Washington DC:
Chinese President Xi Jinping has apparently decided that this is the right time to assert his dominance and territorial expansionism while world economies were in shock from a deadly pandemic, but instead of just reversing, an increasing number of nations fight back, reported the New York Post.
The rise in prices in New Delhi on Chinese products, restricting Chinese investment and banning TikTok and 58 other Chinese applications of Indian phones is one of the latest to demonstrate that India, for its part, is not clearly not intimidated by the growing falcon policy in China.
Not only that, but many Indians are also boycotting “Made in China” products, a task made easier because online retailers like Amazon have been commissioned by New Delhi to tell buyers where the products are made.
The respective developments on the Indian side came in response to China’s unprovoked attack on Indian border personnel in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on June 15, as a result of which the world‘s largest democracy had moved some 30,000 soldiers to the Himalayan border to counter any news of the Communist Party regime’s provocative actions, according to the New York Post.
Meanwhile, the people of the Philippines are rising up against China’s expansionism in the areas of the South China Sea claimed by Manila after a Filipino fishing boat sank in its own territorial waters by more Chinese vessels plus predators.
When anti-American President Rodrigo Duterte was elected in 2016, he first ignored popular sentiment and announced a “pivot to Beijing” on the promise of $ 24 billion in Chinese investment.
Four years later, all of that has changed. With the Chinese navy sailing closer and closer to the Philippine coast and with few Chinese projects underway, Duterte has canceled its earlier decision to end its country’s visitation force agreement with the United States. Given the choice between having American or Chinese warships anchored in Subic Bay, the decision was fairly obvious.
In addition to this, the world has witnessed how peaceful pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong were beaten by city riot police on orders from Beijing after the Asian giant passed the law. on national security, further restricting the privileged freedom of the semi-autonomous region, reported the New York Post.
The sight of the 7.3 million free people of Hong Kong crushed under the heels of the Chinese Communist Party regime is a vision the world will not soon forget. This has already prompted British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to offer British citizenship to three million Hong Kongers, not to mention taking a tougher stance on China itself. Huawei, for example, may embrace its 5G activities in the UK.
Now, the interesting twist in history comes after knowing that China has also drawn criticism in Australia, an island continent in the far south and also part of Asia-Pacific.
Australian farmers and miners face trade sanctions after Canberra, suggesting that the virus, which came from China, could have come from there.
In addition, to counter the recent increase in cyber attacks, Canberra has promised to recruit at least 500 cyber warriors, strengthening the nation’s online defenses. Meanwhile, an astonishing 94% of Australians say they want to start decoupling their economy from China.
The same story repeats itself all over the world. From Sweden to Japan to the Czech Republic, more and more nations are coming to understand China’s deadly threat to the post-war democratic and capitalist world order.
“Xi Jinping and the Communist Party he leads overestimated their hand so much that in just six months they have accomplished what Donald Trump could not do in almost four years: they have united the world against China. And Communist leader Xi only has to blame himself for the cheeky move, “the report said.
On Wednesday, the US Congress voted unanimously to sanction China for its new security law that would effectively annul Hong Kong’s legal system and put Beijing in charge.
“But America cannot fight China alone. And now, thanks to Xi’s aggressive policy, the United States will not have to fight the war alone,” the report said.
