It’s a sad and lonely place now in the west. Only trouble and strife seem to be showing any signs of regular activity. And not a single thing appears to be going right, or even ‘going’ at all. Even in the west’s most active industry, the military conflict department, where warehouses and arsenals sit empty and bare, the lifelines of society, the news media, have to make up lurid lies of success and victory from assorted minor sorties on blood-soaked battlefields with mainly unseen, unreachable, enemies. Gloom and despair descends over the whole scene. Even panic is seen lurking around corners and making forays into frantic decision centers of all kinds. Industry grinds to a halt, lacking that which drives it at any sustainable level.
Even some of the west’s loosely tied power centers are looking to the east where there is motion and commotion, gatherings, discussions, and other attractive activity and bright lights. Where deals can be made, ventures joined, and the kind of activity which breathes life into human societies can be fully entered into.
This is a time of readjustment, of a realignment of the poles. And the new poles are rising in the east.
Meanwhile the west appears to want none of that, and yet has nothing to offer in return or even with which to compete or to prevent its loose associations from breaking free to themselves benefit from the changing polarity.
So be it.
While Russia holds the western wall to prevent any further contamination or seepages from the dying and diseased confabulations of western empires, eastward or in fact to anywhere outside their own sectors which might pervert other areas of the world just awakening to the ongoing polar shifts, China, in full partnership with that endeavour, is busying itself with promoting this new era of enlightened progress to all global societies who wish to share in it.

And this is the place to be right now.
