washington [US]July 1 (ANI): In order to establish its imperial foreign policy, China has spared no effort to expend small amounts of force, mostly in irregular ways, says former US Navy surface warfare officer James Holmes of. 9 forty five

Holmes made the remarks on June 28 at the Maritime Symposium Center on Irregular Warfare and Armed Groups in Middletown, Rhode Island.

China has so far pursued a strategy of patience, especially in Southeast Asia, coercing less powerful neighbors in the absence of armed conflict while building up the military means to be bolder if party leaders choose , decisive and routine action.

“Thus, it seems to me that the Chinese leadership has opted for small, long-term efforts to achieve what the party’s leaders ardently aspire to, and has committed time and time again, in the strongest and clearest terms, to the Chinese people,” Holmes said. explain.

“Beijing calls its goal the ‘Chinese Dream,’ which is General Secretary Xi Jinping’s banner phrase for his policy of ‘comprehensive rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,’ borrowing words from the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of China last October.” Home “The Chinese Dream covers a wide range of areas, from building a prosperous socialist society to controlling Taiwan to overthrowing the regional order in the Western Pacific and beyond. The Chinese Dream is about making China great again,” Si said.

He ditched the word “imperialism” and said that, as George Orwell wrote about the term “fascism,” the word “imperialism” had long been misused, So much so that their meaning is nothing more than “something unwelcome”. It’s a loaded word.

Holmes recalls Professor Hans Morgenthau, who in his classic “realist” book Politics Among States in the 1940s defined imperialist foreign policy as “aiming at overturning the status quo, reversing the policy of power relations between more countries. ’ This is a precise and more neutral definition.

It is worth noting that the pursuit of an imperialist foreign policy is nothing new for communist China, although the party had to put its aspirations on hold for decades.

In fact, my friend and colleague Sally Paine writes on the first page of her book on the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 that the Japanese victory over the Qing Dynasty in China turned the world of Asia upside down , Japanese imperialism reached the pinnacle of the regional order. At the same time push China out of its usual place. Since then, China has been trying to reverse the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War.

When China is too weak to change the status quo, Chinese leaders may agree with the status quo, but they always envisage dismantling the once strong status quo and replacing it with another status quo dominated by China. To borrow the words of former Communist Party chief Deng Xiaoping, Beijing may bide its time, but it is a stopgap measure – once a favorable balance of power makes this possible, there will be a transitional phase.

“As for what kind of forces we should deploy in the region to achieve a good competitive effect, this is both a military challenge and a law enforcement challenge. It is a matter of sovereignty. In the final analysis, it depends on who makes the rules and where they make them.” Therefore, from a certain In this sense, we should take a page from China and make the coast guard (law enforcement) and light naval forces our go-to tool, and back them up with heavy naval forces and shore fire support when situations arise. Go aside,” said Holmes.

“That’s why the recent news of our return to the Philippines was so welcome, as there were reports that multinational Coast Guard patrols may soon be at sea. Let’s try how combined and combined maritime forces and geography can be used strategically and politically Effect – – Emboldens our hypothetical fisherman.

By doing all this, we risk undercutting the worst excesses of Chinese imperialist foreign policy and undermining the Chinese Dream,” he added. (ANI)
