British Press Froth at the Mouth over the SCO Summit and Military Parade

Sept. 5—London’s Daily Telegraph insanely demanded Sept. 3 that “Britain Must Stand against Xi Jinping’s Disturbing Vision of the Future.” They then put on a stunning display of linguistic acrobatics: “When Mr. Xi promises to build a ‘community of common security,’ what he means is that no country should have any allies, leaving all but the strongest at China’s mercy. When he stresses the ‘sovereign equality’ of states, he means that no one should interfere with the sovereign right of tyrants to murder, torture and oppress their own peoples…. No one should doubt that a world re-ordered by Mr. Xi would be a bleak and pitiless place.”

The Tory-graph then demand action against Xi’s “chilling dream”: “Does our Government have a view on this? One hopes that Britain would stand with America and the free world in opposing Mr. Xi’s disturbing visions. If that is our intention—and one day a Prime Minister should muster the courage to say so—then it would make little sense to allow China to build our entire energy system, or supply the electric cars that just about all of us will drive.”
