India - May I come in? It's cold outside

 Modi made his choice, to distant India from Russia, to hug smelly Trump. Modi has his own priorities. The Americans were more anti China than Russia, worse, Putin is too close to Xi. The way to go forward is to sign up with the Americans. India has very serious historical baggage with China. The land that Britain stole from China and is India hugging closely to its chest, cannot be returned to China. No way, whatever things that landed up in India's hand, by India's own belief, legally or illegally, remains with India. With this mindset, India knows that China will forever be its enemy number one. China will want to take back its land one day. And that day must come, sooner or later. India will not give way and China cannot give way either. China's position is about national pride and dignity, that not an inch of its land would be snatched away from the Motherland by force. Indian mentality, whatever is in India's pocket belongs to India, no compromise, just like any foreign investments will eventually belong to India. This is the historical deadlock that would lead to war one day.

Modi knows this and is very comfortable to be on the side of the Americans, to depend on America as India's protector to keep its stolen goods. It went on well for a while and America too was very happy with India, carrying India up on a high pedestal. India was elated and grew in confidence. With mighty America behind its back, and thinking that strategically India is indispensable to the Americans, arrogance started to creep into the heads of Indian politicians. They can do anything they want. They have the Americans by the balls, and the Chinese too.

India is a superpower, the balancer, the king maker. India holds all the cards, calls the shot, China can be pushed around, America will just have to go along to please India. Jaishanker even took liberty to lecture the Americans and the Europeans about India's national interests that prevailed everything. India would decide and act on what was best for India. America and Europe just had to take it or leave it. India would act independently, free from pressure of the Americans, be friends with whoever it wants, buy oil, weapons from whoever it wants. India is sitting in the main table with the superpowers on its own terms. India will be a pillar in geopolitics, will not be bullied by any superpower.

 The Indian arrogance and audacity were just too much for the Americans. Trump the megalomaniac would not allow it. Who is India? The opportunity came when India embarrassed itself in Operation Sindoor. If India could be whipped by little Pakistan, how could India be a useful partner against China? Trump decided there and then to kick India into the wilderness. No more niceties for India. India is out in the cold. Trump slammed and insulted India over and over again, ignoring India, cold shouldering India and humiliating India without holding back anything. India tried feverishly by sending its articulate and clever Jaishanker and many military leaders to wait at the door in Washington for a meeting with Trump. If Trump did not care two hoots who is Modi, who is Jaishanker? Trump has no time for him, just like Trump had not time for Prabowo.

Henceforth, India is out in the cold, not invited to anything, just an outsider. India is in a dilemma. It cannot be closed to China for obvious historical and strategic reasons. Putin no longer trust Modi. BRICS does not want India. India once thought it was a key player in BRICS but received a rude awakening that it is a nobody in BRICS, seen more as a traitor, a dangerous member that is working for the Americans to undermine the interests of BRICS and its members. The 'I' in BRICS is taking a different shade, being replaced by Iran. China, Russia and Iran are the new power to be reckoned with under a new strategic and military alliance to reshape BRICS and the world,...without India.

Never has India been so alone, so left out. All its neighbours are now very closed with China. India used to dig at China for having no friends. Now India is really is a situation where it has no friends. Not its immediate neighbours. India even betrayed Russia and Iran by visiting Ukraine and Israel, the enemies of Russia and Iran. Of course no one in BRICS or SCO regard India as a friend, as a trusted and reliable partner. Even Japan is pissed with India after the high speed train debacle.

India is now muted, total silence. No one wants to talk to India, No one has time for India. Even Netanyahu has no time for India despite Modi's visit to curry his favour. No need to talk about Trump and his feelings for Modi.

May I come in? Anyone there? Please let me in, it is cold and lonely out here. Try little India... the only place that still have high regards for India and trusting India with unbelieveable fetish confidence, like under an Indian spell.

India is all sound and noise without substance. Modi and Jaishankar can talk all they want, thinking they are very clever. But words without real power behind them, they are nothing. Trump may be a scumbag, but he carries real weight even when he talked cock, because American power is behind him. With Trump taking the lead to ignore India, India has no cards to play and fully exposed...naked with nothing worthy to offer or respect... no money, no technology, nothing to offer to the world except noise and bragging and acting important. Only the daft in Little India will be mesmerised by Indian rope trick. Modi forgot that he can only be important if Trump or Putin allows him to be so. It is like the proverbial mouse roaring and thumping its chest while sitting on the head of a lion. Trump has thrown Modi under the bus. Period.

The decadent western system is beyond redemption

Never try to correct your enemy when it is making mistakes. The decadent western system is beyond redemption, so let it be. China has no necessity to try to convert them to its communist ideology with democratic characteristics or whatever, as China has already moved forward from the democracy versus communism hubris. And showing the world who is better.

Strangely enough, even foreigners living in China and interacting with the Chinese people themselves are saying that the Chinese populace does not want the kind of democracy existing in the USA. That speaks volumes about how the Chinese view the democratic system of the USA. Honestly, with that in mind, do we honestly think a regime change is feasible inside China or just a figment of imagination of some delusional mind. I do not think they will even want to give regime change in China a try again after failing so many times before. Oh, they did try that in Hong Kong and Xinjiang recently anyway.

