"In this eye-opening video, we uncover the truth behind the growing tension between the United States and China. For years, the U.S. government has painted China as a looming enemy, a global threat that must be contained at all costs. But what if everything we’ve been told about China’s rise is a carefully constructed lie? Why is China seen as an enemy by the U.S. government? The answer is simpler than you think: China’s rise challenges the U.S. dominance — both economically and militarily. In this video, we expose the official U.S. policy that labels China as a threat not because of ideology or military aggression, but because China’s success threatens America’s role as the world's sole superpower. This policy — backed by years of documentation — is the core reason behind the U.S. narrative of China as the “enemy.” China’s peaceful rise versus U.S. domination. While the U.S. seeks to maintain global primacy and control, China has focused on development — building a massive economy, lifting over 800 million people out of poverty, and creating a modern, thriving nation through peaceful means. But the U.S. establishment is unwilling to accept that a country can prosper without following the West’s path.
In this video, we reveal:
• How U.S. foreign policy, dating back to the 1992 Defense Planning Guidance, explicitly states that any country, including China, that challenges U.S. dominance is labeled a threat.
• The “primacy” doctrine and how it has shaped U.S. global strategies, including its ongoing campaign to undermine China’s rise.
• The truth behind billions of dollars spent on anti-communist propaganda and “democracy promotion” to convince the world that China’s system is dangerous, despite its successes.
• How the global power shift from unipolar to multipolar is already happening, and why the U.S. feels the need to hold onto a world that’s quickly evolving beyond its control.
The reality that can’t be hidden Despite the constant anti-China rhetoric, China’s rise speaks for itself. The country’s GDP has grown from just $190 billion in 1980 to $18 trillion today, and it’s created the largest high-speed rail network in the world, alongside cutting-edge tech hubs and innovations that are reshaping the global economy. In contrast, the U.S. continues to face challenges at home, including income inequality, racial tensions, and a failing healthcare system. Yet, the U.S. media continues to promote the idea that China’s peaceful development is somehow a threat to the world.
What the media doesn’t want you to know Behind the scenes, hundreds of millions of dollars have been funneled into think tanks, universities, and media outlets worldwide to shape global perceptions about China. We reveal how the Voice of America, National Endowment for Democracy (NED), and USAID fund anti-China narratives and distort the truth about China’s achievements. But no amount of money or propaganda can hide the undeniable truth: China’s success proves that a different system works.
What does this mean for the future? As China continues to rise, the world is transitioning from a U.S.-dominated unipolar order to a multipolar world where countries cooperate, not compete. The future of global relations is changing, and China’s vision of cooperation is reshaping the way nations interact on the world stage.
In this video, you’ll discover:
• The hidden policies that fuel U.S. opposition to China.
• How China’s peaceful rise is threatening the U.S. empire — not through war, but through smart, long-term development.
• Why the real enemy isn’t China, but rather the U.S. control of global narratives and the unwillingness to share power with emerging nations.
Why should you watch?
• If you’re curious about the real reasons behind U.S.-China tensions, this video will give you answers based on facts, not propaganda.
• If you want to understand global power dynamics and why China’s rise isn’t a threat but an opportunity for cooperation, this video is for you.
• If you’ve ever wondered why the U.S. is so obsessed with maintaining global hegemony, this video will unveil the truth.

With Expat Adventuring in Asia (an American who has lived 15 years in China) ...
"For years, we were told that China was the enemy. A threat to democracy. A rival to fear and contain. But what if everything we’ve been told was wrong? What if China was never the threat—what if it was actually the blueprint?
I’ve lived in China for 15 years, and I’ve seen firsthand a story that the Western media rarely tells: the story of a country that measured success differently. While the United States measured profits, stock markets, and corporate growth, China measured clean water, food, housing, power, healthcare, dignity, and stability. And in just 40 years, China achieved the greatest poverty reduction in human history, lifting 800 million people into a better life. Meanwhile, America has been measuring the wrong things—and serving capital instead of people. That’s why U.S. infrastructure is collapsing, why homelessness rises daily, and why millions of Americans go hungry while trillions are spent bailing out corporations and banks."
Is 'freedom', for all - freedom to live without fear (of poverty and exploitation), or is 'freedom', just for an elite - the 'freedom' to control and deny others' freedom (inflict poverty and exploit others)? Is 'freedom' just a fraud (a fantasy that masks an opposite reality), or is it real (the freedom to live)?
"What if everything you thought you knew about China… was wrong?
If your image of China is still based on grainy news footage, filtered headlines, or Cold War stereotypes, then you’re missing the most important story of the 21st century. Because the truth is — China has changed. Radically. Quietly. And in ways the West never expected.
In this video, I take you on a firsthand journey into the China you’ve never seen — not the one framed by fear or misinformation, but the one I experience daily as a foreigner who has lived here for over 14 years."

