Peter Hartcher: In Xi Jinping's effort to make China No. 1, he's forgotten the basics

Xi Jinping has set China the goal of leading the world in cutting edge technology, but has overlooked the very basics. While the regime is pursuing quantum computing, artificial intelligence and space dominance, it has neglected one of the founding concepts of physics. Isaac Newton's third law says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

China was not the enemy, he said, yet it was a clear and present danger: "They already have the second-largest defence budget. They are investing heavily in modern military capabilities, including missiles that can reach all NATO-allied countries." AsIllustration: John ShakespeareAnd China was no longer an Asia-only military force, according to the NATO chief. China was "coming closer to us", he said, and "we see Chinese forces in the Arctic, in Africa.

And Britain is rethinking its embrace of China's cyber champion, Huawei. Government MPs have been angered by Beijing's behaviour over the pandemic and forced Prime Minister Boris Johnson to review whether the company will be allowed any part in its 5G network.But whatever the politics, putting Beijing at the centre of NATO's concerns is a historic shift.

In the same vein, Twitter last week killed 170,000 Chinese government-linked accounts that were used to push fake news about the Hong Kong protests, coronavirus and the Black Lives Matter demonstrations. Twitter was prompted by research by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute.

mikhailhkmy wants to make it moraless

This is gold: 'for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction'. I think this is precisely what Luttwak meant when he said China is 'autistic'.

The face of Evil‼

It would be disastrous for the world to have a morally and ethically tyrannical regime drive the global trends!!

HKWORLDCITY In his effort to make China no. 1 and dominate the world, China has effectively made itself the rivalry of the free world and the terminator of universal values.

China, under absolute dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party, is an extreme threat to freedom and human rights worldwide. The free world must unite and stop their aggression to take over the world! Chinazi CCPChinaJudgmentDay CCP

HKWORLDCITY Thuggish spokesman from CCP and irresponsible behaviours. Exporting frauds and National force stealing IP. Ignoring treaties and agreements signed.... Thuggish in all ways.

HKWORLDCITY Xitler is successful in making CCPChina No. 1 enemy in the free world

HKWORLDCITY What a joke china. 1.3 billion poor

BLM! The white European Australian ruling caste here since first contact are the same. Their record of xenophobic and racist terrors on us pales in comparison to what Germanic NAZIS did for the glory of a German Europe!

China warms to idea of four more years of Trump in White HouseChina believes that the benefit of the erosion of America's postwar alliance network would outweigh any damage to China from continued trade disputes. This propaganda is just ridiculous now. Fire your intelligence assets and get back to proper journalism, . Of course they would. Trump is a joke. He is leading his nation to oblivion. Seeing the US threatening war with China, & has ringed them with military bases, only an idiot in their position would want 4 more Trump years. But unlike US, they don't do interference in other lands nytimes AJEnglish Why would enemies of the USA not want Trump? Divide and conquer. Trump is doing half of the enemy's work for them.

'This is not right, this is not fair, this is not humanity': Melbourne actor sentenced to deathFriends of an Australian actor and motivational speaker sentenced to death in China on drug charges have launched a campaign urging the federal government to do more to secure his release | Things are very tough. It’s like China money. In one point it’s easy to bedevil them not to mention after the labwork and the course of the conquest loans. Especially when you’re nobody. In other point the rush is hard when you’re under their roles and they make it shinny. A glowing review of the man with little to no actual information, nailed it again guys Without knowing all the facts I believe this is just another example of the CCP punishing Aus. Clearly if he did have drugs he is not innocent but executing him is not because of that it is payback.
