Parallels between China from 1962 to 1966 and US from 2016 to 2020 — What Mao's Cultural Revolution and the Jewish Deep State's Cult Revolution have in common — How the Control of Gods profoundly impacts Politics on the grandest scale — Trump's stardom lost to Jewish divinity

The Derek Chauvin case in Minneapolis is a pawn in a much larger power struggle, and in a way, Chauvin is in trouble because even Donald Trump and white populists have succumbed to the same gods controlled by the Jews. When Jews control the gods and when Jews dole out the money(to all the whores, of which there is never any shortage), the US 'power-brokers' are essentially in the hands of Jews.

This whole George Floyd thing wouldn't have gotten so out of hand if it weren't for the Jewish-run media pushing a certain narrative based on false perception and for the Jewish-run state giving the go-ahead to the entire nation to go full throttle on Negrolatry. Now, blacks being blacks, even had the media been responsible and restrained in their coverage, there would have been riots and the like. But it would have been contained.
Now, who gave the go-ahead to turn a local event into a national and then even a global one, what with BLM protests spreading across EU and even in parts of East Asia? It was the deep state that takes orders from Jewish Supremacist Central. And why did Jews do this? To hurt Trump with black voters and to boost 'white guilt' to counter the rising tide of white populism. These Jewish Supremacists are truly awful people. Not long ago, they sought to clean up cities and hired more cops to get tough on black crime. Jews supported more incarceration and policies like stop-and-frisk. Jews pressured US police departments to take cues from IDF and Israel security forces that deal harshly with Palestinians. But, when Jews needed black votes(and electoral fraud) to unseat Trump, they pushed the Narrative that innocent blacks are killed by 'racist' cops in Trump's America. Really? Who's been controlling Minneapolis forever? MAGA folks? That's about as believable as Jussie Smollett's story of being jumped by two MAGA-hat wearing thugs.

To better understand what happened between 2016 and 2020, there is something we can learn from 1962 to 1966 in China. Of course, there are vast differences between China then and US now, but there are certain general patterns in history that match or resemble one another. For some time, it's been duly noted in some quarters that the US under PC has undergone something akin to the Cultural Revolution in China. But overlooking who've been behind the US version would be like taking Mao out of the equation in the Chinese upheaval(which was more like a 'downheaval', or an event ordered from above, or a youth 'rebellion' orchestrated by Mao and the Gang of Four). In other words, despite the seemingly spontaneous mass-gathering and uprising of Chinese youths, it was actually coordinated by Mao and his cohorts. If Mao hadn't called on it, there would have been no Cultural Revolution in China. Indeed, when Mao and the military had just about enough(and the usefulness of Red Guards had passed the expiration date), the mass movement suddenly came to a halt, and many young ones were conveniently deployed to villages to 'learn from the peasants', thus no longer able to destabilize cities. Likewise, BLM2 or Floyd-Mania couldn't have happened without the go-ahead from the Jews. However vocal and violent the riots would have been without blessing and encouragement from above, it would have been a much smaller event. Jewish Power fanned the flames and turned a local fire into a national forest fire. Just like Big Tech companies coordinate their censorship policies, big city Democrats(and some RINOS) also acted together to use the insanity as political weapon against Trump and the populists. But then, why were Trump and his supporters so hapless and ineffective in combating this lunacy? Well, Jews control the gods, and both sides worship the same gods.

This is where what happened in China is useful to our understanding of what happened recently in the US. But first, a brief summary of what happened in China. In the late 50s, Mao was full of arrogance and impatience. Especially with the death of Josef Stalin and with Third World liberation movements sprouting all over, Mao regarded himself as the new leading light of the worldwide communist movement. He believed the East Wind was prevailing over the West. He also thought that China could transform into a first-world economy within a decade with mass enthusiasm and sheer power of numbers. Like Adolf Hitler on the eve of Operation Barbarossa, Mao saw himself as a Man of Destiny. He felt an aura of invincibility. As if to demonstrate this, he embarked on one of the most ambitious projects in human history: The Great Leap Forward. It would turn peasants into steel-producers overnight. Harvests would double, triple, quadruple within years. China would soon catch up with the UK and then even with the US. The will of the Chinese people, orchestrated by Mao, would make anything possible. Mao's East Wind would indeed prevail over everything. But in fact, the whole thing turned out to be ill-conceived and ill-planned. Despite all the enthusiasm of the populace swept up in the fervor, it not only undermined the industrial sector but wrecked the all-important agricultural sector(in a nation that was overwhelmingly agrarian). What ensued was the biggest famine in history, losing anywhere from 25 to 40 million lives to starvation. It proved to be so calamitous that it endangered the authority of Mao, a godlike figure at the time. While the criticism of the Great Helmsman was tempered in most quarters, the very fact that some dared to criticize him at all was deeply unsettling to Mao. And in a way, there was a silent semi-coup of sorts. Mao kept his prestige as the great ruler of China, but the day-to-day operations ended up mainly with Liu Shao-Chi and righthand man Deng Xiaoping. Indeed, Mao began to resent that he was ignored and not informed of what was happening in the affairs of the government. He still held the title but felt more like a national symbol than an actual ruler. It seemed most people in the state took cues from Li and Deng; they hardly had any use for Mao whose reputation was discredited within the state(though no one dared to say it out loud). Now, Liu and Deng publicly deferred to Mao as the one-and-only ruler of China, but they held more operational power and made most of the key decisions on matters related to economics and culture. Mao suspected they wanted to turn him into a ceremonial figure.
And Mao knew why Li and Deng held certain key advantages. Despite Mao's great prestige, he was associated with the disaster of the Great Leap Forward. While the masses were fed the usual official lies and propaganda, those inside the state knew Mao was most to blame for the failure that affected countless lives, millions of whom perished in horrible conditions. Just like there is inside information(for the elites & connected) and outside information(for mass consumption) on finance and government even in the 'Liberal West', it was even more so in China. To keep the nation together, Mao was hailed as the one-and-only unifying symbol of China despite the disaster of the Great Leap(the failures of which were conveniently blamed on the weather or the Soviet Union's withdrawal of aid) for public consumption, but in the inner circles of the Chinese state, many knew Mao had grown imperious, impetuous, erratic, and unstable over the years. Whatever sterling qualities he had exhibited as a wartime revolutionary on the path to communist victory, he proved himself a dangerous ruler of a nation that required stability, order, or patience to modernize and bide for time in a hostile environment. So, even as almost all Chinese officials praised Mao in speech, they lent their ears to Liu and Deng for advice and instructions. Mao felt that it was only a matter of time before he would be completely robbed of power except as something akin to a 'constitutional monarch'. (A similar pattern in the US would be that it was well-understood that black thuggery and criminality did most to destroy cities and communities. And so, tough measures were taken by Neo-Liberals beginning with Bill Clinton to lock up record numbers of blacks and implement law-and-order policies to control black behavior, such as stop-and-frisk. This did wonders for safer streets, at least in communities on which Section 8 blacks weren't dumped. These policies were based on what was understood, but this understanding was never articulated into a Narrative. If anything, even Neo-Liberals whose policies were based on Willie-Hortonology pushed the Narrative that the Bush campaign had run an outrageously 'racist' ad, and Bill Clinton took every opportunity to appear the 'first black president'. Neo-Liberals used increasing 'anti-racist' rhetoric and Negrolatry to cover up their tough race-ist policies premised on facts of black criminality and thuggery. So, while the nation was made safer by clamping down on blacks, blackness was placed ever higher on the pedestal. Even as white urban progs enjoyed safer streets as the result of the war on black thuggery, they were even more taken with 'woke' rhetoric and idolatry about the Noble Negro. They lived one reality while believing in a rhetoric that ran counter to the reality. This explains the insane contradictions of the BLM moment from 2016 to 2020. In China between the end of the Great Leap and opening of the Cultural Revolution, even as the state moved drastically away from Mao's radical policies in actual policy, it continued with Mao Worship as the neo-religion of the state. Something had to give.)

So, Mao decided to strike back. But how could he? After all, his name had been sullied by the disaster of the Great Leap Forward. Most people in government switched their main loyalties to Liu and Deng who seemed professional and responsible. They seemed rational players as opposed to the radical romanticism of Mao who treated history and humanity as the stuff of myth. After devastating famines that wiped out so many people, Liu and Deng restored the economy(with limited market reforms), and the Chinese people were, at the very least, no longer starving. The worst was over in China managed by Liu and Deng, and most people in government believed the nation was headed in the right direction under the more techno-bureaucratic minded elites. So, even as most bureaucrats said all the 'correct' things about Mao — how awesomely great he is and so on —, few would have switched their real loyalties from Liu & Deng back to Mao. They believed China needed peacetime builders and managers, not a wartime revolutionary who embarked on economic policies as grandiose campaigns against nature, real and human. They wanted pragmatism and expertise, not hardline ideology and radical passion. They wanted predictability and consistency in the rulers, not the tempestuous style of Mao who drove history like a Chinese man drives a car. So, Mao knew that it was nearly impossible to win back his authority by calling on those within the government and state institutions. This was a huge disadvantage in a country where the state was everything and there was virtually no power outside the state.

But Mao's one advantage was huge, and it had remained intact because those who'd pulled the semi-coup against him chose not to defame it(in the manner Nikita Khrushchev had done with Stalin's cult of personality, though after the great man died, to be sure). Now, sustaining Mao's lofty reputation wouldn't have mattered had he died before the Cultural Revolution. Indeed, even when Deng moved dramatically toward market economics in the 1980s, he didn't go all out in attacking Mao. He said Mao made 'serious mistakes' and innocent people were hurt; but, he maintained that Mao was still 80% good and only 20% bad, and besides, much of the blame was dumped on the Gang of Four. But as Mao was dead with no Maoist heir-apparent around, China in the 1980s could use Mao as a symbol and not worry about another Cultural Revolution; if anything, the great Tiananmen Square movement owed more to influence from the West than anything owing to Maoism.
At any rate, Mao was alive and well in the early 1960s and very much wanted his full power back, not least because his vindictive egotism could hardly forgive Liu and Deng for having bested him in the power game. After all, he didn't become the Great Helmsman in the first place by being a slouch in the game of power politics. Mao had few cards in the game but the trump card. Because the Liu-and-Deng faction had dared not discredit Mao in terms of prestige, Mao not only continued to control the gods but was the god himself in China. He was still the one-and-only Red Emperor even if his underlings in the state bypassed him and went to Liu and Deng for instructions. Because he was still the god of China idolized by many millions, especially the impressionable and restless young, he had a magic bullet against Liu and Deng. Masses of violent youths invoking his name could exert tremendous pressure on the state, especially as the state officially propped up Mao as the one-and-only great leader. One other thing Mao needed was the support of the military, and he secured this by recruiting Lin Piao who, for personal and other reasons, was at odds with Liu and Deng. So, Mao, backed by masses of youths whose violence was tolerated and even protected by the military, could deal a serious blow to the Liu-Deng faction and the bureaucracy as a whole.

