**** China's 'Wolf Warrior' strategy moves towards world war
****


China views Australia as being a puppet, with America as the puppetmaster (Global Times)

This is an article about two subjects -- threats by the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP) to bomb Australia and the unraveling of the
CCP's Wuhan coronavirus coverup. As different as these issues are,
they have a common core: the intense increase in the last year of
China's xenophobia, paranoia, nationalism and belligerence. This has
been predicted by Generational Dynamics for years, as the prelude to
world war. By now, the level of hostility between China and the West
is as bad as the hostility between Japan and the US in 1941, in the
months prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

This is being described as a sharp rise in "Wolf Warrior" strategy,
named after a 2015 Chinese-produced military action film that demands
a belligerent response to anyone disrespecting China.

Here's how left-leaning Foreign Policy magazine puts it:

<QUOTE>"Sometime in 2020, China came unmoored from its grand
strategy. Until then, Beijing’s diplomatic, military, and economic
efforts were all directed toward national security. ... The
consistency of purpose underpinning China’s behavior was hard to
miss.

Of late, however, China has lost that purposefulness -- one of the
hallmarks of grand strategy. The predominant feature of Chinese
conduct today is not grand strategy but a belligerent, defensive
nationalism that lashes out without heed of consequences. Just why
that breakdown has occurred is uncertain, but it is clear that the
change has put both China and the world in jeopardy. China risks
undoing all it has gained -- at considerable cost -- since the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) came to power. And the rest of the
world, particularly the United States, finds itself confronted not
with the hard task of managing a rising, reasonably predictable
power but the infinitely harder job of managing a flailing
one."<END QUOTE>

Analysts analyzing the situation say that the rise in this kind of
xenophobic nationalism actually began in 2008 with the global
financial crisis. I would agree with that because 2008 was 59 years
after the end of China's civil war in 1949, and so was the time that
China entered its generational Crisis era (Fourth Turning), just as
2003 was the time when America entered its generational Crisis era, 58
years after the end of World War II. There's a parallel between
Washington and Beijing in that sensible policies in this era have been
replaced by total lunacy in both capitals. Unfortunately, that's how
world wars start.

Last year I gave as an example of the insanity of CCP policy is that
it was threatening war over 21 different border disputes with
neighboring countries. This would be like America threatening border
disputes with Canada, Russia, Mexico, Haiti, Dominican Republic and
Cuba. The CCP no longer has any coherent strategy, and is striking
out in all directions. (See "5-Jul-20 World View -- Gleeful China wins big Hong Kong victory at UN Human Rights Council -- India's list of China's border disagreements"
)

****
**** Australia's long hostile relationship with China
****

Australia has a long history of antipathy towards Chinese in Australia
since European settlement, starting with race riots amid the gold rush
of the 1850s and '60s. With hundreds of Chinese prospectors injured
and evicted from mining sites, the unrest prompted immigration rules
that led to the infamous "White Australia" policy, which existed in
various forms from 1901 until 1973.

Although these racist policies were repealed decades ago, there has
never been a comfortable relationship. In May 2018, an Australian MP
accused politicians of Chinese ancestry of being spies for the CCP,
and the parliament passed sweeping influence laws targeting secret
attempts by foreign spies to influence Australia's politicians, media,
ethnic groups and civil society organizations. ( "29-Jun-18 World View -- Australia passes foreign influence laws, targeting China"
)

In April of last year, Australia's relationship with China
deteriorated significantly after prime minister Scott Morrison called
for an international inquiry into the origins of the coronavirus
pandemic. The Chinese were furious, assuming that it was an attack on
the CCP (which, in fact, it was). Morrison further infuriated the
Chinese for commenting on human rights abuses in Xinjian and Hong
Kong, and for criticizing China's repeated threats to invade Taiwan.

At this point, China was deep into its "wolf warrior" phase. China
blocked or slowed exports from Australia of numerous products,
including wine, barley, beef, timber and coal.

Australia was infuriated in December when China's foreign ministry
tweeted a fake picture of an Australian soldier holding a knife to the
neck of an Afghan baby, saying, "Don't be afraid, we are coming to
bring you peace." In his strongest criticism of China, Morrison said:

<QUOTE>"The Chinese government should be totally ashamed of
this post. It diminishes them in the world's eyes. It is an
absolutely outrageous and disgusting slur. Australia is seeking an
apology from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and we are seeking it
be removed from Twitter."<END QUOTE>

Needless to say, China did not apologize, and Twitter did not remove it.
However, Morrison's statement was significant because it was strong
comment Morrison had ever made about the CCP since taking office.

