The history of China in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was best described by the phrase, 关门打狗, or locking the door to beat the dogs. The western foreigners and the Japanese were the ones locking the door and the Chinese were the dogs. And they had no mercy beating up the Chinese in everyway possible. The Chinese were subhuman and were subject to all kinds of beating and thrashing, bullying oppression and suppression. All their possession were free to be taken away from them. They were even drugged with opium brought in by the foreigners, legally, by force of course. The Chinese did not have human rights or rights of any kind, no equality, no dignity.
They were locked in by the foreign powers to be exploited, cheated, robbed, beaten and kicked around in their own land. Their no longer belonged to them but to the foreign invaders.
China was lucky to have Mao and his communist Party to unite them as one people and to drive out all the foreigners from their land. But the door was still locked by the foreigners in their containment policy. The Chinese would have to make do with whatever they had and find their own way out of poverty and misery. It was a time of rebuilding their country by themselves, 关门自强. There were no foreign aid or assistance.
China got a little reprieve when the West needed China to be on their aside in their containment of USSR and allowed to open up and join the world economy, joined the WTO. Under Deng's guidance, it was a time to quickly learn everything from the new western dominated world, economic and scientific developments that had gone by while they were isolated from the world. It was also a time to work furiously and not getting into trouble. Kept the head low, when slapped, turned the other cheek.
The Americans had a great time time beating and bullying the Chinese with no repercussion, no fighting back from the Chinese. The western world and even small little Asian and SE Asian countries followed to take liberty on China. Some Asean countries even thought it was alright to grab Chinese islands and claimed them as their own. US and EU freely sanctioned and threatened China for every nonsensical reasons and talking down to China. Canada arrested innocent Chinese citizen. Australia tore away trade agreements and taunted and challenged China like a gangster. Japan openly supported Taiwan's independence and verbally said it would support Taiwan militarily. Little Lithuania and EU wanted to recognise Taiwan as an independent state from China etc etc
Against all these threats and violation to China's sovereignty, what could or should China do?
开门打狗
With so many dogs and pests banging at its door and blaring their megaphones in its front yard, China had it enough. It is time to open the door to beat the dogs and pests away. Australia, Canada and Lithuania were the first to have a taste of China's dog beating stick. Others would follow in the course of time if they did not beat a retreat.
This is a major change in China's coming out policy. China would now go for tit for tat, a tooth for a tooth or more policy in dealings with aggressive and disrespectful little or big brats. China will be aggressive, very aggressive, and will come down very hard on people or countries that infringed on its rights. China will behave like a big super power and will carry a big dog beating stick. Any country wanting to behave like a stray dog in China's court yard would be whacked real hard with no exceptions. Make this very clear, China is coming out with a big club and with the intention to use it. Do not fool around when China means serious business.
China would not give away an inch of its territory or turn away when challenged or taunted. The Anglo Saxon countries, the world's trouble makers, the world's number threat to world peace, and with the pretension and dream of ruling the rest of the world would be the top dogs, top on the list to be beaten by China. They formed offensive military alliances in the forms of 5 eyes, the QUAD, and now AUKUS, all aimed to take on China, to bring down China.
By the time China has done enough of dog beating, it would be time for China to 开门平天下, to bring peace and prosperity to the world, like what it is doing in Africa and Central Asia. These countries would develop and progress faster than the Asean countries with Chinese funds, technology and assistance. They will leapfrog and become the new rich countries of the world while Europe and America fade into oblivion.
Many European countries are already bankrupt or at the verge of bankruptcy. Going against China and cutting themselves off from China's economic train would leave them out in the cold, high and dry. They would be competitive and would not survive in an economy dominated and controlled by the Americans.

There are a few little dogs in Singapore that China must, without fail, teach a strong and hard to forget lesson. Especially those who have been using China as a punching bag to punch above their weightless weight.
China was allowed to join the WTO because the West wanted to take advantage of it's cheap labour market to produce the things they need. They also wanted to have a share of the huge Chinese market. The West certainly did not allow China to join the WTO for altruistic reasons. Do not be fooled by their propaganda.
China made good use of the opportunity to develop and eradicate poverty, the one area that is needed to be addressed in order to progress into a strong country. China did it with flying colours, and the West, particularly the USA, became paranoid that a communist system could do so well, achieving a GDP growth that astounded and upset the status quo of the much touted superior democratic system. The fact that the Chinese GDP is expected to overtake the USA's generates even more hysteria.
Japan had been beaten down into a subservient stagnant economic entity, when the USA saw the rapid progress of the Japanese growth towards the tail end of the last century. Japan could do nothing to retaliat.
