Motto no. 1: “China [domestically] is a socialist [Marxist] country…an alliance of workers and farmers…where the power of the state belongs to the people. China’s socialist democracy is the broadest, most genuine, and most effective democracy to safeguard the fundamental interests of the people.”  Strongman Xi Jinping at the 19^th CCP [Chinese Communist Party] Congress, 2017; emphasis added.

Motto no. 2: “Making irresponsible comments on the central leadership [Xi Jinping] and distorting key party policies by straying from the official line (妄議中央大政方針), are completely forbidden.”  Strongman Xi Jinping ruling on CCP discipline, 2016.

Motto no. 3: “China must build universities into strongholds that adhere to Party leadership [and engage in] ideological and political work.” Strongman Xi Jinping, 2016.

Motto no. 4:“China always pursues a foreign and national security policy that is defensive in nature. China’s development does not pose a threat to any other country. No matter what stage of development it reaches, China will never seek hegemony or engage in expansion.” Strongman Xi Jinping at the 19^th CCP Congress, 2017; emphasis added.

Motto no. 5: “We must not let the rules set by one [the United States] or a few [democratic] countries be imposed on others, or allow unilateralism pursued by certain countries to set the pace for the whole world. What we need in today’s world is justice, not hegemony. Big countries should behave in a manner befitting their status and with a greater sense of responsibility…..In state-to-state relations, the principles of equality, mutual respect and mutual trust must be put front and center. Bossing others around or meddling in others’ internal affairs would not get one any support. We must advocate peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, which are common values of humanity, and encourage exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations to promote the progress of human civilization…However strong it may grow, China will never seek hegemony, expansion, or a sphere of influence. Nor will China ever engage in an arms race.” Strongman Xi Jinping’s keynote speech at the annual Beijing propaganda Boao Forum for Asia – April 20, 2021; emphasis added.

Motto no. 6: “We are now facing a historic opportunity that happens only once in a thousand years… The [anti-democratic] international community [Russia, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Cuba, Venezuela, most of Africa, JK] increasingly thinks highly of us and wants to hear what China has to say and see what China wants to do…People are gravely disappointed in the Western ruling apparatus. Many leaders of developing countries… told me that they are doubtful about the political system of the West and expressed hope to learn about how China has developed itself.” Strongman Xi Jinping to the CCP Central Military Commission, 2016; italics added.

Motto no.7: “China is not the provocative side in disputes with Japan and the Philippines that have occurred in recent years. If Japan hadn’t nationalized the Diaoyu Islands, or if the Philippines naval vessels hadn’t dispersed Chinese fishermen around Huangyan Island, [the Philippines’ Scarborough Shoal] these crises wouldn’t have broken out. China is the biggest power in East Asia, and it’s also the main advocate of putting aside disputes and jointly developing disputed areas. As long as other countries don’t provoke the status quo, a peaceful relationship with China can be maintained. If China had really taken assertiveness in its strategy as a national policy, Asia wouldn’t be what it looks like today.   Global Times, January 30^th, 2013; emphasis added.

Motto no. 8: “[I] n recent years, some countries have been provoking China with tactics such as the rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region by the Obama administration, the nationalization of the Diaoyu Islands by the Japanese government, and the South China Sea arbitration filed by the Philippine government under Benigno Aquino III. China’s “assertive” actions are merely countermeasures taken to buffer those moves against China’s interests.” Global Times, August 2017; emphasis added.

Motto no. 9: “There is a vast gap between the words and deeds of China. We have always shown our heart-felt goodwill and exercised the utmost restraint, but China’s response has grown increasingly threatening. We always wish for peace and friendship, but those things must be based on independence, self-reliance, sovereignty and territorial integrity. We will never trade these sacred things for a certain false and dependent peace and friendship [with China]. ” Nguyen Van Dung , Prime Minister of  Vietnam  at the World Economic Forum in Manila, May 23^rd, 2014.

Motto no. 10: “This is a very serious turn of events…It certainly has increased a [sic] level of concern and a [sic] level of great anxiety among all parties, particularly parties that would need the access, the passage and the freedom to go through.” Surin Pitsuwan, Secretary-General of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), in reaction to China’s arbitrary interference with international shipping in the South China Sea most of which it arbitrarily declared “Chinese territory.” November 2012. (Xi Jinping expanded the aggression and in 2016 rejected the International Court in The Hague’s ruling recognizing Philippines territorial waters in the South China Sea   which Beijing grabbed – see below).

Motto no. 11: “Japan has been steadfast in demonstrating its solidarity with the Philippines as we advocate freedom of navigation and the rule of law in the face of China’s unlawful territorial claim. For Japan’s support for our peaceful, lawful, and principled approach…we thank you.” President Benigno Aquino of the Republic of the Philippines, 2015; emphasis added.

Motto no.12: “The threat of [Chinese] hegemony…is at the core of the sharpening geopolitical competition…in Asia.” Indian strategic analyst, Brahma Chellaney, 2013; emphasis added.

Motto no. 15:“ [In addition to Jihadism] Russia currently poses the biggest state-based threat to Britain, but China will become more dangerous in the future.. Russia is delivering bursts of bad weather, while Beijing is changing the climate…the biggest long-term challenge is…China.” Ken McCalum head of Britain’s MI5; December 2020; emphasis added.

Motto no. 16: “They [the Chinese] are continuing with their salami slicing, reef by reef, step by step… In reality they want to change … the South China Sea into a Chinese lake.” Professor Tran Truong Thuy, Vietnam Institute for East Sea Studies, 2014; emphasis added.

Motto no. 17: “China follows a familiar salami-slicing playbook in territorial disputes: change ground positions stealthily, move forward assertively, express outrage when discovered, denounce provocations and intrusions by the other party, threaten exemplary retaliation, step back in “good faith,” propose fresh border management procedures, ensure its territorial creep becomes a de facto reality, and repeat as required.” Indian analyst Ramesh Thakur on China-India border dispute, 2020; emphasis added.

Motto no. 18: “You [Xi Jinping] have created an inscrutable, non-transparent China. Before Corona, China was known as a surveillance state. Now, China is known as a surveillance state that infected the world with a deadly disease. That is your political legacy…You plan to strengthen China through a plague that you exported. You will not succeed. Corona will be your political end, sooner or later.” Julian Reichelt ,editor of  Bild-German weekly magazine in open letter to Xi Jinping titled “You are endangering the world.” April 20, 2020; emphasis added.

Motto no. 19: “I’m not afraid of nuclear war. There are 2.7 billion people in the world; it doesn’t matter if some are killed. China has a population of 600 million; even if half of them are killed, there are still 300 million people left. I’m not afraid of anyone.” Mao Zedong at 40^th anniversary celebrations of the Bolshevik coup in Russia, November 1957, Moscow; emphasis added.