Now, why couldn't Liu and Deng fight back? One reason was they didn't have the iron will and utter ruthlessness of Mao. Also, they lacked imagination and refused to believe(until it was too late) that Mao was capable of something so insane to destroy with his enemies, real and imaginary. They knew Mao could be erratic but couldn't imagine him waging war on the state itself and destroying his closest collaborators in service of his own ego. But, more importantly, they'd stuck with the idolatry and narrative of Mao as god-emperor of China and World Revolution. So, whatever they'd done(against Maoism) in day-to-day affairs of running the state, they'd spoken up for Mao Zedong Thought as the greatest thing since steamed buns. So, what moral or ideological argument could they have against the millions of Red Guards who were rabid in their passion for all-things-Mao? Indeed, the sad and pathetic thing is Liu, even as the walls were closing in on him, did all he could do to appease Mao and the Red Guards by hunting down 'class enemies' and 'capitalist roaders' when, in fact, the main target of Mao was none other than himself. So, even as Mao was making him out to be the devil to destroy, he acted as if Mao was the god to appease.
Things would have been different if, following the disaster of the Great Leap, a proper coup had been pulled off against Mao(like the one against Khrushchev who was not only toppled but disgraced). In contrast, Liu and Deng weren't willing to bite the bullet and go for total removal of Mao from power. Whether Mao still had too much power/support or Liu & Deng lacked the iron balls to go all in, Mao was allowed to keep his throne and prestige as the Great Helmsman, without whom the sun doesn't rise in the East. So, even though Mao lost much of the power-of-man, he kept the power-of-god. He was still the object of worship, whereas Liu and Deng, though having the authority of the state, weren't objects of veneration.
It's telling that Mao understood this dynamics in regard to Khrushchev. When Khrushchev fell from power, Mao mused that Khrushchev's position had been vulnerable due to his failure, unwillingness, or inability to cultivate his own myth. Those around him in the Soviet State could remove Khrushchev because he was regarded merely as a political leader than the god of the nation. Had there been a cult of personality around him, the Soviet state would have thought twice about removing him so suddenly and unceremoniously. In contrast, precisely because Mao held onto his quasi-divine status, even Liu and Deng(and their supporters) who'd done much to reverse Maoist policies nevertheless professed undying fealty to him in their official capacity. They could quietly do 'no' to Maoism but had to loudly say 'yes' to Mao-Idolatry or Maodolatry.
But this made them vulnerable and defenseless against attacks when the Cultural Revolution came charging right at them. If indeed they professed to be adherents of Maodolatry, why had they acted as 'capitalist roaders' with their 'reforms'? Why did they act like the 'bourgeoisie' in creating a bureaucracy that acted independently of Mao's knowledge and approval? At best, they were hypocrites who claimed to revere Mao but pushed anti-Maoism, and at worst, they were crypto-capitalist agents who'd planned all along to subvert communism and set China on the path to 'reactionary' capitalism. So, even though Liu and Deng had much of the CCP government behind them, they were ineffective in pushing back against the Maoist tide because both sides(indeed all sides) had to be pro-Mao. Mao's side hailed Mao as all-knowing, wise, and awesome ruler, and Liu's faction(though having gained power by sidelining Mao in day-to-day running of the state) also praised Mao as the great and tremendous ruler. But if both sides were agreed that Mao is so supremely superb, then the side that fudged even a little bit on Mao Worship must have been at fault. After all, if both A and B are agreed that C is awesomely awesome, B could be in hot water if it says C is 99% great than 100% great. Why the 1% of doubt when C is awesomely awesome? Shouldn't one be 100% for C and aspire to be 110%?

Even though Liu and Deng had gained at the expense of Mao in the CCP, neither developed a counter-cult of their own. Even with expanded political power, they allowed Mao to own all the mythic aura. Liu had political authority but Mao kept the divine authority. Liu had loyal humdrum bureaucrats, but Mao could muster up millions of rabid devotees and crusaders willing to do ANYTHING in his name. So, even when Mao's red crusaders came knocking on Liu's door to berate him, rough him up, and remove him from power, his only defense was that he'd been a loyal and stalwart supporter of Mao. When Mao waged a campaign against him, he didn't dare wage a counter-campaign against Mao but only tried to demonstrate his utmost devotion to Mao. Even after he was brutalized and lay in prison rotting away to a miserable death, his side presented no argument against Mao but only maintained that it'd been misunderstood because its support for Mao had always been unwavering. Deng's family was also attacked, and Deng himself was put under house-arrest, but his defense was always pro-Maoist, willing to confess errors in having deviated from the Maoist line that was of course infallible.

Now, what parallels can we draw between what happened in China from 1962 and 1966(when the Cultural Revolution exploded on the scene) and what happened in the US from 2016 to 2020(when the Deep State coup against Trump took off in earnest with Covid hysteria and BLM riots)? Even though the problems faced by Americans in the era of globalism pale in comparison with the horrors of the Great Leap Forward, many Americans, especially since the end of the Cold War, have felt that the massive transformations have benefited the cosmo-urban elites at the expense of everyone else. Many Americans, especially white ones, don't feel this is their country anymore. Not only did the US lose a lot of working class jobs but the cultural degeneracy has negatively impacted so many lives with family dysfunction, drug overdose, and the general culture of ugliness. For the upper elites of America(and in the modern world in general), they never had it so good as under globalism. But for many Americans, middle class and down, things have been getting worse and worse. What Mao and the globalists share is the confidence, indeed arrogance, of history being on their side. Their way is the way, an inevitability. And they are so totally right, and if anything goes wrong, the fault is always with others than with themselves. And just like Mao, having amassed all that power, became accustomed to everyone agreeing with him and never faulting him for anything, the globalists(with Jewish supremacists at the top) got used to their monopoly hold on power and grew utterly intolerant of anyone who dared to say NO to their agenda, be it Open Borders for Europe or 'gay marriage' all around. Jewish megalomania came to match Mao's megalomania. And just like Mao was prone to thinking big, Jewish power-lust lost all sense of limits. Not only did Jews turn the world upside down with new economic arrangements(mainly to enrich themselves), but they also pushed various wars that drained the US treasury and cost thousands of lives(and maimed many more in wars that never seemed to end). But in all this, Jews got no blame, and/or the blame was shunted off to others, especially white goyim.

Then, just like there was a backlash to Mao's insanely conceived Great Leap Forward, an agenda driven by blind hubris, there was a backlash to the New World Order or Jew World Order in the form of nationalism and populism as embodied by Donald Trump(among others), a new kind of politician the US hadn't seen in many years, perhaps since Theodor Roosevelt or, even further back, Andrew Jackson. Especially the fact that Donald Trump won the election despite pushback by the entire Power Apparatus showed how deep the disenchantment was among large swathes of Americans. It seemed to imply that the Jew World Order, which took off with Bill Clinton and accelerated under George W. Bush & Barack Obama, was at odds with many Americans. And even those who voted for Hillary showed no great enthusiasm for the Neo-Liberal order in which the Democratic Party replaced the GOP as the party of the business class, all the while desperately clinging to the mantle of Progressive politics.

Just like the failure of the Great Leap Forward forced Maoism to retreat within the Chinese state, the problems of globalism elevated Trump to presidency, and for his supporters, it meant the restoration of national sovereignty, repairing of US borders, an economic reset with China(that worked hand-in-glove with US globalists), ending pointless overseas wars, and finding common ground with Russia(to avert another stupid and costly 'cold war'). And even though Trump couldn't do much(as he was surrounded by hostile Deep State players and also because his main instincts are that of a charlatan-hustler than an idealist and man of principles), illegal immigration did decline, there were no new wars, and 'woke' idiocy was restrained some. While Trump couldn't turn the car around and drive in the opposite direction, he was able to apply some brakes. All said and done, for all his bluster, Trump sought middle-ground with the Deep State. Partly, it was because the 'swamp' was the only game in town but it was also because Trump's vanity wanted acceptance and validation by the People of Power. Even as he became president by garnering votes from the hoi polloi by vilifying the ruling elites, he used his position to gain respect from the 'better kind of people'. In this, Trump miscalculated the ruling elites, especially the Jews, as much as Liu and Deng miscalculated Mao in the post-Great-Leap years of stabilization. Even though or especially because Liu and Deng restored the Chinese economy(and got well-deserved credit), Mao's fury boiled over. Mao's megalomania simply couldn't share credit with others; Mao's pride could barely accept any blame for anything he did, no matter how disastrous. Therefore, Mao was hellbent on using whatever means to bring down Liu & Deng to show who's the real boss. Likewise, Trump failed to understand the true nature of Jewish Power. Perhaps, if Anglo-Americans still constituted the uppermost elites of America, they might have been willing to accommodate Trump and populism, as indeed such had happened in the past. But the new ruling elites of America were Jews, and they simply couldn't brook any criticism or settle on compromise with filthy goyim. By hook or by crook, they were determined to topple Trump and utterly destroy the mass movement associated with him.

Jewish power was so deranged in its agenda to punish American Populism and Trump that it didn't care about the negative consequences for the the country and the world(much of which is a mere satellite of American Power, which in turn is a tool of the Empire of Judea). Mao was willing to do ANYTHING to regain total power as the indisputable ruler of China. It wasn't enough to be god-emperor of the Red Middle Kingdom. He had to be the Big Boss at whose feet everyone in government trembled. To intimidate the bureaucrats who were loyal to Liu, Mao needed rage mobs who hollered with clenched fists, ready to accuse anyone of being a foreign spy, a 'capitalist-roader', Soviet agent, reactionary, and etc. And of course, one couldn't debate any of these issues. When mobs of young radicals come at you in fever-pitch of rabid hysteria, all you could do is plead for mercy or chant along with the mantras in the hope that you'd be accepted as one-of-them. It's like zombies don't attack fellow zombies(in DAWN OF THE DEAD), and pod people don't go after fellow pod people(in THE INVASION OF THE BODYSNATCHERS). Mao knew he was playing with fire, but it didn't matter. If Red Guards were to turn China upside down, beat up countless people(virtually all of them falsely charged), destroy artworks & cultural heritage, paralyze the state, and create all kinds of havoc across the nation, the price was worth the cost as far as Mao was concerned. His megalomania demanded that he be absolute ruler in every way. The horrible consequences for many Chinese were merely an afterthought to Mao. He mattered more than the rest. He was China, China was him.
Jewish Power feels much like Mao. Just ask the Palestinians or Syrians. Just ask the Iraqi children whose dead lives were 'worth it' in the words of Madeleine Albright. Jewish Power is ethno-megalomaniacal. Jews feel that the US, as the 'lone super power', belongs to them. They believe they are the rightful rulers of America and masters over inferior goyim. Jews are resolved on turning white Americans into a minority. They boast about this with hideous glee but have the gall to blame whites of 'antisemitism' and 'white supremacism' when whites notice. They are committed to using Diversity to make goyim fight among themselves. They demand that all goyim, white-black-yellow-brown-etc, bow down before Jews.
But then, Trump came along with 'America First', which reminded Jews of Charles Lindbergh's movement. To Jews, 'America First' reeked of "goyim should put goy interests first instead of whoring out to Jews 24/7". Also, Trumpers seemed defiant of the Narrative pushed by Jews. Even after all these years of mass manipulation via media and academia, the Trump movement showed that many Americans, at least half, weren't with the program or not fully. Of course, Trump and his supporters mindlessly praised Jews and Israel, but that wasn't good enough. Jews sensed a crack in their total hold on power in America, and they were going to do ANYTHING to regain it. And just like Mao didn't care about the consequences of the Cultural Revolution, Zion-First Power didn't care how negatively America and the world might be impacted under their agenda of mass hysteria and violence. What if countless small businesses were to face ruin? What if many people wouldn't be treated for serious illnesses? What if school lockdowns would lead to widespread depression and loneliness among students, as well as degrade their education? What if Americans would grow paranoid of another? What if constitutional rights would be violated? None of this mattered to Jews. Whatever threat Covid-19 posed, it could have been handled far more rationally and sensibly, but the most extreme measures were pushed with the aim of consolidating power in the state, favoring mega-globalist corporations at the expense of small businesses, and reducing the majority of people into scared sheeple with faces veiled with masks(though many wore them as face badges of commitment). But that wasn't enough. If Covid-19 was a statist attack on Trump & populist-nationalism from the tower, BLM lunacy was an attack on American Patriotism from the streets. Just like Jewish Power didn't care how many people were harmed by the medical tyranny of Covid Hysteria, they didn't care about the victims of racial violence and riots as long as they hurt Trump's chance of re-election. The very Jews who'd pushed mass-immigration and mass-incarceration to reduce black crime(to make way for urban gentrification) did a turn-about and unleashed black rage and mass violence to shore up black support for the Democratic Party and to beat White America once again with the stick of 'white guilt'. ANYTHING to have it their way. So, just like Mao was willing to sacrifice the well-being of the entire nation to regain total control, Jewish Power was willing to terrorize and brutalize the entire country as a form of quasi-divine punishment upon goyim for having defied any aspect of the New/Jew World Order agenda.

