Rich and blessed Chinese and the Chinese diaspora should contribute to the great revival of the Chinese Civilisation

 

HONG KONG: Pro-democracy Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai will on Wednesday (Nov 20) take the stand in his collusion trial, testifying in court for the first time despite five previous trials in almost four years.

Lai's case is one of the most prominent prosecutions under the national security law imposed by Beijing in 2020, with Western countries and rights groups demanding his release.  CNA

 

Blessed in life with aplenty of wealth, why would Jimmy Lai not use his good fortune to do something more glorious, more meaningful and beneficial to his country and people? Does he think that with only money in his head and nothing else, he can run wild to undermine a country's national interest and the well being of his country men? Does he really believe in the fake American democracy that is anything but anti China and anti Chinese? Does he know or remember the sorrows, pain and tragedies the westerners committed against China and the Chinese people?

What had happened to China was in a big way caused by the invasion and plunder of the westerners. The century of humiliation was an era of oppression, discrimination and condemnation by the West against the Chinese Civilisation, coupled with continuous demonisation and suppression of the Chinese people and Civilisation as a condemned race, useless, no talent, good for nothing scum of the world.

The China today did not happen so easily but had to scrap and crawl from the abyss of human history, to regain its pride and dignity as a respectable people, a Civilisation that is not trash as painted and willed by the West. It is not a mean task, but very arduous, painful and extremely difficult for anyone, any govt to do so. No one, especially the West, would ever believe that China can be what it is today, an advanced nation with the best scientific, engineering and technology talents, to be in the fore front of innovation and creation to benefit the Chinese people and the world.

Rich people like Jimmy Lai and many other Chinese in China and the diaspora should make use of their blessing to promote and assist the revival of the Chinese nation and Civilisation to be the best it could be, and not to be traitors or running dogs of the West, to work with the white savages to bring down the good work of the Chinese Communist Party and the good men and women in Zhongnanhai. 

There were many mistakes done in the early and very difficult years of building an extremely poor and bankrupt nation from scratch. Chinese leaders then were not that fortunate to have received the best education and knowledge to rebuild the country. It was trial and error, 摸水过河, and no one was wiser. But the mission and objective of the first generation of revolutionary leaders were to rebuild China as quickly as possible. Without the availability of talented scientists, engineers and technocrats, the task was enormous and daunting. Blaming the failures or mistakes of the first generation leaders was inappropriate and unfair. Who was so smart and clever to do it right from the start without the resources, funding and knowledge to do the job? Other than a few returned scholars from the West, the pioneering leaders of China were mostly peasants and farmers with little education.

Blessed rich Chinese in China and overseas must use their blessing and wealth to further the revival of the Chinese nation and Civilisation instead of being intoxicated by the lies and misinformation and mischiefs of the West to undermine the progress of China. From now onwards, with the availability and abundance of well educated leaders in science, engineering and technology, China will make lesser mistakes and can only move ahead faster to better the life of its people. 

The new Great Leap Forward is happening now and is unlike the days of ignorance and limited knowledge and knowhow. China's rise and growth to be an advanced and modern and rich technological and scientific nation state will be unstoppable and will progress much more smoothly and rapidly than before.

All Chinese everywhere must contribute to this renaissance of the Chinese Civilisation, not to be a spoil sport or a spanner in the works, to spoil the good work being done in the last few decades. The Chinese people have never had a better way of life, living standards in the last two centuries. Thanks to the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party to bring about this great beneficial change to the Chinese people and the Chinese Civilisation.

PS. Would rich Chinese like Jimmy Lai think they can do a better job than the CPC leaders to build a better China than what it is today? Or would they think the Americans and the West would allow China to be better than them, to be the most advanced and richest country in the world?

What has become of public housing for the average Singaporeans

 Good morning All

Just to add:

Too many times we are been assured that don't worry your flats won't be devalued only up Valued.

They had what's previously SERs aka Selective Estaes Resettlements.

A few selected ones were relocated to their brand new 99 leasehold flats with even some compensations.

Some you be surprised are lucky even had very good payouts in lieu of these Resettlements

So Singaporeans believed that in time to come as their estates grow older and older that their SERs be coming.

Also those flats in the Prime and even Popular Estates are been sold in the open markets by the hundreds of thousands or even at above the million mark.

Where they are been purchased at that time or long ago at a pittance.

So when the HDB were to build any new flats in these estates, they cannot simply sell to the new buyers at their price of their actual costs and also maybe some profits.

They could sell at maybe at our time in the 60s and 70s pricing of even below a one hundred thousand or even less.

This would upset those owners who are now selling at the open market a few hundred thousands nearly a million.

Also those daft daft Ones who thought nothing of these asking prices and also agreed Ed to buy them.

Thinking that they also in time to come shall also made their damn.profits.

So the HDB have no choice as they are the ones in the first place had slaughter the old owners exorbitant prices.

Now the new flats that they build and squeeze in all these estates have to be priced also at the resale marker pricing.

The old owners happy happy that their units are still profitable but the new BTO buyers have to pay a limb and arse to purchase their first homes.

It's a vicious circle unless Ahem something drastic really happen and all these started crumbling down.

Now back to the Papies Scholars Bright Bright idea and scheme.

They are caught in a bind as too many of their Past Big mouths Leaders who just wanted to win the voters in any elections promised SERs

So one fine day, they have to get a newbie Leader or Minister to wake you all up with their pouring of the cold water that there is no such scheme as SERs now.

Anyway, aha hear me out. Now we have VERs.

Ahem Voluntary Estates Resettlements.

