Ten years? The Anglo-Saxon Whites do not think long term like China. If they did, they would not have landed in this pitiful state, following the dictates of the USA and suffering de-industrialization and now having to carry the baby in Ukraine. It is too late to regret losing cheap energy from Russia. Some still harbor the illusion that cheap energy will return with peace in Ukraine. It is not going to happen. The Chinese have the saying that if one does not see the coffin, he or she does not cry.
Sergei Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister had this to say of China - China always look far over the horizon, not just things close to its nose. Ten years for China is the minimum timeframe and the norm, nothing surprising. After all, China endured a century of humiliation yet managed to become what it is today. Certainly not by luck, but by grit, determination and hard work.
Countries that have gone through hardships and endured will just grow stronger. China must always remember how it overcame the odds, never mind what the USA is now doing, just persevere and do what is necessary. Those that live through times aplenty grow lazy, uncompetitive and will eventually lose the plot. Empires rise and fall, dynasties come and go, and the USA is no exception.

Time for the west who have experienced decades of decadence to suffer a bit, especially the yankees. The yanks have grown so delusional thinking they are the greatest on earth that they look at others as their pawns. They bully everyone. Haven't you heard the yankee tourist demanding special treatment in other countries, yelling 'I'm an American!'. The day is just round the corner when they're down and these yankees will refuse to acknowledge they're Americans.
Empires fall when clowns, nitwits and gangsters enter politics, an area they are least able to have any positive impact. Clowns belong to a circus; nitwits do not qualify to run a country, and gangsters are only capable of robbing the country that it was chosen to guard against in the first place. Adding to that are the 'eunuchs', or those 'advisers' in government, the 'journalists' in MSM and those running the propaganda machine that are contributing to the perceptive decline. Lest we forget, Dynasties in olden China falling into decay were also largely due to the 'eunuchs' interfering with the running of the country and influencing the decision of the emperor.
The USA is showing late symptoms of being run by clowns, nitwits and gangsters, though that has been in constant denial over the last two decades. But the harm had already been done, the swamp is too deep to be drained, the bottom of the barrel has fallen out due to over scraping. Real talents, with lack of monetary support or wealth, are not being given any opportunity to run for office. Perhaps it is the decision of the Deep State to exert better control over fake talents being chosen to run the country, not realizing that those chosen are running the country into the ground.
The USA chose to ignore the danger of outsourcing manufacturing, only looking at the ease of enjoying the fruits of labor of poorer countries and just be content to keep printing toilet papers in exchange. This privilege could not be enjoyed by others like China, and its manufacturing buildup is not a choice, but a necessity. The rest is history. Yet, the USA is now turning the narrative into one of China stealing USA jobs, jobs that the USA probably do not think necessary to retain in the face of its privilege of just being able to continue printing and enjoying. Moreover, it has now been exposed by Tim Cook that China's edge in manufacturing is not due to its cheap 'slave labor', a point constantly narrated, but its use of automation and robotics, its skilled workers and it's employment of 'economies of scale' to cut down cost, especially fixed cost attributed to land, factory and machinery. A huge domestic market is very important for China in this respect with its support for its 'economies of scale'.
Trump wants to start a war with Yemen, with the Houthis. I think he just stirred a nest of hornets without realizing it.
The USA had been involved in the Saudi Arabia/Yemen conflict for over seven years, supplying weapons to the Saudis, but still unable to win the fight. In fact, many people around the world had been saying that there was a catastrophic humanitarian crisis in Yemen involving refugees then, more serious than in Ukraine, but the whole world just closed its eyes feigning ignorance with the situation, just because that was being ignored by the MSM. Out of the news, out of mind seems to be the case.
After the peace deal on March 10, 2023, between Iran and Saudi Arabia brokered by the Chinese, things quietened down for a while after Iran's support for the Yemenis were no longer needed to fight the Saudis.
Hostilities between Israel and the Houthis erupted with the start of the war between Israel and Hamas in October 2023, during which the Houthis began to show its support for Hamas, and with the USA supporting Israel, the Houthis began to attack USA and Israeli shipping.
The USA may be thinking of having boots on the ground in Yemen, which will be another Afghanistan version 2. The lesson still not registering in the minds of the USA leaders is the believe that might is always right, which does not always equate to victory. Lesson have obviously not been learnt from the Vietnam and Afghanistan War. Then, the USA, with its aerial power, had been bombing the Vietcong day and night, with more than seven and a half million tons of bombs dropped on Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, the largest aerial bombardment in military history, and yet still without securing a victory.
The Houthis are just as tenacious as the Vietcong, and with weapons support from Iran, they are unlikely to back down, threats or not from Trump. The USA is not in a strong position in terms of weapon manufacturing, not with China sanctioning the export of essential metals for making bombs and other weapons like drones.
Hi all, all the good comments posted wef today will be arranged for posting as main articles after my return.

Lau Goh or Lau Sian? Remember, upgrading will increase the price of your HDB flat and is a very good investment. Not until your flat is 99 years of course. When that realization came, upgrading was stopped, no more a vote buying scheme.
Vietnam is still in the process of cleaning up the aftereffects of the Agent Orange hell created by the USA, a full half a century after the war ended in 1975. This is a war crime, clear and simple. There are also land mines that are still killing civilians.
How could Vietnam ever forgive the USA after all this being done to the country is difficult to understand? But then there is Japan, nuked twice by the USA and still supporting the USA against China. The USA is trying to be chummy with Vietnam, eyeing the significant rare earth reserves of Vietnam, the second largest in the world after China.
