The world’s most dangerous terrorist

Never has it been more obvious that the most dangerous and destructive global terrorist organisation in the world is the United States of America. Unbridled and arrogant US superiority is a consequence of the "full-spectrum global dominance" the US deliberately sought to build following the fall of the Soviet Union 30bricsyears ago. US' economic and military dominance enables it to dictate the terms of one-sided relationships with all other countries – and to proceed largely unchallenged.

In recent months, rampant US terrorism has been evidenced by blatant support of Israel's genocidal murder of Palestinians, airstrikes on Yemen, airstrikes on Iran and Syria, killing thousands of Gaza civilians and destroying the entire infrastructure of Palestine. The images of maimed and killed children in Gaza (over 11,500) and their grieving parents (if they have not also been killed) are just heart-breaking. US bombs and missiles delivered by Israel – the US must be seen has complicit in these war crimes.

US terror' tactics were also reflected in the Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine conflicts – all wars that were (or are being) lost by the US but resulted in many thousands of civilian deaths and widespread destruction of homes, hospitals, schools, businesses and national infrastructures.

Biden's "justification" for recent air attacks on Iraq (killing over 40) was that they were in retaliation for three US military personnel being killed by drones from an unidentified attacker. "They were killed by weapons supplied by Iraq and so Iraq must be held responsible". What mindless, ignorant duplicity Biden shows when the US has supplied Israel with the weapons to murder over 30,000 Palestinians. Who is the real terrorist here?

The US has encircled southern and eastern China with a fearsome array of military bases. It conducts provocative military exercises right on China's doorstep. This is the US response to a fear of China's rise to superpower status. Is this fear a key factor driving the US' increasingly belligerent military adventures around the world?

US loss of dominance is the new reality. The US now lags economically and socially behind China in every area of activity, except perhaps OFFENSIVE military capability. In healthcare, pharmaceuticals, hospitals, housing, road, rail and air transportation, clean power, fusion energy research, employment, education at all levels, scientific research, electric vehicles, computing, space exploration, the environment, conservation and sustainability, tourism and general manufacturing - China is now ahead of the US - far ahead in some cases – and their lead is increasing.

China is also arguably ahead in truly DEFENSIVE military capacity. It has built land-, air- and sea-based military forces focused solely on protecting its homeland. It has virtually no overseas military bases, does not contribute militarily to overseas "skirmishes" and has no military "treaties" with other countries. It is at the forefront of providing humanitarian aid where needed.

China's Constitution contains no rhetoric with ill-defined terms like "freedom and liberty" and there is certainly nothing about "the right to bear arms". The Constitution AND China's actions adhere to five clear and precise principles:

1. Showing mutual respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity, mutual non-aggression and non-interference in other country's internal affairs.
2. Promoting equality and mutual benefit between countries in peaceful coexistence and adhering to a path of peaceful development.
3. Developing diplomatic relations and economic and cultural exchanges with other countries and working to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
4. Consistent opposition to imperialism, hegemonism and colonialism, working to strengthen unity with the people of other countries, supporting oppressed and developing nations.
5. Striving to safeguard world peace and promote the cause of human progress.

Despite all the anti-China propaganda from the West, China never deviates from these five principles – either in its diplomatic pronouncements OR in its actions.

While the US is building walls to keep people out, China, Thailand and The Philippines are introducing visa-free travel between their countries. Foreigners (including Americans) are finding it increasingly easier to obtain visas to visit China – let us hope that more people will see the real China – not the fictitious "bad China" depicted in Western media. People willing to contribute their expertise to the Chinese economy or society can now more readily obtain a resident visa.

Chinese diplomacy based on mutual respect and genuine win-win cooperation is clearly gaining favour with an increasing array of international partners.

The inter-government economic organization BRICS now has nine Members. Another fifteen countries have formally applied to join BRICS and a further twenty countries have expressed interest to join. Between 2009 and 2024, sixteen summit meetings have been held. Bilateral relations among BRICS countries are conducted on the basis of non-interference, equality, and mutual benefit – clearly reflecting the aims of the Chinese Constitution.

The China-initiated Belt and Road Initiative is a proven success. In its first ten years, two-way trade between BRI countries has exceeded USD 300 billion. Newly-signed contracts for road and rail infrastructure, ports, power generation and industrial modernisation exceed USD 1.2 trillion. By 2030, the Word Bank estimates that the BRI will bring an annual benefit to the world of USD 1.6 trillion, representing 1.3% of global GDP. The prolific negative Western propaganda that China was creating "debt traps" for developing countries participating the BRI has been repeatedly debunked.

China's positive diplomacy is increasingly accepted around the world, particularly by "global south" countries shaking off the negative exploitation of colonialism. The gap between the US and China is widening because the US is focused on repressing Chinese economic and social development rather than on improving the well-being of Americans and other countries. In fact, by almost any measure, the well-being of Americans is deteriorating. US politics and business are corrupt and dysfunctional and provide benefit only for the 1% most wealthy elite.

44% of Chinese people are self-employed. More than 90% vote in elections every five years, even though voting is not compulsory. More than 90% approve of their government and believe that it is successfully improving the welfare of the Chinese people. China arguably has the most consultative form of social democracy in the world. People are nominated and elected to government positions on the basis of education, experience, quality of character and merit – not on the basis of the extent of financial backing by special-interest lobbyists or on superficial popularity as happens in the West.

China has the largest middle class population in the world, which is supporting its rapid development. Sure, the Chinese communist/socialist economy has adopted some elements of capitalism - but these are closely regulated by the government for the benefit of the Chinese people. In 2009, Xi declared that housing was for living in - not for speculation. Regulations were passed to limit speculative investment, thereby countering the rampant forces of greed that have made housing economically unattainable for many in the West.

The Chinese people have over 90% home ownership (often involving 70 year landhold leases) compared to 60% to 65% in the US, UK and Canada

China has reduced corruption and criminality throughout government and society. It has greatly reduced inequality of status, income and wealth. The Chinese people have great confidence and satisfaction in their government and count themselves as being free, safe and happy.

Chinese society is becoming increasingly everything that the US aspires to be, but US leadership repeatedly denies the Chines credit for their modernization and other successful social achievements. It attempts to hide the US' dismal failures from its people and seems powerless to address issues of gun control and crime.

Most of the world can see that the US social and political model is failing rapidly. Are people in the US also finally coming to realise that they have lost their global supremacy - that their society is disintegrating - that the US obsession with "freedom and de-regulation" has been seriously misplaced – that their hatred of communism and attempted suppression of Chinese development have backfired?

Is the US' growing military terrorism across the world the result of a desperate "lashing out" by a humiliated bully? A country realizing that their superior way of life is a mirage. How many more innocents will have to die before the US implodes – or can we hope for a more peaceful revolution to end the terror wreaked by the United States?

Unfortunately, Australia (and other US allies) are just two heartbeats behind the US in deserving complicity in the disastrous conflicts incited by the US' hunger for dominance. Australia lost its sovereignty many years ago to the US military machine and successive governments have slavishly followed the US on most of its destructive misadventures.

China is by far the best hope for peace in our region (the world?) but Australia is being lined up to fight a war on behalf of the US over Taiwan. Many can see this happening, but no-one seems to know how to stop the impending disaster.
