It is naive for the West headed by the United States to think they can revisit the Opium War era 'Gun Boat on China again with impunity.
In the last over ten years from about 2010, the West headed by US has been very hostile to China and the Chinese people. The US hostilities towards China accelerated in 2015 and picked up momentum during dotard Trump's presidency and continues now even more viciously into Joe Biden's administration. They are behaving like savage wild dogs gnashing their teeth at China, demonizing China endlessly with wild fabricated accusations and carrying out various extreme provocations from sanctions, trade tariffs, high tech blockades and conducting dangerous provocative naval and aerial surveillance very close to Chinese shores and islands. Do they stupidly think they can revisit the 'Gun Boat Policy" on China again with impunity. Have they become comatose and gone berserk with insanity. They are trying to play fire with the Dragon not knowing this time round if they try to trivialise with China they will be badly burnt and destroyed.
From the 1830s to 1950s when China was weak and poor the West including the United States look down upon China and the Chinese people, describing the Chinese people in the most derogatory terms, associating Chinese with the dogs and claiming that the Chinese are subhuman incapable of any scientific and technological progress. That's an outright arrogant besmirching and demonizing of the Chinese people. Time will show they will have to swallow the insulting things they said about the Chinese people.
It is important to point out that before the 1830s and before the evil bellicose white people came to China, the Chinese people and and nation was a living example of richness and gloriousness with rich scientific background. For thousands of years China's civilization and scientific and technological prowess radiates throughout the world. ( NB: For details of the richness of Chinese ancient science and technology please read Professor Joseph Needham's work on the subject as he had written volumes of books on ancient Chinese science and technology; and had once said, "All modern science and technology has its basic foundation in China." In passing I would just like to mention the European Renaissance in the Middle Age was kindled or took place because the Europeans were stirred up and aroused by the descriptions of the wonders of China by Marco Polo as well as Chinese scientific works brought to Europe by the Mongols and the Arabs. The Europeans were all fired up and started to learn in earnest a lot of Chinese science and technology indirectly from the Mongols and the Arabs who once controlled the vast land mass from China to Europe. Before the Renaissance the European barbaric tribes were still living in the Dark Ages of ignorance when they were still wild and savage and warlike and where the many European tribes were always engaged in fighting for dominance.
China had always been attacked by the barbarian hordes, the nomadic Hsiung Nu, Mongol and Turkish tribes from the landmass in the north and west of China. But the new European barbarians came to attack China from the sea in which the Chinese had never expected. Moreover in the early 19th century when the British started a war on China to force China to open up for opium trade China lost the war and all subsequent wars imposed by the European countries. China lost all the wars because the Europeans had more powerful guns and cannons which outranged the Chinese ones. Basically the Chinese had always used their guns and cannons in religious ceremonies to frighten ghosts and spirits and not for killings in war. So the Chinese were too complacent and had never make any improvement to their guns and cannons. Thus the Europeans who learnt how to make guns and cannons from the Mongols were able to improve their power and range.
From the 1830s to 1940s whenever China lost the wars to the invading Europeans, China was forced to pay huge war indemnities of hundreds of millions of Chinese silver dollars to each and every of the invading European country which later were to include the U.S. and Japan. It was these huge war indemnities that impoverished China for over a hundred years. China was still paying the war indemnities until the establishment of the People's Republic of China on October 1st 1949, when Chairman Mao stopped the payment, considering it illegal and unwarranted.
China is now again at the cross roads of danger. With over hundred years of shame and humiliation suffering from Western and Japanese aggression still strongly embedded in Chinese minds, the West headed by the United States still think fit of trying to tear the Chinese down again. China and the Chinese people have yet to take revenge on the past atrocities, great destructions and lost of her lands that China sufferred at their hands and here they are again threatening China and the Chinese people with hostilities and endless hostile provocations. But surely they know they are facing a different China now. Today's China is like the mighty mythical Dragon spouting with intense fire ready to destroy all trouble makers and aggressors. But one thing is certain China and the Chinese people will never be bullied and trampled again. We Chinese are a peaceful people. We believe in helping all other poor countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to achieve all round success in a win win situation for our common economic prosperity.
