hi I am Peter Lee and this is news but China watch this week what quarter rises in China and win win whine whine Obama to the tears last week I talked about rex Tillis is remarkable use favorite Chinese term win win Obama Asia hands fear and Lou win win since it's a signal but trump will deal with China instead of devoting one hundred percent of America's2/45
energies to containing child Eli Radner pivo tearing chief firm bonus Twitter account the tuitions use of the phrase was no I am told tulisan was fully briefed Mr context decided to use phrases anyway it seems team Obama was completely blind sided by two listens move a sign that there may be is ain't reasonably well organized functional and non leaking China team trumpet somewhere how about that3/45
and here's something else the Obama east a remarkable endorsement of win win from the UN security council resolution in Afghanistan it loaded quote the spirit of win win cooperation as an effective means to promote security stability and economic and social development in Afghanistan quote the P. R. C. absolutely adored this resolution and even big clay in state media a resolution not only recognize win win it4/45
praised China's one belt one road project bear in mind this resolution was passed unanimously with the United States all the other permanent and non permanent members of the security council voting in favor mac lean you inner city press who probably knows more about the goings on inside dealings scandals UN headquarters any other journalist told news but that the resolution was drafted by a whole countries Japan5/45
and Japan was quote crowd of its work and one has to wonder what India is thinking about it hates the idea of China entrench itself in Afghanistan and it heats the one built one road with the intensity of a thousand Suns China Pakistan economic corridor or see see leg of the OB O. R. is a major projection of Chinese imports into South Asia end it passes6/45
through a part of disputed Kashmir major defiance of India Herodotus this remarkable turn of events leads me to speculate that the UN resolution may have been a quid pro quo China in the negotiations to set up the famous tribes you own call the US wants to get out of Afghanistan the P. R. C. wants to get into Afghanistan on its own terms and maybe this was7/45
how the deal went down things are not going to well for team America in Afghanistan the Afghan Taliban drove government forces out of it she district in Helmand province the US general complain that Russia was assisting talaga I tend not to dismiss that accusation out of hand because I think both Russia and China keen to help the Afghan Taliban and gain the advantage your Afghanistan as8/45
a not quite feeling state that doesn't harbor isis Uighurs and other Islamic militants with regional missions at the same time the US command announced it was going to defeat ISIS in Afghanistan this year interesting development for several reasons first of all the U. S. Indian position used to be ISIS threat in Afghanistan it's just an excuse by Pakistan Russia and China to coddle the Afghan Taliban9/45
but on may eighth ISIS fighters attacked Afghan military hospital middle of Kabul massacred over thirty people hello for hours until Afghan security forces were able to secure the hospital brazen attack pretty much shut down the ice is in Afghanistan is nothing to worry about story so now the United States is declaring it's going to wipe out isis in Afghanistan by the end of the year not10/45
just to stabilize Afghanistan but also remove the ISIS factor from the political equation so the US can laser focus on the Afghan Taliban problem good luck with that seriously the biggest below the radar story and global security ongoing exodus of Islamic militants from Syria and Iraq and apparently the U. S. decision that this time it's going to do something about and that means it has to11/45
do something about it Afghanistan over the last thirty years easiest way to deal with Islamic fighters was to shop with them off to another country in my opinion Hillary Clinton's clever plan to stabilize Libya post Gaddafi by shipping fighters off to Syria wasn't even bigger crime slash blunder than George W. bush's invasion of Iraq that's saying a lot in any case it looks like the US12/45
military wants to shut the door on ISIS fighters and it has to do it quick especially in failing state havens like Afghanistan there are already reports the Tajik fighters who were originally slated to go to the Middle East are staying home and looking to join up with forces in Central Asia ISIS course on problems Afghanistan so it increasingly looks like the United States is interested in13/45
a win win and China in Afghanistan jewel Asian security issues also figure in one of the more remarkable stories to come out of China this year the announcement that frontier services group well established forward operating bases in China's western Xinjiang and its south Indian not remarkable because frontier services group is owned by the black prince of black ops black warders own Eric prince to increase the14/45
wow factor prince's sister Betsy the boss is now charms secretary of education the fact that China is willing to provide a happy home for Eric prince is pretty interesting he may be the brother of a trump administration cabinet officer but he's also the documented loose cannon that case Eric prince is China interests are no secret after he departed Blackwater he set up shop in Abu Dhabi15/45
in Hong Kong with the new enterprise frontier services group or FSG a major investor in FSG is China's civic group itself one of the more gonzo risk taking out that emerged from the early go go days of China's economic reforms at first she was marketed as not even work goon squad in other words not in the business of providing boarded up Oakley wary assault rifle toting16/45
