China spans the equivalent of five time zones and borders fourteen countries by land, the most of any country in the world, tied with Russia. With an area of approximately 9.6 million square kilometres (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the world's third largest country by total land area. The country consists of 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, and two special administrative regions ([[Hong Kong]] and [[Macau]]). The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and largest financial center is Shanghai. It was the focus of a lot of trade agreements with [[Asian]] and [[European]] countries in the [[1900s]].

China (中国) was a major supplier of goods and minerals for a lot of antibiotics and plastic to Europe and the US. Until 2020 it was a major supplier of material goods to much of the rest of the world, particularly North America and Europe. The COVID-19 panic disrupted this pattern and so caused uncertainty about its continuing to do so.

Early background
It is the world's most populous country, with a population exceeding 1.4 billion, slightly more than India. China spans the equivalent of five time zones and borders fourteen countries by land, the most of any country in the world, tied with Russia. With an area of approximately 9.6 million square kilometres (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the world's third largest country by total land area. The country consists of 22 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, and two special administrative regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and largest financial center is Shanghai. It was the focus of a lot of trade agreements with Asian and European countries in the 1900s. China invented several vital pieces of modern day inventions, from gunpowder and paper to the compass.[1]
In WW2 China defended itself from a Japan invasion (launched by a false flag known as the Marco Polo incident), following a civil war between communists and capitalism supported by foreign elements. As the communist Chinese faction won, the other side fled to Taiwan and lost its role in the UN/SC.[2][3][4]

On March 29, 2017, The Chinese government banned "abnormal" beards or veils[8] in its heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang[9], stating that the rules were necessary to necessary to fight "extremism".[10] The Daily Mail also stated that everyone would be forced to watch or listen to state media, and that all cars in the province be fitted with a GPS tracking device.[8]
"Strike Hard Campaign against Violent Terrorism"

The Strike Hard Campaign is a research project into repressive social control run in Xinjiang. In 2018 the BBC accused China of "locking up hundreds of thousands of Muslims without trial in its western region of Xinjiang", and reported that the Chinese government denies the claims, saying people willingly attend special “vocational schools” which combat “terrorism and religious extremism”.[11]
Internet Censorship

Internet/Censorship

CNN reports that China spends millions of dollars on software to enable internet censorship, and that it began controlling its citizens' Internet access in the mid-1990s.[12] China reportedly has "around two million people policing public opinion online"[13] In 2015, CNN suggested that about 1 to 3% of Chinese Internet users regularly jump the Firewall to browse the open Internet.[12] Microsoft has produced software which censors particular topics such as the Tianenman Square Massacre. Wikipedia is reportedly blocked in some parts of China.[14]

Technology
China destroyed its tech giants. Here's why., 9 October 2019, TechAltar |
- Full article: US-China trade war
- Full article: US-China trade war
Although the Cold War 2.0 concept was originally formulated with Russia in mind, China has emerged as a focus of the US Deep State. Controlled media focused on China's rapidly[17] structural influence in technology, even being responsible with their state companies such as Huawei[18][19] for securing European governments their vital ministerial departments.
As a result of the shutdown of many parts of the global supply chain in the late 2010s, Taiwan came under scrutiny[20][21] for being the de facto sole supplier of computer chips (or semiconductors specifically) for a wide variety of products.
Shortages for every product requiring computer chips, tariffs by the US & EU and increased tensions surrounding Taiwan and Hong Kong, caused prices for computer chips and similar components to skyrocket in 2020, making the world extremely[22] dependent on a rapid recovery of the Chinese (or Asian) economy[23].
The Chinese government has been pursuing policies consonant with those of the supranational deep state, although several incidents in 2023 such as that of a few spy balloons show it's increasingly spying on North American countries as well.[24]
“The US believes a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that was shot down over its territory is part of a wider fleet that has spanned five continents.
"The United States was not the only target of this broader programme," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. He added that the US had shared information gathered from the balloon debris with dozens of other countries. China has denied the balloon was being used for spying purposes, and says it was a weather device blown astray.

Its presence in US airspace set off a diplomatic crisis and prompted Secretary Blinken to immediately call off a trip to China - the first such high level US-China meeting there in years. It was later shot down by a US fighter jet off the eastern coast.
Citing unnamed officials, the Washington Post reported that the US believes the suspected surveillance balloon project was being operated from China's coastal Hainan province and targeted countries including Japan, India, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines.”

