WE live in a world of paradoxes, that is, statements and ideas that seem to say two contrasting things but do not. In his 2023 State of the Union Address, President Joe Biden said, “I’ve made clear with President Xi that we seek competition, not conflict.” Three minutes to the US Congress: “Let’s be clear: winning the competition with China should unite all of us.”
As a side note, China’s GDP barely increased post-World War II until it started rising after Nixon’s 1972 visit, seeing an increase of 100 percent to year 2000. Its GDP then increased by 1,400 percent from 2000 to 2022 after President Bill Clinton “encouraged” and proposed China’s entry into the World Trade Organization coming eventually in 2001.
The effective functioning of the Silk Road trade during its roughly 1,500 years of existence has always seen China “winning” the competition. Silk textiles, highly coveted in Europe, were produced in Byzantium in 1400. But China had an absolute monopoly on the silk cloth as they did with tea until the Scottish botanist Robert Fortune stole Chinese tea plants and its tea-processing technique in 1847.
As they are writing about China’s evil intentions, they are taking some of the 80 percent of the world’s supply of Vitamin C produced in Chinese pharma plants. About 90 percent of all eyeglasses are made in China. Xi Jinping’s government is building 100 coal-fired power plants even as it funds a massive global PR campaign for solar energy.
