There'a an article in the quasi-official New York Times headlined
"In New China, 'Hostile' West is Still Derided."
By putting hostile in quotation marks the q-o-NYT intends both to quote Zhongnanhai and to question it.
In fact, as with Vladimir Putin there is basis for the belief. There are reasons why China and Russia have better relations today with each other than either has with the United States.
Russia and China have this in common:
-America held itself out to be "friends" of both
- and then allowed NSA to build back doors into the products of American companies, like Apple and its cell phones, like Google
-allowed the products to be sold to China and Russia as bona fide purchasers
-lied about the unprecedented espionage
-did so for industrial as well as security purposes
-publicly accused Russia and China of industrial espionage
-prosecuted Chinese and Russian individuals and entities for the espionage
-intervened on behalf of the American companies by e.g. suing
-and then got caught themselves.
Among other reasons.
Which led Xi Jinping to say in Brazil in July, according to the q-o-NYT, that developing countries should
"challenge U.S. hegemony on the Internet.”
Yes, they should.
America has shown itself to be hostile toward Russia and China--and Germany and Brazil. The administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama have done more harm to American security and "interests," have eroded American credibility and trust more than all previous administrations combined.
You don't need to be a weatherman to see which way that wind is blowing. Very shortly, as soon as the official data comes in China will have replaced the United States of America as the world's largest economy. It will have done it on its own, despite American internet control, despite its American "friends."
