The USA talks so much about wanting to de-couple or
de-risk from China, yet the USA Commerce Secretary just crawled to China
to talk about what? Begging for Gallium perhaps or allowing part of
Tianjin Port to be leased to Mongolia? Talking about one thing and doing
another is their forte. That is the USA's way of conducting diplomacy
and expect others to believe in them.
China couldn't care two
hoots about the USA hallucinating about decoupling or derisking and
should not be taking too much interest in the visit. Too much of the
same vile tactic is not going to work. Of course China knows how to
conduct its diplomacy and will accommodate her visit, but will not be
obliged to believe in her rhetoric. China knows very well that after the
visit the USA will raise issues about China, eg the forced
assimilation of Children in Tibet. Oh, I am sorry they already did
that before the visit, together with sanctions imposed, just days before
her trip to Beijing. How co-incidental!
It really is eye opening
that they could find so many issues to harp upon, some probably
invented or plucked from thin air, just like the imaginary wealth they
created out of thin air. Incidentally I came across one episode of Perry
Mason in a rerun, where one mobster was telling his men to dig out the
dirt on the accused, and if he cannot find any, invent them. That is how
the USA works and is the modus operandi from top to bottom.

PS. The Americans started all the shit hurling. People living in glass houses should not throw stones.
Just like papies raising gst & tell daft sinkies, we are going to help you..bla..bla..bla
ReplyDeleteThe claim that GST is to help the poor takes the cake.
ReplyDeleteJust consider this. The poor basically do not have to pay income tax, and so does the jobless, non working ederly, and non working adults. But these people have to pay GST, from conception to eternity, long after they died. So, is GST helping the poor? I do not swallow that hubris.
