17th G20 Heads of State and Government Summit
15-16 November 2022, Bali, Indonesia
Ahead of the G20 summit at Bali, Xi Jinping warned of war. He said that he had asked the Chinese military to make preparation for war.
Michael Rubin has pointed out in Washington Examiner that Beijing will make the decision about whether there will be a war over Taiwan. Secondly, Rubin says that such a war will not limit itself to Taiwan. It may draw Japan, Vietnam, USA and Singapore into the conflict.

President Xi Jinping has said that the situation in Asia is unstable and a war is going to take place. Our view is that China will decide when and where the war will start. It may start in Taiwan or at Indo-Tibetan border. So, both have to be ready for their own defense.
“This Ukraine crisis that we’re in right now, this is just the warmup,” Navy Adm. Charles Richard, commander of U.S. Strategic Command, said at a conference last week. “The big one is coming. And it isn’t going to be very long before we’re going to get tested in ways that we haven’t been tested [in] a long time.”
Michael Rubin has warned in Washington Examiner: “If the economic ramifications of Russia’s Ukraine invasion were a gust of wind, China’s attack on Taiwan will unleash a hurricane.”
EXAMINATION of RELATIVE STRENGTH of the DEMOCRATIC COUNTRIES vs the TOTALITARIAN REGIMES in the INDO-PACIFIC AREA: With wokes in control of many facets of US policies, does the USA have the self-confidence to help democratic countries effectively, if China should mount a full-fledged attack?
First, within USA, prominent Centers like Harvard University are building a narrative of saying to the Americans that America has been so immoral that America-like democracies may not be worth defending.
Secondly using dishonest academic methods with data, wokes of Indian origin have been brought together at Harvard to denigrate the greatest democracy of the world in India today. This will create a narrative, which will facilitate decision-makers at White House to easily decide that democracy in India is not worth defending, if it is attacked by China-Pak axis.
Professor Salvatore Babones pointed out that having a highly successful democracy in India, a poor country of 1350 million, is an exceptional achievement, in which the entire democratic world can take pride. His critical study of the three indexes, which rank democratic countries, shows that the V-Dem, Freedom House and Democracy Index is compiled by the Economic Intelligence Unit (i.e. the research division) of the Economist Group have serious issues in the data about India, which they use.
Professor Babones calls it, at worst, a case of academic incompetence. We feel that a continuous negative evaluation of the only thriving democracy between Israel and South Korea is due to academic dishonesty, which uses the rankings to satisfy their IslamoLeftist agenda.
Thirdly, Xi Jinping sent China’s foreign Minister for a private visit to Henry Kissinger in USA. The reports were that Kissinger advised China to remove irritants and to again let USA feel that China was a friend.
On 11th November, Zhao Lijian, China’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson said that US should work with China for putting relations back on track after confirming that Xi Jinping will meet Joe Biden at Bali on 14th November 2022 at Bali, before the G-20 summit of 15-16 November.
President Biden had already decided to give a grant of $450 million to strengthen F-16 fleet of Pakistan under the false pretext of helping Pakistan fight terrorists. Every one knows that it helps Pak-China axis against India and Taiwan.

Fourthly, Australia is an important part of the democratic world of the Indo-Pacific area. But the policies of the Conservative and the Labor Parties in Australia have been quite different. The Labor party has been for a close relationship with China and wants to integrate Australian and Chinese economies. The Conservatives were wary of the policies of the United Front of China for interference in the internal politics of Australia and New Zealand.
The 2022 Australian federal election was held on Saturday 21 May 2022. The conservative leader and the incumbent Prime Minister Scott Morrison was defeated by the opposition, the Labor Party, led by Anthony Albanese. The Australian Labor Party achieved a majority government for the first time since 2007. Albanese was sworn in as Prime Minister on 23 May 2022. At Bali, Albanese is looking forward to a meeting with President Xi Jinping of China.
Today, the democratic world is in a state of total disarray and every country has to manage on its own to face the onslaught of totalitarian regimes. The advantage of a strong democratic country USA is now not dependably available to any democratic country in difficulty.
On the other hand, China-Russia-Iran have been able to form a strong axis with Pakistan and North Korea, as useful subsidiary members of the axis.
The major area of attack by the totalitarian axis will be Taiwan, India and other smaller countries in East Asia. Hence the leadership of the democratic countries of the Indo-Pacific region must come together at Bali and form a strategy for mutual support for survival and growth.
