Singaporeans should work overseas and let foreigners work here

Too much home comfort? Singapore needs more citizens to work abroad and gain international exposure

There are many advantages of staying grounded in Singapore, especially as working overseas may not necessarily pay better, but experts say that the advantages of gaining international work experience will pay off handsomely in the long run.  Taufiq Zalizan CNA

"The problem for Singaporeans … is that there's simply no economic reason to work overseas, especially in the region," said the associate professor at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).

Jobs here pay better than their equivalents in neighbouring countries and even in some developed countries after accounting for expenses and taxes, labour and manpower experts noted. Thus, it is hardly attractive for Singaporeans to leave the comfort of their homes and families to work abroad....

The above is from an article by a foreigner or new citizen encouraging Singaporeans to leave their better paying jobs in Singapore, uproot from their families, to work overseas for lesser pay but to gain experience. The reasoning to some point is sound, but with a big hole that smells foul.

Not only it is difficult to get a good job overseas. Today, many countries are paying lesser than jobs in Singapore, and overseas jobs are not easy to come by. The biggest flaw about gaining foreign experience as an advantage is meaningless when many Singapore companies, big and small, are nothing different from chicken rice stalls, selling goods and services that are local in nature that do not compete with foreign companies, and their customers are Singaporeans, and with little chance of operating in an international environment. Even if one or two go overseas, they hardly need the foreign experience when the advantage is being a Singapore product.

This is the big bull in this argument about gaining foreign experience. It may be useful to some top jobs, but most of the time it is something good to have but not essential. More than 90% of jobs, including top jobs do not need overseas experience. Overseas experience gained for lower and middle management jobs are nothing to crow about.

The displacement and dislocation costs are prohibitive and a very high price to pay for Singaporeans working overseas. There is no guarantee that they can get a comparable job on their return. 

The biggest advantage for this kind of thinking is that more foreigners can come in to replace Singaporeans in good jobs with better pay. It would lead to the hollowing out of out talents and be replaced by foreigners. This is an existential threat to Singapore, when talented Singaporeans work overseas and foreigners come in to replace them. It is a deadly blood transfusion, supposedly good but really bad for Singapore. Singapore is home to Singaporeans not to foreigners.

Chicken rice sellers don't need overseas experience. Period. All govt and ministry jobs do not need overseas experience. Most GLCs don't need overseas experience. Even the CEOs of local banks do not need overseas experience. It is only something good to have. Tell me, which job must have overseas experience, that overseas experience is essential, a must have? Stop being fooled into selling out Singaporeans and allowing foreigners to take over Singapore. The days when overseas jobs are better paying and worthy of the experience and the sacrifices of dislocation and working away from home is over. A Singaporean working overseas would have a tough time readjusting and adapting on returning to Singapore, and often becomes poorer financially and in many other aspects. The cost of housing and cars would kill the thought of returning to Singapore. The cost of living here would make returning to Singapore very difficult, except for a few top jobs that pays enough to return.

Only foreigners would encourage Singaporeans to work overseas so that they can take over their jobs and their country, Singapore. Anyone promoting or telling Singaporeans to work overseas, ask who are they, are they Singaporeans, what are their motive and intention.

When America and Europe have nothing to sell to the world

 When America and Europe have nothing to sell to the world.  Actually this is already happening now. China just confidently banned all buying of American chips, not just Nvidia high end chips, but all chips, including those from AMD, Intel and Qualcomm. This means that China is now able to develop and manufacture all the chips it needs for itself and for the rest of the world. This means that the growth potential of all American chip designers and manufacturers have been capped. Without the huge Chinese markets that can buy in large volumes, the American companies cannot plan for future expansion and bigger sales. No country needs to buy big volumes of chips, expensive chips from America. No country has that kind of need and money to do so.

Chips are about the last thing that China needs to buy from America. When China does not need to buy Chips from America, there is nothing else that China needs to buy from America or even Europe. China is now self sufficient in everything it needs. This is not the only thing that would frighten the Americans and Europeans. China is going to sell to the rest of the world everything they need, cheaply and plenty, with quality as good if not better than America and Europe. This is the end of free trade for America and Europe. They cannot compete with China in quality, quantity and price. A good example is civil and military aircraft. Even if the Americans can coerce its allies to buy them, they cannot deliver them. They did not have the manufacturing capacity to build fast and in big quantities.  And why would any country want to buy poorer quality, less able and more expensive aircraft from the Americans and Europe when they can get better aircraft from China?

When America and Europe cannot sell to the world, unable to compete, where are their revenues going to to come from? How are their factories going to continue to produce and to exist, to create employment, jobs, when they cannot sell anything to the world? When that happens, and is happening now, America and Europe will have no money to buy anything from the rest of the world. They can only buy and trade among themselves in their little world, by raising trade barriers. They will become an island of their own, trading and consuming expensive and lower quality goods that the world does not need.

What kind of world would it be when America and Europe have nothing to sell to the world, nothing to trade with the rest of the world? The rest of the world will be trading and enjoying the best products at the best prices they are willing and happy to pay from China. China's over capacity in all essential and useful products would only improve the quality of lives of the people of the world. The Americans and Europeans too would be buying Chinese goods and services and those made in the Global South countries. No one can refuse good value for money that does not hurt the pocket.

America and India blames China for their unemployment problems. What an idiot.

The action of the USA and Europeans are actually turning into a blessing in disguise for countries in Africa, Latin America and some Eastern European countries after China migrated its investing and factories building from USA and Europe into those countries to create jobs for their citizens.

While jobs are being deprived in USA and Europe by cutting off Chinese investments, other countries in the Global South are counting their blessings. While the Global South countries are moving ahead, the USA and its European allies are being left behind.

I have to mention one example of what is happening closer to Asia, with India refusing to allow BYD to build a factory in India. BYD decided instead built its factory in Pakistan, a tight slap on Modi's face. Now who is benefiting from BYD's investment? Play stupid games and get stupid prizes is what India is doing. India needs jobs, plenty of it. Now the Indian rupee is at all-time low and India is going to be a basket case in time to come.

How much longer can Modi hope to sell his snake oil is anybody's guess. But the damage has already been done and knowing how Indians do things, it will take generations to put things in order, provided India gets a good leader to replace him. With all the corruption rampant in its top leaders today, things do not look optimistic even if they try to drain the swamp. Someone else tried draining its swamp, but is making it even swampier, LOL.

Yep, China is collapsing if it makes some people happy

Yep, China is collapsing if it makes some people happy. On social media, those anti-China bots are posting ridiculous videos about China's tofu bridges, tofu train stations, tofu airports collapsing every day. Yet countries are asking China to build their infrastructures like high-speed rails, ports, airports, bridges and nuclear power stations that are touted to fail. China's robots performing stunts are claimed to be remote controlled and I suppose even Xi Jinping and Wang Yi are remotely controlled by someone. Maybe Trump?

I do not have to watch such mindless production. The heading already tells me what the motive was for posting such fabricated nonsense that contains not an iota of truth, totally different from reality.

Alright, let them crow on their dung heap about China collapsing. The truth is, China had been collapsing over the last two decades and a half up to today and will continue to collapse for several more decades to come. Does fiction make any difference when China is having a trade surplus of US$1 trillion after decades of collapsing? Who knows who else is realistically collapsing?

Time to fight the American terrorists in uniform

These Murderers on the UASSA'S Isignias Uniforms are Wars Heros/Herrings, oops Heroines when ran for CON-GRESS and SENILE-NATORS shall bragged how many they killed in their Invasions and Robberies of the weaker and helpless Countries and their own Insane Dysfunctional Sick Americunts shall cheer and elect them.

Their luxurious lives on Robberies, Killing and Manipulations of Other Lives and Livings.

Living on FREE credits of the Stupidities of the World for too long.

With their Free printing of their no collaterals no assets backing banana currency.

Now with China controlling their Rare Earth for their Military Industries it's high time that China should accelerate faster their military arsenals and also same time supplied to other allied nations to upscale their Military Prowess and then simultaneously annihilate the damn White Barbarians and Savages

Don't missed this golden opportunity

China will welcome anyone to its space station without fear of sabotage

 Spy fears in space: Russian cosmonaut abruptly removed from ISS mission

He was due to join the International Space Station (ISS) in early 2026. Oleg Artemyev, a 54-year-old Russian cosmonaut and experienced figure in the Russian space program, has been removed from NASA's next mission after photographing confidential SpaceX equipment.  Daily Digest

The Russians are the bad people, even quite stupid. They were the main contributors to the ISS. They were the ones that sent Americans to the ISS with their rockets when the Americans cannot build a rocket to take their astronauts to the ISS. Now the Americans are accusing them of spying and a threat to 'their' space station and booted their cosmonauts from the ISS. What a joke! But the silly Russians would continue to help the Americans to bring their astronauts to the ISS when needed. They will never learn anything from American treachery and betrayal.

Fortunately, this stupidity would be ending soon when the ISS has to be decommissioned whether the Americans like it or not. It is already too risky, overstaying their expiry date. The ISS was supposed to be decommissioned 10 years ago. But to do so means the American and their allies' astronauts would be all dressed up but no where to go, except the Arizona Desert make up moon.

Soon there will be only one space station in space, China's Tiangong. But the Americans and their allies need not worry that they have no space station to go to. Idiots in China will open their arms widely to welcome them to the Tiangong. They, like the Russians, would not learn from being cheated and betrayed by the Americans and their allies. The Chinese trust and love the Americans and their allies, very desperate to want to welcome them to their Tiangong space station. The Chinese are not afraid of spies and saboteurs. They believe the Americans and their allies are very nice people and will not do harm to their Tiangong space station. Stupidity has no cure!

