CHINA HAS NO ALLIES, ONLY DEPENDENTS **China has no allies. She only has dependents.** This principle is central to east asian thought. There are no equals. In all circumstances someone is superior and another is subordinate. When confucius could not solve the problem of politics he directed all men to organize into a paternal hierarchy, from the emperor on down to the new born child. When chinese history says ‘middle kingdom’ they mean ‘the center of the world’ with them at the top. Chinese thought requires the preservation of harmony – meaning non disruption of the status hierarchy. Even if that means doing everything possible to avoid speaking the truth. Chinese strategy, is to delay and deceive, while building up offensive and defensive capability, until a competitor can no longer even negotiate, but simply obey. This is a very paternal model of thought. It is not necessarily a bad one, for the simple reason that chinese pursuit of harmony, and parenting is somewhat grounded in their (rather questionable) morality. That said, they will kill millions of their own happily if necessary, and have far less regard for human life than westerners (or indo europeans in general) do or can even imagine. So no, **China has no allies, she has only enemies, subordinates, and candidate subordinates.** This is all you really need to understand about Chinese policy, culture, and civilization. Just as heroism sovereignty, reciprocity and truth are all you need to understand the west. In this sense we are not very compatible civilizations.

—“If you were the President, and you wanted to destroy America’s power in the world and unity as a nation, what would you do?”—
This assumes American power is good thing (empirically, we have pretty much always been wrong in every single conflict). And it assumes it’s not a good idea to withdraw from the burden of continuing the British Empire’s network of finance and trade despite having dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of ignorance, poverty, and disease in the face of competition from marxism, communism, socialism, and its modern variation: islam. We are no longer asymmetrically advantaged either technologically, economically, or militarily, and we have even lost our demographic superiority through vast underclass immigration. So while the minds of children make moral and emotinoal judgements, those of us who have adult minds make empirical judgemnts. The answer is pretty simple: we can’t finance the world transformation from superstition to empiricism any longer because enough of the world has adopted our aristotelianism (empiricism, science, technology, law, markets) that it has been costing us quality of life since the 70’s. in other words, VIRTUE SIGNALING SO THAT YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF IS NO LONGER AFFORDABLE. But to answer the question: I would create power vacuums as did Obama and Carter rather than demand vacuums be filled by depriving other countries of subsidies. But this requires you understand not only economics, but capital. And strangely enough, mainstream (saltwater) economics, does not measure capital changes, only consumption.

End The Immigration of Labor
The nuclear family lets itself to a village where extended family is nearby and children move between households to provide labor rather than paying the cost of slaves. (really, that’s the answer). The nuclear family requires very cheap land. This is probably the most overlooked cost. The benefit of the nuclear household and shared labor, is that (a) it’s possible for family capital to be mobile, (b) it prevents dysgenia from slavery, (c) delays childbirth, and (d) prevents dysgenia from underclass reproduction. The nuclear family is also superior under early capitalism where we move people to capital. The problem is, it’s destructive. Move capital to people rather than people to capital. END IMMIGRATION OF LABOR.

We Are Always Wrong
You know, if we had let the soviets expand their ‘communism’ into the islamic countries, they would have crushed islamism, enforced education, and removed muslim illiteracy as well as superstition. Yet their economies would have eventually failed as all socialist economies do. And then they would have transferred to consumer capitalism and markets out of envy rather than resistance. We are always wrong. Kings were far better than democracies.

I prefer Corporate government in the Chinese (or German) model, insular strategy
I prefer Corporate government in the Chinese (or German) model, insular strategy in the Han model, but northern european ethics, legal system, value of human life, arts – particularly our speaking the truth regardless of impact on the status hierarchy – and Slavic family culture.

China can tolerate greater harm because her political structure is willing to to
China can tolerate greater harm because her political structure is willing to tolerate harm, rather than lose face. However, invalidating chinese debt, and closing all technological imports would lead to disintegration of the ruling party. So it is a question of culture not war.
