The AIIB - China Ensures that America has lost its pathological bid for World Domination

We should all know of the pushy overbearing alpha-male, narcissistic types and their insensitive brutish behaviour; I remember a John Wayne movie depicting the archetypal American male confronting the skill of a Chinese martial arts expert demonstrating his swordsmanship. After various gyrations and intimidating manoeuvres by the martial artist, John Wayne (America) reached for his .45 and shot the martial artist dead – that being a demonstration of American supposed superiority, cultural consciousness and technological dependence.

To say that confronting highly disciplined human skill with brutal tactics is gross would be understatement to the Asian mentality, Asians loath direct confrontationism and consider it primitive and coarse, their methods are always ‘oblique.’

I have spent years in various Asian countries and can verify that the oblique approach is almost universal in that part of the world and once appreciated for what it is, it is clearly the preferable mode of polite, civilised behaviour – compare the American John Wayne mentality and it becomes apparent that that approach fails to win friends and support in the medium to long term as people are inherently civilised social beings and have an instinctive distaste for selfishness and brutality, which in evolutionary terms oppose civilised sensibilities.

So after years of coarse rebuffs and disregard by America, China has done the predictable and has sent a very clear message, Asian style, to the U.S. – China, as a world superpower, will be recognised and participate in world affairs according to its growing stature and America can lump it according to its clearly diminishing stature as a brutish, coarse and uncivilised nation.

What is puzzling however is the amount of money America spends (millions) on expert analysts who in the main are acutely aware of Asia and its cultural consciousness – reports are given to American ruling elites which they promptly ignore in favour of the John Wayne primitive approach, so why bother wasting money and the talents of intelligent, socially aware analysts?

The above notwithstanding, China has made its play with co-operative doors wide open for other leading nations to join a civilised multi-lateral group with the intention of pursuing enterprise and development in a constructive manner, compare that to the ‘perpetual war’ American strategy of destruction and chaos and it becomes obvious that China and its partners will inevitably prevail against the armed brute, ‘John Wayne.’

I refer to the ‘Asian Infrastructure and Investment Bank’ to which leading economic nations and others have been given invitations to join – how thoroughly co-operative and civilised!

America, for its myopic linear part, has lobbied its ‘allies’ not to join, which action has already fractured America’s hold on international economic affairs which it established after WWII -- free enterprise nations and I emphasise “free,” are easily able to see the rising and declining powers in the world today, notwithstanding the lure of the multi-lateral approach which China offers and America opposes; though even America, despite its brutish, destructive behaviour, has until 31 March to join as do other nations, including Australia, before the closing deadline.

There is little doubt the AIIB will soon displace the antiquated structures of the US controlled World Bank and IMF, which will see the inevitable end of America as a global economic superpower that wants it all its own way; and China accomplished this major coup without a shot being fired, how thoroughly civilised and devastatingly effective!