Just watch how eager the Chinese will be to bring their enemies, oops, good American friends and American allies to their space station. The Chinese have already forgotten that they paid a big sum for space cooperation, to build the ISS and were booted out from the programme after paying. Being bullied and cheated by the Americans and the White men is second nature of being Chinese. They will still love and trust the Americans and their allies as good guys.

Welcome to the Tiangong space station!.... when the ISS is kaput. The Chinese are sending invitations to the Americans and their allies to visit their Tiangong space station.

Bleeding the bankrupt American Empire

  The Washington clowns only think that they are the smartest people in town. They decided everything, planned and schemed everything for their own advantage. They thought so. All their schemes will work as planned. They planned for years to bring down Russia and Ukraine was the opening move to start a war and drain the resources of Russia. They imposed the mother of all sanctions to bleed Russia dry.

3 years have gone by, the war is turning the favour Russia. The total defeat of the Ukrainian Neo Nazi regime is around the corner. The Russian economy is intact and getting stronger, did not collapse. Which economy or economies are collapsing? The writing is on the wall. Europe is gasping for air, its last gasp. The American economy is also in the same shape except that it could print more toilet papers to keep up the pretence for a little while longer. It also benefitted from squeezing the Europeans to buy expensive American gas and oil and goods at exorbitant prices. The Americans have burnt billions and billions in Ukraine but has got not a cent back from Ukraine. The amount spent is in the account books, waiting to be squared.

The Americans also tried everything to bleed China, to stop its growth, through all kinds of wars and sanctions. The Chinese economy also did not collapse but growing bigger by the day. It is the American economy that is in the ICU. Bankruptcies are rampant in America, companies and factories, retail outlets closing every day. But the Americans are gloating that all is fine. Unemployment has gone down, inflation gone down, cost of living gone down...if these are true. But never mind. The American media are reporting all the good news, and the hillbillies and rednecks are not hurt yet except those that are living from paycheck to paycheck, the families with children to feed.

The Americans are still engaging in wars, enthusiastically trying to start more wars. They believe they have all the money to fight more wars. They can issue more bonds to borrow more money, to print more money. Money would not run out. American dollar will be in demand for many years to come despite dedollarisation.

The Military Industrial War Complex are also very happy. Fabricating all the excuses to produce and manufacture more and more expensive weapons to fight more expensive wars. Never mind if the aircraft carriers and warships are no longer relevant in modern warfare. Never mind if a few thousand dollar missile could sink a multi million or multi billion aircraft carrier, warship or warplane. There are still plenty of money to be made. Just keep printing more money, raise more taxes, it is only the taxpayers that are paying.

On the other side of the war equation, the enemies are not building expensive warplanes or warships to fight the Americans. They are fighting the Americans with cheap missiles, rockets, drones, like throwing stones at the expensive American war machine. And it still works. The slippers wearing Houthis are effectively blocking the American aircraft carriers and warships in the Red Sea. Russia has given them the deadly anti aircraft carrier hypersonic Yakhont missiles. The Russians must have also deployed these in the Caribbean, waiting to sink aircraft carrier and warships there. Russian weapons are now in many Central and Latin American states.

It is called asymmetrical warfare. Fighting cheap and lean against fat, sloppy and expensive American men and machine. A Houthis fighter needs only $2000 a year to fight. A GI needs $100,000 a year to upkeep. Putting an aircraft carrier at sea costs at least $5m a day, just floating around, without firing a shot. Who can last longer in this kind of warfare? Who is bleeding who to death? Don't tell the clowns in Washington. They would not know. They cannot see what is happening. Shhhhh, don't tell them.

The 800 American bases overseas, not counting those inside America homeland, the thousands of men in each aircraft carrier, the multi million dollar a shot defensive missiles, the F35s, F15s and F16s, all needs to be filled up or fed with money.  The American money printing machine is printing overtime.

When would the American economy be bled dry? Or already bankrupt many times. No need to place any trade sanction against America. American is bleeding by self inflicted wounds.

The Americans and West want to cripple China's economy, China can do likewise to them

China is going to cripple foreign chipmakers with its rare earth control. The USA and allies are rushing to form alliances to counter China, but how realistic are those moves? It is too little too late. Trump can boast about having so much rare earth by next year that he does not know what to do with them. Without Chinese processing and refining facilities, those are just dirt dug up for nothing. Yes, keep boasting and let us see what comes from it. China is just sitting tight and waiting for the circus to come to town.

Just by crippling ASML, the lithography machine manufacturer, with its rare earth deprivation will also cripple all the other chipmakers in Arizona and Japan eventually. Sure, ASML and other downstream chipmakers may have stocks of rare earth elements to tide them over for the time being, but in this cut-throat world of cost-saving, keeping only 'just in time' stocks for about one or two weeks or even shorter is the norm. What happens when those stocks run out is a moot question.

Like automakers in USA, Europe and Japan, cutting off Nexperia chips by China saw Honda, Nissan and VW cutting production and suffering massive losses. They had exhausted their Nexperia supplied chips and cannot move forward with their production. They had everything necessary to make a car, except just the Nexperia chips alone, which stalled all the production. Some may resort to black market deals, but China will make sure that the loophole will close, just like the attempts to smuggle soya beans using fake country of origin being discovered and closed up. South Korea and India were also reselling rare earth sourced from China and are now suffering the consequences in their own industry.

Killing Whites is terrorism. Killing coloured people is not a crime

Whites Died and got Killed the White Barbarians cried "Terrorism" and those who took revenge on them for their REAL Terrorists Acts are TERRORISTS!

Whereas the Coloured Peoples killed by the millions by them are Pariahs.

Now actually they the White Savages are the Ones who caused all the Chaos in the Invasions and upheavals of these socalled non White Countries and they hypocritically accepted them as asylums.

Now they started killing the Whites as Karmas and they blamed those with the same religions of those peaceful countries also as Terrorists and banned them.

Whereas they are the Ones on their damn Whites equally Bullshits Crusades against other non believers who don't believe in their Murderous Religion.

Rogue America wants China to behave like them...be careful of what you are asking for

Trump wants Xi to behave like him, pardoning criminals and cronies without consequences and with Lawmakers closing eyes to what he is doing. If China does that, probably the MSM's sky will fall, demonizing China's dictatorial Government. Call it Skyfall, the political earthquake, LOL.

Why must China play the same game as what the USA and the West wanted it, when its survival is at stake. Trump is not happy and had always been complaining that China is not playing the same game in the economic, military and geopolitical arena.

The USA and the West and its hedge fund owners particularly, want China to allow them freely to tear China and Hong Kong's economy to bits with attacks on their stock market, property market and financial system. They want to show the world that socialism is a fragile system, unable to weigh up to the Western system and easily brought down by outside attacks. Instead, China has withstood all the attacks using religion, drugging, forming gangs to tear China apart, trade wars, technology wars and tariff wars. What else is next?

Nonsensical white men's distorted lies circulating as reports

 The US and China owe half the world’s public debt

Most of this public debt is owed by the United States and China, with Washington’s debt burden standing at 35.4% of the global share and China’s standing at 16.8%. Together, the two countries hold 51.8% of the world’s government debt. The United States owes a staggering $38.2 trillion, which is 125% of the US Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is also known as the debt-to-GDP ratio, and it's critical for understanding public debt....

What is an unsustainable debt-to-GDP ratio?

There is no consensus on when a nation’s national debt becomes unsustainable, but a 2023 estimate from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania noted that the US national debt would become unsustainable if it reached the range of 175% to 200%. So at the moment, the US national debt hasn’t become a major crisis.

Debt-to-GDP ratios of other nations are more complicated to calculate. A 2010 research paper from the World Bank cited by the IMF found that 90% could be the tipping point for most nations, whereas other reports have marked 110% and 115% as the tipping points. This could put China in trouble since Beijing’s current debt-to-GDP ratio stands at 96.3% of its $18.7 trillion in public debt.

Other top ten debt holders with debt-to-GDP problems

At present, other nations in the top the top ten nations with the largest share of public debt in 2025 include Japan, which carries 8.9% of the world’s public debt at $9.8 trillion and has a debt-to-GDP ratio of 229.6%, the United Kingdom, which has a share of 3.7%, 4.09 trillion in debt, and a ratio of 103.4%. Other nations in the top ten of world debt holders with high debt-to-GDP ratios include France (116.5%), Italy (136.8%), and Canada (113.9%).  The Daily Digest

The above report from The Daily Digest is another typical mischievous white men's lie slanted to make China look bad. It is like the claim that American economy is rock solid with a 1% GDP growth while China's economy is bad with a 5% GDP growth! Only the most lazy and unthinking would not be able to see the lie, that 1% GDP growth is better than 5% GDP growth. I personally met someone at a dinner who told me that American economy was rock solid and China's economy was in trouble. When I told the person the GDP numbers, he was dumbfounded. I could see that he felt so stupid for just reading the headlines.

I have highlighted the statistical flaws in bold in the above article. The Americans had a 125% debt to GDP ratio and China was 96%. Two numbers were given as indicators of an economy in trouble, 110-115% or 175-200%. The American's 125% is sign of trouble using the 110-115% number. China's 96.3% is way outside both parameters, should be very safe. But instead of saying the American economy could be in trouble, it actually said China's economy was in trouble!