Then what are the reasons for the West wanting at this juncture to pick a fight with the new indomitable Dragon. Below is an article forwarded to me via WhatsAPP, an article written by an American professor who shares with the world an inkling into the illogical insane minds of the West headed by the United States who are bent on warmongering to achieve their objective of world domination and hegemony. The United States is picking on China as an enemy because China is a stumbling block to its diabolical objective for world domination and hegemony.
Professor Dennis Etler : American political analyst who holds a doctorate in anthropology from the university of California, Berkeley.
The article : As I See It. ---------------------------------
"Why is it the West is so preoccupied with China? The usual answer is that China's economic growth is challenging Western global hegemony which has held sway for at least 250 years. The Chinese military has also reached parity with that of the West, so it is no longer subject to Western intimidation and bullying. All that is true and reason for the West to want to savage China and portray it as the root of all evil.
But there is one other consideration that must be taken into account. It is not only China's economic prowess and military might that frightens the West, it is also China's success as a nation versus the West failure.
Moreover, China has forged a society in which there is harmony between its different ethnicities in contrast to the systemic racism that characterizes Western society.
Western ruling eliites and their media mouthpieces do not want to acknowledge the fact that China has eliminated extreme poverty while more and more of their own people descend into poverty. They do not want to admit that China has constructed a 21st century infrastructure while they lag far behind. They do not want to confront the fact that the Chinese people overwhelmingly support their government while people in the West have lost confidence in their own, they do not want to accept that China beat COVID-19 while they haven't, and finally they are loathe to accept the fact that a non-white nation has outperformed them and will continue to do so into the forseeable future.
In order to deflect attention away from these truths the West has concocted a series of lies and slanders that allow them to deny reality. Instead of poverty alleviation the West imagines "genocide." Instead of the advances in HSR, EVs, alt-energy and e-commerce they focus on "IP theft", instead of a socioeconomic system that serves the people, they accused China of forced labor and forced sterilizations. Instead of seeing China as defending its sovereignty in the South China Sea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, it's called an aggressor.
All the China-bashing serves multiple purposes but one of the main reasons is to make sure that people in the West do not get to hear nor see what the real China is all about because if they did they may get ideas that the Western elites don't want them to have, such as socialism works for the betterment of the 99% while capitalism works primarily to enrich the 1% elites."
End Of Article.
Professor Dennis Etler and many of his other American professors like Jeffrey Sachs, Richard Wolffe and Christopher Black are peace loving people who denounce wars and Western aggressions. They are realists and pragmatists who preach for world peace and harmony of all people on this earthly world. We all have a duty and responsibility to spread their goodwill around. For a start after reading Professor Dennis Etler's article please forward it to as many friends and relatives as possible wherever they may be since it is from the eyes of a prominent American professor.

The West is extremely paranoid and\fearful of letting it's people see the real China - the progress, the infrastructure, the soft power it is exhibiting by helping poor countries rise from poverty. All peaceful measures and not tailored towards warmongering and destruction.
In essence and the thinking of the West, the Communist system must always play second fiddle to democracy and not overtake it, as that will unravel the centuries of the myth that democracy is always the better system. That system in USA has mothed into one that marginalized and cannibalized the poor and middle class to favour the super rich, whose contributions to the Presidential campaigns set the agenda, all of which is to help the rich get richer and control all the wealth of the country.
But the days of denying information is over with the digital age, where real information cannot be concealed to those that seek to know. Propaganda only works when information is within the control of the perpetrator.
Why do some American Sinophobes seem to want a US-China war, and are doing their damndest to set one up?
If you don’t want a military conflict with China, then don’t encircle it, provoke it and wilfully misunderstand its motives. Beijing is not seeking world domination, but the continuing rejuvenation of its nation.
Two hawkish American academics, Michael Beckley and Hal Brands, have been relentless in their anti-China op-eds over the past few weeks. In a number of publications, including Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy and now The Atlantic, as well as spin-offs on Bloomberg, their pieces all strike a very similar pessimistic tone, that the prospect of a US war with China is becoming more likely as the so-called “strategic window” which Beijing has to establish itself as a global power is closing.
The latest piece argues that in lieu of these goals and a changing geopolitical context, China is a “revisionist state” that is preparing to resort to war in order to seal its territorial claims, dominate East Asia and then move onwards to the world.
