Listen to the screams of panic-stricken passengers, children's voices among them, crying in terror and calling out prayers, as an Iranian airliner is intercepted and harassed by US warplanes over Syrian air space just the other day.
Passengers were left bruised and bloodied after the pilot of the civilian aircraft suddenly changed altitude to avoid a collision with one of the F-15 jets, although the US claimed it kept a safe distance and was only protecting its military base below.
There's nothing that Iran " already debilitated by US-led sanctions and ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic " can do about it, except complain to a United Nations that is powerless to confront the world's biggest bully as it gets more belligerent.
This is the new world order as US President Donald Trump, facing the growing prospect of a drubbing in an election he is desperate to win at all costs, seeks to distract voters from blaming him for the social and economic carnage wrought by the pandemic and his own abject failure to contain it.
On the home front, his administration has sparked a potential constitutional crisis by sending federal forces to crack down on anti-racism protests in cities that don't want that kind of interference upending the separation of powers between state and national governments.
To those who would argue that protest violence justifies federal intervention and media reports have misrepresented demonstrations as being entirely peaceful, that's exactly what happened in Hong Kong, remember, and yet the same US government painted every attempt by authorities here to restore order as "repression". How do you like them apples?
And now, in addition to cutting off Hong Kong's nose to spite Beijing with punitive acts that only serve to hurt the city, China's weakest link, the Trump administration has gone into overdrive to ostracise and stigmatise Beijing as the ultimate bogeyman. Washington's escalating and reckless provocation seriously risks triggering a military confrontation that could prove catastrophic for the whole world, but there is no power on the planet to counter its hegemony and aggression.
While openly coercing America's cronies and lobbying other nations to gang up against China, Trump's thuggish top diplomat Mike Pompeo made an unhinged rant of a speech this week that was beyond appalling in its ignorance and Sinophobia.
"The truth is that our policies, and those of other free nations, resurrected China's failing economy, only to see Beijing bite the international hands that fed it," he said. "We must also engage and empower the Chinese people " a dynamic, freedom-loving people who are completely distinct from the Chinese Communist Party." Really.
The most eloquent and fitting response to this nonsense came from former diplomat and veteran China hand Robert Daly, who told US News & World Report magazine: "China is not a land of innocent captives and evil master trolls. US-China relations are not a children's story. In China, the United States faces something far more formidable than Secretary Pompeo suggests: China is a vast, complex, wealthy, ambitious, aggrieved nation ...
"In confronting China, we're not dealing with a wholly good people who have been 'imprisoned' or 'enslaved' by a purely malign party. Chinese are often frustrated by a government (that) ignores their wishes, moves too slowly or moves in the wrong direction, but the available evidence is that, as citizens of the PRC, most Chinese people feel proud and enabled, not constrained."
All that's left to say to Pompeo and his master is what Boston lawyer Joseph Welch once famously told anti-Communist witch-hunter Joseph McCarthy during one of his Salem trials-style hearings: "Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?"

If the CCP is so bad for China as claimed, why do the Chinese leaders take all the trouble to pull more than 800 million out of poverty? Looking at past and present dictatorships around the world, how many dictators give a thought to it's own citizens hardship, other than just filling their own pockets during their rule.
Is Trump in that category and trying very hard to paint himself as benevolent and caring? Far from it. He is killing more US citizens by supporting early opening to shore up his and cronies suffering businesses. More Americans are falling into poverty than being pulled out of poverty.
Look at the homeless situation in major cities. Look at the falling infrastructure that is in serious need of repairs. Look at the response he is making to render USA safer against COVID19. He is doing the opposite and lying in all directions. Even Bill Gates has thrown a spanner in his big fat balloon that the USA death rate is the lowest in the world.
Of course the poodles will say all the efforts of China eradicating poverty is just propaganda. So be it. The facts are there to proof it. The lies will not kill the Chinese, but will kill those who believe in Trump that the virus will just go away, like magic. Trump is still repeating this mantra when the reality is the opposite.
Originally America is a beautiful land of the indigenous native American Indians. The Anglo-Saxons came from England and Europe to invade and rob off the land from the native Americans culminating in the genocide and near complete extermination of the entire native population.
America is now run and ruled by hordes of robber barons, rogues, crooks and scoundrels. The white American rogue administration indulges in all kinds of piracy against many countries which are against its savage behaviour and wild aggressions. It indulges in marine piracy, air piracy, land piracy, commercial piracy, cyber piracy and financial piracy. Under marine piracy it can board and search ships and even hijack the ships. It can also blockade countries against international rules and laws. In air piracy it can hijack planes in mid-air to land in secret USA operated military airports in both America and its overseas bases. American commercial and cyber piracy is well known and need not to be mentioned here again. Its financial piracy does the most harm to many countries. Its financial piracy involves the use of illegal sanctions under which the American rogues and robbers force many other countries to pay US hundreds of billions of dollars in fines base on extra-territorial control of its toxic Petro Dollar and its threat of over one thousand military bases all over the world.
Hope Russia and China together with the support of many other socialist countries will soon get rid of the US controlled Petro-Dollar. De-dollarization will disable US ability to print unlimited amount of dollars in fait currency to con, cheat and swindle the whole world. When that happens America will be reduced to a pauper and become a very poor country and it will no longer be able to indulge in financial piracy through sanctions.

