3.1  The meeting at the Department of Commerce and mention of World War 4.

There was a departure from innovative scientific ideas.  It started when Tseung was invited to attend a USA Department of Commerce seminar in 1986.  The opening statement was – "We are in World 4 now and the USA is losing.  We need your help".  The participants were all shocked.  They all stared at each other.  Tseung wondered whether he had fallen asleep in his history lessons at school.  World War 3 has not been fought yet.  How can there be World War 4?

The presenter continued.  "World War 3 was the cold war.  The winner was the USA.  The USSR collapsed and broke up.  Russia is no longer a leading World Power.  World War 4 is the Economic War.  The battlefields were not the trenches but the boardrooms.  The USA is losing because the developing countries can produce quality products at a fraction of the cost that they can be made in the USA.  Japanese cars, televisions and electrical appliances dominate the World Markets.  Garments and toys from Hong Kong are everywhere.  Many Countries have protective policies".

The participants were stimulated.  Many proposals were tabled.  The three that sank into the mind of Tseung were:
1.  USA would give up some traditional industries such as garments.  However, before giving up, it would invest and spread the technology to many developing countries.  Let these countries compete for orders.  These Countries will cut their own throats in lowering the prices.  USA would be seen as the good guy providing knowledge and orders.

2.  Heavily protect the high-profit intellectual property products.  The example quoted was software.  While the cost of packaging a CD and some manuals is only a few US dollars, but that same product can be sold for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

3. Promote the globalization concept.  Persuade the Countries to drop their protective policies especially in the financial sector.  Tell them that the USA will open up its markets.  You should do the same.  Do not mention the fact that in the financial world, the big fish can easily swallow the small fish.

This was at least ten years before the Asian Financial Crisis.  The three above strategies, while seemingly simple, had important consequences.

Now that China have won the Forex battle, what next?


Will China team up with Russia to compete with USA to help the poorer nations?

Currently China massively invests in the Africa already- but I seriously doubt, it's because it wants to help the poor nations there. It's just another form of neocolonialism, because China needs the strategical raw sources for its further development. And how the Russia is helping the Georgia, Abkhazia, Chechnya or Ukraine we can already see - it's less or more opened annexation under intention to restore the power of former Soviet Union. The cooperation of Russia with China is indeed possible, because the Russia has also the raw sources, which just China needs - but such a politics would be very short-seeing and dangerous for Russia, because its economy could be swallowed with China easily. The Russia may remember soon, how that they asked USA to nuke China - and how USA refused to do it.

It is not a matter of good heart helping poorer Nations. It is the philosophy that if a Nation wants to become rich and remain rich, it should help other Nations become rich. This is very different from the Colonial West. Their philosophy is – we become rich by conquest and taking over other's land and resources. We have to remain militarily superior and keep other Nations ignorant and poor so that they cannot rob us back.

But the real  power of the West came from scientific knowledge. Such knowledge can be learned. USA and allies thought that they also had an invincible economic weapon – big fish eat small fish. They could attack the currency of any Nation and vaporize their hard work and achievements. They succeeded in disintegrating USSR. They succeeded in evaporating the Asian Miracle in 1997. They managed to drain 1 trillion USD from China's Foreign Currency Reserve.

This powerful weapon can now be rendered useless. China can use its own Forex Exchange to trade and establish the Currency Exchange Rate. The Market Force is no longer the big fish (or crocodiles or sharks). For the RMB, it is the almighty dragon.

The West had over capacity long ago. They chose to cut back rather than helping other Nations rich. The West could have helped African Nations to build infrastructures long ago – they had the dam, road building, power-grid building technology. They prefer to watch the African Nations remain ignorant and gave dead-aid.

Nuclear weapon technology is no longer a secret. North Korea demonstrated it clearly. One school of thought from USA is to wipe them out now. Invading with ground troops is already too late. The other school of thought is to get the North Korean Citizens rich. They do not need to use the nuclear weapons to feel secure and prosperous. The correct Globalization approach – making all Human Beings rich – will bear fruit.

IMO you're idealizing China too much. Every sufficiently powerful country will start to behave like the geopolitical power in similar way, like every sufficiently large company will use monopolist practices soon or later. It's visible on China's attitude over Senkaku islands for example: why it couldn't embrace them, if it can and some oil is there? So it grasps the opportunity.
