The real target of the US assassination of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani – China
- The US has been trying to provoke China into a military conflict since 2013 through the South China Sea, Taiwan, North Korea, Xinjiang and recently Hong Kong
- China will not be able to avoid being dragged into a war over Soleimani’s assassination

Illustration: Craig StephensThe assassination of Iranian major-general Qassem Soleimani by the United States may be explained by US President Donald Trump’s administration as a retaliation against and deterrence of Iranian aggression but, in reality, it may actually be a strategic provocation against China. To understand why this is the case and see how this particular action is merely one piece of a larger puzzle, one must take into account all of America’s foreign policy actions.Since the end of World War II, US foreign policy has been obsessed with how to maintain the nation’s superpower status. It maintains strong alliances like Nato and a military presence in virtually all corners of the planet as part of that strategy.
Over the years, influential policymakers such as Zbigniew Brzezinski have argued that the US must go further to ensure supremacy. For some, this includes designating Iran, Russia and China as enemies because the US doesn’t have total control over these countries, and stirring up Islamic extremism because all three of these countries have large Muslim populations that can be turned into terrorists against their own countries.
By creating Islamic extremism in these territories, the home-grown Muslim terrorists could then battle these foreign governments on behalf of the US, thus reducing the need to sacrifice American soldiers.As a result, such proxy wars have become a permanent fixture on the world stage. The invasion of Iraq, the civil war in Syria, the bombing of Libya and many other actions have created extremist groups such as Islamic State that are direct threats to Iran, Russia and even China.

The US invasion of Iraq set off a series of events that plunged the region into conflict and can be tied to the rise of extremist groups such as Islamic State.

Uygur separatists proceeded to terrorise parts of Western China with bombings, stabbings and other violent means which have been widely reported by Western news agencies such as the BBC.The Chinese government has responded with an internment camp for 1 million Uygurs to try to stem the violence and to prevent a civil war like in Syria from breaking out. But such moves have been met predictably with threats and hostility from the US, which would much rather see conflict in China.
Explainer: Why Xinjiang is so important to ChinaThe US has made it publicly clear that it regards China as a “strategic competitor”, which is a polite label for enemy. The US has been actively trying to provoke China into a military confrontation since 2013 under the Obama administration by suddenly turning the South China and East China seas into hotspots after decades of peace in the region.

Since Chinese President Xi Jinping has not taken the bait on that front, the Trump administration has tried to bait China by stirring up more trouble using Taiwan, North Korea and Xinjiang. US actions related to Hong Kong are consistent with this strategy.Finally, the US-China trade deal notwithstanding, the US has been openly discriminating against Chinese across its economy. From blocking Chinese investments in US companies and restricting American hi-tech suppliers from doing business with Chinese companies such as Huawei, to accusing Chinese students and scientists of being spies, the US has made it no secret that China is its top target.
