“Integrate, But Hedge”: China In the Age of Global Governance, Part I
“Hide your brightness; bide your time,” cautioned Deng Xiaoping, the chief architect of modern China who was the country’s supreme ruler from 1978 until the 1990s.

The modern, affluent new China. Incomprehensible to many Western minds.Why does the CPC want to remove the expression that the President and Vice-President of the People’s Republic of China “shall serve no more than two consecutive terms” from the country’s Constitution?
Why is China lifting the two-term limit for Xi? The answer can be found by reading the amendment itself (and remembering a little history):
During Donald Trump’s successful campaign to become President of the United States, both Trump and his then adviser Steve Bannon spoke a great deal about the following:
–Increasing exports
–Increasing the sales of US made products domestically
–Increasing employment
–Increasing the wages of the domestic workforce
–Seeing trade in economic rather than ideological terms
Chinese President Xi has addressed a large meeting of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in preparation for the forthcoming 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
When western commentators speak of an economic ‘third way’ they often mean the globalist neo-liberalism of Bill Clinton and Tony Blair, a system which imposes the worst of socialism with its regulations and heavy tax burdens on small business and individuals, while simultaneously unleashing the worst of capitalism on the world: globalist corporate giants who control entire countries more than democratically elected governments and they do so with little taxation, regulation and accountability to anyone.

Last night, in Beijing, I sat in a historic Szechuan restaurant with a friend who happens to be a Chinese diplomat. We exchanged some stories, ordered food, and then, suddenly, my throat felt dry and my eyes got misty.
I bowed and thanked her for the heartfelt offer China made to rescue Russia.
Just before leaving my hotel, I read the news on the RT:
“China’s foreign minister has pledged support to Russia as it faces an economic downturn due to sanctions and a drop in oil prices. Boosting trade in Yuan is a solution proposed by Beijing’s commerce minister.
