The rise of China as a world
superpower has hitherto been a long path marked with several successes and
advances, but also significant drawbacks and failures. The Arab Spring can be
seen from many viewpoints and interpreted as per its impact on diverse states,
but it was indisputably a severe impediment to China's attempt to penetrate in
Africa and offer the numerous African nations a trustworthy perspective and a
valuable support in terms of nation building and sustainable development. It
goes without saying that, if the Chinese establishment truly intends to bring
forth a groundbreaking change at the worldwide level, Beijing must carefully take
the lesson of those circumstances before 13 years and overwhelmingly modify
China's understanding of perplex situations and approach to long standing
problems, notably the European colonialism in Africa and elsewhere.
In the first part of this series of
articles, I expanded on a) the centuries-old Western hatred of Egypt, b) the
existing historical threats against the Valley of the Nile, c) the gradual
process of decomposition that the criminal Western gangsters applied to Libya
and the Sudan over the past 12 years, and d) the direct relationship between
the otherwise worthless Renaissance Dam (also known as GERD), which has been built
in the Occupied Benishangul land (currently province) of Abyssinia (Fake
Ethiopia), and the Abyssinian 'Prophecy' against Egypt and Sudan. This is the

In the present article, I will
complete the presentation of the Egyptian approach to the need of the Egyptian-Chinese
Military Alliance and I will expand on the Chinese perspective towards the
topic.

Destabilization of the Red Sea Region

Super-power

of China's Worldwide Predominance
I. The War in Gaza
and the Destabilization of the Red Sea Region
The War in Gaza, which started with
the attack of the 7th October 2023, has nothing to do with the supposed
liberation of Palestine (and even less with the formation of a Palestinian
state); even more importantly, it is absolutely unrelated to the Islamic world.
Hamas has been acknowledged as a functional outfit of the Israeli, English and
American secret services, which envisioned, fabricated, established, promoted
and imposed it on all the Palestinians, duly fooling them with associated nationalist
and Islamist literature as well as numerous silly lies that only the already
besotted populations could possibly take seriously. The fact that the secret
services of Israel, England and America had their own stooges in the shameful
outfit, tried to pull it closer to the interests of one or another country, and
kept struggling for prevalence in and control of Hamas is of secondary
importance. What matters is that Hamas was never a truly Palestinian let alone
Muslim organization in spite of the public prayers of their leaders. They
thought they were genuine, independent and unrestrained but in reality they
were always closely manageable and totally maneuverable.
The War in Gaza has the meaning that
its true instigators want to give it. This is essential to understand. The
conflict is neither local nor regional; it is a worldwide conflict or, if you
prefer, a World War. It has local repercussions in the sense that Gazan
Palestinians -due to their leaders' foolishness- lost their homes forever. It
does have a regional impact indeed; this concerns mainly Egypt, Lebanon, Syria
and to lesser extent other countries (Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Turkey,
Iran).
Although Lebanon and Syria have
repeatedly been the targets of Israeli attacks (as far as Haleb/Aleppo), I
mention Egypt first because the potential danger is greater and imminent. If
the entire Gazan population is further pushed to the border, the government of Egypt
will find themselves in an almost impossible position. With a chaotic situation
in Libya, with Sudan plunged in civil war (in which one of the fighting
factions depends exclusively on external factors and forces that are inimical
to Egypt and friendly to the criminal, dictatorial and racist Amhara regime of
Abyssinia/Fake Ethiopia), and with the Renaissance dam (GERD) filled, Egypt
faces a havoc in the only part of the country's national borders that was truly
safe: that shared with Israel and Gaza. What is even worse is that there is an
enormous distance between the governmental policy of the newly re-elected
President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and the popular feelings against Israel. Updates

https://english.ahram.org.eg/News/514418.aspx
Maintaining peaceful relations with
Israel is necessary for the Egyptian president in order to come up with
eventual solutions for the urgent needs of the evicted Gazan populations, to
appear as a mediator should a circumstance arise, and to ensure that the Gazans
will not be pushed by the Israeli soldiers up to Egyptian borders. All the same,
this position is extremely delicate because Egypt cannot possibly accept to
accommodate the populations of Gaza that the Israeli government subtly tries to
force out once for all; indeed, the quasi-totality of the Egyptian population
would not possibly accept such a development, which would automatically turn
out to be tenure-terminator for any leader of the country. On the other side,
any further deterioration of the poor conditions of life to which two millions
of destitute Gazans have been exposed may deeply anger the average Egyptians up
to the point of launching protests, which would further weaken the lukewarm
support that the Egyptian president has.