While the Covid Hysteria and BLM violence didn't impact the US as badly as the Cultural Revolution did China, they were in some ways more troubling. After all, it was hardly surprising that a totalitarian communist system could unleash such mass lunacy. Red Guards had been indoctrinated from cradle on nothing but Maoism. Their entire formative experience had been under Mao's rule. And besides, Marxism-Leninism at its core was a radical ideology. Combined with Mao's megalomania and vestiges of Oriental Despotism(as well as the Asiatic tendency to conform and obey), that something like the Cultural Revolution could happen wasn't exactly all that shocking. In contrast, the US has long billed itself as a country of Rule of Law guided by secular culture and rationalism going back to the Enlightenment. Americans have also prided themselves on moderation and pragmatism, which was why there was a swift backlash against Sixties radicalism. Americans have also been big on individualism, the idea that one's dignity is independent of the state or the mob. Richard Nixon's landslide in 1972 was a testament to that. Even the Liberal Establishment that sympathized with blacks and radicals soon soured of the mass violence and terrorist acts. Besides, the Democratic Party then wasn't just made up of armchair 'progressive' types but white ethnics who dominated the political machines in big cities. They were Democratic but socially conservative and patriotic in many respects.

But things were different in 2020. The white middle class had imbibed all the craziness. Their feelings about blacks went way beyond sympathy; it was more like reverence, even worship. Cut off from roots, their entire worldview came from PC education(controlled by Jews), mass media(controlled by Jews), and idolatrous pop culture(controlled by Jews). Rootless and spineless, they bent to every fad and fashion, every rage of the moment. Not only had the Silent Majority come close to being a Silent Minority but the very white middle class that one would expect to serve as the bulwark of sanity, stability, and common sense was swept up in what came to be known as 'wokeness', rather odd when the so-called 'woke' are, far from being sober and awake, drugged by PC.
Indeed, this led to a crisis of confidence among middle class whites. In terms of their livelihoods, they are much like the middle class of old: well-off or affluent with stable jobs. But unlike the past middle class, they are under the spell of 'radical' ideology, or more like idolatry, because the new radicalism owes less to a set of principles than the special cult-idolization of certain groups, especially Jews, blacks, and homos. In the past, a middle class person had middle class views. Today, a middle class person, having been influenced by Jewish-run academia, mass media, and pop culture, is likely to have 'radical' views, if only out of conceit of being 'more evolved' and 'committed'. This leads to self-loathing, a sense of having compromised with 'white privilege', especially when they are so convinced of 'wokeness'. Thus, if past middle class pushed back against the violence of radicals and blacks, today's middle class is likely to cheer it on(even if from a safe distance in their nicer and whiter neighborhoods). And why not when, even more incredibly, the very apparatus of the state from top to bottom fanned the flames of racial violence as righteous reckoning against so many innocent Americans who were harassed, beaten in the streets, and/or had their properties destroyed? Imagine that, the very state that exists to protect people from mob violence actually fanned the flames of violence against regular people... and so many regular white people cheered this on. The people of power from Washington D.C. down to the local level made excuses for Antifa thugs and BLM rioters(who were called 'mostly peaceful protesters' by the Jewish-run media).
Just like Mao unleashed the Red Guards to cause havoc all over China and ordered the military to stand back and let the violence take place, the very power of the US state in 2020 sided with street violence, mob rage, and lunacy. And when Trump called on the state to do something, it rebuffed the president and accused him of 'fascist tendencies'. (This is the very state that accused the far less violent rioters at the Capitol on Jan 6 as 'domestic terrorists' and 'insurrectionists' and used heavy military presence to barricade the entire city.) Of course, the state acted thus because US government is now mostly made up of goy cucks to Jewish Masters. If Jews want it, they get it. Jews want to keep total power, and goy cucks who made their careers under Jewish Power are too ashamed to face the fact of their perfidy. So, they pretend they're on the side of 'social justice' and work with Jews to attack nationalism and populism.

Given how the US bills itself as a Liberal Democracy defined by moderation, rule of law, freedom, individuality, dialogue, and concern for truth, the events of 2020 were more horrific than the Cultural Revolution. Far fewer people died, but how could this happen in a so-called democracy? How could a country based on Rule of Law do nothing to protect regular people from mob violence and, if anything, fan the mob violence by protecting Antifa thugs(who are hardly charged for anything) and coddling black rioters and thugs as 'mostly peaceful protesters'? Maoist China going nuts was predictable. Liberal Democratic US going nuts in this way was shocking. Indeed, it proved that US is not a liberal democracy but a ethno-monopolistic tyranny dominated by Jews who now treat white Americans like Israeli Jews treat Palestinians. US is no longer about negotiations between elites and the masses. It's about Jews saying, "We want this" and demanding that all goyim meekly comply... or else.
In the past, such would have been impossible for Jews as the great majority of white Americans were patriotic and had pride in their own identity. But especially since the Sixties, generations of whites came under Jewish mind control and don't know how to stand up for themselves. The very notion of 'white interests' has become anathema. Jews have convinced whites that white justification for existence can only derive from its usefulness to Holy Jews, Noble Negroes, and Wondrous Homos. Jews, who'd argued in favor of the Constitution in the past when free speech suited their needs, are now totally against the First Amendment. The Jewish Way is 'our way or the highway'. Just ask the Palestinians. Thus, current US is less guided by the Constitution than by a Cult. The Cult of Ethnicity, that of Jewish Supremacists who believe they are the best, know best, and deserve the best; therefore, we goyim exist only to obey and follow. If we dare have views of our own and speak truth to Jewish Power, we are to be smeared, deplatformed, destroyed, denied banking services, and etc.

Given all such craziness, one might have expected Americans to really wake up and push back. And yet, Jewish Power has prevailed for the same reason Mao prevailed against Liu and his supporters in the bureaucracy. In China, Mao was god; and Mao Zedong Thought was the sacred dogma of the land, even as Liu and Deng deviated from it to restore the Chinese economy. So, the conflict wasn't between pro-Mao people and anti-Mao people but between pro-Mao radicals(Red Guards & the Gang of Four) and pro-Mao pragmatists(Liu and Deng). Even Liu and Deng who built up their own political base and deviated from hardline Maoism nevertheless praised Mao as the great and awesome sun that rises in the east in their official capacity. Thus, when push came to shove in the ideological campaigns, the pragmatists had to answer for having deviated from the Maoist line. If indeed Mao is all-knowing and so great, how dare Liu, Deng, and their supporters embark on any program that could only be heretical to Maoism. Thus, Liu and Deng were doomed.

Likewise, as virtually everyone that matters in the US worship the same gods(controlled by Jews), it was difficult for Trump and his base to push back against BLM lunacy and the Jewish Power behind it. Both parties worship MLK as bigger than god and jesus. Both parties go on and on about Magic Negroes. Both parties say white 'racism' was, is, and will be the worst-thing-ever. Both parties believe it's wrong to blame blacks for anything; why, that'd be 'racist'. And of course, both parties are totally owned by Jews. Goyim in both parties are obsequious in their awe of Jews and/or deathly afraid of them. So, just like Liu praised Mao even as he was brutalized and driven to death by Mao's goons, Trump continued to praise Jews and Israel to high heaven even as World Jewry was doing everything to pull his pants down, twack his penis with a mouse-trap, piss all over him, smear him with feces, and ram a big hot pepper up his arse. Against all that, Trump's response was "I give Jews the best blowjobs and let me prove it once again." And even as blacks were burning down cities, attacking MAGA people, and badmouthing the Donald, his response was a Platinum Plan for the glorious Negroes.
The parallels with the Cultural Revolution are truly amazing. It goes to show that those who control the gods have tremendous leverage over those who don't. Those who control the gods decide the terms of heresy. The accused heretic is at a disadvantage because he too claims to believe in the same gods. But if so, why the heresy from the official dogma? Unlike a blasphemer who proudly spits on the dogma, the heretic claims that he is a true believer and pleads for understanding and sympathy. Jews control the gods, and the American Cult(as opposed to the American Constitution) is about the divinity of Jews, Negroes, and Homos. (The fact that the Power turned a blind eye to so many immigrant groups attacked by blacks and Antifa goes to show that Diversity matters far less. While useful against whites, diverse folks of various backgrounds, often immigrant in nature, are ignored when harmed by blacks or Jews. Whether it's Asians attacked by black street thugs or Muslims/Arabs traumatized by Wars for Israel, they take a backseat to Jews, blacks, and homos.) Trump, for all his attempts to slow down immigration, pledged his fealty to the same gods, those controlled by Jews. For all the Jewish hostility toward him, he was always servile to Jewish Power. Despite most blacks sticking with the Democrats and using election fraud against him, Trump's attitude has been, "Mr. Super-Negro, can I suck your dic*?" And Trump's been chicken on the homo issue.
So, how could he push back in his four yrs in office? Jews attack Trump as 'worse than Hitler' and his MAGA followers as 'deplorable Nazis', but Trump only praises Jews and sucks up to Israel. Jews punch him in the face, and he kisses their toes. Jews kick him in the stomach, and he goes down to offer another blowjob. Jews fan black rage at Trump's America, and Trump sings paeans to that scumbag George Fentanyl Floyd. This is why nothing will change unless white patriots stop worshiping the gods controlled by Jews. Though Christianity is now a defunct religion, the cry of "Jesus is King" is somewhat useful against Jewish Power. At the very least, it says there is something bigger, holier, higher, and deeper than Jewishness(and globo-homo and Magic Negro). But for most in the GOP establishment, their sacrament is "Jews, blacks, and homos are king", and this goes for Trump as well. When your enemy attacks you but you accept his divinity, how can you win? His divinity lends him leverage over you. He is godly, whereas you're just a man. Worse, what if your type has been associated with deviltry, as Jews have done with whiteness? Indeed, the core of so-called 'wokeness' is all about maintaining Jewish Supremacist Power. Jewish Power relies on white obeisance, and Jews figure whites must be paralyzed with 'white guilt' and self-loathing to be made sorry-ass, servile, and submissive to Jewish Power. On the outside, 'wokeness' sells itself as 'equity' and 'social justice', but it's really a tool of undermining white identity and preventing white liberation to keep whites as soul-slaves of Jewish Supremacists. Whites aren't, as yet, physical slaves, but many of them are already soul-slaves as they've been made emotionally incapable of breaking free of Jewish tyranny and its Noble Negro 'white-guilt' trips. It's as if Jews are doing to the white race what Jewish Mothers had done to their sons over the ages. It's like what Ramzpaul says about how so many whites have been made more sensitive to black pain than white pain.

Now, in some ways, the analogy of Mao and the Cultural Revolution seems the reverse of what's been presented above. One could argue Trump has been like Mao whereas Jews and the Deep State have been like Liu & Deng. After all, the Cultural Revolution was an alliance of demagogic Mao and the crowd against the bureaucratic Deep State controlled by Liu and Deng. Prior to Liu's downfall, he had the bureaucracy on his side. Most people in the state apparatus preferred Liu and Deng over Mao for their relative stability, pragmatism, and consistency. Mao, ever so erratic, seemed unstable and unreliable. Because the deep state of China was solidly with Liu, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution that called on youths all across the nation to converge in Beijing. Then, he ordered the youths to 'bombard the headquarters' and to give hell to the bureaucrats and so-called 'experts'. One may seen parallels between that and Trump's calling on the Deplorables to come to Washington D.C. on January 6 to send a clear message to politicians and the state, which is 96% Democratic in D.C. And when the Capitol building was stormed, it seemed like Deplorables were having their 'bombard the headquarters' moment. But as it turned out, the violence was limited, and most people who entered the building just walked around. And order was soon restored and the whole city was put on military lockdown(something that was denied when the city was aflame during the BLM riots). Indeed, even though Trump sure could work up a crowd, there was very little pro-Trump violence from 2016 to 2020. Trumpian populism was about enthusiasm, not violence. The Red-Guard-like violence came from Antifa types, 'woke' mobs, and black thugs. Even college geeks committed more acts of violence than working class Trump supporters. Nothing the Deplorables did resembled the Cultural Revolution or what happened on Kristallnacht in Germany. Indeed, pogrom-like violence were almost entirely carried out by blacks and Antifa types, often with support and protection by the Jewish-run media and Jewish-run legal teams working pro-bono.

