When everyone can see the deception what use is it?

Earlier this month China blocked the UN Security Council from listing Masood Azhar as a global terrorist for the fourth time. "Chinese strategies are based on learnings gleaned from thousands of years of history," wrote S Deb. "The most celebrated victories in Chinese history are not based on valour, but on deception." "For example, use Pakistan to keep India distracted." Using deception of being a friend of the West "China would borrow the techniques from the West to develop (its finance sector and industry) -- all with the active tutoring from institutions such as the World Bank and private firms such as Goldman Sachs. Meanwhile, the government, when it wasn't looking the other way, actively sanctioned and encouraged audacious programs to steal technology and Western intellectual property," wrote M Pillsbury. With government connivance "80% of the world's counterfeits -- estimated to be a $1.8 trillion industry -- are produced in China". Some in the US have woken up to the dangers posed by China. The Committee on Present Danger (CPD) which "was first established in the early 1950s as a bulwark against the influence of communism in the US" has been revived by a "group of Washington policy advisers and former US government officials including Steve Bannon". "China's arsenal for global supremacy includes economic, informational, political and military warfare," said J Fanell. To which the Chinese replied with their usual bromide, "We hope some people in the United States view China's development in proper perspective, stop groundless accusations and defamation against China..." Not just theory. US Marines are practicing how to seize small islands using precision-guided munitions and Stealth fighters, based on experience gained during World War II. This is to prepare for China's aggression in the Pacific. A war between the US and China could be catastrophic, a much better option is to tighten the noose around the Chinese economy. China and the US are engaged in talks to avert a full fledged trade war after both countries levied tariffs on imports from each other. The judiciary in China is merely an arm of the Communist Party and so whatever deal it may sign trade with China is never going to be fair. A rise in payday loans at astronomical interest rates maybe a sign that people are beginning to feel the effects of a slowing economy, even though people are still optimistic about the future. Trump has total support of Chinese dissidents living in the US. To get round the censorship of the Great Firewall, young people in China are creating 'hot words' which express their feelings about the state. To control every person China is developing a social credit system which will reward or punish people according to their subservience to the Party. As internal and external pressures build China will implode. India has to patiently guard its borders till then.
