State Terrorism - Can you imagine they spike food and drinks, embedded explosives in your mails and parcels

 The terrorist war has reached a new level. This time it is real and not committed by small Muslim terrorist groups groomed and funded by the Americans. It is State Terrorism, in Lebanon, fully approved and supported by the Americans and the West. No condemnation from the western media. No condemnation from American and western states. Even white supremacist scholar John Mearsheimer talked about it like it was another way of eating lunch.

This reckless and indiscriminate planting of explosives in commercial products has gone too far. It is going to cripple the the lives of people of the world, crash the supply chains, close down manufacturing plants and factories. It is going to create fear and distrust of consumer products.

One more step, if they are to spike food and drinks with poison, to embed explosives in mails and parcels, the world would come to a stand still. The savages that believe in war, thrive on war, profit from war as a business, would not know when to stop.

The world is entering a very dangerous phase. It does not need a hot nuclear war to undermine human activities, security and safety. The world would be in disarray, everyone living in fear, fear of everything they touch and use.

And the warmongering American terrorists and their ruthless mafia gangs are led loose to destroy the world but pointing a finger at China and Russia for being aggressive and a threat to the world. And the dull and unthinking still believing in this American Anglo Saxon mischievous lie. China is not at war with any country! China is not threatening any country. It is the Americans, the Israelis and the Anglo Saxon tribe that is at war with every country, threatening every country. Trump just threatened to raise tariffs by 100% on any country that de dollarised, refused to use the American dollar!

The Americans are peace loving people, protectors of human rights and democracy, the policemen of the world, to maintain peace in the world? To all the silly idiots, please raise your hands. Wake up before it is too late. The devils and demons are running amok.

Dollars not accepted in BRICS countries

Yes, dollars will not be accepted in BRICS countries and the Global South. There will be no need for the dollar. And no country will be stupid enough to want to have dollar as a reserve like in the past. The dollar is the most risky fiat currency. Not only that it can be snatched away by the Americans and white terrorists, it is going to become banana currency when the debt blows up with more and more printing to support needless and senseless war expenditure.

BRICS and Global South countries can buy anything they want from China and from themselves.  And the goods they need are cheaper and better and plentiful. Over production by China will ensure that BRICS and Global South countries would have everything they need and do not have to pay for an arm or a leg for overpriced and lesser value American and western goods. There is no need to trade with the Americans and the West anymore. For those countries that were sanctioned by the Americans and the West, there is no fear of being locked out from the world trading system like Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Burma and many others. An alternative world trading system is now available to buy and sell to.

What would happen to all the trillions and quadrillions of toilet papers, oops, American dollars floating around when they are not accepted in BRICS and the Global South countries? Be warned, dispose of the as soon as possible before they become worthless. 

When the dollar is valueless, not wanted, not accepted outside the white countries, the Americans and the West would not be able to afford to conduct wars against BRICS and the Global South countries. All the sanctions would be meaningless, futile.

The Americans and the Europeans would be very rich, with plenty of American dollars but nothing to buy. American dollars will not be accepted in BRICS and the Global South countries. This is coming and coming very fast!

Mass terrorism - Explosive devices embeded in electronic products...Be Warned!

 Pager explosions in Lebanon should wake up the world to how cyberattacks can be made against users of smartphones, computers and of course planes. Many suspect Israel with the USA involved, but of course they will deny. The USA was not involved in the Nord Stream bombing, right? Biden only said that he will get rid of it, and he had ways and means to do it.

The fingers are being pointed at Israel that had been involved in cyber warfare against Hamas and Hezbollah since the October 7th, 2023 attack by Hamas. Pagers are practically obsolete around the world, but being still used in Lebanon is a surprise. There may be a reason, but we do not know. It seems that a tiny high explosive had been inserted inside those pagers during production to enable such a big explosion. That is really a scary revelation if true.

What about smartphones, and laptops and even Boeing planes? I shudder to think about such scenarios.

Maybe it is time for me to buy smartphones and computers made in China and avoid travelling on Western made aircrafts. Now, perhaps it is time to ask where is Malaysian flight MH370 now. Not believing the officially fabricated news of plane parts being washed ashore here and there. They have all the time to plant evidence to muddy the waters.

Indian predatory strategy - The Chinese are learning. Has Singapore learn anything?

 BYD now intends to build a billion-dollar factory in Pakistan instead. Never say that Chinese companies are stupid and still wants to invest in India. Never try to tarnish all investors with the same tainted brush.

The Indian predatory strategy works only for a limited time. Once investors know that they are going in and getting clobbered, they will wise up. Those that are already there, they have little choice but to make the best of a bad situation until conditions become intolerable before calling it quits.

Having said that, some Western companies like Apple, thinking it will get preferential treatment, needed to test the waters first. And the result was not ideal, and Apple had to move some production back to China.

Modi has now been summoned to Washington to submit his report to the emperor about the happenings in BRICS. He must go to Washington once in a while to update the emperor, and this time is about what to expect in the BRICS summit in Kazan, Russia. Of course, other reasons will be fabricated to cover the mission.

Wonder if other BRICS members trust the Indians and avoid giving too much sensitive information about BRICS to be leaked. BRICS must beware of the Trojan Turkey intending to join the bloc. It must follow the saying - Once bitten twice shy.

The USA is now terrified of de-dollarization

 The USA is now, under the surface, terrified of de-dollarization. That is why Trump is admitting that the inevitable is going to happen, whether he likes it or not by threatening countries joining in the de-dollarization wagon.

Actually, the USA had been playing down de-dollarization threat, snug in the believe that it would not succeed with the US$ and SWIFT entrenched in the global financial system, but the reality is not in its favor. That is why it is nervous and paranoid. Biden would not want and avoided talking about the effect of de-dollarization, preferring to kick the can further down the road for the next leader to handle. Trump will have to handle it if he wins in November, which is why he is raising the issue and using threats to cow countries joining the de-dollarization move.

And to put it bluntly, the USA is quietly watching to see if the BRICS global currency and settlement system is going to work. The reality is that Russia, China and the rest of BRICS are going all out to make it work, and this is sending the USA into a furious attempt to counter it by using threats. It will not work.

US playbook of outsourcing to China backfired

 Follow the playbook is what they are told to do. Just like de-industrializing and outsourcing production to China thirty years ago and all they have to do was just print toilet papers to enjoy the finished products. What a grand idea then and a fairy tale that no other country ever thought of! But then, as with everything else, it backfired.

Today, the USA is frantically trying to' 'insource' production by going through the basics of setting up factories and attracting foreign manufacturers to help. Alas, it is too little too late. China controls most of the raw materials, the refining logistics, the cheap energy from Russia, the skilled workers, and has the competitive edge in every sector. Sure, the USA can become a hub for manufacturing, but who do they hope to sell to? They cannot produce products that are competitive enough to corner the Global South market. And China itself is a big market, but definitely beyond the USA to muscle in.

That means end of cheap products for USA citizens. The USA thinks that erecting tariffs will help, but it is making the situation even more dire. China will retaliate and if a push comes to a shove, China will ban essential raw materials required for the USA to industrialize. What then will the USA use to produce products without the raw materials. It is not as simple as printing toilet papers, where only ink and paper are required and just running the printing machines overtime.

George Galloway - Get rid of all your western origin electronic devices...including iPhones

 The world has just changed for the worse. The war in the Middle East is going to escalate to a regional war. The Americans, Brits and Nato would all be drawn into the war. And so would all the Arab and Muslim states.

Israel has just launched a mass terrorist war against Lebanon, and very likely against all the Arab and Muslim states in the region. All western origin devices, especially Apple iPhones, can be compromised and will be compromised. For the safety of everyone, get rid of all iPhones, all western made electronic devices at once. All the Arab and Muslim countries must be in a hurry to get rid of all such devices.  

Every piece is like carrying a time bomb!

Galloway said, it is so stupid for anyone to be carrying a western origin electronic device when they have declared that you are their enemy. iPhone is not just monitoring and spying on you. It can also explode in your face. and kill you. Apple is going to be finished in China. China would be forced to issue a complete ban on Apple iPhones and related electronic devices to protect the lives of its citizens. Apple can close down all its factories in China. This is not just a security threat but an existential threat beyond imagination. No Chinese leader would be caught with their pants down for not taking action on this threat.

Similarly, all the Arab and Muslim leaders are cornered to make the same decision to protect their people and themselves. American and western electronic devices are finished in the Middle East. No one would be stupid enough to want to risk their lives or risk having the device blowing up in their faces or in their pockets.

Israel has done it. It is now the Americans and the West on the side of Israel against the Arabs and Muslims and the rest of the world. 

Incidentally, the warmongering American terrorists have confirmed their mid range nuclear missiles would stay in the Philippines. So, what is China going to do?  Protest and protest and protest, or send their missiles to the Caribbeans or Latin America? The nuclear missiles in the Philippines is an existential threat to China. This is no joke. This is damn serious and cannot be ignored unlike the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade.

Mearsheimer and Sachs - American security is your insecurity

 

 

This is a good 54 minute conversation between two of the top American scholars on American policies towards China and world hegemony. John Mearsheimer's position of American security is to be the most power country in the world, with no one allowed to come near to be an equal. It is like occupying every square in a chess board, not allowing the opponent to have any square if possible. This arises from the savage instinct that if they did not kill and control others, others would do the same to them. The uncivilised white savages refused to be civilised and think others are uncivilised like them.

