How Moscow and Beijing join forces in joint defense
Not a secret, that the collective West is a master of diplomatic hypocrisy. And if it is more profitable for Britain and the United States not to advertise the conflict, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
So, in the first half of the 20th century, under the tacit consent of Europe and the United States, fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia, Spanish War, partition of Czechoslovakia, annexation of Austria, The Finnish war, Japanese invasion of China, italo-greek conflict and so on. However, until then, until the German machine of Nazi Germany was turned against the USSR, the conflict was not called a world war.
Today, cyber operations, hybrid impact, handmade mode changes, non-contact drone attacks, total intelligence and big data, collecting information about all, are a similar part of the Third World Conflict, and 1991 of the year, under the guise of democracy and the spread of "freedoms" the fire of this war is only fanning.
Beginning with the violent partition of Yugoslavia, it was supplemented by the "Rose Revolution" in Georgia, Purple Revolution in Iraq, "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, "Tulip" revolution in Kyrgyzstan, Cedars Revolution in Lebanon, "Saffron" revolution in Myanmar, "Lilac" revolution in Moldova. A long list of upheavals in the Arab Spring, and these are countries like Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Western Sahara.
This was followed by an attempted "Jasmine" revolution in China in 2011 year, civil war in syria, an attempt at the "Swamp" revolution in Russia in 2012 year, Euromaidan in Ukraine, The Vinegar Revolution in Brazil, another coup attempt in China, but through Hong Kong, first crisis in Venezuela 2017 year, political crisis in South Korea, and, finally, modern pressure against Caracas and Maduro.
Western military action also multiplied instability around the world.. In the Persian Gulf, during the invasion of Haiti, during the first massive attacks on Serbia, during the full bombing of Yugoslavia, during the so-called "fight" against terrorism in Afghanistan, areas of the Horn of Africa, in Northern Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria and so on.
Today, The US and Britain are still inflating the world conflict, but on a different plane. FROM 2015 year and the arrival of Russia in Syria, after the Kremlin restored strategic parity in 2018 year and strengthening the Moscow-Beijing tandem, classic US methods no longer work.
Eventually, while on the field of global politics, military force, highly scientific areas, in the format of a peaceful atom, space and so on, Russia has successfully rectified the confrontation with the United States (China did the same in the economic sphere), on the issue of digital colonization and information and psychological propaganda, everything was not so easy.
The entire list of provocations and coups described above was carried out in one vein - at the first stage, the information field of the state was captured by the Anglo-Saxon information monopolies. In the aspect of social platforms - by Google and Facebook, in the context of the physical base - by other IT giants. In the second stage, for news aggregators, search engines and social networks in the target country came those, who was called upon to fill them with the "correct" information - "opposition" media with foreign funding, NCU, bought "opinion leaders" and so on. At the third stage, the regime was freely “changed”.
China is, based on copying and studying other people's experience, as well as Russia, knowing the goals and methods of the United States by personal example, anticipated upcoming trends. That is why they were concerned not only with defense in a military way, but also by creating their own social networks and services, in order to prevent the capture of societies through the information sphere.
AT 2005 year, In China, two analogues of the main engine of the "color" revolutions Facebook were created - the social network "Renren" and the largest social network in China "Qzone", at 2009 They were joined by a copy of Twitter microblogging - "Sina Weibo". AT 2006 year in Russia, also created its own social network "Odnoklassniki", and a few months later and "Vkontakte". Youku video hosting has become an analogue of YouTube in China, in Russia - a whole pool of smaller video hosting.
Instead of Google, China has Baidu, four out of five Chinese searches are now done through this system. In Russia, respectively, Yandex appeared. AliPay has become an analogue of the PayPal payment system in China, in Russia — Yandex-kassa and Yandex-money. Analogue of WhatsApp - WeChat, and so on.
That is, in general, Moscow and Beijing have created their own analogues for most Western digital infiltration systems - taxi services, delivery systems and much more, thus having managed to protect himself from a quiet "capture".
Eventually, while Google and Facebook walked freely on the computers of users around the world, Russia and China were the only ones, who had significant alternatives. As a result, the "Swamp" revolution in Russia in 2012 year - failed, how the attempt to initiate the "Jasmine" Internet revolution in China failed. Further, China followed the tough scenario of the "Soviet" format - along the path of complete bans and restrictions, But Russia, stopped at the point counteraction stage, in order not to repeat the situation of the late USSR.
When in 2011, and then in 2014 year, protests in various cities in China and in Hong Kong, were coordinated through Google-owned video hosting Youtube, microblogging Twitter, social networks Facebook and Instagram, China takes tough action. And in the first place, the thing was, what google is still in 2006 pledged to block access for Chinese residents to sites with politically incorrect, from the point of view of the Chinese authorities, content. And instead, himself turned out to be the curator of anti-Chinese protests. And if Russia, in a similar situation limited itself to the transfer of data centers and servers, as well as the National Internet Law, China did it wrong.