Your old Estates will be also selected for Resettlements as too old also hard maintenance and also last time many many had low ratio of real wasted occupationcy.

Too low storeys blocks on prime land.

Also, poor souls blocks too far from each other that your immediate neighbour cannot borrow the salt and vinegar and eggs by just passing through the windows to windows.

Now we planned so social living harmony for you all that you all staying in close intimate proximity as close neighbours that no need to purposely have to go and buy the emergency groceries downstairs.

Okay back to our ingenious VERs scheme.

Now when you are been selected for VERs, don't worry you be still having a new nice flat as according to what you are staying now in all requirements and specifications.

But see here hoh!, if your old flat lease is already too run out ah, like tooth decay you have to patch up right?

So now we shall allocated a new flat for you. But, but hear me out you have to TOP up the lease of your balance old one if you still wants to have a 99 year leasehold.

Aiya, don't worry lah only a few hundred thousands lah depending in what's you selected.

Next time you could even sell at the open market a million plus what!

So this is the NEW scheme of VERs my fellow Singaporeans.

Enjoy and Cheers

Biden's madness to allow strikes deep into Russia is a good thing?

 

BIRMINGHAM: In a surprise decision on Sunday (Nov 17), the United States reversed course on a long-standing policy decision: Ukraine now has permission to use US-supplied long-range missiles for strikes deep inside Russian territory. But after 1,000 days of war, is this too little too late?

The move comes about two months before Donald Trump will re-enter the White House. If President Joe Biden’s gamble pays off, he will have done Ukraine a last favour in the final days of his presidency.... CNA

The author of this article commented that this dangerous gamble could pay off with these remarks below...

Commentary: Biden makes a huge gamble by allowing Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US missiles – but it could pay off.

If Joe Biden’s gamble of allowing US missiles to be used inside Russia pays off, he will have done Ukraine a huge last favour in the final days of his presidency, says international security expert Stefan Wolff. CNA

Holy cow, is this a 3 year old kid talking? Oh, my apologies, he is a professor in University of Birmingham! Biden is playing not with fire but a nuclear war! Did Biden approve this madness or Blinken approved it on his behalf? Biden would not be able to appreciate the consequences of this decision, but Blinken must know how serious it was. Russia is not your Middle East states that can be cowed or coerced not to hit back. And Russia has plenty to hit back, enough to turn USA and Europe into ashes. Every hit by Ukraine could draw many more and bigger hits on Ukraine. Many lives are at stakes.

What does the clown Zelensky and the clowns in Washington hope to achieve with this mad move? To win the war in Ukraine, to gain an upper hand? The upper hand is in the hands of Putin. Putin has all the cards and is in full control of this madness.

As usual, anything silly or dangerous from the West would also come with a but, that it is something good. On the other hand, anything good and beneficial to the world from China would come with a but, that it is bad or would fail. Can you imagine what the West would say if China would to do the same thing?

Come on Zelensky, fire all you have, you have been given the green light...to destroy Ukraine and the Ukrainians, with Kiev as the first city to be vanished in smokes.

With a maniac like Zelensky being let loose by the American terrorists in Washington, Europe is going have a ball of fire for Christmas. Good work, Zelensky, and good work, Biden, oops, should be Blinken.

 

 

Europe being misled by weak and meek leaders

 Europe is toast following the USA. When you have the one-eyed leading the blind, going into the sewers is still following a direction, but at what cost?

Now Trump wants Europe to foot more of NATO's defense budget, a posture he already made during his first term, when Europe is already on the edge of bankruptcy. It does not just rain but pours for Europe. Europe should have started on having its own defense plan without the USA involved.

Suffice to say, without the USA in NATO, expansion of NATO would have been more tempered and relations with Russia would not have descended into a more confrontational approach. Why would Europe want to extend NATO into Ukraine to antagonize Russia? Europe would now not have to suffer an energy crisis, a path that Angela Merkel had tried to avoid all along. She had a cordial relationship with Putin for most of her chancellorship.

Meanwhile, I am waiting for Trump to end the Ukraine War in 24 hours, LOL.

American Rules Based Order meddling in Asean internal affairs

 It has been reported that the USA is conducting a regime change in Cambodia. Laos will be on their radar with Myanmar a works in progress. These are countries having good and close relations with Beijing.

What the USA failed to accomplish in Hong Kong, they are now looking at ASEAN countries to destabilize to further its interest. Thailand too has its fair share of instigations, using the CIA and USA supported NGOs to create instability. The Thai Military and the Thai Monarchy had been able, so far, to deter unrest. What will happen with the new Government is still not known and to whose interest it is migrating towards is not clear.

The USA is targeting a couple of countries in ASEAN, particularly Indonesia. When persuasion fails as in Vietnam, covet action takes over.

By the way, the Philippines is reported to be willing to throw Duterte under the bus, to cater to the demands of the USA. The Government is said to be willing to allow Duterte to be extradited to be punished for his actions against the drug lords in the Philippines while he was in power. That shows how much control the USA had over Mickey Marcos. Supporters of Duterte must do another people's power to make things right. Getting rid of drugs in the Philippines ought to be a good thing rather than being seen as a crime against humanity. It just boggles the mind!

Now that ASEAN had expressed its desirability to have China in the region more than the USA, the splitting up of ASEAN is a priority for the USA and ASEAN leaders must be able to see what is coming. ASEAN will be ruined like Europe if the USA succeeds in breaking up the grouping and turning ASEAN against China. China is still an important trade partner for all ASEAN countries. It is up to ASEAN leaders to measure carefully what is in it for them with the USA dictating the direction.
