Chinese President Xi Jinping told the World Health Assembly at its virtual gathering in May that his country’s Covid-19 vaccines, when available, would be treated as a “global public good”. China has vowed that African countries would be among the first to benefit from an approved vaccine.
It has also said priority would be given to Mekong River countries – Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam – and promised the Philippines would be given quick access, while Latin American and Caribbean nations would receive US$1 billion in loans to buy the vaccines.
What is ‘vaccine diplomacy’?
“China is conducting ‘vaccine diplomacy’ by making promises to many countries in the developing world,” said Huang Yanzhong, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, a New York think tank.
“However, it remains to be seen whether China will work with the US if its vaccine proves effective. Lack of trust between the two is hindering cooperation in public health.”
The above is quoted from SCMP. With 4 candidates from China in the final stages of Phase 3 trial, China is posed to be among the first countries to make the Covid19 vaccines available to the world and has officially talking about this. The selfish and irresponsible Americans are still talking about America First and giving all the hints that they would look after themselves first if they have the vaccine.
China is also a major drug and pharmaceutical supplier and would be able to make the vaccines in bulk for the world. Countries that are friendly to China, as mentioned in the above quote from Yahoo News would be the first recipients of Chinese diplomacy and generosity.
The evil West, especially the devious Americans and Australians would likely to be the last in China's list of recipients. They would get their shares but would be down the line after Asians, Africans and Latin Americans get theirs first. The nasty anti China Australians are getting worried to be left behind and Morrison had even spoken out abour sharing the vaccines with the rest of the world. Sure, China will share, but enemies of China will get last. And right at the bottom of the list must be the USA.
This is what Fauci said of China. ' In July, the US’ top infectious diseases official Anthony Fauci said it was unlikely the US would use vaccines developed by China or Russia, given their regulatory systems were far more opaque than those in the West.'
Why should China be generous with the evil Americans that have been smearing China, denouncing and discrediting China with all kinds of lies, about how not to trust China is, about how not to rely or depend on China? China should give the Americans the middle finger. And to tell Trump or Biden not to bother to call Xi. They would not pick up the hotline. Just stay in the queue and wait.
The day has come when the evil and trouble making Americans would have to beg China for help to save American lives.
The white racist Aussies also! Beijing must not let the US attack dog have any opportunity to access Chinese vaccine when available!

Hahaha
ReplyDeleteSeems China have to take a leaf from the PAP. Opposition will always be last to be given upgrading, so said the PAP. But it failed to work in this case. Hougang, though black listed for decades, still voted for the opposition.
On the vaccine for COVID19, Trump is touting that warp speed US vaccine will be out a day before the US election. Lots of fantasy from the toxic mouth.
After four long years in the White House, he has done nothing about medicare after cutting Obama's mediaid. Two years after the trade war against China, has Trump really won? 3,500 companies are suing him for the tariffs on China. Four years after promising that Mexico will pay for the wall, only a tiny stretch of the wall has gone up, all financed by US citizens, mind you, not Mexico. Some parts of the wall have already collapsed.
China has every right to decide who gets the vaccine first. The funny part is the USA is taking a stand against using Chinese Vaccine, but lots of medicine and medical stuff are already made in China and India. Why are they using them?
But never mind, as Virgo said, when they do not have the vaccine then, and with one leg in the coffin, would they use it? After all they have tried injecting insecticides. Not a joke, because there were quite a number of people taking advice from Dr Trump. That is how much grey matter these people in the USA have, with the best universities in the world, but producing ignorant citizens. Little wonder he still has a support base of 40%.
The Vatican has denied the Evil US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo The Butcher, an audience with Pope Francis.
ReplyDeleteThe Holy See said the Pontiff does not receive politicians during an election period.
The move adds to a diplomatic row following comments by Butcher Pompeo about China and the Catholic Church.
The Vatican accused Butcher Pompeo of trying to use that issue to attract voters in November's US presidential election.
In an article earlier this month, Butcher Pompeo said the Catholic Church was risking its "moral authority" by renewing an agreement with China regarding the appointment of bishops.
