Lin Zexu honored in Xi's China.
NY Times: How the 19th-Century Opium War Shapes Xi’s Trade Clash With Trump
China’s leader draws on lessons from Lin Zexu, a Qing official whose defiance of Britain led to China’s humiliating defeat but made him a national hero.
Rebuttal by
- In various articles, books and my epic Rumble Video Series: "The Rise and Fall of the New World Order Cabal," I've written / spoken about the British-Jewish Opium Wars of the 19th Century. How delightful to see the Q York Times offer up this "teachable moment" by objectively mentioning these rarely mentioned "Opium Wars." From the article:
- "Xi Jinping kept a poem on his desk that helps explain why he has fought back fiercely against President Trump in their trade war. The poem, a patriotic ode to the sanctity of national interest, was written by Lin Zexu, an imperial commissioner from Fujian, the same coastal province, who oversaw China’s foreign commerce in the early 19th century. He is celebrated today in Chinese textbooks and speeches by Mr. Xi as a national hero for standing up to Britain, the superpower of the day, in a confrontation over trade.
- .
- "Zexu is best known in China for confiscating and then destroying foreign opium worth hundreds of millions of dollars at current prices in trenches dug on the bank of the Pearl River at Humen near Guangzhou. Foreigners who witnessed the destruction, Lin informed the emperor, “feel heartily ashamed.”
- .
- That confrontation, triggered by Lin’s efforts to halt opium smuggling, ended in disaster for China — a crushing military defeat that gave Britain control of Hong Kong and, in China’s telling, started a “century of humiliation,” a shameful stain whose removal President Xi has set as one of his most important goals."

- Nice job, Q York Times! Here's the shameful "in a nutshell" recap of both of those wars.

- 1839-1842: The First Opium War
- The First Opium War was fought between the United Kingdom and the Qing dynasty of China, mainly over the trade in opium. The privately owned British East India Company had been growing opium in India and smuggling it into China illegally. The influx of narcotics reversed the trade surplus which China had enjoyed while creating millions of opium addicts. Understandably, Chinese officials were not pleased about the British India-China opium trade.
- .
- In 1839, the Emperor instructed viceroy Lin Zexu to stop the trade. To that end, Lin wrote a letter to 20-year-old British Queen Victoria appealing to her moral responsibility to stop the opium trade. Little did the viceroy know that by that time, Queen Victoria was already just a figurehead. It was the Rothschild banking dynasty and its parliamentarians which, for the most part, ruled Britannia, not the Queen. There was no response to the letter.
- .
- Finally, Lin resorted to force by confiscating all supplies and ordering a blockade of foreign ships and confiscation of their cargoes of opium. The British Rothschild government responded by dispatching its sophisticated heavy gunboats to defeat those of the Chinese. The Chinese were forced to sign the Treaty of Nanking in 1842 --- which granted treaty ports to foreign merchants, imposed reparations, and ceded Hong Kong Island to the British Empire. As a result of that unjust war, by the 1840s, the Jewish Sassoon Family (known as “the Rothschilds of the East) came to dominate the opium trade between India and China. Branching out from Bombay, the drug smuggling criminals established operations in some of the Chinese port cities which the British now controlled --- Shanghai, Hong Kong and Canton. In time, Shanghai would become notorious for its opium use, prostitution and other vices.
Surprisingly (or actually, NOT surprisingly), the images and captions below (from a Chinese museum exhibit) were featured in the objective Times article.

1856- 1860: The Second Opium War.Resentment over the humiliating Treaty of Nanjing and continued concern over the hated opium trade that was, by this time, completely dominated by the Sassoons, caused the Chinese to again rise up against British (Rothschild) imperialism. Again, the British (this time joined by Rothschild France) -- would be victorious. The respective American presidential administrations of Rothschild-connected Democrat Presidents Franklin Pierce and then James Buchanan -- in service to European-based bosses -- actually aided the British in the Battle of the Barrier Forts (1856) and the Battle of Taku Forts (1859). That notorious pair of cowardly American traitors also aided and abetted the planned splitting of the American Union which resulted in the US Civil War of 1861-1865 – a national tragedy also engineered by the Rothschild Cabal..This 2nd Opium War resulted in the Treaty of Tientsin, which was even more unjust and humiliating than the previous treaty. The terms:* Imposed reparations upon China for the expenses of the recent war.* Ten more ports were forced open to European control* The opium trade was legalized* China was forced to admit foreign traders and missionaries (intelligence operatives).Both in the short term and in the long run, these events were very bad for once prosperous China; but very good for the drug-dealing Sassoons and the money-lending / stock-owning Rothschilds. The western influence over China would, in later years, be activated in order to play China against Japan, after Japan would outlive its own usefulness to the Cabal.

That's some real history right there. Not new to many among the ANYT / Mike King readership -- but certainly new to many Times-reading normies hearing about the Opium Wars for the first time. Gotta love the new and improved Q York Times!
The Jewish Sassoons of India (2nd image from left) became the Sassoons of England. They and the Rothschilds were the driving force behind the subjugation and drugging of China enforced by the “Opium Wars" and thr subsequent humiliating treaties.

Boobus Americanus 1: I read in the New York Times today that Britain imposed the opium trade on China during the 19th Century, and that's how they got Hong Kong. China remembers that as a historical humiliation.
.
Boobus Americanus 2: Interesting. I didn't know that. -St. Sugar: Ya learn a lot from reading the new and improved Q York Times, Boobuss.
.
Editor: The Times has been inserting these little known historical truth gems here and there for a few years now.