In September 2023, Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stated that the shot-down balloon wasn't spying. "The intelligence community, their assessment – and it's a high-confidence assessment – [is] that there was no intelligence collection by that balloon," he said, and presumably was a regular weather balloon blown off-track.[26]
Bitcoin
Cryptocurrency along with the Euro was called a WMD by friend of Elon Musk and deep state actor Peter Thiel.
The Nixon Seminar - Peter Thiel on Cryptocurrency |
China was once the world’s biggest cryptocurrency centre, accounting for ~70% of the total hash rate — or processing power — of the bitcoin network. China banned crypto in 2021, or more precise the power-intensive process that leads to the creation of new digital currency. That resulted in several miners fleeing to other countries, including the U.S. and Kazakhstan, which borders China. Chinese millionaires quickly set up D.U.M.B-bases to mine crypto secretly.[27]

2021 | “In a blunt opening statement before the talks in private, Mr Anthony Blinken said the US would "discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies". "Each of these actions threaten the rules-based order that maintains global stability," he said. In response, Mr Yang Jiechi accused Washington of using its military might and financial supremacy to suppress other countries. "It abuses so-called notions of national security to obstruct normal trade exchanges, and incite some countries to attack China," he added. Mr Yang said human rights in the US were at a low point, with black Americans being "slaughtered".” | March 2021 | BBC |

"Racism" | “Chinese authorities, bolstered by technology, arbitrarily and indefinitely detaining Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang en masse for actions and behavior that are not crimes under Chinese law. And yet Chinese authorities continue to make wildly inaccurate claims that their “sophisticated” systems are keeping Xinjiang safe by “targeting” terrorists “with precision.”” | 1 May 2019 | |
"Strike Hard Campaign" | “The Strike Hard Campaign has shown complete disregard for the rights of Turkic Muslims to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. In Xinjiang, authorities have created a system that considers individuals suspicious based on broad and dubious criteria, and then generates lists of people to be evaluated by officials for detention. Official documents state that individuals “who ought to be taken, should be taken,” suggesting the goal is to maximize the number of people they find “untrustworthy” in detention. Such people are then subjected to police interrogation without basic procedural protections. They have no right to legal counsel, and some are subjected to torture and mistreatment, for which they have no effective redress, as we have documented in our September 2018 report. The result is Chinese authorities, bolstered by technology, arbitrarily and indefinitely detaining Turkic Muslims in Xinjiang en masse for actions and behavior that are not crimes under Chinese law.” | 1 May 2019 | |
2021 | “In a blunt opening statement before the talks in private, Mr Anthony Blinken said the US would "discuss our deep concerns with actions by China, including in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, Taiwan, cyber attacks on the United States, economic coercion of our allies".

