There are many comments on my last piece on the Iran Israel war – Iran’s predicament is largely a result of its follies.

As planned, I have been putting together the next installment detailing China’s likely position and the rationale. Hopefully I’ll publish the essay in the next 24 hours.

Meanwhile, I’d like to restack another piece whose perspective on the matter I share, written by Arnaud Bertrand whose Substack essays are usually very insightful.

He also referenced the comments (including a video clip) from Oriana Skylar Mastro, who was a Pentagon’s strategic planner on China and now a professor at Stanford. I myself have followed Mastro’s books and lectures for a few years and respect her views, despite the fact she is a China hawk.

Unlike the run of mill China hawks found in US political and military establishment, Mastro has a good understanding of Chinese military strategies and capabilities and can offer insights far superior to the think-tank platitude you usually hear from Washington.

My own piece will address the China’s position from a few different angles but I certainly subscribe to Bertrand’s views here.

  1. Well, at least the author you cited points out people’s comments, although he answers them in the voice of other authors or experts. You’re onto something, quoting an author, who cites another author… and you’ve already sung what’s on your mind to answer your questions. Huan Bin, do you know what people think about China? For example, people in the global south where China intervenes (okay, not militarily) economically?

  2. The CCP wants to dominate the globe. They’ve expressly stated this. Read the China Dream in their own words.

    The CCP is insidious and vicious. It needs to be completely wiped out. Destroyed. It is a mafia organization operating on a national scale.

    The chinese, as a whole (obvious, but admitted to right here on unz by a chinaman), are pathologically pragmatic. The end justifies the means. Alliances made between other countries exist only to serve china. “Alliances”, if they can be called that. They can be made and then broken in an advantageous instant. Chinese marriages amongst themselves are completely transactional, reflecting this overall mentality.

    The CCP is always expanding under the guise of their dagger laden ruinous “Friendship and Trade”, and the CCP BRI involves Iran. The BRI is a central method to spreading the CCP infection across the world. This is china’s only interest in Iran, and the oil it supplies china to help fuel their failing economy.

    It’s obvious that China, or any country, would rather not engage in a military conflict. Conflicts are difficult and waste resources and lives. We all understand that, so wanting to avoid conflict, in itself, is not exactly a sign of genius.
    Allowing a key player in BRICS’ plans to be attacked is the other side of the problem. This would damage trust in China as an ally and negatively impact the BRICS project.
    So thus far, I find this analysis superficial and uninteresting.

    That’s a good link and video.

    That Stanford professor and ex-pentagon China planner is saying that a US/Israel vs. Iran war will only serve to accelerate the decline of the US vs. China. So it’s a terrible idea from the US point of view.

    Also indirectly from Israel’s POV.

    They may destroy Iran – but if in the process the US is destroyed – then they both go down the tubes.

  5. @USA invades Israel

    Anti-China propaganda. Troll.

    Now is the time for China to re-take Taiwan. Great distraction from the Jewish state’s war on Iran when Iran has always been the safest place for Jews in the whole world and the Jewish state has illegal nuclear weapons.

    Oriana the swamp creature.

    iran’s predicament is largely a result of zionist jewish supremacism. there i fixed it for you. anyone tiptoeing around the true problem of the illegal occupation of palestine and the attempted genocide of the palestinians, is carrying israel’s water for them sorry hua, modi is already playing the part of gunga din for them.

    iran is dealing with the problem the only way it can be dealt with and bless them for that. israel is incapable of making a peaceful solution and must be forced into it, by destroying their economy and they are doing a damn fine job of it. this is all part of soleimani’s plan. let’s see if trump doesn’t end up turning taco 🌮, after seeing iran’s more advanced missiles that are pummeling israel. i think iran has more surprises in store and we are being subjected to an informational lockdown, as to the extent of the damage they are inflicting on israel, that’s why israel has imposed a lockdown on people leaving, they don’t want the real story getting out.

