Naah. I've seen enough posts from him to judge that he is arrogant. He always assuming that China is gonna just like that Jai Bharat Superpowah nation or Russia. He wants China to behave itself in this current "rules based international order". He doesn't like China challenging this order, even if it is legitimate. He assumes that the West is always gonna win if China starts to confront them. Pro hint, any nation that bends to Western pressure will automatically lose, and will lose more than they bargained for. Japan, France, Germany, Russia, Libya, Iraq, etc.He is not arrogant but unaware.
Panda bears may be cute and eat bamboo, but they are still a big bear with claws. But if you don't poke the panda you'll be fine. Poke the panda, fuck around and find out.New Cold War has already started. It is just the cost of decoupling from China is so great that the Western powers don't have the stomach to implement the full scale assaults.
Western powers have tried to portray China is the aggressor for years. Whatever China does or doesn't do won't change this narrative. People buying the Western propaganda would always support the West.
Just look at what happened in Taiwan strait and Philippines for the last few years. There is no accident that the US is trying to provoke and contain China just as it did to the Russia for the NATO eastward expansion.
China fights back, China being portrays as aggressor. China doesn't fight back, the US and its allies would escalate and commit salami slice tactics just as they did to Russia.
At the end of the day, most of the world fall under the US sphere of influence and many people can be easily manipulated. That's why even as the West has been the biggest aggressors for more than a few centuries, people still think positive of the West.
It is not to say China shouldn't engage and support the global south and address some of their concerns. However, China can't be expected to single-handedly fight the Western influence and win the heart and mind of the world when the rest of the world and many the local elites were too embedded with the West.
China isn't going to sacrifice its national interests to appease anyone or being see as a good guy. China might not want to be a superpower or have any interests in toppling any governments but for countries that decided to join the West to contain China then these countries should expect that China would retaliate and fight back. China isn't a hello kitty and people shouldn't expect China being one.
I havent studied situation that time but highly likely if China still partnered with USSR it would not have received Western support and ultimately both will have stagnated anyway,Had the USSR trusted China as an partner, it would have been able to sustain the Cold War with the West with far less strain on its economy.
— Representatives of the Taliban have been in Moscow since the beginning of the week. What are they doing here for so many days? Dating someone else? Maybe they even have a cultural program?
— The Afghan embassy should be largely responsible for the program of the Taliban’s stay in Moscow. I invited them to the Kazan meeting of the Moscow format. And all my meetings with them will take place in Kazan. We are also not involved in a cultural program for the Taliban. We are not in this area. And they will “walk” when life gets better in Afghanistan