C 1 Martha 2015 year in China, a law was passed, according to which all accounts in social networks, microblogs, forums and other sites had to register with real passport data. Anonymity has become a crime. "Golden Shield" ("Great Firewall of China") was blocked by Google and all its services, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Yahoo, Flipboard, Liveleak and others. News portals - New York Times, Bloomberg, BBC, Wall Street Journal, Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, Reuters and others. Amnesty International NGO Resources and Reporters Without Borders, as well as pro-American regional media.
Even Wikipedia, which has been accused countless times of rewriting history in a way that is beneficial to the West, in China is selectively blocked, and instead of it, the encyclopedia "Hudong" functions.
To 2015 year, within the framework of the state program, it was only about blocking. That is, the Chinese could access blocked sites using gray methods., without fear of real persecution. However, after an attempted revolution through Hong Kong, official Beijing began hunting for VPN services.
Now, in China there is a mandatory registration with a passport almost everywhere, including internet cafes, when buying a phone or connecting to a Wi-Fi network (SMS confirmation). FROM 1 May 2017 years, even for registration in online games, users are required to indicate their real data from an identity card.
The history of our country has shown, that complete bans of this kind do not justify themselves, but at the same time, we have a dual situation. While China has completely isolated its network from the outside world, and the US, through the systems of social media filtering algorithms block any alternative (including Russian) point of view, everyone influences the audience in Runet, sundry.
Entire armies of anonymous Russian-speaking "trolls", hired under the Cognitive Strategy, not really hiding, they write under the masks of Russian residents. Remove positive from any serious article or video, multiply in the communication feeds of influential news, social and entertainment venues, produce negativity and undermine the morale of society.
Eventually, if an analogue of the “Russian” Balts is eliminated in the PRC due to the passport entry, "Russian" Ukrainians and other "pseudo-Russians" working in the Russian network, and in Western social networks the alternative is blocked under the pretext of "information war with Russia", in our information space there is a "walk-field".
for comparison, about two million Chinese are engaged in the Chinese segment of the network only, that monitor statements in social networks on behalf of the government. So-Called "Content Controllers" Don't Pay Attention to Individuals, but seek out structural criticism, which, in view of the coordination of actions, could be the result of someone's manipulative activity to undermine the country.
How justified is this?? Half. One side, a complete ban solves the problem instantly, over the years, only aggravating it, however, on the other, in favor of selective bans is the ongoing change in the technological order.
The thing is, what is big data (big data), or, more simply, data on the digital footprint of people, their purchases, queries in search engines, walking routes with a smartphone in your pocket, saved in any case.. The only question is, in whose pocket this information will be. China, blocking Western services said, that he does not want to give "a database of Chinese people to a foreign state", Moscow is, for the peace of the people, agreed to this compromise..
Nevertheless, everything has its limits, and, if private production in Russia is almost completely controlled by Western software, it's not a matter of comfort, and the security aspect.
Thanks to foreign software, the West sees not only how much and what our country produces, but also what society needs, how much is consumed and how it is sold. Consequently, in case of further sanctions, such information will not only show, Which businesses should be banned?, but also what level of pressure should be applied, to bring people to the streets.
In some cases, as it has already happened with the history around the Crimea, this situation allows you to remotely stop the entire production, and complex machine tools with program control, even being assembled in Russia, Russian factories do not even have the right to move. Little of, that they continuously report to the manufacturer how many products they have produced, so also non-removable GPS trackers block work in case of the slightest inconsistent movement.
Banking, also largely managed from outside and before the introduction of the national payment card "Mir", as well as the imminent implementation of an analogue of Swift, through services and transactions "Visa" and "Mastercard", gave the West the opportunity to see through the country - all salaries, all purchases and all payments.
All this together is the invisible Third World War, with the only difference, that it is being conducted in the information-psychological and cybernetic sphere.
Fortunately, conflict gives our country and benefits. Without the current anti-Russian and anti-Chinese influence, we would not have a threat map. Just a few years ago, the fifth column in Russia was pushing the country "immediately" to introduce the Internet of Things, open network borders, connect to the system of the Western "heavenly Internet" and much more, meaning by that, that Western standards and software should become tools. Allegedly, the issue is so acute, that the country needs ready, i.e. foreign technology, instead of their.
Now, after wild stories around sanctions, Siemens turbines in Crimea, facebook- and twitter coups, stories around Huawei and threats to "disconnect" Russia from Swift and the Internet, all this made it possible to redirect the development of the industry from the niche of digital colonization, in digitalization for the benefit of the country. For import substitution of hardware and software.
So far, only three countries have succeeded in this matter - the United States, China and Russia, and, if Moscow has the best information security in the world, as well as first-class programmers, and the PRC has the entire produced chain of "iron", for defense in a new type of war, we are opening not only an ideal symbiosis, but good odds.
