The fear of refugees flooding the world was real. It became a reality through stealth. Today all of South East Asia's economies are dominated by the Chinese. The vast majority of them including those in Malaysia and Singapore arrived illegally. As a community they later managed through their organizational skills and abilities to convince their host governments that they were entitled to citizenship of their hosts nd secured these through sleight of hand some say.
Malaysia's Tunku Abdul Rahman without parliamentary informed consent handed out 2,000,000 citizenships to the mainly Chinese settlers in Malaya after independence. Many more would arrive later through different means not always legal and settle in places like Malaysia and Singapore. The same in all of the 10 ASEAN states, Latin America (Brazil in particular), the USA, Canada and Europe. They intimidated their hosts through support of communist armed struggles in most if not all of the10 ASEAN countries they settled in. It gave them leverage against xenophobia and nationalist sentiments running high in these states after colonial rule cam to an end.
The Chinese kept their heads down in their Western host countries knowing full well they were not as a people trusted or welcome there. Thus began the Chinese rise to economic and political power worldwide. Networking or the Guang Xi. They presented a security risk in all of the states they settled in. It was both perceived and real.
When Kissinger and Nixon visited China his purpose and objective was as distorted, narrow and lacking depth as Western ideas of international relations were in the 18th and 19th centuries. "Whats in it for me" and "do as I say or I shoot".
The mistakes made by the West in their miscalculations with China arises from Western ideas of international relations and their inability to go beyond Western perceptions of non European states like China. All of this is driven by an education and culture that is very inward looking and inflexible and delivered through the prism of a gun. Force.
Kissingers and the US's powers were grossly exaggerated and viewed primarily through their ability to coerece and intimidate those who failed or refused to acknowledge their capacity to dominate through sheer brute force. The Chinese knew otherwise courtesy of the Vietnam experience.
And as they always do, the Chinese do not invade. Not in recent times at least. They wait and bide their time till the other sides acts first. The Chinese are calculating, strategic in their thinking and patient. It has always paid off. The Anglocentric Indians right next door to them keep playing to the West whilst the Chinese continue to be Chinese and work tirelesley towards their goals.
Therer is no esoteric language when dealing with the Chinese. It is black and white though expressed very subtley by them in their foreign relations and negotiations with others not wanting to offend.
Henry Kissinger was a well regarded fool. Little mention is made of great thinkers and statesment they encountered in their travels like Pham Van Dong, Ho Chi Minh, the great Zhou En Lai and Mao himself.
Kissingers memoirs that deals with his meetings with Chairman Mao admits to having had his tail pulled seveal times during their secret trysts. Mao in true Chinese fashion wanted to drive home the point that he was in charge.
As the West crumbles, they still refuse to engage in some useful introsepction of themselves in the mistaken belief that they once conquered and ruled much of the world through sheer genius. Even for that the Chinese had an integral part to play in their expansion. Gun powder.
