I feel like negativity to the CCP or China while being "empathetic" towards the "people" is just racism is a very disguised form. It's a form of exclusion based on presumed understanding.

This problem has to be acknowledged in order for both sides to talk about it. You can't talk about a problem if you're in denial that it's a problem. No connection can happen when there is contempt. Both doors need to be vulnerable and open.

Otherwise, you drive one side deeper into their stubbornness. It's a matter of pride now, to make a solution work. To force it on the world.

This is the core conflict of the world. Two sides. Each believing in the same duality of good and bad. Each believing they are good. God is the perspective that sees them as the same, as two parts of a whole. But God doesn't exist, yet does...

What is God? God is pain. God is the two sides tiring of the conflict. God is the innate realization that enough is enough and that we can just stop.

God is everywhere and nowhere this way. We live either facing God, or facing away from God. From growing into our pain and realizing Enough, or turning away from it and always wanting More.

Beware false Gods, who inflict sources of pain to pretend to God. Beware false Gurus, who pretend to be supremely sensitive to pain but are pretending for attention.

Beware that which sells a Heaven away from Hell because that couldn't possibly be right. Heaven and Hell are the same. And once you realize that, your world becomes whole.

Stop running away from the present to the future of a Heaven, you make the present a Hell this way. Face the Hell of now and realize that attending to the tasks at hand is what allows you to always look forward towards Heaven.

Heaven is the act of looking forwards to Heaven. You can only be in Heaven when you realize that you'll never reach it. To look onwards to heaven is to stand outside of it. To stand outside the gates of heaven is to lie within it. A gateless gate.

Looping back to the China thought... It's easy to have contempt for people who we believe don't believe in the same bright future we do.

Fear of another makes us reject them. We want OUR future only but that can't possible work with 2 people co-creating the future. We MUST either remove them, or make it so that they're working for OUR future.

It is the fear of losing Heaven that causes one to want to capture it and so creates a Hell on earth by trying to enter it first or keep others from it.

The US relationship with China is reflective of all our modern issues... Whether it's with our partners, friends, colleagues, bosses, neighbors, etc... Whether we like it or not we're co-creating this Universe together. That "Other" will always be there.

Our relationship with "Other" is our relationship with everything and everyone else.

If we assume Other is trying to consume us we go on the offensive and try to consume them first. This is the same mirrored perspective of our own. By forgetting the mirror of equality we create the core loop of conflict. We stab the other was going in for an embrace.

And start a stabbing war. Desensitized soldiers drawing deeper and deeper cuts until they both have guns pointed at each other's heads.
