It’s No Longer "Red China"!

According to more and more analyses of China by the left and the rightwing media, the one truth that comes out very clearly is that China and it’s present government are now so far from being called "Red China" that it is hard to distinguish their actions and to call them socialist or Marxist-Leninist.

The actions of the Chinese government, as it concerns oil and energy is very hard to see it as coming from a "socialist" country. It is a fact that is recognized by every energy expert, that there is a power struggle for oil resources between China, India, the two countries whose cheap labour is used for manufacturing products for the multinational corporations of US imperialism.

China and India’s combined demand now for oil will surpass today’s total world oil production by as early as 2020.

China is on a campaign (as was done by US imperialism before) to lock up all of the energy and mineral resources in Africa and Asia.

India on the other hand is very worried that China might secure all available remaining oil supplies that are not controlled by US imperialism.

According to the statistics published by New York Timers, India imports 70% of its oil. India’s import of world’s oil is 3.2%, China imports 7.6% while US imports 25% and Europe imports 26%. India will need to import oil at 2.4 million barrels daily in order to grow by 2030, while China will have to import 12 million barrels daily.

Since most of this oil originates from the Gulf or Indonesia, both China and India are rushing to deploy deep-water naval ships to protect their oil pipelines, just as US imperialism has done since before the Second World War.

China is building a powerful naval fleet, aircraft carriers and attack submarines, while Putin’s Russia has mothballed its only aircraft carrier. Having come late to this monopoly-grabbing game of grabbing as many key oil properties as possible, China and India are in a full scramble to make up for time lost.

We can see this being done by capitalist India of course, but, so-called "Red China", playing at colonialist and imperialist ambitions, is something that Chairman Mao, if he knew, would turn in his grave.

By the way, according to Forbes Magazine, there are more millionaires and billionaires in "Red China" now, than in all the world combined! I guess that China is following in Putin’s footsteps.

Now that Russia is playing second fiddle to US imperialism, in spite of some of its public rhetoric and statements to appease growing crisis and discontent of the Soviet people, the policy of China is not consistent with a Socialist country. And China, with its territorial ambitions, as seen by thousands of Chinese squatters in Siberia, is not a healthy omen for progressive mankind in its struggles against Imperialism.