Then look at the last paragraph, Japan's number was 229.6%, UK was 103.4%, all above China with Japan's 229.6% busting both sets of parameters. But nothing was mentioned about Japan's economy in trouble.

And not to forget, China has a national reserve of more than US$3 trillion, possibly even more. And the US has a national debt of more than US$38 trillion and very happy and very safe and strong. This is the typical way of reporting lies and distorted truth about China to imply that ,... China is collapsing, NOT the USA. Very soon, in less than 5 years, the American and European economies are going to collapse one by one.

China's economy facing insurmountable problems, collapsing soon without western analysts' clever ideas

 This is the type of narratives in all western media and the media of western crony states. Everyday, without failed, they will repeatedly published such junks as news, to tell their readers that paid good money, with such fake news, to make their readers more stupid than ever. For many unthinking and indiscriminating readers, they are made to believe that China is on the way to doom. China is crumbling, collapsing, China will be turned to dust, to become a dysfunctional poor country again.

On the other hand, America has no problem at all. America's economy is rock solid with negative growth, with US$38 trillion national debt, crumbling infrastructure, homelessness, joblessness, job losses hitting new highs, businesses closing down, factories closing down, with nothing to compete, no problem at all. This is normal in America. Do not underestimate America. America will innovate to become great again even with clowns in charge. If they can't innovate, they will invade to rob, like in Venezuela now, and earlier in Iraq, Libya and Syria, and about to tear Ukraine apart.

Never mind that America is on the decline. This is only temporary. China's continuous growth in the last 4 decades is freak, not real. China's statistics are not real, only American statistics are real. America does not need to trade with China, does not need the China market. America can sell to the world with its great products, like soya beans and bacons, and of course high end chips. Everyone will want to buy high end chips from America, if they have the money... except China with the money but not buying.

These 'anal' lysts are the cleverest people on earth to save China. They know all the problems and fake problems of China. They have all the solutions for China. But they cannot see any problem in America. America is in good hands, in the hands of clowns, conmen, cheats, felons, and D graders, and they will make America great again without the clever ideas of these clever 'anal' lysts.

How did China achieve all the growths in the last 4 decades from a poor third world country to be the biggest manufacturing nation, the top trading partners of more than 150 countries if it is governed by the same clowns in Washington? By fluke, by luck? A nation of 1.4 billion people is now living the highest quality of life not found in many countries. The people turned China what it is today did not fade away overnight. They are still there and trying to make China even better, without the need for fake western 'anal' lysts that cannot even make themselves rich and successful except writing craps to make a few dollars.

China will keep rising by leaps and bounds. China is now ahead of the US in 14 of the top 18 high end industries. Soon China will be the top nation in all the high tech industries and innovations. And America and the West will be lost in history, without the western 'anal' lysts helping them with their clever ideas of how to run their economies. Not only America is bankrupt, Europe is in deeper shit than America. China will be producing everything to sell to the world, the things that were used to be made by America and Europe. The only thing left that China has yet to beat is high end chips, the only thing that the West can still sell to the world at a profit. Once China overcomes this, and very soon, the Americans and the West will no longer be able to sell anything to the world. Get that!

No amount of fake news and silly news by silly 'anal' lysts and silly western media and their crony media can change anything. Knowing the truth is very painful. The truth hurts, not fake news and silly news. They can only make their readers more silly and more stupid and more ignorant.

While America and the West are producing clowns in their education systems that cannot even compete with unranked universities in Indian villages, China is producing 14 million top engineers every year alone. China's education system is producing millions and millions of talents in all fields to take the country to greater height. Do the 'anal' lysts even know about this? The future is all about high tech and science, not 'anal' lysts that wrote nonsense to dupe the readers that they are smart and the readers are stupid.

More bad news for the USA, unexploded bunker buster bomb in the hands of Iran, Russia and China

More bad news for the USA. There is a report that an unexploded bunker buster bomb has fallen into the hands of Iran and its secret components extracted and given to either Russia or China for re-engineering, which has made the USA paranoid and furious. True or not is not verified. This is in addition to the unexploded bomb used by Israel against Hezbollah in Lebanon now claimed to be in the hands of Iran.

The USA is very fearful of an F35 falling into the hands of its enemy, which will be game over. Anyway, China already has the technology to track this stealth plane, so nothing unsafe now to sell to every Tom, Dick and Harry, right? There will always be scapegoats waiting to be slaughtered.

On the other hand, some countries are making a beeline to buy Chinese fighters jets like the J10C, said to be with semi-stealth characteristics. What does it matter regarding stealth if new tracking technology are invented and available to all and sundry.

Asking Trump to broker peace is like asking a fox to bring peace in a hen house

Asking Trump to broker a peace deal by his presence is as good as asking a fox to bring peace to a squabbling hen house. His presence alone will make it worse. But there are still countries kissing his arse and thinking he can do the necessary with his presence using threats and sanctions. They should know better that Trump is a serial conman, with six bankruptcies to his name.

Politicians of the world are getting dumb and dumber. No wonder people are saying that in the West, the only qualification needed to be a top politician is 'stupidity'. Just look no further than the circus in the USA and the EU.

Oops, I should also say that there were business morons that were also still conned by Trump one after another, being aware of his bankruptcy reputation after all his failings and still being given lessons that were never learnt.

And the mother of all stupidity must be FIFA giving Trump a 'peace prize'. This must also be the mother of all jokes. Honestly, I have lost all interest in watching football and the World Cup.

America in shit, China must NOT help like in the last Financial Crisis

The Americunts now with shits full in their Hands are just playing coy to shake hands with China.

Now marking Time to settle their chaos first.

China must never ever fall into their traps!

Just like saving them in the last Financial Crisis.

They needed China now to support their Sales of Treasury Bonds etc.

Also release of their Rare Earths for their Wars Industries.

China now with Russia should stepped up all their Pressures to contain the UAssA and their doggies especially JEPUN.

Do not be like past History of Empress Wu of China when she spared the life of the Third Prince from death by poison, the Third Prince given another State in exile returned with an Army to reclaim the Throne.

The Americunts are also just awaiting to destroy China when they regroup and start their Evil schemes and Agenda again.

Trump declares war on China

 The American terrorists first seized a Venezuelan oil tanker with more than a million barrel of oil, likely en route to China. Next, they boarded a cargo vessel from China en route to Iran, very likely a Chinese ship, a repeat of the Yinhe Incident in 1993, when the Americans cut off the GPS, forced all Midle Eastern ports not to allow Yinhe to dock, and caused the ship to wander in the high sea for 33 days on fake charges of carrying  chemical weapons for Iran. China then was unable to fight back, and eventually allowed the American terrorists to board the ship to search through every container, but found nothing. China has been waiting to avenge this humiliating act and the bombing of its Belgrade Embassy in 1999.

Trump has now ordered a full blockade of all oil tankers in and out of Venezuelan port, a move directly aimed at China as China is the main buyer of Venezuelan oil, 90% of all Venezuelan crude. This aggressive and hostile act of Trump is as good as declaring war on China.

What is Xi going to do? Capitulate like in 1993 and 1999, which is as good as surrendering to Trump. Xi can hit back, but how? Sailing warships to protect tankers in and out of Venezuela would put China at a big disadvantage. The logistics did not favour China.

If Trump is willing to play rough, to cut off China's oil supply from Venezuela, this is forcing China to fight or flight. Xi now has no choice but to act in one way or another. Cutting off rare earths completely to America is a likely option. Cutting off all agreements in the Meeting in South Korea is another. Trump wants to kill off China. Xi has to do something similar to Trump. This is many times more hostile than the arrest of Meng Wanzhou. Xi's back is now against the wall. Trump is slamming him right in the face.

The first salvo for WW3 has been fired by the American terrorists. Trump is not holding back anymore. It is war! This is not just an irresponsible behaviour. This is what the warmongering Americans want, war. No more pretenses. This is like the Cuban Crisis with the Soviet Union. 

Would Xi back down? If he does, China's position in the world would be extinguished completely. China will have no more standing or speaking rights in the world, in the UN. Trump is daring Xi to fight, calling China a paper tiger, a toothless tiger.

China's economy is collapsing with a trade surplus of US$1 trillion

 For the losers, for the Americans and their crony media, they cannot see the contradiction in the title of this article. An economy, the biggest trading nation, with a trade surplus of US$1 trillion, is collapsing...only in their minds, what they are wishing and praying for day and night, for China to collapse. Sorry, it is not going to happen.  But for the hardworking countries of the Global South, many are celebrating China's success. They are now able to enjoy all the great and useful products Made In China with their little income. No need to pay for an arm or a leg for all the goodies and niceties they need. No need to pay $30,000 for a handbag. No need to pay hundreds of thousands for an American or European cars when a better Chinese EV can cost only $10k or $20k.

What is important is that China is creating a lot of jobs in the Global South countries. China is moving up the value chain and migrating their lower value production to Global South countries. Many countries in ASEAN, Africa and Latin America are beneficiaries of this manufacturing migration. They are taking the same path that China trotted, starting from lower value manufacturing to build their industrial base, to gain experience and train their workforce to eventually move up the value chain like what China is doing.

Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia and many African and Latin and Central American countries are enjoying economic booms. China has built many factories in these countries, creating good jobs for their citizens. Some of these countries have moved up to higher value manufacturing, like Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, and Mexico, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, and many African countries. Manfacturing jobs are a plenty in these countries with Chinese investments.

Only a few laggard countries with unproductive workers are complaining of unemployment in their dysfunctional economies. But never mind, they can send all their unemployed and hungry workers to Singapore. Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia may not want them for good reasons. But the Middle East and the West can take them all in. 

