@Wexter<\/a> More or less. Though it’s a unique situation in history I think. It’s not WWIII (though I suspect it inevitably will lead to the real deal one way or another at some point in time.) But it’s not an influence-driven cold war like the 80s’ US-Soviet Cold War. It’s the first time in history, I think, where one country has the economic ability, and the legal ability through international business (backfiring), and the will to actually begin PURCHASING all the other countries’ assets, openly, without even starting any overt hostility. It’s simply more effective because CCP is very patient and strategic, buying only enough to mostly control through mandatory influence without displaying overt total control and ownership in a way that attracts public attention, and doing it through front-companies that appear to be independent businesses. If they started hanging red and gold flags outside businesses they control there would be backlash. But as long as “An American headquartered publicly traded company” owns huge amounts of land or media control, and “43% of shares are held by foreign investors” everything looks stable, and no one is the wiser that that 43% gives the CCP controlling power over information flow and land use (and social engineering projects as a result, to convert us slowly over time to their way of life.) And people will never<\/strong> suspect much even with near complete control. Nor will they be informed, because the media companies are among those companies.<\/p>\n

That alone is a failure of the West entirely on numerous different levels to create a situation which should never have actually been possible. When a closed, semi-authoritarian government can effectively purchase the world, legally, and thus control it, legally under the other<\/strong> countries’ laws…. There really are no words for that level of failure. But it’s certainly not good for anyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