Jeffrey's Sachs' position is that this would lead to inevitable nuclear war. Mearsheimer agreed but being a realist, a savage in suit, this is what he stood for, absolute dominance and security. Sachs' position is that it should not be a zero sum game and America must allow other powers space like it wanted space for itself to have peace on earth. No one is a threat to the Americans, China is not a threat to the Americans.

Nuclear War is inevitable if the Americans were to push for absolute security by being the unchallenged hegemon as recommended by Mearsheimer, like what the Israelis are doing in the Middle East. The security of the Israelis is to wipe out the Palestinians and later all the Arabs in the region. The savage Americans applied this belief on the native Americans and wiped them out for their security in owning the American continent unchallenged.

The Americans are pushing ahead like Mearsheimer wanted them to, as the world's number dictator or terrorist state, to quash all potential challengers. The world is only safe for the Americans under the American Empire. Watch out Russia, China and Iran. The American terrorists are coming.

Oh, watch out for the little idiot in the clip, acting like he was a priest and everyone was evil except the Americans. He did not know the evil crimes the Americans committed and are committing around the world. And he craved for attention, demanding to be given time to speak when he was just a callefare, irrelevant. Sachs was quite pissed off with his ignorant and naive comments about China collapsing under Xi. 

In the end they all ignored him.

Virus and Vaccines - Another evil American scheme to make humongous profits by cheating and coercing the people of the world

 

 WHO invites makers of mpox tests for emergency review in push for rapid access.... A new form of the virus has triggered global concern as it seems to spread easily through routine close contact, prompting the health agency to declare mpox a global public health emergency earlier this month.... Earlier this week, diagnostics firm Labcorp said it is working with U.S. health regulators to determine if it needed to ramp up its mpox testing capacity.  CNA

For decades after Vietnam, the Americans have stumbled on the most profitable business, making wars, inciting wars, raising tension by fabricating threats and then sell weapons to the stupid masochists that think they are war heroes. Buying one ship, one aircraft, one submarine or two tanks would win the war. The Americans got so insane about this war formula that they discarded their whole real economy and put all their money into the war industry. It was so easy to make money selling a $100m war machine than selling a million pieces of mobile phones just to make the same money. So the madness continues till today with many silly govts being duped, cajoled and conned to buy more and more weapons of mass destruction, because they believed in the demon threats the Americans are telling them, without realising that the real threat to their existence are the American terrorists.

Now the Americans have stumbled onto a new formula, making viruses and creating a mania of a pandemic, and duping and collaborating with silly govts to make vaccination using expensive and unproven American experimental vaccines mandatory, compulsory, even imposing all kinds of abusive measures to force their population to be vaccinated against their safety and will.

This formula has proven to be an epic success in the Covid19 pandemic. American pharmaceuticals were the biggest winners in the last Pandemic. But even before this, several evil American so called entrepreneurs have already invested tons of money in copyrighting viruses and vaccines in preparation to make a pile with their evil intent and designs.

The main media have been roped in to the charade, hyping about serious virus threats and pandemics and the need for mass compulsory vaccinations. The hue and cry is ongoing with every incident of a new virus or disease being hyped to heavens high and promoting fear among the populace. And the pharma companies are all raring to go, to mass produce and market their experimental vaccines for compulsory and mandatory vaccinations with the assistance of equally greedy and evil governments.

This is an existential threat against human civilisation, an assault on human rights and individual freedom to choose not to be injected with questionable foreign chemicals into their bodies against their will. But the barrage of fear is being raised daily with govt and international organisations playing a big part in this big money making scheme. The victims will be the innocent, ignorant and hapless people being coerced by their govts to get jab and jab for life, with fake vaccines. Real vaccines do not need to be jabbed and jabbed forever, at most two or three jabs in a life time.

Beware of the demons and the devils in your midst that played up your fear and vulnerability and rob you of your money and risking the safety of your life with contorted and exaggerated fear, alarm and fake vaccines.

It is all about making money indiscriminately against all morals and decency.

To be a leader in USA, the only qualifications is 'stupidity'

 What kind of an expert businessman is Donald Trump, still believing that other countries are paying for his tariffs? He is supposed to be well versed in business and appears credible running his game show 'The Apprentice' many years ago. Yet he is as dumb as a lamp post when it comes to how the economy works.

Perhaps we could be forgiven for his incompetence. It is really alarming that he faced bankruptcy six times. How could such a person be credible with his utterances and be believed. It is preposterous to say the least.

He may be super rich, but his wealth was basically inherited, and many still believe that he also cheated on tax payments. He even claimed his smartness in avoiding tax on many counts.

Suffice to say, many are of the opinion that to be a leader in USA, the only qualifications is 'stupidity'. But, of course, he is not really stupid but crooked.

Gaza Genocide - Israel will be sucked dry by this protracted war against the Arabs and Muslims

 Hamas is telling the USA and Israel it is going for the long war and that it has the resources to do so. Can Ukraine or Israel afford a prolong war and can the USA stay the course to provide unlimited aid? When Trump gets elected, the whole equation is already going to change listening to his rhetoric. But then, perhaps we need to take him with a sprinkle of salt, as all of them on both sides of the political divide are just snake oil vendors capable of lying through their teeth.

Twenty years in Afghanistan fighting against ill-equipped farmers bearing small arms and the USA had to run for their lives. With the Afghans telling the rest of the world that Afghanistan is the 'Graveyard of Empires', the USA thought that with their military superiority, taking on the Taliban will be like taking candy from a kid.

In the end the USA had to give up their fight, not from lack of more weapons, but it was a moral defeat. The USA is not capable of fighting long wars. It will sap their moral as soldiers are sent home in body bags like in Vietnam. That is why the USA dared not be directly involved in Ukraine and Gaza.

The other pertinent question to ask is for how long the USA can continue to provide weapons to Ukraine and Israel, with essential raw materials for making weapons now controlled by China like Gallium, Antimony, Nickel, Steel and others.

PS. The Americans may not be directly involved in Ukraine, but definitely in Israel. In both cases, the Americans are there fighting the Russians and killing the Palestinians.

Two colossal mistakes are leading to the collapse of the US$ hegemony

 Two colossal mistakes are leading to the collapse of the US$ hegemony - the sanctioning and the tariffs.

The sanctions have failed, and the seizure of Russian assets was the straw that broke the camel's back. What the USA and the West did to Russia is causing countries to ask the question - Who is next? Which is why they are in favor of getting away from the US$ hegemony and supporting de-dollarization. The USA is known to be totally untrustworthy, turning their face the very moment they leave the negotiating room. The USA thinks that exceptionalism is their prerogative to invoke against all others. Agreements and treaties can just be brushed aside at its whims and fancies. How can countries expect fairness in dealing with the USA?

Tariffs are the other mistake of the USA and the West. China does not depend only on the USA and EU for its trade, large it may be. Russia is a new market for China to explore and the Global South, many rich in resources and food production, are opening up to trade outside the US$. These are countries whose raw materials and agricultural products are able to afford China the alternatives to depend on, and to retaliate by refusing supplies from the West in favor of the Global South. In doing so, the use of the US$ is definitely not going to figure in the transactions, thereby accelerating de-dollarization. There are a thousand and one ways to skin a cat.Anonymous

Israel embedded explosives in pagers killed and wounding thousands in Lebanon. Taiwan implicated

 BEIRUT: Militant group Hezbollah promised to retaliate against Israel after accusing it of detonating pagers across Lebanon on Tuesday (Sep 17), killing nine people and wounding nearly 3,000 others including fighters and Iran's envoy to Beirut....

The New York Times reported that Israel hid explosive material in the Taiwan-made Gold Apollo pagers before they were imported to Lebanon, citing American and other officials briefed on the operation. The material was implanted next to the battery with a switch that could be triggered remotely to detonate....

Washington said it was not involved in the explosions and did not know who was responsible. The US renewed calls for a diplomatic solution to tensions between Israel and Lebanon.  CNA

This is another treacherous form of warfare that would kill and wound more civilians than military personnel. It is another war crime committed by the Israelis. And its equally liable accomplice, the Americans, voluntarily admitted that they are part of this crime, by denying knowledge of it. This is how the Americans operate, commit the crime and denying knowledge of everything, like the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the Ukraine War, and the escalation of tension in the South China Sea.

What is worrisome and troublesome, is that the pagers were made in Taiwan. Are the Taiwanese involved and to what extend? Taiwan is now dragged into this cruel and despicable act. Second, are other equipment like mobile phones made in Taiwan, Israel or western countries, like Apple, also be embedded with dangerous devices that could kill or maimed when the evil protagonists decided to activate it?

To employ such treacherous tactics, embedding explosives in consumer products, is like spiking food with poison. This is totally unacceptable and extremely dangerous to the safety of all people in the world. Only very evil and unscrupulous savages would use such cruel and inhuman tactics to kill and maim the innocent civilians, including women and children. 

What is ICC or UN going to say about it?

While faking negotiation to halt hostilities, the Americans and Israelis are escalating the genocide without restraints.

PS. Taiwanese made products would be banned in the Middle East for good. The Taiwanese have been duped and implicated and compromised by the Israelis and Americans.

India's predatory strategy for acquiring free companies, banks and factories

 When a deal is too good to be true, believe it, that it is not going to be true. This truism is like Murphy's Law, and will always work like clock work. India will lure foreign investors to pump money into India to build factories, set up companies, banks, manufacturing plants etc etc with attractive offers. Once the money is in, best money sunk into in buying land, machinery and buildings, the scheming will start to work in India's favour.