Singapore has no problem about unemployment. It has created millions of jobs for foreigners in the islands, especially when Singaporeans are giving up working, no more desire to want to be CEOs, managers, and full time jobs. Singaporeans are not complaining. They are very happy with gig or platform jobs, part time jobs, earning good money, freedom and be their own boss...and no stress.

Now, who is complaining about job opportunities, unemployment? China is exporting not only jobs, but factories to the Global South countries to create more jobs.

Boosting China's economy is going to be an extraordinarily difficult balancing act? Really? With a trade surplus of US$1 trillion, what is the problem? More than 90% of the economies of the world did not have a GDP of US$1 trillion. What does this say about China's economy?

Wearing American uniforms is licence to kill

 The killings in the Caribbean continue. More than 100 unknown civilians have been murdered by American terrorists in uniforms. No one is calling foul or condemning this cold blooded murder. The clown show in Washington is still in full swing, arguing whether it is a crime or not a crime. Oops, definitely not a crime because they were committed by American terrorists. The clown show is about the killing of two survivors that were clinging on wreckage and were killed by a second strike. If the rest of the killings is a crime, they would have stopped it. But no, the uniformed American terrorists are still killing people in speedboat everyday. When an American puts on a GI uniform, he is licensed to kill. No one would dare to say anything.

When China farts, it will raise a ton of accusation and condemnation that it is an aggressive act. China is assertive, aggressive, wanting to attack America with farts or air balloons. There will by hysteria over the American and western media, including silly crony media. And Chinese leaders would be shivering in their pants. How can they call us aggressive? Better hide under the table. Better not fart. Better not say anything, better not be seen.

The genocide in Gaza is still going on. The Israelis are killing the Palestinians everyday. Anyone condemning it or crying out loud? More than 500,000 Palestinians have already been massacred. Any problem? Any western media or crony media dares to say a word? But they will scream and shout whenever China farts. Farting is an aggressive act if done by China.

Japanese mamasan threatened to attack China if China reunites with Taiwan. Is this an aggressive act or a non aggressive act? Is this more aggressive than a fart? China is still holding back, afraid to assert itself for fear of being called aggressive. The Japanese are so polite and so nice, especially the mamasan and her cabinet and the Japanese public supporting her. They are the most trusted people, trusted by the Americans, by the West, by ASEAN. Such nice people cannot be aggressive, cannot be barbaric?

The most aggressive and hostile act is in Australia, in the Bondi Beach, when 16 Jews were killed by 2 gunmen, terrorists. Meanwhile the friendly killings of unknown people in speedboats, continues. More than 100 had been killed by very nice American marines. This will not be stopped. It is not a crime when the killing is done by Americans in uniform. So it is ok to keep killing people in speedboats. This is American rule of law, or rule of lawlessness.

Would someone please buy a flower for those killed in the Caribbean by American terrorists? Do bother to buy for the 500,000 Palestinians massacred by the Americans and the Jews in Gaza. They were subhumans, animals, according to the Jews. So no need crocodile tears or flowers.

China will not let in the H200 Trojan Horse at all costs

Looks like China has seen the trap being set by the USA with the sale of Nvidia's H200 chips to China. Why the sudden about turn? Trump is intending to sabotage China's foray into developing high-end chips to rival Nvidia and others, and by allowing Nvidia's H200 chips to be sold to China, he hopes to tie AI developers in China into a trap to be highly dependent on Nvidia forever. This is now unlikely to happen as China already smelled a rat. This is just like the British forcing China to open its market to the opium trade and thereby getting the Chinese hooked.

There are many reasons why China is not going to allow unlimited volumes of H200 chips to flood the Chinese market. First and foremost, it means China is helping Nvidia to regain the Chinese market, which will eat the market share of domestic chipmakers and slow China's aim to be independent of the USA.

Secondly, what will happen if after allowing Nvidia H200 chips to enter the Chinese domestic market and getting those AI developers hooked on those chips, Trump may wake up from the wrong side of bed one fine day and decides to pull the plug to stop those chips from being sold to China. You can see the consequences of this option just by looking at Trump's behavior today.

Thirdly, China is truly serious about moving away from depending on USA chips and is not going to be lured into a situation of sabotaging its own agenda. China wants its AI developers and industrial chains to use domestically made chips. China will pour more subsidies into funding chip development which it is very well capable of doing. China has little economic constraints, has cheap energy, is dominating in AI manpower development, is dominating in research and development.

American veterans and war heroes are murderers of civilians, women and children

Americunts Leaders and Commanders think they cared the lices, oops lives of their Contracts Mafia Gangsters Parasites Digits just to obey and robbed and control and monitor the vassal's slaves and doggies of their Empire?

See how they abandoned them in Afghanistan, Vietnam and also other Countries when they withdraw suddenly.

They knew that these digits are like the Chinese saying, to be "Use ONE Time"

These Parasites joined for the sake of their Lifetime benefits of just serving a term or two of their Tours of Duties and then kept harping as Wars Heros and Veterans to join their Elite Corps.

In the Slaves and Vassals Countries that they are there, they could swagger and bullied all the locals and with immunity from the local laws as under their own Military Laws and Orders.

So when they returned for R&R in their Fully Paid Resorts before out again for another Tour of Duties maybe in some strife invaded Countries and happened to be back with some bionic legs and testicles as Detonated by some unfortunate bombs and claimed their Purple Hearts, then they could go round to swagger to their own and claimed further extra benefits and runs for CON-gress and SENILE-NATORS to grill their own as dramas and wayang.

That's why they LOVED to put on the uniforms and bragged.

Some after some overseas killing fields and back still itching to kill then started killing their own as targets.

These are their karmas and Retributions for their sins and crimes as Mafia Gangsters Robbers and Murderers.

In yesterday Straits Times Opinion section, a mischievous article by one Lim Min Zhang appears to question the integrity of the PLA..

 On Opinion's front page it states, 

"The Chinese military is on Facebook -- but its messages are not sticking ". Then it goes on  Äs its strength grows , the PLA efforts to project a benign image must be  coupled with greater restraint on the ground". This is self-righteous angelic CIA toxic rhetoric.  

What is the article insinuating? It is mischievous . It is trying to put PLA in a bad light. It appears to be reflecting on CIA demonisation of China. The world knows America is using South China Sea neighbouring countries as pawns and proxies to go against China and if possible to goad them to fight against China to suit its geopolitical agenda of world hegemony.

The article accused China of assertive actions abroad. The world knows that China's actions are always a reaction to US instigating its proxies and poodles aggressive incursions on Chinese sovereign territories in the East China Sea and the South China Sea. What is the article insinuating? Is it a reflection of CIA's evil agenda.

Chinese military is not a threat to neighbouring countries. China's military is mainly against US threat and aggression on China. The writer should not be naive to expect China to kowtow to US and submit to US threats and aggressions. The world knows that USA is a terrorist state and is as usual has always been for decades and centuries attacking and invading small and weak countries and exploiting them at will. The writer seems to be naive and ignorant of this factual truth of diabolical United States.

The article goes on to lament on PLA's test of long range flight of it intercontinental missiles in the vast Pacific Ocean. But China's long range missile test is purely cautionary against US bent on containing and taking down China. Therefore other countries have nothing to fear. 

The article's stated fear of "Growing Suspicions" of China's long range missile test is mischievous and appears to reflect CIA's demonisation of China.

The article goes on to accuse China of sailing its naval ships in international waters around Australia.  USA and its poodle allies like Japan, Australia and the Philippines can sail their naval ships and fly their jet war aircrafts aggressiively very close to China's coastal regions, so why can't China reciprocate in sailing her naval crafts and flying her jet planes in international water and airspace in Australia or America or even Japan and the  Philippines. It takes two to tango.

Journalists and reporters in countries of the South should not ingratiate with CIA . They should have integrity and write and report honestly from the perspectives of of truth and fact rather than a mirror or reflection of CIA's toxic propaganda and be a dangerous carrier of US diabolical geopolitical agenda. 

Journalists and reporters whose aricles are damaging to non-western countries and whose articles merely echo CIA's toxic geopolitical propaganda are indulging in low self-esteem, self-denigration, lost of self-respect and dignity as well as being treacherous and treasonous to their own countries and to BRICS and countries of the South in general.

Trump asking Xi to show middle finger in his face

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said on Monday (Dec 15) he wanted his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to free Jimmy Lai as he voiced sadness over the Hong Kong media mogul's conviction.

"I feel so badly. I spoke to President Xi about it, and I asked to consider his release," Trump told reporters, without specifying when he asked Xi.  CNA

There are things that a national leader can do and ask and will get a reasonable or favourable answer. There are things that a national leader should not ask even if he is Donald Trump. When Clinton asked Lee Kuan Yew to spare the caning of an American spoilt brat that committed vandalism in Singapore, he could end up with a red face if this was turned down. Fortunately the crime was not serious enough and Lee Kuan Yew reduced the caning by two strokes.

The crimes committed by Jimmy Lai were treason, causing serious damages to properties, loss of lives and social unrest. Now Trump is admitting to the world that Trump is by all means a clown that did not know what a serious crime is and what he can ask and what he should not ask. By asking Xi to release a criminal that committed treason, a crime against the country, Trump is showing how ignorant he is and his inability to understand the seriousness of the crime. He is asking Xi to say No to him. And Xi can only oblige, and this will only embarrass Trump in front of the world. 

