    Notably, European and US officials directly threatened China multiple times at the Shangri-La Dialogue, which is ostensibly supposed to be a diplomatic conference promoting regional peace.

    - Here’s Macron saying that the situation in Ukraine and Taiwan are identical, implying that the Western world needs to mount a counter-offensive against China before it “invades” the apparently independent country of Taiwan:

    - Here’s the aforementioned threat to keep expanding NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty organization) in to Asia (as they has been doing indirectly in offices in Japan over the past several years):

    - Related to that is Macron OUTRIGHT LYING, essentially denouncing China for commanding North Korean troops to fight in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict:

    - Here’s white Christian Nationalist, tattooed “Crusader”, US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth saying that a “CCP” invasion of Taiwan is imminent and that the US must ramp up and “protect” Taiwan by 2027

    https://nitter.poast.org/SD73660/status/1928647182145442047

    -Here’s the ultra-hardline neoliberal, China-hawk, VP of the European Commission Kaja Kallas, saying that the EU will now attack and “impose costs” on China for “attacking the Czech Republic”, which is blatant empty pretext for escalation

    https://nitter.poast.org/CarlZha/status/1928282918662853024

    - Kallas’ comments mirrors comments made by John Healey, the UK Defence Minister, declaring that the “UK will increase cyberattacks against China”

    UK and Australian media are now suddenly accusing China of “extraordinary” military build-up

    https://nitter.poast.org/D162Michele/status/1929241175199711528

    The US has also ramped up the vacuous “dual-use” rhetoric on China over the past few weeks, which is a complete farce.

    --

    Now, why is Macron saying the exact opposite of what he said back in June 2023, when he said moving NATO to Asia would be a “big mistake”, countering Stoltenberg?

    Notably, the Shangri-La Dialogue itself is organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), the well-known British think tank.
