Biden is warning China not to back Russia in Ukraine during Putin and
Xi's meeting in Beijing or face an embarrassing situation. That
spokeswoman of the White House keeps repeating that Russia will face
very serious consequences and that the USA have all the tools to make
Russia pay if they invade Ukraine. I imagine Putin must be shivering in
his pants.
Does the USA really thinks China and Russia care two
hoots what he thinks? China today does not care what the USA thinks,
neither does Russia.
Remember when Trump started the trade war
with China by imposing high tariffs on Chinese imports, he warned China
not to retaliate. Imagine slapping someone and telling him he must not
retaliate? Well China retaliated and USA citizens are paying the price
of more expensive stuff from China.
Trump claims he is
collecting more money from those tariffs, but he is not telling his own
citizens that they are in fact paying for it. It was a tax more or less
on them, period. With those tariffs, China has collected even more money
from the USA today than before the trade war.
The USA had been
bullying smaller countries for decades and dictating to them like master
to slave, but now finds Russia and China a different proposition. The
USA could not dictate anymore and is like a fish out of water in a
totally new environment. It is time for them to get used to it.

What a great joke! Telling China not to side with Russia over the NATO-Caused Ukraine issue?
They called Joe Biden as Joker Biden not for nothing.
Threats after threats, after threats. Sanctions after sanctions, after sanctions. Invasion after invasion, after invasion. War after war, after war.
Those are the characteristics of a big bully, the Mafia USA.
The evil USA is the Biggest and Most Horrendous organised criminal organisation in the world, not the Police of the World, as it would like other countries and people to believe.
Good Moring All,
This is the article "Seven Years between China and the United States" written by American columnist Thomas Friedman. It is very worthwhile for every Chinese to take a serious look
The New York Times of the United States shocked the comparison between China and the United States, and caused a sensation among the top officials of the White House!
The famous New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman wrote an article entitled "Seven Years between China and the United States", which was published in the New York Times and shocked the White House!
He wrote: "As I sit in my seat at a Chinese venue and enjoy the magical performance of thousands of Chinese dancers, drummers, singers and acrobats on stilts, I can't help but think back to the past seven years. Different experiences in the US: China has been busy with all kinds of infrastructure work, and we have been busy with al Qaeda (terrorists); they have been building better stadiums, subways, airports, roads, and parks, and we have been In building better metal detectors, Humvees, and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft...
Differences are already starting to show. You can compare New York's squalid LaGuardia airport to Shanghai's sleek international airport. As you drive to Manhattan, you realize how rundown the infrastructure is along the way. Experience Shanghai's 220-mile-per-hour maglev train, which uses electromagnetic propulsion technology instead of ordinary steel wheels and tracks. In the blink of an eye, you have arrived in downtown Shanghai. Then ask yourself: Who exactly lives in a third world country?

In my opinion: as a modern country, China has accepted the main concepts of modern national sovereignty and human rights. But the characteristics of Chinese civilization make it unique. One of the characteristics of China's development model is: learning + innovation + scale effect from huge population = impact on China and the world. Many foreign companies investing in China have a slogan that if they can be the first in China, they can be the first in the world.
With the rise of China, this trend is beginning to expand to more and more fields, such as tourism, aviation, film and television, sports, education, new energy, modernization models, high-speed rail, etc.
Some of us are more envious of the life of a small country with few people. In fact, a small country has the difficulties of a small country. Small countries cannot withstand storms, but big countries have much more room for maneuver when they encounter storms.
Chile is a relatively developed developing country, but a major earthquake in 2010 caused a large drop in GDP, and the entire economy may be out of breath for two years. Even if China encounters such a big natural disaster as the Wenchuan earthquake, the entire economy will suffer. The country's economy remains stagnant.
For most countries, industrial upgrading often means relocating industries to foreign countries, and China can carry out large-scale industrial gradient transfers within itself, which prolongs the life cycle of China's manufacturing industry.

Culture - The collision of Chinese and Western cultures over the past three decades has not caused most Chinese people to lose their cultural confidence. The Confucian craze, Laozi craze, chanting craze, calligraphy and painting craze, tea ceremony craze, old house craze, cultural relic craze, traditional Chinese medicine craze, and health care craze among Chinese people today all reflect the revival of traditional Chinese culture.
The catering culture, health preservation culture and leisure culture derived from the Chinese culture are also incomparable to other cultures. Street restaurants anywhere in China can make 30 or 40 kinds of dishes, while most restaurants in the United States only have hamburgers and potato chips, and it is good to have three or four dishes. European restaurant dishes are richer, but rarely more than seven or eight varieties.
Some of us are always worried that the Chinese lack religious sentiment. In fact, anyone who is a little familiar with world history knows that religious conflicts in human history have led to countless wars. The conflict between Christian denominations and between Christianity and Islam alone has a history of thousands of years, resulting in human tragedies in which countless lives were killed. Therefore, our people do not necessarily have to believe in religion.