The West will never admit that China's communist system with democratic characteristics works better. What is the point of having elections to choose leaders every four years, when they are doing nothing to improve lives and just caring for the top 1% and helping them to corner all the wealth of the country. Calling an oligarchy as a democracy is the biggest lie and pulling wool over those 'dull of mind'. They are so happy with their vote, when they realistically could do nothing better with it. But the brainwashing has been so successful that changing it is a lost cause.

The MIC and generals are in cahoot for very expensive wars. Just throw everything away and reorder for more...meaning more money to line their pockets

Juvenile Trump is still trying to sell his snake oil, boasting that USA will bomb Iran again if it misbehaves. Why continue to make the same threat, pulling back with extensions, making more threats and doing nothing to back up his ultimatums? Is it because of the shortage of bombs now and trying to make up using the little time afforded? How fast can the military industrial complex replenish those bombs already expended? It took years for the USA to stock them up, and it took a couple of days for the stockpile to be depleted. The USA will never admit it, but others know how the system works.

Iran does not have to misbehave in any way. Iran did not misbehave in the first place by starting the war. It is the USA and Israel that misbehaved and the world can see that clearly. Iran just has to keep the tension in the Middle East from dying out or boiling over, and the USA, Gulf countries and the rest of the world will start crying for help in another month or two. How long can the USA continue to hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage. Six months or a year?

Perhaps Trump thinks that like Afghanistan, twenty years is not too long to follow. He only has a little more than two years to gloat by November, if he can last that long. Trump can continue with his fake assassination make belief to prop up his support from his MAGA base. But crying wolf too many times with false flag assassinations may end up being real eventually when the wolf really attacks.

What an 18 year old girl is doing...quantum computing logics

 

24 min of what a 18 year old girl was doing at the highest level of computer engineering in the most prestigious institutions and among the brightest brains. I have practically no knowledge of quantum physics and could barely understand anything she was saying and completely blown away by the formula she wrote on the white board. Watching this clip is a humbling experience and a better understanding of what is talent. Our talent scouts are hunting at the wrong places for funny talents.

Many 18 year old are likely to be doing their first undergraduate study in college, some kicking footballs, some trying to make the best char kway teow, fried rice or prawn noodle after graduating with a degree or diploma.

Ewin Tang, at 18, was standing in front of professors and scientists, the best in their fields, explaining and defending her theory and how her paper debunked an existing authoritative quantum theory and made its logic obsolete. Her paper explained how a normal computer can also perform the task like a quantum computer and more.

Not everyone is made equal. People may be blessed with different talents. Ewin Tang is gifted with a talent of another world that humbles even professors.

China selling quality goods and services for the price of dirt

 The scam of branded goods has been completely destroyed by China and people are now smarter, saving a lot of money from not buying branded goods at ransom prices. The people of the world can now afford to buy and use all the good products and services they so desired at a fraction of the prices they used to pay to western brands. China will make the same products, with the same material and selling to the consumers for a song. And if the customers want a brand stitched on, China can also do it with an additional $10. After all, all the branded products are made in China by skilled Chinese artisans, cheaper but not cheap labour. The prices charged by the brand owners were mostly the jacked up prices for obscene profits. 

China has now moved one step ahead, since labour cost is rising, China is moving into robotics. The whole production line can be manned by cheaper robots that worked 24/7 with no extra pay, no time off for lunch break or sick leave, no labour union problems. Just pure productivity and efficiency. China can go on innovating and producing goods and services at very affordable prices. Can you imagine how much a good Chinese EV will be in the market if left to the American and western brands? What Tesla is charging is a good example of the value for money versus Chinese EVs. Soon Tesla too will be priced out of the market, unable to compete in quality, design, technology and price.

China did not capitalise on the quality of its products and services by charging high prices like the Americans and the West. China prices its goods and services for the masses in the whole world. The average consumer in the world is now faced with ample choices of good products and services at very affordable prices which they could not afford if made in the West. 

China is selling its products and services to the whole world and did not demand to be paid in dollars and high prices. China is literally asking countries to pay with dirt. Just give China dirt in exchange for quality high tech products and services. And if countries did not have the capacity and technology to deliver the dirt, China will bring in the equipment to transport the dirt and ship them to China, without overcharging. No money never mind, just dirt will do.

For countries that are able and want to add value to their dirt, China can assist by selling them the technology and equipment as well. China is in a way helping the rest of the world to be richer by making things affordable, give them real value for paying less.

Can you imagine what the world of the average and less developed people be like without the abundance of good quality goods and services from China, clothes costing a few dollars a piece, mobile phones at less than a hundred bucks, EVs for less than US$10k, and efficient infrastructure, highways, high speed trains, ports etc etc to be had by trading their dirt? Many countries are limited by their size, small population, educational and technology level, infrastructure... to make high tech stuffs they need. And China is there to offer them whatever they need, for the price of a song, or some dirt...with no strings attached. The Americans wanted to sell AI only to those with deep pockets. China is offering AI to the man on the street. The average guy have all the AIs they need for free. The Americans cannot stop China from pushing out AI applications for the world cheaply.

Some silly countries still want to buy American and western goods and willing to pay ripoff prices for lower quality goods. It is ok if they have a lot of easy money.
