What will happen now to the new Silk Road project deal between China and Italy? Vince Dhimos, Editor-in-Chief at New Silk Strategies (2016-present) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The West does brash and stupid things without considering the consequences, such as the murder of Gen. Soleimani, which resulted in a colossal backfire, with Iraq demanding the pull-out of US troops. They are now abandoning one base after the other under the pretext of coronavirus but in fact, they are afraid of rocket attacks, which they cannot defend against. The same principle is at work in the EU, whose foolish leaders criticized China and Russia for giving aid to individual countries, notably Italy, instead of giving it via the EU. This was a reckless criticism because it highlighted the inaction of the central EU government, which was helpless to aid Italy effectively. As a result, the EU looks foolish and petty. The correct strategy would be to thank China for its aid to an EU member. This rudeness on the part of Brussels will garner sympathy for Italy, which has already agreed to join the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative, previously, New Silk Road). It is now more likely that other countries will follow suit and join the BRI. This bullying on the part of Big Brother EU will only hasten the demise of the Union. https://www.quora.com/How-can-China-convince-the-world-that-their-Coronavirus-numbers-are-indeed-verified-and-accurate/answer/Vince-Dhimos How can China convince the world that their Coronavirus numbers are indeed verified and accurate? Vince Dhimos, Editor-in-Chief at New Silk Strategies (2016-present) China is not responsible for debunking US propaganda any more than a defendant in court is responsible for proving this innocence. The US is working 24/7 to smear China, and China does not need to do anything to prove its innocence. It is the Western side that must prove its allegations. The Western public is also responsible for dealing with this vicious propaganda. If it chooses to believe it and support the US Establishment in its self-destruction of its economy due to a senseless trade war and bans on Chinese goods and services, then it will have to live with the consequences, ie, much higher prices for necessities, possibly to the extent of hyperinflation. The government can lie all it wants, but it is up to you whether to swallow the lies. https://www.quora.com/Are-NATO-countries-planning-big-sanctions-against-China/answer/Vince-Dhimos Are NATO countries planning big sanctions against China? Vince Dhimos, Editor-in-Chief at New Silk Strategies (2016-present) I was unable to find any mention of actual sanctions. While the EU seems to be bowing deeply to openly racist Washington’s demands to sanction China, it has not yet imposed any that I know of. On the other hand, the EU is pressuring Germany to be less friendly with China, but that goes against the grain of German business people who have lucrative business partnerships with Chinese businesses and sell merchandise to them. France is also refusing to be cowed into sanctioning China. Sweden is one of the standouts. A rift with China started there when a family of Chinese tourists entered a hotel on allegedly the wrong date and were unable to secure lodging. They then put on a show and shouted that they were victims of discrimination. This incident blossomed into a full-fledged international row. Further, a Swedish organization that rewards apparent human rights victims awarded a Hong Kong publisher a prize after he was jailed for dissent, for sullying the Chinese state. (Like Julian Assange in the West). Even so, I was unable to determine that Sweden had directly sanctioned China. In fact, it went the other way with Sweden being sanctioned by the PRC. As for the UK, the leadership there tried to make concessions with Washington without losing out too much on trade. Pressured to sever all ties with the very competent tech company Huwei, on the US flimsy pretext that the company was supposedly going to install spyware, the UK simply cut back on the Huawei components they would install in their 5G system. We all need to step back and realize that the anti-China craze we are witnessing is the result of a new phenomenon of rudeness and unproven allegations by the current Washington regime. The allegations of unfair treatment to the Xinjiang Uighurs are unproven and in fact, there are many Uighur terrorists in Syria, showing that there are many extremists among this group which are seen as a threat to the Chinese. I had an untoward encounter with an Uighur in China who was trafficking in illegal wares and when I mentioned this to a cop he admitted that these people are hard to control and that it was best just to keep one’s distance. They don’t know what to do with them. As for the Hong Kong uprising, photos of the organizers with US embassy officials suggest that these are just more regime change shenanigans led by Washington, in an effort to bring down Beijing. Thus, it does not seem likely that the Europeans will bow too deeply to the trouble makers in Washington. Meanwhile, in the scramble to bully Europeans into curtailing their China trade, the US has made itself a nuisance that many European officials and business people are quietly hoping will blow away in next November’s elections.
