Miao minority tribe - China's most beautiful minority group

 

10 min clip on China's most beautiful minority group, the Miao tribe. The tribe has some of the most beautiful girls, with beautiful ethnic dresses, costumes, rituals and a thriving culture. China's 55 minority tribes are living very well and preserving all their beautiful cultures and way of life. And their populations are growing with no legal restrictions on their right to produce more offsprings. China's one child policy and the new 3 child policy did not affect them.

Enjoy this beautiful clip and the charming Miao people. It is a treat for the eyes.

Saudi Arabia teaching Chinese as compulsory second language in schools

 

11 min clip on Saudi Arabia's education policy, all schools, private and public, to teach the Chinese language twice a week. This is a paradigm shift towards China and cannot be taken lightly. Several Arab states are also teaching Chinese in their schools, eg Iraq, UAE, Syria, sending their scholars to Chinese universities. Many Arabs are proficient Chinese speakers. The Anglophiles still complaining that Chinese, their mother tongue is difficult to learn?

The Chinese language is also used in Saudi Arabia airports. Quietly the Arab states are gravitating towards China, knowing that China is the superpower to trust, the superpower that supports Arabs and Muslims and the cause of the Palestinians, while the Americans and the Jews are committing genocide against the Palestinians and coercing and threatening the Arab states with regime change, and the most dangerous agenda of all, supporting Israel's Greater Israel Plan, meaning massacring and evicting all Arabs from the Middle East to create the state of Greater Israel.

With China increasingly getting involved in bringing about Arab and Muslim unity, China plays a central role in uniting all the central Asian Muslim states through BRI, SCO and BRICS, and the game changing rapproachment between Saudi Arabia and Iran, are all very significant acts that no amount of badmouthing and lies by the Americans and the West can do away with. 

China is solidly behind the Arab and Muslim world and a superpower that can stand up to the Americans, to provide all the military weapons to strengthen the Arab and Muslim world. The freedom of the Arab world from the control and oppression of the Americans depends solely on China.

Chinese investments in the Middle East, real investments in infrastructure and trade, dwarf the fictitious American and western investments on arms and weapons and the constant wars to turn all Arab states into failed states. The Arab states see their future in a strong China and in working and trading with China, in share interests and win win relationships. The final hurdle, to get rid of all the American military bases in their lands, to free themselves from American threats of regime change.

American terrorists breaching China's ADAA strategy

  The aggressive and hostile American regime is constantly extending its military presence all over the world to maintain its dominance and hegemony over weaker states. The whole of the Middle East is under the control of American forces under a vice grip that none can break free risking a regime change. The Americans' control over the Arab and Muslim states in the Middle East is complete.

The same kind of control is also being exercise in Japan and South Korea. The Japanese and South Korean armed forces are under the command of the Americans, making them de facto colonies of the American Empire. The Philippines under the Marcos regime has just volunteered to be another colony of the Empire, offering additional land to increase American bases from 4 to 9 in most of the major islands. The Philippines did not want to break free and is now happily continuing to be an American colony.

Africa thinks it is independent but in reality still under the control of the Americans and the French. There is an African Command in Africa, commanded by an Afro American, to rule over Africa. General Langley, a black African, is being treated by the American puppet African regimes like an Emperor, being dined and flattered wherever he goes. He calls the shot. Think he has been replaced.

A few African states led by younger African nationalist leaders are trying to break free and these leaders are on the execution list of the Americans, and the execution order would be carried out by the Afro American general on African leaders.

In the western Pacific, China has been working very hard to push out the American military presence with its Area Denial and Anti Access strategy. China has developed very effective missile forces, air force and naval forces to hit and sink all American air and naval assets in the region, to keep them out and far away from China's coast.

The Americans have designed alternative strategies to by pass this Chinese plan. They have increased their military assets in Japan and South Korea that are sited in close proximity to Chinese mainland, within the ADAA perimeters. The Americans have recently deployed more offensive missile forces in the Philippines also for the same purpose. They have these forward offensive bases inside China's ADAA defensive sphere, undermining the whole concept of keeping the American forces away from Chinese mainland. American Typhon missiles capable of delivering nuclear warheads are in the Philippines.

