“This situation would have fed nationalist sentiment, and wars would be imminent. “Should China’s mainstream political parties have been fiscally irresponsible and pursued interventionist policies globally, like in the United States, the People’s Liberation Army would have received an inflated military budget - at the expense of development projects. “Should China have adopted a system that facilitated lobbying among interest groups, it would have been caught in a self-perpetuating cycle of endless debates.

State-run China Daily, which carried Xinhua’s commentary as an editorial piece, omitted references to India. “In 2014, India registered a per capital GDP equal to a mere quarter of China’s GDP,” it said. “At best, China would have been another India, the world’s biggest democracy by Western standards, where around 20 percent of the world’s poorest live and whose democracy focuses on how power is divided,” the commentary said, mocking the democratic political system in India. Half of the 1.3-billion population may have been recipients of foreign aid, making it a huge burden on the world,” it said. “Further, China’s feat of becoming the first developing country to halve its population living in poverty would have never been accomplished. “Hindsight shows us that the Western political system, which is not inherently problematic and was designed to encourage freedom, would have been incompatible to a country where efficiency has driven remarkable economic growth and social development,” state-run Xinhua news agency said in a commentary, reports PTI.

Last week, the Chinese embassy in Tokyo posted an anti-American and antisemitic meme. The despicable social media posts are part of China’s newly unleashed propaganda and smear campaign against perceived foes. Beijing considers it an ‘Indo-Pacific NATO,’ akin to the Western coalition forged to contain the Soviet-Communist expansionism after WWII. Under former President Donald Trump’s watch, India deepened its participation in the U.S.-led Asia Pacific alliance, also known as the Quad.

The Ministry of Public Security, which has 31 million followers on Weibo, also posted a similar message on Friday comparing the image of an emergency hospital in Wuhan named Huoshenshan (which means fire god mountain), with a photo of a mass cremation ground in India.
