Counter-Currents

The old Cold War was, among many other things, a struggle between a pair of universal franchises, each of which rested on the assumption that its peculiar package of ideas, institutions, and idiosyncrasies bore no necessary relationship to ethnicity. Thus, a Bohunk from Milwaukee gave a hand-held missile to Ghazi from Ghazni, so that the latter might send it up the tailpipe of a MiG flown by a mujik who bore a striking resemblance to Cousin Stanislaus from the Old Neighborhood. The current cold war is different. While one side perseveres in the presumption that its principles, practices, and (increasingly peculiar) peculiarities pertain to the entirety of humanity, the other has come to define itself in terms of race.
In the years when China served (and, indeed, strove to lead) the global Communist revolution, the authorities in Sinkiang subjected many comrades of Turkic descent to painful periods of re-education. Now that Chinese Communism has shed its international scaffolding, such brainwashing is but the icing on the cake of a comprehensive program of enchinoisement. In the old days, success was measured by the ability of the survivors of such schooling to mumble “dialectical materialism” at the appropriate time and place. Today, the job is not finished until a half-Han baby has been wrought in the womb of a Uyghur woman.
The embrace of race by the people in power in Peking is bad news for those who would preserve the independence of places like Taiwan and Singapore. In the near future, such outposts of Chinese ethnicity and culture will be no more resistant to integration into the Mainland than the Federal Republic of Austria of 1938 could avoid the amalgamation of its land and people into the Greater German Reich. (Pace Christopher Plummer, Julie Andrews, and the rest of the cast of The Sound of Music, the Anschluß was insanely popular in the Land of Lederhosen. Indeed, the joining of the two polities proved so smooth that, rather than being disbanded, dispersed, or even diluted, the armed forces of the old Republic were simply grafted onto the Wehrmacht.)
At the same time, the presumption that all people of Chinese descent owe fealty to the Middle Kingdom offers considerable benefits to peoples of European heritage. For one thing, it weakens the tendency towards universalism that, over the course of the last century or so, has done so much to damage the amour propre of white nations. For another, it makes it easier for us to explain that the movement of momentarily malcontented Mongoloids to once-and-future Haole havens, whether in Britain or British Columbia, is nothing less than the planting of Chinese colonies. (When explaining this phenomenon, it may be helpful to compare emigrant enthusiasts for the short-lived special status of Hong Kong to the Englishmen who settled North America in the seventeenth century. Notwithstanding their deep dissatisfaction with the ways things were being done in the Mother Country, neither distance nor disaffection deprived the Puritans of the differences that distinguished them from folk who lacked the good sense to have been born to English parents.)
The revival of Sinocentric solipsism did not take place overnight. It took several decades for the minions of Mao Tse-dung to fully realize that the bonds born of blood, breeding, and birth would usually prove stronger than those forged in the feeble fires of fascination with the labor theory of value. Similarly, many years may pass before influential folk in the West come to comparable conclusions, years in which the likes of us should respond to every tale of Chinese triumph with “I wonder if this has anything to do with the way they define membership in their nation.”

The Rejuvenation of the Chinese Nation Is a Dream Shared by All Chinese: Speech to representatives attending the Seventh Conference of Friendship of Overseas Chinese Associations
For Chinese people both at home and abroad, a united Chinese nation is our shared root, the profound Chinese culture is our shared soul, and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is our shared dream. The shared root fosters eternal brotherhood, the shared soul links our hearts, and the shared dream holds us all together – we will go on to write a new chapter in the history of the Chinese nation.
We Chinese often say, “Your eyes brim with tears when you encounter a fellow townsman in a distant land.” It makes me feel at home to meet you today. On behalf of the CPC and the State Council, I would like to extend my congratulations to the convening of the Seventh Conference of Friendship of Overseas Chinese Associations, my warm welcome to overseas Chinese attending the conference, and my sincere greetings to overseas Chinese all over the world.
The tens of millions of overseas Chinese across the world are all members of the Chinese family. In the best of Chinese traditions, generations of overseas Chinese never forget their home country, their origins, or the blood of the Chinese nation flowing in their veins. They have given their enthusiastic support to China’s revolution, construction and reform. They have made a major contribution to the growth of the Chinese nation, to the peaceful reunification of the motherland, and to the friendly people-to-people cooperation between China and other countries. Their contribution will always be remembered.
The West’s postwar approach to China (like its similar approaches to Islam, the Middle East, the domestic ghetto, the border, etc) has been suicidally stupid, the consistent triumph of bogus, sentimentalist ideologies over civilizational, historical and sociobiological realism. Two centuries ago, Napoleon famously said, “China! There is a sleeping dragon. Let her sleep, for when she wakes, she will move worlds.” The dragon is certainly awake now, and armed with the West’s sometimes stolen, mostly just given away, knowledge and technologies.
The Chinese Communists are not as racially aware as the author believes.
There are 300,000 Africans in Guangdong province and many of them are having mixed-race children with the local Chinese.
Can you say “ticking time bomb”?
In an interview with Frodi, Ricardo Duchesne speculated that these mixed-race Sino-Afros are intentionally encouraged by the Chinese government as an intermediary. As China seeks more control over Africa’s resources, the fear is that Africans are so different from their Chinese overlords that the arrangement would quickly collapse. But with a half-breed as a buffer, it might ease the inevitable tension, resentment and conflict.
There are more thousands of Europeans/White westerners in China with many Euro-Chinese childeren aswell. Especially in Beijing, Hong Kong and other international orientated regions in China. Just look at the many weebo white male youtubers and their fetish for Chinese and Asian women. They adore China, not knowing many many Chinese and Asians have strong implicit anti-white sentiments. Especially their deep hate for White americans and Europeans based on past history.
Excellent choice of picture. The Happy Chairman.
Blood and soil, baby, blood and soil. In the end, all that matters.
I am skeptical of how many there actually are in China in any meaningful numbers. It’s enormously difficult for a foreign man to have a family in China with a Chinese woman because of the restrictions put on a family visa and often, financial requirements via the in-laws. A lot of the half-black Chinese are raised by single moms which is not the least bit surprising. Foreign women on the other hand will quickly find themselves completely trapped in a marriage with a Chinese man and essentially used as a uterus with divorce almost being impossible to get.
I am more worried about Canada, Australia, and even Ireland now where Chinese have swarmed too. Chinese women marry white men all the time and Chinese men are obsessed with white women. Global times loves to push white women to get married to Chinese by running articles about how much better Chinese men are and with Chinese women marrying out as much as they do; it is a real problem.
Could it be that the world’s leading comic kung fu virtuoso has read this article?