The Indian predatory formula is simply to acquire foreign investments and assets in India for free or at a huge discount. Chinese companies had been duped over and over again with attractive terms only to see the terms being changed forcefully to take over the company. The main goal is for India to own these companies or factories, banks, legally at a big discount, or de facto owning the company, like having the companies employing Indians for all the jobs. It would would start with a demand for 51% of the employees to be Indians, followed by employing Indians for all management positions. When the latter materialised, the Indian management would go about employing new Indian hires to fill up all positions. The end result, the company would be de facto an Indian company without India paying a cent for it, when all employees are Indians. In such cases, the real owner would lose all control of the company.

The second strategy is to fabricate all kinds of charges like tax evasion, money laundering, accounts problems or violation of Indian laws. Then huge fines would be imposed on the companies, wiping out all the profits over several years. Instead of making profits, the companies would end up in big losses, but unable to pull out of India unless it is prepared to suffer even bigger losses. Foxconn was decisive enough to cut losses in the millions to flee India before incurring more losses. Some investors would not want to cut loss and instead, dumped in more good money, hoping and praying that in the long run things would be better. Far hope to these losers.

The glowing and rosy pictures of an Indian market as big as China, a big pool of cheap labour and top talents, are the carrot or mirage dangling to attract unthinking and foolish investors to rush in.  And once in, it is very difficult to get out without being robbed of everything. And staying is as good as letting the Indians own the company, managing all the investments by the Indians as if they belong to the Indians, and the investors have only a superficial claim to the entities, legally, on paper. In reality, everything belongs to the Indians.

Is this predatory strategy difficult to understand? After understanding the objectives of the Indians and their well known formula in practice, would any foreign investors still thing India is an attractive and great opportunity to invest in?

PS. India dangled a big carrot of wanting to buy 1,000 buses from BYD with the condition that BYD set up factories in India. This time BYD was smart to decline the offer or they will end up building a factory for India with all the equipment to build electric buses, and India getting the buses for virtually free.

Jews like to claim they are the chosen race. Are they?

 White men like the blinking Jews like to claim they are the chosen race , the chosen people of God. But with their millions of limitless heinous acts and atrocities committed against other people, other races and countries of the South do they still think God will condone their criminal acts against mankind. 

For years heaven has given them and the despicable godless Jews enough warnings to cease their wanton demonic behaviour against mankind but to no avail. Now God has decided to punish them and therefore they are now facing unsolvable problems and choas in all white countries in the Anglo-Saxons UK and USA and in all over Europe as well as in Israel. 

Well do they still think they are the chosen people of God. God must be blind to do so. It is more likely they are the chosen of Lucifer their monstrous king of the devils.

Dragon Spirit is with every patriotic Chinese

 The tenacious fighting Dragon Spirit is with every patriotic Chinese whether in China or overseas. The Chinese people will never give other people trouble or problems. The Chinese people believe in good neighbourliness and in helping others and that in helping others we are helping ourselves too as one good turn will definitely deserve another though time sequel is unknown. However, the Chinese people are also not afraid of trouble. 

If white people by their wickedness and evil design try to give China trouble again the Chinese people will be unforgiven and fight them with the same tenacious spirit of the mighty Chinese Dragon and give them no quarters but to defeat them totally and send them into oblivion into the kingdom of hell.

China and North Korea should not reveal how many nukes they have

 The USA, the West, Israel and Japan are trying to conceal nuke possession by the latter two countries. China and North Korea should not reveal how many nukes they have. This is a National Security Issue, and such information should be kept close to their chests.

The whole purpose of China using 5G and getting rid of Windows operating system and banning Western computers and iPhones are to prevent sensitive information from falling into Western hands. Western gadgets often have backdoors for spying purposes. Decoding machines sold by the USA to its allies were discovered to have backdoors, which enabled the USA to spy on messages passed between the allies. If they even think it morally right to eavesdrop on allies, what do you think they will not do to enemies?

The USA even tried installing bugs in Boeing planes sold to China. When Jiang Zemin bought a Presidential jet from Boeing, the Chinese discovered more than 20 bugs installed inside the plane. The plane was never used.

This brings to mind what the USA can do with planes from Boeing, like MH370 missing without a trace. Conspiracy theory?

Exceptionalism is a self-inflicted suicide by the USA

 De-dollarization would never have been gaining traction so fast over the last two years without a reason. The action by the USA actually accelerated the process with the seizure of the Russian assets contributing to fast tracking of the inevitable together with the sanctions against Russia that borders on insanity.

The weaponization of the US$ was instrumental in setting off the fuse and that has awakened the world to the danger of one country holding all the cards and having all the privilege to print unlimited toilet papers and dictating all the rules of the game. It is a self-inflicted suicide by the USA, no one else is to blame.

The whole world now wants to get rid of a unipolar world for a multi-polar world instead. And rightly no country should be allowed to print money without consequences, while any other country would not get away with it. A truly global currency must be found that is fair to every country of the world.

Exceptionalism is not going to save the USA this time around. Not even with all the Anglo-Saxon Whites ganging up to support the US$ hegemony. The Europeans will soon find out that they have been sacrificed to no avail.

God is great in pushing Russia to the side of BRICS. A blessing actually for BRICS that Russia is on the side of China and not the USA. Otherwise, that would be disastrous for China alone against the Anglo-Saxon White clique. Who is to blame? Own self blaming own self is just apt.

Terrorist America - The ugly truths of the neo cons exposed by Prof Jeffrey Sachs

 

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs : Neocons and World Dominance

34 min discussion between Judge Napolitano and Prof Jeffrey Sachs on the evil agenda of the neocons.

Mahathir regretting why Proton did not become BYD

 Mahathir made a great move to industrialise Malaysia by setting up Proton car factory. The startup might be modest but it was a good start, a step in the right direction. From assembly, it could grow bigger into manufacturing and design of cars. But he forgot that manufacturing cars is not simply wishful thinking. Just wish for it and it would happen. Car manufacturing needs a pool of real engineers, good engineers. Not half past six engineers.

This is the part that stalled the progress of Proton. It could not advance further into a real car manufacturer. It could not even produce an engine to call its own. The magic stopped there.

When Proton was set up, China did not have a car manufacturing base in China. China was thus behind Malaysia in car manufacturing. China only started to go into car manufacturing at least 20 years after Malaysia. EV manufacturing in China started about 10 years ago. And today, China is the world leader in EV manufacturing. And Proton was sold to Geely, a Chinese EV manufacturer and producing Chinese designed and manufactured EVs. Proton's name is safe or else it would be lying in some corner of the museum.

What went wrong? Manufacturing car is not making teh tarik when anyone can do. Just called him an engineer and put him in charge and eureka, a car is made. China planned its industrialisation carefully by understanding the basic needs. A pool of top engineers! China is well known for producing top STEM engineers in bulk, by mass production. China sent its best students to the best universities in the West to study science and engineering and most of them came up tops in their cohorts. This is the base that China depended on for its industrial and modernisation programme.

How is this compare to what Mahathir did? Mahathir spent a lot of govt fund to send scholars to the West as well for tertiary education. The difference stopped there. The Mahathir scholars were not the best in their cohorts. And many went to study non engineering or science subjects and did not return as top engineers. Also, many went for religious studies to become religious teachers.

Mahathir did not have a pool of top engineers to form his industrialisation base. It was a failed start. The rest is history. Public fund spent with good intention but he took it too lightly, that any tertiary education would do. When hard sciences and engineering are concerned, there is no tolerance for short changed and thinking of getting excellence in the result. It is GIGO through and through.

Because of all the top STEM graduates, China is also leading the world in high speed trains, space exploration, 5G/6G, AI, quantum physics, mobile phones, and soon high performance chips.

US India Relations - Transient and opportunistic with both humouring each other for self interests

 Much has been made about the future success of India. A future that is uncertain to arrive soon, by hyping-up the 'population dividend' to lure investments to India to take advantage of the slave labor. That is why Apple jumped in to take advantage of the 'slave labor' like it did in China, got burned and now jumping out. Apple jumped into the Indian fire and now jumping out of the fire into the Chinese boiling pot. The consequence is yet unknown.

No one talks about 'slave wages' in India, or child labor issues. As long as India can be used to counter China, anything it does is acceptable to the USA and the West. It is only being demonized in China. You can be sure that all this 'slave wages' and child labor issues will be dug up once India is no longer useful to the USA and the West and will be used against India when it gets thrown under the bus.

The Indians better not be so happy with all the accolades thrown in by the West about the country as well as the demonization of China. The USA cares little about what happens to India. The only thing the USA cares about is its own interest, and in India's context is its usefulness to counter China.

India insidiously wants to adopt the USA tactic of seizing successful businesses in India and punishing them heavily with laws enacted just to suit their agenda, the exact modus operandi that the USA is using against Chinese companies in USA like DJI, BYD, CATL and TikTok among others.

The irony is that these measures will only result in backfiring against the USA's own companies and those of the EU, like Volkswagen, Tesla by restricting CATL from producing EV batteries in the USA. If Tesla is to depend on batteries made by USA owned companies, their cost will make Tesla EVs uncompetitive worldwide. Shooting its own feet is becoming a habit of the USA Government.