Do you believe a singaporean spy ?Sudenly spies everywhere The shit times big big headline .All are staged anti China drama
Sad truth is that the US propaganda machine has succeeded in inseminating the minds of many Asian countries with their evil agenda, such that most countries have now supported the US or taken the side of the US in any attack on Russia and China. Communism has been debased as the evil side, while Western democracy touted as the only good side.
The US succeeded in all this with their US$ hegemony, coupled with their military expansionism, which has been instrumental in being used to threaten and cowed any opposing viewpoints.
Destroying the US$ hegemony is the only way to bring down the evil empire. That is why the US is hell bent on preventing that from happening, with all the gloves now off in their relentless attack on China and Russia. Under Biden's watch, you can bet there will not be any change in US attitude towards China, not until China is seen to be prevented from progressing.
The same treatment will befall any country that aspire to overtake the US. India has such ambitions, and bringing China to it's knees as another competitor is also the intention of the Indians in their present stand against China.

Yeah, suddenly any Chinese from anywhere is a spy.
Who spied on Angela Merkel and other EU leaders? Who sold rigged decoding machines to the EU allies and used such machines to spy on those allies? And yet those allies still believe in the US bullshit that Huawei 5G is a security risk, forgetting that spying has been going on with 4G and even 3G usage over the decades. Kidding the kids is so easy!
For centuries, the CIA and many American spy agencies have spies all over the world. Hong Kong and Taiwan have about the most American spies spying on China.
The American spies are all being watched by China but not pulling in the nets. They are like the two Canadian Michaels in Chinese jails. China would only pull them in when the time is ripe to hit back at the Americans.
One big swoop and hundreds and thousands of American spies would be roped in, when the time comes.
The American outlaws are terrorising everyone all over the world. These gangsters must be stopped.
All people of Chinese descent, irrespective of tribes, dialects and creed, must resolve to unite as a Force For Good - to help the people of the world get rid of the Evil Monster that is rampaging every piece of land, every country on Earth, once for all.
China needs to expand nuclear arsenal as US presses closer: GT chief editor
Hu Xijin, editor in chief of the Global Times, called on China to build more nuclear missiles as the country is facing unprecedented security challenges from the US.
China must be prepared to deal with the next more extreme adventures by the US, Hu wrote in his Sina Weibo account Sunday.
"Hurry up and build more nuclear missiles to deter the US lunatics," reads the post. "China having more powerful nuclear arsenal is the most important leverage to keep American arrogance below a safety line. Nothing else is very effective."
In the post, Hu stressed that China will not give up its efforts to resolve various issues through consultation with the US, "however, it is not up to us. With the US suppressing further, we cannot rule out the possibility that clashes break out between China and the US in the South China Sea and the Taiwan Straits. There will be a contest of wills between China and the US, and sufficient nuclear weapons are an indispensable pillar of China's will," Hu wrote.
At a time when the US is pressing closer, China's national security is facing unprecedented challenges, reads the post, "China was forced to increase its nuclear arsenal, which many people in the world can understand. China must not tie its own hands and make a big mistake."
