Here are some of the key points laid out in the audio:
• The China-US dispute is fundamentally a fight for the right to live
• The US has always regarded China as its number one enemy, and uses China as a scapegoat for its domestic issues
• China is no longer willing to be bullied by the US and now openly opposes it
• The US and China are in a state of de-facto cold war, and the only way for the US to prevail would be to wage war, which it is willing to do
• The negotiating table and mutual shared interests are useless
• China needs to maintain a high level of vigilance and prepare for all eventualities
Gang's categorization of the United States:
• The US wants to maintain its position as the world's sole hegemony and will not accept any other oppositional power
• Practicality runs at its core: the US has a long and successful history of defeating competing world powers by any means necessary
• All of the US's war preparations in the Asia-Pacific region have already been completed
• USD is used as a weapon by the US to exploit other countries by reaping the benefits of their labor
• The US has no actual interests in curbing divisions and instead wants to disintegrate China; they will unite the entire capitalist world and go to war to do so
Gang's categorization of China:
• There are many people in China who believe the US cannot afford war with China, but they are misguided
• China currently cares more about "face" (respect/reputation) than practicality, but the survival of the nation is at stake if they don't exert their power
• China's development is fundamentally reshaping the world economy
• Since 2012, China has taken a more openly confident approach to the US, and thus, relations will never return to the way they were before
• A major challenge for China is whether they can bear the US's exploitation and oppression: China must be vigilant at all times
The recording also talks about Gang's thoughts on Russia:
• Putin is an exemplification of the kind of will that China needs to have
• Russia cannot win outright against the US, but can drag the US down with them
• Putin is consolidating and unifying the third world against the US in a magnitude never seen since the Cold War
• Whichever side China supports in the Russo-Ukrainian war will win
• China is supporting Russia economically and politically