Nobody cares a hoot about American election

 The USA and the Anglo-Saxon Whites really think too highly of themselves, accusing every Tom, Dick and Harry country that cannot tolerate them of trying to interfere in their elections. Nobody cares a hoot about them really.

Ask the hawkers, taxi drivers, bus drivers, security personnel, students, office workers, factory workers, airport workers, trolley pushers, table cleaners, gardeners, road sweepers, rubbish collectors, pioneers, merdekas and most do not even know who is standing for election in the USA. They do not care half a hoot what happens in the USA. Who wins or loses is none of their concern. They still have to work, go to school or hope to pick up the periodical chicken wings to survive or carry on with their lives.

Only the Western educated bananas may have an interest in the election, but interfering is out of the question. What for? Even their own local election is beyond them to interfere with.

Ukraine War - Dementia Biden still touting his bedside fantasy

 Biden is touting the narrative that Putin will not prevail in Ukraine. Despite all his empty forecast, the sanctions, the doom and gloom that he raised about Russia collapsing and the Ruble turning into dust, is Russia still not prevailing? He must have forgotten his earlier prophecy about the collapse of Russia, being excusable for being a dementia patient. Now, Russia will be prevailing even more with North Korea and Iran providing weapons to Putin.

I guess that must be the narrative also touted in Vietnam decades ago, that North Vietnam will not prevail. How could they, with almost half a million USA troops in Vietnam, supplemented by more than 300,000 South Korean troops and others and supported by the whole USA Military logistics - aircraft, aircraft carriers, carpet bombing, use of chemical weapons aka agent orange, and yet failing. I also guess that this must be the very same narrative in Afghanistan, that the Taliban will not prevail. But prevail they did, and the USA was defeated, not really a 'withdrawal' by any sense of the word.

Biden is thinking that just by repeating the same false mantra over and over, he can change the reality into fantasy, and he is trying to convince allies that this is the reality. The reality that is not so real when the USA and its allies are going after the alternative media like Tik Tok and RT for telling the truth on the ground. And what was their reason for targeting RT? For being the intelligence arm of Russia. What a load of rubbish when they know that they are losing the media war. Any reason plucked from the air is enough to put down alternative views about the war, or the true view of the war.

Will longer range missiles change the game? That is what they are touting, and it is obvious they want an escalation to take place with even attacking Iran on the cards for its weapons supply to Russia and Iran's stronger desire to have the nuke for deterrent. Using the argument that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons is a threat to the world, just like North Korea. Is North Korea threatening others with nukes other than South Korea and Japan for their provocations. Who is the biggest nuclear threat to the rest of the world? Which country ever used nuclear weapons twice on another country?

Trump's assassination ruse!

 Donald Trump's popularity is waning and is slipping behind Kamala. This is no good. The euphoria of the first 'assassination' attempt is fading away. Nobody remembers or cares about it anymore. More drastic measures must be taken to win back the supporters for Trump. The first assassination ruse came too early and losing steam and effect.

What can be better than another failed 'assassination' attempt? A gun man was hiding in a bush in Trump's Florida golf course, and carrying an AK 47 rifle, not American rifle, to make it more real, with the sly hint that it was likely foreign motivated.

And the fumbling amateurish gun man was easily spotted and fled but then caught shortly on the highway. In both assassination ruses, the gun men were anything but professionals, exposing themselves to be hunted and taken down. In this latter case, the police were so efficient. No chance to fire a shot and quickly apprehended.

Trump's popularity is going to rise again. Poor man, target of assassins. Must give him more support. The polls will swing to favour Trump again.

Would this be the last attempt or ruse against Trump's life? Point to note, the aggressive and violent Americans are the right wing supporters of Trump and all gun carrying brutes. These are the type that are likely to commit violence, like assassination.  Strange that they are not targeting Kamala, and now a second attempt on Trump.

What do you think? Real or Ruse? Hero and macho Trump is safe and sound again.

In American politics, domestic or international, everything can be scripted by Hollywood to gain sensational effect. $1.5 billion for producing fake news and disinformation. This is no small change. Only an Empire of Lies would be willing to spend such money.

The Story of Sun Qicheng, represents the unflinching fight against gross injustice suffered by overseas Chinese in the United States

Every Chinese must know that during the last over two hundred years our great Chinese Civilization of 5000 years was subjected to extreme barbaric Western attack and aggression by the European countries headed by the Anglo-Saxons British, America, Russia and Japan. China was like a life cockroach set upon by myriads of ants and torn to pieces. China was like a living cattle set upon by packs of hyenas, wolves or lions and torn to shreds. China was invaded, trampled and her land partitioned among the invading tribes. 

In a short span of over two hundred years China was caused to lose her dignity, self-respect and honour as well as losing large swathes of Chinese lands to Russia, England, France, Germany and Japan. However, the Chinese have their own proud national honour, dignity and self-respect. Inspite of overbearing odds in this epic struggle and fight against the hordes of barbaric invaders China put up a determined heroic struggle with grit and gumption and finally won back her Civilization on 1st October, 1949 with the establishment of the People's Republic of China by the Commmunist Party of China led by Chairman Mao Tse-Tung. 

Below is another sad story of how the Chinese living overseas in America were bullied, trampled and treated by the Anglo-Saxons Americans with derision, unfairness and great injustice. As usual Chinese dignity, honour and self-respect would never give in to such savage ill treatment without giving a fight. 

This is a story of Mr.Sun Qichen and his fellow Chinese compatriots heroic epic fight and struggle against the unfairness, lawless acts and injustice against the mighty US government in the 1980s. It was a long heroic fight against false and fake make up lawsuits in the courts against Mr Sun Qichen and the Chinese business community. It was Mr. Sun Qichen's stubborn determination and the full support of the Chinese compatriots of their just cause that finally ended up in court victory for Mr Sun and his Chinese compatriots. 

Every Chinese must read this epic story and finish it to the end and there after circulate it to as many people as possible to let the world know how despicable, dishonourable, petty and lawless the Anglo-Saxons Americans are as well as to show their irrational fear, envy and hatred for the intelligent hardworking Chinese diaspora. 

In the midst of the 2008 subprime financial crisis in the United States an inspiring story emerged. A 74 year old man of Chinese descent was arrested in the United States and became scapegoat for the US government, but the outcome was beyond everyone's expectations. The arrest of Meng Wanzhou has shocked the world. Ten years ago there was a similar arrest that also shocked the world. The defendant was just an innocent Chinese old man. He was suddenly arrested and became a scapegoat for the US government. He faced 182 charges and 240 indictments. He never expected the ending which exceeded everyone's expectations. 

He is Sun Qicheng ( English name Thomas Sung ). He was born in Shanghai in 1935. His father Sun Ruilin was a famous entrepreneur and a philanthropist who founded a large orphanage in Nanshan, Chongqing and rescued thousands of children who were displaced by the Japanese invasion of China. Under the influence of his father, the seed of national justice was planted in his young heart until it grew into a towering tree in later years. When he was sixteen years old, his family migrated to the US. At the university, he obtained a master's degree in economics and a doctorate in law. Such excellent results in the education system were rare among Chinese and even Americans at the time. After completing his studies, he could have successfully entered the upper class of the US, but he made a decision that surprised everyone. 

At that time there was no place where more Chinese gathered in the US than in Chinatown in New York. The barber shop, the small Chinese street vendors doing business on the streets, the humble Chinese shoe repair stall and theatrical performances. Everything here made him extremely comfortable. He said, Whenever I walk in Chinatown, I feel that it is like home. I want to be a part of them. 

However, behind the Chinese existence in the US, there is actually endless bitterness and injustice. The Chinese hawkers who set up stalls in Chinatown would be fined if the stalls encroached little bit into the road for a short distance of one meter, they were fined USD1,000. This is the money earned for their hard work for months. The police cars would park in Chinatown at will, occupying the business space of vendors without any restriction. He saw all this with his eyes, so when he graduated in 1964, he gave up high-paying job and the opportunity to enter the upper class, and established a law firm in Chinatown, where there were many shoe repair shops, vegetable stalls and butcher shops. What he did was for only one purpose to provide much needed and timely help for the unfair treatment suffered by his Chinese compatriots. 

After more than ten years to solve their legal woes, he discovered one of their most difficult problems, many small Chinese businesses in Chinatown paid their workers daily or weekly salaries. While several banks in the US had taken in tens of millions of dollars from Chinese deposits and made huge profits, when Chinese people wanted to borrow money from these banks, they faced difficulties as they were unable to come up with a convincing source of income. The result was the Chinese living in Chinatown found it difficult to buy a house, and even harder to invest in expanding their business. 

He tried to help his compatriots by lobbying mainstream American banks, but failed time after time. He found this very unfair. In order to help his compatriots as much as possible he decided to give up his law firm and open a bank himself. He said, "It's time I want to give back to society and the Chinese." "To many Chinese, the abacus is the treasure of China's five thousand years of culture." So he decided to call the bank Abacus Bank ( National Treasure Bank ) to work for the well being of his compatriots. He invested all his wealth and resources and finally in 1980, the Abacus Bank was established. 

The opening of the Abacus bank brought great vitality to the local Chinese community and hope from helplessness and hardship. He helped them overcome all these with low-interest loans from the US government to help thousands of low-income Chinese who had settled in the US to make a living. After twenty years of unremitting efforts, countless Chinese families regained and improved their lives. Whether it is an aunt who sold flowers or an old man who sold vegetables , with his help they could finally afford a house, have their own business and a foothold in the US. Local Chinese often said: If you have difficulty, you can find a national treasure." 

