[China's] BRI Transforming World Economic Order [Peacenik Trump?]



https://www.asiatimes.com/2019/04/opinion/bri-transforming-world-economic-order/

all this development won't help CO2 levels.  but did anyone see the Trump quote about peace (scroll to end below) in the mainstream press?

EXCERPT:
China’s capacity to bring long term infrastructure to nations torn by Western-funded wars and regime change is seen as a vital stabilizing influence not only to alleviate poverty and de-radicalize but also to provide a framework for genuine independence from Western intrigues. Commenting on the forum, the president of Lebanon stated, “The Arab countries have huge markets. We regard China as a good friend and are willing to further consolidate the relationship with China. We would like to draw the experience from China’s reform and development so as to benefit our people and seek our opportunities for development.”
Rather than embrace this new potential, Western “old paradigm” forces representing the entrenched deep state have screamed and hollered against the dangers of China and Russia threatening our democratic way of life.” Exemplifying this outlook was The Washington Post’s April 20 feature article “How Washington can beat China’s global influence campaign,” calling for an “alternative to the BRI” controlled by the Western elite. This plan is entirely absurd, since America has not only permitted its own infrastructure and productive powers to rot for 50 years, but has created no relevant infrastructure that has benefited nations abroad during that same time frame. All that has been created under decades of lending by the International Monetary Fund and World Bank that has meant debt slavery, impoverishment, and a $700 billion derivatives bubble that is ripe to explode.
Although great efforts were made over two years by the Five Eyes/Mueller-led witch hunt to destroy the potential alliance US President Donald Trump was proposing to form with Russia and China, the now published Mueller report turned out to be little more than a goose egg, failing to  prove any of the claims of Russian collusion. Jumping off that victory, Trump called loudly on April 5 for a conversion of vast military expenditures that only risk World War III toward a program of long-term investments among Russia, China and the US:


“Between Russia, China and us, we’re all making hundreds of billions of dollars’ worth of weapons, including nuclear, which is ridiculous.… I think it’s much better if we all got together and didn’t make these weapons … those three countries I think can come together and stop the spending and spend on things that are more productive toward long-term peace.”