It is Trump that is asking for it. He does not need to say anything. He does not need to interfere in China's domestic affairs. Or he has been told by the CIA that Jimmy Lai is a CIA operative doing the works of the CIA to destabilise Hong Kong and it is his duty to save Lai?  And who knows, after Lai's release and moves to the USA, Trump would invite him for tea in the White House and awarded him a medal of honour for working for the Americans. Trump may even nominate this criminal for the Nobel Peace Prize to embarrass Xi and China.

The only thing that Xi can do to Trump's request is to show him the middle finger, to let Trump know that there are times he should just keep quiet and stop being a fool. Well, Trump thinks too highly of himself, that he can mess around with Xi and China. Only Xi has the stature to teach Trump how to behave as a responsible and wise leader, ...when to shut up.

American terrorists' recipe for peace is to have unending wars

  Start more wars for peace. The American terrorists would erect a few scarecrows and tell their braindead believers, see, the scarecrows are going to attack us, we need to attack and destroy the scarecrows for peace and security. Is this so difficult to understand? Spreading fear, fabricating threats are the standard ploys of the American terrorists to start a war. Some braindead would just listen and in fear and do as told by the American terrorists. Some have no choice when the American terrorists said so. You are with us or against us.

The evil American Empire has been getting away with these lies for decades, unchallenged, simply because they have all the weapons of mass destruction and control of the media and narratives. Any leader or country that refused to do as dictated by the American terrorists would be slandered, demonised and murdered and arrested by the American terrorists, their country invaded and bombed to Stone Age. The rest of the world can only watch in awe and agony, fearing that they will be next. These are the good behaviours of the American terrorists, and they are so proud of them, strutting around like brainless peacocks telling the world they are saints, angels and the righteous and superior beans of the world.

The poor Central and Latin American countries have suffered in silence in the hands of the American terrorists for centuries. Not that the world does not know what is happening. But no one can help them as they too are just as hapless. The Middle Eastern countries are still being bullied daily and can do nothing about it except to put on a fake smile, pretending that all is fine. The American terrorists would plant their bases and soldiers in their countries to control and threaten them. When the Americans needed money, they would fly in and tell the rich Arabs how much they need. The rich Arabs just pay up and grinning widely like so happy to do it. The poorer Arabs' fate is worse. The Palestinians have their country stolen from them and being massacred helplessly, still going on everyday. Who dares to utter a word. Oh, they have a peace deal. The peace deal is to stop the Palestinians to hit back. But the Israelis are still hitting them and killing them everyday. What to do when faced with a powerful gang of terrorists?

There was peace in Europe until the American terrorists removed a democratically elected govt and installed their puppet Zelensly and ordered him to do their bidding. The rest is history. Ukraine is destroyed, Ukrainians died like flies. Who cares? The fake message, the Russians are coming, the Russians are going to take over Europe. Which twit believes in this lie? Plenty, all the Europeans believe in it and are all geared up to start a war with Russia. Not that they are stupid. The savage instinct for wars and killings is in them. They love it when there is war. All are acting so brave. They also want to destroy Russia. That is alright for the white savages to want to destroy other countries and take over their land and resources. That is their normal behaviour. No one is complaining and saying it is bad. They cannot see anything wrong with it. And their coloured worshippers also think it is alright. White savages can start wars and kill and kill, nothing aggressive but very civilised and peaceful behaviour. They need to go to war to find peace.

The next threat is over the other side of the globe, China. China is going to conquer the world. Chinese behaviour is bad. How can they go around the world building bridges and roads? How can they produce so many goods and sell them so cheaply? That is cheating, that is bad. China must be stopped. China must be destroyed before they become more dangerous, producing cheaper and quality goods for the rest of the world. Start a war with China, destroy China, then there will be peace under the American terrorist free world of democrazy, freedom and human rights. 

And the unthinking and braindead sheeples shouted in unison, yeah, yeah, long live the American Empire. We love to be bullied and screwed by the American terrorists. We like to listen to their sermons on peace, freedom and democrazy! The American terrorists did not kill anyone, did not invade countries, destroy countries. They are for peace!

Rogue Washington regime declares Latin America belongs to USA

Now the New One what's US National Security Strategy 2025 encumbered all the Latin Americans to be under the Vassals or the Americunts.

As though they the Americunts just decreed as they wished bigger than the United Nonsense oops Apology Nations.

Western Hemisphere solely under the UAss and gave up the Eastern One to China!

So abandoned Jepun, South Korea and the Philippines and the Aussies?

Initially they hatched a plot to trap China namely G2 I.e.UAssA and China as the World's Two Only Superpowers

China smart smart declined and said Multi Polarities.

The Americunts wanted to trap China and if China is stupid to agree, then the Whites shall then announce to the World that China just like them wanted to CONTROL the World.

This shall have most of the World's Nations been skeptical and distrust China!

Cunning of the Americunts.

PS. Is this rogue behaviour, terrorist behaviour or peaceful behaviour?

Japan trusts the White men?

Never underestimate the wisdom of the Native American Indians. They have a saying that if you see two fish fighting in a pool of water, look around and you will see a White man standing nearby, waiting to reap the benefits. But sadly, they were still blindsided by trusting the White men, closing their eyes and endorsing the Bible. When they opened their eyes, they realized that they lost their land in exchange for the Bible.

The USA would very much want Japan to fight China and destroy each other. Or India and China to destroy each other. Too bad, Russia is now having good relations with China and India, otherwise Russia will be another option to be used to destroy China. Much effort is now being propagated to split the China/Russia relations. USA is the proverbial White man standing nearby waiting to reap all the benefits when countries fight each other.

Japan, on the other hand, is undoubtedly playing USA against China, hoping for a war that will destroy both of them. What business is it for Japan to interfere with the China/Taiwan issue? Japan is leveraging on the USA standing on its side should any war erupt between Japan and China.

Japan knows it had never been forgiven by China for all the atrocities and attempts it made to conquer China and overrun Asia, not just once, but on many occasions, even colluding with the Anglo-Saxon Whites to divide China up into concessions. Nanjing Massacre Memorial Day has just been observed on December 13 in China, making sure it is not ever to be forgotten.

It is unthinkable to believe that Japan still trusts the USA, after the two bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Moreover, Japan's present economic problems are all engineered by the USA and its European allies such as using the Plaza Accord to force Japan to revalue its Yen with detrimental consequences.

'If it is a Boeing, I am not going'...Boeing aircraft is disease

A Boeing 777-200 plane just suffered an engine failure, with sparks and smoking, during take-off at Dulles International Airport. Fortunately, it was able to land safely, otherwise it will suffer the same fate as Air India flight 171, another highly touted Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner. Those on board must be peeing in their pants. There are now people who declare that 'if it is a Boeing, I am not going'. Such fans are growing day by day as more mishaps are happening with Boeing planes.

Boeing is in self-destruct mode, a slow demolition of its own making. Confidence in its planes are getting devastated, just like the US$ hegemony. Outside of own self buying the debts of own self through massive money printing, raiding the reserves of retirement funds and other funds by forcing them to buy Treasuries, and getting support from the Anglo-Saxon White countries to save the US$ using all hands to the pump, most other foreign countries have been trying to extricate themselves instead. Even China and Japan are cutting their exposure, but they are not dumping, as that will decimate their other remaining values. Countries are caught in a trap investing in USA Treasuries, using their trade surpluses and finding difficulty to extricate themselves without suffering massive losses. This is one reason why it is consequential for China to dump all USA assets, that it would really love to. But a slow extrication is on the cards, and the USA debt crisis is suffering a huge support problem.

Most Central Banks are accumulating gold and silver as an alternative rather than buying USA Treasuries with their US$ from products they sold to the USA. China is recycling or has recycled its massive US$ reserves, held through trade surpluses, by investing them into the BRI projects, building ports, airports, transportation logistics and providing loans for poorer countries to progress.

Such is the paranoia of the USA and the West that they demonized those loans as debt traps. Not so when the IMF gives loans to countries like Argentina, trapping the country into a debt trap for decades.

Wherever and whenever there is war, look no further, the American terrorists are behind it

While Trump is blowing his trumpet that a peace agreement between Thailand and Cambodia has been formalized, the Thai Prime Minister straight away cane out to say he is not on board. Which means that Trump is just crowing on his own dung heap as always, lying through his teeth.

What kind of a truce is Trump talking about when just hours later both sides are shelling each other. Thailand and Cambodia should not place too much trust in Trump brokering a truce. They should try to settle the issue among themselves, rather than inviting Satan to do the holy stuff. For what?

China has kept a distance from the 'dog and pony show', while the Thai side is asking Anwar and Trump to open their eyes to see who restarted the shelling.

Now that truce version 2 between Thailand and Cambodia has undoubtedly failed, rest assured there will be more versions like between Russia and Ukraine, a situation supposed to be settled within 24 hours by a loud boaster. The show must go on, while peace is just a pipe dream, as someone needs war more than ever. War is actually beneficial for some people, especially it is an opportunity to garner a Nobel Peace Prize if a fake peace deal can be pulled off.

One question I have to ask, as I cannot keep quiet anymore. Why was Wang Yi not given the Nobel Peace Prize after brokering the Iran/Saudi Arabia peace deal. Did anyone find it hard to fathom?

Trump profiting from Nvidia chips sale to China

President Donald Trump has announced that Nvidia will be permitted to supply its H200 artificial intelligence chips to “approved customers” in China and other markets, provided that the United States receives a 25 per cent share of the earnings....