Using the historical precedent of how China has utilized force to respond to potential fear of encirclement from foreign powers, including the Korean (1950-53), Indian (1962) and Sino-Vietnamese (1979) wars, the pair argue that Beijing, fearing a new encirclement and on seeing a narrowing window for its goals, may respond forcefully to seal its stakes on Taiwan or islands in the South and East China seas, and that it has less economic incentive for peace than it has had in the past four decades.
Is war really inevitable? Will China be compelled to respond by force in the end? This is a frequent question tossed about in mainstream commentary, and developments such as the AUKUS military alliance are not helping it. However, it should be noted that Beckley and Brands are notorious China pessimists, whose recent works give Gordon Chang, author of the 2001 tome The Coming Collapse of China a run for his money. All three believe that the game is up for the Communist party when it comes to the country’s economy and prospects for productive diplomacy.

Thanks to both Comrade Anonymous 10:03am and 10:12am for your knowledgeable comments.
Both of your comments are very useful, important and relevant. They help those not so well informed to understand better the evil intentions of the U.S. and the West vis-a-vis China and the Chinese people. They reinforce the facts and the truth that 'My Singapore News' is trying to convey to the world especially on international issues concerning the non-white countries and people vis-a-vis the insidious white supremacist of the West headed by the warmongering Anglo-Saxons the United States and England.
Hope more netizens can contribute their knowledgeable comments in 'My Singapore News.'

The evil and insecure West know that their control of the world is coming to an end and are desperately trying to smear China when all they did was to expose their bickering and warmongering behaviour for the world to see.
They took every opportunity, use every bit of their time and energy to want to pick a fight with China. Their savage behaviour is recorded everyday in the main media, in their own media.
During the last 500 years the Europeans or Caucasians white people went on a rampage to invade other non-white countries around the world. They enriched themselves by plundering the natives of their wealth,riches, mineral and agro resources. They ravaged the lands and killed and genocided the natives before taking over their lands as seen in North America, South America, Australia and New Zealand.
During the last few hundred years they viewed themselves as superior to all non-white people. But the fact is they got all the lands and the riches and wealth that go with it through the might of their firearms, their guns and cannons. They contributed nothing to the non-white countries except suffering, pain and death. They arrogantly assumed they the white people are superior to all non-white people and countries in which they have the divine right to hold in subjugation and absolute control. But these wild dreams of white superiority is now demolished with the rapid rise of China. China and the Chinese people are now helping all non-white countries around the world to achieve economic, scientific and technological progress and development.
The progress of China and other non-white countries is tearing down their paradigm that only white people are capable of economic, scientific and technological development. Thus to preserve their false and fake assumption of white superiority they have to find ways and means to take down China. But the Chinese train is too fast and if they try any mischief they will only destroy themselves. Well,so much for white supremacy and dominance. The end of white Anglo-Saxon American and Western domination is near and certain.

Capitalism in Singapore also serves only the top 1%. The top 1% of elites pay themselves by the $millions, while at the same time suppress the wages of common folks, and even deliberately deprived the masses of good-paying jobs.
This despicable and depraved capitalist system should be abolished for the good of the 99%.
The present Singapore government looks no different from Chiang Kai Shek's KMT government of the late 1920s to late 1940s around 1948. In Chiang Kai Shek's KMT there was a despicable useless pro American woman dictating to imbecile Chiang Kai Shek how to fix Chairman Mao and the CPC. In Singapore there is also a woman collecting unaccountable millions of dollars in secret sinecure by just dictating to the comatose government all the wrong policies and disastrous governance.
A Singapore proletariat and anti fake talent and capitalist exploitation
Since 2014, Singapore has been run by a ball-less Eunuch controlled by an Greedy, Ruthless and Despicable Empress from behind, exactly like during the Ching Dynasty period.
The self-enriching, Evil, Self-enriched Millionaire Mandarins serve the Ruthless Empress like those Mandarins of the Ching Dynasty.
The people are treated as digits and statistics in all situations, whether during a Pandemic or during a Financial Crisis.
During hard times, instead of lightening the loads of the masses by reducing prices and lowering taxes, the Ruthless Empress decreeds through the Evil Yes-Men Mandarins to impose more taxes and raise prices of essential goods, such as food products, and inrease prices of essential services, such as transportation. And also increase taxes.
The situation in Singapore today is exactly like what had happened during the Ching Dynasty time.
That's why the Ching Dynasty fell swift and furiously fast. It fell from grace to Disgrace and from honour to Dishonourable.
