Biden Keeps Lying About The United States "Not Trying To Surround" China by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

President Biden had a recent interview with CNNs Fareed Zakaria during which he defended his controversial decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine and suggested that the United States can continually support Ukraine the way it supports Israel rather than adding it to the NATO alliance.

About halfway through the interview Biden said something about China that is worth flagging, because the claim he makes is self-evidently false, and it is not the first time he has made it.

Describing the conversations he has been having with Chinas President Xi Jinping, President Biden said the following:

"We are going to put together the Quad which is India, Australia, the United States and Japan. I got a call from him [Xi] on that. He said why are you doing that. I said we are not doing that to surround you, we are doing that to maintain stability in the Indian Ocean and in the South China Sea. Because we believe the rules of the road about what constitutes international air space, international space and the water should be maintained."

President Biden uttered this same bogus talking point about not trying to surround China last month at the private fundraising event where he made headlines by calling Xi a "dictator":

"But what he was really upset about was that I insisted that we - we reunite the Qu- - so-called Quad. He called me and told me not to do that because it was putting him in a bind. I said, All we are doing - we are not trying to surround you, we are just trying to make sure the international rules with air and sea lanes remain open."

President Biden is lying. The United States is deliberately surrounding China with war machinery and has been for years, and has rapidly escalated its efforts to do so during Bidens term. There are currently no fewer than 313 United States military bases in East Asia by the Pentagons own admission, with the Biden administration adding four new ones in the Philippines.

President Bidens war machine has been busy instituting the AUKUS alliance which is specifically set up to menace China, moving nuclear-capable bombers to Indonesia, signing a military deal with Papua New Guinea, working to station missile-armed marines at Japans Okinawa islands, staging provocations in Taiwan, and getting into increasingly confrontational encounters with Chinese military vessels and aircraft off Chinas coast as part of its dramatically increased military presence in the area.

So of course the United States is trying to surround China, as evidenced by the mountains of United States war machinery that are being moved into areas surrounding China.

President Biden can babble all he wants about wanting to secure sea lanes and protect international waters, but only a drooling idiot would believe the worlds most powerful empire is militarily surrounding its top geopolitical rival as an act of defense.

And Beijing is under no illusions about this. Xi said in a speech earlier this year that "Western countries - led by the United States - have implemented all-round containment, encirclement and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our countrys development."

So President Biden is not trying to fool the Chinese government with his "We are not trying to surround you" schtick - he is trying to fool you.

He is trying to fool the western public and the allies of the United States, who would get spooked if the United States president openly admitted to a deliberate campaign of militarily encirclement against an economic superpower they all trade with extensively.

You simply cannot understand the geopolitics and major conflicts of the 2020s without understanding that the United States empire has been actively amassing military threats in the immediate surroundings of its top two rivals - China and Russia - that it would never tolerate anyone else amassing anywhere near the United States.

The single dumbest thing the United States empire asks us to believe nowadays is that surrounding its two biggest foes with war machinery is a defensive action, rather than an act of extreme aggression!!

The best advice I can offer about United States-China tensions is to ignore the words and watch the actions. Ignore what officials say about wanting peace and not trying to surround China and supporting the One China policy etc, and just watch all the United States war machinery that is being rapidly added to that region.

The United States empire is better at international narrative manipulation than any power structure that has ever existed in human history, but what they can not spin away is the concrete maneuverings of solid pieces of war machinery, because they are physical realities and not narratives!!