Motto no. 20: “Ever since the [1949] Chinese [communist] Revolution we had to think of what the new China was likely to be…We realized …from history that a strong China is normally an expansionist China . Throughout history that has been the case …All revolutions tend to function abnormally…Now, China is very, very far from normality and that is our and the world’s misfortune. Considerable strength coupled with an abnormal state of mind is a dangerous thing…I doubt if there is any country in the world which cares less for peace than China today.” Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru speaking in Partiament,1959; emphasis added.

Motto no. 21 : “We have been stabbed in the back [by China] … (after)…living in a fool’s paradise of our own making (pretending that Tibet’s 1950 capture by China never happened, JK)”

Jawaharlal Nehru speaking in the Indian Parliament after the Chinese aggression in the Hymalayas, 1962

Motto no. 22: “The more vigorously and courageously injustice and force are attacked at their first appearance,the less often will it be necessary to take the field against them in battle…The more sensitive is every part to the injuring of the whole, the less frequent will wars become.” A History of the Balance of Power in Europe by Friedrich Gentz [1805] quoted in J.W. Wheeler-Bennett in Munich: Prologue to Tragedy [London: The Viking Press,1963];  emphasis added.

Motto no. 23: “This policy (of using corrupting means to gain political and economic influence in democratic nations, JK) encourages overseas Chinese who are acceptable to the PRC government to become involved in politics in their host countries as candidates who, if elected, will be able to act to promote China’s interests abroad. It also encourages China’s allies to build relations with non-Chinese pro-CCP government foreign political figures, to offer donations to foreign political parties and to mobilize public opinion via Chinese language social media so as to promote the PRC’s political and economic agenda abroad.” Ann- Marie Brady, Australian China specialist; emphasis added.

In July 2021, the CCP celebrated its centennial. Founded by intellectuals Chen Duxiu and Li Dazhao, and since 1943 led by Mao Zedong, it took over China in 1949 after defeating the Nationalist Party [KMT] of Chiang Kai-shek [Jiang Jieshi] in a brutal civil war that lasted intermittently for 22 years and cost (as all other internal Chinese upheavals) millions of lives.

The PRC [People’s Republic of China] was established as a dictatorial, murderous communist system by Mao Zedong who died in 1976. In the first four years of his rule, the Great Helmsman ordered the liquidation of over two million private, thus politically undesirable, land- owners as prelude to the failed collectivization of agriculture. The mad autarkic experiment of multilateral collectivized development known as the Great Leap Forward (GLF, 1958-61) and the protracted (1964-76) and deliberate criminal chaos of the “cultural revolution” (aimed only at allowing Mao to stay in power even after the devastating GLF by destroying the CCP!!!) added at least another 50 million victims to the gruesome tally.

The evolution of the Beijing Regime after 1976 has followed a path like no other in history. A process of political and socio- economic change falsely called “socialism with Chinese characteristics” (in truth a CCP-dominated State-capitalist system) launched by Deng Xiaoping in 1978 and completed by Xi Jinping ( who added “in the new era” to the Regime’s defining slogan and anointed himself Strongman-for-Life) in March 2018 resulted in a case of what I call Dire History Repeated : China, while officially still “communist, ” in reality, both domestically and in its foreign policy is a Neo-Fascist (or considering its foundational millenary socio- political ideology – Confucian-Fascist) entity fully reminiscent of European Fascism until 1945. This is a purely descriptive designation; as the table and picture below indicate, the only major difference between Communism and Fascism is that the latter allows private property/businesses to exist, which, however, are at the mercy of the One-Party State and ultimately, the Never-Elected-Strongman- in China since late 2012, Xi Jinping.

The ideological identity between Benito Mussolini:”All within the [One Party] State, nothing outside the [One Party] State, nothing against the [One Party] State,” and Xi Jinping: “The country, the military, society , schools, north , south, east and west, all belong to the [One] Party [State]” is crystal clear. The statement to the People’s (in fact the CCP’s) Armed Police (right picture below) unequivocally casts Xi as a Neo-Fascist strongman. Falsely portraying postwar Japan as fascist (left picture) is part of Beijing’s routine anti-Japanese racist propaganda.

Almost a decade after Japan’s Abe Shinzō administration, in the metaphorical role of the canary in the mineshaft alerted the world to the mounting aggressiveness of the Beijing Regime – the world’s democracies – the Quad(Japan, the US, Australia and India) NATO(sans Turkey) /G-7 and all nations determined to defend their survival are feverishly attempting to pool their resources to stave off Beijing imperialism. Those nations should be even more committed to their struggle to escape Xi Jinping’s clutches after considering his July 1, 2021 speech at the CCP centennial bash that included this Pearl of Truth:

The Chinese people have never bullied, oppressed or subjugated the people of any other country and we never will.!!!!!

The images above – of recent demonstrations against Chinese imperialism in Makati City in the Philippines (left) and in Vietnam’s Ho Chi-min City – among many others, speak for themselves and present the real, truthful and highly disturbing picture. In addition to the Philippines and Vietnam, the peoples of India and Europe are also increasingly concerned with Xi Jinping’s aggressive imperialism and expansionism (mottos no. 9-17 & 20,21).

Much worse, of course, is the situation of Tibetans, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Inner Mongolians,etc.- whose ancestral lands that China has grabbed since 1949 make up 40% of its territory. China- contemporary history’s second most successful imperialist and colonial power- has used  military conquest followed by linguistic, educational and socio-cultural assimilationist policies for the Sinification of all non-Chinese. The most successful imperialist and colonial power following the same pattern (leading to Russification) is China’s (temporary) ally, Russia.

The hypocritical and thuggish quality of Strongman Xi’s speech at the Tiananmen Square celebratory hullabaloo is unmistakable: “The Chinese people will never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress or enslave us. Anyone who dares will have their heads cracked and their blood will flow before the steel Great Wall built with the flesh and blood of 1.4 billion Chinese people…Only socialism can save China and only socialism with Chinese characteristics can develop China.”  The excerpt is a monumental example of egregious moral inversion: the World’s Chief Bully speaking in the name of the also bullied and Never Consulted 1.4 billion Chinese, threatens imaginary foreign bullies with bloody annihilation; the (political and/or physical) Enslaver of Chinese, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Kazakhs and Inner Mongolians pledges to continue monopolizing enslavement. Berlin’s National Socialism of yore is Beijing’s 21^st century “[National]Socialism with Chinese characteristics in the New Era.”

Indeed, in the 2020s there is strong interest in Regime universities (especially Tsinghua University – the alma mater of Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping) in the Fűhrerprinzip (the Supreme Leader principle) ideology of German philosopher and Nazi Party luminary Karl Schmidt. Fascism and Marxism have always used antisemitism as ideological and political tool. Beijing is adopting the worst conspiratorial antisemitic tropes-used by Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and the Soviet Union, its role models – in rampant anti-American propaganda. In May 2021,the official CGTN [China Global Television Network] commentator Zheng Junfeng blamed the rift between Washington and Beijing on “Jews dominating the financial, media and Internet industries in the US.” Furthermore, Zheng described Israel as an “American bridgehead” undermining Arab aspirations. The same month, Beijing’s embassy in Tokyo tweeted an antisemitic cartoon showing the Grim Reaper wrapped in the American flag, carrying a scythe with the Star of David and causing bloodshed in Muslim nations (represented by doors) from Afghanistan to Egypt. The caption below (in Japanese) read: ”This is what happens when America brings democracy.”