That's why Singapore is going to the runnung and barking dogs, poisonous snakes and blood-sucking vampires. That's why Singapore will fall very swiftly and suddenly in the not too distant future.
All the signs have been written on the wall along the road side, at bus stops and in public toilets all over Singapore.
ingapore mulls ways to remain magnet for wealthy investors after G20 corporate tax deal
After leaders of 20 of the world’s biggest economies endorsed a global minimum tax of 15 per cent on large multinational businesses, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong flagged the city state’s concerns about drawing in foreign investment.
Singapore would consider how to “modify” its tax incentives, Lee said in comments to reporters on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome.
“I foresee there will be tougher competition for us. But we will take it in our stride,” he said.
Singapore has a corporate tax rate of 17 per cent but its Economic Development Board has long offered priority investors grants and other schemes that reduce the effective rate to as little as 4 per cent in some cases. Its political stability and strong legal system are also factors that have incentivised billionaires including Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and hotpot chain Haidilao boss Zhang Yong to sink their roots in Singapore, snapping up flashy properties in the process.
While Singapore does not have wealth taxes, there are growing discussions of the topic as the city state seeks ways to meet higher social expenditure to address a growing wealth gap and the needs of its rapidly ageing population.
Singapore has consistently been the top destination for foreign capital inflows in Southeast Asia. According to a United Nations investment report, the city state accounted for 67 per cent of total investments in the region last year, with US$91 billion worth of capital inflow.
According China historical cycles observations, the Chinese civilization usually advance for 500-600 years to be followed by a 100-200 years contraction, and then another 500-600 years advance.
China is today clearly in the first few decades of another 500-600 years advance cycle after the last 100-Year Humiliation.
Professor Kishore Mahbubani lecture on US China relations 2 weeks ago
The US is totally focus on extreme capitalism to catter to the elites though its capitalist system is in decline and the elites feel very insecure. So the US has to use its nuclear power to protect its global hegemony.
On the contrary China concentrates on social socioeconomic growth and Chinese people are confident of the government's ability to deliver good governance. At the same time unlike US and the West which use nuclear arms for aggression and world hegemony, China uses its nuclear power only to safeguard its national security.
This shows the two different purpose of nuclear arms between the warmongering West and a peaceful rising China.
Long live China and the Chinese people. Death to the West and the Anglo-Saxons.
A proud and respectable Chinese Malaysian
The Evil Empire, US still wants to interfere in China's internal affairs. It is still interferring in the unfinished Chinese civil war. It is insane when it thinks it can defend the Chinese traitors in Taiwan's DPP party. If US creates a war in Taiwan it will be sorely defeated and that will serve to put the nails in the coffin of USA hegemony immediately.
It seems warmonger imperialist Anglo-Saxon United States haven't learnt any lesson from its defeats in the Korean War 1950-1953, Vietnam War 1965-1974 and Afghanistan War 2001-2021.

US Fake One-China Policy Exposed, Won't Accept China-Taiwan Reunification
The US often puts on a disguise to claim that a solution to the Taiwan question requires mutual agreement from both sides of the Straits.
But US Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro on Thursday made contradicting remarks, revealing that the US does not accept cross-Straits reunification at all, through whatever means.
Del Toro said that China is the US' "most significant pacing threat" and "China's intent to one day take over Taiwan, either peacefully or through military means, has a most serious impact on our economic security."
China Will Persecute Taiwan Secessionists Life Long for Criminal Liability
China on Friday announced specific measures to punish diehard Taiwan secessionists - Taiwanese Premier Soo Tsing-tshiong, Legislative Yuan president You Si-kun and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, including prohibiting them and their families from entering the mainland and the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions, and restricting their associated institutions from cooperating with organizations and individuals in the mainland for economic benefits, and they will be persecuted for life long for criminal liability.
Beijing would not allow the companies or paymasters of these diehard secessionists to profit from Chinese mainland, and will also take other measures to punish them.
The move on Friday is just the beginning to hold Taiwan island secessionists accountable, and shows that China is taking concrete measures on laws to remove obstacles to the complete reunification of the country. Those who attempt to split the island of Taiwan - the last symbol of China's 100-Year Humiliation - from the motherland would have no place to hide, and will face a life-long pursuit for their crimes.
