After wowing the American business community in Seattle and outshining Barak Obama as his state guest in Washington, DC (WDC), Xi Jinping went to the United Nations in New York, to wrap up his US visit.
Xi gave his first head of state speech at the United Nations and chose the Sustainable Development Goal Summit, in which to do so. This speaks volumes. (See it here.) After Seattle and WDC, it was continued win-win engagement (one of Xi’s fave expressions) to show the world that China, as one of the two big Anti-West giants, along with Russia, is serious about conducting international cooperation much differently than Western empire ever has.
President Xi said China would act,
…by putting justice before interests and joining other countries in a concerted effort to realize the (UN’s) Post-2015 Agenda.
And he put China’s money where his mouth was. He announced that China will exempt the debt of outstanding intergovernmental interest-free loans, due by the end of 2015, which are owed by the least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing countries. In WDC, President Xi had already announced that China will invest $3 billion in developing countries, to reduce their emissions of carbon. He also said that China would step up investment in least developed countries to a minimum of $12 billion by 2030. China’s developmental action list continued with $2 billion in cash to pump into the World Health Organization (WHO).
President Xi also took on the West’s baseless propaganda that over the years, China has not played an active role in world development. He reminded his listeners that China has already pulled 449 million of its own citizens out of poverty, which equals 90-95% of the world total, over the last generation (and over 1,000,000,000 since liberation in 1949. https://www.greanvillepost.com/2015/06/16/radio-sinoland-mao-zedong-ow-or-wow-2015-5-1/ http://44days.net/?p=2386 In the last 60 years, China has provided 400 billion RMB in aid to over 166 countries and sent 600,000 aid workers abroad, 700 of whom died while on duty in the developing world. Try finding this behind the Great Western Firewall.
….
At the UN’s High-Level Roundtable on South-South Cooperation, Xi Jinping announced China’s new “Six One-Hundreds” plan to support developing countries. It includes 100 poverty alleviation programs, 100 agricultural cooperation programs, 100 trade-facilitative aiding programs, 100 ecological protection and fighting against climate change programs, the construction of 100 hospitals and clinics, and the construction of 100 schools and vocational training centers.
Furthermore, during the next five years, China will provide funding for 120,000 people and scholarships for 150,000 students from developing countries, to go to China for training and study. China has also budgeted to establish a South-South Cooperation and Development Academy. Talk about winning hearts and minds. It’s the anti-imperial version of Shock and Awe.
Needless to say, President Xi Jinping was the most applauded speaker at the summit. That tends to happen outside of the Western empire, when a socialist vision is promoted, rather than a capitalist one.
….
Just try to wrap your heads around all this. Can you imagine the imperial West forgiving 100% of numerous countries’ debts, in the scale of billions of dollars? Or even deigning a haircut on the principle? The United States routinely forgives Israel’s billions in military purchases. But besides Zionistan, this is a headline rarely seen behind the Great Western Firewall. Debt forgiveness is just another example of China leading constructively in world affairs, while Eurangloland (NATO, with Australia and New Zealand) is hell bent on committing destruction across Mother Earth. Instead of offering serious debt relief to the most disadvantaged, the West can only offer the Bretton Woods IMF-World Bank enslavement trap, along with its cruel and criminal dismantling of in-country state subsidies, public health and education programs, “market liberalization” (whatever the hell that is supposed to mean), WTO tariff terrorism, with the predictable selloff of precious state owned assets, at fire sale prices, to the West’s corrupt bankster barons.
Instead of Chinese hospitals and schools, the West exports government-overthrowing color revolutions, assassinations, death squads, drones, war and the resulting refugee crises, as we can attest across Africa, Asia, the Americas, the Middle East – and now Europe. Instead of hundreds of thousands of university scholarships, the West is happy to take the world’s wealthier citizens’ money, to pay sky high foreigners’ college tuition for their privileged children. While studying overseas, the West’s CIA complex will happily brainwash and recruit these students to be subversive, anti-local government agents and future leaders of all those ersatz color revolutions, once they get back home.
Thus, President Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin, along with the aforementioned anti-fascist Hall of Fame, are the two most popular leaders among the world’s Moral Majority, that 85% of humanity who is largely dark skinned, poor and frequently Muslim. The Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania have their international heroes, the Anti-West Xi-Putin dynamic duo to cheer on. For the world’s oppressed, these two countries are offering a starkly different, hopeful vision than the one that has been violently forced upon the world, by racist, fascist, imperial Eurangloland, since 1492.
As President Xi cried out at the end of his September 3rd, Anti-Fascist Victory Day Parade commemorative speech, in Beijing, http://thesaker.is/the-moscow-beijing-express-from-may-9th-in-moscow-to-september-3rd-in-beijing-the-anti-west-order-comes-full-circle/ http://44days.net/?p=3004
Let us bear in mind the great truth of history: Justice will prevail! Peace will prevail! The people will prevail!
Right on, Brother XJP! Right on, Brother!
I tell you what: Martin Luther King, Jr., could not have said it better…
Postscript: The Xi Jinping-China Rolling Thunder Tour continued during the United Nations General Assembly, where he pledged US$1 billion to a joint China-UN peace and development fund. China will also set up a permanent UN peacekeeping force of 8,000 troops. Another US$100 million in military assistance is pegged for the Organization of African Unity’s (ONU) peacekeeping missions during the next five years. This, while Eurangloland is habitually in arrears for its UN funding engagements, to the tune of billions of dollars, while its leaders will regurgitate their nonstop litany of colonial-imperial rostrums: privatization, market liberalization, IMF-World Bank slavery, WTO tariff terrorism, invasions, war, etc. http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/China-Will-Never-Persue-Expansion-President-Xi-Tells-UN-20150928-0014.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBwDWaDBRkA

Completely share the author’s viewpoint. President Xi is a genuine statesman, part political leader, part intellectual and even moralist. Obama, for all his intelligence, is nothing but an opportunist, and, I may add, a criminal prostitute. And it shows. It has finally blunted whatever real acumen he possessed. Stephen Lendman calls him a “con man” elsewhere on this site, and he’s spot on. America is now a first-rate superpower led by fourth-rate leaders, actually, worse than that, active criminals. You can only wonder what Jefferson, Madison and Geo. Washington would have thought of this clown (and his ilk) disgracing the… Read more »
Its what we would call 1930’s Gangsters. These guys have nufin on Bugsy Malone Lucky Luciano or Al Capone. They make these mobsters look like Roseveltian Democrats. LOOOOOOOL
What is it with the US it can no longer produce politicians of Xi’s (or Putin’s) stature?
Don’t answer that. Just a rhetorical question.

Thank you Jeff! What an incredibly comprehensive and authentic picture you presented in your words above. I loved that your name for the real people of the world — “the world’s Moral Majority” — the perfect description for us who applaud and stand by what is true, right and just for all.
