Today, October 14th, 2022, The Wall Street Journal posted a very special analysis about the ideas, thinking and plans of China's President Xi. ("Xi Jinping’s Endgame: A China Prepared for Conflict with the U.S." written by By Jonathan Cheng.)
These are two important paragraphs of this analysis:
1) "Since rising to power a decade ago, Xi Jinping has unleashed an array of campaigns to help ensure that China would prevail in, or at least withstand, a confrontation with the West. He has bolstered China’s military, reorganized the economy and remade society around a more ideologically committed Communist Party."
2) "His approach could be summed up in a favorite aphorism of Mao Zedong that Mr. Xi has invoked, warning against a lack of vigilance, according to people familiar with the matter: 'Don’t fight unsure wars, and don’t fight unprepared battles.'"
MY BLOG COMMENTS:
1) Who believe in Chinese friendship are naive.
2) Despite his smile, China's President Xi never was our friend. He and Vladimir Putin are two of the worst enemies of America.
3) The aphorisms of Mao Zedong "“Don’t fight unsure wars, and don’t fight unprepared battles.” shows the difference between Xi and Putin that we are seeing right now.
Other members of the WSJ Online community applauded my comments.
