So China’s basic response is:

If the United States were still confident in its own competitiveness, it would not need to turn every Chinese civilian project into a national security emergency.

A port becomes a threat.
A railway becomes a threat.
A telecom network becomes a threat.
Even an undersea cable becomes a weapon.

China builds infrastructure.
Washington builds panic around it.

America no longer asks whether a Chinese project works.
It asks how quickly it can be killed before the world notices it works better.

When an empire can no longer lead, it tries to cripple those who can.

The idea of “securing borders” is very absurd when you decide to really think about it.

For one, national borders are not natural facts of the world. So, insisting that everyone must stay on their side of a fence is basically saying anyone who happened to be on a particular side of a border when it was put up must just stay there, as if they chose to be there in the first place.

So, now a person’s lifetime economic opportunities are dictated entirely by the GPS coordinates of where their mother gave birth and must be determined by this birthright lottery.

It’s almost as if some regimes want to keep other people inside some borders, barrel bomb them physically and economically, while insisting that they stay where they are.

Just look at how Europe has helped the United States destroy the Middle East with bombings and invasions since 2001, and are now crying foul that the people whose countries they are destroying are fleeing those countries. They’re determined to use “the law” to contain the consequences of their actions in the region they continue destroy.

Of course, you don’t see the same border strictness on the movement of capital.
Money, trade, investments, corporate assets, etc. are expected to flow effortlessly across borders to seek the highest returns and lowest taxes. However, the people cannot follow them.

There’s also the idea of “illegal” and “legal” immigration, which, at its core is another manifestation of the birthright theory saying people must *earn* the right to move to where the conditions are better, while others can just be born there.

Again, when you strip away the legal language, the status of being an “illegal immigrant” is based on where someone was born relative to where they currently stand.

Political philosopher Joseph Carens argued that modern citizenship in wealthy countries functions like old European feudal privilege, where your life chances and class were determined at birth by whether you were born a noble or a peasant.

Today, Europeans are insisting that your life chances must be determined at birth by which side of an international border you were born on.

Carens argues that this criminalising of movement under modern conditions is like punishing peasants for trying to leave a feudal manor.

Following this logic, if you are born in a wealthy, peaceful nation, you hold a high-value identity document that grants you automatic access to safety and infrastructure and you are said to be “documented”.

If, on the other hand, you are born in a war-torn or economically devastated country, you are legally expected to accept those conditions, unless you can “earn” a way out through hyper-selective legal channels and become a “documented immigrant”.

Similarly, the common phrase “they should come here legally” assumes that a reasonable legal pathway exists for everyone. In reality, for millions of people fleeing violence or extreme poverty, no such legal pathway exists at all. The law is designed specifically to keep them out, making “illegal” entry the only entry.

People like the ones in the video below agree on “securing borders” to shift the focus from a world where life outcomes are dictated by birth coordinates to an individual crime of “they broke the law”, which transforms what is essentially a pursuit of better life conditions into a law-and-order problem, making it easier to justify hoarding privilege.