****
**** Australia retaliates by cancelling BRI projects
****

Four months later, in April of this year, Australia struck back at
China by canceling Belt & Road Initiative (BRI) agreements that China
had contracted with Victoria, a province in southeast Australia. The
reason given was that the projects were not compatible with
Australia's security, and made Victoria too dependent on China.
Agreements with Iran and Syria were also scrapped at the same time.

These were small projects, so this should not have been a big deal,
and it would not have been in any other era. But China responded with
rage and threats, calling the cancellation "unreasonable and
provocative," and vowing revenge.

China's state media Global Times accused Australia to be a puppet of
the United States, and wrote the following, referring to Australia's
capital city Canberra:

<QUOTE>"Canberra must have known or even anticipated that its
action would draw such a furious response and potentially
crippling countermeasures from Beijing. However, it still decided
to move ahead with the action. Clearly, Canberra is increasingly
unhinged and in way over its head by taking such a suicidal attack
on not just China but also its own economic interests.

Since the cancellation of the BRI deals, speculation has been rife
that Canberra may soon suffer from the wrath of its largest
trading partner. Given the viciousness and seriousness of the
move, we won't be surprised if China takes forceful
countermeasures to inflict serious pain on Australia. With China's
comprehensive strength, there are numerous ways for China to
achieve that."<END QUOTE>

The reason for China's hysterical response is that the cancellation
of this small project is a loss of faith for the CCP and Xi Jinping
himself.

As I've written in the past, has a totally delusional geopolitical
strategy based on BRI. Guided by China's leadership, countries
throughout Africa, Asia and the Mideast will put aside their
disagreements. Old hatreds will be mended by necessity, to attract
capital for investments. These include countries like Iran, Saudi
Arabia, India, and Pakistan. China will create a "global colossal,"
of dozens of countries in a massive multi-country partnership, bound
together by China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). China foresees
connecting the world through trade and peace, but foresees only one
obstacle: that America will try to block it, leading to war.

China has used bribery, corruption, and threats to coerce countries in
Asia, Africa and Europe agree to build BRI projects in those
countries. However, China is receiving increasing resistance to these
projects because of "debt trap diplomacy," which gives China almost
effective control over each national government. This is actually
what Australia feared, in canceling Victoria's BRI project.

A firm cancellation of Australia's Victoria BRI project would be
the first such cancellation and would be a major crack in the
entire delusional geopolitical plan, since it would provide cover
for other countries to similary cancel or refuse BRI projects.

So China's hysteria over the cancelation, with threats of revenge,
is intended to force Australia to reverse its decision, just
as the boycotts of barley, coal and other products was intended
to force Australia to back down from its demands in the
area of human rights and particularly its demand for an international
investigation of the source of the Wuhan Coronavirus.

At the beginning of May, the editor in chief of the Global Times
posted the following editorial:

<QUOTE>"Given that Australian hawks keep hyping or hinting
that Australia will assist the US military and participate in war
once a military conflict breaks out in the Taiwan Straits, and the
Australian media outlets have been actively promoting the
sentiment, I suggest China make a plan to impose retaliatory
punishment against Australia once it militarily interferes in the
cross-Straits situation. The plan should include long-range
strikes on the military facilities and relevant key facilities on
Australian soil if it really sends its troops to China's offshore
areas and combats against the PLA. In addition to making the plan,
China should also reveal this plan through non-official channels
to deter the extreme forces of Australia and prevent them from
taking the risk and committing irresponsible
actions.

China loves peace and will not take the initiative to pick a fight
with faraway Australia, but Australian hawks must be
clear-minded. If they are bold enough to coordinate with the US to
militarily interfere in the Taiwan question and send troops to the
Taiwan Straits to wage war with the PLA, they must know what
disasters they would cause to their country. China has a strong
production capability, including producing additional long-range
missiles with conventional warheads that target military
objectives in Australia when the situation becomes highly
tense."<END QUOTE>

This is a remarkable statement, for several reasons:

• It assumes that China will soon be invading Taiwan. This is
  undoubtedly true, since China's foreign ministry threatens Taiwan
  frequently, and China's military conducts threatening exercises around
  Taiwan.
  
  
• It assumes that America will defend Taiwan. Some people doubt
  this, but I have no doubt that it's true. At any rate, the Chinese
  Communists believe it to be true.
  
  
• It assumes that Australia will join America in defending Taiwan.
  Given Australia's nationalism and anti-Chinese xenophobia, as well
  as its support for Taiwan, I believe this to be true. However,
  the purpose of the Global Times editorial is to threaten the
  Australians into not defending Taiwan.
  
