Echoing Helga LaRouche, German Claims “China Builds, Europe Just Watches”
A hard-hitting article was posted on the blog of the prominent liberal-conservative author Roland Tichy, under the headline “China baut, Europa schaut zu” (China Builds, Europe Just Watches”). Written by Fritz Görgen, a former advisor to German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, it makes the same point as Helga Zepp-LaRouche has made in her Nov. 1 statement, that The New Silk Road could become the spark of hope in an utterly destroyed Middle East.
The article initially contrasts China’s future-directed high-speed rail projects in Europe with the struggling EU, caught in the here and now. The author dismisses the U.S. State Department version of the Silk Road as not serious. Then he makes his main argument, saying that if the European nations want to stabilize the Middle East, then they have to have China as a partner.
The author continues:
“Along a logistical artery of this magnitude, industries will be lining up like pearls on a necklace: a magnet for short-term and long-term migrants, who are looking for a better life for themselves and their kin. A digital broadband will be accompanied by a logistical broadband such as the world has never seen. Just a statement of intent by the EU to join this project, even just a statement by its member-states, would change the political climate.
Once the first activities of planning and building appear on mobile screens, many will see the first longed-for silver-linings on the horizon. Such a strategy would improve the situation in the Near East, and would weaken the Islamic State decisively: Where people are gripped by hope and confidence, fundamentalism will cease to find its nourishment. This would be true not only for the Islamic State, which is usually talked about, but also for its relatives, such as Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.”