Nvidia and AMD had earlier agreed to remit 15 per cent of revenue from chip sales to China to the US government. swarajyamag.com/news

This is a brilliant move by Trump, to make a Chinese owned American company, Nvidia, to sell chips to China and without much effort, just a signature, he is going to make 25% of the earnings. Two Chinamen in a trade deal and the biggest winner is the white men approving the deal.

How much is Trump going to cream from this deal? Is it 25% of earning, ie profit, or 25% of revenue?  The second sentence in the above quote, Nvidia and AMD, two Chinese American owned companies, already agreed to remit 15% of revenue to the US govt. The 25% that Trump is demanding cannot be less than the 15% of revenue being offered. So it is likely that the 25% is from the revenue. 25% of profit is very much lesser than of revenue. As an illustration, if the sale is US$100m, Trump would get US$25m. Oops, the US govt will get US$25m. The actual sale if it got through could be in the billions, hundreds of billions.  If it is $100b, the US govt will get $25b. This is a lot of money for doing sweet nothing. And who is paying for it? China of course. Nvidia would do all the markups and China will do all the paying. Trump's 如义算盘。

Would Xi allow China to be fleeced with so much money? China is already self sufficient in high end chips, can do away with H200 chips. Why let the Americans squeezed so much money when China need not have to pay, making China looking like a sucker? And mind you, the issue of backdoor and spying software is still not resolved. Also, the sale of H200 will undermine China's quest to be self sufficient, will undermine Chinese own chip industries.

Instant noodle or Instant American boys and girls, all 75,000 of them

 Everyone will know what instant noodle is all about. Pour some hot water into a bowl of dried noodle and in less than 5 min, the noodle will be cooked and ready to eat. It is so easy, convenient and super fast.

What about instant Americans, to be cooked like instant noodle, in a few minutes? There are about 75,000 American boys and girls in the military bases in Japan and South Korea. If family members are included, this could add up to 100,000. The assignments in Japan and South Korea were like a holiday camp, high pay, high allowance, free accommodation and high quality of life, safe and privileged existence than in the Wild Wild West of America's run down cities.

This is still a good posting to the Americans, choiced overseas postings. No one is talking about the risks involved. Yes, there is no risk at all except when they committed some crimes and have a brawl with the locals. The American bases in Japan and South Korea were very safe and sound, good places to bring up children. But his is not anymore. These strategic assets are now a death trap.

These American military bases are top priority targets for China, Russia and North Korea. All of them have the weapons to vaporise them for good in minutes, like instant noodles. It is so convenient, just pressing a few buttons and all will be wipeout without anyone knowing what is happening. Caveat, the Japanese could do the same to them and blame it on the Chinese, Russians or North Koreans, a false flag incident to start a war for America against these three nuclear powers. The sneaky and cunning Japanese are very capable of creating such incidents. They had done so many, many times in the past.

The American bases were initially set up to rule and control Japan. They have evolved to threaten China, Russia and North Korea, as launching patch and support bases from the rear. They were very effective and convenient to check on these three countries. And for decades, they are the trump cards, the strategic forward bases of the American Empire.

In the last decade or so, China, Russia and North Korea have developed defensive and offensive capabilities to take out these bases. They now have the wherewithal to wipe out these bases in minutes. Nothing would be left for sure. They cannot afford not to destroy them completely. They are existential threats to the three countries. With hypersonic missiles and in great numbers, the American bases are sitting ducks, completely at the mercy of the three countries, and have no means to defend themselves.

The clowns in Washington are still ignorant to the changes in strategic balance and missile technology for war. They are happily intoxicating themselves with drugs and alcohol and have no time to review the presence, usefulness and safety of these bases and the American boys and girls in them. They are exposing them to extremely high risk that are unacceptable by any counts. 75,000 to 100,000 American lives to be wipe out instantly, cooked like instant noodles. An aircraft carrier only carries 5,000 and they are avoiding the Strait of Bab el Mandeb. No aircraft carrier commander would want to take such a risk! The same thinking applies to aircraft carriers in the Western Pacific region.

No one cares, because no one knows, no one wants to know. These Americans have been thrown under the bus by the Washington clowns, sacrificial lambs that serve no purpose in times of war. They would not be allowed to exist. Only looks good in peace time.

Dramas and facades of American Democrazy

All dramas and facades in the Americunts DemoCRAZY and Senate and Congress!

Trump's medical problems have been prophesized to blow up in January 2026

To put the question in its proper perspective, putting two and two together, FIFA is making Trump into a joke.

I could not help laughing about the bandage on Trump's hand as being caused by shaking too many hands, according to the White House. Who are they trying to kid? Is that answer meant to be a joke or making Trump's health into a cover-up episode like what happened to Joe Biden, until there was no more room left to lie anymore. If what is to be believed, Trump is in even worse shape than Joe Biden was at the end of his Presidency. His IQ, his health and his appearance have all been called into question by Candace Owen and others.

Perhaps the real answer about his bandaged hand might actually be Trump grabbing too many pussies and getting scratched by the cats, LOL.

By the way, the Epstein Files are believed to have been thoroughly scrubbed and sanitized, which is why it is allowed to be released after all. So much time has been utilized for the scrubbing and sanitizing job that all credibility about its contents have been destroyed. But as always, the USA will be able to cover up its internal subterfuge, just like the John F. Kennedy assassination and the 911 event.

After all, the 'exceptionalism' status can only be applied to the USA, not any other country. Up till today, lots of questions still persists about the Kennedy assassination and who was actually involved. Same with the 911 fiasco.

America's overcapacity in printing toilet paper, ie dollars, can only keep the farmers happy for a while

Not to worry. USA has overcapacity in manufacturing or should I say printing of toilet papers. This is one area enough for the USA to boast about. The USA is now printing toilet papers like no tomorrow, which is why the stock market is still touching all-time highs. while the US$ is depreciating.

On the other hand, the toilet paper printing is weakening the US$ as I said this. USA citizens are suffering double whammies with a weakening dollar and rising prices due to the tariffs. But, not to worry as Trump can have all the printed toilet papers to throw at them. Now, Trump really needs a big, beautiful helicopter to go around the country throwing cheap money like Helicopter Ben.

USA farmers are getting subsidies, billions in fact for now. Hip, hip hurray for the farmers now. What happens after that is the question. Is the USA morphing into a socialist state as some are saying, with state subsidies in many areas. The USA had been laughing and demonizing China for giving subsidies to state enterprises. Now, what is the USA doing itself? Anyway, it is always who laugh last that laughs best.

Now, who is going to buy USA debts in the face of all the money printing and throwing, while the debt gets blown up day by day. Those that do so must still be living in the twilight zone. But not to worry again, because the Anglo-Saxon White clique, like the Brits, must lend a hand to keep the US$ hegemony afloat, otherwise they will sink with it.

The Americans trusted and still trust the Japanese?

 The Americans trusted the Japanese in the prelude to WW2. They believed that the Japanese would not attack America without a declaration of war. For their naivety in trusting the Japanese, the Americans paid a very heavy price in American lives and military assets. The American Pacific Fleet was practically destroyed. After awakening from their stupidity, the Americans locked up every Japanese in America in the equivalents of concentration camp. They did not trust a single Japanese then.

The Americans today open mouth and close mouth claimed that Japan is their most reliable ally, or the most compliant colony? The Americans have all the good words for the Japanese, the most trusted ally of the American Empire. But before they reached this stage, they dropped two Atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and carpet bombed Tokyo on the last phase of WW2 to defang the beast.

The Americans imposed on the Japanese a Pacifist Constitution to put a ring around the Japanese neck, to make sure they did not turn untrustworthy again, did not turn militant again. To make sure that it is not just a piece of paper, the American built many military bases in Japan, deploying more than 50,000 soldiers to keep the Japanese in a leash. With these in place, the Americans can now feel safe to say they 'trusted' the Japanese. Oh, the Japanese Self Defence Force will come under the control of the American commanders in Japan in a crisis. No way will the Americans loosen the clutches on their 'trustworthy' Japanese ally.

In many ways, the Americans are rearming the Japanese into a formidable force, but never to threaten the Americans. The Americans are watching the Japanese closely, just like a fierce dog under leash. The master is still the Americans. The loosening of the grip on Japan is not because the Americans trusted the Japanese. The Americans are not fools. It is all because of China and Russia. The Americans game plan is to make the Japanese their point men in a war with China or Russia. Any attacks would be aimed directly at Japan first. Japan would be the first country to be destroyed in a war with China or Russia, America's first line of defence. This is the same thinking as the Japanese in turning Okinawa into a military fortress, to absorb the first barrage of bombs and missiles, the Ryukuans to be the first to be killed and destroyed.

Yes, the Americans trust the Japanese, but with a leash in their hands. They can only trust a beast that they have full control, not a beast that can run wild and turn around to bite them. This is American wisdom. Japan will forever be an American colony and the sacrificial lamb against China and Russia.

The Americans also know that the Japanese would want to dupe the Americans into a war with China or Russia, for them to destroy each other. Both 'trust' each other only in words but not in deeds. When the Americans and Japanese are hugging each other, they have a dagger hidden behind their backs. The Japanese are still trying to claim every little island in the western Pacific Ocean. How can they tolerate their main islands being in the hands of the Americans, being colony of the American Empire? Think!

Anyone still believes the Americans trusted the Japanese? Or the Japanese trusted the Americans?

