Apologies
to Americans for using the term Americunts in this case. There is a huge trade
deficit in America’s trade with China and this is giving the
Americans a lot of excuses to complain against the Chinese Govt. But what would
the Americans expect the Chinese to do with the money from their trade surplus
when they could not buy anything that the Americunts considered as militarily
sensitive or strategically unacceptable? Do they expect the Chinese to buy root
beer, hamburgers and chew gums when they are banned from buying military
equipment and high tech stuff that have potential for military use? Everything
has a potential to be used in military equipment, like a simple magnet or a
solar cell.
So
the Chinese bought a hotel, an American icon no doubt. And this is also
prohibited for security reasons as the rich and famous and powerful Americans
like to stay at the Waldorf. And hey, the management and operations of the
hotel will be in the hands of Americunts for another 100 years. What security risks are
they talking about? It is in American soil and the secret police and FBIs would
have all the say about security matters in the hotel. Or at worse, American
politicians should not be allowed to stay at the Waldorf and there are plenty
of other good hotels available.
Come
on Americunts, stop being a bitch. Stop bitching in every little things. The
Cold War ended decades ago. Oops, the war for world dominance is still hot and
getting hotter. Free trade? Liberty?
PS. China is going buy up the Liberty Statue. Any problem with that?

Is TRE down?
ReplyDeleteLet the Chinese buy Raffles Hotel.
ReplyDeleteMust be down on unannounced and unscheduled maintenance.
ReplyDeleteThe Americans can learn from Singapore's free and liberal trade and economic policies. Singapore not only allowed anyone to work here it will sell anything at a price.
ReplyDeleteSingapore has also sold its national icon, the Raffles Hotel, its strategic assets like power stations. If the price is right it would sell sIA, DBS and the Istana as well. The last one has only one condition. With for the permanent resident to take permanent leave.
In order to BUY something, there must first be a party willing to SELL that specific thing. i.e. no willing SELLER, no deal to even talk about.
ReplyDeleteDun blame the buyer lah. It is the seller who offers his backside for sale ;-)
Any PRC with money and half a functioning brain will put their money "offshore" -- away from the shaky China banking system, and the impending hard / soft (who knows?) landing of the wobbly China economy and their real estate market. SO the PR Chinese are buying BIG TIME all over the world: Singapore, London, Sydney, and of course USA -- to get rid of their "worthless" USD's which they earn from selling iPhones to debt-ridden, god-fearing, fat and drunk Americans.
i.e. PR Chinese are on the ball, The west for the most part -- dropped the ball. Chinese got money, the west is in debt, broke or close to broke. Behold the Golden Rule: He who has the gold makes the rules. And the Chinese have the "gold", so they call the shots when it comes to money and transactions.
Western life is fantastic -- individual freedom and sovereign individual rights, drug legalisation catching on, free speech, plenty of sex, booze, guns....all day fun and more...but when it comes to PURE CAPITALISM, they all lose out to the China, and India.
About 30% of the worlds population is comprised collectively of China and Indian nationals -- and they are hungry to make money and are damn good at it.
If you don't like this, too fucking bad for you.
May you live in interesting times ;-)
In the land of cowboys, anyone can bitch what they like. Perhaps they should look at their own system and understand why they ended up selling important stuff to foreigners. A wake up call is needed but I think they will be too lazy to do that after being 'spoilt' by the system for decades.
ReplyDeleteTheir new generations are only interested in beers, porns and guns. All thanks to their 'liberty' system.
ReplyDeleteThe vulgarity of your title says a whole lot about you.
ReplyDeleteWaldoft Astoria is locate in Park Ave in Manhattan. But since it has a secret underground tunnel that leads to the Masonic lodge in Amtyville. It happens to be one of those old buildings which can be used for other things besides accommodating rich people.
ReplyDeleteIt's strategic. As since no one really knows how extensive the secret tunnel network is - the chinese are really buying more than just the hotel.
I happen to know about such things.

The Freemason is still a very powerful force in the US. Wow, the underground tunnels and the secrets of the cult. Maybe the Chinese did know something in this purchase.
