If there is a Wiki leak, what would the Chinese say if there was a Wiki China?
As most people know, secrets from US embassies all over the world were splashed on front pages of world newspapers causing quite a deal of embarrassment to the Obama administration, especially Hillary Clinton.
What if China had a Wiki leaker and we could see what its embassy in the US was reporting about the United States.
The brilliant journalist and author of bestselling books Thomas Friedman recently wrote an article for the New York Times that I found fascinating.
In the article, he wrote a wiki leak report as if it had been sent by the Chinese Embassy in the US.
For example, he said that the Chinese would probably report the fact that the US is a deeply politically polarized country which would certainly be good to help China overtake the US economy, presently the world’s most powerful economy.
He said that the Chinese would probably detect a sense of self destructiveness in the air as if the US had all the time and money to be concerned with petty politics.
He makes the point that people are fighting over how and where an airport security officer can touch a passenger going through a security machine instead of worrying over more serious matters.
The US is fighting over the latest nuclear arms reduction treaty with Russia, and with the high stakes involved, I don’t see that as a negative. On the contrary, we need good negotiators to make sure that the deal is a win win otherwise it will not work.
Friedman sees the Republicans as being so interested in weakening President Obama that they are going to scuttle a treaty that could foster closer US Russian cooperation on issues like Iran. I may be wrong, but he should take into consideration that there are a few national security experts saying that as it stands now, the treaty is not a good one for the US.
Friedman makes a good point about the need to fix the structural problems we are facing now: a ballooning deficit, which has tripled under the present administration, declining educational performance, crumbling infrastructure and diminished immigration of new talent.
He makes a very interesting point and that is that Americans don’t travel abroad as much as they should and they are not aware of how fast the rest of the world is advancing.
I have the benefit of having to travel because of my career and having visited Germany, England, Switzerland and Hong Kong recently, I can honestly say that indeed, other countries seem to be taking the current state of world affairs a little more seriously than the average American is.
We have been fighting a war in Afghanistan for the last nine years with no end in sight. It costs us 190 million dollars a day, for goodness sake, to be able to just hold our own in that difficult territory.
We have spent billions in Iraq and there is not too much positive about it except that they got rid of a ruthless dictator. But there are ruthless dictators all over the world, one in particular, only 90 miles from the United States.
What are we to do now in North Korea? The US doesn’t have the capability to wage a third war and the South Koreans are counting on us backing them up if the lunatics running that regime decide to attack them once more.
Friedman says that most of the Republicans just elected to Congress do not believe what our scientists are telling us about manmade climate change. America’s politicians are mainly lawyers, not engineers or scientists as are many of the Chinese government officials, so they say crazy things about science and nobody challenges them.
This is good for the Chinese because it means that they will not support any bill to spur clean energy innovation which is central for the next five year Chinese plan. This means that the Chinese efforts to dominate the wind, solar, nuclear and electric car industries will not be challenged by the US.
I am not so sure about that. If we take a look at the Volt and other American electric cars ready to be unveiled, we can see that the American automobile industry is taking this new wave very seriously.
Friedman’s final point is that record numbers of US high school students are now studying Chinese, which should guarantee China a steady supply of cheap labor that speaks Chinese as they use their 2.3 trillion in reserves to quietly buy up US factories.
He sums it up by saying that things are going well for China in America and the Chinese should be very happy that the world can’t read their diplomatic cables.
Before finishing the article, just a little note about Julian Assange. He is a very interesting individual; in deep trouble now with several law enforcement agencies, but nonetheless an interesting character.
He has disclosed more classified documents than the rest of the world combined. That is no easy thing to do. He uses whistle blowers, state of the art encryption to bounce stuff around the internet so as to hide trails, and pass it around legal jurisdictions such as Sweden and Belgium to enact legal protections. He gets information in the mail, the regular mail, encrypted or not, vet it like a regular news organization, format it, which is in reality very hard to do since they work with giant databases of information, release it to the public and then defend themselves against the inevitable legal and political attacks.
What drives Julian?
As many of my readers know, I have spoken at TED twice and Julian participated in a TED conference in 2010. In his TED interview, he was very candid about his upbringing, having gone to 37 schools during his childhood because of his parents being in business and running away from a cult.
He said that his core value, what drives him to do what he does, is the fact that” capable generous men don’t create victims, they nurture victims”.
I don’t agree with everything he is doing and I think that he himself is creating victims and going against his core values but at the same time, he is a man with passion, doing what he believes is right.
