In writing How the World Adopted Beijing’s Economic Playbook, Michael Froman is no Zbigniew Brzezinski. As a member of the Trilateral Commission and President of the subversive Council on Foreign Relations, Froman argues that China Has Already Remade the International System. His declaration is a day late and a dollar short and thoroughly disingenuous.
In 2001, an article appeared in Time Magazine where another Trilateral, Hedley Donovan, was a founding member of the Trilateral Commission, and his publication was one of several media outlets that collaborated with Trilateral initiatives. The article, Made in China: The Revenge of the Nerds , accurately and plainly revealed what had taken place during the prior 20 years:
The nerds are running the show in today’s China. In the twenty years since Deng Xiaoping’s reforms kicked in, the composition of the Chinese leadership has shifted markedly in favor of technocrats. …It’s no exaggeration to describe the current regime as a technocracy.
After the Maoist madness abated and Deng Xiaoping inaugurated the opening and reforms that began in late 1978, scientific and technical intellectuals were among the first to be rehabilitated. Realizing that they were the key to the Four Modernizations embraced by the reformers, concerted efforts were made to bring the “experts” back into the fold.
During the 1980s, technocracy as a concept was much talked about, especially in the context of so-called “Neo-Authoritarianism” — the principle at the heart of the “Asian Developmental Model” that South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan had pursued with apparent success. The basic beliefs and assumptions of the technocrats were laid out quite plainly: Social and economic problems were akin to engineering problems and could be understood, addressed, and eventually solved as such.
The open hostility to religion that Beijing exhibits at times — most notably in its obsessive drive to stamp out the “evil cult” of Falun Gong — has pre-Marxist roots. Scientism underlies the post-Mao technocracy, and it is the orthodoxy against which heresies are measured. [Emphasis added]
Froman’s latest article asks “How the World Adopted Beijing’s Economic Playbook” and then carefully adds sub-heads like “How China Won”, “The United States is already living in China’s world” and “IF YOU CAN’T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM.”
Oh, golly gee. Who, me? I didn’t do it! How did this happen?
Froman knows full well that Zbigniew Brzezinski, with an assist from Henry Kissinger, inducted China into the the modern world in the first place and they showed them how to model Technocracy. He does not credit the plethora of Trilateral Commission-linked companies who lined to build China’s infrastructure, passed technology, and poured billions into developing its industry.
Nor does Froman even mention China’s massive “Belt and Road” initiative that has spread Technocracy to the world.
His article concludes: “In the war over who gets to define the rules of the road, the battle is over, at least for now. And China won.”
Well, if that is true, then the Trilateral Commission won. That was the plan all along.