America and the West terrified of China competing in high end, high tech industries

The USA, Europe and the Japanese are terrified of China's dominance in many sectors and are making attempts to cripple China's advance using every tool at their disposal. Now, the trio are fighting tooth and nail to prevent China from taking over the EV sector, which realistically is a failure and China's dominance is already a done deal.
What else will the USA, Europe and Japan be left with, besides chips, if they were to lose the last bastion of their industrial power? China is going to eat their breakfast, lunch and dinner and they are petrified.

Moreover, China has eyes on the aviation sector of the USA and Europe as well, with its own plane coming into the global market. Now, China has successfully developed its own C919 engines, making Boeing and Airbus nervous. The USA and Europeans can refuse to certify China's airplanes for international adoption out of vengeance, but many countries are still confident and buying the C919 for domestic routes. The Chinese aviation sector is enough to keep COMAC busy for years, as Chinese domestic flyers need thousands of aircraft going forward. Boeing and Airbus are going to lose this lucrative Chinese domestic market that they dominated for decades. It is now going, going and soon be gone.

When China has produced enough of C929 and C939, all Boeing and Airbus planes would be subject to high airport charges in China if they refuse to certify China's planes.

America selling war and peace but losing in everything

Like in Ukraine and the Middle East. Sell them shit to throw at each other and then pretend to broker piss deals at the same time. Piss and shit follow each other by nature in the toilet business, right? The USA can fool most people most of the time, but not everybody all the time.

As what Eli the computer guy said, the USA lost everything that it dabbled in eventually. The USA lost the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq that everybody saw and knew, that were impossible to cover-up, unlike the JFK assassination and 911 event that were being covered up all at home. The USA lost the sanctions war against Russia that everyone is now seeing. The USA lost the trade war against China that is unfolding with USA farmers footing the loss and suffering the collateral damage. So does the tariff war against China. The USA is losing the AI war against China that is unfolding now as well.

Let me dwell deeper into AI, that the USA is trying to win using the proprietary model of hostage taking against users of USA developed AI systems, while China is trotting out open-source models for everyone to use and make changes as they deem fit or like. Now who is going to win the AI war is a no brainer.

While on that topic, Nvidia is trying to win over everyone with its touted superior GPU dominance, while China is countering superior hardware by overcoming that disadvantage by designing systems using less high-end chips/GPUs and producing the same result. What that means is that China is able to achieve high-end AI results with cheaper cost, meaning a few million dollars set-up in cost against Western AI models costing tens of billion dollars set up, achieving the same result. The same system of China producing cheaper goods competing with highly expensive Western products and yet winning the ground. The end result for both is for all to see and for all to enjoy.

Why is Trump now allowing Nvidia to sell H200 chips to China with the AI shit now hitting the fan. Just think about it.

USA - The Uncivilised States of America!

 Do not be deceived by what clown Trump and the terrorist state of America is saying. The Thai Cambodia border war has all the finger prints of the CIA all over. Trump calling for peace but behind his back, the CIA is provoking this war. War and instability are the mission of CIA. CIA does not have to report to dummy in the White House.

Trump told the mamasan to cool down. Really, promised the mamasan that he would support her in everything, everything she needed. Just call him personally if she needs his help. This was the message that was reported. What did Trump told the mamasan that were not reported that emboldened the mamasan to threaten war with China?

Trump was obviously shocked by Xi's resolve to teach the warmongering Japanese a lesson. Trump did not know how serious and bad were the blood debt inflicted on China by the Japanese prior to and during WW2. When Xi told Trump what he was going to do, Trump panicked, TACO. Now pretending to be the nice guy, telling the mamasan to cool down. The mamasan would not have the guts to threaten China with war even when her brain was only good enough for the Shinjuku night clubs.

The Americans, or Trump is directly behind the current China Japan tension. Period. Trump offered the bait and the mamasan and her warmongering party took the bait.

The Americans started the Ukraine War, promised to support the Ukrainian with 'whatever it takes'. Promised of joining NATO, all the funds and weapons, to fight to the last Ukrainian. If Ukraine wins, NATO would be on the border with Russia, nuclear weapons would be there, Russia will collapse and be broken up, its resources be taken over by the Americans and a small share for the allies. If Ukraine loses, Ukraine will be broken up, share between Russia and America. A sure win formula for the Americans. Yes, head America wins, tail Ukraine loses.

Now the American terrorist states openly defy the world to invade Venezuela for its oil and resources. Not one dares to utter a word about this primitive and savage behaviour of the Americans. Clinton said the American relationship with the Latin American states was complicated. Complicated my foot! It was pure bullying, oppression and coercion by military force, behaviour like mafias.

Trump just hijacked a Venezuelan VLCC with a full load of oil, likely for China. Trump's terrorists just intercepted another tanker from China heading to Iran, likely to carry oil for China. Both hostile acts were against China, stopping oil to China. The attacks against China is continuing everyday, everywhere, in every dimension. And clown Trump wants to visit Beijing in April. It may be cancelled at any moment's notice. China is not blind, is not dumb and cannot see what Trump and the Americans terrorists are doing.

The first VLCC was a cowardly act against the Venezuelans thinking that the Venezuelans cannot hit back. Caveat, Venezuela is too weak militarily to hit back, unless there is a strong resolve from China, Russia and Iran and others, to protect their oil and investments in Venezuela and Latin America to act together. They have to act for the interests of Venezuela and the Latin American states against the rogue American states. Trump is testing their reactions by staging a huge fleet outside Venezuela, watching carefully whether to attack or not to attack. Trump knows that this is an expensive and existential decision to make.

Retreat, appeasement or doing nothing is not an option. Russian, Chinese and Iranian weapons are on ground and can sink the aircraft carrier Gerald Ford and other American warships. The logistics may be against the allies of Venezuela. But if they have the political will, backed by the Venezuelans and Latin American states, it is not a walkover. It is the evil American Empire against the whole of Central, Latin America, the Caribbean and two nuclear powers of China and Russia and the Global South. The combined forces can keep the American savages out of Latin America for good.

This war in Venezuela will free the Central American states, the Caribbean states and Latin American states from the Uncivilised States of America forever. Dump the Monroe Doctrine and the National Security Strategy of the American terrorists that treat them as colonies of America, and be free and independent nation states, to live with dignity and freedom of choice to chart their own destiny. 

The resistance forces are gathering momentum and strength to face up to the Uncivilised States of America, or they can choose not to fight and be slaves to the American terrorists forever.

US$10 million bounty for the arrest of Lai Ching Te

 Trump has put a US$50m bounty on the head of President Maduro of Venezuela with drummed up charges that he is the head of the narco trade. Even the most silly American would not believe it, would think this is serious. But this is standard playbook of the American terrorists. Slam a label on anyone or country, garner the might of American media and crony media to slander the victim, get the American propaganda machine to fabricate more lies to make the allegation stick. Send in the assassination squad to kill the victim. And all the pro American Anglophiles would just believe everything the American clowns in Washington said, including chief clown Donald Trump. They even feint to believe Trump is a President of Peace and all huddling to kiss his peaceful asshole.

Maduro did not commit any narco crime. He is the President of an independent country. The outrageous allegation against him by clown Trump is at best hilarious. But no one in the West would dare to disagree, to object, to condemn this vicious lie and slander. It is not much different from accusing Iraq of WMD. The American clowns can come up with any lie and there will be silent consent from allies, cronies and the Global South. No one or country dares to breath a word about America's role in the genocide of the Palestinians and causing the destruction of Ukraine and death of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians.

The crimes of Lai Ching Te, President of Taiwan is treason, for wanting to secede Taiwan from the Motherland. He deserves to be executed by firing squad. And this is not the only crime he committed. He sold out Taiwan's national treasure, TSMC, to the Americans, he is stealing Taiwan's national reserves to offer to the Americans, in the tens of billions. He is behaving like a dictator, bullying and arresting anyone that opposes him.

China should declare him a traitor to be arrested on sight. And if it is alright for the America to place a US$50m bounty on Maduro, a similar bounty should be put on Lai Ching Te for treason and crimes against national interests. A US$10m should be good enough for anyone to arrest him and deliver him to China. Would the western media and crony media dare to utter a word to slander and demonise China after what the Americans did to Maduro?

China has already put up a worldwide arrest warrant for Shen Po Yang, 沈伯洋 , a DPP separatist, for crimes committed in Zhongjing. A bounty for Lai Ching Te is necessary and appropriate for his crimes and treason against China. Everyone in Taiwan can arrest him for the bounty.

Thai Cambodia border War - You can bet the devil is the Americans

I could not believe Trump saying that he can end the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia. On the contrary, his dirty hands, used to stirring shit, are going to make the situation worse. How is he going to do it? How about ending the war in Ukraine within 24 hours first after taking office. After almost a year, is the war in Ukraine over?

I was indeed surprised that the Thai foreign minister, Sihasak Phuangketkeow, on Channel News America said that he was himself surprised that Trump is going to be involved in the truce deal version 2, after the failure of version 1. Now, since the failure of truce deal version 1, who really wants Trump dipping his dirty hands into the whole affair, with the Thai foreign minister saying that he prefers any truce to be decided by the two parties themselves without outside interference. Clear and simple.

Trump's circus comes to town often and Trump merely wants to take any credit with his involvement. How many peace deals had he tried to broker between Russia and Ukraine. Any success so far? Just talking and posturing to make the stock market rise and fall is all there is to it. Yet he thinks he is the God Almighty able to do miracles anywhere he goes and boasting loudly about it from day one. The world has seen enough of his grotesque shenanigans over and over again. The man is so blatantly dishonest in his deals that it is a mystery why his base still supported him.