In July, Xinhua– the CCP/Regime (propaganda) news agency carried a cartoon (below) in the best tradition of Vőlkischer Beobachter & Pravda (in 1946 Stalin falsely accused Jewish doctors of plotting to murder him). It has American Secretary of State Antony Blinken (who is Jewish thus drawn with traditional antisemitic devilish horns and a long “Jewish” nose) plotting to get WHO [World Health Organization] boss (and Xi Jinping-man) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus to undertake a new investigation into the origin of the New Corona [Wuhan] virus.

Therefore, in addition to rabid anti-Westernism and anti-Americanism, antisemitism, anti-Zionism (political antisemitism) and anti-Israelism (of the  kind I call CSA – Conspiracy Scapegoating Antisemitism- the Blinken cartoon) may become the ideological glue of Beijing and its totalitarian allies. Moscow gave the world the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Jihadi Islamabad, Ankara and Tehran are Beijing’s most reliable sources of Muslim anti-Israelism and antisemitism. With its full adoption of antisemitism as propaganda tool, Xi Jinping’s regime now possesses all the characteristics of a Fascist ,or accounting for its one and only original political tradition – a  Confucian-Fascist regime.

Strongman Deng Xiaoping transformed China’s economy from (centrally-planned and totally inefficient) communist to State-capitalist which, in a process launched in 1992, came to generate unprecedented material prosperity through foreign investment, purchased, forcibly transferred and especially stolen foreign technology (the latter I call heft through theft -to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars every year, especially from the United States),and ruthless exploitation of cheap Chinese labour by local and foreign businesses. The credit the Beijing Regime claims for the significant (though highly uneven) improvement in  the living standards of hundreds of millions of Mainland Chinese in the past four decades resulted from a devilish bargain in which,  in exchange for their bellies being fuller than even before  (thanks only to the capitalist mode of production),all political, socio-economic, educational and cultural (including history) realms – are in the perpetual stranglehold of the one and only  totalitarian, draconian, violent, highly corrupt, inhumane CCP. This is particularly so since late 2012 when Xi Jinping took over.

In August 2021, following the annual (always closed-door) gathering of CCP heavyweights at the Beidaihe sea resort (outside of Beijing) a propaganda campaign ensued to fabricate an environment of “groundswell” support for extending Xi’s rule indefinitely after 2022 (for which he gave himself “constitutional” approval in March 2018). As part of this self-serving political offensive the Capo di Tutti Capi attacked CCP bosses of Zhejiang province – actually his political base- a bastion of private (as opposed to State-owned) enterprise (Ali Baba etc.) and called for [national]-socialism – cleverly expressed in the Leftist populist (Xi-centred) slogan of common prosperity.

In 2018, Xi Jinping and the global Left (including the EU leadership!!!) celebrated the 200^th birthday of communist guru Karl Marx – the Trier (Germany)-born, awful son, failed father and husband, financially incompetent thus envious individual, but deadly pedlar of invidious class warfare and racist, genocidal antisemite (see his “On the Jewish Question”) to boot. However, when considering Xi Beijing [Xi’s Beijing regime] the fact that there are billionaires – “Pony” Ma Yun , the founder of Tencent and countless others like him– as CCP members all completely dependent for their economic wellbeing and even physical survival on Strongman Xi’s whims clearly reinforce, as shown above , the idea of the monumentally fraudulent  nature of the CCP: “Communist” in name,(picture below) Corporatist, Neo-Fascist (Confucian-Fascist) in reality

Therefore, Beijing’s donation of a bust of Marx to the city of Trier (picture below) is but a clever propaganda stunt designed to bolster the CCP’s (fake Marxist) political credentials domestically as well as with international Radical Leftist, anti-democratic groups under its domination.

The February 2020 statement by Shii Kazuo – the leader of the Japan Communist Party- harshly critical of the CCP as exuding “great-power chauvinism, hegemonism and violations of human rights [which] have nothing to do with ‘socialism’ and are not worthy of the term ‘communism,’” speaks for itself. However, Shii offered no alternative name for the Regime. In English, logical options reflecting its draconian domestic policies and aggressive imperialist international behaviour would be for CCP to stand for the Chinese Chauvinist Party or considering the unimaginable brutality of its strongmen since 1949 (see below), the Chinese Criminal Party.

Marxism is ideologically utopian- especially its fraudulent promise of a “classless society” once communism is achieved through “scientific,” “inevitable” transition from capitalism through socialism. Lenin – the clever and ruthless realist- gave Marxism an overtly insurrectional nature through the idea of the “accelerated” achievement of a communist society through a violent revolution led by a small hardcore party of ruthless activists and their Leftist intellectual and academic supporters (“useful idiots” in Leninist parlance). The fact is usually ignored that historically, workers’ rights -beginning with unionization and the right to strike – were first granted (after struggle) by conservative Bismarckian Germany. Those “sacred” rights are lost or completely adulterated under any Marxist regime- from the Soviet Union through North Korea and Cuba,to China.

The false nature of Xi Jinping’s statement on the benign domestic nature of the regime (motto no. 1) is glaring when considering the awful reality on the ground since 1949. In democratic nations (such as Japan) Marxism’s appeal has been limited in the postwar era by its ideological commitment to class warfare and militant anti-capitalism and especially its ghastly past record in Russia and China. When in power, Marxism is the most unequal socio-economic system since Communist Party members – always a small, privileged minority -enjoy profligate political and socio-economic advantages accruing from their political affiliation, at the expense of the overwhelming majority of the politically unconnected. History unequivocally teaches that a Marxist regime is always a crime (of various magnitudes) against humanity – a stark, incontrovertible reality evident when simply considering all leading communist rulers over the past century as shown in the pictures below: from Stalin and Mao, through Cuba’s Castro, Cambodia’s Pol Pot, Ethiopia’s Mengistu Haile Mariam, Romania’s Nicolae Ceauşescu, North Korea’s Kim Il-song and Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez. Among them (and excluding WW II and the Chinese Civil War) this international Voldemort (after Lord Voldemort- the evil character in the Harry Potter series) gallery of Marxist rulers caused the deaths of at least 100 million innocent people!

Therefore, it is downright disheartening that 77 years after the end of World War II, and 33 years since the collapse of communism in Russia and Eastern  Europe, the peace, stability, prosperity and even the basic physical survival of the peoples of the world, to a significant extent depend on the bullying Xi Jinping Regime – a politically anti-democratic and dictatorial, ruthlessly hegemonic, economically semi-mercantilist, territorially expansionist, militarily aggressive, culturally ultra-nationalistic, supremacist and racist and  overall  imperialist and colonial system (millions of Han-Chinese settlers having been dispatched to occupied Tibet and Xinjiang, as well as Africa as shown below).

