Conservatives in the US, on Fox News mainly, assert that the Democratic Party is in league with China and point to the Green initiatives limiting power and energy use in the West to that. I would like to take a few minutes to pop this bubble and blow through these arguments because they are leading a lot of Americans who are rightly critical of the Green New Deal "Burn Back Better" agendas into a false diversion. I maintain that, no, Liberal Democrats are just as anti-China as the Conservatives are, if not even more so, but are just sneaker about it. What people fail to take into account is how much things are connected and interwoven and that no nation is an island, but true nationalism depends on peaceful cooperation for win-win development. That's the way it's always been, going back to the time of Kepler and China's original, ancient Silk Road...As Matthew Ehret has so beautifully illustrated. Matthew Ehret and Cynthia Chung have done such a brilliant breakdown of how history works and couldn't have come onto the stage at a better time, as influencers.
Democrats hate Russia and Conservatives hate China, but what both fail to illustrate (as your article does) is that Russia and China are connected. The uranium that goes into nuclear power plant generation comes from Khazakastan, Niger, and a whole assortment of other countries that are joining in with the Eurasian alliance and BRICS. China needs Russia as much as Russia needs China, and both need friends and allies abroad. As this article illustrated, Russian energy and Russian cooperation on nuclear power is helping China leapfrog into new discoveries. By being so against Russia, and hoping to destabilize Russia with Regime Change and "decoloninization" (READ: breaking up Russia into a bunch of small ethnic microstates each susceptible to the looting by speculators), it would cripple Russia's ability to help China fuel its energy. China's manufacturing economy depends on Russian energy and expertise in nuclear industries. That is, until further advances into Thorium and Fusion make China more energy-independent. Uranium fission, natural gas, and coal are kind of like training wheels to launch into the next stage of Fusion, Thorium, and maybe Zero Point Energy.
The Republican Conservatives fail to make the connection that, by being against Russia, the Democrats are also against China. They're just doing it in the roundabout way, through the back door. It's all part of the same agenda.
Absolutely, well said! I couldn’t agree more, and I witness (and am frustrated by) the left/right, China/Russia bifurcation in US political discourse all the time. The day America realizes her allies are in both Russia and China will be not only a huge turning point for this country, but in world history. A US-Russia-China alliance could not be beat!
