China calls for Peace

There are two communities in the world, one is the so-called International Community and the other is the rest of the world.
The international community, which even Wikipedia can’t define, except as some nebulous concept, probably consists of the USA and her allies, which amount to about 18% of the population of the world but well over 50% of the GDP
China is, apparently, not part of the international community. It seems that you can only be part of that exclusive club if you follow the same ideological path as the US and, if won’t matter if you’re on a path of peace or a path of conflict, unless you’re on the same path as the US you’re on the wrong path
When did Venezuela invade anyone, when did Iran actually threaten or pose a threat to anyone — we’ve been hearing they’re weeks away from having a nuclear bomb since George W Bush was president, when did China last invade or threaten to invade anyone, for most Youtubers, it was before they were born!
So, it comes as no surprise to anyone outside this “international community” that China is, as usual, calling for peace.
There can’t be any doubt that the world is on the brink of disaster. NATO has pushed Russia into a war with Ukraine; the US keeps pushing China’s red lines, Iran wants to do business with Middle Eastern countries but the US doesn’t like that. Cuba has done nothing wrong except to be geographically near the US with a different ideology but is constantly in the US crosshairs.
Australia is China’s largest supplier and China is its largest customer; it is the only developed country that has a trade surplus with China but is arming itself against what US think Tanks keep telling it, is a pending invasion. India is friends with Russia, had some disputes with China and is a member of the “Quad” making it a very special friend to the USA, but that all appears to be changing now as US is getting more and more angry that the world’s largest democracy is following a more authoritarian and individual path.
China’s Foreign Minister Qin Gang, has just released a paper, I’ve linked the full text in the decription which calls for a: “UN-centered security governance structure and supports its efforts to prevent war and lead in post-war reconstruction, calling for major countries to play a leading role on global security issues, to reject hegemony and bullying and to build a peaceful coexistence, delivering stable and balanced relations between major countries”.
Despite US claims that China would be crossing a red line if it supports Russia, the only thing China has ever done is suggest it can help negotiate a settlement, there’s another link to that. Most recently, on 16th February this year
As Qin Gang says, and surely, there can be no disagreement, a nuclear war cannot be won and should never be fought.
If we’re honest, there isn’t a sane person in the world who doesn’t think this is a good call. Is there?
If anyone thinks UN structure is wrong, they should say why. If anyone thinks preventing war is a bad thing, they should say why, if anyone thinks leading countries, which would include China, USA and even Russia should reject hegemony and bullying, they should say why. And building a peaceful co-existence should be the goal of every nation and every person in the world. If you disagree with that, what’s wrong with you?
Anyone who is reasonable, sane and has some moral standards must agree with Qin Gang, unfortunately, many won’t, not because it’s wrong, but because it was China which pointed it out and there we have the most damning statement of all:
People will disagree with such a rationale just because… Well, just because China…!