This most disturbing reality has emerged only because the world’s democracies, as they did eight decades ago, have again (until most recently) ignored one of the most fundamental lessons of history: that they must not tolerate or compromise with, but rather rally together and resolutely oppose any political system engaged in aggressive bullying and expansionism (China in this case- motto no. 22).

It is indeed astounding that the democracies – in a display of  monumental disrespect for their most cherished principles, and in obscene pursuit of financial profit, (reminiscent of Lenin’s brutal quip that capitalists will sell even the rope with which communists will hang them) mixed with  the vain hope that capitalist prosperity would make  21^st century China a somewhat more benign version of its aggressive millenary imperialist past (mottos no.12,14, 15,18) have extended recognition and respect to a regime whose founder is the worst murderer (of his own people and, through followers like Pol Pot, of Cambodians and others) in modern history. The CCP – for its own selfish political interests and physical survival- resolutely prevents the national reckoning with Mao’s unimaginable crimes (even by communist and traditional Chinese standards) mention of which to this day is harshly punished in the “People’s Republic.” Rather, Mao is Xi Jinping’s “role model,” and his effigy dominates the heart (Tiananmen Square) of the imperial capital and is splattered on banknotes.

In 2015, on the 26^th anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, the Tiananmen Mothers’ group in New York, demanded that Beijing confess to and allow free discussion of the crimes of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping if Xi Jinping’s premier Li Keqiang was sincere in his statement that “the leaders of a state not only inherit their predecessors’ successes but also bear historical responsibility for their predecessors’ crimes.” Xi Beijing is going in the opposite direction.

The third decade of the 21^st century started with the still unfolding global catastrophe of the New Coronavirus pandemic, which originated in the unsanitary Huanan animal (“wet”) market or in a biological warfare lab in Wuhan. Xi Jinping, in relentless pursuit of his Neo-Fascist agenda of perpetual monopolization of political power domestically and in accelerating his imperialist drive internationally, first denied, then deliberately delayed alerting his people and the world to the impending catastrophe- all in an unconscionable move aimed at cornering the world basic medical supply market for political and financial gain!!! Specifically, the dictator ordered a grotesque international propaganda blitz combining fake generosity – in the form of donating (frequently defective) medical equipment to some nations – and gouging others –while arrogantly touting the Regime’s supposed “superiority” over the United States and the democracies, in dealing with the deadly pandemic he had unleashed on China and the world. Beijing’s ever-growing battery of egregious exculpating lies (circulated with Russian, Pakistani, South African and Iranian assistance) includes the idea that the plague reached Wuhan through imported frozen fish, via the port of Qingdao; that it was brought into China by members of the US team to the World Military Games in Wuhan in October 2019 and that the virus originated in other countries.

The campaign has generally backfired- Xi’s monumental ignorance, crass inhumanity, racist arrogance, cultural chauvinism and plain evil nature were quickly grasped by most foreign “barbarians,” [蛮夷- Mányí- especially those in the democratic West].

The book of Norwegian author Stein Ringen describing Xi Beijing as a controlocracy (cartoon above) and the scathing editorial by German journalist Julian Reichelt (motto no.18) aimed at Xi Jinping (for the Regime’s early – and later better hidden- incompetence in dealing with the pandemic, then for its criminal penchant for secrecy so as to protect the Despot’s contrived image of infallibility) were blocked from reaching China. Inside China, female journalist and blogger Zhang Zhan who tracked and publicized countless Regime failures and lies in dealing with the Wuhan virus was incarcerated for four years for “spreading lies.” Worst yet, CCP princeling (hailing from one of 400 families with exclusive, Confucian-style CCP connections like the Xi clan) and Beijing real-estate mogul Ren Zhiqiang – a courageous critic of Strongman Xi -whom he called a “naked clown,” for his pandemic mismanagement was sentenced to 18 years in prison. Even internet billionaire and international business celebrity “Jack” Ma Yun was disappeared for a number of weeks by the Regime for statements perceived as critical of Xi Beijing. These are but few of countless examples of Xi’s “[national] socialist democracy” at work (mottos no.1,2,3)

Former president Benigno Aquino of the Philippines during a visit to Japan in 2015 referred to China’s relentless aggression in his nation’s territorial waters [West Philippine Sea] of the South China Sea as the Asian version of Nazi German imperialist expansionism. Indeed, the Beijing Regime’s global imperialist Heshin Ri’i [Core Area (expansionism “with [Han] Chinese characteristics for the new era”)] – foreign policy is the perfect 21^st century version of Germany’s Lebensraum [Living Space] of eight decades ago; it is the most dangerous threat to the peace, prosperity and even physical survival of Indo-Pacific nations and the world. (mottos no.9;10,12,14,15,16)

Unlike the benign- sounding though absolutely  false statements above (mottos no.4,5,6) bolstered by fraudulent victimist statements of his propaganda organs,particularly the malodorous Global Times (mottos no. 7, 8) Xi Jinping’s clear goal is no less than world rule, (motto no. 6) using a variety of instruments: development and trade (through  the BRI – the Belt and Road Initiative, (motto no. 13) designed to lure nations everywhere into Beijing’s imperialist orbit through debt trap tactics – developing nations taking loans from Beijing and when unable to pay them back being forced to give China territorial, political and economic privileges; military and political pressure- including cyberespionage, traditional espionage and ruthless propaganda  using selective or fake history originating in China or undertaken by appeasers and some naturalized citizens of the US, Australia, New Zealand and Canada. (motto no. 23)

The South China Morning Post’s Huang Zheping has documented thoroughly the ghastly phenomenon of Xi Jinping’s propaganda war against the West and, in a sense, against his people. It is only natural for Xi Beijing, the world’s most ruthless surveillance regime which penetrated democracies at all levels through sprawling espionage and appeasers’ networks (below) to be using freedom of expression for blatant anti-American propaganda videos in New York’s Times Square.Lei Xiying a Chinese PhD student at the Australian National University in Canberra produced and circulated in Australia and beyond an anti-American video titled “The dark shadow of the Stars and Stripes.”

Domestically, the Regime has increased exponentially anti-Western propaganda through an endless national campaign of anti-foreign hysteria. The younger generation are being targeted by the Communist Youth League (the equivalent of the Hitlerjugend and the Komsomol) which uses the Weibo social media platform and even CCP-sponsored rap groups like CD REV!!! In 2015 Xi Jinping launched National Security Education Day (April 15) which among other means “mobilizes” Western pop culture icons from Mr. Bean to Batman to drive home the Despot’s message of treating foreigners with suspicion. The campaign has included the incarceration of human rights lawyers falsely accused of being foreign spies and brainwashed into confessing to trumped up charges. Beijing pays US$72000 to any Chinese subject apprehending a foreign spy!

A particularly dangerous element in Beijing’s pernicious imperialist tao is to state that politics and economics/trade should not be linked while in fact using economic and trade pressures for political gain on a grand scale. The victim nations’ reluctance to jeopardize economic or trade “benefits” they think they obtain from exchanges with Beijing in many cases prevents them from reacting firmly to Xi Jinping aggression. Beijing has victimized a slew of countries which had carelessly expanded economic ties with the Regime exposing themselves to its ruthless blackmailing – from Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Australia and Canada, to France, Norway, Montenegro, Czechia.