As it was clearly understood from
the first weeks, Israel's military intervention in Gaza and the ensuing
destructions and systematic killings of civil populations must be assessed as a
long-term military operation that may last many months if not years. If at any
moment, Gazan populations are pushed toward the Egyptian border, the war may
become inevitable. Even worse, if thousands of uncontainable Gazans pour into
the Sinai Peninsula, the Egyptian government will be viewed by its citizens as
truly impotent. Then, the newly elected president may be challenged by the
protests (even more so because the economic outlook is rather gloomy) or removed
by a military coup. For more than a decade, it has been clear that serious
forces within the Western world (all those who have promoted Turkey's
Islamization over the past two decades) have a deep-seated hatred of Egypt. If
France and a part of the US establishment supported the present Egyptian establishment,
England and other states created and promoted a steadily anti-Egyptian
sentiment.
But it is not only a matter of a
turmoil limited in the Sinai Peninsula's northernmost extremities. With the
military activities launched by the Houthi government of Yemen against Israel,
the Gazan conflict took another dimension that is seriously dangerous for the
national security and safety of Egypt. As the Red Sea is Egypt's eastern flank,
it was always viewed as the safest region of the country; any condition of
instability created in those governorates (Red Sea, Suez, and South Sinai) will
severely endanger Cairo in many aspects. If maritime companies cancel the Red
Sea – Suez Canal passageway, the Egyptian economy will take a disastrous hit. Map:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subdivisions_of_Egypt#Governorates
Under current circumstances, Egypt
definitely needs a major ally beyond the well-conceived and auspiciously
undertaken adhesion of Cairo to the BRICS+. The 2023 decision to enlarge the intergovernmental
organization (from 5 to 10 member states) with the participation of Egypt,
Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and UAE is highly important, particularly for
Egypt's economy. About:

However, the aforementioned wise
decision of the Egyptian government has to be completed and consolidated with
the selection of a main strategic partner and ally at the military and
technological level. With Russia being focused on Ukraine, the Balkans, the
Caucasus region, and other parts of Europe, Africa and Asia, China appears to
be Egypt's long-term close partner and ally of choice.
II. The Rise of
China as a World Super-power
As a major imperial state, China has
a historical tradition and a cultural heritage that very few other nations can
claim today. China survived longer than other ancient empires like Egypt,
Assyria, Babylonia, (pre-Islamic) Iran and Rome.
Instead of being an empire
identified with one religion, like the Christian Eastern Roman Empire and the
Islamic Abbasid Caliphate, China managed to compose a unified state dogma where
Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism coexisted in peace and, at the same time, to
plainly incorporate religions that came from the West, namely Mesopotamia:
Manichaeism (either in its Sogdian form or in its Uyghur doctrine, fully
blended with Buddhism), Nestorian Christianity, and Islam.
As a fully continental empire, China
was one of the world's five most civilized realms and foremost empires in the
middle of the 16th century, along with the Mughal Empire (Hindustan), the
Safavid Empire of Iran, the Ottoman Empire, and the then nascent
Muscovite-Russian Empire.