expression horses types whose idea of providing security was shooting up masses of civilians you know like black water did in two thousand seven in Iraq well it killed seventeen people during a rampage in this or square FSG is a violently in the business of providing under armed logistics complicated places we're normal companies are less willing to operate at first use historical focus was Africa there's a17/45
lot of places in Africa that have resources their governments and international corporations want to develop but can't quite control and they attract the computing attention of insurgents rebels and banned DDT the government of south Sudan may be a basket case but it was able to scrape together twenty three million dollars Hey FSG to try to help you put oil industry running in the middle of a18/45
civil war however that apparently wasn't enough money or excitement or Eric prince according to George Clooney's NGO the sentry FSG also discreetly provided five point six million dollars in logistical support to the south Sudan military which is no no and according to the intercept magazine Eric prince pitched the government of south Sudan on a Kubert three hundred million dollar action plan cold iron fist not to19/45
be confused with the action movie iron fist which would unleash a battalion of heavily armed mercs to rampage through south Sudan somewhere up the US government would supposedly never find out about well somebody found out in the intercepts got the story prince was not only keen to provide muscle on the ground you personally put a lot of money and energy prototyping might attack that could make20/45
FSG a provider of air power to interested parties so called light attack planes are crop duster inexpensive maneuverable turboprops the US government adopted crop dusters for coca eradication programs in South America and since narcos didn't like the planes and shot at they had to be ruggedized armor bullet proof glass and self sealing fuel tanks the planes fly low and slow like drones but they have what's21/45
called superior situational awareness which means the pilot can turn his head and looked out the window stem steering into video Mar the inevitable next step was arming the planes you Gatling guns in hellfire missiles and bombs when attackers in is sold as the eighty eight twenty you the United Arab Emirates what it doesn't option FSG and use them in the ongoing Yemen blood and also put22/45
some in Libya at the service of general half star and believe it or not apparently Eric princes guys were flying Kenya at first you wanted to become an operator of unscheduled flights out of an airfield near Mombasa providing specialized aviation services like aerial surveys oil pipelines however the Kenyan government refused to license twenty fourteen officially because of questions about FS Jeez ownership structure unofficially I think23/45
it was because the Kenyan government and probably Africa in the U. S. government didn't want Eric prince operating the Chinese back private your service or Eric prince needy flight attack aircraft around after that in addition to doing all the terrible things that you're Chris operations usually do would be complicating America's strategies and operations and maybe even reducing the leverage that the U. S. enjoys over shaking24/45
local governments as a vital supplier of military muscle according to the intercept the whole thing blew up at a border directors meeting in Hong Kong in March twenty fifteen the respectable American contingent in that first year management and on the board which had probably been laughing about whatever they knew or suspected to the Pentagon Langley the intercept whoever else listen mail when retired admiral William Fallon25/45
resigned or he said this wasn't what I had signed up for well maybe what the US executives had thought they had signed up for was making big money from all the books business and maybe also making big money from off the books business Air America style Air America for those of you too young to remember was a CIA affiliated airline spooks fighters arms drugs and who26/45
knows what else in and out of south Asian conflict zones for Uncle Sam during the Vietnam War instead maybe what do you SI got into was your prince maybe even the prince airforce also maybe potentially air P. R. C. asset for China to project power and perhaps conduct security in covert operations beyond its borders I have service might have been pretty attractive in parts of Africa27/45
especially for leaders who might prefer to have Chinese muscle on tap instead of relying on AFRICOM French troops or roaming south African mercenaries anyway after the board ruckus the Americans last prince stayed and the Chinese contingent took over and in December of twenty sixteen FSG announced up here but in a press release that stated that FSG quote is adjusting its corporate strategy to better capitalize on28/45
the opportunities available from China's one belt one road development initiative the updated strategic focus will enable FSG to offer its customers improved access to the challenging market surrounding China's borders at first you will be opening a forward operating base in China's you nonprofits this will allow FSG to be able to better serve companies and gone Mar Thailand Laos and Cambodia subsequently FSG will be opening a29/45
forward operating base Xinjiang autonomous region to serve businesses in the surrounding countries end quote this isn't just Eric prince popping crazy pills the semi official global terms interviewed him about it and the Chinese government led global times printed and not only that the Chinese government let the completely official people's daily pick up a global time story basically it looks like the U. S. is doing its30/45