1. Introduction: The West’s Illusion of Superiority
The West has long portrayed itself as the pinnacle of civilization, a beacon of freedom, democracy, and progress. Yet, beneath this self-congratulatory narrative lies a history of exploitation, inequality, and moral decay. From its roots in colonialism and slavery to its modern-day obsession with short-term profits and individualism, the West’s claims to superiority are built on shaky foundations. In contrast, nations like China and many across Asia offer a different vision—one rooted in collective well-being, long-term planning, and a deep respect for cultural heritage. This exploration seeks to uncover the truth behind the West’s facade and highlight the strengths of alternative models.
---
2. The West’s Historical Foundations: Colonialism, Slavery, and Exploitation
The West’s rise to global dominance was not achieved through innovation or moral superiority but through the brutal exploitation of others. Colonialism and slavery were not mere historical footnotes—they were the foundation of Western wealth and power. Entire continents were plundered, their resources stolen, and their people subjugated. The transatlantic slave trade, the genocide of indigenous populations, and the exploitation of colonies in Asia, Africa, and the Americas are indelible stains on the West’s conscience.
Even today, the West continues to benefit from the structures of inequality established during the colonial era. Global economic systems are still rigged in favor of Western nations, while former colonies are burdened with debt, poverty, and instability. The West’s refusal to confront this history is a testament to its enduring arrogance and hypocrisy.
---
3. The Myth of Democracy and Free Speech: Tools for Regime Change and Hegemony
The West’s promotion of “democracy and free speech” is often portrayed as a noble endeavor to spread freedom and human rights. In reality, these ideals have frequently been used as a smokescreen for regime change, economic exploitation, and the maintenance of Western hegemony. Far from empowering people, the West’s version of democracy has often been a backdoor for imposing its will on other nations, destabilizing governments that resist its dominance, and ensuring that the global order remains tilted in its favor.
The West’s emphasis on free speech is equally hypocritical. While people are technically free to say what they want, there are significant social and professional consequences for speaking out against the status quo. Dissent is often met with ridicule, ostracism, or even retaliation, particularly when it challenges powerful institutions or entrenched ideologies.
---
4. Poverty as a Tool for Compliance: The West’s Deliberate Inequality
Poverty is not an accident or a natural outcome of economic systems—it is a deliberate tool used by the West to maintain compliance and control. By keeping large segments of the population in a state of economic precarity, the West ensures that people are too preoccupied with survival to question the systems that exploit them. Poverty is not just a condition; it is a mechanism of oppression, designed to perpetuate inequality and servitude.
The West’s reliance on poverty as a tool of control comes at a tremendous cost—not just for the poor, but for society as a whole. Poverty undermines social cohesion, fuels inequality, and stifles human potential. It is a barrier to progress, a source of suffering, and a stain on the conscience of any society that allows it to persist.
---
5. The Culture of Fear and Conformity: Why the West is Scared to Be Free
When visiting the West, one of the most striking observations is the pervasive sense of fear that seems to grip its people. Fear of judgment, fear of failure, fear of standing out—this culture of fear is not an accident but a deliberate outcome of systems designed to keep people compliant, divided, and isolated. In the West, the illusion of freedom masks a reality of constraint, where people are too scared to be themselves, too scared to speak their minds, and too scared to challenge the status quo.
This fear of freedom is rooted in the West’s culture of individualism, which isolates people and undermines collective action. In a society where everyone is focused on their own survival and success, there is little room for solidarity or mutual support. People are taught to see themselves as competitors rather than allies, making it difficult to unite against the systems that oppress them.
---
6. The Infantile Culture of the West: Distraction, Instant Gratification, and Ethical Decay
The West’s culture is defined by its obsession with instant gratification. From fast food to fast fashion, from social media to sensationalist news, the West prioritizes quick fixes and superficial pleasures over meaningful, lasting fulfillment. This culture of distraction is not just a byproduct of modernity—it is a tool of control. By keeping people focused on trivialities and immediate desires, the West’s elites ensure that the population remains disengaged from the deeper issues that affect their lives.
This infantilization is evident in the West’s media and entertainment industries, which prioritize spectacle over substance. Blockbuster movies, reality TV, and viral social media trends dominate the cultural landscape, offering escapism rather than enlightenment. The result is a society that is intellectually and emotionally stunted, unable to grapple with complex issues or think critically about the world around them.
---
7. Short-Term Profits vs. Long-Term Planning: The West’s Unsustainable Model
One of the most striking differences between China and the West is their approach to time. China’s governance is defined by its commitment to long-term planning, with a focus on sustainable development, infrastructure, and the well-being of future generations. In contrast, the West is dominated by a culture of short-term profits, where immediate gains are prioritized over long-term stability and progress.
