U.S. Jimmy Carter Took Call About China From Concerned Donald Trump: 'China Has Not Wasted a Single Penny on War' BY DAVID BRENNAN ON 4/15/19 AT 5:12 AM EDT https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-jimmy-carter-china-war-infrastructure-economy-trade-war-church-1396086 Former President Jimmy Carter delivers a lecture at the House of Lords on February 3, 2016, in London. Carter said he recently received a phone call from President Donald Trump in which the president expressed concern that China had outpaced the U.S. NEIL HALL-WPA POOL/GETTY IMAGES Former President Jimmy Carter told a church congregation this weekend that he had spoken with President Donald Trump about China on Saturday, and said the commander in chief was worried that Beijing had outpaced its global rivals. According to Emma Hurt, a reporter for NPR affiliate WABE, Carter spoke of the call during his regular Sunday School lesson at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter, 94, said Trump was worried that "China is getting ahead of us," and suggested the president was right to be concerned.
He told the congregation that Trump feared China's growing economic strength. Economic modeling indicated that China would overtake the U.S. as the world's strongest economy by 2030, and many experts have said that we were already living in what has been dubbed the "Chinese Century." NEWSWEEK NEWSLETTER SIGN-UP > Carter said he did not "really fear that time, but it bothers President Trump and I don't know why. I'm not criticizing him this morning," he added, to laughs from fellow churchgoers. Carter—who normalized diplomatic relations between Washington and Beijing in 1979—suggested that China's breakneck growth had been facilitated by sensible investment and buoyed by peace. "Since 1979, do you know how many times China has been at war with anybody?" Carter asked. "None. And we have stayed at war." The U.S., he noted, has only enjoyed 16 years of peace in its 242-year history, making the country "the most warlike nation in the history of the world," Carter said. This is, he said, because of America's tendency to force other nations to "adopt our American principles." In China, meanwhile, the economic benefits of peace were clear to the eye. "How many miles of high-speed railroad do we have in this country?" he asked. While China has some 18,000 miles of high-speed rail, the U.S. has "wasted, I think, $3 trillion" on military spending. "It's more than you can imagine. China has not wasted a single penny on war, and that's why they're ahead of us. In almost every way." NEWSWEEK SUBSCRIPTION OFFERS > RELATED STORIESa..

We'd have high-speed railroad. We'd have bridges that aren't collapsing, we'd have roads that are maintained properly. Our education system would be as good as that of say South Korea or Hong Kong," Carter told the congregation. Before he left the pulpit, Carter noted, "I wasn't comparing my country adversely to China. I was just pointing that out because I happened to get a phone call last night." The Trump administration remains locked in a costly trade war with China, though Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Saturday the end could be in sight. "I think we're hopeful that we're getting close to the final round of concluding issues," Mnuchin told reporters, according to The Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, military tensions remain over Chinese territorial claims in the South China Sea and its continued insistence that the independent island nation of Taiwan will eventually fall back under Beijing's control. SATU Komentar di WAG: Saya sebagai orang Amerika benar-benar ingin tahu bagaimana China menjadi musuh publik nomor satu dunia, bagaimana kita bisa berdagang dengan China tetapi ingin memusnahkan mereka dengan napas yang sama? China BUKAN musuh publik dunia. Hanya AS dan sekutu bawahannya yang berpikir seperti itu. Menurut catatan pemungutan suara Majelis Umum Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa, lebih banyak negara di dunia yang memilih dan mendukung China daripada yang memilih dan mendukung AS. Menurut Jimmy Carter, China mencintai perdamaian dan AS adalah negara yang PALING penghasut perang dalam sejarah umat manusia. Bagaimana Anda menggambarkan sebuah negara yang menghabiskan 95% dari seluruh sejarahnya untuk berperang? Mereka tidak ragu-ragu untuk berperang dengan siapa pun yang tidak mengikuti apa yang mereka ingin Anda lakukan untuk mereka dan sesuai ideologi mereka. Dengarkan apa yang dikatakan Jimmy Carter tentang AS dan China: "Sejak 1979, apakah Anda tahu berapa kali China berperang dengan siapa pun?" tanya Carter. "Tidak ada. Dan kami tetap berperang." AS, katanya, hanya menikmati 16 tahun perdamaian dalam 242 tahun sejarahnya, menjadikan negara itu "negara yang paling suka berperang dalam sejarah dunia," kata Carter. Ini, katanya, karena kecenderungan Amerika untuk memaksa negara-negara lain untuk "mengadopsi prinsip-prinsip Amerika kita." AS adalah rezim yang PALING munafik, idiot, penghasut perang dan intimidasi yang terus mencampuri urusan negara lain untuk keuntungan mereka sendiri. Jimmy Carter menerima telepon tentang China dari Donald Trump yang prihatin: "China tidak menyia-nyiakan satu sen pun untuk perang" Mantan Presiden Jimmy Carter mengatakan Trump khawatir bahwa "China mendahului kita," dan dia menyarankan presiden untuk khawatir. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-jimmy-carter-china-war-infrastructure-economy-trade-war-church-1396086 China dan AS memiliki mentalitas yang sangat berbeda. China lebih utamakan perdagangan! Semakin banyak negara di dunia menjadi lebih kaya, semakin banyak China dapat berdagang dengan mereka dan menjadi lebih kaya bersama. Oleh karena itu, China berusaha menjadi kaya bersama sebanyak mungkin negara didunia. Sebaliknya AS bersikap membiarkan banyak negara dan masyarakat dunia tetap lemah dan miskin, dan bahkan banyak yang mati kelaparan, dengan demikian Barat dapat melanjutkan dominasi mereka atas dunia secara ideologis, politik, dan militer. Selama China tidak di bawah kendali AS dan China menjadi lebih maju dan kuat, AS berusaha keras menghadang dan menekan, menjelek-jelekkan, menghina, menjatuhkan sanksi dan menyerang China. Dengan menghasut orang-orang China tanpa henti dan tidak akan berhenti menentang dan menghancurkan China! -- Anda menerima pesan ini karena Anda berlangganan grup "GELORA45" dari Google Grup.