Also, even if one were to note certain parallels between Trump and Mao, the biggest difference is Trump didn't control the gods whereas Mao did(and went one better by being the god of China). Trump, for all his vanity and swagger, never had godlike aura. He was a star and had star power, but it falls short of divine power. It's like Muhammad Ali called himself greatest in the ring but was humble before Allah and Muhammad. It's like Elvis Presley answered the question about him being the 'King of Rock n Roll' with "There's but one King(Jesus)". Ali and Elvis were stars, not gods. Trump as politician was certainly a star, but he was no god and didn't control the gods. All said and done, his gods were those controlled by the Jewish Power: Holy Jews and Noble Negroes. He deviated from the other side in not being so totally into globo-homo, but his political bible was about prostrating himself before Jews and Negroes as gods. Even as he reached out to the white masses, he never said anything positive about whiteness, and he did far more for Jews and blacks than he did for whites(which is why his share of the vote among white males dipped in 2020).
In the US of 2020, it was the Jewish-run deep state that controlled the gods. Thus, it had the Mao-like power. And having such power, it unleashed the American variant of the Cultural Revolution, which might as well be called the Cult Revolution as it's about the cult of Jews and Negroes.
On that note, what happened in 2020 America was in reverse dynamics of what happened in 1966 China. In the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Mao called on the mass violence whereas Liu's deep state sought to contain and control it. In contrast, it was the Jewish-run US deep state that engineered the Cult Revolution of Covid Hysteria and BLM madness, whereas Trump, for all his star power, was helpless to stop or contain it. In more ways than one, Trump was in a far weaker position that Liu and Deng. At the very least, Liu and Deng had the Chinese deep state on their side. But because they were confronted with millions of rabid youths and besides also acknowledged Maoism as the highest law/truth of the land, they could no longer maintain control. In contrast, Trump controlled nothing when the madness of 2020 hit. The deep state was totally controlled by Jews and goy cucks. The military was mostly on the side of the Deep State. All the big city mayors worked with Jews to push the anti-populist agenda. The energized youth, brainwashed by academia-media-pop-culture, were the tools of the Jewish elites. If in the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Liu controlled the deep state whereas Mao controlled the gods and the youth, with the military sitting somewhere in the middle(though ultimately siding with Mao), the Cult Revolution of 2020 America pit Jewish Power that controlled the gods, the deep state, the youth, and most of the military(now a cuck organization) against Trump who controlled nothing but only occupied the office of presidency; he couldn't even keep his Twitter account. The deplorables were useless to Trump. As most were white, they were devils in the eyes of the gods controlled by Jews. The gods are Jews, blacks, and homos. Whiteness is the new satan in America, therefore the only proper role of whiteness is shame, guilt, self-loathing, and struggle for redemption. If whiteness is satanic, then the sight of whites proudly taking part in politics is blasphemous in the eyes of the current gods. Trump rallied the white crowds but couldn't salute their identity or inheritance. Appealing to white masses was a double-edged sword. Trump might win over white votes, but his association with white enthusiasm/pride suggested the evil of 'racism' and 'white supremacism', and of course anything that is mildly pro-white is now deemed 'white supremacist'. Pro-white politics became the Satanic Strategy according to the gods controlled by Jews. Also, unlike Red Guards who could engage in wanton violence, the Deplorables were mostly nice people. For all the Jewish smears about Trump's 'nazi'-like supporters, most Deplorables dared not commit any act of violence, and indeed, most Trumpian violence was in self-defense against blacks and Antifa thugs encouraged by vile Jewish Power.

Because the Cultural Revolution was so crazy, it seemed only an erratic megalomaniac like Mao would dare let such thing happen. Indeed, it's difficult to imagine Liu, Deng, and the Chinese deep state pulling such lunacy. It was the child of crazy man Mao.
But in the America of 2020, it was the deep state that engineered the Cult Revolution. To be sure, the Covid-Hysteria and its controls seemed very deep-statist as it meant more state power over individuals and entire communities. But the BLM riots were something quite else. The deep state, despite its obsession with control, let loose anarchy in the streets(that even went against Covid lockdown dictates) and allowed cities to burn. The deep state even allowed the mobs to attack government buildings and ordered cops to stand back and do nothing. Some have compared this to Color Revolutions, but those were engineered to destroy other nations. What makes 2020 America an outlier is the deep state attacked its own country in chemotherapy manner. But then, who controls the deep state? Jewish Supremacism. Jewish Megalomania > Deep State. Jewish Supremacism regarded Trump and populism to be so malignant(and at odds with total Jewish domination) that radical treatment of especially potent anarcho-tyranny was deemed necessary. Use Covid-19 to gain statist tyranny over the populace and then use the anarcho-madness of BLM to terrorize White America into submission out of fear and/or guilt.

And yet, after all that, the gods are still the same. Both parties still worship Jews and blacks(and homos). It's like Mao's star never faded in China. Even after the Great Leap Forward that destroyed at least 25 million lives, Mao was god. Even after the Cultural Revolution that caused so much damage, he was god. Even after Deng returned to power and embarked on fundamental economic reforms sometime after Mao's death, Mao still remained god. Even now, when the Chinese economy has nothing to do with Maoism, he is the god of the CCP.
It seems Jews now possess the same kind of grip over the white world. No matter what Jews do, they are to be praised. This is true even of Russia. After what Jews did to Russia in the 1990s and given the 'new cold war' against Russia engineered by Jews, you'd think Putin would be anti-Jewish. But nope, no matter how much Jews abuse Russia, Putin is still all about honoring and praising Jewishness. If the relatively nationalist Russia acts like that, imagine the hold that Jews have over America and EU. Jews got Mao-power or Mao-Pow over the West. Even after all the foreign policy disasters and economic wreckage caused by Jewish Power, all we hear from US and EU politicians, leaders, and public figures is "Muh Israel" and "We worship Jews".
Jews really did a number on the West with the Holocaust Narrative that would have us believe wholly innocent Jews were set upon by totally wicked and irrational 'Anti-Semites' all through the ages. But so much of what Jews call 'antisemitic tropes' are really 'antisemitic' truths. Jews need to be toppled from god status for the current madness to ever come to an end. And it's about time people discussed the Holo-Cause than the Holocaust. Holo-Cause would be an honest examination as to why so many goyim were driven into murderous rage toward Jews. What were the true causes of the events that led to the tragedy of the Holocaust? Sure, there were many bad goy players, but it takes two to tango, and there were plenty of bad Jews. The idea that Jews were totally nice, decent, and wonderful but were mass-murdered for the hell of it is total science fiction... and the basis of Jews being the new-christs of the West.

Notes on Max Parry's "America's National Humiliation by Eurasia" — On China, Soviet Union, Russia, Josef Stalin, Mao Zedong, Nikita Khrushchev, Cold War, Ideology vs Civilization, and True Fascism vs Ridiculous Fascism & Ludicrous Fascism 

https://www.unz.com/article/americas-national-humiliation-by-eurasia/

Max Parry's article is marred by willful naivete. He assumes that Mao, Stalin, and the like were ever motivated by something other than cynicism, egotism, and national interest. This isn't to deny that Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong were sincere communists, but when dealing with the outside world, ideology and principles mattered far less than the realpolitik of gangsterism, also true of so-called 'democracies'.

As American economic power continues to decline, a division has emerged within the U.S. political establishment as to which of its designated adversaries is to blame for the country’s woes — Russia, or China.

I'm not sure this has to do with 'decline'. After all, whether US power was on the incline or decline, it has always sought out enemies, the new Big Bad Wolf against whom to justify American hegemonism. During the Cold War, there was endless talk of how the Soviets were gaining at America's expense. No wonder that even as the Cold War had all but ended(with the US triumphant), some on the Right were insisting it was still on and as dangerous as ever.

After the total demise of the Soviet Union, the US was as aggressive as ever, in some ways even more so. It's boring to be the lone superpower even as the US insists on remaining just that. Not only lonesome but it poses to three problems for the superpower. Some people grow complacent in their country's dominance. Others, no longer fearful of foreign enemies, obsess about domestic failings; if the Greatest Generation was focused on evil Germany & Japan, the better-off Boomers often obsessed over America's own failings. Another problem is the lone superpower seems rather like a bully than a heroic underdog. This is why Mike Tyson's opponents had to be hyped up as worthy of tangling with Iron Mike. With Tyson steamrolling the opposition, it got to seeming cruel and vicious. So, even in the absence of The Great Enemy, the US needs to prop up New Hitlers and New Germanies.

The dispute came to a head during each of the last two presidential elections, with the Democratic Party first blaming Moscow for Hillary Clinton’s shocking defeat in 2016 over unproven “election meddling” by the Kremlin. After Joe Biden’s equally controversial victory over Donald Trump this past November, the GOP has retaliated by portraying the 46th president as “soft on China” just as their counterparts drew critical attention to Trump’s alleged ties to Russia — even though both men have taken tough stances toward each respective country.

Actually, it's misleading to say the 2020 election was 'equally controversial'. 2016 election wasn't controversial at all. Donald Trump ran not only against Hillary and the Democratic Party but much of the GOP establishment. All the media and the deep state were against him. The only 'controversy' was he won. He didn't win dirty as his side simply didn't have the ammo to do so. But he still won, and that was very upsetting to the Power. The whole Russia Thing was a fake controversy, made up out of whole cloth with total complicity of the big media and deep state. In contrast, the Power did everything to bury the REAL CONTROVERSY about the 2020 election. 2016 election was not controversial but made to seem so by the Power. 2020 was the most controversial election in US history and most certainly rigged, but the Power said there was NOTHING TO SEE, just go home, and forget about it. All speculations about election fraud were dismissed as 'baseless'. And the Jewish-run Media pulled a U-North(the villainous company in MICHAEL CLAYTON) about election fraud.

From MICHAEL CLAYTON - Tilda Swinton's character of Karen: "It has been and it remains the U/North position... that this lawsuit is baseless and without merit."

The Jewish media oligarchs didi it for tribal-supremacist power. The media minions, the hirelings and little people, collaborated with the Big Lie out of the vain conceit that they, the cosmo-globalists, are the 'adults in the room' and the on the right side of History, therefore any means are justified to take out Trump and the Deplorables. Their conceit allows for moral-nihilism.

As a result of this neo-McCarthyist political atmosphere, détente has been criminalized.

Isn't it time to bury this McCarthy nonsense? McCarthy was a tool. He was used by the Power but soon discarded when he probed into the US military. Also, even though anti-communism did sometimes get hysterical, the Soviet threat was not a fantasy(especially in Europe following WWII), and there were many spies and communist-sympathizers in key institutions. Also, so-called McCarthyism lasted a few years, and its crimes were nothing compared to wholesale 'internment' of Japanese-Americans during World War II.

It'd be more accurate to call the current climate Foxmanism after the sleazebag who ran ADL for a long spell. Foxman and other Jews have been at the forefront of censchwarzhip and deplatforming all across the US and the West in general. And unlike McCarthyism that faded away sooner than later and was almost universally denounced, Foxmanism seems to go on and on and on. And if most in the media and many in government did what they could to bring McCarthy down, the key institutions now all comply with Jewish demands with no end.

In order to understand what is driving this interwar between factions of the Anglo-American elite amid the rise of China and Russia on the world stage, a revisiting of the history of relations between the three nations is necessary.

Not really. History matters far less than 'Thistory'. As most people are ignorant of history, they don't know and don't care about all that happened in the past. And this goes for the elites as well. Most of history is inert and irrelevant. It's just stuff in books. What really matters is 'thistory', or this-history, which is how certain elements and aspects of history are selectively chosen, exaggerated, manipulated, and even fabricated into material to be used in the power game. Consider Afghanistan. For the longest time, most Americans had no idea where it was. But when the Soviet Union 'invaded', it was suddenly a noble tragic nation under Soviet tyranny. Afghans were lauded as a proud people who's resisted invasion for their entire existence. And the Mujahideen were heralded as heroic freedom-fighters whose values were comparable to those of the American Founders. But after the Soviets were gone and the Taliban took over, Afghanistan was soon forgotten. The former freedom-fighters were regarded as cave-dwelling barbarians with no use for modernity and vice versa.
When US and Japan were on good terms in the early 20th century, the latter was viewed rather positively as a progressive Asian nation of 'honorary whites', whereas China was seen as hopelessly backward and inept. But when US-Japanese relations became increasingly strained, the Chinese were the noble salt-of-the-earth(with the possibility of being converted to Christianity) whereas the Japanese because slanty-eyed nasty pagan buggers. But after WWII, Japan became the nice kindly nation of chrysanthemum-and-the-sword whereas China became the evil communist slave-state of the 'blue ants'. But when China was useful against the Soviet Union in the early 70s, there were many glowing reports of Mao's achievements. So, never mind History. What matters is Thistory.
Same goes for the American Past. American History, though relatively short, is deeply complex and complicated. But the current Thistory frames everything in terms of White Guilt and Black Nobility. Jewish History is also complicated, and there were as many cases of Jewish evil as well as Jewish goodness. But, Jews push their own Thistory that selects and arranges History to make themselves the innocent victims while all the blame goes to white goyim or Arab goyim.