  
• It demands that China's military prepare to attack Australia with
  long-range missiles with conventional warheads.

This editorial well illustrates the belligerent mood in Beijing, and
its "wolf warrior" attitude that China must never be disrespected.

****
**** Evidence grows that Wuhan coronavirus came from Wuhan Virology Lab
****

Now let's turn to the second subject area, the Wuhan coronavirus.

Last week, president Joe Biden ordered intelligence officials to
investigate the origins of the Wuhan Coronavirus, including the theory
that it came from the Wuhan Virology Lab in China, either accidentally
or intentionally, and that the virus was the result of "gain of
function" research to create a bioweapon for the military. The
investigation will also look at China's actions in covering up the
spread of the virus, protecting China by blocking internal travel, and
then purposely spreading the virus to 180 other countries by
encouraging air travel between Wuhan and those countries.

This order has caused a seismic shock in Beijing, as well as in
Washington's mainstream media.

Simply calling for an investigation isn't exactly an act of war, but
we've seen how Australia's call for an investigation in March of last
year led to hysterical calls for revenge and retribution, including
boycotts of Australian goods, escalating up to the present time when
Chinese media is talking about bombing Australian soil.

The CCP is far more reluctant to threaten the US militarily than to
threaten Australia. Nonetheless, they must be considering possible
forms of revenge in the next few weeks.

For now, the CCP response is limited to the usual hysterical
lying and deceptions. Here's the statement from China's foreign
ministry spokesman:

<QUOTE>"However, some in the US, turning a blind eye to
facts, science, the questionable study of origins and botched
response at home, kept clamoring for additional investigation in
China. This shows that they don't care about facts or truth and
have zero interest in a serious science-based study of
origins. Their one aim is to use the pandemic to pursue
stigmatization and political manipulation to shift the blame. They
are being disrespectful to science, irresponsible to people's
lives, and counter-productive to concerted global efforts to fight
the virus. With 33 million confirmed cases and 600,000 deaths from
COVID-19, both the highest in the world, the US, instead of
examining its own behavior, attempted to scapegoat China. What are
they up to? Can they sleep at night with a troubled conscience?

What secrets are hidden in the suspicion-shrouded Fort Detrick and
the over 200 US bio-labs all over the world? In July 2019, there
were reports on the unexplained outbreaks of respiratory disease
in northern Virginia and on the subsequent EVALI outbreaks in
Wisconsin. What's hidden there? When will the US release detailed
data and information on relevant cases? It owes an explanation to
the world."<END QUOTE>

There are many biolabs in many countries around the world, including
one at Fort Detrick biodefense center, where an infectious disease
research program was shut down in 2019 over problems with disposal of
dangerous materials. However, there was no threat to public health,
no injuries to employees, and no attempt to protect the United States
while purposely infecting 180 countries around the world, so its
in no way comparable to the Wuhan Virology Lab.

The seismic shock to Washington's mainstream media is that this is the
biggest story of the century, and yet the mainstream media adamantly
refused to investigate and report on it, but has cooperated with the
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to label it as "fake news" or a
"conspiracy theory" that was dreamed up by president Donald Trump
for political reasons.

Left wing media pundits have been falling all over themselves trying
to explain why Donald Trump was right and they were all wrong about
the biggest story of the century. Joy Behar of the TV show The View,
who is a total idiot, said:

<QUOTE>"Trump was blaming the Chinese from the beginning. He
was using them as scapegoats. If it happens to be true it was from
Wuhan, then that was just a lucky break on his part because he
took a guess, in my opinion."<END QUOTE>

This was echoed by other mainstream media pundits, explaining
that the reason that they missed the story of the century was that
they didn't want to admit that Trump was right.

However, I believe that the real reason is obvious and far more
sinister. The mainstream media and many politicians are totally
compromised by the Chinese. News organizations that report news that
"disrespects" China can be expelled from China, and even have their
reporters jailed. Sports figures have been forced to make humiliating
public apologies, kowtowing to China, for merely uttering the word
"Uighur" or the phrase "the nation of Taiwan." California
representative Eric Swalwell was totally compromised by an affair with
a hot Chinese spy, and Joe Biden and his son Hunter are totally
compromised by their financial deals with China. But that's just the
tip of the iceberg. The CCP have given grants, provided money,
provided girls, and provided workers to every university, every
public, private and governmental organization, to infiltrate them.
This has been a nationwide scandal in Australia and New Zealand.

That China operates this way has been well-documented in many
countries, with the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) being the primary
bribery and extortion vehicle in Asia, Africa and Europe. This is
China's playbook, and it gives them the leverage to use extortion
against any reporter, sports figure or politician that might otherwise
"disrespect" China or disagree with Chinese Communist policies.