The five continental empires
represented humanity and civilization, whereas the five maritime colonial
empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Holland and England) diffused barbarism,
monstrosity and hatred, killing scores of indigenous populations, ruining
great, highly civilized empires (Aztecs, Incas), spreading terror, inhumanity,
diseases and falsehood, while also imposing tyrannically (and after deliberate
genocides) the fake religion of the Western European heretical Christians
(Catholics & Protestants).
In the span of 350 years
(1570-1920), due to their sheer complex of inferiority, vicious plots,
incessant cheating, wicked rancor, malignant lies, and systematized fallacy,
the five maritime colonial empires (Spain, Portugal, France, Holland and
England), managed to
- fully invade and colonize one of
the five continental empires, namely the Mughal Empire (which was far richer
than Louis XIV's France);
- totally dismember another continental
empire, namely the Ottoman Empire, on the territory of which absurdly stand
nowadays no less than 30 states;
- significantly reduce, temporarily
occupy, and interfere in the local governance of another continental empire,
namely the Qajar Empire of Iran (which succeeded the Safavid and the Afshar
dynasties, but was subsequently replaced -following English intervention- with
an ignorant and idiotic soldier who was later labeled 'Pahlavi' by his colonial
master-'adviser');
- systematically undertake two Opium
Wars (1839-1842 and 1856-1860) -in order to heinously corrupt the Chinese
people- and then invade, occupy and dismantle the Qing Empire of China, first by
attempting to divide the country into zones of foreign occupation and later by
pitching the Japanese against the Chinese; and
- methodically turn Russia
repeatedly against its natural allies, namely the above mentioned four empires
and the equally continental empires of Austria-Hungary and Germany.
We have to consider the years 1945
and 1991 as the peaks of the maritime empires' prevalence, because the United
States substituted for the earlier Western colonial empires. As a matter of
fact, in 1945, the very costly victory of a continental state (USSR) over
another continental state (Nazi Germany) and the slow recovery of China, which
was still plunged in Civil War, allowed the US to appear as the sole world
superpower. Later, although the Soviet Union managed to soon become the second
superpower, its dissolution in 1991, at a moment the People's Republic of China
had not yet risen to prominence, gave again the impression that the US was the
world's only superpower.
Now, 33 years after 1991, everything
looks impressively different, because of the spectacular economic, military,
technological and geostrategic ascent of China; all the same, the
overwhelmingly transformed international environment is also due to Russia's
astounding comeback in terms of military modernization, administrative
rehabilitation, socioeconomic reorganization, scientific breakthrough, technological
advance and worldwide impact. Furthermore, the dramatic change has to also be
attributed to India's striking rise to the level of major economic, military,
scientific and technological power, and to the remarkable progress that several
middle level powers (Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, Pakistan, Iran, Nigeria, South
Africa, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Egypt, etc.) have made in the meantime, thus
becoming notable regional powers and centers of gravitation that the Western
colonial countries cannot anymore fully impact, influence or intimidate.
III. The
Irrevocable Prerequisites of China's Worldwide Predominance
All this may really augur very well
for China, but unfortunately, it is not enough. And the real issue for China is
not to outperform its own performance in terms of military and technological breakthrough
or economic-commercial penetration. What matters -in the transformation of a
traditional continental empire to a worldwide superpower- is the elimination of
the existing drawbacks and obstacles. China may nowadays look far stronger and
more important than France, a traditional maritime colonial empire, but things
are not that simple when we examine both countries' impact and influence on
Africa.
Chairwoman of Russia's Federation Council Valentina Matviyenko speaking with the President of Algeria Abdelmajid Tebboune (March 2023) said that "France must repent for colonial crimes".