From the first millennia until the 19th century, China was one of the world’s foremost economic powers.

But here's a key difference. However big China's economy may have been through much of history, China was never a world power because it never aspired to be one. Even at its peak, it was a self-contained power. With its population, it could have grabbed much of Siberia. But China didn't even try to take over Korea or Japan. If anything, it eventually got conquered by the semi-barbarian Manchus. It's been said China and Vietnam were at war for a thousand yrs, but Vietnam remained independent. The Asians who did aspire to be a world power were the Mongols, and they conquered China first. But rule by brutality lasts only so long.

In contrast to Chinese power, which was self-contained, European power truly became a world power, especially with the mastery of the seas, the conquest of the Americas, and power of science/technology. As such, it posed a challenge and threat to other peoples and civilizations. It also conceived of a new way of progress unknown to non-Western folks.

Unfortunately, the Western attitude toward China remains stuck in the ‘century of humiliation’ where from the mid-19th century until the Chinese Revolution in 1949, it was successively raped and plundered by the Western, Japanese, and Russian imperial powers.

This may be partly true in the sense that the West, so used to seeing China as a poor and backward nation, is unprepared and unwilling to deal with it on an equal basis. China seems especially unsettling because it has a combination of key advantages. It's a big country. Unlike any European nation, it can be seen as an empire unto itself. Even without overseas empires, China is a major power. Also, China has lots of people, indeed more than all of Europe and US combined. Also, China has lots of high-IQ folks. Furthermore, it's relatively homogeneous, thus united. Finally, its government, unlike that of Japan or Taiwan, is totally independent of the West. In contrast, Russia is larger than China and has more natural resources but has a much smaller population. Russians also lack the work ethic of East Asians. European nations are prosperous, but each on its own cannot constitute a world power. Even UK and France lost world power status following the loss of empires. There is the EU, but its authority is unclear and confused. As such, it functions as a satellite of the US that is, in turn, a colony of the Empire of Judea, currently the premier power in the world.

Anyway, it could be that the old perception of China as the 'Sick Man of Asia' prevents the West from respecting China's role on the world stage. In other words, the West is willing to accept China as a virtuous nation of simple peasant folks, like in THE GOOD EARTH, but not as citizens of a great power. It's like Americans were okay with Japanese growing rich by selling radios and motorbikes but unnerved by Tokyo's aspirations to take center stage as the economic capital of the world. (To be sure, Chinese would be smart to play up aspects of Pearl-Buckism. After all, overt display of power can be off-putting. This is why Jews, despite their great power, emphasize the narrative of poor helpless Jews hiding from the Nazis. And blacks play up their 'we was slaves' card as moral cover for their arrogance and megalomania. Thus, even as Jews exert tremendous power around the world, they are seen as a bunch of Anne Franks. And even as blacks burn down cities and commit all kinds of mayhem, they are regarded as 'victims of racism'. Strong Horse of power isn't enough. It needs to be combined with the Sacred Cow of victimhood.)

One reason for Western resistance to rising Chinese power could owe to the lack of visceral advantage among the Chinese, or yellows in general. Indeed, consider the distaste among white Americans in regards to Asian success even as they are totally approving of Jewish wealth & success and black fame & fortune. To whites, there can never be Too Many Jews in any industry or institution. And there can never be Too Many Blacks. If elite NY schools were dominated by Jews and blacks, no one would complain. But Too Many Asians in schools is a problem... though the problem is always said to be 'white privilege'.
Why are whites and Westerners in general open to total Jewish and black domination but disdainful of Asian success? It's due to 'viscerality', which operates on the individual-idolatrous level. Black individuals have made their mark as sports athletes, entertainers, dancers, studs, and orators. Thus, whites have come to idolize blacks as a special, even superior, race on the idolatrous level even as they ideologically mutter platitudes about 'equality'. Being so worshipful of blacks, whites consider it an honor to kneel at their feet and carry their jock-straps. So, companies scramble to get a black CEO. White women look to Michelle Obama as some demigoddess. Even the lowly punk George Floyd was eulogized to high heaven by Donald Trump.
Jews, though no good at sports, have also made their mark as individuals. They are funny, pushy, loud, brash, witty, feisty, and etc. While Mr. T. could whup Don Rickles' ass, the latter could outtalk anyone, and Jews have been the masters of gab. So, white folks, so often outwitted and 'owned' by Jews, feel it's their honorable duty to suck up to them. This is why even Dissident Rightist fools cling to the hope that Jews will ultimately be converted to siding with the White Race. People are wowed by 'leadership' qualities, and blacks dominate sports & entertainment, and Jews are visibly brilliant as lawyers, officials, academics, and pundits. So, whites have grown accustomed to serving under those two groups as the natural-leader races.
In contrast, Asian success and power are cumulative than individual. Asian power is lean on champion-like figures and operates more like a herd or hive. People prefer the individual champion qualities. It's like a lion gets more respect than a pack of hyenas. Or a bear gets more respect than a pack of dogs. When whites lost to blacks, it was a black individual like Jack Johnson or Muhammad Ali beating up white palookas. It was like a bunch of white chimps lost to a big black gorilla. But when the US 'lost' in Vietnam, it was like whites finally gave up on dealing with so many Asian ants and mosquitos. A lone gorilla has a face and towers like King Kong on the phallic tower. But no matter how formidable ants or mosquitos can be, they are regarded as pests. Black power and Jewish Power have faces. But Asian Power is a faceless bloc of unity and cooperation. White people may kneel before the black gorilla or Jewish wolverine, but they don't want to kneel before the Chinese locusts. When the audience watched King Kong, they saw it as tragedy. But who cares about the bees in THE SWARM? Indeed, as if cognizant of these impressions, some Japanese guy made a anime movie TWILIGHT OF THE COCKROACHES where the Japanese are presented as bugs tolerated by US power(represented by humans).

By the way, Pearl Buck was very sympathetic toward China, and if anything, THE GOOD EARTH on balance did wonders for the Chinese in Western eyes. It humanized them, much like THE GRAPES OF WRATH did for the Okies and other poor white folks during the Great Depression.
The prevailing view of China among the 'conservatives' owe less to Pearl Buck than Pearl Harbor. Though Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Asia has long been seen as the Other by many in the West. So, 'Pearl Harbor' is like a metaphor. It could be Japan, it could be China. Or, it could be North Korea, what with ridiculous fantasies about the Norks nuking L.A., or the remake of RED DAWN that would have the audience believe that North Korea, with an economy 1/40th of South Korea, could invade whole swaths of American territory. Current view of China also owes more to FLASH GORDON. It's Ming-the-Merciless fantasy, with some Fu Manchu thrown in.

Another reason is actually due to cowardice. White America's 'courageous' stance toward China is actually the byproduct of its cravenness before Jews, blacks, and even homos. It's like what Ramzpaul says in this video:

CHINA IS NOT THE PROBLEM by Ramzpaul

Whites have been so instilled with 'white guilt' over 'antisemitism' and 'slavery'(and white fever for black badassness and Jewish genius) that they dare not mouth anything critical of the two groups that are doing the most harm to the white race. Blacks run amok, rape, riot, and loot, but White America bleats about 'systemic racism' and gushes about Magic Negroes. Jews push agendas to destroy the white race and the West, but every Western Nation grovels at the feet of Jews. Even after the BLM lunacy, the American 'conservative' idea of courage is to attack Democrats as the 'real racists', and even after Jews have done so much to harm the white race, the GOP's position is 'we stand for Israel more than Democrats do'.
In such a climate of chickenshit cowardice, whites can show their 'courage' only by attacking anything other than Jews, blacks, and homos(favored allies of Jews). And China is the perfect target because it is (1) big and growing more powerful (2) autocratic and repressive (3) relatively homogeneous (4) without power to affect discourse in the US (5) without protection of Jewish Power. Whereas Jewish Power will descend with fury on those who dare criticize Jewish Power, condemn black behavior, or denigrate homosexual activity, it tolerates most of the animus directed at China. Indeed, the Jewish-run media conglomerate signals approval for China-bashing. It's a clever way of making goyim do most of the bashing while keeping Jewish hands relatively clean so as to work with China.
Now, why would Jews who work with China, often against the interests of white America, allow white America to bash China? It's a way of killing two birds with one stone. By working with China, Jews further weaken white power in the West. But by allowing whites to vent their rage at China, the criticism is deflected from Jews. Now, the US has a sizable Chinese minority, so why don't they do something about this? Because yellows are lackluster as individuals and lack verbal fireworks. Also, with a sheepish and servile racial personality, they always look to serve the prevailing power. So, even as blacks attack yellows in Chinatowns in NY and SF, the yellows go with the approved narrative and blame 'white nationalism'. In a way, yellows and whites are becoming rather alike. Blacks beat yellows, and yellows blame whites. Jews and blacks beat on whites, and whites blame yellows. It's all kinda embarrassing.

Even at the peak of the Roman Empire, the Han dynasty where the ancient Silk Road began was vastly larger in territory and population.

But size isn't everything. In terms of quality, would anyone rate traditional China even at its peak higher than classic Athens or Northern Italy of the Renaissance? True, through a vast bureaucracy and complex organizations, China was able to carry out giant projects, but in doing so, it snuffed out much individual spark. Neither Athens nor Florence at its peak could match the sheer size of China but it created sparks that eventually allowed the West to burn brighter.
Soviet Union proved that vast state-run projects could produce awesome results. The steel factories, the giant dams, the missiles, and etc. But because Stalinism extinguished individual spark, the system gradually imploded under its own weight. Also, in an excessively unfree system, no one feels responsible to anything but higher authority. No one feels responsible on account of conscience or principle. This explains the hopeless rot of China in the 19th century and Soviet Union from the 60s onward. People had done things out of fear of authority, but once the authority grew corrupt, lax, and inefficient, people just became parasites looking out for themselves. Fear works when it's absolute. If you don't do as told, you will be punished harshly, even killed. So, you do it. Another way you might do something is out of freedom and reward. As you have no fear, you take chances to succeed in life. But Soviet Union from the 60s onward was a semi-fear state. There was just enough fear for people to keep their heads low and not take chances with freedom, but there wasn't enough fear to make people do what they were told. Imagine a slave state without the whip. The slaves are still punished if they try to run or rebel, BUT they're no longer whipped for acting lazy and hardly picking cotton. Most slaves will just pretend to work and do little as possible. So, if you want things to get done, there has to be real freedom or true fear.

The former Chinese Empire underwent its ‘hundred years of humiliation’ after suffering a series of military defeats in the Opium Wars which funded Western industrialization...

Chinese could have avoided all this with a humbler attitude. When the West initially arrived on friendly terms bearing gifts of superior technology, the Chinese could have shown curiosity and reacted with humility and admiration. Surely, a people who could build such ships, travel the seas, and make such gadgets must be doing something right. But the Chinese were arrogant and lazy in their chauvinism and missed their chance. Before the Opium Wars happened, China had racked up huge trade surpluses with the West. West bought lots of tea and silk whereas Chinese bought little. With that surplus, Chinese could have invested in technology. But they built stupid palaces for the lazy rich. Also, as China had fallen under the imperialist power of the Manchus(who eventually melded into China), it had already been under foreign rule for a few centuries before the British and others arrived. Indeed, it was Manchu domination that suppressed the emergence of genuine Chinese nationalism that could have more effectively dealt with the threat from the West.

Like Russia which lagged behind Europe after the Industrial Revolution until the Soviet centralized plans of the 1930s, China was able to transform its primarily agricultural economy into an industrial giant after its communist revolution in 1949.

