Description

The Western media continues to mislead the public over the true status of Taiwan and US efforts to undermine its own agreements with Beijing and violate its obligations under international law. Washington continues maneuvering its client regime in Taipei into a similarly catastrophic proxy war with the rest of China as Ukraine is in now with Russia.

America has never signed a agreement they couldn't break.

This is a continuation of US strategy to keep Asia poor and divided. This policy was articulated in the top-secret U.S. Foreign Policy written 76 years ago. February 24, 1948, Declassified U.S. Foreign Policy: Furthermore, we have about 50% of the world’s wealth but only 6.3% of its population. This disparity is particularly great as between ourselves and the peoples of Asia. In this situation, we cannot fail to be the object of envy and resentment. Our real task in the coming period is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. ... that Japan and the Philippines will be found to be the corner-stones of such a Pacific security system and that if we can contrive to retain effective control over these areas there can be no serious threat to our security from the East within our time. Taiwan was added to the Pacific security system after Chiang's army retreated to the island of Taiwan in 1949. South Korea was added after the Korean War in 1953. The attempt with Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia was abandoned in 1975. The 1989 attempt in China failed. The 2019-2020 attempt in Hong Kong also failed. Anywhere in the world, if there is a border dispute, it is usually the result of a line drawn by an Englishman; if it is an internal dispute, it is usually the US fueling it. Difference in implementation of divide and conquer strategy. Politics determines how wealth is distributed within a country, while wars and diplomacy determine how wealth is distributed between countries. The citizens of the world's richest country with the most expensive military are enjoying these benefits: Economic inequality, inflation, stagnant real wages for the last fifty years, costly healthcare, an expensive education system, student loan debt totaling $1.7 trillion with an average balance of $38,000, poor public transportation systems, racial inequality, mass incarceration, the militarization of police, deteriorating infrastructure, housing affordability, homelessness, the opioid epidemic, and gun violence. Instead of prioritizing the welfare of its people, the US meddles in other countries to spread its version of democracy. The question is whether the USA can continue to survive with its version of democracy, not whether it can have any leadership role in the global order.

All those anti-Chinese people who bark "Taiwan is a free country" don't have to suffer the consequences of such an act (declaration of independence). The people of Taiwan are free to decide if they want to end up like Ukraine.

Its not just Taiwan. The current government in the Philippines is on track to do just the same. Everyday the rhetoric of how the imagined external threats to the "sovereignty of the country" are the screaming headlines of every major local media news outlet in the country while issues that matter to the MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION like lower food, fuel, transportation and electricity costs are ignored. Who knows what kind and how much weapons the US Military is now storing inside the territory of the Philippines when there is absolutely no accounting given to the host country.

Philippine Independence is celebrated on June 12 but never on July 4. Technically the Philippines celebrates the independence from Spain but sadly, is still a colony of the United States
