The author's stance is pretty commendable, but he doesn't understand why the US and China acts the way they are right now. Its pretty easy to take the side of peace for both sides, but still be oblivious and shocked to why tensions and wars start.

Anyways, a pretty alright article amongst the pile of steaming anti-China trash articles.

Kevin Rudd speaks fluent Mandarin, so that automatically makes him better at analyzing Chinese sources than 98 percent of China Watchers.

"Stoltenberg: NATO will expand cooperation with partners in Asia-Pacific region due to China's refusal to condemn Russia's operation in Ukraine."
They always had that plan in mind for a long time, but Its not going to work. They tried creating an Asian NATO before and it failed, what makes them think slapping a NATO label on it is going to make it work for the second try?

Also why are they calling it Asia-Pacific? I thought they like calling it "Indo-Pacific" lol

Edit: Also majority of the countries in Asia-Pacific didn't condemn Russia's operation in Ukraine either, so what kind of excuse is that.

I have been burned multiple times now by western leaders/think tank experts that sound impressive but over time you just discover they are constantly wrong about their so called master subject.

Imaging me casually watching geopolitical stuff for over 4 years and discovering that those so called China watchers can't even write, read, speak or understand Chinese i had to pretty much forgot what they told me over the years and just fall back to watching trend lines and statistical graphs.
I used to follow the so called Panda Huggers before, of which Rudd was one of them. I thought they'd provide a more balanced view. I wasn't too concerned about their language skills as long as they provided reasonable views and arguments. Then over the past 4 or 5 years, they've gradually turned into China Hawks. Now I can barely stand listening to them.

I've turned more to the few sane voices left in Taiwanese media. It is of course "soft-censored," with those not towing the DPP line heavily attacked. But if you know where to look, you can find analyses that are quite objective. Unfortunately, you need to understand Chinese to watch these programs.

There is one program on youtube I know that is subtitled. You can use youtube's feature to translate the chinese subtitle into english. It won't be perfect, but you can probably get the gist of it. Here is an example, if you're interested:

I think he was implying they will help their existing buddies like japan, s korea, taiwan to further destabilize the region

Yeah, this is precisely why China will back Russia fully in Ukraine, whatever it takes.

If Europe cannot act in its own best interest and is instead determined to act as willing accomplice to American desires to contain and destroy China, then how can they expect China to pass up such a golden opportunity to eliminate Europe as a world power by helping it to nuke its own economies?

Is this Donald Lu another Chinese agent? He is doing some good work recently

Coup attempt by the US confirmed
"BREAKING: US diplomat Donald Lu admits before Congress he contacted Pakistani officials on PM Imran visit to Russia"

I hope not. Otherwise there will be another anti-Asian wave in the U.S. where defenseless grannies are victimized.
