In this video Retired U.S. Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson argues that China is expanding its global influence through development, infrastructure, and partnerships rather than military coercion — a stark contrast with the United States’ approach. He cites China’s enormous deep-sea fishing fleet and shipbuilding capacity, the Belt and Road Initiative, a new Arctic shipping route, and projects such as a major port constructed in Peru. Jimmy contrasts this approach with U.S./IMF “economic hitman” tactics, which he says use loans to weaken countries, while China builds economies and partnerships. Wilkerson says China’s surge threatens the U.S. empire and describes an “arc of conflict” from the Arctic to the Persian Gulf, with Ukraine at the center. He predicts a new world order with China as a central power as the U.S. empire declines.