This obsession with short-term profits has led to a culture of instability and insecurity. In the West, workers are often treated as disposable, with little job security or access to benefits. Corporations prioritize shareholder returns over the well-being of their employees, leading to a cycle of layoffs, outsourcing, and wage stagnation. The result is a society where people are constantly struggling to keep up, with little hope for a stable or prosperous future.
---
8. China’s Alternative: A Civilization Rooted in Harmony, Collective Well-Being, and Progress
In contrast to the West’s infantile culture, China represents a mature and grounded civilization, rooted in thousands of years of cultural heritage and philosophical wisdom. China’s approach to governance and society is defined by its commitment to harmony, collective well-being, and long-term thinking. This is not just a matter of policy—it is a reflection of a deep cultural understanding of what it means to build a just and equitable society.
China’s emphasis on education, moral values, and social responsibility fosters a culture of maturity and depth. Rather than being distracted by superficial pleasures, the Chinese people are encouraged to contribute to the collective good and to think critically about the future. This sense of purpose and responsibility stands in stark contrast to the West’s culture of distraction and instant gratification.
---
9. Asia’s Distinct Friendliness and Helpfulness: A Culture of Community and Respect
In contrast to the West’s ethical decline, many Asian cultures are characterized by a distinct sense of friendliness, helpfulness, and community. This is not just a superficial difference but a reflection of deeper cultural values that prioritize harmony, respect, and collective well-being. For visitors to Asia, this warmth and generosity are often immediately apparent, creating a stark contrast with the individualism and alienation often experienced in the West.
This sense of harmony is evident in everyday interactions. In many Asian countries, people go out of their way to assist strangers, whether by giving directions, offering a seat on public transport, or simply sharing a smile. This friendliness is not just a matter of politeness but a reflection of a deeper cultural commitment to creating a positive and supportive social environment.
---
10. Conclusion: A Choice Between Two Paths
The West’s ethical decline and Asia’s distinct friendliness and helpfulness represent two very different approaches to society and culture. The West’s focus on individualism, profit, and power has led to a culture of alienation and moral decay, while Asia’s emphasis on harmony, community, and mutual support has created a culture of warmth and resilience.
The choice between these two paths is not just a matter of cultural preference but a question of values. The West’s ethical decline is a reminder of the dangers of prioritizing power and profit over people, while Asia’s friendliness and helpfulness offer a vision of a more just and equitable world. In this new era, it is clear that the West has much to learn from Asia’s example—not just about how to treat others, but about how to build a society that truly values harmony, respect, and collective well-being.

YT comment : "I always thought that the Chinese people were brainwashed, and then I found out that it was me!"
Some thoughts on why China is such a safe country :
At root, crime is down to poverty and an over-the-top individualism. Western style democracy is really divide and rule - the moneyed elite love it, how the people are so easily fooled and controlled.
Projection - what the West accuses China of are actually its own faults. Western democracy is top down and all about big money. In China, democracy is bottom up and meritocratic. The reason for the West's antagonism is not about politics, but success; the US wants to control the whole world (hegemony); and Western style democracy, if they can establish it in other countries, makes that easy.
Friendly people are happy people.
Anyone who has visited China immediately knows that they have been lied to.

The idea is to open up a country, peacefully or otherwise, till it is no longer working in its own interests, but rather has become a captured US puppet / vassal. Control of the media, fanning protest movements and minority tensions, proxies and pouring in big money are some of methods used.
With Brian Berletic ...
With Cyrus Janssen ...
Those who seek hegemony think only in terms of win-lose and can't imagine win-win : they must be the only ones to win. They think that this is to win big, but is actually to win small, as well as being morally evil.
China on the other hand, has always sought win-win. By helping others develop, rather than enslaving them, the win is far bigger. This is termed 'common prosperity'. And this is what the world must do if it is to survive.

Bonus film : What is the West's mindset today ? - with Michael Brenner and Neutrality Studies ...
If only the West would learn from China the way that China learns from the West.
The difference between the American Dream and the Chinese Dream ? The Chinese Dream is being built while the American Dream is pure Hollywood (just a dream / fiction). One can only ever be for a few while the other is for all. Is it money or people that is the fundamental value ?
Western 'freedom' is a system where the majority will be poor, to pay for spreading that 'freedom' (control / global hegemony) worldwide. The neo-colonial nations aim to keep the rest of the world down - and this supremacist agenda has caused endless wars and famines worldwide.
The difference between the West and China is that China thinks long-term and innovates, while the West just tries to cling onto its 'supremacy' and is hence declining.
The West's economic detachment is the first step to a hot war.
With Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson ...
How the 'West' subjugates the 'Rest' of the world (the great majority : 86% + many in the west who do not agree with the neo-colonial agenda) with sanctions, debt and vetoes, coups and puppets.
This is the insane reality - a handful of supremacists in the West impoverish their own people in order to subjugate the rest of the world. And almost all of humanity is the loser. All the wars and famines that have resulted, and continue to this day.
