Another China bashing article in CNA

CNA Insider by DerrickA Paulo

China is hungry for food. The Amazon is left counting the cost

The face of Brazilian rainforest is changing, and China is responsible for that in no small way, with its newfound love of beef and demand for soya beans....(the bold emphasis is mine, and this is main statement of this article).

MATO GROSSO, Brazil: It is the world’s largest rainforest, containing 10 per cent of the world’s known biodiversity. And it is paying the price for helping to feed a country 17,000 kilometres away.

China needs to feed its population and would food from any country that is willing to sell, just like countries importing palm oil from countries that are clearing land for palm oil or soya beans, or importing weapons from countries that are manufacturing and selling weapons. Who is to be blamed, the buyer or seller? The buyer did not point a gun at the seller to sell their beef or palm oil/soya beans or weapons. It is the sellers that see good profit and decided to clear land for farming and plantations and factories to make weapons.

Why is it the fault of China that pays good money on a willing buyer willing seller basis. Why is China responsible for the deforestation of the Amazon? Did China send its soldiers that to clear the forest? This kind of western narrative at China bashing is prevalent to smear China as a irresponsible country. China on the whole eat less beef than the Americans or Europeans.  

All the irresponsible countries that are selling beef, soya beans and palm oils should stop their people from clearing land to produce these food to sell. If they don't sell to China they would sell to someone else. If they don't sell, they would have no money to feed their people and they will die or live in poverty. If they are so unhappy with what they are doing, then stop doing it. Why commit murders and blame China for it?

Singaporeans can also blame India for sending its unemployed and jobless in the millions to Singapore to work, depriving Singaporeans from good jobs, and also for clearing our little forest to build more homes and factories for these foreigners. Soon we would not have a single little forest in Singapore to talk about. Should be blame India for it? Using this stupid westernn logic, Asean countries affected by the annual haze should also blame China for buying palm oil from Indonesia?

What kind of stupid logic is this? And CNA is screening this programme that put the blame squarely on China for destroying the Amazon forest. I thought the anti China gang of four have been gagged, now this again. Is this good for Singapore China relations? What is the intent of Singapore to publish and screen such western narratives that always accused China of wrong doings when China is a distant innocent party? Why not publish and screen the crimes of the Americans and the West in the Middle East leading to the biggest exodus of Arabs and Muslims in modern history and the death and destruction of their countries and people? Why no narrative about the western wars and crimes against humanity in the Middle East and Africa that are worthy to be reported?

Oh the Americans and the West are so innocent. They are the angels helping the Arabs and Muslims, including protecting their oil fields. They are there to destroy their countries in order to rebuild them.They are there to kill them to force them to migrate to better places in Europe and America. See, what a generous, peace loving and magnanimous people the Americans and the West are compare to China for buying beef, soya beans and palm oil from countries that have to destroy their forests.

Brazil, please don't feed the Chinese, you don't have to, you don't have to clear your forest to do so. Is Brazil helping China or China helping Brazil? Brazil like all developing and underdeveloped countries do not need China's money or help. All the countries asking China to build their roads and railways and infrastructure did not need so. They do not need the roads and railways and infrastructures and ended in debt, owing money to China. They can continue to live their way of life, poor roads, no railways no infrastructure and be happy as they are. The West love them to be like that.

Why incur debt? If they want to incur debt, they must do it in a big way like the Americans in tens of trillions US$ or like other developed countries, including Singapore, all high in debt. These countries never complain about their debt but very happy with their big debt and development and all the good infrastructures. The poor and developing countries must remain as they are, poor and underdeveloped and debt free.The West love them so much that they pain to see them in debt, owing money to China but not to the West.
