Canada has finally break away from the American Empire by announcing that it would join the AIIB and is quickly welcomed by China. Canada was three of the sore thumbs, including the US and Japan that refused to join the AIIB despite Britain, France, Germany and Australia joining as founding members. The attraction and benefits of being a part of the AIIB are too difficult to resist in a world economy that is declining and in need of a growth engine.
The AIIB is strongly anchored to China’s One Belt and One Road infrastructure development in Asia for another two or three decades and Canada just cannot afford to miss this boat if it wants economic growth and opportunities for its people. According to Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Morneau, Canada is looking for opportunities around the world and the AIIB just provides that.
In a Business Times report by Anthony Rowley, ‘Former Goldman Sachs Asia vice-president Kenneth Courtis said in comments made available to The Business Times that "this is clearly the right decision". "It was a major mistake of the former government of Canada not to have joined the AIIB from the start, as Germany, France and the UK did.’
With this move, only the two anti China diehards in the USA and Japan are left out of the AIIB loop and isolating themselves from the infrastructure development in Asia. What could likely happen in the near future would be for the two antagonists to want to join the AIIB and it would be China’s turn to shut the down on them like the way they shut the door on China from IMF for so many decades and making it so difficult for China to join.
The whole game has come full circle. China should make the Americans and Japanese plead for membership to the AIIB when the day comes.
AIIB is good for the world. Because it is the brainchild of China, USA and Japan are not joining. I think they are cutting of their noses to spite their faces. I agree, when they realise their mistake in the future, China should make it difficult for them.
ReplyDeleteSo how does this affect Sinkieland's economy, and which is what Sinkies want to know, tio bo?
ReplyDeleteHow much does Canada play a part in Sinkieland's economy and security, as compared to say America?

Tiok. If Canada join or don't join AIIB makes no difference to Sinkieland, why would PAP care?
If RB or whoever kpkb makes no difference to PAP at the next election, why would PAP care?
If only more RBs join the Sinkie opposition and stand for election to make it strong, united and ready to be govt, then PAP will care. PAP will also become more alert to RB's kpkb.
ReplyDeleteBut after 51 years, when the one and only one RB did not even want to join, let alone contest elections, how to expect more RBs to join? How to expect the opposition to become strong, united and ready to be govt by next election, which is only less than 5 years away?
Athens USA and japan can work through IMF, world bank and the Japanese ADB no need to join China AIIB lar Tio bo?

Tiok. That's why Athens USA and japan did not join AIIB lor.
PAP can depend only on the opposition not ready to be govt and the 70% to win elections, no need to worry RB or whoever kpkb lar, tio bo? That's why PAP can win lor, and win big some more.
DeletePAP has 70% depending on it,
why should it cares about
Rb and the 30%?
Maybe the 70% is symbiotic with PAP.

ReplyDeleteSingapore does not sound great indicated in G20.
ReplyDeleteFirst great news is: World Health Organization listed Singapore as a spreading Zika country. Good for tourists who feel curious about Zika. Our Today reported: local doctors said Zika risk for baby brain defect is very low for Singapore. The repo said 1 to 13%. Wa lau, if Aids is 1 to 13%, i wander is not risky.
Brain defect is life time for a baby, Aids is half life for many, which one is more serious? Both kena once, that it, no cure. How can MSM said risk is low? Stop voting for the Pap trying to manipulate information. Such risk is very serious, low or high become NOT important. Clear?
Canada join AIIB has no significance in world finance or 1B1R. Both Japan and US should not join AIIB as this bank is not for their infrastructure borrowing, similar to Canada which might run out funds, and want money now, so join lah.
When Xi met Brazil president, he told the counter part China wanted to work with Brazil to create a model for cooperation for 3rd world countries.
When Xi met Jokowi, he proposed more cooperation with Indonesia which is an important country, to Jokowi is delight.
When Xi met LHL, he said China worked out with Singapore in Nov on cooperation, and there is progress. NO FUTURE offers was said.
Can we see the contrast for Singapore? LHL indicated earlier Singapore wanted infra structure, finance, aerospace cooperation with China. Xi said nothing about it. That is not a good sign for Singapore. It meant to me: Singapore is not qualified to cooperate with China on the 3 areas mentioned by the dragon. 1B1R looks like excluding Singapore. Singapore wanted Shangrila style of shooting at China, and Philippines style of forming own "international laws" to force China to follow. Xi s hands are tied. His kaki will prevent him from helping Philippines, may be also Singapore.
Singapore and china relationship is distancing away. US Obama will love it and Hillary will welcome it. Singapore s only hope is to get benefits from US, not China, under Pap. Can it be done? There must be results: not talk talk. The real economy is spinning down with exports down trend. Crisis is waiting to start, such as bankruptcy, unemployment, banking bad loans, household debts ballooning up. Talk no use: even Zika also cannot control. What tourism can singapore offer now? Retailers are hoping for nothing as jobs are given to foreigners and foreigners are not spending in singapore.
Pap s hard time will show in next year.
Yesterday I predicted Zika would be 170 cases today.
ReplyDeleteI was very wrong.
Its 189 cases today. The speed of Zika spreading is alarming. Health care head acted like baby hiding away. Scare of Zika and cannot show face in public to explain what he cannot do. If 1 can be done, and 9 cannot be done, at least i want to hear 1 point because he was paid so much money last money, and also this month. What do u think?
...at least i want to hear 1 point because he was paid so much money...
ReplyDelete10:58 am
U want to hear your business lah, he was paid so much money his business lah. They are 2 separate matters, and even if Zika reach 1000 cases, as long as PAP can still win elections.
I propose SMRT invite AIIB into Singapore to help replace the entire train tracks and improve it for free. Afterall, AIIB is set up to improve members' infrastructure and export China's overcapacity.
ReplyDeleteCrisis is waiting to start, such as bankruptcy, unemployment, banking bad loans, household debts ballooning up.
ReplyDelete10:48 am
Crisis is waiting to start? I thought already started even before 11 Sep 2015?
So what has crisis got to do with PAP winning elections? Why would PAP worry about crisis when they can still win elections, and some more Hong Lim Park also very quiet now? By the way, where is Roy and Gilbert?
If u cannot buy insect repellent, drive in to Malaysia. The custom at Johor will spray insect repellent for your car FREE of charge.
ReplyDeleteThe more you drive in, the more you get free.
Save money leh. Cheap markan there, get NON zika mosquitoes bites. No Zika problem better than makan out in Zikapore, once kena Zika, 6 months no sex. Wanna have baby, u better go bollehland often. In Zikaland, be safe than sorry, use condoms.