So that's the reason why the mainstream media have been refusing to
investigate and report the greatest story so far this century. They
would rather find a way to blame Trump, even though it makes them look
like idiots, rather than admit to being extorted, which they were.

Biden was clearly reluctant to order any investigation for the same
reasons, and in fact in January he closed an investigation in the
State Dept. that had been opened by Trump and Mike Pompeo. So what
changed?

It's just that circumstantial evidence has been growing and growing
more powerful over time. This has included whistleblowers and
scientists who had worked in the Wuhan Virology Lab.

There were several triggering events during the month of May:

• On May 14, an article in Science Magazine, signed by dozen of
  scientists, said that "consideration of evidence supporting a
  laboratory accident was insufficient," and said that "A proper
  investigation should be transparent, objective, data-driven, inclusive
  of broad expertise, subject to independent oversight, and responsibly
  managed to minimize the impact of conflicts of interest."
  
  
• Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden's chief medical adviser, has
  always maintained he believes the virus was passed from animals to
  humans, but flip-flopped this month. Fauci was also accused of lying
  to Congress over "gain-of-function" research, as described below.
  
  
• On May 5, the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists published an article
  analyzing the work of Shi Zheng-li, known as "Bat Lady," who had lead
  research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology to employ gain-of-function
  research to make bat viruses transmissable to humans.
  
  
• On May 23, there were new reports that three researchers from
  China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology became sick enough in November
  2019 that they sought hospital care, suggesting the virus began
  spreading as early as October 2019. The Chinese deny the report, but
  the Chinese Communists lie about everything, so nobody believes them
  anyway. The Chinese Communists are too stupid to understand the
  lesson from Aesop's Fables that if you're a liar, then no one believes
  you even when you might be telling the truth."
  
  
• On Tuesday of last week, the Chinese Communists that they would no
  longer cooperate with any further WHO additional
  investigations.

Biden had previously called for the previous WHO investigation to be
completed, as had been promised, but after the CCP announcement on
Tuesday that they wouldn't cooperate, Biden was compelled politically
to agree to an investigation.

****
**** Weaponizing biotech and 'gain of function' research
****

In August 2019, shortly before the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus,
Defense One magazine published a detailed analysis of decades of
China's plans for creating biological weapons for use by the military.
So it's possible, though unproven, that Covid-19 was developed by the
Chinese military as a bioweapon.

If you take a virus and turn it into a bioweapon, the type of research
is named "gain-of-function." The enhanced virus may be more lethal,
may spread more easily, or may target only certain kinds of entities.
For example, in 2000 Dutch researchers genetically engineered the
spike protein of a mouse coronavirus so that it would attack only
cats, but not rodents.

The nightmare scenario for the world is that Chinese scientists might
similarly engineer a virus that attacks all humans, excluding all
those with Chinese DNA.

Not surprisingly, gain-of-function research has become highly
controversial. As described by the recent article in Bulletin of the
Atomic Scientists, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) provides
grants funding projects at the Wuhan Virology Lab. When questioned
about these grants in congressional committees, Dr. Anthony Fauci
denied vehemently that these grants ever funded gain-of-research
funding at the Wuhan Lab.

However, publicly available documents show that the grants went to a
prime contractor, Peter Daszak, president of the EcoHealth Alliance of
New York, and that Daszak subcontracted to Bat Lady, Shi Zheng-li, the
gain-of-function researcher at Wuhan Virology Lab that we previously
described. Fauci insisted that there was no gain-of-function research
because the grant agreement specified that there would be no
gain-of-funding research. Under questioning, Fauci admitted that
there was no way to tell if the Chinese were lying.

The Chinese Communists are supported by many useful idiots in the
United States, but apparently Fauci is the stupidest useful idiot of
them all.

****
**** China becomes increasingly unstable and desperate
****

I've described China's Communist government as being desperate and
unstable in the past, and that's been true, but it's been getting much
worse. It's a worsening trend that the CCP is desperately striking
out in all directions, with a delusional geopolitical plan, 21 border
disputes, deteriorating BRI strategy, and facing people in hundreds of
countries that are pissed off that China protected themselves while
purposely inflicting the Wuhan Coronavirus on them, though are afraid
to take any action because of China's bribery and extortion playbook.

Americans can't grasp how China's government is becoming increasingly
unstable because the US Constitutional government is possibly the most
stable in world history, and we can't imagine it any other way. Every
serious decision we take is subject to checks and balances by three
branches of government, and is usually first debated in various
committees, agencies, and the courts.

