China is calling Uncle Sam a big bully who needs to mind his own business. They took out an “Op-ed” in their state media outlet Xinhua to spell out their position, in minute detail. Antony Blinken seems to have really cheesed off the Chinese. Specifically, Foreign Minister Wang Yi, who Blinky cornered in Munich. They had a little face-to-face talk about how things are going, diplomatically. They aren’t going well at all. In fact, diplomacy is falling apart and we’re headed for global thermonuclear war.
China spells out details
China doesn’t have a very high opinion of Minister of State Antony Blinken. Blinky wants to think he scored points on stopping the spy balloons but missed the whole point Wang Yi was trying to make. Beijing decided to put their position on paper, literally. They published all the details. Spelled out in neat numbered outline form. Since Blinky won’t listen, maybe the American public will read it and beat some sense into him, they hope. Before they have to nuke San Francisco, or something.
Titled “U.S. Hegemony and Its Perils” and dated February 20, the unsigned report is causing quite a stir. The dictionary will tell you that “Hegemony is the political, economic, and military predominance of one state over other states.” The report makes it clear they think America is a bully and throwing our weight around. They spell the whole Greek theory out in Roman numerals.
You know you’re in for a wild ride when the “story” that opens up in your news feed lists a table of contents. In case you didn’t know what hegemony was, and why it’s getting the United States into “peril” with China, after the introduction, chapter I is “Political Hegemony — Throwing Its Weight Around.”

Those are followed by: “II. Military Hegemony — Wanton Use of Force; III. Economic Hegemony — Looting and Exploitation; IV. Technological Hegemony — Monopoly and Suppression; V. Cultural Hegemony — Spreading False Narratives.”
So, all the world’s problems, the report from China declares, can be blamed on Blinky throwing his weight around threatening wanton use of force while looting technology and exploiting Taiwan.
We want all the best tech for ourselves and are lying to serve our own interests. It’s a pretty heavy duty report so we’ll hit the highlights from the intro and conclusion.
‼️Since the Second World War, the world has been dominated by the United States, but the BRICS organization (an alliance of five states: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) will overthrow US hegemony.

U.S. a big bully
The United States is supposed to be the world’s most powerful country, China explains. After “the two world wars and the Cold War, the United States has acted more boldly to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, pursue, maintain and abuse hegemony, advance subversion and infiltration, and willfully wage wars, bringing harm to the international community.”
We stick our noses in everywhere and cause trouble wherever we go. “Clinging to the Cold War mentality, the United States has ramped up bloc politics and stoked conflict and confrontation. It has overstretched the concept of national security, abused export controls and forced unilateral sanctions upon others.” In other words, we need to mind our own business.
We can’t even respect China’s claim on Taiwan. Joe Biden’s regime “has taken a selective approach to international law and rules, utilizing or discarding them as it sees fit, and has sought to impose rules that serve its own interests in the name of upholding a ‘rules-based international order.‘” They expect their detailed report to wake Joe up.

“This report, by presenting the relevant facts, seeks to expose the U.S. abuse of hegemony in the political, military, economic, financial, technological and cultural fields, and to draw greater international attention to the perils of the U.S. practices to world peace and stability and the well-being of all peoples.”
After laying out their case, China concludes that America’s “hegemonic, domineering, and bullying practices of using strength to intimidate the weak, taking from others by force and subterfuge, and playing zero-sum games are exerting grave harm.” They want us to play nice. “The historical trends of peace, development, cooperation, and mutual benefit are unstoppable.” We need to stop bullying them around and leave Taiwan alone.
“The United States has been overriding truth with its power and trampling justice to serve self-interest. These unilateral, egoistic and regressive hegemonic practices have drawn growing, intense criticism and opposition from the international community.” International community being China, Russia and Iran. With Kim Jong Un and his rockets sitting on the sidelines. Xi Jinping just had a big meeting with Vlad Putin to sell him some weapons and had more big meetings with Iran, who has their uranium up to 84% pure. When they hit 90 they can build bombs. China and Russia already have plenty of thermonuclear toys in the box.