As for Western 'democracy' (it's all about the money), one only gets to choose between two puppets pre-chosen by the elite. Trump vs Biden - need one say more. Behind the theatrics, it is us and them (poverty equals 'freedom').

YT comments :
As an ABC, I have traveled to China over a dozen times over the last 40 years. The changes over this period have been breathtaking, but the biggest change has been the deliverance of nearly 800,000,000 citizens out of poverty. Gob-smacked Americans are agape but have gone out of their way to minimize and demonize any Chinese accomplishments. It is getting tiresome hearing racist, biased Western politicians cry about "potential national security" risks. I just returned from another phenomenal trip to China (Shenzhen and Chengdu). Based on my interactions with friends and relatives in China, they are not preoccupied with Anti-American sentiment. America's hysteria about all things Chinese is rooted in unadulterated racism and the inability to accept that China could EVER be a formidable rival."
"The following article is written by Ismail Bashmori, he is an Egyptian China watcher.
The truth is that China is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It makes all other countries look insignificant and contemptible. It is the most brilliant, most industrious, most ambitious, most educated, meritocratic and technocratic, most modern, sophisticated, and civilised, and best-governed by far. .
It is the first non-white, non-Western country to reach this status since the 1600s. The determination of this country is indescribable. Supernatural. There is no force that can stop it from accomplishing anything it wants to do.
It doesn’t matter who we are. Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Indians, Africans, even Americans. Next to the Chinese, we are pathetic. We can’t do what they do. We would have a mountain, an Everest of changes to make, and we would whine and bicker and fail at every one of them. China’s story since the 1980s has been one of an almost divine metamorphosis.
Next to China the entire Western world from Alaska to New Zealand has stagnated. Next to China the entire developing world from Brazil to Madagascar has progressed only at a crawl.
China is the mother of all gargantuan bullet trains. Every day it manages to create something new and astonishing. And unlike the United States, unlike the British Empire, unlike the French, Dutch, Germans, Spanish, Portuguese or any other Western nation that had its turn at being a superpower in the past four centuries, China doesn’t need to run anybody over or take something from somebody else, to rise majestically.
China is also standing up to the West all by herself. The West can’t believe their four-hundred-year-old global supremacy is being challenged. They hoped that the more China developed, the more it would submit to their influence, interests, and leadership. That didn’t happen. So now they will do anything possible, short of a nuclear war, to make China end.
Their goal is to destroy this country. That’s why, although the United States has killed several million people and turned several regions of the earth into hellscapes.
China is the worst fear of our planet’s Western masters. They want you to despise and dread a country that’s done nothing to you, that hasn’t invaded anyone, bombed or sanctioned anyone, that hasn’t overthrown any foreign government, or used its military on anything since 1979.
China is the only major country in the nonwhite developing world, to stand up to the West. To look it in the eye when challenged or threatened.
The Global South are simply Western puppets who submitted long ago. Even the most powerful ones. Saudi Arabia, Brazil, India.
The 1500s—1000s BC were Egypt’s time. Antiquity belonged to the Greeks and Romans. The 1700s belonged to France, and the 1800s to Britain. From 1945 to the present, the world has been under American overlordship. And they call it the Pax Americana but there isn’t much Pax in it.
There’s plenty of Pax if you’re in Europe or Australia. But the Middle East? Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Iran and Yemen in the past 20 years. Latin America? They’ve destroyed that part of the world beyond any hope of recovery. Africa? It’s only been spared because of disinterest. The US sees Africa as nothing. The whole West does.
But in the twenty-first century, we are witnessing the rise of China. We are decades away from China becoming the greatest power on earth. This will be China’s time, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it. Attack China all you want, curse her and monger rumours and hysteria — but the truth is that none of your accusations are backed up by evidence. The Western press is under the thumb of Western governments that want to stay on top of the world for eternity. And the truth is that China is not affected by the noise and maneuvers of her enemies.
For her first thirty years, from 1949 to 1979, China was basically blockaded and isolated economically and politically by the West. It didn’t even have a seat in the UN General Assembly. And it was dirt-poor in those days, barely a speck of the global economy, a tiny fraction of Japan’s or Germany’s GDP — not even able to prevent famine. And it still didn’t submit to pressure or take any orders. Why on earth would it do that now?
China will be the next global power. There’s nothing that can be done about that. The first stage is that its economy only needs to grow at 4.7 percent per year to become the world’s largest by 2035. That means the usual, historical bare-minimum of 6 percent is already overkill. The US can build as many bases as it wants, slap as many sanctions as it wants, recognise whatever bogus genocides it wants. That’s what it’s been doing all along. Has any of it made a difference? China can adapt to any situation. It took China a mere ten years to go from being barred by the US Congress from participating in the “International” Space Station, to building its own Space Station from zero.
