The West Perfecting Its Techniques to Hurt China
Share

REAL HELP: A Chinese doctor examines an African woman in a hospital in Mali, one of 30 hospitals in Africa built with the help of China (XINHUA)

Spanish Website Rebellion published an article titled The West Perfecting Its Techniques to Hurt China by U.S. writer, filmmaker and journalist Andre Vltchek on November 12, 2010. Excerpts from the article follow:

The West has absolutely no interest in human rights in China or anywhere else. How could it, considering that it is violating them on basically all continents, worldwide? Human rights are camouflaging the West's support for every group of people willing to antagonize, fight against or destroy any country or state that is communist or socialist in name or deeds.

Support for human rights is often synonymous with direct intervention in internal affairs, a hostile act against sovereign nation or with actually oppressing human rights or forcing a country to the brink of civil war. This approach had been "perfected" in Nicaragua, Cuba and Chile, among many other places and it is now being put to work in an attempt to destabilize China.

Support for human rights groups helped to bring down the former Soviet Union, it destroyed at one point almost all revolutions and popular movements in Latin America (except in Cuba) and it was used as justification for some of the most horrid interventions (by the West), that included acts of mass murder and genocide against people of Viet Nam and Laos.

Tactics that were at work—to first discredit and then destroy all communist and socialist, progressive and nationalist states, governments and movements including the former Soviet Union, Cuba, Nicaragua, North Korea, Chile, Tanzania, and recently Venezuela—were considered useful until this day. Now they are more refined, (more people and technology are involved) and much more effective than at any time in the past. After all, the task that Western global dictatorship defined for itself is tremendous: China—the most populated nation on Earth.

The fact that China is historically peaceful, non-confrontational and very successful makes the task much more difficult. On top of that, China violates human rights to a much less extent than all Western allies in the Asia-Pacific region including Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand and definitely much less than the West itself. After all, the West is presently (indirectly) involved in massacres in Congo/DRC (at least 5 million have died there), in destabilizing the entire Horn of Africa and parts of Latin America and in aggressive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to name just a few lethal adventures.

To discredit China takes enormous effort, but it seems that no task is too great for those in the West who would happily sacrifice the entire Earth for their unbridled desire to control and rule.

Equipped with the "world language," limitless funds and absolute access to, and control over, the media, Western propaganda planners are managing to twist facts and manipulate global public opinion. In the meantime, China is playing clean and fair, hoping its good intentions, deeds and non-confrontationist attitude will win friends and allies. But in our world controlled by colonial and post-colonial empires with hundreds of years of experience in conquering and oppressing the planet—being good and peaceful is not always a guarantee for avoiding confrontation, even for survival!

The Western population is increasingly hostile toward China and it is not because it knows about it or understands it, but because of propaganda by which it is being bombarded day and night. Tens of thousands of men and women in media and academia have no other purpose in professional life than to bash China; to discredit it, to make it appear as evil. China bashing is now an excellent career, one of the best ways to get academic or research grants or rise on the corporate media ladder.
