100% not. Racism is not inherent, as we don't see small children display much racism until their parents and society influence them. People with Chinese chauvinism is no better than other chauvinists.
As Malcom X pointed out: "You can't have capitalism without racism". Class, in the last analysist, albeit not every single case, is the root of racism.
Take Russia, dozen of nationalities hated each other under Tsarist Russia, but united under the USSR, but broke apart again currently under capitalist Russia. Take Yugoslavia, three nationalities was united under socialism, but war broke out right after capitalist restoration.
It is not an accident, die-hard supporters of capitalism are often racist, openly or implicitly. While supporters of socialism generally are not. We can see that in the forum.
Nowadays I have to remind myself not to assume that the US government has equal capability, as compared to China's, to carry out what they stated or rolled out in their policies.
IMO if the joint statement today between S.Korea and US doesn't even mention China then thats a L for Uncle Biden
If Biden wants a W he should had oriented the Quad away from anti-China and more for business and for a regional forum. In that case S.Korea would join a Quad+ forum
The tone from Korea seems pretty complicated at the moment, see:
A bad omen for sure but not a 100% sign that S.Korea is turning away.
S.Korea is actually highly interested in the Quad so that it can have a seat on the table but Quad's obvious anti-China leanings doesn't allow S.Korea to join it
With what "face" would the S.Korean FM meet Chinese FM Wang Yi and explain to him that it is all business and no anti-China? Impossible
This sounds weird no matter how I read it.
First I beat you up, then when I stop, I expect you to be thankful and act in my interest.
Isn't this a Déjà vu of 2008?