Economy --- Economics in the traditional Chinese sense is not "market economics" strictly speaking, but "people-oriented economics". In China's long history, if a government cannot develop the economy, improve people's livelihood, and handle catastrophes well, it will lose the support of the people, lose the "mandate of heaven", and eventually be overthrown by the people.
Today's political parties in China are a continuation of the historically unified Confucian ruling bloc tradition, not Western political parties that compete with each other on behalf of different interest groups. Many people in the West only agree with the legitimacy of the regime arising from multi-party competition, which is a very shallow political concept.
I once met an American scholar who questioned the legitimacy of the Chinese regime, and I asked him why he didn't question the legitimacy of his own country first: you took other people's land, colonized, immigrated, and exterminated Indians to form today's America . I asked him to explain to me where is the legitimacy and legitimacy of such a country? In the end, he could only tell me that this is history.
So, can we question the source of the legitimacy of Western regimes with China’s concept of “selecting the best and appointing the best”? Bush’s eight years in power brought economic recession to the United States, annihilation to Iraq, and disaster to the world The financial tsunami brought about is an example.
The biggest feature of China's historical legitimacy is the political tradition of "selecting the best and appointing the able" and governing the country with "the people's hearts turn against their backs".

In Chinese political culture, the concepts of "a game of chess in the whole country" and "if one side is in trouble, all sides will support it" cannot be produced by other cultures. I have discussed the Chinese model with Indian scholars. They said that on the surface, China is centralized, but each reform in China actually has strong local characteristics, which compete with each other and complement each other, so the Chinese system is better than that of India. The system is more dynamic.
They have learned from the West and have established a strong modern government system, but at the same time they have their own unique political and cultural resources. The combination of the two makes it easier for us to overcome the populism, shortsightedness, and legalism that plague Western democracies today. And other issues.
At the political level, many in the West also take it for granted that as the Chinese middle class grows, China will also accept the Western confrontational political model. But they also discovered today that today's Chinese middle class seems to value China's political stability more than any other class. They understand that the "democratization" of the West has brought chaos and turmoil to many countries, and that their hard-earned wealth accumulation has actually benefited from China's more than three decades of political stability.
Frankly speaking, what China has shown today cannot be summed up by the overly simple or even crude concepts of "advanced" and "backward", "democracy" and "dictatorship", "high human rights" and "low human rights". "

I think it was Turkey that said that the USA does not want peace in Eastern Europe. Turkey is a member of NATO, therefore that comment coming from them is a clear indication of the true behavior of the USA. They want instability and war, not peace.
All that talk about wanting to calm the situation by all those diplomats like Macron is all hubris. In the final decision, it is the USA pulling the strings and they want war, even to create war using fabricated evidence and sending troops and weapons to back up NATO. Is that the face of a country that wants peace? They are in fact stoking the flames of war and pouring fuel over fire. They just want to embolden NATO to fight the Russians for their benefit.
The USA is the most hypocritical country in behavior and action, untrustworthy as allies of NATO, cannot be depended upon to honour words and agreements, and that is why Russia demanded a written agreement under the UN, stipulating that NATO would not continue to expand on the borders of Russia and threatening it's security. Of course the USA cannot agree, as Biden is facing sliding support with the mid term elections looming.
The days of cowering countries like Iraq and Libya are over for the USA. Even North Korea is not a shivering wreck under Trump's threat of having a bigger nuclear button to press.
Both parties, Democrats and Republicans, cannot appear weak under scrutiny by their voters and yet does not have the means to tackle Russia and China together. The USA is stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. On top of that the world is getting more discerning, especially in South America, Africa, Middle East and Central Asia after seeing what China is doing to help them rise up. The days of the USA dictating unilaterally to the rest of the world is over.
Mere assumptions. Misleading the public with the main objective to push more people into getting jabbed and jabbed and jabbed with the mRNA fake vaccines.
Personal interest shows overwhelmingly in each of the Facebook posts without fail.
The Old Idiot with his perpetual smile can he writtened off. He only matters to the Americunts.
Btw,
Donald Tramp will deal with him for power and vanity. Both shall bring the US to greater height of internal discord and chaos.
The US is diverse in most features including race, income-gap, belief and resource in different states. It is not homogenous nor a melting pot for all, it is a hot-pot of competition and chaos.
As for China and the Chinese Tribe, so long as the Chinese Civilization stays fidel to their Core Virtue and Value of
Propriety, lntegrity and Righteousness, it shall prevail.
The World can witness the Reality and will be able to discern the Difference between Benignity and Malignancy.

Thanks Virgo, will put up tomorrow.
In Imperial China the best people are inducted into the ruling elites after they have passed the imperial exams. Though such a system is no more, those that took the reins of power today have to rise from the bottom and are not instant Presidential or Ministerial material.
In USA they tell you that in their democratic system, anyone can become President, but the reality is that the opportunity to rule is only available to the very rich who can afford the resources to run their campaigns. The fact that donations can be allowed is putting the system into more questions regarding partisan interest and lobbying by donors.
S'pore PAP system is the closest to Imperial China scholar examinations & ministerial system.
No wonder Singapore is so successful & go from 3rd world to 1st world in one generation.
Most sinkies now bring home 5 figures each month. Some like WSG & Matilah can even shake leg & suntan & collect 6 figures yearly.
Even if GKS alive, he will also say the same thing as Kee Chiu. Not much anybody can do to change the reality in the last 40 years.
Apart from banking & finance, the other in-demand skills and jobs are hard to learn & hard to do e.g. coding, AI, robotics, advanced engineering, high-end semiconductors, advanced healthcare.
And for banking & finance, you have to go in when young, else tough to build a good career as mid-career, apart from sales jobs e.g. broker, insurance.
How come third world villagers from dilapidated schools, with poorly educated and trained teachers could do it, very good in IT and banking and finance but first world straight As students from world best universities could not, not good enough?
