\u201cSecuring our freedoms from the Chinese Communist Party is the mission of our time!<\/em><\/a> and<\/p>\n \u201cIf the free world doesn\u2019t change Communist China, Communist China will change us,\u201d<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2013 it\u2019s time to see the danger that is mounting.<\/p>\n During the last few months, a systematic Sinophobic (anti-China) policy has been rolled out all over the world by the US and its obedient mainstream media. It is so uniform in content and style that it deserves to be categorized as a \u2018campaign.\u2019<\/p>\n It has nothing to do with critical media, questioning and diversity of perspectives. You are being taken for a ride!<\/p>\n It revolves around the following 7 themes \u2013 all negative, of course: CCP\/Dictatorship, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hongkong, Taiwan, human rights, China as a threat in several ways, particularly militarily.<\/p>\n \u2022<\/p>\n A new US\/Western Cold War with China is the top thing neither needs and the rest of the world also does not need.<\/p>\n We need all intellectual, creative and economic resources now to solve humanity\u2019s problems \u2013 those before the Corona and those that the Corona is creating, including a world economic crisis, bigger class differences and more nationalism.<\/p>\n For the US itself, starting such a Cold War in addition to the one already in place against Russia will be self-defeating. At this moment of global history, the US has a manifest, declining destiny and such a Cold War will only accelerate that decline and the fall of the United States and its Empire (the first will be terrible, the latter is desirable).<\/p>\n Cold War thinking in this situation must be countered. It puts humanity\u2019s future, the future of all of us, at risk. No one has the right to do that for selfish purposes. No single nation should follow the US down that road.<\/p>\n It simply must not happen.<\/p>\n Therefore, Westerners and Chinese of all walks of life must now be mobilised to come together and prevent this strategy from taking hold. It\u2019s high time to shout with the Danish philosopher, Piet Hein: It\u2019s co-existence or no existence!<\/em><\/p>\n No one is threatening the US, it\u2019s citizens or lifestyle. The Chinese do not want to develop and become masters of a new world empire. It\u2019s simply not part of their thinking and attitude to the rest of the world. It never was. Chinese influence around the world comes neither with a Bible nor a Sword. It\u2019s essentially defensive and non-missionary.<\/p>\n Sadly, the US seems, fundamentally, to be unable to live without imaginations of an enemy.<\/p>\n At the moment the main ones are China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Syria \u2013 and even the allies are scolded for not doing this or that and forced to apply secondary US sanctions on Iran, Russia etc. \u2013 at tremendous costs to Iran and the allies themselves.<\/p>\n In addition, the US has left one international agreement and organisation after the other \u2013 grumpy, threatening, hurt, arrogant \u2013 whatever youare inclined to call it: It\u2019s self-defeating.<\/p>\n The world is no longer bully-able, doesn\u2019t obey orders, won\u2019t be mastered or exploited any longer.<\/p>\n The world has changed already \u2013 by will and by necessity: Towards multipolarity and cooperation or, as the Indian slogan goes \u2013 unity in diversity. The US \u2013 and perhaps NATO and the EU \u2013 will have to adapt or they will become obsolete.<\/p>\n Fortunately, many Americans see the writing on the domestic as well as global walls.<\/p>\n I\u2019d like you to carefully study one such brilliant and visionary initiative and support it. It\u2019s called \u201cPivot to Peace\u201d<\/a>. It is, in my view, spot on.<\/p>\n Read its mission, its very sensible analyses and sign its Mission Statement.