France controlled major lands of
civilization for hundreds of years and imposed its own scientific method,
academic system, moral-intellectual values, educational context, and socio-cultural
environment. Fully colonizing the Algerian society, Paris
- imposed the study of 18th c.
philosophers by Algerian schoolchildren;
- deleted Algeria's Islamic and
pre-Islamic historical and cultural heritage from Modern Algeria's education,
intellectual life, political discourse, academic research, cultural milieu, and
artistic explorations;
- prevented a proper nation building
process from being undertaken by Algerians;
- turned the average Algerian into
either an entirely subaltern French or a fully reactionary Muslim predestined
to doom in his vain effort to 'Islamize' his country and -even worse- not even
to imagine that there is no return to national originality without an
exhaustive de-Westernization;
- made of the average Algerian's
religion (Islam) a mere ideological caricature; and
- appended all the concepts and all
the notions that an Algerian may develop or devise to French (and therefore
Western) standards, measures and criteria, thus irrevocably preventing
generations upon generations of Algerians to ever achieve cultural ingenuity,
intellectual originality, and national authenticity.
That's why one can easily observe
that, even at the moment of the closest Soviet-Algerian or Russo-Algerian
(after 1991) relationship, the ideal place for an Algerian to be was always
Paris - and never Moscow!
What is even worse is that the
French did the same in each and every of their colonies, whereas the English
acted accordingly. And when the Americans arrived to take over, they followed
the same pattern, offering scores of scholarships to the youth of the earlier
colonized nations so that they get re-colonized after the American fashion (or
version). This is how Morocco, to offer an example, was methodically managed
and gradually turned against France. The Americans called it decolonization,
but in reality the shameless process was a full re-colonization; they did not
care about the local nations and the troubles caused to them by the European
colonization process that had lasted perhaps 100 or 200 years before the
American arrival. However, one has to take into consideration the fact that
this was possible for the Americans to achieve because America was already a
byproduct of the Western world.
12th c. manuscript of A'azzu Ma Yuṭlab by Ibn Tumart
But Russia is not part of the
Western world and the same is valid for China. So, to be on the safe side, when
a Russian or Chinese diplomat or statesman speaks, discusses or negotiates with
an Algerian statesman, politician, military officer administrator, businessman,
he must always bear in mind that in front of him does not stand a descendant of
Ibn Tumart or a proponent of the Almohad doctrine, but a wretched person
confused about his identity and choices, ignorant of his national past, and
fooled by the -systematically administered to him and his compatriots- colonial
Euro-centric fallacy. About:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Tumart
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A%CA%BFazzu_M%C4%81_Yu%E1%B9%ADlab
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almohad_doctrine
As the above example constitutes
only one case of troublesome encounter, Chinese must realize that, on the best
occasion, they will meet similar cases everywhere. This means that, by
imagining that Chinese financial aid, state loans, technology transfer,
military advice, political partnership, foreign investment, infrastructure
works, and sustainable development plans will suffice to make of an African
country a strong and permanent ally of China in the Black Continent, Chinese
diplomats, advisers and statesmen only fool themselves and lose their money.
And this is not only due to the existent -among African governments- overwhelming
corruption.
The Chinese must therefore realize
that first, last and above all, they need to set the foundations of their
presence in Africa- something that until now they have never done. This must be
massive and, luckily, China can certainly afford it. It would perhaps be even
better to undertake parallel efforts, namely through the Chinese embassies,
consulates and universities and, also, via BRICS-based partnerships.
First, China must study in-depth all
the African nations as per their own declarations of identity; if the Chinese
authorities are contented with the superficial study of the colonial
caricatures that the Modern African states are, it is better for Beijing to
forget the dreams of worldwide predominance once forever. The Oromos of
Abyssinia (Fake Ethiopia), the Bejas (Blemmyes) of Eastern Sudan, the Copts of
Egypt, the Berbers of the African Atlas, the Mehris and the Soqotris of Yemen,
the Luo, the Somalis, the Kikuyu, the Bantu Muslims of Kenya, and all the other
nations and the ethnic-linguistic-religious groups of Africa must be
meticulously studied in China.