But Russia made great strides in industrialization prior to the communist-takeover. It lagged behind Germany and UK but was fast catching up. If anything, the first decade of Bolshevism was a total economic disaster for Russia. And when Stalin finally got the ball rolling in the mid-30s, it was at huge human cost.
As for China, it's simply not true that industrialization came with Mao's revolution. Japan already proved that an Asian nation could industrialize without anything resembling communism. Japan followed the 19th century German model, and it served as the model for other Asian nations. If anything, communist China far lagged behind Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong in industrialization. Even into the late 80s, most Chinese got around on foot or on bicycles called the 'flying pigeon'. Mao's Great Leap Forward was a massive leap backward. If Stalin's mass killings at least led to industrial development, Mao's disaster not only took tens of millions lives but set back China's industry. And then, there wasn't much economic advancement during the hellish years of the Cultural Revolution when agrarian reforms under Liu-Deng were turned back and when Chinese colleges were turned into centers of struggle sessions. Many educated Chinese at this time spent time on farms 'learning from the peasants'.

True industrial transformation for China came with Deng's reforms, and China looked to capitalist East Asian nations that were close to the US. Also, let's keep in mind that, unlike European imperialist powers that suppressed industrialization in their colonies, the US as new hegemon allowed industrialization in their satellite nations, most notably in East Asia. Of course, the Soviet Union also encouraged industrialization in Warsaw Pact nations and supplied them with raw materials while purchasing their products. Neo-Imperialism by US and USSR was more generous than the Old Imperialism of Europe. But then, whereas US and USSR were bountifully blessed with raw materials, much smaller Western European nations weren't.

The real turning point in Sino-Soviet relations came when... Khrushchev... began to discourage movements in the developing world living under Western-backed dictatorships from taking up arms in revolutionary struggle.
...China... accused the Soviet Union of “revisionism” for prioritizing world peace and preventing a nuclear war over support for national liberation movements, becoming the de facto leader of ‘Third Worldism’ against Western imperialism. Moscow reciprocated by freezing aid to China which greatly damaged its economy and relations soured between the world’s two biggest socialist countries, transforming the the Cold War into a tri-polar conflict already multifaceted with the Non-Aligned Movement led by Yugoslavia after Josep Broz Tito’s falling out with Stalin.

Not really. The way Max Parry explains it, it would seem governments are motivated more by ideology, principles, and dogma than by realpolitik. Especially when it comes to foreign affairs, regimes act like gangsters. Communist regimes practiced Machiavelli more than Marx on the world stage. Who can forget the Nazi-Soviet Pact?
Khrushchev's thaw with the US had little to do with Third World movements. It was almost entirely about Europe. Though the US(and UK) intended to neutralize German and Japanese military power indefinitely, the USSR feared that the West would rearm Germany against the USSR. Even as a puppet of the US, a militarized Germany could pose a threat to Russia, no small matter considering the horrors that befell the USSR in WWII. Also, even though US and USSR emerged as the two great victors of WWII, there really was no comparison. US was unscathed whereas USSR had to recover from utter devastation. Among young working adults, the Soviet population was 2/3 women because so many men had died. USSR was a republic of orphans. Also, despite obtaining the Bomb and all its bluffs, the USSR was woefully behind the US in missile gap. In an all-out nuclear war in the 1950s, the US would have won hands down. USSR could barely feed itself after the war, and besides, it had to take care of its satellite states in Eastern Europe. Its one advantage over the US was its proximity to Western Europe. In an all-out land invasion, the Soviet Union could conceivably overpower all of Europe, but then, it would lead to World World III that could very well involve nuclear weapons. So, the Soviet Union wanted to calm things down with the US. It needed to rebuild itself from the rubble of war. It needed to consolidate its grip over Eastern Europe that looked upon Soviet Union as oppressor than liberator. To the outside world, the Soviet Union presented itself as far more formidable than it actually was after WWII. Inside the USSR, people knew there were massive problems. Khrushchev knew of the disadvantages and vulnerabilities. He knew the uncensored truth from the inside. So, the proposed thaw with the West wasn't about ideological betrayal but bidding for time. Also, having served under Stalin, Khrushchev was well-aware of the human toll of communism and hoped there might be a more humane form of socialism that could co-exist with the capitalist world.

But Mao saw things differently, and it had less to do with principles or dogma than suspicion bordering on paranoia. After all, Mao's road to power had been grueling, strewn with so many double-crosses. And prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, Russia was one of the predatory powers over China. And even after the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalin had tried numerous times to replace Mao with a Moscow-trained figure. USSR also swallowed up Mongolia as a satellite state and, prior to Mao's victory, willfully occupied territories in China much like the US does today in Syria. Of course, back then, it was to Mao's benefit that Russia violated China's territorial integrity and provided a haven for the Chinese communists from the clutches of the KMT. Still, Mao was well-aware of Sino-Russian History. Not good. And despite his fealty to Stalin, there was also a lot of bad blood.

So, even though Khrushchev didn't mean to betray China, Mao was super-suspicious because of both political and personal histories. Also, smarting from the Korean War where China won lots of prestige but at great cost, he was in no mood to deal with the US, not least because of the Taiwan issue. Furthermore, Mao greatly overestimated the power of the USSR. Being an outsider, he took a good deal of Soviet propaganda at face value. Why should a superpower like the USSR not be bolder with the US?
Khrushchev knew the reality from the inside and was well-aware of the weaknesses. US controlled all the seas. US had many more nukes. It was unscathed in WWII and had by far the biggest industry in the world and was the leader in science and technology. It had plenty of food and stuff. US also had the richest and most powerful European nations on its side. While the Soviet Union looked dominant on the map, most of Siberia was uninhabited. Eastern European nations were backward relative to the West. And huge areas of the USSR were still being rebuilt from war and deprivations caused under Stalin.

Khrushchev was trying to walk a fine line between superpower bluff and cautious pragmatism. He knew Soviet prestige depended on show of power and pride. Communist propaganda tirelessly featured images of marching soldiers, tanks & airplanes, and endless fields of wheat. In reality, the Soviet system was just barely providing basic necessities to its citizens. Khrushchev himself embodied these contradictions. He could be awfully proud and tempestuous. A volatile figure, he could harangue the West along with the best of them. But he was also a survivor and, in trying to buy time to create a more humane form of socialism, he tried to negotiate with the US, especially over Germany. But it wasn't easy because he couldn't resist sticking it to the US when the opportunity arose, like with the U2 incident that was deeply humiliating to Eisenhower's administration.

By the mid-50s, Khrushchev had already experienced nearly 40 yrs of communist rule in the Soviet Union. He knew what the revolution had done to the elites and the people. He'd witnessed the casualties as well as the gains of the revolution. He'd seen so many of his comrades crushed by Stalin, and he'd also taken part in this bloodbath out of zeal or to survive. Also, prior to Stalin's death, he'd always played the role of flunky. So, he understood the danger of absolute power. He lived under it, was humiliated by it, and survived it.
In contrast, Mao had been the top figure in Chinese communism once it took hold in the countryside. Mao was used to ordering others around, not being ordered around. Also, Chinese communists came to power in 1949, 32 years after the Russian Revolution. In 1955, he'd been the supreme leader of China for only 6 yrs. So, his enthusiasm level was much greater. He was flush with dreams of great things. Thus, he had a bolder approach to the West, though his talk about atom bomb being a 'paper tiger' was mostly bluff.
At any rate, Mao could talk this way, that is recklessly, because if it came to World War III, the Soviet Union would have to do most of the fighting and bear the brunt of US's main nuclear attack. It's easier to talk tough from behind. In contrast, Khrushchev was face to face with the US(and things later got really dangerous with the Cuban Missile Crisis). Maybe for Mao, it was revenge for what the USSR put him through during the Korean War when China was ill-equipped to face off against the biggest industrial power in the world.

But all said and done, Mao feared that Russia as a white power was inching closer to the US as a white power to stab yellow China in the back. It was unfounded fear on Mao's part, but given the history of white imperialism in Asia, surely understandable. So, Mao threw whatever monkey wrench he could find at the notion of 'peaceful co-existence' with the West. Likewise, hawks and hardline anti-communist elements in the US made did all they could to undermine any peace deal with Russia and Red China. Mao worded his concerns in terms of ideology and world revolution, but he was really concerned with China and his rule over it. Besides, most anti-imperialist movements weren't communist, and some were staunchly anti-communist. It wasn't a cut-and-dry affair of leftist Third World vs rightist capitalist West. If anything, by promoting communist insurgencies around the world, the USSR faced the danger of alienating Third World nations that resisted Western Imperialism but weren't partial to communism. So, the Soviet Union had to be flexible, even delicate, in forming alliances, especially in the Muslim World that wasn't so keen on secular radicalism.

As to why Soviet ended aid to China, it had to do with Mao's increasing megalomania and recklessness both at home and before the world community. Notwithstanding the partial re-militarization of Japan, tensions over Taiwan, and the aftershocks of the Korean War, China was not the main target in America's crosshairs. It was the Soviet Union, which wasn't prepared for an all-out war. Even if Soviets could take most of Europe, it'd be more trouble than its worth as Soviets would have to rule over and take care of entire nations that would seethe with resentment and hatred. Indeed, the great paradox of communism was that the biggest true believers were found in non-communist nations. There, the useful idiots could fantasize about Workers' Paradise when, in fact, conditions under communism weren't so great for the daily worker. Consider the French movie EAST-WEST where a bunch of naive Western Intellectuals emigrate to the Soviet Union to live in utopia only to be met with brutal repression. Indeed, the Soviets were loathe to take in defectors who'd finally get a glimpse of the REAL LIFE under communism and discover it made the capitalist West, for all its faults, seem like paradise.

The propaganda war was a far more daunting challenge for the Soviet Union. China merely needed to play the Third World card whereas Soviets had to play both First World and Third World cards. It was well-understood around the world that China was a poor country. If anything, its poverty was a point of solidarity with the Third World. In contrast, the Soviet Union had to present itself as a First World competitor with the US. In other words, it wasn't only the land of the proles and champion of the oppressed around the world BUT a system that could compete with the West in providing modernity and prosperity. This is why Richard Nixon made much of America's dominance in TV's, refrigerators, and automobiles. USSR spoke a lot about the Worker, but was the average wage-earner better off under communism or capitalism? As Red China was just getting started, it wasn't in competition with the West in the living-standards and consumer goods department. In contrast, when Khrushchev said, "We will bury you", he meant not only in great power terms but in mass production of goods and services. In truth, however, the Soviet Union had a bigger refrigerator gap than the missile gap with the West. And Khrushchev, having worked in the communist economy, knew of its problems and limitations.

This is why the Soviets urged Mao to go slow and be pragmatic so as not to repeat the mistakes of the USSR. You can't turn earth into heaven into one fell swoop. Soviets provided aid and experts to facilitate development in China, but Mao the peasant-dreamer just wouldn't listen. He threw caution to the winds and embarked on the disastrous Great Leap Forward with boasts of how China would leap over not only UK but the US in so many years.
Also, Mao made adventurist claims about Soviet achievements that irritated Russians to no end. While the Soviets were awfully proud of their head start in the space race, they knew the US had more ammo in the long haul. For the Soviets, the competition was a matter of inches. But when Soviets sent up a satellite, Mao proclaimed the East is prevailing over the West. It was beyond bluff. It was guff.

