Pivot to the East?

https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/game-set-and-match-well-played-china/

I do not know to what degree 'China' or its governing identity structure, has independence.

A transnational financial leverage has been active as a hidden leverage through every kind of fronting proxy - including all sides of conflicts.

So the 'pivot to the East' may be the shifting from a hollowed out host to another, as could be argued in various previous 'fallen orders' or revolutions and victories.

Identity structures are never really independent. Action and reaction operate the realm of conflicts, coercions and deceits.

The Western mercantile past in terms of China - including the opium wars - and western mercenary support to crush a Christian inspired Boxer rebellion against a corrupt aristocracy - could echo in the undermining of the West by drug-corruptions, and crushing any moral realignment of human solidarity. But I cant assign this to China - excepting as it can be used or rused into actions and reactions that are set up by a third party.

The 'Intelligence services' that particularly grew from wars that would not have had fuel to burn without Banking and Industrial Cartels, may find more in common - along with such cartel interests, than any 'national' identity - such as to agree together to control their own populations via all kinds of conflict drive narratives. For a corruption and replacement of national security with global security - that targets the mind of the populace as the asset to be moulded and utilised toward an unobstructed 'freedom' to experimental fantasy upon the minds and bodies of  the 'Othered'.

This is the insider-speak of do you want to eat, or be meat?

Entering this framing is to become eaten by a cynical willingness to mask in virtues so as to manipulate the 'meatheads'.

The easy way to show that such is baseless and deluded is to reveal a true humanity by choosing not to present the mask of virtue over hidden manipulative agenda.

Who would use others is willing to be used. If that is 'power' do you truly want it?

Anyone seeking to act with integrity in a world running such masking codes of mainstream manipulation is outnumbered by everything excepting honesty of being.

I see a kind of checkmate playing out, but more as the logical outcome of insane premise running to its conclusion. The agenda of lording it over the subjugated and broken, is also its starting place. The wish to 'be as gods...'.

True workability is an attribute of the Divine.

I see that systemic control kills the very life that true law upholds.

To set up a law or system or identity structure at odds with and set against the Way Life Works, is self-destructive. 'Control' is not what it seemed - but rather a Pandora's box that repackages unresolved conflict into complex instruments of manipulative self-illusion presenting as solutions that push the 'problem' into the future - until time runs out in which to generate evasive manoeuvres.