  8. Chinese Hua Bin recommending Jew Dirtrand…
    “Arnaud Bertrand” is a stinking Jewish sucker SJS who is allowed and installed by his world Mafia species to collect all luxury brands with fake monies, which he turns especially in China into real goods.
    To recommend a violent criminal like Bertrand goes d’accord with Jewish dialectic and fits nicely into The Scum fleecing the 5 continents and the Chinese obviously too.
    Regarding Jews’ wars against Amalek:
    The Chinese Defense Minister, Major General Zhang Zhaozhang, told the Chinese television station NTDTV on November 23, 2011: “China will not hesitate to protect Iran, even at the cost of World War III.”

    China has and is supporting Persia’s defence, even while Persia is occupied by Iran.
    Urgent supplies China flies into Iran on a daily basis, according to Russian news.

    Israel vs Iran – fiction v facts

    Persia is (like China) a first world country.
    „Iran“ is 75 times bigger than Israhell (occupied Palestine).
    Iran has 90 million humans, Israhell has 9 million psychos.
    Iran runs pipelines with the Jewish pigs – Big Oil – the Jewish oil mafia incl. mullah oilygarchs;
    Jews sit in the Teheran parliament…
    Iranian Jews are allowed to assist Israhell in terrorising and targeting leading Persians.
    And last but foremost: Islam is the Yiddos’;
    Islam and the child fucker Mohamed are a creation of the Saujuden.
    Speaking of Saujuden:

    Oh vey, Jahvey, David v Golliath ofcourse… little innocent weak Israel defending against mean evil bruts.

    Besides it is conceivable that Iran could destroy Israel in a day.

    Could…, but yet another script seems to be played out;
    Explanatory models are being created to change the world stage and advance the end times meaning total enslavement of the inhabitants on the 5 continents.

    But there are far more other continents.
    On this 5 Jewed prison continents there are no nukes.
    They do not have real nuclear weapons.
    They do have “the mother of all bombs” and “the father of all bombs”.

    All they seem to be doing is yet another switch; another twist:
    This time “The West” is downgraded and the East – “Global South” – upgraded.
    The West is being put into poverty and other parts are uplifted.
    In the process of this switch all lot of money, blood and semen – the holy trinity of Judaism – flows.
    Yiddos are already powdering Chinese asses; see Dirtrand (and Hua Bin liking it).

    Wars are Jews harvesting!

    …and Chinese supply – what a supplies?!

    The most sensible, intelligent thing for China to do is to stand aback and just watch with interest.

    No good can and will come from any intervention. In the final analysis, Iran simply isn’t worth anything to China for China to put itself in any sort of jeopardy.

    No, this one is firmly for the Islamic world vs. the west. Funny how none of the Muslim states give a damn about Iran, actually most of them are secretly longing and wishing for it to be destroyed.

    It’s just a fool’s errand – there’s no point whatsoever in wasting economic or political capital.

  10. If China wants the US to get tied up, distracted and bled in the middle east, this does not enjoin them to not get involved. It enjoins them to get indirectly involved, supplying weapons like they did in the Vietnam war.

    The argument here isn’t about direct involvement but indirect involvement. Obviously the more resources the Iranians have the more they’ll be able to tie up the US. But does China even have the boldness to do that? They didn’t with Russia, extending only diplomatic support.

    • Agree: Deep Thought
  11. anonymous[110] • Disclaimer says:

    China can help Iran though indirect intervention. China can tell the Philippines today to leave its territory. The Philippines will refuse and there will be a standoff. All US ships in the region and other resources will be frozen in place and not used against Iran. If Iran survives this war, it can be expected to do the same to help China if China finds itself in a conflict with the US.

  12. @Kurt Knispel

    Who said Arnaud Bertrand luxury guy is Jewish? Also why would luxury guy talk about geopolitics? Is it even the same guy as the substack author?

  13. Eduardo says:
    @USA invades Israel

    Where it says CCP change to AngloZionists and it is correct

  14. It seems China´s position is exactly what China´s position should be:

    Video Link

    They cannot allow Iran to go down; the Great Satan has evacuated the
    Persian (so named for a reason) Gulf, and the Caspian Fleet can cover Teheran;
    it´s a golden bridge for the Orange One but he won´t take it.