"National Treasure" became famous and became the well-known OCBC Bank among the Americans. Sun said: The unity of Chinese people abroad should be something integrated into the blood. Abacus Bank aims to enable compatriots to live in a foreign country with dignity." He opened the bank in New York and even more in the hearts of overseas Chinese. 

While he succeeded in his career, he always missed the China where he was born and raised. He knew the importance of talent to the motherland. In 2000, he preached the establishment of the "US-China Education Foundation" to contact many universities in the US. China's education department cooperated in running schools and provided China with a steady stream of talents: lawyers, accountants, computer experts, finance, corporate management, etc which deepened the exchanges between China and the US. 

Unanimously praised, he was called "the goodwill ambassador of China and the US" and the architect of the Sino-US friendship bridge." Everything was moving towards a better place but because of a huge storm that came suddenly he instantly fell into a dead end. 

In 2008 a serious subprime mortgage crisis blew up in the US. All mainstream banks panicked. Unemployment, poverty, and bankruptcy became a huge social disaster. In order to save the country's nearly collapsed economy, in October President Bush signed the "Emergency Economic Stability" bill. The bill authorised the use of taxpayers' money of up to USD700 billion in taxes to rescue those financial giants. But the American people who had been badly affected needed a reasonable explanation. To spend taxpayers' money to rescue the Bank of America, who will be responsible for this crisis. 

The government knew that the main outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis was that the financial tycoons of Wall Street had packaged extremely risky loans and sold these to the public as well as to overseas countries . This vicious circle finally triggered the unprecedented financial disaster. But because these people were too big and strong to be offended and prosecuted, the US government targeted Sun and Abacus Bank which unexpectedly became the only financial institution at that time that was sued by the US government for loan fraud. 

The police went to the bank to arrest its employees. The scene was shocking. The staff were chained together and walked out one by one with their heads bent. This method of arrest even caused upset among the local lawyers in the US. "They were herded down the corridor like herding cows. There is no precedent before ... " Someone said: This is very unfair, it is a shame if it were a group of African-American workers, they wouldn't be treated like this!" Just because they are Chinese and living in Chinatown, they had to suffer such discrimination and injustice. 

Sun was 74 years old. He never expected that a financial turmoil caused by the American banks would make him a scapegoat. He did not expect that he would be convicted of 182 charges and 240 fines in court. The face of the big bank is too big to fail, and Abacus Bank is small enough to be prosecuted was staged in the US. His family was exposed to the eyes of the American people by the media, and suddenly became "the sinners of the US", on these absurd charges. 

The average bad debt rate of mortgages in the US was 5% at the time, while only nine people did not service their loans out of Abacus Bank's more than 3,000 loans. The bank's bad debt rate was only 3%, which had the lowest non-fulfilment loan rate in the US. It is unacceptable for such a reputable bank for the US financial crisis. US news reports severely humiliated the Chinese. 

Seeing that their father was wronged so much, his youngest daughter who was serving in the D.A. office resigned from the government. "The U.S. government's action made me fail to see the the justice and fairness preached. On the contrary, I only saw their incompetence. I was so disappointed." She took up her father's case. However, there were hundreds of lawyers on the government's prosecution side who investigated Abacus Bank. It was proposed that as long as Sun Qicheng is willing to pay a fine of USD6 million , the matter could pass. 

But for the dignity of his family and for the dignity of the Chinese, he did not compromise. "We Chinese do things cleanly, and we will never recognize what we have not done. This is a country that exercises power. I can't let the Chinese face be dulled with shame. I also want to restore my own dignity." He decided to fight for fairness and justice no matter what the price was. 

In the face of powerful government agencies, his only strength was that of his four daughters. Three were lawyers and were quite familiar with US politics, economy and law. The government doesn't know that I'm not that easy to bully, but my daughters, they are also strong, wise and capable women. The US Prosecutor's office did not expect that he was so stubborn and tenacious. He had 182 charges. 

The prosecution used hundreds of well-known lawyers to investigate the files of Abacus Bank in full, so that his family would plead guilty. In this most difficult period, he was supported by his closest compatriots in Chinatown. Every day the owner of the noodle shop presented his daughters with hot wonton noodle. They would stay in the shop for a whole day, discussing the case to "restore dad's innocence!" Many Chinese were waiting for the day when he would be cleared of his charges.

He said, "When I was in trouble, my compatriots did not abandon me. They gave me encouragement, support and told me that I would win the lawsuit." The lawsuit lasted five full years and involved more than 600,000 files. In this power disparity contest, he finally won justice with extraordinary courage. In the end none of his 182 counts and 240 counts were proven. 

After learning of the victory of the lawsuit, many Chinese came forward, "You fought for us and let us believe that we still have a chance for justice." This was not his victory alone, but a victory to defend the dignity of all overseas Chinese. 

Later, the story of Sun Qicheng's family against the US government was filmed as a documentary depicting the Chinese resisting injustice. "Abacus Bank, small enough to jail" was nominated for for best feature documentary for the 90th Oscar Award and won other film awards. This is the legacy of the elderly Sun Qicheng, and the spirit of all Chinese people who strive for and value peace. 

The backbone of the Chinese people will never be broken and the faith of the Chinese people will never be torn apart. An unyielding China will eventually win. Watch the documentary, "Abacus: Small enough to jail" (2017) - How a Chinese family fought against the US government for 5 years. https://youtu.be/75SLTTgFGTc8 https://youtu.be/JkscvUEUnJA.

Circulate this story to as many people as possible to let the world know how racist and anti-Chinese the Anglo-Saxon Americans are and how they trampled on the human rights of other ethnic races. 

 Southernglory1 Monday, 16th September, 2024 

PS. As of today, thousands of Chinese scholars, professors, scientists and academics have been forcefully, wrongfully charged by the Americans with fabricated crimes. Many committed suicide, many were killed under suspicious circumstances. These are fine young men and women in the prime of their career, the best in their respective fields. The American rogue regimes committed atrocious, merciless and racist crimes against the Chinese people even today in the fake and terrorist so called Democracy. 

Many Chinese scholars and experts have returned to China, their Motherland. Many would follow suit in a reversed brain drain to empty the top talents in America. Hopefully they could return safely before they are murdered or wrongly put in jail by the American terrorists.

2 Asian Mickey Mouse are not whites or Jews...Mickey Mouse will always be Mickey Mouse

 The two hot wars in Europe and Middle East are steaming along fine. The Americans, Brits and Europeans are fully behind the two protagonists, the Ukrainians and the Jews. The Ukrainians are seen as whites or look like whites, blond hair and blue eyes. The Jews are quite close, especially the European Jews. And they have the added advantage of being in full control of the American Administration in Washington. All the American politicians are paid by the Jews and will take orders from the Jews.

Ukraine and Israel can count on unlimited support from the Americans and the Europeans. And the two wars would not stop until they won or would be forever wars with the full support and finances to defeat the Russians and the Arabs.

As for the two Mickey Mouse in Asia, ie Taiwan and the Philippines, both 100% dependent on the Americans to back up their hostilities and provocations against China. Without the Americans behind their backs, they would be blown away when China coughs. But they are still deluded to think that the Americans would support them fully like supporting Ukraine and Israel. Their stupidity and dullness are written on their faces.

Both are not whites, and both are not Jews. The stakes are not worthy for the Americans to die for in Taiwan and the South China Sea. And China is not only a formidable opponent, the geography is all for China. There is no Europe and a massive land mass to facilitate the logistics for a war with China. It is a done case. The Americans knew it but the two Mickey Mouse are still in Disneyland, thinking the script can be written in Hollywood and they can write their own success story.

China also has finance and technology behind it, and with a huge population, a huge armed forces to fall back own, the Americans would not be foolish to take on China in a hot war thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean.

When would the two Mickey Mouse wake up and realise that cartoons are just cartoons and meant for cartoonists and Mickey Mouse? They are not worthy to die for, to sacrifice the lives of American boys and girls. Who did the Taiwanese and Pinoys think they are for Americans to sacrifice their lives for?

How many nukes China has? How many nukes Iran has? Who knows?

 The USA and its allies are just speculating about how many nukes China have today. But it is still meager compared to the USA or Russia. China needs to keep this a secret close to its chest. Small in quantity does not mean small in damage if used correctly and strategically.

North Korea has even fewer nukes by comparison, but they are useful deterrents. No one seems to threaten North Korea now. It does not matter whether that button is bigger or smaller as long as it fires.

The only way forward for China is keep increasing its nukes and close the gap fast. That it is keeping the USA and West guessing is a good strategy.

We do not know to what extent is the military alliance between China and Russia and whether direct intervention is ensconced in their agreement when either is attacked and will they help each other directly. That is perhaps also a good strategy as it keeps the enemy guessing. If Iran goes nuclear and together with North Korea, the odds ought to balance out against the European nuclear powers.

CIA terrorists and NGOs are protected by the evil American Empire

 Any move against the CIA or NGOs and the USA may well threaten those making such moves.

We already saw what happened with the ICC threats to issue arrest warrants against George W. Bush and his whole gang for the illegal war in Iraq. They are clear cut war criminals, through and through, starting an illegal war based on fabricated evidence. But under the threat of the USA, the ICC was cowed, paralyzed and unable to do anything, losing its credibility thereafter. A crime is a crime however they may interpret it or wash it away.

