Trump Just SURRENDERED to China: Nuclear Trade War BACKFIRES w/ Carl Zha, KJ Noh & Warwick Powell!
DJ, China is proud of over 5,000 years of history...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucianism or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confucianism may be a basic idea/ideology for the last 3,000 years;
According to He Guanghu, Confucianism may be identified as a continuation of the Shang-Zhou (c. 1600–256 BC) official religion, or the Chinese aboriginal religion which has lasted uninterrupted for three thousand years
DJ, Ho Tji Minh in Vietnam, Sukarno in Indonesia most of all were nationalists...since the Soviet Union, China offered help they became "communist".
The western "idea" of Asia is much to simple..."Collectivism"-being part of a group/society-is basic. Accepting sometimes life has a set-back-lookiing for long duration-NOT short term incidents-also is part of the "idea"...
So US tariffs are "an unwelcome incident"...China already expected. So China shifted a lot of trade away from the US (to trade partners that pay !).
One of the "new" partners (old silk road went via Persia) is Iran. The "strategic partnership" Iran now -de facto- has with China, India (Pakistan, Türkiye) does change the basis for US-Iran talks...
China did succeed in improving Saudi-Iran relations; with Saudi Arabia "balancing" on BRICS+ membership.
---
BRICS+ moving high speed towards Africa; India, Brazil may play both a major role.
-A lot of India-roots (going back to UK colonial rule) bussinesses in Africa
-Former Portugal 9often oil rich) colonies share language/culture with Brazil...
And YES China is interested in low cost textiles, agriculture...Russia may build rail roads, pipelines, refinaries and nuclear power plants...
The outcome of BRICS+ for Africa is "building up" Africa ! A total different perspective then western neo-colonialism, exploitation, slavery and mass murder (via wars, pandemics, starvation).
Slowly Europe may wake up...no longer willing to pay for wars they did not want, resulting in refugees in need of safety...
It would be welcome if all those refugees from UKraine, Syria, Africa, Afghanistan could have a choice and perspectives...