Overall, China’s He Shin Ri’i [Critical Areas expansionism] /Lebensraum [Nazi Germany’s Living Space expansionism] campaign extends from the East China Sea in northeast Asia through the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas in the south/southwest- an enormous area I call the Arc of Chinese Imperialist Aggression [ACIA]. Xi Jinping’s ultimate aim is to turn all nations into Beijing satrapies – like North Korea, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, most African states and potentially, even Greece. Regime English-language media have coined the adulatory term Xiplomacy for the Despot’s foreign policy. A recent xiplomatic success touted joint Sino-Cuban path to “socialism.” Can Chinese missiles be far behind?

In its immediate vicinity, Beijing uses military, economic and political means at one and the same time, in the East China Sea – against Japan (whose Senkaku islets it calls Diaoyũtai and wants to grab) – as well as in the sprawling South China Sea where its targets are territories and resources stolen from Taiwan, the Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia. Beijing justifies its rapaciousness through the so-called Nine Dash or Cow Tongue, Line– a unilateral imperialist fabrication in contravention of international law using fake history as expansion crutch. Xi rejected outright the 2016 verdict of the International Court in The Hague which ruled in favour of the Philippines which contested the legality of the Chinese  claim, covering  92% of the area! (map)

In the South China Sea, Beijing combines territory and resource theft with aggressive disruption of international navigation through unilateral and illegal regulations and by turning sandy shoals into militarized artificial islands in the Spratly and Paracel archipelagos (full-size airport on Woody Island, below).

High in the Himalayas – in the Dok-Lam area China is re-enacting the Maoist aggression of 1962, this time using the gradual, “salami-style” tactic. (motto no. 17)

Since 2020, Xi has frequently and publicly (most recently at the March 2021 session of his “parliament”) ordered his military to be ready to fight and win his future (imperialist) wars. In early November 2020 he gave his coast guard in the East China Sea and South China Sea perimeters, permission to use weapons against any ships not complying with Beijing’s unilateral, illegal navigation rules in those areas. This particular provocation has the direst potential consequences. As a determined practitioner of Confucian-Fascist imperialism, the possibility should not be ignored of Xi Jinping actually implementing Mao’s brutally cavalier remarks in 1957 regarding nuclear war (motto no.19); unlike Mao, Xi has sprawling nuclear weapon capacity, and his inhumanity matches that of his murderous hero.

In the 2020s, China is the core of an enormous, territorially contiguous and rapidly coalescing politically, de-facto BIMPAT [Beijing/Islamabad/Moscow/Pyongyang/Ankara/Tehran] totalitarian, aggressively anti-democratic, Axis which, when fellow anti-democratic African, Asian and Latin American nations are added, becomes what I call BIMPAT Plus. The fact that three Axis members which although major Muslim (Islamist) states – Iran – Turkey (formally still a NATO member!) and Pakistan a firm Beijing bailiwick – are silent regarding China’s appalling treatment of its Uygur and Kazakh Muslim minorities is resounding evidence of their ghastly hypocrisy and monumental anti-Western racism and antisemitism – an issue on which the EU’s approach in particular amounts to inexcusable appeasement of evil. In addition, Beijing (with Moscow as junior partner) dominates the SCO [Shanghai Cooperation Organization]– a rapidly growing anti-Western political and military framework focused on Central Asia as well as the BRICS [Brazil/Russia/India/China/South Africa] grouping of regional powers whose viability is still in doubt. India’s membership in the BRICS and the SCO is most regrettable and justifies its reputation as a duplicitous power some call “the France of Asia.” Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with today’s Beijing in any context amounts to nothing less than India “unlearning” the devastating lesson in ruthless violent realpolitik Mao administered it 61 years ago. (mottos no. 20,21)

Xi’s relentless, multilateral and concomitant aggression -using any and all means- against most of China’s neighbours plus Australia, the US and the EU- at first sight may seem as mindless serial provocations. However, Evil is never stupid. The Beijing Despot’s offensive moves stem from (hopefully misplaced) confidence that his BIMPAT Plus camp is politically and militarily stronger as well as more determined than the democracies and their supporting nations (Vietnam, Indonesia etc.). Simply put, Xi engages in Hitlerian brinkmanship because, like his European predecessor until 1939, he too, believes he can do it with impunity – until proven wrong- which is yet to happen. The paragraphs above point to a situation with unimaginably destructive potential to humanity should it reach a stage where only military means can stem Beijing’s Heshin-Ri’i global imperialism.

Appeasement reminiscent of that of some of the democracies’ politicians, intellectuals and academics vis-à-vis Europe’s Fascist powers 90 years ago is in full view in the 21^st century with China the Appeased Power. A leading Beijing appeaser is Chinese-speaking Kevin Rudd, Australia’s Leftist former premier, now head of the ASPI [Asia Society Policy Institute] in New York. Rudd’s China-accommodating activism knows no boundaries; beyond politics and foreign policy issues it includes (seemingly) trivial gestures like leading a Chinese Dream -Xi Jinping’s nationalistic imperialist slogan- singalong in Singapore or the kowtow-light (in Chinese civilizational symbolism) gesture of stooping to lace up the shoes of a Chinese female student (picture)

Rudd’s pro-Beijing ilk includes former German Socialist chancellor and vulgar America-hater Gerhard Schroeder, Kishore Mahbubani – Rudd’s close ideological pal and Singaporean former diplomat turned shrill “Beijing-man”/Asian nationalist academic , Nobel Prize winner Leftist American economist Joseph Stiglitz and his Columbia College colleague Jeffrey Sachs, breathlessly enthusiastic Beijing admirer and Thompson Rivers University (British Columbia) lecturer Cyrus Janssen as well as the monumentally ignorant Alexandre Trudeau – the (China appeasing) Canadian PM’s brother:

The freedom we have in Canada is built on this tremendous elbow room built on the backs of a conquered continent. The Chinese had no outlet , couldn’t move north or south east or west to find new great territories. It became the very codified , collectivist society that they still are today.” The Ottawa Citizen, 2016.

The Canadian counterpart of Australian Senator and unswerving China-appeaser/supporter (and as such forced to retire) Sam Dastiary is Independent Senator Yuen Pau Wu. The former head of the Government of Canada’s Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada [APFC] advisory institute inaugurated his legislative career with a memorable piece titled “Now that Harper is gone can we have a sensible talk about China? on the online iPolitics site. The essay was published in late October 2015 after the China-careful administration of the Conservative Party of Canada of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was replaced by the China-cheerleading Liberal Party of Justin Trudeau. Here are the core ideas (the Five China Commandments) of Wu’s piece which I have retitled The Beijing on the Rideau Manifesto:

We want China to succeed…We support China’s desire for a bigger voice in global and regional governance…Canada welcomes Chinese investment…Canada is committed to helping its citizens become more knowledgeable about China and China’s place in the world…We are doing all of the above in our national self-interest. Emphasis added

Wu jumped immediately on the Beijing-serving bandwagon of fake linkage between legitimate criticism of Xi Beijing aggressive imperialism with the absolutely unacceptable anti-[East] Asian racist incidents in a commentary (“Anti-China sentiment is becoming anti-Chinese prejudice in Canada”, June 2021) in Canada’s Globe and Mail he co-authored with fellow Beijing-appeaser Paul Evans.

