China Responds To George Soros

As we reported previously, one year after he famously slammed Google and Facebook at Davos 2018, calling them a "Menace" and "Monopolistic" and predicting it's "Only a matter of time before the global dominance of the US IT monopolies is broken," this time Soros took aim at what he believes is an even greater adversary, one which even Donald Trump might agree with: China.

"China is not the only authoritarian regime in the world but it is the wealthiest, strongest and technologically most advanced," Soros lashed out at Beijing, while taking particular aim at China's president: "This makes Xi Jinping the most dangerous opponent of open societies."

Before the general public rushes to declare that Soros and Trump are now BFFs due to their shared common nemesis, the billionaire democrat donor made it clear that in addition to seeking the replacement of Xi, he would be just as delighted if Trump were also gone, because since "We are in a Cold War that threatens to turn into a hot one" if "Xi and Trump were no longer in power, an opportunity would present itself to develop greater cooperation between the two cyber-superpowers." Cooperation which would only be made possible and dominated by "Something similar to the United Nations Treaty that arose out of the Second World War." In other words an organization modeled after Soros' very own Open Society.

While Soros' aggressive 3295-word attack on China took many by surprise, what was just as notable was China's response to Soros' scathing criticism: there was none.

China made it quite clear that in its opinion, Soros is no longer relevant saying that "Statements by certain people, which portray black as white and distort facts, are completely pointless and not worthy of even a rebuttal."

Of course, the best way for Beijing to respond to Soros' damning insinuations and accusations is merely to ignore them, while implicitly stating that Soros is not only senile but ideologically motivated and "Distorting the facts", in short: not even worthy of a rebuttal.

The official warned that such an approach - expressed by Soros and other figures of the US elite - sows nothing but confrontation, which ultimately harms the US itself end impedes economic growth worldwide.
