In 2022, it would be the 'Beyond' portion of King's sermon that might most interest the Chinese trying to get the U.S. to back off its belligerent attitude and vitriolic accusations of China.
What American idol King said about his nation's wider world military crimes in preserving its hegemony could, if revealed, cause a good deal of embarrassment and consternation in Washington and perhaps a willingness to quiet down its attacks on China.
In his sermon King mentions US attacks in various countries:
"During the past ten years, we have seen emerge a pattern of suppression which has now justified the presence of U.S. military advisors in Venezuela. This need to maintain social stability for our investments accounts for the counterrevolutionary action of American forces in Guatemala. It tells why American helicopters are being used against guerrillas in Cambodia and why American napalm and Green Beret forces have already been active against rebels in Peru"concerned about Thailand, Mozambique and South Africa."
King saw the reason for wars was to maintain unjust predatory investments.
"Look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the country. This is a role our nation has taken, " refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that comes from the immense profits of overseas investments. This is not just. It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just."
King had warned,
"adventures like Vietnam continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube."
