The Deep State and Reset of World Order to Communist China Via Belt and Road Initiative China's Belt and Road The initiative until recently was known in English as the “One Belt, One Road Initiative" or OBOR. However, when Chinese leaders realized use of the word “one” two times in the name might signal to international audiences that China is using the effort to supplant the United States around the world, the translation of the term was changed — but only in English. To make the initiative sound less threatening, China changed the name to the shorter “Belt and Road Initiative" or BRI. After the English rebranding was revealed, all U.S. government agencies were urged to stop assisting Chinese propaganda by avoiding all use of the Beijing-authorized term Belt and Road Initiative. Make no mistake, OBOR is China’s economic system of socialism. A political ideology of one-party communist rule for a China-led new world order. The Chinese infrastructure program is being used by Beijing to exploit and gain leverage over free nations. The Risks of the China-Saudi Arabia Partnership Chinese Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Li Huaxin praised Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 project and called for tighter integration between Saudi Arabia’s economic diversification efforts and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Li also expressed enthusiastic support for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s anti-corruption campaign, claiming that his efforts to strengthen the rule of law in Saudi Arabia would increase the country’s attractiveness as an investment destination for Chinese businesses. While Li’s praise for Saudi Arabia’s economic reforms suggests that the Beijing-Riyadh partnership is on firm footing, growing concerns in the United States about the implications of Chinese investments for the Washington-Riyadh alliance and uncertainties surrounding the nature of the Saudi privatization process could limit the scope of China-Saudi Arabia economic cooperation. These factors could cause Beijing to eventually pivot more firmly toward Riyadh’s regional rivals, Iran and Qatar. Saudi Arabia’s Balancing Act Between China and the United States Even though Washington did not react strongly to China’s emergence as Saudi Arabia’s largest trade partner in 2010, many U.S. policymakers are concerned that China will make Saudi Arabia an unwitting pawn in its efforts to erode U.S. hegemony over global financial markets. These concerns have risen sharply since Saudi Arabia’s Vice Minister of Economy and Planning Mohammed al-Tuwaijri announced on August 24 that Saudi Arabia planned to partially cover its budget deficit in Chinese yuan to reduce its financial dependency on the U.S. dollar. What will the Belt and Road Initiative look like ? Here is the plan in Pakistan To position Pakistan as a raw materials supplier for China, an export market for Chinese products and labour, and an experimental ground for the export of the surveillance state China is rolling out in Xinjiang. Should Saudi Arabia be a part of CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor) ? Recently, news has been circulating that Saudi Arabia will be joining CPEC. It is still unclear what role they would play, whether they will be a strategic partner, an investor or something else.  Should Saudi Arabia be part of CPEC? If yes, then in what capacity? Before trying to answer these questions, one should understand the broader picture. In fact, I have always objected the presentation of CPEC that it is always portrayed as an independent and stand-alone project. Its connection to China’s greater plan of BRI is generally considered trivial and is casually overlooked. China Aims to Convert Syria into a Strategic Territory The potential end of the war in Syria has already started to attract investors for the country’s reconstruction and its millions of peoples’ rehabilitation and employment. While no one country can single-handedly put Syria back on track, not every country’s economic investment in Syria would have as significant strategic implications as China, for China would not just be playing a role in reconstruction, but it will also be turning Syrian into a strategic territory by connecting it with its Belt & Road Initiative. Already China has expressed deep interest in building a sea port in Tartus, which will serve China’s strategic interests, serving to directly establish a sea line of communication through Gawadar in Pakistan and Tartus in Syria. China is, therefore, is fully attentive to what it can do in Syria in the post-war scenario and how it can translate Syria’s infrastructure needs into a strategic opportunity for itself. China had made its intentions through a letter that China’s ambassador to Syria had written. The letter makes it clear as to how China aims to connect Syria with BRI through the laying down of an extensive rail network and other financial and infrastructural projects. How exactly this will happen is yet to be seen, but what we know so far is that China’s plans include a larger territorial connectivity of other regions through Syria. One of the projects in the pipeline would suffice to illustrate China’s approach. According to this, while China has interest in the port of Tartus, an alternative option for China, which is also under consideration, is to build a sea port in Lebanon’s city of Tripoli and use that port, through a railway network connecting Lebanon and Syria, to build a new geography of trade and deliver its goods and materials into and from Syria. Besides it, the Chinese have also expressed an interest in building a trans-country railway network connecting Iran, Turkey and Syria. With Pakistan and Iran having a direct territorial border and with China already having deep economic presence in Pakistan, this railway network would allow China to build a direct territorial link with Syria. More on Belt and Road China has urged at least 68 countries to be a part of its “Belt and Road Initiative” (BRI). Thus from October 2013 onwards, President Xi Jin Ping fired the first boost in Almaty, Kazakhstan, followed by a second boost by urging Indonesia to be a part of the BRI too. Surely, China could not have missed the plain fact that these were two Muslim countries that have renounced Communism in all its forms. Yet, regardless of whether it was Kazakhstan or Indonesia, the leaders of these two countries dealt with China, alas, as a “state” even as a civilisation, too, since China was propagating the importance of restoring the ancient For the lack of better word, these two countries, including Malaysia, adopted the Confucian concept of “Chung Yung” or “the Middle Way.” Instead of trying to distance themselves from China or BRI, Kazakhstan, Indonesia, and Malaysia, three of the most progressive Muslim countries the Islamic world has yet witnessed, sought to engage China, indeed, to give President Xi Jin Ping’s grand strategy a huge boost. While it is true that China has pledged close to US$100 billion to fund the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) with another US$50 billion for the Silk Road Fund, it is also true that some countries who took the loans have found themselves unable to repay these debts. Sri Lanka, Maldives, Pakistan, potentially and Tonga in the Pacific, are now on this list. Even Venezuela, which falls out of the scope of BRI, has faced immense headwinds. Caracas has had to make good on its debt commitments to China by way of bartering their oil exports back to China. Beijing, for the lack of better word, isn’t giving cost-free financial assistance and loans. They carry a huge impact on the recipient countries.
