Superior race is superior till the time it believes itself to be superior.
Centuries of colonialism has taken its toll on British society. The culture of colonialism required that the rulers alter original priorities on both sides & bring to centre a subculture, which was hitherto subordinate to the two confronting cultures.
Colonization of undivided India by British led to a period of shared history, culture & destiny. It did not end with the exit of British 1947. Today British are ultimately camouflaged victim of colonialism, albeit at an advanced stage of psychosocial decay. Due to growing intellectual sensitivity of rigid British social classes, social indifference & falling quality of life, there is even reluctance to criticize the vagaries of alien cultures.
In order to tackle the growing friction between co-existing cultures, the administration seems to be dabbling with a dangerous experiment of an open political system, liberalism & intellectual pluralism, to subdue the cultural priorities of the Untermensch, who might actually have a counter-agenda.
Colonialism had it’s negative side effects on the British psyche, which tied it to the culture of domination & masculine traits like aggression, achievement, control, competition & power. While on other hand Muslims are also victims of a culture of hyper masculinity. Over stressing conformance to the ways of past heros, they harbor a secret defiance in the heart that they are morally & culturally superior, but just happen to be on the wrong side of history !. So no doubt, fault lines are appearing & clash of civilizations is imminent. Britain does not deserve to end up like this.
It will be naive for Europeans to think that they can' modernize' muslims. Since 1925, when British scrapped the Ottoman empire, & installed Sauds at the helm of affairs, Muslims have learnt to deal with successive political defeats & instability by moving back to traditional order. Though having been defeated in 1925, they have avoided colonization of their minds by sticking to their traditional order, & refusing to take the bait of individual rights, slighting the ways of the west, and be a hated enemy, unworthy of any respect.
Under such circumstances, it is plausible to state that a docile minority of Indians, may be preferable than a group whose throughout existence, violence has been a desired virtue.
Challenge of the states to existing World order.
Inspite of all the resources & reasons to be a global hegemon, Russians do not appear to in race for the simple reason that they lack both will & system of systems to be one. So their current effort might be to stay industrialized & restrict to a specific domain. But neo rich China has all the intent & capability to emulate & create the system of systems, required to achieve success similar to British’s success in creating world order over the period of centuries.
As an European strategist Mackinder had suggested, anyone who controlled mittel Europa, would command heartland, & who so ever controlled heartland, would control whole Eurasia & hence the whole world. Through BRI China intends to take a shot at this possibility too.
China's ambitions of global domination, & to replace the UK as the center of the world depends on it's hegemony of SCS. If it manages to choke traffic through SCS, a major chunk of traffic will shift to BRI, thus bringing it to a pivotal position. It's future depends on BRI's success & failure of BRI will have wider ramifications for China.
The Chinese miracle.
It is assumed that of total global trade in counterfeits is to the tune of USD 4.2 trillion, of which about 80% emanates from China. It has used profits from it's illegal businesses of counterfeit trade, illegal fishing, real estate, casinos, drugs to subsidize it's exports, through which it has devastated economies & industries worldwide. It uses it's banks & FIs to mainstream the ill-gotten profits.
It is thus a double whammy for industries in the west. They lose the legitimate business to counterfeits, and then are subjected to barrage of cheap Chinese goods.
China’s system of systems : The constituents.
- Achieve parity with the west in terms of technology, irrespective of the fact whether it has been achieved by deceit or earned through self effort. Most of the technology available with China has been achieved by dubious means. Without depth of knowledge infrastructure in China in terms of R&D facilities & universities, the technology acquired may become redundant within next few years, if not improvised.
Apart from knowledge infrastructure, it lacks the status of leader, motivation & vision to lead & provide direction to the nature of R&D that should be sought to further the goals, because like west it does not own the prevailing technologies & hence cannot decide about the nature of next break through required.
- Ecosystem
It’s element of system of systems is based on force, coercion & deceit which is definitely not sustainable over the period of time. While the system of systems followed by the UK is largely subtle soft power based like controlling institutions, having allied & natural partners.
China is trying to bulldoze & bribe it’s way into African & other target countries & achieve it’s strategic goals. Though it does not enjoy acceptance by the masses at grass root level, as the UK does through it’s commonwealth & soft diplomacy. Through trial & error & game theory, China has perhaps worked out the threshold flashpoint for each region & country, within which it operates to salami slice & control territories of others.
Tibet : While controlling the source of water for the majority of countries in south east & south Asia, China , on the pretext of creating artificial rain is actually experimenting the ways to disrupt & change weather patterns in Indian subcontinent & Europe, by manipulating Somali Jet Stream .
South East Asia is already witnessing a change in weather pattern , wherein after prolonged rainfall, and a typhoon in the Philippines , early winter is predicted in this year 2018. Reports enclosed.
Africa
Source for most of the economic problems can be traced to the fact that today so much idle capital is chasing limited ideas.
Africa can be part of European civilization. Number of African countries were colonies to different European powers, and hence they can still serve as satellite states. These African countries have well entrenched conducive ecosystem, & look upon their colonizers for civilization. It may be in the interest of European states to explore the possibility of offering civilization with development to their respective satellite states, so that it is win win situation for both. Illegal immigration can be reversed. Africa gets it’s much needed development. Europe gets access to natural resources, carbon credits, consumers & capital gets attached to some right ideas.
Of the late, China is luring African nations for self interest. But the track record of Chinese investing has been found wanting on basic factors like ethics & intent.
With Africans attached to Europe, society can have be comprehensive with critical mass required to sustain. Immigrants from Syria/Iraq may be send back, as they might be reluctant to assimilate culturally.
Defining the role of south east Asia.
No world order can be complete without the dominance of Indian sub continent . Pakistan has been a black sheep of all the former British colonies. It’s secret service, ISI emulates United Front department in functioning & through the limited achievements realized thus, has become Pakistan’s nemesis.
Due to it’s follies, Pakistan has become a sitting duck for China, and through BRI Chinese conquest of the strategic region, west of India would be complete. It is important for the current world order that China is not able to subdue or colonize any portion of the Indian subcontinent.
China has long coveted East Indian plains for it's fertility & minerals, which are only second to that of Ukraine. It has already made in road into Nepal by rail. Once it crosses the Himalayas by train, then it's ecosystem of Naxalites & Islamists would be handy to control ‘red corridor’ in India. Rather than it's economy, Nepal has strategic value for China.
As far as India is concerned, it is the only other country & civilization which is complementary to British values & ethos. Thus, to protect it’s global ambitions, and maintain current world order, British must try to create at least an economic union of Pakistan & India and control it through it’s institutions. The UK can never be complete without this region. This is Karma. Whether one likes it or not.
