I was watching cable news this morning and saw some interview with a WSJ reporter who wrote an article saying the US can contain China despite how the West is dependent on China. He says the West should do what they've already been doing for decades. Apparently he thinks the West hasn't been scrutinizing and pressuring China for all these years and the West shouldn't stop until China changes to the West's liking. Just like the West to take the old and make like it was new. They were talking on this show how Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Australia, Taiwan, the South China Sea... all happened without any provocation by the West. They were all provoked by the West because they always try to get others to do their dirty work. We all know the US is paying Hong Kongers to riot. The West is using Uighurs to get Islamic extremists to deflect from the US to China. Australia was doing Trump's dirty work. The US has always supported Taiwan to use against China. The Vietnamese were the first to build fake islands to stake territory. Yeah, none of that is provoked by the US... You know the West has had some backdoor strategy meetings when all start saying the same things as if everyone saw the same problems because the latest is China started these tensions out of the blue and China is on the path to self-destruction. And why do they say this is because they're playing mind-games and hoping China changes course and submits to Western demands. I thought they want China to self-destruct. Doesn't that take China out of the picture for them? That was another bluff. They want China to surrender to the West by being scary about the future. Like I said before... They can't allow a China that is independent and be successful because that might give other countries ideas. That's why they can never leave China alone.
I agree on most of thr points you made but disagree on one minor but important detail and that's with regards to the exact source or reasons for the souring of relations between China and the U.S. All the preceding things you mentioned happening like the H.K., Xinjiang, Taiwan, South China Sea issues all happened under the watch of Gen.Sec. Pres. Xi Jinping.

If you watch and listen to the Q&A after this academic's presentation you'll find and hear that one persistent theme of blame concocted by the American intelligence, anti-China academic, liberal goofs that all these tensions were caused by one man and that's Xi. When the unseen questioner who is purported to be working or crafted the latest raft of anti-China policies that's coming out from the Biden white house it sounded to me like they (American crazies) would want to regime change the current leadership of the CPC and in particular, Pres.Xi and which accordingly, it assumes all these issues would just simply go back to the way it was I suppose.

A right-wing Japanese politician who wanted to make a stunt by using an event organized by China's Consulate-General in Osaka that called for Japanese to visit China's Xinjiang region, humiliated himself by trying to play tough on China but failing after several rounds of "word battles" with Chinese envoy on Twitter.

Chinese consulate-general in Osaka published a notice on December 2 inviting Japanese people to visit China's Xinjiang region after the end of the COVID-19. The invitation attracted wide attention in Japanese media and so far, 806 Japanese people have applied for the trip.

This event poked the soft spot of anti-China forces in Japan as they fear their lies of smearing Xinjiang would be exposed. Therefore they spread misinformation saying the Chinese consulate-general is trying to win Japanese heart with money, it would be a "one-way" trip and people wouldn't be able to return to Japan, and those who go to China would be "monitored," with the purpose of distorting the event and discouraging Japanese from applying for it, according to a working staff from the Chinese consulate-general in Osaka.

Takashi Nagao, a former member of the Japanese House of Representatives, is one of these politicians smearing the event.

Nagao used to work in the Abe administration and has always advocated Japan's "right of collective self-defense" and Japanese prime ministers' visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, a place where convicted Japanese World War II criminals are enshrined.

On December 5, Nagao posted on his Twitter account on the event of the Chinese consulate-general, asking "whether I can return to Japan alive after attending the activity?"

China's Consul-General Xue Jian in Osaka responded on Twitter and said that Nagao could apply for the event but instead of worrying about whether he can return to Japan, he should worry about whether he can stand given the shock when seeing all the lies on China's Xinjiang being smashed after visiting Xinjiang.

Some Japanese netizens criticized Nagao for acting indiscreetly as a former member of the Japanese House of Representatives. But this did not stop the Japanese right-wing politicians from trying again.

On December 8, Nagao posted another tweet, offering "conditions" for his visit to the Xinjiang region, saying that the tour must be accompanied by a number of guides who are "Uygurs who were put into the concentration camp and escaped." But five minutes later, Nagao posted another tweet, saying his proposal is "a difficult task" and therefore he "would like to refrain from participating in the tour."

Consul-General Xue commented that Nagao offered conditions and then "refused" the visit, showing that he lacks common sense, courage and sincerity.

After several rounds of word battles, Nagao had been mocked by Japanese netizens for backing out with some netizens "encouraging" Nagao to apply for the visit. Some netizens also posted photos of Nagao visiting China years ago, in which his smiles were so big when meeting with Chinese leaders, and mocked that Nagao flip-flopped so dramatically.


On December 10, Xue took the initiative to ask Nagao on Twitter that whether making Uygurs as guides for the visit would make him come to visit Xinjiang.

Nagao then gave no clear response and claimed his security could not be ensured. In response, Xu tweeted that Nagao as a politician had no sincerity or courage and there is no point for saying more to such a person.

Many netizens have criticized the Japanese politician for humiliating himself when trying to play tough on China, and said he should also feel shameful upon returning to the political circle.

The consulate's notice calling on Japanese to visit Xinjiang highlighted Xinjiang's beautiful scenery, delicious food and beauty.

"Xinjiang is a good place. However, in recent years, slanders and lies about Xinjiang have emerged one after another, causing great misunderstanding and harming the image of Xinjiang and China," said the notice.

Therefore, in order for people to check out the real situation in Xinjiang by themselves, the consulate-general in Osaka is recruiting Japanese tourists to travel to Xinjiang next year, according to the notice.

nothing new there. the core message of the so-called "new long telegraph" is exactly like that.

the cold war didn't go anywhere till people like Gorbachev & Yeltsin came to power. were someone like Putin in charge, the Soviet Union could well be still around.