We will never see USA supported terrorist be taken to task. Not when the USA is the sole arbiter of what is right and what is wrong. What do you think they invented their 'Rules Based Order' for?

They make the rules, you do as they ordered.

Ukraine War - Setting up the Ukraine Slavs to kill Russian Slavs and vice versa

 The West is ensuring Kiev’s demise on purpose https://www.rt.com/news/603986-ukraine-russia-missiles-nato/

Excellent evaluation of the most recent strategy of the west in Ukraine. I must add that it's not a poison pill given to Ukraine but a suicide pill!!

And the moron Zelensky is going to swallow it with glee.

But Russia should take advantage of this situation and quickly deploy nuclear weapons to Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, Iran and friendly EU countries. This will greatly consolidate its military position for the future and ensure no more threats and starting wars from the west. And just for show, donate some nuclear warheads to China too. 

Everyone knows Russia has the most nuclear weapons on earth and that's its trump card against the west, hell bent on destroying it for decades. So it can afford to spare some to toughen other friendly countries. Nobody knows how big China's nuclear arsenal is. By donating some to China will further discourage the sickest country on earth to attack it. 

And China, being the factory of the world, can offer to manufacture Russia's nuclear weapons as a sign of gratitude. Imagine China now manufacturing nuclear weapons on a large scale and possibly for friendly countries as well. If this doesn't make China the strongest country on earth, I don't know what will.😁😁😁

Taj Mahal - Would China build such a monument in India for the Indians?

 Obviously no. The Chinese would have many things to build in Africa, often for free, for the Africans. But this is just an analogy. Would the Chinese put in several hundred billions into India to build a banking empire spreading across the Indian continent, and hiring only Indians to run the banking empire? 

When successful, the Chinese could have the bragging right of telling the world they own the banking empire, providing hundreds of thousands of employment for the Indians. Unfortunately, the bragging rights stop just there. How are the Chinese going to control the finances of the beautiful banking empire when all the employees, from the CEO to the peons are Indians? Not even the CFO is a Chinese. With such a set up, the Chinese can only believe everything the Indians said about the performance of the banking empire. It is up to the Indians to say profit or loss and the Chinese would be none the wiser. Trust the Indians. They would not lie, they would not cheat.

Also, can the Chinese take out any profits from the Indian banking empire? If not, the Indians are really the de facto owner of the banking empire, providing hundreds of thousands of jobs to the Indians using hundreds of billions of Chinese money. On paper it looks good, but the money invested in India is as good as belonging to the Indians. And who knows, one day, when the Indians are generous, they may offer to buy over the banking empire for $1 as there will be no other takers. The Indian govt will make sure no one else can buy the banking empire except the Indian govt or an Indian company approved by the Indian govt.

Would the Chinese be so trusting or gullible to be duped to pump in hundreds of billions of dollars on the great opportunities offered by the future success story of India....to build a Taj Mahal for India for free, using Chinese money? Who knows what would happen tomorrow, who knows what is the future?

One thing is certain. In the future, the people making the decision would all be dead.

PS. Do not bring a snake home. And the top most don'ts...Do not move into a snake nest.

BRICS must not take chances on admitting pro American spies

 Any country unable to take a stand as to which side it favors cannot be allowed to join BRICS. The risk is too great. The chance of sabotage is not to be underestimated.

If the USA can be seen funding NGOs in countries around the world to destabilize them, what guarantee can such tactics not be employed in dealing with BRICS. If the USA had been caught spying even on leaders of close allies like Germany and France, what guarantee can such tactics not be employed against leaders of countries in BRICS from the inside. If the USA, in the past, had been caught spying on allies by selling them decoding machines with backdoors that allowed the USA to spy on messages they were sending, how can any country within NATO itself be allowed in BRICS when they are totally controlled by the USA?

For all we know, the USA probably is still spying on Olaf Scholz and having a hold on him to make him comply with every dictate, such as taking out the Nord Stream pipeline. Scholz is a lame duck, clearly not having the same guts to confront the USA like Angela Merkel. Having a pair of testicles is no better than one without them.

Trade war or hot war are only easy to win in Hollywood fantasy movies

 If trade wars are easy to win, China would have been decimated by all the tariffs and its manufacturing base curtailed. In the end, who paid for all those tariffs? Not the manufacturers in China, but the end consumers in the USA. And did China's exports suffer? In fact, China's exports still flourished.

Hot wars are not easy to win either. Otherwise, they would not have fled Vietnam with just their pants on and boarding helicopters from rooftops in a mad rush to get out. It was a defeat that can never be covered up by just using the word 'withdrawal' as in Afghanistan. And the USA also fled from Afghanistan after twenty long years and US$2 trillion thrown against the Taliban, just fighting farmers bearing small arms, and they could not overcome them. Was that easy to win as they thought? Of course, Afghanistan is the 'Graveyard of Empires' and even the superpower USA cannot win with all their firepower, air support and hype up military capabilities. Worse still was leaving behind all the weapons for the Taliban to form a credible army now. Afghanistan will be more than the 'Graveyard of Empires' for those thinking of swallowing it up.

Now in Ukraine, it is the same story. 32 NATO countries supporting Ukraine, with all the sanctions imposed, and they still cannot win the war. NATO is really trapped in Ukraine. We do not know the outcome yet, with Europe down on its knees and already totally defeated economically, all thanks to their following the dictates of the USA blindly. Will it be a full-fledged defeat like in Vietnam or to put it more unrealistically as a 'withdrawal' as they put it in the context of Afghanistan. We know 'withdrawal' was just a face-saving attempt to put it bluntly. It was a defeat in a war that was never easy to win as they thought.

EU buying more Russian oil through other countries and paying market price...brilliant!

 According to reports, the EU is now buying more gas from Russia than from the USA. That must be a surprise to many. After all the talk about using sanctions to stop helping Russia to fund the war, why are they doing just the exact opposite of what they set out to do? Desperation is the answer. Do they really have any moral authority to accuse China of helping Russia in their trade and accusing China of helping Russia to fund its war with Ukraine?

The EU was and is in fact also buying Russian oil despite all the talk of keeping out Russian oil exports to stifle the Russians and collapse its economy. It is an open secret that the EU is buying lots of Russian oil, mixed with other sources and sold to the EU at huge profits. China, India and even Saudi Arabia are doing this very lucrative business and the USA, and the EU can do nothing about it. What happened to the US$60 price cap on oil masterminded by non-other than Janet Yellen? Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.

The most ironic situation is that Saudi Arabia is keeping its own oil extraction for domestic and sale to other countries, while buying Russian oil to be sold to the EU.

How stupid are the Europeans has been laid bare for all to see. Instead of settling for cheap Russian oil and gas without those sanctions, they are now paying for the same stuff at several times the price they were paying just before the Ukraine War. Does stupidity have no cure ring a bell?

Can you magine,... the US, UK, Nato and Israel were to attack Iran?

 Israel has been planning to destroy Iran for a long time, especially Iran's nuclear facilities. The time has come and the Americans are fully behind the Israelis to wipe out Iran for good. The UK is also on board and so is Nato. Can you imagine, what would happen to Iran when these white terrorist states ganged up against Iran and Iran is alone to defend itself?

Can you imagine, what if China and Russia choose not to get involved? When the two most powerful opposition to the western camp stay out, the fate of Iran is going to be pathetic, a cruel ending to a civilisation with millions of Iranians disappearing from mother earth. There will be no mercy.  Iran will suffer a fate worse than what happened to North Korea, or Iraq, the Iranian landscape would be beyond recognition.

Can you imagine, what would be the response of the Arab and Muslim states in the region? Turkey as a member of Nato would likely be part of the attacking Nato forces, or at best provide a supporting role. When the Arab and Muslim states see this, many would cower in fear, hide under the bed, not to be seen or heard. Some may volunteer to join the American terrorists to attack Iran as well, to be on the good book of the white men.

Can you imagine, after Iran is totally wiped out, what would the white terrorists do next? With their success, and the the inaction of China, and Russia, they would be so embolden of their invincibility and would continue to attack Russia and then China. The white supremacy and the American Empire would rule the whole world till eternity. The rest of the world, Latin America, Africa, Asia and South East Asia would just capitulate. Long live the American Empire, they will all chant together.

Can you imagine, this could be the future of civilisation and would last for a long long time? Can you imagine, if this comes true?

If the rest of the world does not stop the white savages from decimating Iran, does not stop the white savages from destroying Russia, the white men will re colonise the whole world again. Can you imagine, what would be the life of coloured people under an enraged white savage regime?

CIA and NGO operators are terrorists and must be arrested

 In any country that the USA has an axe to grind with, you can be sure that the CIA and USA funded NGOs are working the ground and cultivating stooges to get them ready to assume power.

Rest assured the USA is still doing stooge cultivation in Xinjiang and Hong Kong. It is not over as long as China is seen as an enemy. Likewise in Iran, Venezuela, Russia (wife of Navalny is the chosen one) and even in lesser close countries with it like Mexico, Brazil, and countries in ASEAN like Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia which are closer to China. Their regime changing work in progress now is targeted at others like Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia.

Pakistan and Bangladesh have gone over to the dark side, with Thailand almost a done deal if the Thai Military loses power completely.

American Presidential Election is about China and Russia, not about 'for the people'

 Russian gate is again on the election agenda of the Democrats. This indicates Trump is perhaps having the upper hand. If China gate surfaces, it probably indicates that Harris is leading. But now, they are said to be equally balanced.