The reason for this enormous
academic-political endeavor is simple: Western colonial countries have done so
for ca. 200 years. And without their enormous study, knowledge and
documentation, the Western colonial administrations would have never asserted
the firm control that they had and still have over Africa. It would perhaps be
quite useful for Chinese scholars to first investigate the extent and the depth
of Africanist or African Studies in Western Europe and North America. Russia
has developed this academic discipline but not up to the level Italy has. The
African colonial past of Rome (in Libya, Eritrea, Somalia and Abyssinia/Fake
Ethiopia) did indeed play a certain role in this regard. Actually, the European
colonialism was never an exclusively military affair; it was rather a combined
enterprise based on universities, libraries, museums, companies, armies, secret
services, and governments. It is essential for the Chinese to always keep this
in mind. About: https://academic.oup.com/afraf/article-abstract/69/275/163/57603?redirectedFrom=PDF&login=false
At the same time, Chinese scholars
must examine the indigenous scholarship-led attempt to establish Afrology or
Africology at the antipodes of the Western colonial discipline. Africans
involved in the development and implementation of concepts such as
Afrocentricity and African Renaissance must be taken seriously by the Chinese,
first as a topic of study and then as a potential partner in numerous hitherto
undefined pro-African and pro-Chinese, anti-Western projects. It is really a
joke for Chinese statesmen to think that, with only few hundreds of billions of
dollars and due to governmental cooperation in bilateral trade, infrastructure
projects, and political relations, Beijing will establish a deeply-rooted
presence in the Black Continent.
In this manner and without a deep
study of the entire continent (as I already said), China is going to lose most
of the money spent for this scope. Few corrupt partners (ministers, generals,
thugs-in chief, etc.) will pocket part of the Chinese money, but later some of
their colleagues or subordinates will probably report this development to their
French, English or American masters, and then China's fraudulent trustees may
get a bullet in their head or simply removed from power; their monies will be
confiscated, and the country will be lost for China – pretty much like Libya
was stripped from Beijing in 2011.
Second, China must deeply study
African History without taking into consideration the existent borders. The
down-to-Earth reality is simple: colonial borders are good only for the
colonial powers, but never for the colonized nations. So, China cannot accept
them – at least before duly studying how and why all these fake lines were
drawn by the French and the English in order to work only to their benefit. By this,
I don't mean that one should break all the existing African countries to
pieces. No! In some cases, one can produce one very sizeable, new African
country out of two or three states – but the decision must be well-founded and
based on the study of the local reality, and of the colonial perverse rule and
evildoing. I will now offer an example.
Egypt, Sudan and Libya could have
easily made one enormous state; combined the three countries have a total area
of ca. 4.7 million km2 (larger than India and smaller than Australia). This
means that, if united, they would make the 6th largest state in the world. However,
the following fact highlights the systematic English evildoing that took place
and the perverse, calamitous nature of colonialism: despite the fact that the
English colonized both lands, controlled the local societies, and built the
infrastructure that they needed, including a vast network of railways, the
colonial governors took good care never to connect Egypt and Sudan by train.
Although the railway network in both lands totaled, back in 1950s, thousands of
kilometers and the existing routes from Alexandria to Aswan and from Wadi Halfa
to Khartoum covered 1100 km and 900 km respectively, no railway was ever
constructed between Aswan with Wadi Halfa (ca. 320 km)!
This fact is critical for the
Chinese and for anyone else to know, because it unveils the secret targets of
the colonial powers, namely to rule Africa first locally and later remotely -
through use of idiotic indigenous stooges-traitors, who were first selected to
study in English or French universities and then there formed as to how to rule
their lands as per the plans of their colonial masters and not in a way to
reflect the true interests of their nations. That is why, after Sudan's
independence (1956), no Sudanese and no Egyptian statesman had ever the idea of
linking the two countries by two railways – one crossing the Valley of the Nile
(from Alexandria to Khartoum) and another running alongside the Red Sea Coast
(from Suez to Suakin).
