Would ASEAN want to be American colonies like EU?

 Question is why did ASEAN invite the Devil in Chief into the house in the first place? Whose idea was it really? Or was ASEAN being forced to? You know, the 'You are either with US or against US' is a very forceful threat.

Europe incorporated the devil into the house and failed to get rid of it and been used by it to further its interest. Now Europe is suffering. This is a good example for ASEAN not to follow. But the USA already has a strong footing in ASEAN affairs with the Philippine at its whims and fancies. The USA found its weak link by holding Mickey Mouse hostage, using his father's wealth in its hands as a bargaining chip.

Other countries in ASEAN, with the exception of you know who, are not at all falling in line with the devil. Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia are close to Beijing. Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have important trade links with Beijing and knows who is buttering their bread. But the USA will continue to try to split the good relations. This is to be expected. Chinese influence in South-East Asia is still strong.

Why would ASEAN, with its relatively peaceful existence, want to engage in geopolitical conflicts like the Europeans to benefit someone else. It will bring them nothing good. China will always be around and will not collapse tomorrow. China has been around for 5,000 years and did China create much trouble for ASEAN? Hardly, other than the disputes in the South-China Sea that had been around for, perhaps centuries, and just hyped up over the last couple of decades.

Watch this video on Youtube - 'Tiny Singapore's battle with Western media/Lee Kuan Yew'.

Lee Snr told Western media interviewers that Asians are not as stupid as the West thinks, to fall for Western media propaganda that always try to disrupt Governments with misinformation, disinformation, instigation and fabricated reports to undermine elected Governments that stands in their way.

The fact is that the USA and the West dislike, or should I say hate, strong leaders like Lee, Mahathir, and now Putin and Xi Jinping. The USA loves weak leaders like Suharto and Marcos Snr in the past, leveraging on the military that they control to hold on to power. Today the USA and the West favor the likes of weaklings like Mickey Marcos, Shigeru Ishiba and Yoon, whom they can control and dictate to. Some are so weak like Yoon, that have to grovel like a dog and be forced to sing USA songs at the behest of Biden. The South Korean people ought to feel ashamed. And I am just talking about weak leaders in Asia, not in Europe now, whose weaknesses have been laid bare for the world to see.

Elsewhere, they also do not like Military Leaders in control like in Myanmar and Thailand before. They claim to dislike dictators that they cannot control like Kim Jong Un, but when it comes to those they can control like in some African countries, they consort with them to destroy the country. Mohammed bin Salman and his father's earlier lineage are de-facto dictators, even if they tried to discount that, yet having lots of loving relations between Saudi Arabia and the USA.

Here in ASEAN, the USA and the West are now working with the CIA and their funded NGOs working hard on the ground to instigate regime changes in countries like Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, all having close relations with Beijing. It has nothing to do about upholding human rights of its people in those countries That is just eyewash when they talk about human rights issue. Look closer into the state of affairs in those Western countries and you will understand - escalating poverty, unaffordable healthcare, escalating cost of living especially in energy, and the people having little choice to enjoy cheaper consumer products that the rest of the world is able to. What rights do the people in those Western countries actually have? Just freedom to vote does not mean a better future for them.

I would also like to take this opportunity to warn those viewers who happened to watch videos of some pro-Western sites and be careful of what kind of propaganda they are fabricating and promoting.

What I want to say is all been said here on this site 'The Electric Viking' titled 'China Observer says BYD debt soars to US$73 billion; concerns Evergrande
Repeat'. China Observer is a hardcore anti-China site fabricating bullshit at every opportunity and is a site targeting basically the USA audience, which garners massive viewership, true or not I am really unsure. We know that Youtube can do wonders with viewership numbers depending on who is vlogging on which sites.

'The Electric Viking' is all about the EV business, nothing baised about its balanced contents that I often looked up.

Suffice to say, most sites with the title 'China this and that' falls into the category of fabricated news version demonizing China in the social media war. Be warned.

Singaporean TikTok CEO summoned to European Parliament over role in shock Romania election

A top EU lawmaker is demanding that TikTok's chief executive appear before the European Parliament to answer questions about the platform's role in Sunday's Romanian presidential election, as researchers warn of covert activity on thousands of fake accounts leading up to the vote.

The first-round victory of the ultranationalist and pro-Russian Călin Georgescu has triggered shockwaves about the political trajectory of the EU and NATO country, with many concerns focused on how a TikTok campaign managed to propel an unknown candidate from obscurity. A second-round will be held on Dec. 8.

"We call on the CEO of TikTok to come to speak in this house and to ensure his platform conducted to no infringement under the DSA," Valérie Hayer, head of the liberal Renew Europe group, told a press conference on Thursday, referring to the Digital Services Act, Europe's rulebook for online content.

Hayer's appeal comes only two days after Georgescu's shock victory. He had no party backing and polls had failed to pick up on his popularity — though researchers are now zeroing on a major TikTok campaign he led in the days leading up to the election.

"We believed that Tiktok was misused and was led to be misused by him and an army of fake accounts that were used for his purpose," said Bogdan Manolea, executive director of the Romanian campaign group, Association for Technology and Internet.

Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu on Tuesday said funding for Georgescu's campaign on TikTok needed to be reviewed. "It's a system, I don't know how legal it is, I understood how the system was used. The source of financing, in my opinion, is to be followed, 'follow the money.'"