The Evil US Butcher and Running Dog has been attacking China relentlessly since he became the Secretary of State. This evil butcher must be condemned by all lovers of peace on this Earth.
US yesterday banned Malaysian palm oil imports after KL says it won't follow US sanctions on Chinese companies as it don't recognize unilateral sanctions, only that of UN.
ReplyDeleteHe is a big chunk of walking lard.
ReplyDeleteUS had over the years demonised palm oil and touted Canola oil im particular as the healthiest oil to use. This has enraged Mahathir to no end, which is why Mahathir does not like the US. Of course there are other reasons like religion adding to the discord.
ReplyDeleteWe now realised that Canola Oil is the most toxic cooking oil among all. The manufacturing process goes through the addition of chemicals to extract the oil and finally bleaching the brownish oil into golden looking oil. But, beware the poisons inherent in the oil.
Actually, most other oils touted as vegetable oil are actually seed oil, extracted from seeds using the addition of chemicals to force out the oil. If the addition of these chemicals can be called healthy or safe, I leave it to your imagination.
India's Hindu Caste Disease Re-surfaces Again - A Warning To Singapore
ReplyDeleteUnder the Hindus' BJP party led by Narendra Modi, the Hindu caste mentality has been openly displayed for the whole World to see. There is very little attempt to hide or disguise it. This culturally-ingrained caste-mentality is an ugly disease that is impossible to eradicate. Despite the promises of doing away with the caste system, this ugly disease continues to infect and infest the brains, hearts and souls of most Hindus, especially those in the upper echelons of society.
With a staunch traditional Hindu leader, the BJP Hindu nationalists have been pushing the minority communities into a corner. The minority communities, especially the Muslims, are feeling more humiliated now than at any time in the history of India since 1947.
Hindu mobs have lynched Muslims and others for eating beef or transporting cows, which are sacred to majority Hindus.
The Modi government has amended laws to fast track non-Muslim refugees from neighbouring countries. It has also split the Muslim-majority state of Jammu and Kashmir and stripped it of its decades-long constitutional autonomy.
This year, Muslims were singled out and blamed for spreading the COVID-19 coronavirus infections, after members of an Islamic group attended a religious gathering in Delhi. However, much larger Hindu religious gatherings during the COVID Pandemic received no such political, public or media opprobrium.
In addition, Muslim students and activists have been picked up and thrown into prison for allegedly instigating riots over a new controversial citizenship law introduced by the Modi Administration last winter, while many Hindu violent protagonists went scot-free.
India's Muslim community's sense of alienation is real. PM Modi's BJP makes no bones about its Hindu Majoritarian Ideology. Popular news networks openly demonize Muslims and other races. Many of India's once-powerful regional parties, which once stood by the minorities, appear to have abandoned them. The main Opposition Congress is accused of using the minorities cynically to harvest votes without providing much in return. The minority communities have few leaders to speak up for them.
Indian Muslims carry a double burden of being labelled as anti-national and as being appeased at the same time. The irony is that, while many Indians have bought the Hindu nationalist's bogey that Muslims are being "rewarded unfairly", the Muslims have in fact not benefited from any major socio-economic gains.
For decades, India's Muslims have been disproportionately squeezed into ghettos in India's teeming cities. Their share in India's elite federal police officers force was not even 3%, while Muslims make up more than 14% of the population. Only 8% of India's urban Muslims have jobs which paid a regular salary, less than double the national average.
Though enrolments of Muslim children at primary school levels are high, dropouts at high school are even higher, mainly due to economic deprivation at the national and local levels.
Also, Muslim representatives in India's Parliament have been declining speedily and consistently - below 5% in the elected lower house now, down from 9% in 1980. When the BJP swept to power in 2014, it was the first time a winning party did so without a single Muslim MP.
Religious electoral competition practised by the ruling BJP has led to the marginalization of Muslims. Modi's party polarises the country by making the Muslims a threat to the Hindu identity.
