As usual US VP Pence like all American politicians speaking at international forums tried to sell snake oil to the leaders of other countries present. He is paddling cheap lies and laughable propaganda.
He claimed that USA can provide better development financing than China's undertaking in the Belt And Road Infrastructure . After exploiting and taking freely all the rich resources from Africa, South America and the Pacific Islanders for hundreds of years US and its European imperialist allies ignored these territories totally after they gained independence post Second World War. Only when they see the fruit of China's sincere help in developing and building the economy of these third world countries both technically and financially they look at the whole Chinese help with jaundiced eyes. Is their pledge now to help sincere or is it just to thwart China's noteworthy economic and financial help so as to cause it to fail and thus to discredit China's effort.
In reality all previous American help to third world countries was nothing but building a sea of debt or a debt trap in which they can never end paying to the US. Just read John Pilger's book "The Economic Hitman" to get the full picture of how America mercilessly exploited third world countries to only benefit and enrich America but completely impoverished the victimised third world countries.
Pence said, "We don't coerce or compromise your independence". Like all American statesmen he is consciously and playfully suffering from slanted political dementia that suits USA agenda. He might forget how Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, some Pacific Ocean island kingdoms and Diego Garcia lost their independence to US but definitely the victimised countries will never forget. Hundreds of thousands of brave Hawaiians were killed in their resistance to US armed agggression , 1895-1905. Now Hawaii is flooded with white Americans. The Americans may have annexed Hawaii but the proud Hawaiians will never stop fighting for their independence. The same goes for Guam and Diego Garcia in which the previous island owners were illegally and forcefully evicted from their countries to make way for American military bases. The Philippines was formerly invaded by US in 1898 under the pretext of helping the Filippinos to drive out the Spanish imperialist . But after defeating the Spaniards the Americans refused to leave the Philippines . The Philippines would not accept changing from a white Spanish overlord to a white American overlord. They resisted and fought off the Americans. Hundreds of thousands of Filippinos were killed and mercilessly slaughtered. They succumed to superior armed Americans. The Filippinos only gained their independence after the Second World War when the Americans unwillingly granted it out of desperation and fear of defeat from a determined and proud Filippino people who could expect help from Russia and other freedom loving countries. The native Americans warn us that "White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted " is true.
In sniping at China's Belt and Road Infrastruture development Pence said, "We do not offer a constricting belt or a one way road." He ignores the many constricting rings of over a thousand US military bases around the world threatening countries big or small and coercing others to toe US dictatorship rules and malevolence governance.
B&R Infrastruture projects were signed by parties as equal partners through talks, discussions and negotiations unlike US and its western allies in using force and arm twisting to take over other weaker countries and do what they want in exploiting and taking all the wealth and resources for free at gun point. US is now terrorising the Middle East to get its oil, gas and other minemeral resources. The same is happening in South America and Central America. But when countries involved in the B&R projects misused funds for the project for other unknown purposes it is not the fault of China because China unlike the US and the West does not interfere in their internal affairs.
Pence claimed "USA has principled approach to finance infrastructure projects in the region." This is yet another open and shameless lie. US bankrupted many Third World countries, eg Argentina, Venezuella, Haiti, Indonesia and the Philippines to just mention a few, forcing them to compromise their sovereignty by ceding ports for their military bases, Those who refuse to toe the US line will always be sanctioned and bullied.
US weaponised the US controlled Petrodollar and subject others to US economic colonialism to rob and exploit thrhough illegal and illicit sanctions. Using the Petrodollar as a weapon is criminal in nature. The petrodollar must be brought down and eventually demolished.

On the contrary mate. I think Mike Pence did great! He threw a bucket of bolts into the engine of progress, thereby creating vast opportunity for the "opportunity seekers".
Where is that "war stocks" fella? I'll bet he's smiling!
"America First" has been deeply embedded in US foreign policy. "American First" has become "America takes all."
The US won't give other economies room for further development and tries to block the development path of other countries. All Western countries take their vested interests for granted while hoping the developing countries stay at disadvantaged position forever.
It is all about keeping the US$ hegemony to control everyone and allow them to hang on to No. 1 at the expense of all others feeding the US deficit.
Saddam and Gaddafi tried to alter the status quo and paid the price. Now with Putin and Xi trying to do the same, the scenario is much more difficult than just trying to take these two out.
So the rhetoric of China's military expansion, colonisation of Africa, South America and parts of South Asia, stealing of technology, all must be hype up to convince the poodles and justify their actions. It is a desperate move short of starting WW3, which my be on the horizon.
As with Pence, all American leaders are the same. The talk arrogantly, threaten everyone, do their dirty deeds and accused everyone of doing the same dirty tricks that they have perfected.
What can be expect from the Angel of Death masquerading as the saviour?
Aiya, U Ass A pok kai liao.
Can only offered millions.
China Trillions.
U Ass A Principled??
You defiled me, I bomb you to Stone Age.
Our Ah Kwa tried to be International Statesman by offering advice both sides to talk and settle.
The whole farking World just would not open their CB mouths to condemn U Ass A.
Duerte, where are you??
Dotard scacred to be at APEC and low kwee only can throw pennies.
@ all the nay -sayers
Please lah, if we were stable and at "world peace" you won't get the opportunities we have now. Please refer to the famous Chinese saying about danger, crises and opportunity.
China knows this very well lah. What makes you thing that they are not just "playing along" to throw the mat saleh off his game, make him feel that he is "winning", open mouth talk more cock...eh, good strategy no?
>> What can be expect from the Angel of Death masquerading as the saviour? <<
What you can expect is exactly the hand they played lah. I would be surprised if Pence came to the meeting all apologetic, and humble. No lah. One would expect the US representative to have "attitude".
The Chinese have grounds to believe that the US may stage a surprise nuclear first strike against China. So the Chinese must make plans for a surprise nuclear first strike against the US.

You are right. I can't agree more.
Re: Anonymous !:17pm
Good You have exposed the devil and the hypocrisy of the Evil Empire.
RE: Virgo 49
I like your comment. Let's wake up the silly ASEAN politicians to the malevolent intent
of the Evil Empire.
Israel said its sovereignty over the Golan Heights is permanent, after the US rejected a UN resolution that calls on the Jewish state to end its occupation of the Syrian territory it captured in 1967.
“Israel will remain forever on the Golan Heights, and the Golan Heights will forever remain in our hands,” Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday, thanking the US leadership for voting against calls at the United Nations on Friday for the return of the Golan to Syria.
Israel captured the Golan Heights from Syria after the 1967 Six Day War. While Tel Aviv refrained from extending sovereignty over the Golan for over a decade, in 1981 the Jewish state annexed the area.
“I personally cannot imagine a situation in which the Golan Heights will be returned to Syria,” Netanyahu told the Israel Hayom newspaper in September. “I frankly cannot imagine a situation in which the Golan Heights is not part of Israel forever.”
Israel has enjoyed the most favorable relations with the US under the Trump administration, which has bowed to a strong domestic Israeli lobby to support Tel Aviv's demands, ignored by previous American governments.
During Trump's presidency, Washington has been blocking Palestinian aspirations for statehood. In the most controversial move, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocated the US embassy from Tel Aviv to the holy city.
The US, together with Israel and Saudi Arabia, form the Axis of Evil .

Golan Heights, if Syria cannot defence it, it will not owe it.