So, to conclude about this example, I
would say that it is very good for the Chinese leaders to intend to launch many
infrastructure projects in Africa, but it would be far better for them to also
come to know which plans and designs were never proposed (let alone built) by
the colonial powers, although they could have been undertaken, and for which
reasons; this would reveal to the Chinese authorities who is going to certainly
plot against China's penetration in Africa, where, when and for which reason.
Third, China should deeply study
African Antiquity and Oriental Antiquity in order to uncover the fallacious
nature of the Western narrative, denounce it at worldwide level, and refute it
solemnly, thus liberating world nations from the pro-Western, racist dogma,
which generated tyrannies and genocides across the Earth. Chinese universities
must lead the world academia in critical disciplines like Egyptology,
Assyriology, Hittitology, Iranology, Turkology and many other crucial sectors
of Orientalism, which reveal the truth about the History of Mankind that the
Western academia wanted to conceal, distort and replace with the absurdity of
Greco-Roman civilization, Hellenism, and Eurocentrism.
While being energetically involved
in this majestic project, with the participation of dozens of thousands of
African and Asiatic students, China should deploy a great effort in interconnecting
universities in Africa and Asia. This will help irrevocably disconnect African
and Asiatic universities from the vicious centers of falsehood, namely the
Western European and North American universities, which plunged the world in
distortion, racism, anomaly, darkness and wars.
Fourth, China must prepare a young
generation of China-educated, Chinese-speaking African leaders, who will spend
4-7 years in China, before returning home to work in the field of their
specialization and thus to demolish the remaining chains of colonialism,
misconceptions, misperceptions, biases, and white man's schemes and deceptions.
These young Africans will form their countries' new middle classes and they
will be instrumental in irreversibly cutting the relations of their nations
with the criminal colonial states of England, France, US, Holland, Canada,
Belgium, New Zealand, and Australia. English and French must be irrevocably
deleted from Africa's collective memory.
This enormous project will also entail
the establishment of annexes of dozens of Chinese universities throughout
Africa; in every single African state, several Chinese universities, numerous
high schools, and various institutes will have to open and operate. The
penetration of Chinese as the first foreign language must therefore be
considered as key to China's presence in Africa. For this reason, it has to be
fully supported at all levels, notably the Internet, blogging, social media,
etc. Chinese press establishments must open Asia in general and China in particular
to all Africans, while incessantly slandering the Western world in every
dimension.
Fifth, China must develop an
enormous program of cultural exchanges, involving visits of African artists to
China and vice versa, African schoolchildren holidays in China and vice versa,
traveling bilateral exhibitions (a China-Tanzania exhibition in Egypt or an
Algeria-China exhibition in Kenya, and so on), 'Africa and the Silk-, Spice-
and Perfume-routes' Annual Seminar, and a vast program of sister city or a twin
town relationship.
Sixth, China must build an unmatched
military presence in Africa. It is better to first establish bilateral military
relations with several countries of the Black Continent and then launch the
next stage of expansion of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In order to
better involve its allies, Beijing could introduce the concept of trilateral
military alliance and presence; to offer an example in this regard, within the
context of an Egyptian-Chinese military alliance, China could involve India and
thus set up a Chinese-Indian-Egyptian brigade after the example of the Franco-German
Brigade. On other occasions, a Chinese-Russian-Algerian brigade would reduce
the chance of war in the African Atlas that the secret services of England and
America work hard to instigate, and a Chinese-Russian-Niger and/or a
Chinese-Russian-Mali brigade would eliminate the threat of Islamic fundamentalism
throughout Sahara, therefore fully canceling the evil Anglo-Saxon plans.
China's military presence in Africa
can function as vector of peace throughout the Black Continent; it must start
with a strong bilateral military agreement with Egypt. What the scope of a
Chinese-Egyptian military alliance can be and how fruitful it will turn out to
be I will present in the next article of the series, which will be the last.
