| China Says Its "Moderate" Defence Spending Rises Are No Threat |
By Reuters 2018-03-07
China will not be a threat to others -- This is determined by the long-standingly deep-rooted Chinese cultural tradition: China in history has always been adopting a strategically defensive military policy towards nomadic neighbors or modern imperialist aggressors and has many times peacefully assimilated invading foreign ethnic groups into her own culture; while in contrast Western tradition, most typically represented today by the U.S., ever since the Roman Empire, has been aggressive towards other areas, countries, ethnic and faith groups as sources of slaves and serfs, natural resources, other forms of wealth, markets for commodities and capital, or as scapegoats for social and natural disasters brought about by slave/serf owners, colonialists, monopoly capitalists and imperialists in their inhuman pursuit of selfish interests. Actually the biggest threat today to all others, to world peace and to the survival of the human race on Mother Earth comes from the Divided States of America, from the invested interest groups under the hegemonic capitalist system and the die-hard upholders of this most shameless and unavoidably declining capitalist-imperilist empire. The world's peoples cannot be cheated for too long. Capitalism will not be saved from its doom by any deceptive propaganda. -- The New Legalist editor |
