Many mistake the notion of the West adapting a social credit type system (as in China) with the idea that China wants to take over the world and dominate the West. In a similar way, many also assume that China, via its fake lockdown videos during the C19 pandemic, was somehow acting alone in lying and unleashing the SARSCOV2 virus on the world for control purposes. The manufactured crises and conflicts with China help this along, but China has no interest in becoming a world-dominator. Instead, these conflicts help to provide an enemy to the West, similar to the ‘evil Russians’ of the Cold War era. Maintaining a theatre of word conflict between ‘the West’ and China serves as a distraction to keep a level of fear in people, all the while leaders behind the scenes are carefully coordinating their narratives together. There is no point of ‘mutually-assured-destruction’ for those at the top, if even their worlds are destroyed. Western leaders and elites have been longing for a centrally-planned system for governing populations, especially since we in the West were starting to demand too much from our systems.
Before Nixon visited China in the 1970s, Kissinger and others were already working with China after WWII to ensure China developed out of poverty in a controlled way. The Cultural Revolution of the 50’s 60’s and 70’s in China ensured that the population was submissive and compliant to the State. This included public displays of ‘outing’ or cancelling people who showed signs of being too individual and so not in support of the collective or greater good. Fast forward to the 80s, with Deng Xiaoping leading the nation, China knew that they would need finances to maintain this system. It was hailed as ‘Capitalism with Chinese characteristics’ by those in power. Translation – controlled capitalism for the elites to profit, and to bring hundreds of millions of peasant-class out of poverty. This controlled experiment first resulted in the transfer of millions of middle class jobs from the West to Asia between the late 1980s till today. All aspects of manufacturing and engineering were included. Prior to the 1980s you would notice most consumer goods were manufactured in either Mexico, Taiwan, and prior to that, Japan. Those traditional factory jobs previously brought millions of Western people out of poverty throughout the 1900’s. China’s main expansion for this was in the “Special Economic Zone” (SEZ) around the Shenzhen area. It expanded and includes more than 100 million former peasant class citizens, who now mass-migrated into SEZ zones to do factory labor at an average rate of $150 to $200 USD per month. Around and above this working class grew a middle-class of managerial professionals, who would earn 10 to 20 times that of the laborers. And above them arose millionaire entrepreneurs who had State connections to run the major factories and businesses that profited from taking over the worlds’ manufacturing.
The end result of the decades of transfer was to reduce or decimate the working class/middle class of the West, in order to transfer this wealth to raise hundreds of millions of peasant Chinese out of poverty. The process took Socialist China into a society of ‘Socialism with Chinese characteristics’. Raised millions out of poverty, made a small middle class, and a very thin layer of wealthy elites.
The process the West is now going through can be described as the reverse. Michael Rectenwald describes it as ‘Socialism with Chinese Characteristics’. Whereas China added a thin layer of capitalism into their already socialist-for-all system, the West is adding a large layer of Socialism into their already capitalism-for-all system. The results will be similar: a huge swathe of just-above-poverty masses preaching and forced to practice Socialism for all, a tiny middle class, and a very thin layer of elites and wealthy who benefit from Capitalism via State-controlled and partnered mega corporations. This process was already underway for decades, the COVID19 ‘Great Reset’ simply accelerates this. From Rectenwald:
“The corporate socialist tendency is toward a two-tiered economy, with would-be monopolies and the state on top, and “actually existing socialism” for the majority. As Roger Scruton noted, “[a]ctually-existing socialism” is a “[t]erm used in the former communist countries to describe them as they really were, rather than as the official theory required them to be.”[12] Corporate socialism involves a new actually existing socialism. ‘Capitalism’ with Chinese characteristics, on the other hand, represents a play on the Chinese Communist Party’s description of its economic system. Several decades ago, as China’s growing reliance on the for-profit sectors of its economy could no longer be credibly denied by the CCP, its leadership approved the slogan “socialism with Chinese characteristics” to describe its economic system.[14] Formulated by Deng Xiaoping, the phrase became an essential component of the CCP’s attempt to rationalize Chinese capitalist development under a socialist political system.”
A small side-note on the ‘Chinese capitalist development’ plan. The controlled ‘Special Economic Zone’ in and around Shenzhen (Shenzhen SEZ), while under development throughout the early 2000’s, contained very obvious propaganda from the Party. Essentially ‘head down – mouth shut’:
