2020,
three years from now. China is known to lie about economic
statistics, and it may simply be that Xi Jinping believes what
his government tells him.
China claims an annual 6.9% growth rates, but I've heard many
analysts claim that the true figure is close to 1%, and that
the 6.9% figure represents increase in debt, rather than increase
in growth. This is a subtle distinction that may be beyond the
understanding of a politician like Xi Jinping.
Xi's speeches have been promising aggressive development of China's
"Belt and Road Initiative" (BRI). In this vision, China will be
building towns, cities, buildings, roads and other infrastructure
throughout Asia, and continuing all the way to Europe. In the oceans,
China will be making new alliances and numerous ports for Chinese
ships, putting China at the center of a new world order.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF), Bank of International
Settlements (BIS), Moody's and S&P have all expressed alarm
at China's ballooning debt, and are predicting a major correction.
This is consistent with the Generational Dynamics prediction
of a global financial panic and crisis.
As for the Belt and Road Initiative, the situation in Sri Lanka, where
China financed building of a seaport then ended up controlling it
because Sri Lanka can't make the payments, has raised a lot of
suspicions that China is setting a debt trap for other nations as
well. Projects in Pakistan and Nepal have been put on hold for this
reason, putting the whole BRI concept into question. Xinhua and India.com and Forbes and Fortune (7-Dec) and Politico (EU)

Kim Jong-un on television on Sunday (AP)
North Korea's child dictator Kim Jong-un also gave a New Year's speech
in which he bragged that he's already safe from attack by the United
States, and that he's building an arsenal of nuclear missiles with
which to attack the United states:
<QUOTE>"The U.S. should know that the button for nuclear
weapons is on my table. The entire area of the U.S. mainland is
within our nuclear strike range. ... The United States can never
start a war against me and our country. ...
We must mass-produce nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles and
speed up their deployment."<END QUOTE>

**** Generational Dynamics World View finishes another year with a perfect record
****
Well, it's the beginning of the New Year.
There were 365 days in 2017, and I posted 365 Generational Dynamics
World View articles. I didn't miss a single day. A perfect record.
That just proves what an obsessive mind is capable of.
When I started writing daily articles in January 2010, I wrote "Dear
Reader, I'm going to try this for a while and see if it works for me.
Ideally I'll produce a news summary every day, but that's probably
unrealistic. I'll try to do it as often as possible." Much to my own
amazement, I'm still doing it every day eight years later.
I started the Generational Dynamics web site in 2003. Since then,
I've written almost 6,000 articles containing thousands of
Generational Dynamics predictions and analyses, all of which have come
true or are trending true. None has been proven wrong. No web site,
analyst, journalist, or politician has come even close to the
analytical and forecasting success of GenerationalDynamics.com.
Generational theory is truly amazing, and a truly historic
development.
Now it's 2018, and we're looking forward to an extremely dangerous
year, with crises in North Korea, China, the South China Sea, the
Mideast, Crimea, Africa, and elsewhere. Any one of these crises could
spiral into something bigger. As we've reported recently, even
Chinese officials are saying that they expect a war over North Korea
in the next few months.
If you want to forget about what's going on in the world, then just
focus on the politics of the Russia dossier or the latest sexual
harassment accusation. But if you do want to know what's going on in
the world, then the #1 most accurate source in the world is the daily
Generational Dynamics World View articles. You can read them every
day on GenerationalDynamics.com and on the excellent Breitbart National Security web site, or you can subscribe, and receive
them for free every day in your inbox.