Therefore, renewing Russian gate is thought to remind voters the danger of Russian influence in US election. Have they not had enough of the wild goose chase during Trump's four-year Presidency? As I always say, US election can never do without the two perennial bogeymen, Russia and China.

What is happening within the US is not important for the voters. The homelessness, drug problem, gun problem, debts, and economy in serious trouble. Of course, they can deny as denying is their modus operandi when no solution is found. Just kick the can further down the road and it vanishes from sight.

The West is asking the obvious - What is Africa doing in China?

 And the West is asking the obvious question - What is Africa doing in China?

African leaders were in Washington in 2022, treated like slaves meeting their master. All they did in Washington meeting Biden was a photoshoot for them to take home to show that they met Biden. They were accorded little time to talk about their problems. What were they doing in Washington must be the question on everyone's mind. They were at first given US$350 billion (bribe) said to be for development, but later shrank, after post-ejaculation, to just 10% of that or US$350 million instead. How shameful was that! Shared among the 50 odd countries, each gets US$7 million for development. It was an insult to even the poor Africans. Even less than the US$150 million for ASEAN countries to buy sampans for fighting piracy.

African leaders meeting Xi during the China-Africa Summit were accorded red carpet treatment and promised US$60 billion for aid for a start. Rest assured this will not be shrank to a pittance like the US$350 million from the original US$350 billion. Shame is not a word in the dictionary of the USA.

American and western atrocities exposed by social media...they are losing the propaganda war

 By the same argument, it is clear that Ukraine cannot be allowed to join NATO, which is very important for Russia. That is why Russia is not letting this 'Red Line' be crossed. Ukraine joining NATO will result in nukes being sited there and will never be removed as time goes by. If Ukraine ever joins NATO, Russia will just destroy Ukraine completely and turn it into a waste land, where agriculture cannot exist. It will be a new the stone age in the making.

Just look at Gaza, with children studying under makeshift tents in open ground after their school turned into dust by the Israelis. The children were shown sitting on the bare ground. It was shocking that schools, refugee centers, hospitals and even UN aid centers could be targeted and destroyed. Ukraine will suffer the same fate if it joins NATO.

With all these atrocities being reported and totally avoided by the MSM, little wonder they knew they have lost the social media war and are resorting to banning apps uncovering the reality. Australia is passing a new law to prevent those in the younger age group from access to information on social media. This will be the same modus operandi to be taken up by other Anglo-Saxo white countries using this test balloon. When they lost the ability to compete or counter, they resort to dirty tactics like banning apps such as Tik Tok.

Huawei's latest 3 fold high end Mate XT versus Apples' offer of skin deep colour schemes

 

Huawei Mate XT

TOKYO: If there is one thing that the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs is remembered for, it’s that he knew how to put on a show. Long before Apple became the world’s most valuable company, it was an underdog that masterfully stole spotlights and invigorated rebel consumers.

Huawei seems to have taken a leaf from this playbook in scheduling its own flashy product event on Tuesday (Sep 10) just hours after Apple’s annual iPhone keynote. The Chinese company unveiled the Mate XT, the world’s first triple-screen smartphone that folds like the letter Z.

Visuals of the never-before-seen triptych design made a splash online, especially in contrast to the new iPhone 16’s modest hardware upgrades, the most noticeable being a new button.

It didn’t help that Apple’s biggest selling point for the latest device is built-in artificial intelligence capabilities that won’t launch in the Chinese language until next year, and are subject to strict regulatory approval before hitting the lucrative market. The absence of this key feature in China drew widespread derision on domestic social media; one viral Weibo post mocked that the iPhone 16 should be half price without it. CNA Bloomberg Opinion’s Catherine Thorbecke.

 

This dumb Bloomberg writer called Huawei's Mate XT a flashy product but then admitted that it was the first triple screen smartphone against iPhone 16's modest hardware upgrades which offers 5 colour choices to push sales for a high end priced phone. What a joke! Would users buy iPhone because of a change in colour of the phone?

The other problem of iPhone 16 is supposed to be a built in artificial intelligence but won't be launched in the Chinese language until next year. Without this artificial intelligence app, the only thing new is the offer of 5 colours which would appeal to children that need such gimmicks, not serious users of high end phones.

So, which phone is just a flashy product and which is a serious gadget with advanced features? 

By the way, pre orders for the Mate XT has reached more than 5m pieces.

Ukraine War - Europe sinking in a quicksand they never expected and regretting

 Trump said trade war was easy to win. The Washington clowns think every war is easy to win, without knowing the enemy. So, with their brilliant stupid plan, they held Biden's hand to sign it and went to war with Russia. The key architect of this plan was none other than Victoria Neuland. She thought every country was like Iraq or Libya. And the Washington clowns fully agreed with her great stupid plan.

To the Washington clowns, it was an all out economic and financial war against Russia and the Russian economy would crumble and bite the dust within months. Thousands and thousands of sanctions were thrown at Russia. And the clowns in the European capitals also bought this stupid plan wholesale. After the retirement of Angela Merkel, probably forced out by the Americans, Olaf Scholz was anything but a midget in international politics, and ended up in the pocket of the Americans.

The other European leaders were no better than Scholz, another bunch of clowns across the Atlantic Ocean. They believed everything the Washington clowns told them or afraid to go against their colonial master. It would be a quick war, an easy war against the Russians if the whole of Europe were to gang up with the American terrorists against Russia.

It was all fantasy, like a Hollywood production, with the producer dictating every move, every word and every action and writing their own ending. The American heroes would win, must win. The enemies are nuts, unable to think, cannot think, and would sit there to be devoured and not knowing what to do. The realities said otherwise. The Russians are not duds or unthinking beans. They are as smart if not much smarter than the clowns on both sides of the Atlantic, and militarily more capable.

The Russians took the bull by the horns, and with full support from its people and allies, threw everything back at the Washington and European clowns. The Ukraine War is not over in a few months, and is now more than two and a half years and the Russians are winning. The only option left to the Washington and European clowns is to double down, and probably leading to a point of no return, all in.

This is not what the European clowns expected. They were hoping for a blitzkrieg as promised by the Washington clowns. If they know it would take so long, they would not have accepted the plan. Their economies cannot afford a long war. Their economies are at the brink of a recession. And they needed cheap Russian gas and oil and food to survive. Now all these have gone up in smokes.

The European economies are crumbling, not the Russians. And everyday the war goes on, the financial and economic burden would get heavier to bring down the European economies. Unfortunately there is no way out of this quicksand. Sink is the only way forward.

The Washington clowns have successfully brought down the whole of Europe instead of Russia. Who is to be blamed for this fiasco? China, the convenient scapegoat of the Washington clowns? The clowns would never blame themselves. It is always other people's fault, blame someone else, blame China, thousands of miles away from Europe.

While the Europeans are fumbling and wondering what to do next, how to exit from this mess, a big collapse is awaiting every one of the combatant in the Ukraine War. Europe is doomed, finito!

God works in his own mysterious way to destroy the devils in their own plans. Amen.

PS. And the little devils in London are pushing to strike at Moscow to invite Russia to nuke Europe for a quicker end to the European civilisation. Great friends.

Virgo's rumbling or morning bread

 Good morning All

Many FOOLS are living in this delusional and make believe World not accepting their true worth.

Still thought that they are the BEST whereas theu are NOT.

Especially their Leaders who only marked time as they knew only when to strike whilst the iron is HOT.

M.O.T. in their so called Democratic Free a World they are only churning their self interests of scouping the Wealth before their time is OUT.

Sinkeland, Sinkies still in deep slumber that their times are good forever.

India with their Indians still had the illusion that they are going to be Number One soon to ursurp China.

China is leaps and bounds ahead of every one including the damn illusionary still in their Americunts Dreams Land.

PRCs don't dream!

They worked for it.

Long long decades ago, if the Sinking Land Leaders are Smart enough to take the same route as the PRCs with their industrialisations and drives, today we shall have our own having one of the highest standard of livings and no one mostly platform workers struggling for a living.

Only a few of their lackeys and cronies are enjoying their present stage of luxurious lifes.

Now debating the protection of our platform workers.

Pathetic!

Whilst so many highly paid jobs and professions are been channelled to their so called foreign talents.

This is a just their facade and vengeance to punish the Sinkies who wanted more Opposition Wards and MPs that hurt their egos.

Anyway, foolish Sinkies are still in their illusionary dream land and shall wake up in horrors soon to find most of them RTS, i.e. Roam The Streets.

No eyes see.

 

Turkey a Trojan Horse wanting to join BRICS?

 BRICS may be admitting a Trojan Turkey into its fold, after having a Trojan Horse already playing havoc.

A nuclear device may be placed inside a Christmas Turkey for celebrating but which will sabotage BRICS, LOL.

Turkey is in NATO but not in EU tells us something very important and sinister. Turks are never accepted as Whites and can never co-exist as Whites with the Anglo-Saxon White clique. Turkey can only become cannon fodder for the Whites but cannot hope to share in the benefits of EU when the EU was strutting its economic feathers for the world to see. That is why nukes are placed inside Turkey and not in any other European state of NATO.

De dollarisation - Threat and bullying by the Americans are useless

 The USA now realize that de-dollarization is picking up traction and now openly threatening countries in BRICS attempting de-dollarize. It will be an exercise in futility.

