The Beijing Winter Olympics was originally a global sports event, but in the context of unprecedented changes in a century, it has been given more political and diplomatic significance.  In recent years, the United States has stepped up its containment of China. First, there is a trade war, then a technology war, and there may be a financial war in the future. After the United States played the South China Sea card, then the Hong Kong card, and then the Xinjiang card, and the Taiwan card even more.  I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China.  The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

On February 4, 2022, Putin was invited to visit China and attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics. China and Russia issued a joint statement and signed a large number of cooperation agreements in various fields. The background of the joint statement is very complicated. The most important factor is that the hegemonic style of the United States is too arrogant and completely unscrupulous, and it does not pay attention to major countries like China and Russia at all.

February 8 is a special moment for "sports fans" in both China and the United States. Eileen Gu made history on this day, winning the women's freestyle ski jumping championship at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Her mother was born in Shanghai and grew up in Beijing. About 30 years ago, she immigrated to the United States, married an American, and gave birth to Gu. Later, the marriage broke down, and she brought Gu up alone. Gu not only showed her talent in skiing, she is also a piano master. Her SAT is almost perfect. After the Winter Olympics, she will enter Stanford University, a famous American Ivy League university.

America is increasingly hostile towards China and one of ultimate weapons in America’s arsenal is to kick China out of SWIFT, the America controlled international intermediary and executor of financial transactions between banks worldwide. In recent years, from Trump to American Congressman, there are occasional talk of kicking China out of SWIFT, in order to decouple US from China and stop China from trading internationally. If this weapon is so powerful, why is China still not being kicked out? Before I answer this question, allow me to share some statistics and background information.  I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China.  The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.

When the pandemic really appeared, those "top" countries with the most complete medical resources and the most advanced medical equipment, the more beautiful rankings they had on paper, the more they were defeated, especially by Delta and the highly contagious mutant strains such Omicron. These Western powers with the highest scores shouted "coexist with the virus" one by one. This makes China, which has a mid-range score but has zero tolerance toward COVID seems to stand out from the crowd. Of course, standing out in this world often means you get targeted. . Western media have launched all kinds of maddening attacks on China's "zero policy on COVID, which are cynical and sarcastic from various angles. For example, recently, a new wave of offensive has begun.

In November 2021, despite China's strong opposition, Lithuania insisted on allowing Taiwan to open a "Taiwan Office in Lithuania". At that time, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning that "Lithuania will definitely pay the price" for violating the one China policy and harming China’s core interest. Just two months later, under China's all-round diplomatic, political and economic pressure, Lithuania gradually felt "pain", and Lithuania's domestic opposition, business people, and even some media in Germany, the largest economy in the EU, have criticized Lithuania's "rash advance" on the Taiwan issue.

On the first working day of the new year, I was shocked by a significant piece of news.

China's immediate neighbor, Kazakhstan, where riots broke out, once again pushed the word "color revolution" to the face of ordinary Chinese. As far as the situation in Kazakhstan is concerned, what can be confirmed at present is: The situation should not get out of control. There is a strong response from the Kazakh government inside and the intervention of the CSTO peacekeeping force outside. Most experts believe that the situation in Kazakhstan is not out of control. There is a high probability that it will gradually stabilize; The riots in some cities in Kazakhstan have not yet caused an impact on China's "Belt and Road" initiative and China-Kazakhstan energy cooperation. I am more concerned about: 1) What is the essence of the "color revolution"? 2) What kind of countries are prone to "color revolutions"? 3) How to prevent "color revolutions"?

On January 1, 2022, RCEP officially entered into force. In the next 10 years, 90% tariffs of all member states will eventually be reduced to zero. Covering 31% of the global population, accounting for 33% of global GDP, RCEP will undoubtedly crush North America and the European Union in terms of total economic volume, population size, and growth, and become the most dynamic region in the world. The focus of the world's future is shifting to the Asia-Pacific region!

Why is the world currently dominated by the United States close to collapse, and what caused the inner roots of the disintegration of the old world? What are the consequences of a fundamentally wrong US strategic direction? The current world pattern, whether it is in Europe, the contradiction between Russia and NATO, or the many hot spots in the Middle East or even the coast of East Asia, it can be said that the reason why there are so many conflicts and chaos in the world is that the United States is the scourge of the world. The current United States has clearly entered a situation of irreconcilable domestic and foreign difficulties. Internally, it has no way to balance the interests of different domestic interest groups. In other words, it can't do a self revolution . Externally, it seems to have reached the limit of expansion.

Europe is the foundation of American diplomacy. If the United States loses control of Europe, its hegemony will come to an end. Not only cannot the United States allow Europe to fall to China and Russia, it also does not allow Europe to become independent. One way that the United States controls Europe is the theory of pig raising, which is to say to the pigs that there is a fierce bear outside the pigpen. It is best to scare the pigs to trembling so that pigs can be raised easily. This is why the United States always plays up the Russian threat. Only by stigmatizing Russia and by constantly stimulating regional tensions will European countries rely more on the United States, and the United States will have a reason to station troops in Europe.

From December 9th to 10th, 2021, the US government convened the so-called Democracy Summit. But this "democracy summit" was really shabby, with the sloppy process, the crude form, and the dismal results. The United States held this "Democracy Summit" with a very clear purpose, which is to demonstrate its role as a global "beacon of freedom and democracy" while suppressing Russia and China. But what is the actual situation? The answer is "very bleak". Under the epidemic situation, this summit was held online. More than 100 participants each delivered a few minutes of speeches. Most of the videos were recorded in advance. For the participants, there was no sense of participation.  I set up and operate this channel alone, hoping to share the real China with the world as well as clarify misconceptions and lies against China.  The continued development of China is the biggest game-changer in this century that affects all aspects of everyone’s lives.
