Preempting China

Instead of fighting a pitched battle, it is better to fail the strategy of the opponent.

Of the late a lot is being read into the modus operandi of China, which by many standards has not been up to the mark. Rather it has been predatory. It's tactics have varied beyond  the spectrum of ethics & morals observed by comity of nations, but just short of being 'acts of war'.

Having lost the element of surprise due to exposure of  it's dealings under debt diplomacy, push for belt & road initiative, Confucius Institutes, it's tacit acts of meddling into internal politics of FVEY alliance & their associates etc, and due to the some  measures taken by US, Chinese economy is under pressure. But will it buckle to the extent that it can be balkanized ?.

As it can anticipated, China could not display all this audacity, if their strength was just limited to trade surpluses, T-bonds & forex reserves. They have managed to create assets, eco-systems & systems which they intend to use to achieve it's goal of creating alternate world order, that would exist & function outside the realms of current world order.

  The questions which needs to be answered is, did China manage to achieve any strategic strength(s) of value, which would provide it with a quantum jump over it's rival powers in terms of competitive advantage ?.

What would be it's chosen theater(s) for out competing the existing world powers ?. In which fields it assesses, that existing world power are on weaker grounds or their competitive advantages are short lived ?. In which field it would precisely push to establish it's supremacy ?.

Knowledge is power & it is a great leveler in present times.

With tactics of China under full open glare, it is likely to pull back & work in field of artificial intelligence, while keeping the west engaged & busy in regions like SCS & issues like large scale illegal immigration, promoting & fanning religious fault lines within the western societies etc.

AI has application in biotech, robotics etc but China is likely to work in a field where it's advantages & supremacy can be used to hoodwink & out-wit it's adversaries, so as to be in position to dictate it's terms. One such field in controlling weather patterns & climate. Other would be controlling vast amount of energy harnessed from sun or fusion or any other natural process.

China reminds of the Joker in Batman series!.

Create robot with capacity to take independent decisions beyond it's fixed instruction set,like humans.

https://twitter.com/i/status/1050594173525536768 Watching the clip of robot moving around with such dexterity, raised another question. What if, this robot a had the capacity to take decisions like humans. ie how to alter the course, if it encounters an input which is beyond the possibilities fed into it's command structure. I t is possible to design a robot which can 'think' and take decisions out of it's command structure with considerable flexibility, if the situation warrants. Such 'thinking' robots can be of immense use in fields of space exploration, un-manned surveillance at sea etc. It can be achieved within span of about 3 years, and at an expense. For this the basic underlying logic needs to be implemented for testing.

Great Game II : For God, glory & gold.

Global power like Britain has an moral obligation to assess, reassess & assert it's order & rules of institutions, which it had put in place over the centuries, at lot of cost to all & everyone. It is also obliged to counter threats to the existing order, from adversaries with malefic intentions of usurping the benefits of order, while undermining the very institutions they intend to destroy & replace with nothing in return, which current order sustains in spite of all its' shortcomings. Afghanistan was always an important consideration due to it's strategic location. It was important for all powers, including wannabees like China. China in 1938 had printed it's intent, which it went on to implement since. Recently during his evidence, Mr Kevin Rudd had strongly recommended for each country to have a strategy, independent of respective govts, to deal with China. Any country may have or may not  have strategy to deal with China, but China, through ...

Sustaining British world order : Observations.

    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 syst...