In fairness to Evans & Wu it should be mentioned that the self-righteous, lifelong Beijing-appeasing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau already in May 2021 unscrupulously accused Opposition Conservative MPs of fomenting anti-Chinese sentiment for “daring” to criticize and ask questions about the Government’s policy toward Xi Beijing. One year earlier, Trudeau in his relentless chase for votes “confessed” and apologized for Canada’s supposed Systemic Racism. All it takes to firmly prove Trudeau’s statement as ruthlessly self-serving and mendacious is to consider the make-up of his cabinet where BIPOCs (especially Sikhs) constitute 19% while they make up 5% of the population. Canada – like all other postwar democracies is not racist although, like all other nations, does have pockets of racism which governments and society at large are trying to combat. Had democratic societies been as racist as Leftists, BIPOC racists and their feminist allies purport them to be, millions of Africans, Asians, Latin-Americans etc. would not put their lives in danger to reach them. They would instead go to the 56 Muslim or 49 African states, or…China. For an immigrant society like Canada the ONLY policy conducive to socio-economic and political stability is one of unfettered equality of access and opportunity to all, NOT one based on tribalism and ethnic or skin-colour quotas.

The highly volatile and potentially explosive environment caused only by Xi’s reckless aggression around Japan’s Senkaku islets (which China started claiming in 1972, after oil and gas resources were discovered in the area) and even more perilously throughout the enormous South China Sea, increase dramatically the urgency of much expanded political, security, military and economic cooperation among nations affected by Beijing’s Indo-Pacific hegemonism. For Canada, Japan and other Indo-Pacific democracies and all nations keen on preserving their independence, the 2020s are a particularly propitious time for meaningful elevation of their bilateral and multilateral ties, with Chinese imperialism as common existential challenge. The enhancement of these relationships, however, can be effective in (hopefully) deterring and in extremis defeating Chinese aggression, only if fully intertwined with their existing formal and de-facto alliances, first and foremost with the United States ,as well as with their already existing links with other countries targeted by Beijing imperialism – from Taiwan and the Republic of Korea, India, Vietnam and Indonesia to Australia and New Zealand as well as Britain, the EU and even NATO [which as  long as the Beijing threat exists, thus for geo-strategic reasons should become APTO – Atlantic and Pacific Treaty Organization- which would coopt Japan and other Indo-Pacific nations as counterbalance to BIMPAT]. Heshin Ri’I/Lebensraum, of course, did not start with Xi Jinping, although he has been expanding it exponentially. Beijing’s aggressive, hegemonic, expansionist policies were in full view under Strongman Hu Jintao whose report to the 18^th CCP congress in 2012 included the statement: “China intends to intensify its [aggressive, JK] activity in the East China Sea and South China Sea perimeters.” Hu’s defense minister General Liang Guanglie was most operationally direct in his report : “In the coming five years, our military will push forward preparations for military conflict in every strategic direction.” It has to be remembered that the perimeters covered by Liang’s statement – from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, the Indian Ocean and the Himalayas – can each become a devastating casus belli for which Beijing alone is responsible.

Therefore, I reject the reference – by “mainstream” media, academe, politicians and intellectuals-to the tenor of Xi Beijing’s foreign and security policy as “assertive.” As abundant evidence indicates it is nothing less than a case of totalitarian (Communist or Fascist “nationalism with Chinese characteristics in the new era”) global imperialist campaign unfolding in real time. Furthermore, I consider spurious the idea bandied about by those circles, especially in democratic nations ,that in the 2020s China ( the “rising” global power- in fact blatant  opportunistic aggressor) and the United States ( the “reigning hegemon”) are engaged in a “mano a mano” confrontation for global domination. Rather, the situation is one where China, by itself, together with Russia through the SCO in Central Asia – or as the core of the BIMPAT Axis, is feverishly attempting to achieve global domination which in the Indo-Pacific means chipping away and eventually destroying the present geo-strategic framework which the US established, maintained and protected with the cooperation of all democracies – especially Japan- since 1945 for the benefit of all nations – including China .In the 21^st century Japan has enhanced significantly its participation especially in the Abe Shinzō era. Overall, the United States, Japan ,India and  Australia (the Quad ) and most other nations in the area seem at last determined to stand up to Chinese aggression.

The US and its allies -certainly Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Britain and hopefully the EU (whose Foreign Affairs Commissioner Josef Borrell ,in November 2020,  approached  then president-elect Joe Biden urging cooperation against Chinese aggression) and even Canada and India have no choice but to pool their capacities -only for reasons of national survival- in order to thwart Xi Jinping’s imperialism which affects them individually and as a group. In other words, being a “neutral” or “spectator “nation is not an option since a world dominated by the BIMPAT Axis would mean a return to the dark days of Fascism.

The palpable enhancement of Trump-era  China containment policies by the Biden administration, is easily identifiable in the rapid sequence of major moves by the democracies aimed at stemming Chinese aggression: the looming institutionalization and expansion of the Quad alliance ; the G-7 summit in London (where India, Australia and South Korea were invited, as a first step toward the potential founding at the suggestion of Prime Minister Boris Johnson of a D-10 [Ten Democracies] framework) followed by the NATO summit in Brussels, where Secretary General Jan Stoltenberg and EU leaders repeatedly referred to Beijing as a “systemic rival.” Considering the overwhelming evidence adduced here, it is more of an existential threat.

It has been said that there is nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. The starting point of the cardinal developments mentioned in this essay is in Abe Shinzō’s eye and mind-opening, concise yet seminal ADSD [Asia’s Democratic Security Diamond] essay of December 2012, and his subsequent intensive and highly successful endeavours at implementing them – a clear trend continued by Japan, its allies, other Indo-Pacific and European nations after his formal departure and untimely death. This is Abe Shinzō’s eternal legacy.

Motto no. 1:”China’s….diplomatic style is distinctly belligerent, which has been the case for a number of years now.”  Mark Harrison, senior researcher in Chinese Studies, University of Tasmania, 2020; emphasis added.

Motto no. 2 :“Boy, [Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau] your greatest achievement is to have ruined the friendly relations between China and Canada, and have  turned Canada into a running dog of the US.“ Li Yang–  Xi Beijing’s wolf-warrior diplomat in Sao Paulo [Brazil] using a communist insult [“running dog”] against the Canadian leader; emphasis added.

