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.

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