best to shut epost you out of Africa imprints is searching for a new niece in China it's competitive advantage is supposed to be his eagerness to operate on wild and woolly frontiers hence the name frontier services group or other companies hesitate to go in China that means in Younan down by the Golden Triangle where the borders of Burma Thailand and Laos meet and the machine job31/45
in the middle of Stanley's I tend to doubt the P. R. C. specifically tasking expressed you with any security related missions just yet but maybe there's interest especially in light of princes deviation related obsessions I would think the fact that he has highly skilled and experienced mercenary grounded near personnel on tap and available when needed they're based surveillance and rapid response is an increasingly important priority32/45
for China which has long skinny infrastructure projects stretching thousands of miles through Asia I passed in places where security is weak and the locals maybe the regional powers and super powers are hostile in the place huge burdens or surveillance and see task there are projects like the China Pakistan economic core eek land route real pipeline link which runs three thousand kilometers from Pakistan to cash or33/45
John and the seven hundred seventy kilometer sit where Quinn me oil and gas pipelines which run from Burma do you know in China and the pipeline and really projects that right East West machine John and the central Asian stands and are increasingly vulnerable to isis related disruption the CPSC is already the focus of local opposition slash terrorism and a significant multi national security operation China announced34/45
in this quintupled it's marine force to one hundred thousand people a good number of these marines will probably end up securing the Gwadar port in Pakistan at the southern terminus of the CPC which is leased to China security along the CPC and the rest of Pakistan in the hands of the Pakistan army which is perhaps the only security force more violent and uncontrolled the Blackwater allegedly35/45
was Pakistan's province of Balochistan is reportedly turning into a horror show of reeds and disappearances as the Pakistan army and security services flood the province trample local opposition and suppress attacks on CPAC infrastructure India and perhaps the United States are probably thinking about assisting the development of a local resistance that might spill over into she job China doesn't want a simple largest anti problems of attacks36/45
on facilities staff and security of the sea you see as it winds through yeah shooting has vowed to build a great wall of iron to secure Shinya maybe FSG with its expertise personnel and its planes could be part of that in a statement to buzzfeed FSG reiterated it was not getting into the murk business and would be doing under armed security projects buzzfeed's anonymous informants walk37/45
beside you it was ridiculous that one either using sonic weapons joke the other isn't psychic powers well remember that chairman Mao thing about power comes out of the barrel of a gun I think the CCP he still remembers China has a thing about not letting on state actors especially private companies run by U. S. news break its monopoly on lethal force employees of foreign controlled companies38/45
like your first you can't carry weapons meanwhile there are plenty of locally owned security companies stocked with XP LA soldiers that do get to carry and there is of course the PL eight itself so FSG Merck army and airforce handling routine security operation has a ways to go but an exception might be made for special situations one problem that accompanies operation of resource infrastructure projects in39/45
conflict zones is hostage situations traditionally when Chinese citizens are taken hostage oversees the P. R. C. relied on security services of the local government to do their best or worst to resolve the situation well my turn out to be increasingly unacceptable to xi Jinping if the P. R. C. wants to respond rapidly and effectively to hostage crises in neighboring countries or at home it would be40/45
very helpful to have an existing organization planes pilots personnel would know the local conditions and is used to moving in and out and around these places days and even our scout you know like FSG from those ominously named order operating leases in Xinjiang in you know so maybe the P. R. C. is willing to welcome here prince because it likes the idea of a pop up41/45
counter terrorism capability that could be called on to handle emergency the Chinese special forces might not be ready to handle if there's some high profile hostage crisis that calls on black water style experts I would expect they would go along in the nominally I cerebral to Chinese forces boy G. sock goes along in a nominally advisory role to US allies up close and personal armed and42/45
ready to kill people but even if the opportunities for killing people in you know in Xinjiang the surrounding countries don't materialize there is one area in which FSU's mercenaries could hard media employment and that's in trainee conducting non weapons related training for XBLA soldiers and more down market running bodyguard schools China bodyguard schools are a big business in China there are around three thousand of them43/45
training people to provide protection to Chinese VIP's in country and overseas US and Israeli instructors are valued most highly because quite bluntly the P. R. C. is still way behind the United States and Israel in the art of teaching people how to kill well trained well armed and highly motivated adversaries that's all for this week thanks for watching if you're watching this on you to go44/45