In early June 2021 international media reported that Chinese Strongman Xi Jinping had ordered his sprawling global propaganda machine to start a campaign aimed at creating a “lovable” public image for his regime among democratic nations !!!! It remains to be seen what kind of lipstick the CCP espionage squads and Beijing’s appeasing and adoring supporters in democratic nations will use to make the ghastly Regime look better. The gross behaviour of Xi’s rowdy and crass diplomatic representatives – the subject of this piece- seems to have backfired. The Despot tried a similar – equally crass, insensitive and ignorant – trick on Japan in 2018,but failed dismally; this one must not be allowed to succeed either. This is not an easy task since it is an undeniable fact that among his Asian (Pakistan, Iran, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka etc.) African (Ethiopia, South Africa, Zambia, Malawi etc.) and Latin American (Cuba, Venezuela etc.)  satrapies Xi Jinping is the role model of sorts to their own strongmen.

Beijing’s growing economic and political clout in the past two decades (facilitated only by the politically blind, financially greedy and irresponsibly accommodating stance of the democracies) has found offensive expression in the supremacist and racist behaviour of its representatives in international and especially diplomatic forums. (mottos 1;2;3). The EU bureaucracy has branded the vulgar Bullying Beijing’s envoys, Sopranos-style diplomats after the popular US gangster TV series. Recently, the ill manners of Beijing diplomats abroad are said to be inspired by a series of Regime-sponsored, ultra-nationalistic, anti-American, martial arts flics launched in 2015, whose hero is Wolf Warrior (WW #2 poster below ) – PLA [People’s Liberation Army] special forces veteran, always victorious over “evil” Americans in Africa – Beijing’s recent colonial turf.

Wang Yi, Bullying Beijing’s Foreign Minister is encouraging the disgraceful manners of his underlings. While there is nothing wrong with Rambo-style, hyper-patriotic fictional flicks, uncouth behaviour of professional diplomats inspired by a jungle environment of Confucian- Fascist (see Dire History Repeated essay on this website) propaganda films should not be tolerated by any self-respecting nation hosting them. Given the deeply entrenched nature of millenary Confucian racism it is utterly unthinkable for Bullying Beijing to allow the making of the Chinese version of The Ugly American. Canada and Japan – like countless other nations- have been the targets of His Arrogance Wang Yi and his rowdy minions. At a press conference in Ottawa, in 2016, King Wang rudely chastised Canadian journalists for daring to ask him real questions. In November 2020 in Tokyo, Wolf Warrior Wang complained in public to his host, Japanese foreign minister Motegi of …Japan’s territorial ‘intrusion” in the Senkaku area!!!

Zhao Lijian (below) is the quintessential Xi Jinping “wolf warrior” in Western suit. He was the first Beijing foreign ministry spokesman to falsely accuse the US of being the source of the Wuhan Coronavirus in March 2020. At the time, Beijing’s envoy in Washington called the allegation “crazy.” The arrogant, bad-mouthed Zhao has constantly repeated the slur and is still on the job. It is ambassador Cui Tiankai who recanted and was replaced.

In Canada, before the brash Wolf Warrior Cong Peiwu – Xi’s present ambassador – notorious specimens of Chinese diplomatic thuggery included not one but “Two Lus” – the rude and racist (yet not reprimanded or kicked out, by self-disrespecting Ottawa) envoys Lu Shu-min and Lu Sha-ye. Latter Lu (below left) since 2019 has been doing his abusing in Paris which reprimanded him for posting racist lies on the embassy  website about the French people and the Wuhan pandemic. Japan – frequently at the receiving end of Bullying Beijing’s (Pravda/Völkischer Beobachter/Xinhua/Jenmin Jibao-style) Global Times propaganda vehicle – was the subject of an even worse case of vile behaviour by an arrogant Beijing bully, before 2015. This indicates that overall, crass, racist language and manners are to be expected of any Xi Beijing diplomat of sorts, as demonstrated below.

Liu Xiaoming (above right), then Xi’s man in Britain- kicked off one of Beijing’s frequent crass global anti-Japanese propaganda campaigns in early January 2014 with a baseless and nasty opinion piece in the Daily Telegraph (“Japan- threat to global peace by rekindling militaristic spirit of World War Two”) in which he grossly misrepresented then Prime Minister Abe Shinzō’s defensive security policies as revanchist and militaristic. Liu also bashed the Japanese leader for praying at Yasukuni Shrine- the Shintoist, national (though privately-owned) memorial where the spirits of Japan’s fallen soldiers since 1869 are enshrined. Since 1978 the remains of 14 top leaders of wartime Japan (hanged as war criminals by the Allies in 1948) are also interred at Yasukuni. The site also contains some controversial displays attempting to whitewash Imperial Japan’s aggressive ways, a fact used by the country’s Chinese and South Korean detractors as supposedly – and considering incontrovertible postwar facts, utterly falsely- indicating the country’s present and future aggressive intentions.

China and South Korea started their joint attacks on Japanese leaders visiting Yasukuni only after 1982; the bashing intensified in the 21^st century despite of the fact that no Japanese prime minister has ever expressed support for controversial elements and historical falsehoods (Beijing-style…) at Yasukuni. Prime Minister Koizumi (who like all other Japanese leaders apologized and tried repeatedly to make amends in different forms with Beijing and Seoul) rejected outright his neighbours’ criticism on the Yasukuni issue which he saw as blunt interference in Japan’s internal affairs, which it is. Due to the controversy it has caused, Japanese emperors stopped visiting Yasukuni in the late 1970s. Potential solutions to the problem – from transferring elsewhere the remains of the 14 wartime leaders to building a new national war memorial and others- have been futilely considered for decades.

For Liu, Japan under Abe Shinzō, embodied Lord Voldemort – the evil character in the Harry Potter series. Hayashi Keiichi- then Japan’s ambassador to the UK- replied to his Chinese counterpart’s crass diatribe with a dignified and factually solid editorial piece of his own in the same newspaper. Ambassador Hayashi most appropriately urged Liu to stop “invoking the ghost of [Japanese] militarism of seven decades ago which no longer exists.” His overall message was poignant, and memorable: “East Asia is now at a crossroads. There are two paths open to China. One is to seek dialogue and abide by the rule of law. The other is to play the role of Voldemort in the region [and the world, JK] by letting loose the evil of an arms race and escalation of tensions, although Japan will not escalate the situation from its side. The answer seems obvious.” The future proved the visionary quality of the Japanese diplomat’s analysis and forecast: imperialist Xi Beijing (Xi Jinping’s Beijing) fulfills daily ambassador Hayashi’s and any peace-loving person’s, worst fears.

Regarding the Yasukuni pilgrimage on December 26, 2013, for which Liu had bashed him, in fact Abe Shinzō had issued a statement titled “Pledge for Everlasting Peace” which contained the following excerpt:

I paid a visit to Yasukuni Shrine to pray for the souls of those who had fought for the country and made ultimate sacrifices…I have made a pledge never to wage war again, that we must build a world that is free from the sufferings of the devastation of war. Emphasis added.

In other words, like all his predecessors, Prime Minister Abe visited Yasukuni in order to pray for peace – for Japan and the world (the Chinreisha section of Yasukuni commemorates the souls of fallen soldiers of all nations) a statement that reflects most accurately Japan’s international record since 1945 as a bastion of democracy, pacifism and prosperity particularly when compared with the domestically colonialist and genocidal cum rabidly imperialist Beijing Regime.