But worst of all, it was a matter of personalities. Though Khrushchev was erratic, he was not without human qualities and something like a conscience. Also, he began as a prole and made his mark through hard work. As such, he didn't despise the common man and, if anything, was saddened by the great loss of life under Stalinism... though he too had plenty of blood on his hands. In contrast, Mao grew up despising the peasantry. He fancied himself a thinker, poet, philosopher. He regarded himself as made for great things. Like Hitler, he saw himself as a man of destiny. As such, people were mere tools and pawns. He was like a communist Harry Lime(of THE THIRD MAN). He found communism useful as an insta-hammer of history. Capitalism, good or bad, took time to develop — it's like it took capitalist Jews longer to take power in the US than it took for communist Jews in Russia, but then, capitalism proved to be far more useful to Jews, just like capitalism is finally pushing China ever higher, perhaps to the top. In contrast, Leninism meant ruthless organization, revolutionary will, and power with guns & force. For Mao, communism was a tool of using the masses, not serving them. They were expendable. As 'Mao' says to 'Nixon' in Oliver Stone's film, "The evil is within us; history is a symptom of our disease."
The person in the CCP who was most like Khrushchev was Peng Dehuai who, alone among prominent figures during the Great Leap Forward, blamed Mao for the disaster. Granted, Khrushchev had no such courage during Stalin's reign, but the Secret Speech, for all its faults and omissions, was a means to come to terms with the great crimes committed under Stalin. This is where Mao and Khrushchev could never see eye to eye. Mao was a monstrous god-man whereas Khrushchev, for all his bluster and arrogance, wasn't without human qualities and something resembling conscience.
Indeed, the seeds of the eventual fallout between Mao and Khrushchev were planted right after Stalin died because Khrushchev tried to be the good guy. Customarily, Mao should paid Khrushchev a visit after Stalin's death because USSR was the premier power. But Khrushchev decided to go see Mao. Also, he understood that Stalin had abused his position with Mao and wanted to right those wrongs. He adjusted policy so that China would feel more on equal terms with the USSR. Now, if Mao had some human qualities, he would have appreciated the gestures and reciprocated, but just like Hitler, he regarded decency in others as weakness to exploit and trample on. He began to put on airs, show disdain toward Khrushchev, bait the USSR over trifles, ramp up unnecessary tensions with the West, and ignore all advice on economic matters. Anyone with half-a-sense would have known the Great Leap would be a total disaster. Also, Mao began to act like he's the new Stalin, the new god of communism. At some point, Khrushchev had just about enough. While not blameless, 80-90% of the Soviet rift must be blamed on Mao's impetuosity and megalomania, which would soon bring about the Cultural Revolution as if China didn't suffer enough already. Mao was a wrecker alright.

By the way, the fact that the Chinese economy dramatically improved right after the Great Leap was abandoned and limited market reforms were implemented goes to show that the massive suffering from 1958 to 1961 owed mostly to Mao's craziness than Soviet withdrawal of aid. China was soon able to feed itself again once the Great Leap ended even though Soviet aid and experts didn't return.

As the PRC continued to break from... USSR’s deviation from Marxism-Leninism, China... took the anti-Soviet policies a step further by condemning the USSR as “social imperialist”... This led to several huge missteps in foreign policy and a complete betrayal of internationalism, as China aligned with the U.S. in support of UNITA against the MPLA in the Angolan civil war, the CIA-backed Khmer Rouge genocidaires in Cambodia against Vietnam, and the fascist Augusto Pinochet regime in Chile... Richard Nixon and his war criminal Secretary of State Henry Kissinger were received as guests in 1972. Despite the initial reasons for the Sino-Soviet split, it was ironically the Soviet Union which ended up carrying the mantle of national liberation as the USSR backed numerous socialist revolutions in the global south while China sided with imperialism.

This is a cartoon view of history. It's not as if the world was made up of evil US, good USSR, and noble Third World struggling for justice. Soviet Union constituted an imperialism in its own right. Poles, Hungarians, and Czechs certainly thought so. Baltic states felt imprisoned in the Soviet Union. And communist exports led to repression and even mass killings on an unprecedented scale. It was certainly true in Mao's China. It's true enough the US did horrible things and supported regimes that carried out mass killings. But so did the USSR. And despite the puppet-status of nations like Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, they offered more freedom and opportunity for their own peoples than communist nations like China, North Korea, and Mongolia.

Also, opportunism was part of Chinese foreign policy from day one. Though ideologically favoring communists the world over, China was friendly with non- and even anti-communist nations as long as they shared common interests. But in the end, the main reason why USSR took the lead in 'world revolution' was it had a bigger economy and had more to offer. China under Mao was poor and backward. All it could offer was some rice, cabbage, and AK-47s. Even Third World nations that identified more with China were better off siding with the more advanced Soviet Union. Cuban economy did pretty well with Soviet aid, but what could China offer? Little more than rhetoric and the Little Red Book.
Also, Mao nursed territorial grievances with the Soviet Union. Imperial Russia had taken whole chunks of China and they weren't returned under communism. Also, the vast borderlands between the two nations made both deeply nervous, and hostilities broke out. As the Soviets had overwhelming technological advantage, China usually got the worst of the exchange, and this made Mao angrier. So, it all became very personal. It's not so much that China 'betrayed' the world revolution as the Sino-Soviet rift rippled across the world stage. As China regarded Russia as the imperialist threat, it was resolved to undermine Soviet influence anywhere in the world. China also worried that Vietnam would grow closer to Russia. Even though China provided the most aid to Vietnam in the war against the US, it feared that Vietnam would lean toward the Soviets that could offer more in terms of technological knowhow, and these fears were soon realized upon the unification of Vietnam. As for the Khmer Rouge working with the CIA, that happened AFTER the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia. Initially, the Khmer Rouge came to power against the CIA-backed Lon Nol regime. Mao gave them his blessing as true revolutionaries. But the Khmer Rouge were not only insane ultra-communists but ultra-zealous nationalists who wanted to take back territories lost to Vietnam centuries ago. This led to border conflicts with Vietnam and then eventual invasion by Vietnam. It was only then that the Khmer Rouge began to work with the CIA on the basis of 'enemy of your enemy is your friend', but that's always been the case. As for Pinochet, he was no fascist but a mere reactionary puppet of the propertied class. He lacked the vision of Mussolini and Hitler. Not that Mussolini and Hitler were good fascists. Mussolini was about Ridiculous Fascism, and Hitler was about Ludicrous Fascism. Neither was about True Fascism based on National Humanism, and so they failed. At any rate, Pinochet was just one of the many run-of-the-mill third-rate dictators around the world. Were they all 'fascists'? Or, is someone a 'fascist' if he comes to power by taking out a leftist or Marxist? At any rate, how many did Pinochet kill? A few thousand? And to his credit, he paved the way for successful economic recovery and return to democracy. He was less repressive and murderous than most tyrants, and the only reason he came to be so loathed was because Allende was a darling of the Western Left when the hated Nixon was president.

While it's true that Nixon and Kissinger have blood on their hands, how else do you fight a war? Ho Chi Minh and other revolutionaries also had blood on their hands. Che Guevara welcomed the cleansing fire of WWIII and wanted the Cuban Missile Crisis to escalate into a nuclear war.
The fact is Nixon and Kissinger, like Johnson and McNamara, inherited a conflict in Vietnam because Dwight Eisenhower meddled there when the French were on the ropes. Though Vietnamese were justified in in struggling to reunify their country, the US couldn't simply walk away from an ally during the height of the Cold War. Likewise, once the Soviets went all in on Afghanistan, it was difficult to pull out and risk looking weak, defeated by a bunch of cave-dwelling nomads.

As for Soviet involvement in Africa, what a disaster. As Che Guevara soon discovered during his African tour, blacks can't be taken seriously. All that Soviet aid in Mozambique, Angola, and Ethiopia did no good. They were all wasted. Also, whereas US foreign aid was based on surplus and over-abundance — every year, even during the Great Depression, the problem was in the US was over-production — , the Soviet Union with empty shelves could ill-afford foreign aid, especially with basketcase parts of the world. Of course, the US supported cutthroat bandits to attack and undermine those regimes, but the regimes themselves were utterly rotten.
Indeed, communism would have done better with a healthy dose of rational race-ism. Then, Russians would have realized that not all peoples are alike or interchangeable. Blacks have their own way of doing things. All the aid poured into Africa was lost. But then, the West discovered the same thing, though it keeps making the same mistakes. Tons of aid and the same misery.

Ultimately, mistakes were made by both sides that are recognized by the two countries today, as can be seen in the Communist Party of the Russian Federation’s negative historical view of Khrushchev and the denunciation of the Cultural Revolution and Gang of Four by the CPC (not “CCP”).

Blaming Khrushchev for the demise of the USSR is foolish. His reign was short-lived, and the long decline happened under those who ousted him. At the very least, Khrushchev tried to do something different. It caused problems but also created possibilities. But that spark was lost under the long mummified tenure of Brezhnev and co.
As for the Gang of Four, they were mere tools of Mao. They never had much power, just like Antifa is little more than street enforcers of the Jews. The so-called Gang of Four was only as powerful as Mao needed it to be. When no longer useful, they were tossed aside. It was Mao all along. Blaming the Gang of Four is like blaming the Rosato Brothers than Hyman Roth in THE GODFATHER PART 2. Mao ruined relations with the Soviet Union. Mao had Zhou En-Lai call in Nixon. But because Mao has such a godly presence in CCP lore, it's convenient to scapegoat the Gang of Four. The Gang was loathsome but wielded power only with Mao's approval.

China has since even apologized to Angola for its support of Jonas Savimbi.

Again, pure realpolitik. It has nothing to do with principles. It's just mouthing the necessary platitudes to do business. Had Savimbi prevailed in Angola, Chinese would be making nice with him or his successors. Reading anything other than opportunism into 99% of foreign policy is a fool's game.

...the break in political relations with Moscow also set the process in motion for China to develop its own interpretation of Marxism-Leninism that diverged from the Soviet model and eventually allowed a level of private enterprise which never occurred under the USSR...

It had nothing to do with ideology. Chinese turn to capitalism didn't flow from an alternative interpretation of Marxism but from pure exhaustion, desperation, and pragmatism. After the two whammies of the Great Leap and the Cultural Revolution, many Chinese were burnt out on ideology. They just about had enough, not least the Red Guards themselves as many of them had been sent off to work on farms. And historians now think Deng followed than led, i.e. as systems of control deteriorated during the Cultural Revolution and the economy got so bad, peasants took the initiative and began to work their own plots of land and sell their surplus. It had nothing to do with ideology but Chinese small-business enterprise spirit. CCP could have clamped down on this but decided to run with it as a last ditch effort to revive the economy. Also, China came to eye Singapore with special interest: An autocratic system that balanced socialism and capitalism and grew rich. And of course, China couldn't help but notice the economic gains of Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and etc. Of course, CCP rationalized the new policy in Marxist-sounding terms, but it had nothing to do with Marxism one way or another. It's likely that when Lee Kuan Yew met with Deng and others, he had private conversations to set them straight along the lines of, "We Chinese smart people. We good at math and work hard. Communism no make good use of big talent in China. Smart people better to make computer than shovel dung." The cat need not be red. Any colored cat is useful if it catches mice. Of course, CCP talks the talk about 'social justice', but it probably got some pointers about race realism from the likes of Lee.

When the Soviet Union dissolved, the tentative US–China alliance effectively ended and Sino-Russian rapprochement began. But what prevented the PRC from going the same route as the Eastern Bloc? Why did Deng succeed and Gorbachev fail?

Several factors explain this. Precisely because China was far poorer than the Soviet Union in the 1980s, Chinese had far lower expectations and did anything to survive and earn whatever they could. The scrounged, scratched, and struggled. They took nothing for granted and appreciated every tiny opportunity and every last morsel. Thus, Chinese made the most of their newfound freedoms, limited as they were.
In contrast, even though life in the Soviet Union was impoverished by Western standards, its citizens had a reasonably comfortable existence. They took jobs, wages, housing, and other amenities for granted. So, they were less desperate and had less fight/struggle in them. When Gorbachev came along and experimented with reforms, many thought communism/socialism would be replaced with instant prosperity of market economies in the West. Or, communism would make way for functional social-democracy. What they saw of the West was freedom and consumerism. Russians thought freedom = good life. But in fact, the West was richer not simply due to more freedom but lots of hard work. (If it took Soviet painters two weeks to paint a house, it took two days for those in the West.) The real formula was freedom + work ethic. Mere freedom leads to anarchy or lethargy. Freedom has to be contained and used properly. It's like Northern Italians make better use of freedom than Southern Italians. When Minnesota was almost all white and largely Scandinavian, it made good use of freedom. But when lots of blacks ended up there, freedom was used for criminality or parasitism. Russians thought freedom would lead to riches falling from the sky. They failed to understand that freedom meant they would have to take individual responsibility and work harder.
Under the Soviet System, things got built under Stalin because he used the whip. He ruled by fear, and those who failed to deliver could end up in the Gulag or worse. But once the Soviet Union loosened up, there was less tyranny to force people to work but not enough incentives to make people work harder. The result was a kind of stalemate, often described as "They pretend to pay us, and we pretend to work." Everyone did the bare minimum while expecting all the benefits due to the Proletariat as promised under communism. Why work harder when no one else did and when it was forbidden to become rich? The Soviet Union became like one big corrupt labor union. Imagine an entire society not only led by Jimmy Hoffa but managed by his team. It became difficult to fire anyone, and mediocrities were promoted for loyalty than ability. Still, there was just enough to maintain a decent comfortable life for most people as long as their expectations were modest. Also, the steadiness of the Soviet Union after Stalin's death led to a culture where everyone expected everything to remain the same. So, when the reforms came, people were more concerned with what they might lose than what they might gain. They didn't have much but still had enough in terms of wages and benefits to live a modern life.

