What this all seems to coalesce into is; China is using their intellect rather than their emotions. They’re the ones being the most strategic here. Out of everyone. If we were playing Risk….China gonna win y’all. But we wouldn’t see it until it was too late. 🤷♀️ Soooo go China? Hope you won’t be as war-mongery as the last empire.
China is not wisely sitting things out while watching two tigers fight. More like China is one of a few armed men in a village beset by a lame old tiger turned man eater - watching out his window as the tiger mauls one of the village’s dogs. He can just watch, the dog is not his, he is himself in no immediate danger, as the tiger would not dare to attempt to invade his house. But the tiger isn’t going to just go away. While lame it may yet live for years. It is in pain and insatiably hungry. Its senses are yet keen. It watches the village and waits for opportunities to strike and kill when individuals are vulnerable. After Russia, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran etc. are dealt with the tiger will be stalking China.
I for one do not want to see China influenced by Donald Trump and the American Republicans! China should never sully its reputation by being involved with whimsical American policies. Too many of us in western nations as well as European nations, China has come a long way in governance of its people which is unique due to its size and it’s history. I envision a new world order emerging with China as a leading nation. Association with the United States of America right now would undo decades of economic and political growth in China.
Our western frame of mind only lets us recognize our own logics of resistance (in this case belic oriented). In our narcissism, eurocentric fashion we think our way to fight is the only one. They should see the Bruce Lee monologue on water..

It sounds like China is doing harm reduction right now and preparing if that zealot Hegseth decides to point the war cannons at them.

China doesn’t need to directly intervene militarily. It’s doing so in other ways to help Iran’s cause.
Always intelligent insight and commentary. If only more people could see what you speak.
