Quote from: seoulbro post_id=420223 time=1631305747 user_id=114............... BRI membership comes with a vague promise that BRI projects will increase a country's GDP by more than the amount needed to repay its debt. But so far,



the vast majority of BRI projects have failed to make other countries rich.



In fact, BRI debt is weighing down the economies of some of the world's poorest nations.

Yes. This has been known for some time but not talked about much.



They are greatly harming many poor countries, but the plan was mainly to control them via dependence and that works

Reverse imperialism.

Canada is not in this proactive security partnership.



US, UK, Australia Announce New Security Partnership Amid Rising Chinese Influence



The United States, the UK, and Australia on Sept. 15 announced a new trilateral security partnership for the Indo-Pacific, amid rising Chinese assertiveness in the region.



The first move under this partnership, called "AUKUS," would be for the United States and the UK to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines, according to a joint statement by the three governments.



The new security alliance was announced by President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, and Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison during a joint virtual press conference from each of their capitals.



Morrison said the submarines would be built in the city of Adelaide in close cooperation with the United States and the UK, and stressed that Australia will not be fielding nuclear weapons.



"We will continue to meet all our nuclear non-proliferation obligations," he said.



The alliance is also set to enhance information sharing in key technologies between the three countries.



"AUKUS will bring together our sailors, our scientists, and our industries to maintain and expand our edge in military capabilities and critical technologies, such as cyber, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and undersea domains," Biden said.



While China was not specifically mentioned by the leaders, the communist regime loomed large over the announcement, which comes as the Biden administration seeks to enhance alliances to push back against an array of threats posed by the communist regime.



Biden also stressed the need to maintain a "free and open Indo-Pacific," a thinly-veiled reference to Beijing's growing military aggression in the South China Sea and elsewhere that has drawn international condemnation.

A study by the UBS Evidence Lab found that a staggering 76% of US companies with factories in China were in the process of or considering moving operations to other countries in 2020. They include sportswear colossus Nike. The firm's suppliers have been relocating production facilities to southeast Asia.

The fall of Lehman Brothers in 2008 marked the largest bankruptcy filing in U.S. history and economic collapse was felt throughout the world. But now China's own version of Lehman Brothers, Evergrande, is teetering closer and closer to that edge, too.  So says Glenn Beck.

Be it e-commerce, entertainment, education, or gaming, few areas of Chinese society have been left unscathed amid Beijing's torrent of regulatory activity in recent months. As authorities clamped down on the offending actors, stock markets tumbled with hundreds of billions wiped out, while companies and individuals have scrambled to assess the new rules, lest they tread on the regime's toes.



The cascading crackdowns have been swift and puzzling, with some likening the Party's attempts at social engineering to that which occurred during the Cultural Revolution, a decade-long period from 1966 when the regime's first helmsman, Mao Zedong, sought to reassert his control within the Party by launching a mass campaign to destroy traditions, beliefs, and social mores.



A "profound revolution" is underway in China, declares nationalist essayist Li Guangman, a former editor for an obscure state newspaper. In a recent commentary quickly promoted on prominent Chinese state media websites, he hailed the regime's campaign as a "return to the original intent of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) ... and the essence of socialism," and offered up two potential targets: housing and medicare.



To Robert Atkinson, economist and founder of Washington-based think tank Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, some of the measures mark the latest efforts by Beijing to curb freedom of expression. He cited the ban on "effeminate actors" and gaming restrictions as examples.



"You get the sense that what Xi is saying is, 'No, we don't want a society that's individualistic. Your job as a Chinese citizen is to support and follow the state,'" Atkinson told The Epoch Times.



"The goal of Chinese society is not to make people happy, it's to make the state powerful," he said.

From tech to entertainment to private tutoring, few sectors have been left untouched in the regime's campaign to tighten control



China's tech behemoths are handing months of profits to the regime in Beijing to demonstrate loyalty to the Communist Party. Popular actors have been erased from internet history with their devoted online fan groups disbanded. Young gamers now are allowed no more than three hours of playtime per week.