Trump has to take a leaf from China's Wang Yi, brokering the peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia, quietly, without fanfare, without loud boasting, without the USA involved and yet the deal still holds. Think about it.

China builds, America destroys... even their allies like ASML and Nvidia

ASML is in trouble without Chinese rare earths. China saw the opportunity now to teach arrogant ASML a bitter lesson. Nexperia provided China the excuse and triggered the opportunity for retaliation. I believe China has made progress in its own lithography machine development or at least have found a new way to make higher end chips without ASML lithography machines, using new technology moving away from silicon.

The USA and the West can just keep pretending that the Chinese are only fit to be chefs and laundrymen. ASML is so arrogant saying that even if given the lithography machine blueprints, the Chinese would not be able to produce a lithograph machine. Well, let us wait and see. Jensen Huang revealed that 50% of the world's best brains in AI are dominated by the Chinese. Figure that out.

China does not make moves by cutting its nose to spite its face. China thinks long term, preparing its ground before retaliating, not putting the cart before the horse. The West better take good note of this. Each five-year plan is all about what to leverage on to counter those trying to bring China down. China has built up its internal infrastructure and logistics to stand on firm ground and is now expanding its influence into Africa and Latin America. China is giving the Global South the ways and means to progress and grow rich.

Africans and Latin Americans have seen with their own eyes, how China managed to overcome its shortcomings in just three to four decades. China's success is nothing short of miniscule, lifting 800 million Chinese out of poverty. That is a population twice the size of the USA, a country that is still mired in decay, homelessness and escalating poverty.

The Africans and Latin Americans saw China's progress for themselves, and they aspire to have the same. Who does not want to follow a successful model rather than a failing model. Who does not want peaceful development rather than war and destruction.

Big Bang in Wall Street and world stock markets

 Wall Street is at all time high. So are the markets around the world. The big funds that are driving up the markets are now reeling with big profits and waiting to cash in. The correction is coming when profit taking sets in. If this is the case, nothing much to worry about. After the correction, the funds will buy back into the market and another round of rally will follow.

There are two dangerous flash points in the world that are about to blow up. In both cases, the main players are lunatics that would act beyond reasons. Trump has just hijacked a Venezuelan tanker. Putin has vowed to defend Venezuela's sovereignty. What is Trump's next move that could trigger a reaction from Putin leading to the first bullet being fired is anyone's guess? When that happens, it will not just be profit taking. Every fund manager and punter will be running for their lives. Dump everything for safety. 

Wall Street will see a big sell off triggering a big wave of selling in all the markets in the world. Fear, herd instinct, profit taking, uncertainty, all added to the panic selling and there will be a Big Bang!

Another high flash point that is brewing and not cooling is the tension between China and Japan. Xi may be a cool cucumber, thinking very carefully before any move. On the other side of the fence is a mamasan and a young turk who think they are the new hopes for Japan's rise as a regional hegemon. When these two lunatics are working hand in hand, anything can happen. They are scheming and plotting to drag the Americans to fight China. The latest J15s versus F15s encounter could easily turn foul. The trigger could be pulled and an aircraft shot down. This would mean war between China and Japan.

The effect of a shot being fired in the sea around Japan would have even more devastating effect on the stock market. It would involve China, Russia and North Korea on one side and Japan, hoping for the Americans to join in. No investor in his right mind would want to hold any stock in the market, especially when there are huge profits to be taken and the risk of losing their pants is very high. 

A major war will tank every stock market for sure. The Big Bang is just around the corner.

ASEAN wants the Americans as policemen? Talk to the Latin Americans first

 

A 30 minute clip on the hypocrisy of the Monroe Doctrine and how it was applied to Latin America, when America was the policemen of the continent. Unfortunately this video is no longer available. I have replaced the video with a 20 minute clip on how the Americans abused and bullied the Latin American countries.

ASEAN must be careful of what they are asking for. If the Americans come in and be the policemen of ASEAN and treat ASEAN states like how they treated the Latin American states, it would be too late to cry father and mother. The last good example was in the Philippines when they kidnaped former President Duterte in Pinoy soil. The Americans now own the Philippines with Marcos, the military and police in their control.

The life and safety of ASEAN heads of state would be at the mercy of the Americans. Can be replaced by coups, regime change, assassinated or arrested and put in jail by the Americans. Many Centrl and Latin American leaders had suffered under the Americans. The authority of the day would be the CIA operators, they are above the law. They are the law.

If ASEAN leaders are still in doubt, look at what is happening in Venezuela and also the Middle East.

What is the real manufacturing crisis of America?

 Trump's America first is all about bringing manufacturing back to America, to make America a manufacturing power again. For a country of 340 million people, it was insane to throw manufacturing out of the window when manufacturing is the biggest creator of jobs. Caveat, with robots, this may not be completely true anymore. America has the space, the people and everything to be a manufacturing powerhouse. Maybe they need to refocus on what they should be manufacturing, to leave out the low value manufacturing for the Global South. Hijacking TSMC from Taiwan maybe a right step, if the Americans can compete with lower cost of manufacturing and have the skilled manpower to do so. 

Trump is out in arms to force its allies to cough out billions and trillions to invest in America. And the poor hapless allies have no choice. The Arab states were robbed of a few trillion dollars, Japan $550 billion, South Korea another $350 billion, a few tens of billions from Taiwan and looks like Singapore is the next target if what the new Ambassador's words are an indication. Trump is not about productivity, about making money from real effort of the Americans, it is about robbery and extortion, collection protection money from its allies.

What this D grade President is doing is another big farce. He did not know what is the real manufacturing problem of America. America is failing very badly in manufacturing skilled manpower to support its industries and to run the country. The fact that they have to hire so many India CEOs says that America cannot produce the CEOs they need. The Americans are hopeless or useless as CEOs. Even the Director of FBI is an Indian. This job is not highly technical that needs disciplined hard science or engineering talents. So are the CEO jobs. Well, America can only manufacture a lot of hillbillies and rednecks that like to play with guns. America can only produce the rough and tough manual labour, semi skilled jobs like those in the ICE automobile industry or in the old steel mills, no need much thinking and talent in these jobs.

The semicon, computer and AI industries are now run by foreign engineers, not blue blooded American hillbillies or rednecks. Just give these guys the beers, whisky and fentanyl. Even the aircraft industries, the space industries, are run by an army of foreigners and crashing. America can only produce talkers, the debaters in courts to win an argument, to sit in Congressional hearings to run down their opponents with their prepared speech and documents on the victims that did not know what is going to hit them. And the clowns in Washington. Yes, America is very good in producing clowns to run the country. America is never short of clowns in political leadership.

The Americans are falling behind in producing engineers for the industry. They have a few very brilliant engineers at the very top but no supporting cast. They are also not producing the thinking leaders to lead their country. So, any clown will do as long as he is able to make the hillbillies and rednecks to believe he is the best for America. D graders, jokers, criminals, liars, conmen, pretenders, just talk and look smart will be good enough to run America and make America great again. And the simplest recipe is war, coercion, sanction and extortion.

If America cannot manufacture real talents for America, they can force all the high tech industries back but they will just fail. TSMC will fail, NASA failed, Boeing failed, shipbuilding failed, the weapon industry is failing, falling further behind. The last fighter aircraft, hyped as the best is the F35 that is going obsolete. The aircraft carrier Gerald Ford is still struggling with its electronic catapult launching system, no six generation fighters, no EVs, no high speed trains, no more space station, no serviceable rockets to the space station, and still bragging about going to the moon.

With all the clowns and fake talents in charge, and without real talents, America is doomed. There is no future for America. The American Dream is the past, has moved to China and other parts of the world.

China is sending Western manufacturing back to the stone age

China is sending Western manufacturing back to the stone age. This is a godsend for poor countries, being able to afford much cheaper goods than continuing to be ripped off by Western manufacturers. Quality may be lower, but it is still a choice that consumers have the privilege of choosing. Trying to create hurdles for consumers and foreign manufacturers entering Western markets to compete does not solve the problem.

The USA and the West can erect all kinds of hurdles for Chinese products entering their market, but how big is the USA and Europe in terms of population compared to the Global South. China and India alone have bigger markets than the combined population of the Anglo-Saxon White countries combined. Africa in total has a population of about 1.4 billion.

Now people are realizing who made those branded bags and how much profit high-end chains are making. It is all going to end. It is for the betterment of the world of make-believe morphing into reality.

If the West cannot make things cheaper for the poorer countries, why blame China? Isn't globalization a means to extract economies of scale and comparative advantages? It was touted to be the best when the West could outsource and compete, but not so when they fail to match. Why did Apple site its manufacturing base in China if not for its cheaper wages, supply chains and higher skilled workers, thereby turning out iPhones that enabled Apple to reap all the monstrous profits. Does the USA blame Steve Jobs or Apple?

FIFA is a joke or making Trump a joke?

 FIFA is turning into a joke.

By the way, China is not even interested in holding another Olympics on its soil, and the Olympic Committee is wondering why. China basically knows it is a waste of money trying to showcase the country to the world again, when the 2008 Olympics already did that successfully. Now, foreign travelers of many countries are being given visa free travel to China and making videos of their journey in China, showcasing all the developments and progress. That has destroyed all the decades of misinformation and disinformation by the Western media about China.

By the way, India on the other hand, is trying very hard to bid for a chance to hold the Olympics but had been denied, due to its infrastructure and environmental issues. Hard to imagine holding events needing clean rivers, LOL. But for the Olympic Committee, when there are no fish, prawns also can do.