“They are colluding with external forces to split the country and severely undermine cross-strait relations,” Beijing spokeswoman Zhu Fenglian said. “We are warning these diehard secessionists that those who forget their heritage, betray their motherland, and seek to split the country will come to no good end and will be disdained by the people and condemned by history. The Chinese mainland will seek criminal responsibility for them, valid for life.”
The Chinese people would give no mercy in dealing with the scum who forget their heritage and betray the motherland. The limitation of prosecution in the Criminal Law is usually beyond 20 years, while a lifelong period for secessionists on the island of Taiwan shows that no matter where these secessionists hide and no matter how long they hide after reunification, they would be hunted down.
Soo and You responded with defiance. “We will continue fighting for Taiwan. This is what we are supposed to do and we will not be threatened,” Soo said. In a Facebook post, You said it was an honour to be banned by the mainland.
But their courage may only be words, and they will remain scared as their relatives who have relations with the mainland would also be penalized.
The measures announced Friday would prevent two-faced individuals from making money from the mainland while damaging the interests of the Chinese people. Some individuals in the island of Taiwan are making personal gains from the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations, but fooling the residents in the island and claiming to "seek independence for the benefit to Taiwan."
For example, DPP "legislator" Ho Chih-wei, whose family business Sunny Bank is controlled by his mother and stepfather, owns a Taiwan-funded financial leasing company in the mainland, while Ho advocates secession in Taiwan and called the mainland a "rival country," according to Taiwan-based experts.
Some Taiwan TV dramas sponsored by secessionist Sanlih Entertainment Television in Taiwan is shown on the mainland, they noted.
The Union Bank of Taiwan, the family business of the founder of secessionist newspaper Liberty Times Lin Rong-San, is also operating in the mainland with credit card and UnionPay card services.
Carlos Del Tor and USA must be told to go and fu---the spiders. It's time Russia, China, North Korea and Iran help to liberate the African and Mexican Americans to rise up and form their own independent states in the US and help the native Hawaiians to drive out the Anglo-Saxon invaders from Hawaii so as to gain back their islands and independence. Also send arm forces and military help to Cuba to drive out the evil empire from occupying Cuba's Guantanamo province.
Death to imperial United States and the Anglo-Saxons.
Anti white imperialist
The evil white men have for centuries been practising the divide and rule strategy to rule the world. They would do everything they could to keep China and the Koreas divided.
China better wakes up and be tough to the evil white men, including those in Europe. They are so slimy and smelly and it is time to keep their asses.
China must declare that the presence of American soldiers in Taiwan province is unacceptable under Chinese law and should send a team to evict them out of Taiwan by force. Taiwan is part of China and no foreign soldier is allowed inside China's province of Taiwan.
Evil white men spoke in fork tongues.
Preparing For War With US as Tensions Rise in Taiwan Strait
China has granted the central leadership under President Xi Jinping greater control over mobilization for national defense without having to go through time-consuming legislative processes, as tensions escalate with the U.S. over Taiwan and Beijing prepares for military contingencies.
The changes will allow, for instance, the leadership to swiftly amend the National Defense Mobilization Law and broaden the age groups of civilians it would recruit when on a war footing.
Amendments to such laws typically involve two or three rounds of discussion by the National People's Congress's Standing Committee, China's parliament, which meets roughly every one to two months.
Last month, the NPC Standing Committee adjusted the amendment process for four laws -- the National Defense Mobilization Law, the Civil Air Defense Law, the National Defense Transportation Law and the National Defense Education Law -- to concentrate powers in the central leadership.
The National Defense Mobilization Law stipulates that men aged 18 to 60 and women aged 18 to 55 can be mobilized for national defense purposes if "state sovereignty, unification, territorial integrity or security is threatened."
The recent decision will let the top leadership expand the age groups, for example, without going through the NPC.
China is also stepping up military recruitment efforts. Xi, who chairs the Central Military Commission, in October approved the extension of medical benefits to military personnel's parents, spouses and spouses' parents, the People's Liberation Army Daily reports. They will receive priority care at nearby facilities as well.
Donbass in Ukraine to Russia is the equivalent of Taiwan to China. Two regions that are being stirred up by the USA and EU to create conflict for Russia and China.
Russia is preparing and waiting for Ukraine to invade Donbass to justify putting Ukraine back under Russian control. Here in East Asia, China is playing the same game of waiting for an opportunity to justify it's Taiwan adventure.