In fact, India is moving towards an ethnic Hindu dictatorship, born out of ethnic Hindu nationalisation, which inculcates a strong sense of belonging and of superiority of the Hindus over all other people in their ancient caste-fixated world view.
Back home, Singaporeans had better wake up now before it is too late. Don't play with your fate by romancing with a caste-entrenched mentality. Otherwise, one day you are bound to face the same fate as the minorities in India today.
Modi has been well known as an extremist. His party was once banned as a terrorist group.
ReplyDeleteHe is the Hitler of India.
Will put this up as an article tomorrow.
Vaccine for the COVID-19 when available from any country must be made accessible to all mankind. China President Xi has made this quite clear. Well done President Xi. The world would applaud you if China develops the vaccine. Idiot Trump would never be so generous. If the United States of America were to get the vaccine first Trump would supply only to his little United States of America around the world. Singapore would stand to benefit from this.
ReplyDeleteHave you notice that the imported Indians are subtly trying to make the majority Chinese Singaporeans as a threat to Singapore?
ReplyDeleteFrom academicians to media sub-editors, to CEOs of both private and government-linked enterprises, to young-punk YouTubers, to even condo owners bullying the security guards, they all have one objective in mind - to belittle and demonize the Chinese majority in Singapore. This is their first move.
Their next move, once they have achieved their objective of the first move, will be to challenge the Chinese majority in the political arena. In fact, test balloons have already been sent out.
Third, they will take on the Chinese majority, once they have achieved the critical mass. This will take another five to ten years.
After that, they will over-throw or stealthily replace all the Chinese who hold important and key positions. In fact, this has already started, without the dumb leaders even sensing it. 40% of MAS's, 48% of Temasek Holdings', 55% of DBS's and top managements are being occupied by foreigners. These are just three out of the many others. Collectively, does it not ring a bell - loud and clear?
It's all about short-term gains in money, power and short-cuts or easy-way-out. No vision for the future whatsoever?
India - The World's Well-known Worst Rapists Country.
ReplyDeleteBreaking BBC News:
The death of a second Dalit woman in a few days after an alleged gang rape has shocked and angered India.
The 22-year-old was dragged into a vehicle after going to apply for admission at a local school and raped, her mother told the BBC.
The news follows the death of another Dalit woman, 19, on Tuesday after an alleged gang rape by upper-caste men.
Dalits are at the bottom of the caste system. Despite laws to protect them they face widespread discrimination.
Both attacks took place in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. News of the first sparked protests in the streets in the state.
Police have registered complaints of rape and murder and arrested two men in connection with the latest case, which took place in Balrampur district.
The latest incident occurred some 500km (310 miles) away from Hathras district, where the earlier attack happened.
The first victim was grievously injured and died in a Delhi hospital on Tuesday after fighting for her life for two weeks.
The second victim also died on Tuesday - but national media picked up the news on Thursday, after heavy backlash on social media over sexual assault and caste violence in India.
Dalits, formerly known as untouchables, have suffered public shaming and attacks for generations at the hands of upper-caste Hindus.
The victim's mother told the BBC that the family started to panic when she did not arrive home at her usual time on Tuesday evening.
She said her daughter had gone to a nearby school to apply for admission on Tuesday morning. When she was returning home, a group of three or four men stopped her and forced her into their vehicle.
The mother alleges that they drugged her before raping her. "They broke my daughter's leg, they broke her waist," she said, adding that the men put her in a rickshaw after and sent her home.
"When she arrived, she looked very weak. Our daughter couldn't speak or get up. When we asked her what had happened, she couldn't answer," she added.
Ten minutes later, the victim complained of a "burning sensation" in her stomach, prompting the family to rush her to a local hospital.
"But since her condition was very serious, the doctor asked us to take her to a larger hospital in the city - but she died on the way there," the mother added.
"While officials are not confirming whether the victim was raped, they have also not denied the family's allegation," local journalist Saurabh Mishra said.
What are the traitors doing, thinking? Do they feel safe with the country being taken over? Do they think the foreigners will spare them and keep sleeping with them or would they be hanged soon?
