Couple things: the fake leaves is purely aesthetic, there’d be no need to fake it since China’s actual afforestation efforts outstrips the rest of the world. It’s not meant to fool anyone any more than Mount Rushmore is meant to fool people into thinking there are gigantic presidents roaming the US.
Oh and China’s 9 dash line is inherited from your beloved ROC. As in in 1947, before the end of the civil war, the Republic of China claimed the majority of the south China sea as Chinese and the PRC inherited ROC territories as the de facto victors of the civil war. And even then it’s smaller than Ming dynasty and Qing dynasty claims to the waters. The PRC is no more landgrabby than any former Chinese government. Do you know who China “grabbed” the Spratly islands from? France. Even if you see it as imperialism, it’s way more defensible than France having ownership of the south China sea or Britain having the Falklands.
And you really wanna look into who coined the string of pearls claim: Booz Allen Hamilton, the company contracted to spy on Americans, the one that employed Edward Snowden, the one whose contract mysteriously increased from $2 million to $70 million in 2007. Their goal is to fearmonger Americans to increase military intelligence spending. You’re falling hook, line and sinker for MIC propaganda. If India and China are such bitter rivals, ““border disputes”” wouldn’t be solved with sticks and India wouldn’t be in BRICS.
This is what we mean by cope: grasping at the least credible theories around because the YouTube algorithm gave you some China “experts” and you took their word as fact.
This is referencing a hypothesis coined by Booz Allen Hamilton, an American military intelligence contractor. It hypothesized that China will try and secure its borders in the Indian Ocean with civilian infrastructure. This was in 2004 when China-Pakistan relations were improving, and was fearmongering that India would have it’s maritime territories seized by China. Kind of moot now that India is in BRICS.
Booz Allen Hamilton also famously employed Edward Snowden at the time of the leaks. BAH were contractors for the NSA for the PRISM project. Also, in 2007, it was discovered their contract with the department of homeland security went from $2 million USD to $70 million USD, a 3500% increase, and BAH’s parent companies made considerable donations to John McCain’s presidential campaign (which I think is a conflict of interest when your subsidiary is a government contractor)