In contrast, the Chinese were willing to take risks because they had nothing to lose. After Mao's rule, most Chinese had pretty much NOTHING. Even the iron rice bowl became a myth during the Great Leap. And in the 1970s, Mao came up with another hare-brained scheme of making everyone grow nothing but wheat or rice. So, people were deprived of fruits and veggies.
If you have something, you might fret to lose it even if it's not much. It's still something, which is better than nothing. That was the Soviet situation. But if you got nothing, what do you care about taking risks as you can only gain as you got nothing to lose. So, paradoxically, China was better positioned to take advantage of freedoms in the 1980s because it was like a nation of beggars. It's like a starving dog let loose will hunt for food whereas a half-fed dog, though not full, will stick with its regular doggy-bowl than hunt for food.

But there was also a cultural factor. Chinese have work ethic, Russians don't. It's like Germans have work ethic, the Spanish not so much. This made a huge difference. Culture matters. Chinese are like rodents always collecting and hoarding stuff. Russians are like bears that lumber around; when a bear is fed, it goes to sleep. Generally throughout history, Russians worked hard when forced under tyranny or by circumstances. When times are good or tolerable, Russians don't apply themselves. People with real work ethic work hard even when they don't have to. They feel guilty about not using their time constructively.
Also, Asians are more conformist and servile, and therefore they make better workers on the assembly line. There's less cuss and fuss about them. As China has had many poor people willing to work diligently for low wages for long hours, it was very useful to the Western elites who could then bypass national labor with its unions, demands, and legal protections.
Indeed, the economic success of free-wheeling Hong Kong proves that statism was not the main reason for China's economic rise. Taiwan and Hong Kong had already made great gains minus the statism.

Where statism is useful is in safeguarding and enforcing the noble fascist mythos of a nation. But this is so ONLY IF the regime has a proper fascist understanding of history and power. If the order is anti-fascist and anti-nationalist, the statist forces will push for racial demise and cultural decay. We see this in the West. The state has grown ever larger in both the US and EU, but why are they different from Russia and China? Because Western statism is managed by cuck-maggots who take their marching orders from Jewish Supremacist hegemonists. So, instead of proper national-humanist true fascism, there is gangster-fascism of arrogant elites and their comprador quislings. Statism is like the gun described by the hero in SHANE. Just like the gun is only as good as the person using it, the state or statism is only as good as the people controlling it. The problem with libertarians is they see the state itself as the enemy. Others see statism itself as the solution. In truth, it all depends on who controls the statism. It's like the gun in the hands of a law-abiding citizen is totally different from a gun in the hands of a crazed criminal. When Mao ruled the state, the CCP was like the most terrifying thing. But when the Chinese state came under control by men of pragmatism, China did much better.

At any rate, there needs to be a strong nationalist regime with proper fascist credentials. Without strong political power independent of the business class, the government(democratic or otherwise) simply turns into a tool of soulless plutocrats. In search of a 'soul', the plutocrats form a pact with faddish 'radicals' who provide the 'meaning' with their bogus theory of justice. The synthesis of big money and big mouth is what we have today, the kind of 'woke radicalism' that is rich-friendly, decadent, and obsessed over meaningless trivialities and idolatry. It's where Mayday turns into Gayday because homos are favored as standard-bearers of 'progress' because they are so catering to the rich and privileged. Or, it's the idolatry of the Negro because blacks dominate sports and pop music. As Jews are the richest people, most of 'progressive' politics in the West comes down to "Is it good for Jews?" It's about Jeff Bezos working with ADL, BLM, and tutti-fruity to gain 'wokemon' points for himself and his super-rich class.

Though the militarist regime in Japan committed serious crimes and the South Korean military dictatorship in the 70s could be brutal, they were still nationalist forces that kept the business class in line. But in the absence of nationalist-statist checks, the business class has taken over everything and bought up all politicians in Japan and South Korea. As the rich class are soulless and seek validation by status-conscious conformity to whatever is fashionable and faddish, moral values have gone down the toilet in both nations. In contrast, despite the problems of the CCP, it does have the power to rein in the excesses of the business class that is willing to sell anything to gain more in wealth and status.

One area where Russia may have an advantage over China is it has come to an honest terms with its history. The Russian case, though painful, proved that Russia is bigger than any single ideology or political party. Russia is the totality of Russian culture and history. Russian communism had its triumphs but also its tragedies. Russia was right to reject the gangster-capitalism of the 1990s but also right to honestly face the crimes of communism. Thus, Putin's Russia is on firm moral grounds. Its main foundation is nationalism, culture, and history, not ideology. And indeed, any great order must be built on something deeper and stronger than ideology. So, while the fall of the Soviet Union was very painful for Russia, the long-term effects are that Russians are truly free in their relation with history. They admire the achievements of the Soviet era but also have come to terms with its criminality and evils. In contrast, even though the CCP has remained and achieved amazing things, current Chinese system is founded on a lie and has yet to face its past honestly. Because Russia is free of ideology, it can honestly work with both capitalism and socialism. In contrast, China seems dishonest because it practices capitalism while still pretending to stand for communism. (In the long run, for any nation to survive, it must come to a reckoning with the fascist laws of history. After all, the best and the most noble things about current Russia and China are fascist: Reverence for the past, revolutionary in spirit, nationalist, open to socialism and capitalism, keen understanding of real power, and etc. There is no reason to believe that fascism must always be associated with Hitler and Nazism. That was only one kind of fascism, one that failed. Rejecting all of fascism because of Nazism is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Take the idea of 'empowerment'. Suppose someone empowers himself and does bad things with power. Does that mean we should reject the whole concept of empowerment and power? No, we need only to reject the misuse of power. Also, what political system hasn't misused its power? So-called 'liberal democracy' of the US committed 'genocide' against the natives and used slavery. Does that invalidate everything about democracy? So, instead of denouncing fascism, Russia and China would do better to formulate a better kind of fascism, the only truly honest theory of power. Then, the foundations of their power would truly be honest.)

Max Parry is correct that a people's reckoning with their dark past must NOT be outsourced to others who feign sympathy. The globalist Jews who took part in the creation of New Russia after communism had only one thing in mind: Loot Russia for Jewish Power. They were bad faith actors. Still, that doesn't mean it was wrong for Russians to honestly face up to the dark facts about the Soviet period. The thing is one must do it on one's own terms. It's like it was good of Germans to face up to their Nazi past but very foolish to outsource so much of it to Jews who will never forgive and are hellbent on destroying Germany for all eternity.

One day, if China is to be a genuinely decent nation, it must honestly face up to Mao's great crimes. True greatness isn't only about money and power but truth and honesty. But China should never allow outsiders to define and dictate the good and the bad of Chinese history. It must find its own voice. And the Chinese should especially not allow Jews to control the narrative. While there have been decent Jewish scholars and historians on China with good will, most Jews in the Western media and deep state are just snakes and weasels looking for vulnerabilities in order to take over.
Take White America for instance. US history is full of greatness and darkness. So much was achieved but at great costs. So, it was right of White America to come to terms with its dark chapters of history. But it foolishly outsourced this endeavor to Jews who merely exploited it to fill whites with 'white guilt' so as to control them as emotional sheeple of Jewish supremacism.

Khrushchev cannot be faulted on this account because he didn't outsource Soviet self-criticism to the outside world. He was for Soviets learning to criticize themselves, at least for awhile. Mikhail Gorbachev, a decent man, was more trusting of the West, and perhaps things would have turned out better if the reforms in Russia continued in cooperation with the West ruled by the likes of Nixon and Reagan. For all their faults, I don't see Reagan and Nixon as the kind of people who'd kick a bear when it's down. When Russia tried to move away from communism, there were good-faith actors willing to help. But by the 1990s, the boomer-Jewish takeover of the West was complete, and the kind of Western experts sent into New Russia were some of the most venal Jews that ever lived. They did to Russia what World Jewry did to Germany during the Weimar Period. They stripped it of everything and raped it raw. It's like how Neocons came over to the GOP to exploit it and squeeze it to its last drop of service to Israel and its wars. It's the difference between the Christian mentality and Jewish mentality. The tragedy of post-communist Russia was it underwent transformation to capitalism when Jews came to dominate foreign policy.

At any rate, ideology is never enough for a rich and complex civilization like Russia or China. This is why fascism is ideal. It appreciates tradition and heritage as well as the need for change and modernity. It has uses for capitalism and socialism. It also understands that man isn't simply a rational and materialist creature but a spiritual, mythic, and creative one. True Fascism can work if it rejects the Ridiculous Fascism of Mussolini and Ludicrous Fascism of Hitler.
Because Russia rid itself of communist ideology, it can truly be based on a civilizational foundation. Russia can freely draw from its deep history while also crediting achievements under the Soviet era. It is free to choose from its vast pool of history.
In contrast, as long as China remains chained to CCP ideology, it cannot properly appreciate all aspects of Chinese history. Mao must always be the great helmsman, and terrible lies must be perpetuated to further the myth. Also, much of Chinese history must be ignored or vilified because it doesn't sit well with the current ideology. It'd be much better if China moves away from CCP ideology and embraces a national humanist fascism.

In Russia, people can admire both the Whites who fought for Tsar & tradition and the Reds who fought for what they believed at the time to be justice and progress. People are free to see the good and bad of all sides. People can note the grave failures of Tsar Nicholas while also acknowledging he wasn't an evil man and meant well for his country. Russians can come to terms with Stalin's crimes while also praising him as the strong leader who led Russia to victory in the greatest of wars. It's a civilizational view. The US used to have it too. After the Civil War, when the dust settled, the victorious North gave the South its due. Southerners also fought for what they believed to be right, and they fought with courage and honor. Robert E. Lee was much respected. How richer the US was when it was free of ideology.
But now, with Jewish Power and its idolatry of the Noble Negro and its demonization of Evil Whitey, US history cannot be approached as a rich and complex web of triumphs and tragedies. It's all about good vs evil. Ideology is the idolatry of certain ideas over reality, and it impoverishes the mind.

China during the Cultural Revolution demonstrated the dangers of ideology. Just about any aspect of Chinese culture, history, heritage, and customs came under attacked and was destroyed because it didn't jibe with the prevailing ideology. So much art and culture was lost.

In the end, China is bigger than the CCP, and so, if the CCP is to really secure the future, it must move away from ideology and formulate a larger sense of what it means to be Chinese. That way, even Chiang Kai-Shek and KMT can be given their due as patriots in their own right than as permanent ideological villains. That way, Chinese no longer need to think in terms of 'left' vs 'right', a mindset that is downright toxic in the West.

Despite the fact that the report by the Soviet leader contained demonstrable falsehoods such as the absurd claim that Stalin, one of Russia’s most formidable bank robbers as a revolutionary, was a coward deathly afraid of the Nazi invasion as it neared Moscow during WWII, the self-serving speech split the international communist movement and laid the internal groundwork for the USSR’s eventual downfall.

Robbery isn't an act of courage. A duel takes courage as it's about an armed man vs an armed man. Robbery is an act of ambush on the unarmed. Stalin was a lowlife bandit when he robbed those ill-guarded banks. Also, it's been well-established that Stalin was in a state of utter gloom and despair when Germany invaded. He wasn't even sure his henchmen would stick by his side. I'd say his reaction was all-too-human and understandable. And what Russian in Moscow was not deathly afraid of the advancing Nazis?

Also, if some speech led to the eventual downfall of the Soviet Union, maybe the whole edifice was flimsy to begin with. What kind of a system is shaken to its core by a stinking speech? One would think the USSR was just a house of cards crumbling from a sneeze. Speech or no speech, Soviet Union was bound to suffer from arterial sclerosis because its state was at once too repressive for enterprise and too lax for coercion.