2023 | “Dozens of versions of the above war-game scenario have been enacted over the last few years, most recently in April by the House Select Committee on competition with China. And while the ultimate outcome in these exercises is not always clear — the U.S. does better in some than others — the cost is. In every exercise the U.S. uses up all its long-range air-to-surface missiles in a few days, with a substantial portion of its planes destroyed on the ground. In every exercise the U.S. is not engaged in an abstract push-button war from 30,000 feet up like the ones Americans have come to expect since the end of the Cold War, but a horrifically bloody one. Soldiers of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army hold up shotguns. And that’s assuming the U.S.-China war doesn’t go nuclear.” | Michael Hirsh | September 2023 |
Annalena Baerbock | “As European democracies and part of a transatlantic democratic alliance, we are also in systemic competition with an authoritarian regime like China” | Annalena Baerbock | 5 December 2021 |
COVID-19/Zero Covid | “Nearly three years into the pandemic, China is sticking with a strict COVID-19 containment policy that has caused mounting economic damage and widespread frustration, while keeping its borders shut for most international travel.
China has yet to describe when or how it will begin to exit from an approach that it calls "dynamic zero". China says it recognises domestic outbreaks are inevitable, and its policies are not geared towards having zero cases at all times but instead, are about "dynamically" taking action when cases surface. Dynamic-zero is two-pronged - prevention and containment. This year has seen the intensification of both aspects as the highly transmissible Omicron variant spread across China. Prevention focuses on early detection through regular PCR tests, especially in cities, where a recent negative result can be a requirement to enter a business or public facility. Potential or suspected cases are isolated at home or placed under quarantine at a government-supervised facility. Those deemed close contacts of infected people must quarantine, and even distant or potential contact can result in an order to stay home. Control tactics, aimed at swiftly cutting off transmission chains to forestall outbreaks, involve quarantining cases at government-supervised facilities and locking down buildings, communities or even entire cities. Since March 2020, China's borders have remained shut to most visitors. Arrivals of all nationalities are subject to seven days of quarantine at a facility and three days of home isolation. Each person's PCR test result is electronically logged on government databases, as well as one's travel history, which is tracked by mobile phone signals. People must keep a "normal" COVID profile with continual negative test results, no contact with infected people and no visits to risky places. Profiles are maintained on mobile phone "health kits". An abnormal profile bars access to public venues and mass transit, and can even require home quarantine for days with electronic seals attached to doors to enforce isolation. Profiles can without warning turn abnormal - indicated by a change in colour or the dreaded appearance of a pop-up window - if one was at a mall visited by an infected person or if one was a contact of a close contact. Sometimes profiles become abnormal even if all the requirements are met. Visits to other cities or provinces may require quarantine on arrival. Lockdowns, which can be at the building level or much wider, can be sudden. A single case can trigger the lockdown of a building or residential compound, which means people cannot leave. Some lockdowns have lasted for months. Entire cities can be locked down with only hours of notice. Big cities that have been shut, sometimes more than once, include Shanghai, Xian, Chengdu, Tianjin, Shenzhen and even entire provinces and regions such as Xinjiang, Tibet and Jilin. China argues that its policy saves lives. The authorities acknowledge Omicron is far less likely to cause serious health issues but say its high transmissibility means large outbreaks would lead to a run on medical resources and expose vulnerable groups, including hundreds of millions of elderly people. China's official death toll had stayed near just 4,600 since 2020 until more than 560 fatalities struck Shanghai in April and May, spurring other cities to further enhance their COVID defences. Chinese health authorities predicted last month that for every 100,000 infections there would be at least 100 deaths. China has yet to approve any foreign vaccines or any domestically made shots based on mRNA technology. Authorities have also not pushed for a quicker pace of vaccination this year, compared with a big vaccination campaign in 2021. As of Tuesday, 3.44 billion doses had been administered, with over 90% of China's population fully vaccinated. But only around 60% of the general population has received booster shots. About 80% of those aged 60 and above have had additional doses.” | Reuters William Ballard | 2022 |
Jimmy Carter | ““Well, he might be escalating it but I think that precedes Trump,” he said. “The United States has been the dominant character in the whole world and now we’re not anymore. And we’re not going to be. Russia’s coming back and India and China are coming forward.”” | Jimmy Carter New York Times | 2017 |
Cold War II | “The United States remains the world’s leading power with global interests, and it cannot afford to choose between Europe and the Indo-Pacific. Instead, Washington and its allies should develop a defense strategy capable of deterring and, if necessary, defeating Russia and China at the same time.” | Atlantic Council Matthew Kroenig | 18 February 2022 |
Donald Trump/Presidency | “We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing, it's the greatest theft in the history of the world” | Donald Trump | May 2016 |
Li Keqiang | “Smog is affecting larger parts of China, and environmental pollution has become a major problem, which is nature's red-light warning against the model of inefficient and blind development.” | Li Keqiang Xi Keqiang | 2014 |
Li Keqiang | “In the 90s, several dispensaries of the Government of Henan Province (led at the time by Li) launched a blood trade, exploiting the poverty of many farmers. The lack of hygiene in the transfusions helped spread the HIV virus in the country. In subsequent years, the future prime minister used every form of censorship and repression to prevent the truth from emerging.” | Li Keqiang Asianews.it | 2012 |
Li Keqiang | “Reform is 'the biggest dividend' for China.” | Li Keqiang Xi Keqiang | 2013 |
Bernard Montgomery | “The next war on land will be very different from the last one, in that we shall have to fight it in a different way. In reaching a decision on that matter, we must first be clear about certain rules of war. Rule 1, on page I of the book of war, is: "Do not march on Moscow". Various people have tried it, Napoleon and Hitler, and it is no good. That is the first rule. I do not know whether your Lordships will know Rule 2 of war. It is: "Do not go fighting with your land armies in China". It is a vast country, with no clearly defined objectives, and an army fighting there would be engulfed by what is known as the Ming Bing, the people's insurgents.” | Bernard Montgomery | 30 May 1962 |
James O'Neill | “Throughout 2020 the Chinese progressively barred imports from Australia, or imposed swingeing tariffs. The professed reasons for doing so by the Chinese were a fig leaf. The intention was clearly to damage Australian exports, and it succeeded, with volumes of goods sold to China dropping dramatically throughout 2020 and into 2021. It was not just exports that were affected. China was also the largest source of foreign students in Australian universities, a multi-billion-dollar source of revenue. Literally hundreds of Australian university staff have been laid off in recent months. The Chinese government is openly advising students to look elsewhere for their education. | James O'Neill | 2021 |
Plasma Economy | “In the 90s, several dispensaries of the Government of Henan Province (led at the time by Li) launched a blood trade, exploiting the poverty of many farmers.

Social media | “Social media manipulation was pioneered by Israel in 2009, during its Gaza offensive, not by Russia and China. The UK and the US both have had online "psychological operations" for years. Calling out some actors but giving others a free pass does little to address the problem.” | Clare Daly | 10 December 2021 |
Donald Trump | “We owe China $1.3 trillion. We owe Japan more than that. So they come in, they take our jobs, they take our money, and then they loan us back the money, and we pay them in interest, and then the dollar goes up so their deal's even better. How stupid are our leaders? How stupid are these politicians to allow this to happen? How stupid are they?” | Donald Trump | June 2015 |

2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine | In a new episode of Cold War 2.0 Russia forcefully halted NATO expansion by invading Ukraine, with financial support of China. Although the EU and US denounced the "war crimes" as multiple cities were bombed, several countries opted less severe sanctions to keep importing diamonds and luxury goods and gas (and their loaned money) from Russia, seemingly creating a new iron curtain in Eastern Europe. |
