Anything that the USA proposed with allies is to counter
China. Is there anything that you can think of that is not to counter
China? The IME corridor will just die of old age, long after Joe Biden
is gone. In the context of USA's foreign policy, all hot airs invariably
ends with the change of the Presidency. They will either pass new laws,
acts or executive orders to null those agreements, or else just walk
away, knowing they do not have to face consequences. Therefore, beware
of the 'Empire of Lies'.
During the COVID19 outbreak, even
vaccine was used as a weapon to counter China. When Chinese vaccines
were sent to help poor countries, vaccine diplomacy as they call it, it
was not agreeable to the USA. So the USA coerce India to counter China
by using 'Indian Vaccine' diplomacy, which India gleefully carried out.
India then was touted as the vaccine hub of the world. The result was
that India was producing vaccines not to take care of its domestic
market, but exporting them just to counter China.
What happened
next was that India was caught with its pants down when a new variant
spread so rapidly that it killed many Indians because there was a lack
of vaccines. When India pleaded with the USA for help, all kinds of
excuses were given. It was not until other countries started to give
help to India, that the USA finally saw its position being compromised
in the eyes of the world, that it decided to help by allowing the
manufacture of its vaccines. By then, hundreds of thousands already lost
their lives.
Oops, forgot to mention that this is also in line
with Henry Kissinger's quote - To be an enemy of the USA is dangerous,
to be its friend is fatal. That I think fits perfectly with what India, a
so called friend of the USA went through, after carrying out the USA's
vaccine diplomacy to counter China. Have India learnt its lesson.
Obviously not!

To India, white man is their master and has to be obeyed. The British did a damn good job inculcating this behaviour in Indians.
ReplyDeleteChina unwilling to lend to an empire that prints money; Singapore forewarned
ReplyDeleteChina is a significant creditor of the US.
The US possesses the power to "print money," which it uses to sustain Washington's audacious habit of borrowing and spending recklessly, exemplifying its dominant "style" of hegemony.
US debt has now reached an alarming height - $33 trillion! That amounts to $100,000 per American across the nation! What's even more concerning is its growth rate, with an increase of $10 trillion in three years! That means $833 million is being added to the debt every hour since it crossed the $33 trillion mark.
The US' containment of China, particularly through creating military tensions in China's neighborhood, as well as the overall restriction on Chinese manufacturing and its impact on the livelihoods of the Chinese people, has heightened China's worry about the US reneging on its debts.
China's National Day, which falls on October 1, is just around the corner. For the Chinese people, September 30 marks the start of a seven-day holiday following the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The hardworking Chinese people, who are about to enjoy a wonderful holiday, know that they work hard for the well-being of their families. If their hard-earned money were to be used to prop up an empire's hegemonic and brutal actions, as well as an unsympathetic political struggle, and then they were to be paid back in the form of "printed money," they would definitely say "no."
China cuts its holdings of US Treasury bonds for a fourth consecutive month in July to $821.8 billion, a 14-year low. Singapore still holds $186.1 billion of US Treasury bonds, a not insignificant amount, and ranked 15th largest holder of US Treasury bonds.
It seems many countries cannot live without the White men lording over them.
ReplyDeleteIndia is still beset with the mental block clouding their colonial past. Philippines is still deeply entrenched and seems to relish its position as a colonial ruled outback. Vietnam is still flirting with the return of its colonial past nightmare. While all this is happening, Africa, of all places is trying to clear its mental block of the past under colonialism.
By the way, the question that some people are asking is why does the Indonesian people not speak any Dutch after being ruled by the Dutch for three centuries. Strangely, only Indonesia seems to have discarded its colonial past. Indonesians really have backbones.
At $33 trillion, the interest is $1 trillion a year for the Americans to pay.
ReplyDeleteHow big is $1 trillion? Singapore's GDP is about $300 billion.
India's GDP is about $4 trillion.
The whole of Asean's GDP maybe about $1-2 trillion.
The coming U.S. financial system collapse is real! The debt that the U.S. owe the world is unsustainable and the Americans never have any intention to repay the debt. They are scheming to use wars to erase the debt.
ReplyDeleteThat the USA's financial system collapse is real is also inevitable.
ReplyDeleteThat is why countries like China, Russia, Saudi Arabia among others have seen the oncoming train wreck and are moving seriously forward with de-dollarisation. Such a move will temper the effect of the collapse of the US$ hegemony to a certain extent, rather than facing the full force of the blow.
That is also why China is now more confident of retaliating against the USA's technological squeeze. China is fast catching up in its high end chip research and development, which is why China is taking a more forceful retaliative action in controlling its rare earth exports, moving away from reliance on foreign chipmakers, even banning chips from Micron, which it was not able to do, not until it found its direction in realising its 7 nm chip mass production capabilities. Most of all, it is reported than 90% of what is inside the Huawei mate 60 is all Chinese components, that will be 100% soon.
The days of foreign chip makers dominating the Chinese market is ending for good.