Furthermore, in an interview with a Chinese-language newspaper in Yokohama (a city with a large Chinese community) on the eve of the Chinese new year in January 2014, Abe stated that postwar Japan was “[re] built [as] a free and democratic country and taken the path of peace.. Nothing has been changed in the policy of continuing to uphold this position,” which was and is, of course, true.

Nevertheless, as expected, Beijing, Seoul and their Leftist cohorts in the American and Japanese media and universities, continuing their relentless global anti-Japanese propaganda campaign, ignored the Japanese leader’s constructive and reasonable messages and bashed him for the Yasukuni visit. Sasae Ken’ichirō – then Japan’s ambassador to the United States- explained his nation’s position on the issue in a dignified and professional manner in a media exchange with Cui Tiancai.

Ambassador Hayashi’s impressive, dignified and widely publicized reply to Liu’s crass rant, would have been even more powerful had it referred to Mao’s aggressively expansionist policy, afflicting Xinjiang, Tibet, Korea, India, Vietnam and even the Soviet Union. Worse yet, domestically, any postwar nation whose (Communist) Dictator Founder was responsible for the death of at least 50 millions of his own people in grotesque schemes like the Great Leap Forward and the mad, self-serving “cultural”  revolution but who has never been taken to task for them, whose awful crimes the people are forbidden from even mentioning decades after his death and instead, inspire his successors especially Xi Jinping – warrant crowning Mao Zedong the Supreme Voldemort of modern national leaders.

Furthermore, even a slightly broader inquiry reveals the mindboggling reality of totalitarian lawlessness, criminality and aggressiveness of the Beijing Regime whose unelected strongmen after Mao, turned it from Confucian- Communist (see my “Understanding Chinese Confu-Communism” online) to Confucian- Fascist today. Hua Guofeng, made boss by Mao, weeks before the dictator’s death, came from the CCP’s dreaded security apparatus, the regime’s domestic espionage and dissident-disappearing machine, which today penetrates society to the local neighbourhood level. The willy Deng Xiaoping (who swiftly emasculated Hua after 1978) provoked a border war “to teach Vietnam a lesson” mainly for dislodging the regime of “mini Mao” Pol Pot, Beijing’s protégé , who only murdered over two million fellow Cambodians. Domestically, Deng liquidated the Democracy Wall in 1980 and butchered the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in 1989, at the cost of thousands of innocent lives. Jiang Zemin, bossed in by Deng, launched the criminal system of forcible harvesting and selling of organs of tens of thousands of Falun Gong practitioners, an outrage courageously documented by Canadian researchers David Kilgour and David Matas (book below). The caption on the direction arrow at an entrance to Kashgar (Xinjiang) airport (right picture) reads: “Special Passengers: Human Organ Export Lane.”

The inevitable question arises: has the ghastly forced organ harvesting and trade system victimizing the Falun Gong been extended to the Muslim Uyghurs in Xinjiang?

Strongman Hu Jintao launched the Sinification of Tibet (through a flood of Han-Chinese settlers, while rejecting the Dalai Lama’s compromise of accepting Beijing’s colonial rule in exchange for religious and cultural autonomy for Tibetans.) Historically, the most convincing but oddly overlooked proof that Tibet is completely different politically from China- thus not an integral part of the Chinese empire- is that Beijing represents a tradition where Religion has always been subservient to the State whereas Tibet’s heritage is one where the Dalai Lama is both religious and political leader, JK].  Chinese soldiers manhandling an elderly protester in 1959 (left picture) and the self-immolation of a young Tibetan protester (in 2017 right picture) illustrate the sordid history of Chinese imperialism.

Xi Jinping’s ever-growing record of inhumanity includes the Sinification campaign of millions of Muslim Uyghurs through re-education camps (picture below) and even by forcing them to “adopt” Han Chinese agents into their families (!!!)

Overall, Xi Jinping, using the latest technologies, has turned his empire into the world’s top surveillance state- Regime software installed on private smartphones, a draconian social-credit system and hundreds of millions of surveillance cameras blanketing the country – here the political heart of the empire – Tiananmen Square . (pictures below)

In this context the wake-up call issued at the 2019 annual Davos conference by businessman and Open Society founder George Soros regarding the existential challenge of Xi Jinping totalitarianism carries potential relevance:

China is not the only authoritarian regime in the world but it is the wealthiest, strongest and technologically most advanced. This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of open societies. That’s why it’s so important to distinguish Xi Jinping’s policies from the aspirations of the Chinese people. The social credit system, if it became operational, would give Xi total control over the people. Since Xi is the most dangerous enemy of the open society, we must pin our hopes on the Chinese people, and especially on the business community and a political elite.

At this dark juncture, however, the Beijing Regime’s domestic reality is one of a Mao-style Xi Jinping cult of pandemic proportions – his pictures and slogans flooding trains, streets and apps. The app in the picture below (left) requires the player to tap the screen as many times as possible in 18 seconds, which then turn into applauses of support for Xi Jinping; the 10-part TV series “Carrying reform through to the end,” celebrates Xi’s “achievements,” in education: disciplining students using face-recognition (picture below right).

An investigative report in the South China Morning Post in October 2019, drew a dark picture of the Orwellian atmosphere in the CCP-dominated education :

“Chill and fear pervade in Chinese classrooms as students are recruited to report teachers with ‘radical’ opinions. Some educators have been punished …or reprimanded after discussing social issues such as the environment, gender equality and the death penalty.”

Beijing’s arrogant, racist “diplomatic” corps has its counterpart in CCP media. Multimillionaire HU Xijin (picture below) past editor of Global Times was Xi ’s racist online attack dog serving his master in Der Stűrmer/Pravda-Krokodil/Jenmin Jibao– style journalism.

Said Xi’s Hu on Australia (for daring to stand up to reckless Chinese espionage, blackmail and brinkmanship culminating in the audacious demand that a professional international investigation of the Wuhan pandemic be launched): “Australia is always there, making trouble. It is like chewing gum stuck on the sole of China’s shoes. Sometimes you have to find a stone to rub it off.” Hu deserves the Mahathir bin Mohamad prize for anti-Australian racism.

Xi Jinping has earned another feather in his dreadful cap, by deliberately not alerting his people and the world in timely fashion to the Wuhan virus – a crime which cost millions of non-Chinese and Chinese lives. The BIMPAT [Beijing/Islamabad/Moscow/Pyongyang/Ankara/Tehran] totalitarian Axis continues to shamelessly try to shift responsibility for the plague from China to the US and European nations. In conclusion, for their unmatched postwar record of murderous treatment of their own people and of the ethnic and religious minorities under their rule (especially Tibetans, Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Mongolians and Falun Gong) and their aggressively imperialist and colonialist foreign policy in the era of Asian and African decolonization (unless the colonizer is Chinese, Russian or Turkish…)- the Beijing Regime’s top leaders constitute a veritable Voldemort Gallery.
