Below is a rough reconstruction of a Chinese podcast I listened to commenting on #Ukraine and #SolomonIslands

"For many countries, sovereignty is a luxury. There are many countries in the world that are very willing to have an extraterritorial power to take care of

their affairs, and for that they are willing to give away a lot of benefits and provide a lot of facilities, because in their view, if someone can provide them with a stable regional order, reliable economic opportunities, and be a protector to complain to in case of injustice,

then they are willing to pay back in exchange. The reason is simple: sovereignty is a luxury that most countries can't afford.
For such countries, outsourcing sovereignty in exchange for more realistic benefits (such as security guarantee and economic opportunities)

is the more realistic option, or rather, the only option for survival.
Chinese people's uncompromising pursuit for sovereignty, even taking it for granted as the basic right of a country, is an unattainable luxury in the eyes of the majority of countries in the world,

because there are not many countries like China that have the ability to uphold sovereignty. The biggest achievement of the CPC is that they achieved whole sovereignty for China. Today in China, the worst crime is selling out the interest of the nation to a foreign power,

but for most countries in the world, it is the worst crime not to "sell out", and for the leaders of small countries, selling sovereignty to the highest bidder in the best interest of the country [unlike Ukraine selling itself into total war and poverty] is the most

advisable way to be loyal to the country and responsible to the people [best example: Singapore].

Letting these countries pursue sovereignty and independence is equivalent to kicking a three- or four-year-old child out of the house and letting him stand on his own.

You are not doing it for his own good, you are killing him. The reality is that the majority of countries are propped up financially, economically, militarily, politically by another country and are thus dependent thereupon.

Why does the United States have so many allies?

Why does the United States have so many lap dogs? You can morally criticize these countries as "puppets", "satellite states", "vassal states", but this cannot solve any practical problems. No matter how bad or immoral the United States is, at least it provides an illusory order

and some real or imagined benefits. Public goods do not mean this set of public products is good, but the sad reality is that for a long time, countries have no choice at all. US/western bloc are the only game in town. Choose the US/West or face destruction.

However, due to lack of alternative and competition, the quality of the commodity the US provides is poor. Instead of providing peace and prosperity, the US is doing the opposite, plunging countries into war chaos and poverty. Solomon Islands turned to China for help precisely

because of the violent riots instigated by the US aiming at a regime change.

China and Russia are criticizing this pitiful state of world order. Hollow criticism is useless. How about China propose another much better set of public goods to enable countries to choose from?

There are many, many countries that very much want to accept the public goods provided by China. China has a powerful military and economy, well positioned to bring stability and prosperity, albeit moderate prosperity to countries.

If countries can only rely on the US, is

it any surprising if they choose to side with the US against China?
In order to bring about a better world, China must shoulder its responsibility to provide better alternatives. Against the riots, regime changes, color revolutions engineered by the US in the name of democracy,

China can provide the alternative of stability and economic development, and China usually delivers the goods.

When riots happened in Solomon Islands targeting Chinese businesses, Solomon openly and directly appealed to China for help. Solomon is confident China is willing

and able to protect them.

For years, China's foreign policy is neutrality and non interference. This is about to change. The more China abstains from interfering, the more countries will turn to the US, the more countries will become hostile to China and the more ethnic

Chinese will be targeted. Non interference only breeds a vicious circle.

China shouldn't be ashamed to benefit from the intervention, there's nothing to be ashamed of, as long as you provide public goods, you deserve it.

There's a funny video about the US foreign policy.

The general content is as follows: Several Africans surrounded a US ambassador, one of the Africans said "Mr. Ambassador, terrorist attacks are happening here every day" The US ambassador replied "Oh, it's unfortunate"

Another said "warlords and bandits are pillaging villages every day"
The US ambassador replied "It's sad, but the US military is so spread out that we can't interfere anymore"
The two Africans looked at each other and then said: "We need your help to protect our abundant

but fragile newly discovered oil resources." As soon as the words came out, the U.S. ambassador jumped up "You said oil? Wait a minute" and pulled out a walkie-talkie and spoke into it "Operation Golden Eagle begins"

US jet fighters and helicopters immediately arrived

and filled up the sky. The American ambassador shook hands with the two Africans "Welcome to democracy!"

The original intent of the video was to satirize the fact that the U.S. has always fought wars over oil, like the French chef's joke, "You put so much

oil in this dish that it will attract an U.S. military attack".

However, in reality, if the U.S. military can really eliminate warlords and bandits, eradicate terrorism, restore regional order, then the U.S. is perfectly entitled to get some oil as a reward.

The country is paying for a precious service only a military power can provide.

However, the reality is that the United States is currently the world's largest exporter of terrorism. Various terrorist organizations have become US military mercenaries doing the dirty job,

killing and overthrowing governments on behalf of the US. The US are not delivering the goods. The satirical video is actually a glorification of the US who are allegedly maintaining order and justice for the sake of oil. In reality, US loots the oil without ensuring stability.

The gradual disintegration of the world order in recent decades is due to the fact that the US, the world police is not doing the job of upholding peace stability and justice. US has become the criminal it has vowed to pursue and eliminate.

US is indulging in mass killing and mass looting [financial]. When the sheriff in town is the biggest criminal masterminding all the criminals, the town is in grave trouble.

US has become the world's biggest problem, the biggest terrorist organization,

the source of all major wars and injustices in the world. US has wrecked numerous countries: Ukraine, Haiti, Afghanistan, Libia, Yemen, Iraq....

The forces of the universe see to it that China has become a competing super power.

I hope that China will take the initiative to assume its historical responsibility and grasp the true meaning of the title "responsible power".