BRICS countries can always trade among themselves using their own currency or the Yuan, like Russia in energy and two-way trade. What can the USA do? BRICS had already set up energy and grain exchanges and conducting trade in energy and agricultural products outside the US$. What can the USA do? These are all done outside the ability of the USA to monitor in value, to tell who did the trade and no Western Banks involved. The effect is just too enormous to ignore, especially in the energy and agricultural sectors.

India is everything the Indians want to believe in but not in reality

 But on social media, India is touted as the next China. India is already a self-anointed superpower, a self-declared next factory of the world, even bigger than China. The self-declared importance has lately been deflated by the news that Apple is moving some production back to China and Foxconn is building another facility in China to provide service to Apple.

India denied BYD's intention to build a EV plant in India, which in my opinion is a blessing in disguise for BYD. Now BYD is building that plant in Pakistan instead. Pakistan is delighted with the BYD investment.

Countries should not think that opportunities for building factories cannot succeed without them, as the world is so big, and countries elsewhere are extending open arms to invite such investments to grow their economy.

The frenzy to invest elsewhere by China is evident, as China has accumulated so much trade surplus to do exactly that. China has to find alternatives to recycle those surplus rather than investing them in risky USA assets like Treasuries. The confiscation of US$300 billion by the West is a very important lesson for China to divest its US$ holdings. More so now that the USA is instigating all the confrontation against China.

Israel's economy on free fall...the Gaza Genocide hitting back

 

Good News: Israel's Economy is Collapsing...7 min. 

Israel, once the high-flying 'Start-Up Nation,' is now struggling to keep its economic boat from sinking. With funds drying up faster than the Negev desert and an economy that's hitting more bumps than a Tel Aviv street, many are asking: what on earth happened?

Israel may think it is winning, but the financial cost must be paid and every day the war continues, the Israelis economy will keep evaporating. Israel may be killing the Palestinians, but it is also killing its own economy.  Israel's stock market has crashed. Israel cannot last another 6 months, the toll is heavy with able men drafted to commit genocide in Gaza and an imminent regional war about to flare up.

China, India and Singapore...which is the most advanced technology state?

 China is the biggest manufacturing state in the world, second only to the US in nominal GDP term. India is the next number one super power in the world, over taking China and the US in the future. Singapore is the richest country in South East Asia and among the top 5 in per capita income in the world.

Who among the three is the most advanced technology state? China came to Singapore in the late 1970s and continued to the 80s and 90s to learn from Singapore. They were great students and learnt very fast, learnt everything they could from Singapore. They were modest and even today, China still talks about learning from Singapore and Singapore still talks about teaching China about how to build smart and clean cities, except building space station.

One thing is certain. China never talk about learning from India. Singapore also never talk about teaching India how to build smart and clean cities. Maybe Singapore knows it is not up to it when India is concerned, a great country with abundant great talents. More often than not it is India that is coming to Singapore to teach Singapore about high tech, how to run the train system which India has vast experience, how to tackle flood problems, how to be a financial centre, about IT/AI, about making chips. India also offers its top talents to help Singapore to become a modern and advanced city state, in finance, in education and in technology. And Singapore is very grateful to India. Singapore knows that it is inferior to India in many ways when talents are concerned and learning from India, depending on India is second nature. Given a chance, Singapore would want all the Indian talents to replace no talent Singaporeans.

From the above relationships it is very clear that India is the most advanced technology state. India can teach and offer a lot to Singapore. And Singapore can teach and offer China a lot too. Some still believe in the American and western narrative that Chinamen are stupid, no talent, no skills, only good enough to be cooks and laundry men. Thus it can be safely concluded that Singapore ranks number two and China is the least advanced technology state of the three. One exception, India would not dare to go to China to want to teach China about advanced technology. Wondering why is that so?

With CECA, Singapore is very fortunate to have India helping it to become a modern city state, a financial centre and a smart IT city state props up by Indian IT talents. Without the Indian IT talents, Singapore would still be struggling to become a smart city with its limited or no talent population. Modi has just been here to show Singapore the way going forward, to teach Singapore to progress. Only the Indians have the audacity to say so to Singapore and Singaporeans.

China still has a lot to learn from Singapore...but not from India unless it wants to become another India.

What do you think?

West want to keep Africa poor! Africa looking to China for help

 Africans are pragmatic. China was no richer than Africa more than three decades ago. Within that space of time, China lifted 850 million Chinese out of poverty. If that is not a testimonial of China's humanity, what else is to be taken as the hallmark of China's capability?

And China is helping Africa in the same way, with no bias against the stigma of being poor and should be left to fester. What is wrong with China providing aid to Africa to be paid back in resources extracted by joint ventures formulated to ensure a win-win situation? Like China today, progress in Africa is an affront to the West's intention to keep Africa poor and dependent on their colonization and pilfering of resources. All the wars that the colonial powers created benefited the Anglo-Saxon Whites and brought sufferings to the Africans. Is that what African's want going forward?

EU is collapsing! Russia and BRICS rising!

 Whatever happened to the narrative that Russia is isolated and have no friends? Whatever happened to the narrative that the Russian Ruble is becoming rubble, and Russia will collapse with all the sanctions? Oh, no, Russia is doing even better than the EU countries and will become great again. BRICS is expanding, which means Russia is having more friends in its fold. What a slap on the face of Biden, Johnson, Scholz, Macron, Von de Leyen and Stoltenberg.

The biggest irony is that the EU is collapsing instead of Russia. Germany is sliding down into the sewers, never mind Olaf Scholz still strutting his stuff about providing more aid to Ukraine at all costs for Germany.

Ukraine itself is even auctioning national assets to pay for the war, which indicates aid is hard to come by. Who is buying those sitting duck assets in Ukraine? Maybe Zelensky knows it is all over, selling everything, and taking all the money and running to his private island to live in luxury. That is provided the Russians are willing to let bygones be bygones.

Despite all the game changing moves with fresh weapons, everything looks gloomy for Ukraine. Russia is advancing by gaining more territory while the Kursk invasion by Ukraine is being taken care of by other Russian troops moved from the Eastern region. It was a miscalculation by Zelensky hoping to lure Russian troops on the Ukrainian front to be diverted to Kursk and hoping to use Kursk as a bargaining chip to talk peace.

Coups and social unrests engineered by CIA, NED and NGOs are failing everywhere

 This is to be expected, as those are stooges cultivated by the USA to take over the country targeted for regime change when they are successful. Ukraine is a perfect example and Pakistan and Bangladesh are indications of their encroachment success using the same tactic. The CIA and USA funded NGOs will work the ground, instigating chaos, underwriting the cost of protest. Everything is worth it when they succeed. That was what happened in Hong Kong.

But then, they failed in Russia with Alexei Navalny's death, wiping out all the years of cultivation and cost of working the ground. Russians in general failed to support Navalny and he was looked upon as a traitor.

And they also failed in Myanmar, with Aung San Suu Kyi's cultivation about to bear fruit and take over the country, using her father's legacy to garner all the support. That was also an expensive foray for the USA. But they are not content and still wants to bring chaos to Myanmar today by funding the rebels.

Another big failure was in Venezuela, even using mercenaries trained by the CIA to take down the Government of legally elected Nicolas Maduro. The USA is still at it, as the oil reserves of Venezuela is such a tantalizing target for seizure.

There were other failures, notably in Kazakhstan, which with Russian help was able to put down the attempt at regime change.

The USA cultivated Muslim radicalized elements in Xinjiang were used to create chaos at the same time as events in Hong Kong were unfolding, trying to destabilize China. These radicalized elements were later arrested and sent to re-education camps, which the West spun into concentration camps to demonize China. The cat is now out of the bag as foreign vloggers are helping to counter the lies and present a true picture of the state of affairs in Xinjiang. But backfiring is never a shame for the West by being exposed naked. They have no moral sense to feel any shame.

De dollarisation - 159 countries confirmed to adopt BRICS financial system

 There are 195 in the world today. Given that 159 countries are joining BRICS new financial system, it means only 36 countries are not in, about all the American and European countries. There are 28 countries in EU and 3 Anglo Saxon countries in US, Australia and New Zealand, and Israel, and a few die hard American colonies like Japan and South Korea and a handful of crony states that would be left out.

With the new BRICS system, the world would be clearly divided between the American SWIFT system and the new system. Many countries may still be using both systems but if the American terrorists would to sanction those joining the BRICS system, then likely many would leave the SWIFT system altogether.

Did the rogue American propaganda jeered at China and Russia for having very few friends? For 159 countries willing to make the move to join the BRICS financial system, the writing is on the wall. These countries have had enough of the bullying and threats of the American terrorists and want a new and fairer system, to be free from the aggressive and atrocious Americans. 

The American hegemony and ability to oppress and threaten the world are over! It would be good if Trump is re elected and impose sanctions on the 159 countries. Then the Americans would be left to play with the balance 36 countries in the world. By sanctioning others, the Americans would be isolating themselves from the rest of the world. Now that would be nice.

The BRICS meeting in Kazan would welcome a new world order without the Americans and their colonies and cronies. This is truly a world shattering event of the century. The final nail on the coffin of the American Empire. 

Adios Americano!

PS.  Russian state-funded news outlet RT retracted a report that incorrectly said 159 countries had adopted a "new BRICS payment system" but not before the false claim spread across social media. RT misquoted a Russian official who said that 159 "participants" – not 159 countries -- had adopted Moscow's SPFS system for bank transfers, which sanctions-hit Russia uses as an alternative to the global SWIFT system.

Anyway, this is only a matter of time.
