The NYT published a ChiCom propaganda piece: https://archive.ph/sza5l As Chicom propaganda, it was written purely in order to achieve an effect on the listener without regard for truth. The Chicoms are careful students of libtard ideology and wokeness, and look for opportunities to exploit it to their own advantage whenever possible.

Mr. Wang is a Communist Party member and a former chief opinion editor of The Global Times, an arm of the official Communist Party newspaper, The People’s Daily.

Bear in mind that absolutely nothing in this "op ed" is Wang's personal opinion. It is a document written and approved by multiple Communist Party committees with a goal and purpose in mind.

Blah blah blah, the Chinese used to look up to America and aspire to be like them, BUT THEN THE AMERICANS DID A BAD THING AND NOW IT'S ALL AMERICA'S FAULT THAT CHINESE ACT LIKE THIS!!!

China never looked up to America. The Chinese Communist Party has always viewed America as it's ultimate enemy, its "final boss". The CCP never wanted peaceful coexistence with the US. The goal of the CCP always has been to pretend to want peace in order to parasite off of the capitalist world economy, steal everything possible to catch up and surpass the CCP's hated enemies, and then stab all their "trading partners" in the back and launch wars of imperialist aggression as soon as the CCP feels it has built up enough wealth and military power to win.

The recent rise of "wolf warrior" angry children CCP diplomats, culminating in the CCP's recent melt down over Pelosi visiting Taiwan, only proves that the CCP leadership has lost patience with its plan of “Hide your strength, bide your time” [Deng Xiaoping] and instead feels wealthy and powerful enough to initiate their backstab soon. Militarists in the CCP leadership are chomping at the bit, wanting to strike.

It was a thrilling time. China was emerging from isolationism and poverty, and as we looked to the future we studied democracy, market economics, equality and other ideals that made America great. We couldn’t realistically adopt them all because of China’s conditions, but our lives were transformed as we recalibrated our economy on a U.S. blueprint.

Absolutely none of that is true. The CCP responded to "we studied democracy" with the Tienanmen Square Massacre. That was in 1989, BEFORE the "great opening" of China to the West in terms of foreign investment. There has been no study or talk of democracy allowed ever since.

There is not, and has never been, "equality" of any sort in China. Look at the Uyghur genocide. Look at Tibet. Look at the persecution of Falun Gong. Look at the Hukou system, which effectively turns the poor countryside into slave labor for the cities, with 0 rights and 0 social welfare. 1/3 of China's economy is STILL fully socialist state owned enterprises. Modern China is a cruel, dystopian authoritarian socialist Han ethnostate, running an emulator within its economy which is almost like some kind of ancap extreme capitalism shit. NOTHING in China followed a "US blueprint". It is an utterly alien economy, unique in the world, resulting from the bastard child of communist lust for power trying to gain money as fast as possible without renouncing communist "principles".

The only "market economics" in China is to steal and cheat to get ahead. The CCP allowed whites to exploit Chinese labor briefly, and then kicked the whites out as soon as the Chicoms were confident they could steal all the white tricks and do the exploiting themselves. The whole Chinese model is: (1) invite in, (2) steal as fast as you can (3) set up a domestic competitor, and (4) once domestic competition is viable, expel the barbarian.

Yet as relations between our countries deteriorate, the United States blames us. Secretary of State Antony Blinken did so in May, saying that China was “undermining” the rules-based world order and could not be relied upon to “change its trajectory.”

Yes, the CCP acts like a bully. It tried to use "soft power" to coerce and control the NBA & Hollywood. In many cases, it succeeded, but as its efforts became more extreme and in the public eye, a sort of immune response rose up against it. As the CCP did not get immediate desired results, instead of being smarter about it, the CCP simply got nastier and would lash out over the slightest thing, such as John Cena accidentally calling Taiwan a country, or a joke "A: Look at my knees B: What kind of knees are these? A: Chi-neese" etc. The Chicoms would cancel movies and cut off and sanction companies for such trivial shit, the companies have finally stopped trying to gain the CCP's love. Top Gun: Maverick, after famously cutting a Taiwan patch from the back of a flight jacket, brought the patch back for the movie's release.

Everyone has had enough Chicom shit. The international sentiment over China's temper tantrum over Taiwan, and its unprecedented missile launches overflying Taiwan, has been extremely negative. China has outed itself as a belligerent and a bully more clearly than ever.

a U.S. spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet collided in the South China Sea, leaving a Chinese pilot dead.

No, it was a US SIGINT plane (it picks up signals, like radio transmissions) flying in international waters, harassed and ultimately RAMMED BY a Chicom fighter interceptor.

We had largely avoided foreign wars

Nope. China invaded Tibet, attacked the US in Korea, attacked Taiwan's islands numerous times, invaded Xinjiang, attacked India multiple times, got involved in the Vietnam War, and THEN invaded Vietnam after, fought with the USSR at least once, and recently started to attack India again. And now, flirting with attacking Taiwan.

The idea that the CCP has ever been peaceful is laughable. It's a warmongering empire, it just likes to pretend that all its warmongering is "internal matters". Note that the CCP is careful to say "foreign" wars. That was intentional.

