in 30 years time watching this video
will be illegal in your country because
china will have dominated the world the
chinese banksy the man known simply as
baduchao recently had his exhibition in
italy protested by the chinese
government infamous for speaking out
against the chinese communist party
china lobbied the italian government to
have his show cancelled when that didn't
work the nation threatened brisha the
italian city where a baidu chaos
exhibition was being held with warnings
that continuing with the show would put
any future collaborations in jeopardy
the city ignored the warning and the
italian government refused to shut the
show down then the chinese government
moved to threatened by the xiao himself
they first ran propaganda pieces on
baidu chao through state-run websites
within the great chinese firewall
casting it to doubt his character and
making baseless accusations against him
the government actively encouraged
anti-baidu chao sentiment among chinese
social media while censoring any
pro-baidu chao posts then things got
personal chinese people began to show up
at baidu chow's exhibit claiming to be
supporters getting close to the artists
they began to deliver warnings about how
dangerous italy could be one even
mentioned how people die on the streets
here for no reason in italy a clear
death threat today baidu chao is forced
to live in australia where he doesn't
contact his family for fear the chinese
government will go after them instead
but if china has its way soon nowhere
will be safe to hide from the chinese
communist party not even the united
states of america if you think this is
far-fetched consider china's response to
the interruption of the 2022 olympic
games torch lighting ceremony in greece
when pro-free tibet protesters crashed
the ceremony to demand accountability
for the genocide of 1 million uyghurs in
china after the event became public
those involved in the protest had their
identities leaked online to receive
thousands of death threats mostly from
chinese social media users ironically
using a vpn to bypass chinese sensors
this is hardly the first time that
beijing has used public outrage it
creates to target its critics and even
endanger lives when the media team of
university of new south wales removed an
article and tweet in which elaine
pearson the australian director of human
rights watch spoke about china's
curtailing of human rights after the
hong kong riots pro-chinese communist
party students across australia flooded
the university's social media pages with
hate messages the irony here once more
being that if they did this in their own
country they'd be jailed for it but it's
no laughing matter as australia has a
large chinese population and there are
now concerns over how to preserve free
speech in the face of overwhelming
chinese intimidation of china's critics
if you thought the us a country known
for its staunch defense of free speech
is safe from chinese influence think
again in 2020 five people were arrested
in what the u.s officials called an
aggressive chinese government operation
to track down dissidents and critics of
beijing in the united states and
repatriate them this operation codenamed
foxhunt was according to beijing part of
an anti-corruption campaign where the
targets were supposed to be brought back
home to china for trial that is frankly
terrifying as it's clear china was
willing to bring these critics who
sought safety in america home no matter
the cost possibly even involving
kidnapping the scary thing is that by
u.s officials own administration china
has several of these squads in operation
across the united states and fighting
and neutralizing them is now a top
priority in order to protect the rights
of chinese immigrants in america
chillingly one of those agents caught by
authorities had left a note on the door
of one man they were seeking to bring
back to china which read if you are
willing to go back to mainland and spend
10 years in prison your wife and
children will be all right that's the
end of the matter would china seriously
murder the family of a dissident on u.s
soil if the threat against baiduchao is
to be believed the answer is yes and in
a world where china is the top power
there is no room for free speech or
criticism of the chinese communist party
china's current president xi jinping
took power in 2013 and since then he has
worked to reshape china and eventually
the world in his image while the chinese
communist party was always a repressive
authoritarian organization under xi the
party has not only ramped up its
authoritarianism it started to export it
to other countries but more on that
later shortly after taking office she
undertook a massive anti-corruption
campaign across both the chinese
government and the military while china
did in fact suffer from a massive
corruption problem ranking among the
most corrupt in the developed world at a
time the truth is that xi's purge wasn't
just to root out criminal politicians
and military leaders it was to weed out
anyone who might pose a challenge to his
authority it's no surprise then as she
sent back thousands to prison he began
to lay the groundwork for removing
presidential term limits in 2018 he
accomplished that goal when the
communist party staffed almost
completely with she loyalists voted to
remove presidential term limits from the
constitution but ruling china isn't
enough for the ccp to ensure their own
survival they need to topple the liberal
globe order modeled on western
democracies and china's got two plans to
do just that the first is the most
direct and simple approach and it starts
off right on their own shores china's
ambitions to become the world's reigning
superpower will never come to pass if it
can't first topple the current reigning
world superpower the united states of
