China 🇨🇳 is Already an Empire (not a coming one)…

The United States should do more than preparing for the coming China 🇨🇳 empire. China is already an Empire that the United States is dealing with. Unfortunately the way the United States 🇺🇸 is dealing with the rise of China 🇨🇳 as a new superpower will only end up in frontal confrontation…

China 🇨🇳 too should adapt to its responsibilities as a new global superpower… They need more reforms and opening up…

For sure China 🇨🇳 will end up by recovering its influence in the Pacific region where it will be in direct confrontation with the United States 🇺🇸 for such influence. India 🇮🇳 and China 🇨🇳 will be battling for the control of Indo-Pacific region influence…

The only one region where the United States 🇺🇸 can make a real difference is the Atlantic region in maintaining the global balance… China 🇨🇳 is already controlling the supply chain of strategic minerals, which are vital for the US defense industry… Africa, especially Congo-Kinshasa 🇨🇩, is key for such supply…

America will pay a very high price for having let Kagame becoming the gate guardian of Congo minerals, which are now taking India Ocean maritime roads instead of the Atlantic ones… Every butterfly effect ends up in a Tsunami… That’s part of Laws of Nature…

For a more global balance in the supply of minerals to the global economy, Congo should recover entirely its sovereignty on its minerals to freely supply all global players from the United States 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳, Russia 🇷🇺, Europe and UK 🇬🇧 to Japan 🇯🇵 and others who need them with predictability, independence and free market standards… I know how to build such efficient economy of natural resources in the Congo…

This means that it is in the best interest of everybody to help Congo building a strong natural resources economy that predictably supplies the global market to avoid weaponizing strategic minerals against anyone…

For the last 2 decades and half the United States 🇺🇸 has been using Paul Kagame and his regime to destroy Congo and allow him to become the key player in the control of Congo resources… As consequence, Congo resources are now under very dubious control maintained at the price or cost of mass violence against the people of Congo. The most tragic, the current control of Congo resources can be turned into a weapon anytime against the United States 🇺🇸… This is like having someone falling in his own trap…

Yet we want Congo strategic resources be used to supply the global market without becoming a curse against the Unalienable Rights of the People of the Congo. We want them to contribute to the development of our people and country… It seems like Reason is not what some tend to understand, even when such reason is to help them avoid a self destruction process they are engaged in…

From rare earths and minerals for strategic industries to gold for currency reserves; Congo-Kinshasa 🇨🇩 tragedy will ironically remind America the stupidity and idiocy of its foreign policy in Africa since Bill Clinton…

The irony is even cruel that we are witnessing the consequences of such idiocy in our lifetime; we have been warning about the dangers of such idiocy and being demonized and scapegoated…

Let be clear: I am not hostile to the United States 🇺🇸, neither to China 🇨🇳, Russia 🇷🇺, Europe or any other power… I just want to end the idiotic tragedy imposed to my native country, Congo-Kinshasa 🇨🇩 and help rebuilding this nation to play its full role in the global security and stability while using the dividends of its resources for the wellbeing of my people (period)…

Congo will have to do business with the United States 🇺🇸, China 🇨🇳, Russia 🇷🇺, Europe and UK 🇬🇧, Japan 🇯🇵, India 🇮🇳, Brazil 🇧🇷 and everyone needing its resources… However it should be done directly with the legitimate and non corrupt government of the Congo by respecting the Unalienable Rights and Legitimate Interests of our people… That has not be the case for the last 2 decades and half… We are going to end this chaos…