I think hor.
As long as LHL is PM and PAP is government.
China will not cooperate with Singapore.
Why?
Once a prostitute has been used.
That's it.
Something for something.
Singapore has nothing more that China wants.
Anon 12:50pm
ReplyDeleteWhen Xi met Loas chairman, Xi said china wished to work with Loas in a same "destiny community" basis. A husband and wife is similar to a same destiny community, correct?
When Xi met LHL Xi said china would deepen existing projects such as Chongqing mutual connectivity project for 1B1R. China expected mutual respect of positions involving core benefits of each other s country. China looks forward to Singapore for better communication and cooperation.
When Xi met Jokowi, Xi wanted Indonesia to be good neighbor, good friend, good partner, continuously to expand cooperation and enhance political mutual trust. Jokowi nodded with delight.
U can see Xi indications to his kaki what he wanted to do for each country within Asean he met yesterday. By ranking, Xi only wanted to say hellow to Singapore high level leeders. But value Singapore put money into 1B1R.
Loas will get highest level treatment for destiny community. Loas would expect China to invest in Loas projects.
Indonesia will receive China to throw in projects on mutually agreed basis. Certainly, good financing basis with china s deep pocket.
What i expect of Xi: if Singapore is like Loas, China may shift some part of aircraft parts manufacturing, design, whatever to be "destiny community". Correct? China can invest in Singapore satellite monitoring center outside China. China can shift RMB businesses into Singapore on telco handsets design and assembly in complex circuits etc to sell to markets like Indonesia and regions. Its a matter of what Xi want to do to benefit singapore, and to compete with the DPP Tw Independent party as warning.
Basically: if china shift hi tec jobs to singapore, they can get the benefits as real singaporeans speak 2 languages.
Unfortunately, singapore s distinct advantage has been blurred off by LHL s take "3rd world foreign talents" policies.
In financial markets, whatever analysis, will come out from some Indians analysts. Even China shanghai companies see the needs to have singapore as financial hubs, they cannot see singapore s financial products can be shared with china s counter parts. So HK is the natural benefited country from Shanghai s expansion. Of course, HK s analysis are more indepth than Singapore s ah neh talk corks. So LHL wanted finance spill over from China, Xi can hardly do. Aerospace is confidential involving military, Xi cannot do, intrastructure: yes, ask singapore to throw money like Suzhous, why not. Other intrastructure, singapore mrt cannot even maintain existing mrt, how to be provider? So singapore is no qualified, not even for India or Indonesia s rail in future.
"Pax America crumbling into pieces"
ReplyDeleteWhat about Pax Lee Dynasty?
Is it crumbling into pieces?
Sports Hub, NDP audience swearing to each other, no flag to swear. It is a mrt set up. Cork up at the most important time.
ReplyDeleteIts like spending billions on missile, when firing, it has no round to fire, reason is software cork up. What want to know software corkup or signal corkup. We want it to work at the right time.
These people got rich by working inside, hiring someone to take care of grass field, and this foreign talent could fly around to India as their consultant, moonlighting openly.
Pap is a big cork up. What do u think? Look at what they do. They always say they are good. Like Zika, they say they know Zika would come into Singapore. This is so stupid right? Who will say Zika will not come, it like who will say sun will not rise, rain will not come, correct?
The key point is: have you prepare umbrella, or rain cloth.
Did Pap prepare umbrella and rain cloth to tahan Zika?
The bollehland scan visitors, spray free repellent. These are umbrella and rain cloth.
The Pap did nothing, even needed gp doctor to remind Health to check if the cases are Zika.
If Health monitor construction sites, the Zika would have been under control as early as previous month.
Pap is sleep team. Really over paid with salary, like to talk they are good, but produces no good results. Look at the results and never ever forget their mistakes lapses after mistakes lapses. Wait for next GE to vote non pap candidates.
All kingdoms and empires will end when they forgot about their own people.
ReplyDeleteCanada economy is now in bad shape. The housing bubble are bursting at the moment. Many will cry for help.
ReplyDeleteZika has found this little dot as home.
ReplyDelete215 cases, with 26 cases today.
Tourists will love to come to Singapore to understand the Zika situation. Retailers are stocking up merchandises to grab big sales ahead of Chrismas.
So dindong bell time will have Zika drinks, Zika dinners, and Zika songs. By then, probably Zika can reach 500 cases to reach world number one target. Some one said this is the world first class division one govt. I agree. Top the speed in spreading Zika.
