Trump Security Adviser: China Threats of the Century

WASHINGTON – The President’s national security adviser United States (US) Donald Trump, Robert O’Brien, accused China trying to steal Covid-19 vaccine research from the West. This makes the Bamboo Curtain Country a competitor seeking to monopolize every important industry in the 21st century.

O’Brien told top British and US military and intelligence officials that China was a predatory force suppressing its people and trying to coerce Western neighbors and powers.(Also read: Britain Calls China Trying to Build the Largest Maritime Military Power in the World)

“The CCP seeks dominance in all domains and sectors (and) plans to monopolize every important industry into the 21st century,” O’Brien, using an acronym for the Chinese Communist Party, told the Atlantic Future Forum via video link to Navy aircraft carrier HMS. Queen Elizabeth.

“Recently the PRC has used cyber espionage to target companies developing Covid vaccines and treatments in Europe, Britain and the United States while heralding the need for international cooperation,” O’Brien said. Reuters, Thursday (22/10/2020).

China, under President Xi Jinping, says the West – and Washington in particular – is gripped by anti-Chinese hysteria, colonial thinking and anger that China is now once again one of the world’s top two economies.

China’s economic and military boom over the past 40 years is considered one of the most significant geopolitical events of late, alongside the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 which ended the Cold War.

O’Brien said the West had for decades made concessions to China, including World Trade Organization (WTO) membership. They believe China will open up economically and politically, while reducing its own barriers to foreign companies.

“Unfortunately, it is a promise that has not been kept to this day,” said the 54-year-old former Los Angeles lawyer.

Bolsonaro says he will not buy Chinese Sinovac vaccine

by

(EFE) – Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro affirmed this Wednesday that his Government will not buy the coronavirus vaccine developed by the Chinese company Sinovac and disavowed its Minister of Health, Eduareo Pazuello, who the day before announced the purchase of 46 million doses of the immunizer.

The head of state affirmed in messages on social networks that the Government you cannot commit to buying a vaccine whose efficacy and safety has not been proven previously by the Ministry of Health or certified by the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa).

His refusal came a day after Pazuello, an Army general who took over as Bolsonaro’s third minister during the pandemic, announce an agreement to buy 46 million doses of the so-called vaccine “Coronavac“ for 427 million dollars.

The “Coronavac” It is developed and experienced in Brazil by Sinovac in association with the Butantan Institute, a scientific institution linked to the state of Sao Paulo, whose governor, Joao Doria, is a major political rival of Bolsonaro.

“The Brazilian people will not be anyone’s guinea pig. A billionaire financial contribution is not justified in a medicine that did not even pass the testing phase, “said the head of state in a comment on his social networks and in which, by making it clear that his decision has a political connotation, he referred to Coronavac as “The Chinese vaccine of Joao Doria”.

“For my Government, any vaccine, before being made available to the population, has to be scientifically proven by the Ministry of Health and certified by Anvisa,” he added before making it clear that, given the above, “My decision is not to purchase the aforementioned vaccine.”

After a meeting on Tuesday with different governors, including Doria, Pazuello affirmed that he had signed a protocol of intentions to acquire Chinese medicine and expand the offer of vaccines against the coronavirus that will be offered to Brazilians.

The Government had already agreed with the company AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford to purchase 100 million doses of the vaccine that both are developing, and also joined the Covax initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO) to award another 40 million doses

The minister clarified that both the Sinovac and Oxford vaccines are still in the testing period and that, before being supplied, they must be certified by Anvisa.

The two vaccines are massively tested in Brazil, the second country with the most deaths from COVID-19 in the world after the United States, with 155,000 deaths, and the third with the most cases after the US and India, with 5.3 million infections.

No intention to purchase “Chinese Vaccines”

After Bolsonaro’s refusal, the Vice Minister of Health, Elcio Franco, in an attempt to minimize the disavowal of Pazuello, stated in a statement on television that for now “There is no intention to purchase Chinese vaccines.”

According to the vice minister, “there was a wrong interpretation of what the minister said, since at no time was the vaccine approved.”

Franco affirmed that the protocol of intentions signed by Pazuello to buy 46 million vaccines from the Butantan Institute is not binding and that it was signed “because it is an important partner of the Ministry of Health in the production of vaccines for the National Immunization Program.” .

He added that it was another “Initiative to try to offer safe and effective vaccines to the Brazilian population” but that will only be launched in the event of a delay in the project to produce the Oxford vaccine in Brazil.

“The premise to acquire any vaccine is based on safety, efficacy, scale production and a fair price. Any vaccine, when available, certified by Anvisa and purchased by the Ministry, will be offered to Brazilians by the National Immunization Program. And, as it depends on this portfolio, it will not be mandatory, “he said.

Expert Analysis of Japanese PM’s Visit to RI and Chinese Influence in the Region

by

Jakarta –

A number of observers at China consider a visit Japanese PM Yoshihide Suga to Indonesia as a threat to regional peace stability. International law expert Hikmahanto Juwana assessed that China has a desire for Indonesia to be behind it.

“From the Chinese statement, it appears that China has a desire for Indonesia to be behind it. For what reason? There is a statement that this is a threat to restrain Chinese influence,” said Hikmahanto, when contacted Wednesday (21/10/2020).

Hikmahanto said that China should not have objected if the allegations regarding the Japanese PM’s visit were correct. According to him, this is because Indonesia is a sovereign and impartial country.

“If it was true that the PM’s visit was as alleged by China, China should not have objected. Considering that Indonesia and Japan are sovereign countries. Moreover, Indonesia has a free and active polygyny, naturally we will not side with one of the opposing forces,” he said. .

He also questioned what China could offer Indonesia if the Japanese visit was seen as a threat. Hikmahanto is of the view that Indonesia will refuse if what is offered only makes Indonesia dependent on Japan.

“If China feels that Japan is a threat to hold back China’s influence in the Asia Pacific, including Indonesia, then what can China offer to Indonesia,” said Hikmahanto.

“If what is being offered is to make Indonesia dependent, then Indonesia will clearly refuse. Indonesia will prefer Japan, even the US, Australia or European Union countries,” he continued.

Hikmahanto said, currently Indonesia does not reject loans from outside parties. However, he considered this loan, not a loan that made Indonesia dependent on other parties.

“Indonesia under the leadership of President Jokowi does not prohibit foreign loans, as long as these loans do not make Indonesia dependent. This is precisely what China wants,” he said.

Hikmahanto assessed that Indonesia needs to remain free and active even though it is dragged into the interests of the South China Sea, between the US-Japan and China. This is because Indonesia implements a free and active foreign policy for the national interest.

“Yes, as we are currently free and active, we do not betray any country. Indonesia implements free and active polygyny for Indonesia’s national interests, so the President opened himself up to PM Suga’s visit, even allowing Defense Minister Prabowo to go to the US to discuss defense issues,” he concluded.

Once upon a time, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga met with Indonesian President Joko Widodo and both agreed to continue cooperation in various fields, especially health, security and the economy.

A number of observers in China said PM Suga’s visit to Vietnam and Indonesia indicated that Japan was actively starting to help and ensure the Indo-Pacific strategy to contain China’s influence in the Southeast Asia region.

Media belonging to the Chinese Communist Party, The Global Times, reported observers were also worried that the agreement made by Japan in Southeast Asia would threaten the stability of peace in the region.

The Global Time quoted Da Zhigang, director and researcher of the Institute of Northeast Asian Studies at the Heilongjiang Provincial Academy of Social Sciences as saying the military deal would instead increase the difficulty of reaching a multilateral consensus on the South China Sea dispute.
