The Context

⭕ This is the design I created for The Red Team Analysis Society article [🇫🇷 🇬🇧] titled :

“China, Serbia, AI, and the Pincer Movement on Europe”

The ties between China and Serbia are deeper and more subtle than one might think. Very recently, almost unsuspectedly, China continues its rapprochement with Nations hostile to NATO, including those born from the Kosovar conflict, such as Serbia. And this, to the point of creating a new digital silk road between the Eagle Nation and the Dragon Empire.

The Design

Subtly, the Serbian Flag incorporates elements of the Chinese Empire until the two nations create a new hybrid creature : The heads of the Serbian Byzantine Double-Headed Eagle transform into two heads of Dragons which seem to emerge from the shield, symbolizing the Chinese rise to gain a foothold on the European continent and to form new alliances. Just like the original coat of arms, one of the heads looks towards the Heavenly Kingdom while the other looks towards the Earthly Kingdom. In this, the Serbian cosmogony matches perfectly the Chinese view of the dual Kingdom.

The four heraldic firesteels next to the central cross were originally standing for the letter “B” for Byzantine Empire. Now they are transformed into four times the Chinese calligraphic symbol “中” (zhōng) meaning the Earth and the Middle Empire…an Old Empire merges with a New Empire. And China intends to use Serbian land space as well to progress in its new Silk Road…Is this also an allusion to the fact that China intends to encircle the ancient European Christian lands?

The claws of the Eagle are replaced by the claws of the Dragon, the Fleurs de Lis have been replaced by the Chinese Stars and the Cross of the Byzantine Empire at the top of the Crown has been replaced by the Star: will the new dynasties of the East replace the ancient dynasties of the West?

The white pearls of the Serbian Crown now alternate with black pearls, evoking a game of Go: a game of long-term strategy in which the Chinese are masters… Will Serbia only be a pawn in their game or a trusted partner in a bipartisan conquest? Or in revenge?

A revenge on NATO and on Europe for two old Empires which have not said their last word…

Summary of the Topic

🔻 Sources proving Serbia’s logistical and ideological strengthening bonds with China.

🔻 Description of the Chinese “New Silk Road” project.

🔻 Convergence of Sino-Serbian struggles against NATO following the Kosovo conflict.

🔻 Analysis of the mutual strategic development and strengthening of Sino-Serbian AI.

The Context

⭕ This is the design I created for The Red Team Analysis Society article [🇫🇷 🇬🇧] titled :

“China’s Perception of U.S. International Politics”

While China’s role at the global level rises at increasingly ramified levels through unsuspected axes, its zones of influence are becoming more and more major within an explosive geopolitical situation. But what do we really know about the perception of the world and geopolitics from a Chinese point of view?

And, above all, what is their own cultural vision of their main antagonist on the international scene : the United States?

Between an ancient empire and a young continent, is it possible to escape bipolar manichaeism and prejudices by putting oneself in the Other’s place?

The Other who has his own culture, his own history and his own philosophy which will determine the way he will perceive the world and exercise his international policy. But, also, which will determine the way he will attempt to “translate” the Other’s culture into an intelligible representation for their own culture.

The Design

Through the eyes of a Chinese, the American Banner transforms into a concept familiar to the Middle Kingdom : it’s all Circles and Cycles. Projecting their own perception of the Earthly Empire, as well as the Celestial Empire, Chinese do not see the USA as next to them, but around them…and very far from the center of the Empire, as the young barbarians they are.

The Chinese will quickly transform the Stars and Stripes into Stars and Circles. Because, being the Center of the most enlightened Civilization, the Fifty Stars of the American “juxtaposed” States transform harmoniously into the Chinese Five Stars representing the Four Elements, plus the Center : the seat of Imperial power, from where everything is built and radiates harmoniously.

Beyond the blue of the sea, the stripes of the Thirteen American Colonies revolve and gyrate around this Center ; like so many rice fields, rivers and provinces which all depend on the central hub to rotate in earthly harmony. As a reflection of celestial harmony. As a reflection of the march of the cosmos…

The American being only a small part of it, in a distant, very distant, periphery…

Gently. Slowly. Inexorably. The Imperial Red of Good Fortune extends across the blue of the rivers, the sea and the oceans to ensure the Eternal Order… unless it is the Celestial Blue which converts the American Red?…

How to know ? Because, behind the smile of the Buddhas and Chinese Sages, there are no pithy responses or thunderous contrasting declarations, full of sharp angles and square evidences…

There are only Circles.

Summary of the Topic

🔻 Key approach in strategy and international relations’ analysis.

🔻 Description of China’s perception of the international order.

🔻 Analytical Methodology about Perceptions and their relativity depending of one’s culture or context.

🔻 Both Traditional China and Communist China approaches of the « Circle » vision.