Across Chinese classrooms, 147,000 newly minted inspectors have been deployed to oversee the national dissemination of the ideology of China's top leader, Xi Jinping.

China's recruitment program has been the most successful theft ring of all time.



Distinguished US Professors Participated in Controversial Chinese Recruitment Plan: Leaked Documents



Several prominent professors at American colleges have participated in China's talent acquisition program, according to leaked documents from a Chinese regional authority. The professors worked with the Thousand Talents Program (TTP), a controversial state-backed recruitment plan criticized by U.S. officials for its role in transferring Western research and technology to China.



Two of the professors work at Carnegie Melon University, and another at University of California, Berkeley. All three are experts in biomedical research and development. Their names will not be included in this report.



The leaked documents, obtained from multiple municipal government agencies in Xi'an city of central China's Shaanxi province, further listed names of other recruited experts from abroad, funding details, and objectives for the local TTP.



Chinese talent programs, including the TTP, have recruited thousands of experts from around the world since 2008, when the program was introduced by Beijing. The plans offer up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in incentives for overseas professionals to research and work in China for a period of time each year. Xi'an's program specifically targets biomedical engineering experts, while others programs have focused on other technological fields including advanced manufacturing, aerospace engineering, and new materials.



These state-run programs have drawn intensifying scrutiny in recent years amid growing alarm among U.S. officials that the plans could facilitate the flow of American intellectual property and know-how to China. A raft of American and Chinese researchers have also been prosecuted in the United States for allegedly hiding their links to such programs while receiving federal grant money.

The Chinese regime has mounted the "largest transnational crackdown in the world" to ensure that Chinese communities globally toe the Party line, according to a recent report.



The expansive campaign targets dissidents who have fled China and those who hold a different point of view from the regime. Beijing's tactics include spying, threatening, harassment, physical assaults, and piling pressure on relatives who remain in China, according to the nearly 650-page report by the Institute for Strategic Studies of Military Schools (IRSEM), an independent agency affiliated with the French Ministry of Armed Forces.



The report presents a comprehensive look into Chinese influence operations worldwide.



The regime also directly places pressure on at least nine foreign states, demanding the arrest of individuals in those countries who are wanted by Chinese authorities.



About 60 million ethnic Chinese live outside of China, with the United States seeing the fastest-growing Chinese population, according to the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, an administrative body under China's cabinet-like State Council that liaises with overseas Chinese.



To the regime, that population is a "priority target" for influence operations, because they have easier access to uncensored views critical of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and are likely to spread such information to their relatives in mainland China, according to the report.

Biden foolishly believs China is not a competitor. They have different ideas.



'3 Warfares' Doctrine Underpins CCP's Sprawling Campaign to Infiltrate the West: Report



Psychological warfare. Public opinion warfare. Legal warfare.



Known as the "three warfares" doctrine and relatively unknown in the West, these concepts serve as key strategies guiding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in its quest to win a war against the free world without firing a single shot.



Psychological warfare seeks to demoralize the enemy; public opinion warfare seeks to shape the hearts and minds of the masses; legal warfare seeks to use systems of law to deter enemy attacks.



This explanation was set out in a recently released 650-page report that provides a comprehensive illustration of the Chinese communist regime's global influence operations. The French-language report was published by the Institute for Strategic Studies of Military Schools (IRSEM), an independent agency affiliated with the French Ministry of Armed Forces.



Combined with another key CCP doctrine called "United Front" work, these principles have undergirded a breathtaking campaign by the Chinese regime to expand its influence and infiltration into Western democracies, the report stated.



United Front, described by the CCP's first leader Mao Zedong as a "magic weapon," is a policy that, according to the report, involves the regime "eliminating its internal and external enemies, controlling groups that may challenge its authority, building a coalition around the Party to serve its interests, and projecting its influence abroad."



The report comes amid rising pushback from the West against CCP aggressions, including its severe human rights abuses, rampant theft of intellectual property, economic coercion, and military assertiveness.