Chinese citizens were as shocked as anyone when a pro-Trump mob stormed the citadel of American democracy on Jan. 6, 2021.

So the ultimate purpose of this propaganda piece is to appeal to American liberals, and try to make them feel guilt and shame (the Chinese know that white liberals fetishize feeling guilt and shame) over "making" China into a belligerent bully. The purpose of this manipulative exercise is to convince white liberals that they should stand aside and let the CCP do as it pleases, just as they stood aside and let blacks in the BLM riots did as they pleased. Ultimately, that is the only real goal of any Chinese propaganda: to support the eventual success of the wars of conquest the CCP plans to launch when it feel ready.

The visit to Taiwan last week by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has only further disappointed many Chinese, who saw it as a violation of U.S. commitments on Taiwan.

The US never made any such commitments. It was pure aggression by the CCP. And the Chinese were disappointed when the CCP backed down like the little bitches they are and did nothing except some invasion LARPing tantrum after, after the CCP had overhyped its threats and the Chinese nationalist population was too young and stupid to know all the threats were empty.

China’s critics in the United States need to realize that American actions such as these are causing outcomes in China that even the United States doesn’t want.

And there's the punchline. As always, the CCP is on-the-nose. Nope. It's not America's fault that the Chinese communists are angry little warmongery pieces of shit. The worst thing the US has ever done in terms of foreign policy, was allowing free trade with these fucking communists. When the Chicoms were poor, they were not a threat. Now? They are. And it's the fault of decades of US policy, including Bill Clinton, GWB, and Obama. It was not until Trump that we BEGAN to step back from the CCP, but Trump did not go anywhere near far enough, and there is still an enormous trade imbalance between the US and China.

It’s no accident that China’s military spending — a source of concern in Washington for years — began rising in the early 2000s after the Belgrade bombing and the plane collision. It quickly took off after the war in Iraq showcased how far ahead the U.S. military was compared with ours.

Lies. Pure coincidence. Chicom military spending was not in reaction to any of those. It has risen lock step as China's economy has grown, always outpacing the economy.

China’s past weakness had been calamitous: Western powers attacked and forced China to surrender territory in the 1800s

Chicoms still cry about the Opium wars from the mid 1800s, but they never mention that the most devastating event in China in the 1800s was the Taiping rebellion where a chinese guy saw a pamphlet from a Christian missionary, proclaimed himself the brother of Jesus Christ, and launched a rebellion that killed tens of MILLIONS of Chinese, the second deadliest war in human history after WW2.

This narrative of weakness and inferiority from the Opium Wars plays a major role in the CCP psyche, and feeds into its justifications for bullying: the CCP wants to become the empire, become the bully, and finally heal its psychic wounds and shame by doing to the world, what the Chicoms feel was long ago done to them. This mentality justifies any horror, any atrocity, as you can already see in Xinjiang.

U.S. officials no doubt want China to follow the American path of liberalism.

The idea that China would magically democratize and follow international norms just because it got lots of money was always stupid and naive, and we could see that it wasn't working since at least 20 years ago, yet greed kept everyone shoveling money to the Chicoms.

The sense of America as a dangerous force in the world has filtered into Chinese public attitudes as well.

The United States represents an existential threat to CCP ambitions of a global empire and world domination. The CCP knows that unless it defeats the United States in a war, or multiple wars, it will never be able to follow in the footsteps of Imperial Japan and engage in the empire building it so desperately wants. So it goes without saying that the CCP and Chinese nationalists see the US as an enemy which must be destroyed, not as a threat to China, but as a threat to the CCP's ambitions of conquest and domination.

Deng Xiaoping initiated reforms that brought stability and helped lift 800 million people out of poverty.

The CCP did not lift anyone out of poverty, it held them back for decades. This chart shows Taiwan vs China in historical GDP. Taiwan is ethnically and culturally Chinese. The only real difference was governance. Taiwan's GDP took off starting in the 1960s and accelerating ever since. The CCP grossly lagged behind, only really starting to see growth in the last 20 years, since 2000, equivalent to where Taiwan was in the 1970s.

And MANY remain extremely poor in China today. China is two countries: a few rich big cities, and poor everywhere else. The CCP eradicated poverty by simply lowering the poverty line to $2.30 a day. And don't worry: the CCP's current policies are on track to utterly destroy its economy once it starts to launch its wars of aggression.

Tough firearm regulations allow us to walk down any street in the country at night with virtually no fear of harm. When we look at America’s enormous pandemic toll, gun violence, political divisions and the attack on the U.S. Capitol, it only reminds Chinese people of our own chaotic past that we have left behind.

None of this is meant to gloat over America’s troubles

Oh... yes it very much is meant to gloat.

And, for the record, gun violence in the US is actually very low as long as you're not a black gang member. The US COVID toll (the virus was created by the CCP in Wuhan) is fine, not world-leading, and everyone knows China had an enormous death toll that it simply covered up. Also, I have no idea why a CCP official would care about 1/6 at all except that he knows it is triggering to Democrats. China has left behind its chaotic past? Hardly. China is chaos even now. Look at Xinjiang. Riots and other small scale uprisings are extremely common in China, you just don't hear about them in the international press because they are ruthlessly suppressed and censored.

Shame on the NYT for pubishing this propaganda.