america in order to achieve this it
first must kick the us out of the
pacific for good and that means building
a strong navy navies need soldiers
though and to that end china is
preparing its people and the world for
war against the united states since the
late 2010s a slew of chinese action
films have been released globally
featuring chinese heroes who inevitably
end up fighting against corrupt american
villains meanwhile china threatens to
blacklist any films that feature chinese
villains as u.s producers discovered in
2012 when the red dawn remake was forced
to undergo extensive reshoots and
editing to change a plausible chinese
invasion of america into an unrealistic
invasion by north korean troops china
has never been able to challenge even
just the u.s navy's pacific forces never
mind the entire might of the american
navy but in the last 10 years china's
ability to challenge the us navy has
dramatically increased with capabilities
that it could only dream of when first
she took power first china has developed
a massive ballistic missile force the
largest in the world so large in fact
it's now officially its own branch of
the chinese military the chinese
liberation army rocket force the nation
might still lag behind the united states
when it comes to long-range targeting
capabilities but they have proven that
they have the capability of hitting a
mobile target far from their own shores
at least in testing under kinetic and
electronic attack it's not known how
well the inexperienced chinese military
will actually perform and that is key
when considering discussing chinese
military might for all their
improvements in modernizing their forces
and expanding capabilities china is
still a completely inexperienced
military which has not fought a modern
war the last conflict it fought against
vietnam in the 70s was a humiliating
affair even after vietnam had been
severely weakened by its long war
against the us vietnam ended up fighting
the chinese to a standstill and though
china claimed victory it was chinese
troops who ended up being forced to
retreat back over the border a lack of
experience in modern combined arms
warfare is a serious deficiency in
chinese forces and the nation didn't
even have a joint command structure
until only recently meaning that its
different branches of the military had
no way of working together in a combat
scenario the us for instance has a long
tradition of joint command operations
allowing it to seamlessly integrate its
various branches into a unified fighting
force another critical deficiency for
china is a lack of realistic training
for its combat troops though this too
has begun to slowly improve over time
for much of its modern history china's
military would only undertake exercises
that were rehearsed in advance and
designed to make the military look good
while providing little if any actual
training benefit chinese missiles aim to
level the playing field against the
vastly more experienced and capable us
military which has a robust training
schedule for both its active duty and
reserves and is one of the most
experienced militaries in the world a
missile doesn't need to be trained and a
salvo of missiles can quickly level the
playing field thus the plarf is a
serious threat to the united states navy
their missiles have steadily become more
accurate with the df-3a long-range
ballistic missile initially having a
miss radius of 4000 meters and today one
of only a few hundred meters that's far
from pinpoint accuracy but if you're
using nuclear weapons or a large enough
number of missiles accuracy is largely
irrelevant even against a moving carrier
strike group and china definitely has
the missiles to spare with approximately
2 200 long-range conventional ballistic
missiles ready to engage the us navy all
the way across the pacific nearly to
hawaii china has enough missiles to
target every vessel in the u.s pacific
command and overwhelm its anti-missile
defenses what's unknown though is how
well the plarf would operate in a
contested environment against u.s
kinetic electronic and cyber warfare
assets in order for a missile to strike
its target a long kill chain of assets
must be protected from destruction or
harassment and the further away the
target the more vulnerable and critical
this kill chain becomes these kill
chains can be aerial surveillance assets
satellites in space ground and airborne
radar and all important data links which
must be protected from enemy attack and
degradation it's unknown how well china
can defend its kill chains to ensure the
rocket force can keep the u.s navy out
of the pacific but striking against its
highest priority target doesn't require
a very long kill chain thousands of
china's missiles are aimed at the first
stepping stone in china's ascension to
dominate the world taiwan this breakaway
republic used to be a chinese territory
until after world war ii when the
nationalist party retreated to the
island from the communists initially a
dictatorship taiwan grew ties with the
united states and changed to a liberal
democracy but that democracy is only 100
miles offshore from a communist
dictatorship that very much wants it
back in the fold for china reclaiming
taiwan is of critical importance for
starters the continued independence of
the island nation is a thorn in the side
of the chinese communist party its
liberal democracy is a direct challenge
to xi jinping's authoritarian
dictatorship and sets an example that a
growing number of young chinese are
eager to follow this is a threat to the
ccp's survival as the last thing that
the party wants is the chinese people
getting silly ideas like voting rights
or free speech in their head to counter
taiwan's influence a robust censorship
campaign targets and eliminates any
pro-taiwan or pro-democracy content on
