THE VINEYARD OF THE SAKER The China-Russia Double Helix Part 1 of 4: Resistance Larchmonter 445, White Paper on Russia-China Resistance, Vineyard of the Saker, 2014 Vladimir Putin said it clearly: "Russia and China will have a significant effect on the entire system of international relations. The relationship will be a significant factor in world politics and will affect the contemporary architecture of international relations . . ." And to state precisely what this relationship means in geopolitical sea change, President Putin continued: "Russia and China have never had such trusting relations in the military field as they do now. Military exercises have been in joint war games at sea and ground both in Russia and China." (1 <http://rbth.co.uk/news/2014/04/17/putin_russian-chinese_relations_to_affect _entire_system_of_intl_relation_35967.html> ) The mega trade deals we have seen this year and military exercises are more than normal cross-border trade or cooperative events between neighbors or partners. (2) The 'relationship' is affecting the global order. The two nations are forming a resistance front against destabilization and the weapons of chaos of a unipolar system. Russia and China are working together to stabilize international trade, diplomacy and military balances; yet, ironically, this is disruptive. Russia and China are sovereign nation resistance fighters against the Hegemon. The Hegemon is the unipolar Empire of the United States. This context of geopolitical strategies is paramount to bear in mind. The Hegemon is threatening to contain both Russia and China economically with exclusionary trade agreements (TPP and TTIP) that leave China and Russia out or marginalized as second tier members, while each is bordered militarily with nuclear weapons on missiles of the trade partners, Hegemon's allies and vassals. (This is the so-called missile defense shield of the West.) These hegemonic trade agreements will shut out China and Russia from further integration with the two groups. Limits for growth, suppression of development due to monopoly of intellectual properties, oppressive clean energy and pollution control regimes, limits on construction and sale or purchase and use of certain commodities will slow infrastructure projects, not only within both nations, but constrict each nation from contracting for projects in other nations (their own partners that are emerging or developing nations). Thus, the Hegemon has the strategic intention to limit the elimination of poverty in the world, and control trade everywhere on the globe. The unipolar world will be finalized and secured by the Hegemon. There will be Elites and there will be poverty forever for most of the remaining nations. Of course, the resistance and evolutionary partnering by Russia and China has made this hegemonic outcome impossible, unless one or both Russia and China are destabilized and/or regime change ensues. Therefore, what both nations face is an economic and military challenge that clearly is existential in threat level. Russia is first, and China is next on the hegemonic hit list. Full Spectrum Battlefield The threat against China and Russia is a full spectrum battlefield: they are facing potential AirSeaSpaceCyberElectromagnetic warfare, not exempting chemical, biological and nuclear; soon to include laser and hypersonic weapons; economic warfare; and war by proxy armies, NGO organizations, covert operators and agents, with global media demonization and propaganda in psyops mode. Each nation in the resistance partnership had to permit the other to look, touch and feel deeply into one another's most treasured defense secrets, once armed against the other, now united with a new partner. They knew they were in the same 'foxhole' facing the same enemy. And they both understood, that in time, neither would survive without the other. There had never been a hegemon so desperate or so fundamentally weak, yet so powerfully equipped to destroy all normalcy, perhaps, most of humanity, if need be, for it to survive. China-Russia had to protect one another and then try to save humanity and world order. The initial attack was economic, not military. It hit Russia. Background of the Resistance Neither Russia nor China presented themselves as rivals to the Hegemon, and both considered they had trade partnerships, geopolitical cooperative relationships and multitudinous common interests with the Hegemon. There were some irritations at the edges, but nothing was truly confrontational, except that which was instigated, paid for, planned and managed by the Hegemon with its vassals. So, economy, military and terrorism are the main battlefields in this full spectrum containment and destabilization against the Hegemon's two greatest resistors. (This resistance is to unipolar domination in all its manifestations.) Thus, we came to 2014. Because of the Sochi Olympics, the year 2014 became the focus of the color revolution rebirth in Ukraine. The 'planners' in the State Department and CIA had eight years to aim a two-prolonged destabilization that turned the failed Orange Revolution in Kiev into the Maidan. We all are very aware that this transformation was evil at its core, illegal, murderous, unconstitutional and had only one aim-to present Russia with an armed, psychologically-tuned, xenophobic Ukrainian force that would, first sweep away the Russian language, then the Russian speakers, i.e., Ukrainian citizens, in East Ukraine, next to Rostov and along a virtual open border, with nominally few defenses, merely, formal 'crossings' with no vestige of militarization on either side. This violent upheaval was timed perfectly while President Putin presided over a $50 Billion investment in developing Sochi, hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics, eight years of stewardship identifiable as his greatest public project and intended to lift the internal spirits of his people, while demonstrating, as the Chinese had in 2008 with a Summer Olympics, that Russia, too, was back to greatness, accomplished and peaceful, a tourist attraction year-round in Sochi, and all troubles were in the past. President Xi had announced