CPC Places Belt and Road in Its Constitution

On the concluding day of the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress, the Congress placed the Belt and Road Initiative into its Constitution. The new phrase calls on the nation and the people to “pursue the Belt and Road Initiative.” It also added the words: “Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era,” and a call to “follow the principle of achieving shared growth through discussion and collaboration.”

This provides a context in which President Trump’s trip to Asia, beginning Nov. 3, can become a turning point in history. Trump will be meeting Xi Jinping in Beijing on Nov. 8. If he announces there that the U.S. will fully participate in the Belt and Road Initiative, and joins the AIIB (which Obama tried so hard to sabotage), the new paradigm given birth through Xi Jinping’s New Silk Road can become a universal reality.

If Trump then meets with Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the APEC meeting in Vietnam, as the White House has indicated is a possibility, and solidifies his intention to establish a friendly, working relationship with Russia, then the British Empire division of the world through the geopolitical fraud of a “clash of civilizations” between East and West can be put to rest, hopefully forever. The increasingly transparent fraud of Robert Mueller’s attempted “Russiagate” coup against Trump can be further exposed and crushed.

Already Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose ruling coalition swept the Lower House elections on Sunday with a two-thirds “supermajority,” said that he now has the mandate to proceed with a “strong foreign policy,” specifying in particular his intention to meet with Putin, Xi Jinping and Trump in the coming days. Abe and Putin have forged a strong relationship already, based on achieving a peace treaty (from World War II!) through joint development of contested territory and Japan’s full engagement in the development in Russia’s great undeveloped Far East.

In Southeast Asia, the Singapore Defense Minister announced after the ASEAN Ministerial meeting in Manila that the ten ASEAN nations and China are preparing joint naval exercises for next year in the South China Sea — another demonstration that the win-win approach is transforming history.

We now have the potential for the United States to transform itself, for U.S. science and industry to once again become engaged in nation building around the world, as part of the Belt and Road. We have the potential for China and Japan to put their own areas of expertise — and their massive U.S. debt holding — into productive investment within the U.S., helping to reverse the systemic decline in U.S. productive growth over the past 50 years. For that to happen, we must both join the New Silk Road, and replace the bankrupt Wall Street too-big-to-fail banks with Hamiltonian financial institutions capable of directing credit into building a future for our nation and for Mankind.

This is what Helga Zepp-LaRouche refers to as the common aims of Mankind, and what Xi Jinping calls “win-win,” and a “community of nations with a shared future.” Helga participated in a conference today in France co-sponsored by the Schiller Institute, aimed at building that shared future, which she briefly described as a powerful but polarizing event, making many very happy and others very upset.