china's state-run social media in china
this photo is illegal and posting it can
get you sent to jail mentioning the 1989
government slaughter of up to 4 000
student pro-democracy protesters in
tiananmen square is a good way to end up
in prison for years the image and the
history of the slaughter are censored
across all forms of chinese media for
years china has promised taiwan that it
would still be allowed to rule itself
after reunification under its vaunted
one nation two systems program that was
implemented in hong kong after the
handover by the british to the chinese
one nation to systems was supposed to
ensure that the people of hong kong
would continue to enjoy their democratic
freedoms and independence for 50 years
after the british handover but just
between 1997 and 2007 218 cases of
breaching the rights of hong kong
citizens were verified today beijing
barely tries to hide its influence over
hong kong as it intimidates critics
infiltrates the hong kong government
with politicians it buys and pays for
and even uses the local police forces
against protesters who wish for
democracy in 2019 xi jinping once more
offered taiwan a one country two systems
deal if it reunified with china which
taiwan immediately and completely
rejected given how china has treated
hong kong it's difficult not to see why
taiwan's president so quickly and
thoroughly dismissed any idea of being
lured back into the chinese fold with
the lie of one country two systems
taiwan knows that once china has a
foothold on its island the democratic
rights and freedoms it's enjoyed for
generations are over taiwan's
independence however is more than just a
threat to the chinese communist party's
future it's also a major military
embarrassment for a country that wishes
to be seen as a superpower the
definition of a superpower is a nation
which can project its cultural economic
and political and military power across
the entire planet a role that currently
only the united states can fulfill if
china can't even bring an island nation
of 100 miles off its coast to heal how
is it supposed to project its military
or political power globally as long as
taiwan remains independent it'll prove
to the world that china is incapable of
projecting military or political power
even just off its own shores and thus
taiwan must fall if china is to rise
whether it happens peacefully with
reunification or under armed invasion
remains to be seen a recent poll showed
that over 90 percent of taiwanese
supported continued independence
retaking taiwan though also gives the
chinese military the breathing room
necessary to kick the united states out
of the pacific for good from taiwan the
chinese navy and air force both would
have a strategic high ground in the
pacific so to speak from which to defend
the chinese coast as long as taiwan
remains closely aligned with the united
states china can't break out of what's
known as the first island chain an
invisible line that runs from japan to
taiwan to the philippines today there's
no chance taiwan is going to reunite
with china and the chinese navy can't
pull off a cross-strait invasion of the
island nation but all that is changing
as the people's liberation navy slowly
but steadily expands its inventory of
amphibious assault ships and landing
craft in another few years time it's
believed that china will have the
necessary hardware to pull off a
successful invasion if they can keep the
us air and naval power at bay to that
end china has greatly expanded the size
of its navy with 355 ships 145 of which
are major surface combatants it's now
the numerically largest navy in the
world and many of its destroyers are
more modern than aging u.s counterparts
though they don't pack as big of a punch
with fewer missile cells per ship than
the united states xi jinping is
dedicated to fully modernizing the
chinese military and fielding a
world-class force by 2049 in time for
the ccp's 100th anniversary so the size
and capabilities of the chinese navy
will only continue growing to counter
this threat the united states has
undertaken a renewed shipbuilding
program and accelerated the procurement
of new classes of destroyers submarines
and even aircraft carriers however the
us has commitments all over the world
while china can focus the entirety of
its forces on just one opponent the
united states this is a major strategic
problem for america in a future showdown
with china but the us has one big
advantage that china lacks allies so it
turns out authoritarianism is not a
popular choice with most people and
acting like a regional bully isn't
conducive to making friends at the
moment china has no regional allies and
few friends of any influence even its
closest neighbors for the moment prefer
to partner with the us than china but
this is where part 2 of china's plan to
dominate the world comes to play soft
power in order to push the united states
out of the pacific china must wield
enough economic and political power over
its neighbors that it's able to force
them under its influence and out of the
us's to that end china has launched a
multi-prong defensive on its regional
neighbors that includes charm
appeasement political manipulation and
even outright economic coercion
beijing's charm offensive has never
worked out the way it hoped and in fact
ended up driving australia even closer
to the united states to the point that
the nation has now joined a trilateral
pact with the us and uk to defend the
pacific when australia joined the united
states in calling out china for its
human rights abuses and genocide of the
uyghur people china responded by
economically punishing australia putting
harsh tariffs on australian goods and
resorting to outright sanctions in
response to these actions a chinese
official said will not allow any country
to reap benefits from doing business