he would attend the opening ceremonies. China and Russia were coming of age and were proud to show support in all matters of interest to both. They had voted as one to stop the American air attack on Syria, vetoing the resolution in the Security Council, and demanding resolution of the conflict by diplomatic means. So, in peace and war, sports and commerce, the two leaders scheduled six meetings for 2014. Some would be bi-lateral, some within the context of multi-lateral groups in which both held membership. The Ukraine and China But Ukraine and the Maidan coup also attacked China in its pocketbook and its plans for East Ukraine and Crimea. China has a long history of interaction with Ukraine. Not just the modern 'state' of Ukraine, peeled off from the Russian Federation, in 1991, by Yeltsin in the Belovezha Accords. They were linked by technology and science study in the days before the Soviet Union threatened China and the two had hot shooting border wars, 1960-1989. In December 2013, the Chinese and Ukraine had signed a strategic partnership agreement that was inclusive of guarantees of a shield against nukes because Ukraine has signed the non-proliferation treaty. China was guaranteeing Ukraine protection from any aggressor, quite unusual in China's foreign policy actions. (19) (20) This was signed on December 5, 2013. Chinese scientists and technicians trained in Ukraine, studied in Ukraine, and purchased from Ukraine when it was the home base of rockets, missiles, aircraft engines, and other software and metallurgically-supported systems. Ukraine was where Russia (Soviet Union) had invested hundreds of billions of dollars in institutes and industries for computation, mathematics and weapons development. Ukraine was from whom the Chinese bought the incomplete aircraft carrier that China has since finished and called the Liaoning. The Chinese recently were coming back to Ukraine and the Black Sea wealthier than ever, and desiring to help Ukraine with infrastructure while getting food from the fertile fields, grains, vegetables and fruits. In Crimea, the Chinese were interested in the Kerch Bridge project and possible tunnel from Russia to Crimea. These are China's strengths today-infrastructure, roads, rail, fiber optic, ports, bridges, and building what they saw as the western depot for the Eurasian Economic Belt, and New Silk Road. China understood Ukraine was Russian, at least the east and south were Russian. They had the contracts with Ukraine in Russian and Chinese. These contracts and diplomatic partnerships were part and parcel the Chinese connecting the dream of President Xi's Eurasian Silk Road with the Putin Eurasian Union dream. Ukraine was crucial because both dreams had merged into one gigantic Eurasia Development concept to be powered with Russian energy sources and Chinese wealth. Ukraine was to function as the turntable to Europe, north, west, east and south. Ukraine benefitted from the gas pipeline to Europe. It could have become a very rich transit point. Instead, Kiev chose suicide and began to kill its own citizens, going into virtual bankruptcy, losing its sovereignty, and festering into freakish and zombified ghoulery. Ukraine embraced fascism and Nazism, as it waged a war of attrition upon its entire nation. So far, Ukraine is losing the war against Ukraine, predictably, logically and tragically. However, it did stop China's investments, forestalled the Ukrainian development projects, and does not permit itself to trade with anyone the Hegemon does not approve. (We all remember 'Czech apples', a sad consequence of similar vassal behavior by the Czechs.) As events developed in late winter, two things happened on Feb. 23, 2014: Kiev fell to the junta's snipers and the Olympics ended. The Sochi Olympics were a huge, resplendent success, despite the unprecedented West's media campaign to disparage and nullify the actuality. The media might as well have declared the sun gone from the sky and all the oceans had dried. Sochi and Putin had triumphed, no disaster, no terrorism, just a brilliant project with a superb display of Russian culture and expertise. The Russians also dominated the winter sports and competitively defeated American athletes in most venues. Sochi has since hosted the Formula 1 race in August. The facility has been declared by the racers and the industry as the best racetrack facility in the world. Again, you can't make this stuff up. Putin was on a roll. The more the West demonized him the greater Russia looked, the higher his approval ratings and the more China wanted him as a partner, a unique partner. China's Unique Partnership China has 58 or so partnership agreements with various nations. There are many categories. They created a new definition for its supreme category with Russia: Comprehensive Strategic Collaborative Partnership. (3) Since there is this unique partnership that sets it apart, we should look closer at what is going on in 2014, for this year has been more than unique. It has seen an evolutionary event, not merely a resistance movement against the Hegemon. Nature provides what it needs for a species to survive. Humanity is seeing this within the relationship of China and Russia. I call it the Double Helix, merely because it is apt as a metaphor, not because every biologic or chemical fact in DNA is represented in the relationship. But similarities exist and Double Helix depicts this evolution nicely. To decode the DNA of the relationship in this Double Helix of Bear and Dragon, we can look closer at the 'base pair molecules' of each strand. First, there are the 'helices' that each strand comprises. These are the complimentary characteristics that make this new genetic partnership work. They are what we would normally evaluate to decode any single nation's 'DNA'. Some nations have similar, some less, none have as much as or as profoundly essential to sustain continued growth and development and separation from the Hegemon, as well as security from threats. Thus, the Double Helix, China-Russia. From: http://www.mediafire.com/view/08rzue8ffism94t/China-Russia_Double_Helix.docx -- -- You are subscribed. This footer can help you.
