The Greater China Delusion: The Southeast Asian Mirage and Misaligned History
The Greater China Delusion: The Southeast Asian Mirage and Misaligned History
Southeast Asia's independence was not a gift from the United Nations, nor the "national liberation" the Communists boast about. What truly put these nations on the path to statehood was Japan. Japan smashed the colonial system. Centuries of white supremacy collapsed within days. Singapore fell, the Dutch were thrown out of Indonesia, the French humiliated in Indochina. For the first time, colonized peoples saw with their own eyes that whites were not invincible. The possibility of independence was carved out by Japan.
The Indonesians understood. They knew they had to guard this opening. The Communists sent agents, used the Chinese diaspora as tools to subvert the new state. Indonesians did not hesitate. They cut the danger out. That was not "anti-Chinese." It was the refusal to fall back into a colonial cage. Cambodia was weaker. Sihanouk wavered, and the Khmer Rouge dragged the country into a sea of blood. Millions were wiped out. Yet even Cambodia, after the carnage, broke free of the Communists. The Pan-Asian fire never went out.
The Chinese-speaking people were different. They were neither independent nor guardians. They had already been colonized—not by direct white armies, but by a Soviet-trained cadre of agents. Figures like Zhou Enlai and Deng Xiaoping were such men. They held the machinery of Communism, wrapped in the skin of a fake "Chinese Nation," trapping ordinary people in an illusion. "Zhonghua Minzu" was never real. It was an empty fabrication from the beginning.
This is the misalignment of history— and the disgrace of the yellow race.