with china while groundlessly accusing
and smearing china and undermining
china's core interests based on ideology
the smear that insulted beijing
australia condemning the nation for
photos like this captured using a drone
and smuggled out of the country with a
long history of chemically castrating
muslim minorities in its western
provinces separating families
imprisoning tens of thousands without a
cause and forcing uighur women to have
abortions and undergo sterilization
china has rightly earned international
condemnation for human rights abuses the
nation claims it's simply fighting
extremism the truth is it's carrying out
a quiet genocide and an estimated
million are already dead but while
australia didn't bow to china's pressure
to remain quiet on its human rights
abuses and tow the chinese communist
party line other small nations have
because they have no choice for nearly a
decade now china has undertaken its belt
and road initiative the modern silk road
is meant to improve china's access to
international markets by building
infrastructure both at home and abroad
the biggest beneficiaries have been
smaller less developed nations whom have
received loans from the chinese
government to build much needed
infrastructure with chinese firms of
course but the problems come when the
loans come due as these generous loans
provided by china often have outrageous
repayment terms that china knew the host
nation would never be able to adhere to
despite the promise of greatly increased
economic activity in most of these
places that promised economic boon never
came and so nation after nation has
defaulted on these loans unable to repay
the countries have been forced to seed
entire airports shipyards and railways
to the chinese government giving up
ownership entirely china's belt and road
initiative has thus been returned as
modern colonialism with china at the
helm but with most underdeveloped
nations the allure of chinese economic
prosperity will entice them to agree to
just about anything beijing offers or
commands of them it's no surprise that
many of these nations suddenly find
their government filled with pro-china
yes men and importing tens of millions
of dollars of surveillance technology
along with chinese infrastructure all
too often comes chinese style of
government and the chinese communist
party has been all too glad to export
its form of authoritarianism to the
world and how to maintain a modern
surveillance state with exports to over
60 nations huawei has become the global
leader in exporting surveillance tech
with china even building entire
surveillance networks for host countries
slowly but surely china is changing
governments around the world and the us
is inadvertently helping it under the
trump administration the united states
stepped back from its role as a global
leader this vacuum of power was quickly
exploited by china who was happy to
infiltrate international economic and
political organizations left reeling
after a retreat from the united states
due to ambiguity over the us's
willingness to defend traditional
western values of liberal democracy and
open markets nations caught between a
powerful authoritarian neighbor such as
china and a desire for liberal freedoms
found themselves questioning if it was
politically survivable to continue to
oppose the desires of their more
powerful dictator next door this was
most obvious across the south pacific as
nations such as vietnam and thailand
were suddenly forced to consider the
possibility that they may no longer
count on u.s support to fend off chinese
political or military aggression but the
failure of the trump administration to
fill even basic state department
positions hundreds of them for over a
year was another blunder that china was
happy to exploit sending its diplomats
all over the world with no american
presence on the ground nations even as
close to home as surinam in south
america turned to chinese interests now
for the first time since the end of the
19th century the united states faces
growing influence of a major rival in
its own backyard if china gained a
foothold in south america it would be
the first time since the 19th century
that any rival power has had a presence
in the western hemisphere this is as
intolerable to the united states today
as it was in the 18th century when it
removed spain as the last european power
with any influence in the us's side of
the world this is a strategic victory
for america that no other nation on
earth has ever enjoyed as it allows the
united states to maintain a forward
presence with its military around the
world capable of quickly responding to
aggression from any bad actor if china
gains a political and military foothold
in south america the united states will
be forced to reel in some of its forces
for homeland defense severely weakening
its place on the global stage if the
united states is to prevent china's
ascension to global domination it must
once more take up the reins of a global
leadership and cease its retreat from
the world stage thankfully while still
too early to tell it appears that a new
american administration has dramatically
changed scores however china's growing
economic influence is not something so
easily countered even if african and
middle east nations are growing
increasingly aware of the exploitative
nature of the belt and road initiative
the same can be said about china's
growing military might with taiwan
finding itself in the difficult position
of resisting a growing giant on its
doorstep while unsure if the united
states will really defend it or not and
as the us continues to hesitate on the
global stage the rest of the world is
starting to have to ask itself the same
question is it better just to appease
the chinese communist party or run the
risk of becoming its next victim now go