Contrast that with China, where Xi Jinping has made himself a dictator
for life, which means that he could make a serious decision and there
would be no one there to stop him. That's what happened with Mao
Zedong's disastrous Great Leap Forward in 1958, which resulted in tens
of millions of unnecessary deaths, and destroyed China's economy for
decades, so much that it still hasn't recovered. Nothing like that
could ever happen in America.

Why did the Imperial Japanese choose November 7, 1941, to bomb Pearl
Harbor? They chose that date because they thought that the were
running out of time and they panicked. The US had placed an embargo
on the trade of all militarily useful items with Japan, and faced with
serious shortages, they believed that they had to move quickly, or
they would lose the opportunity.

We know that the Chinese are going to attack Taiwan. We know that
because they've said so repeatedly, and they've been open about making
military preparations for an attack. And now we've learned that their
preparations are reaching the stage of possibly bombing Australia,
because they believe that Australia's military would join with
America's military in defending Taiwan.

China's "Wolf Warrior" strategy of xenophobia, nationalism and
belligerance has been growing. I've tried to show a trend, how there
have been a series of such incidents, and how each incident has been
worse than the last one. Over the last 20 years, I've studied
thousands of wars, and this is how wars start.

The Chinese military or Xi Jinping may decide, for rational or
irrational reasons, that they've run out of time and that they have to
move quickly, or they would lose the opportunity. No one, not even
the Chinese themselves, can predict when they will panic and take that
step. All we can do is watch as the Chinese Communist government
becomes increasingly unstable and desperate.

****
**** Sidebar: Attacks on Asian-Pacific people in the United States
****

This is a separate subject, but this is a good place to include it.

The mainstream media have been pointing to an increase in hate
crimes on Asian Americans as proof that Republicans are white
supremacists, and that they've been stirred up by president Trump's
frequent reference to the "China Virus."

It takes a reporter from the NY Times or CNN to say something as
totally idiotic as that. These attacks have been going on since the
1800s, and incidentally they've been even worse in Australia. So they
long predate Trump.

However I came across a report, posted in January by the National
Institutes of Health, which used data from the Department of Justice
to "examine the nature and characteristics of hate crimes against
Asian Americans." The report compared hate crimes against Asian
Americans, African Americans, and Hispanics.

The most important finding of the report is that perpetrators of hate
crimes against Asians are most likely to be blacks, for economic
reasons. This is something that's been known anecdotally for a long
time, but the NIH report confirms it. It's also clear that the
writers of the NIH report don't want you to easily find this result,
probably for fear that if they expose the truth, they'll get fired or
canceled.

You have to go far into the report to find the results (search for
"Table 3" or "Findings of this study, however, also provide support to
the minority-specific model"), but the findings are clear:

• Hate crimes against Asians are overwhelmingly done by blacks.
  
  "Hate crimes against Asian Americans are more likely than hate crimes
  against either African Americans or Hispanics to be committed by
  non-White offenders."
  
  
• Blacks may be motivated by their resentment of the success of
  Asians.
  
  "This finding may be attributed to animosity toward the “model
  minority” from other minority groups. As aforementioned, the “model
  minority” stereotype assuming Asian Americans’ success in economics,
  education, and other opportunities generates potential competition or
  threats by members of other racial groups, which in turn may lead to
  resentment to be further acted upon through hate crimes."
  
  
• Blacks may be motivated by fears that they'll lose their special
  privileges and financial welfare and other benefits because Asians
  will get the same benefits during downturns.
  
  "Offenders of other minorities of color targeting Asian Americans
  might fit the category of “reactionists." ... Instead of acting
  impulsively, the “reactionists” are motivated by protecting their
  resources from competitors.... This finding might also lend indirect
  support to the perspective of racial competition motivating hate
  crimes, which argues that when members of a racial group perceive that
  their access and privileges to material resources are threatened by
  other racial groups during economic downturns, racial conflict and
  hate crimes may occur."

The article by conservative Michelle Malkin referenced below provides
multiple examples of hate crimes against Asians by blacks, probably
all Democrats.

Reading through the news stories of the Atlanta shooting in March of
Asians, you can almost see the frustration of the writers that they
can't find an angle to blame Republicans. By this time it's almost
certain that the Atlanta shooter was a Democrat, probably a supporter
of Black Lives Matter.

A personal note: All the signs are there that the Atlanta shooter was
obsessed with Asian women and went berserk. I find this quite
believable, since I've known two guys in the past who were obsessed
with Asian women -- to date them not to kill them. There's something
about Asian women that causes some men (not me) to obsess about them.