China is a different kettle of fish for the USA to tackle. China does not bow like the Japs, under the yoke of colonial serfdom still in place. Japan is like a obedient dog, used by the USA today for the purpose of countering China, knowing full well the WW2 baggage and animosity that is still a sore point between the two countries. The USA knows how to leverage on this opportunity to divide and rule. But they still distrust the Japs for their sneaky character.
On another development elsewhere, there is now a frantic effort being made for damage control over the Australian nuclear submarine fiasco, particularly between France and the UK/Australia plotters. NATO is standing by the French in the dispute and the EU is talking about setting up their own military establishment in place of NATO. Whether this will materialise is left to be seen. All these developments have been kept a low profile from the eyes and ears of the people in those three countries who hatched the plot.
Watch the analysis of Alexander Mercouris on Youtube for all the political developments around the world. You can never find such coverage in the MSM anywhere.
Alamak AuKus Quad or Whatever lah...all lai lai China will make sure they got No Time To Die liao ..
Hahaha
Alamak, Quack, Five Blind Eyes, now Aukwards, are all just for laughs. No one can stop them from forming more alliances, but it is just recycling the same trash.
They say that when Alamak is asked a difficult question, she will break out in loud laughter and that is her answer.
According to RT, France had forwarded a bill of US 66 billion dollars to Australia for the cancelled submarines deal. This is how the Westerners' behaviour, big fish eat small fish. Interesting.
COVID-19 Singapore: Selective Reporting And Half-Truths Instead Of Full Disclosure?
In a Straits Times report dated 15 Dec 202, it was established that 47 per cent of migrant workers in S'pore dorms have had a Covid-19 infection.
There are about 323,000 dormitory dwellers in Singapore.
Almost half of the migrant workers living in dormitories have had a Covid-19 infection, the authorities said on Monday (Dec 14, 2020) in a joint statement made by MOH and MOM.
As of Sunday (Dec 13, 2020), 54,505 such workers have tested positive for the virus via a polymerase chain reaction or PCR test.
Another 98,289 had a positive result from a serology test, which checks for a previous infection.
This means 152,794 workers in dorms have tested positive in PCR or serology tests or both.
They form 47 per cent of the 323,000 dormitory dwellers in Singapore, said the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) in a joint statement.
The ministries added that serology tests for about 65,000 workers in dorms who had not taken them before were still being carried out. "This will give us the full picture of the infection prevalence among our migrant workers," they said.
PCR tests are used to diagnose current or new infections.
Serology tests identify those who have been infected in the past, by detecting the presence of Covid-19 antibodies in blood samples.
Question:
WHY IS THE 152,794 Cases of Infections not included in the Overall Total Count for COVID-19 Infections in Singapore?
Another circuit breaker would be a last resort, but we should not bet against it, if what is hidden between the lines, from the hinting given by the Health Minister, when asked if another circuit breaker is imminent.
Finance Minister a few days ago was telling us that we cannot afford another lockdown as the economy will suffer serious setbacks. Will it be full steam ahead or reversal again?
Just be prepared. Hospitals are extending their spaces all over. The situation looks to be very fluid.
They are formulating their policies based on 'hopefully this' and 'hopefully that'. Playing the hopefully game with the virus is going to be costly.
The USA and the West had been underestimating China for far too long. They assume China is still far behind in high tech developments, because they had been isolating China from participating in developments in space technology, jet engines, rocketry, missile technology and were therefore snugly confident that China is not and will never be a threat. Now the realisation hits home, but is it too little too late to know that.
They as asking how did China managed to land their probe on Mars? How did China managed to build their own space station. Now do not say that China stole those technology because China was never allowed participation in their space station project in the first place. So, China went on it's own and showed the USA and the West they are capable of doing do it by themselves.
Now, China has also succeeded in their own jet engine development and are experimenting with plasma and ion jet propulsion engines. Their expertise is almost on par with the West.
Do not underestimate China's ability to succeed in high end chip development as well. Give them another five years and they will be competing with the West, Japan and South Korea for the high end chip market. The current short term banning of companies from letting China have access to high end chips is going to turn into a blessing in disguise for China. China would not have set their sights on becoming independent in high end chips by relying on the West, Japan and South Korea had Trump not banned such companies from providing China with those high end chips.
China has announced to stop importing chips from the West. It is now manufacturing its own chips.
Chipmakers in Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are going to get fried. Who created those problems for them? Donald Trump of course. Now they have to get help from Donald, who was the one who threw them under the bus.
Never think that siding with the USA is a sure win bet. The throwback could be painful.