In a way, the Americans have broken through the Chinese ADAA defensive ring. What can China do to counter the presence of these offensive military bases? The American strategy is to use these bases for first strike at China in a war. China cannot afford to be hit first and have to strategise to take out these bases first before they strike. Otherwise, the whole ADAA strategy failed, becomes irrelevant.

What are China's plans to counter the presence of offensive American bases near its shores? With the presence of so many offensive American bases nearby, tactically the Americans have won, or have the advantage over the Chinese. China can only hope to survive the first attack and counter attack with its second and third strike capabilities, if they survived the first strike by the Americans.

This is a very dangerous game the Americans are playing, forcing the Chinese to make the first strike before the Americans strike first. The Americans or American cronies must not make a false move and misinterpreted by China as a first strike. A misread by China means they will push all the buttons with no hesitation. All the American bases within the ADAA zone would be blown up in a matter of minutes. The Chinese fingers are on the fire buttons all the time. This is how close the world is to WW3.

The world is at the brink of a nuclear war with the hostile American terrorists planning and threatening to nuke China. China would not be caught unprepared. There is no room for a single mistake. It is an existential matter, of life and death of a Civilisation. It can happen at any moment with lunatics in Washington in charge.

Trump talks peace but breeds war, like all American presidents

Trump thinks he can order Putin around like he orders Scott Bessent, Pete Hegseth or Howard Lutnik to do his bidding. Trump can only be around for four years if he can even last that long, while Putin is going to rule Russia in infinity.

Trump can't even order Netanyahu to do anything in Gaza. Actually, they are working hand in glove in Gaza, the same as bombing Iran and feigning ignorance. Netanyahu does not need the nod from Trump to do his genocide in Gaza. They are complicit to say the least.

Trump is trying to take credit for stopping the India/Pakistan war using trade deals, of all things, if you believe him. He is also trying to do the same with the Thailand/Cambodia conflict trying to fool the unwary. But he could not do what he gloated about a year ago, which is stopping the Ukraine War within 24 hours of taking office. Let us see how Putin will do in the next 12 days. It will again be water under the bridge, just flowing away undisturbed and another ultimatum.

Thailand is under a regime on the side of the USA, trying to destabilize Cambodia, a long-time ally of China. Taking action against Cambodia is all about countering China. The USA tried to do that using Myanmar years ago, thinking that Aung San Suu Kyis's rise to power will led to carrying out its agenda to break off Myanmar's China ties, but failed against the strongmen military regime. Now the USA is using Thailand to destabilize Cambodia, knowing there is an unsettled border issue between the two countries for decades, even centuries.

What was the issue all about? The border issue was there for centuries. It was all about the Thai PM, Paetongtarn Shinawatra calling Hung Sen 'uncle', which is a big issue with the partisan Thais, or should I say a big issue with the ground in Thailand bought by the USA. Thaksin Shinawatra, the father, is an economic adviser to the Cambodian Government, and also personal adviser to Hung Sen, so in my opinion for Thaksin's daughter to call Hung Sen 'uncle' is just an Eastern form of respect, nothing else.

In Thailand, any issue that can be exploited by the USA will be exploited. Red Shirts and Yellow Shirts are just opposite camps supported by pro and anti-USA elements, nothing more. He who pays the piper calls the tune.

Rise of Global South leaders

When there was no BRICS and no Global South countries coming together like today, the USA could dictate what it likes with global trade. It is now a different era, with the USA not the center of global trade anymore. The USA is now looked upon as a spoiler, nothing more. The more it tries to threaten countries, the more they distance themselves from the USA.

Diplomatically aware leaders of Countries do not do that openly, but discreetly to avoid too much attention, but there are still enough smart and enlightened leaders around. Ibrahim Traore, the interim President of Burkina Faco, is one such leader who is more daring and open in his thinking. But he must be extra vigilant as many assassination attempts have been made on his life and more to come. Nicolas Maduro, the President of Venezuela, is another leader of high intellect. And then there is Lius Inacio Lula da Silva, the President of Brazil and Naledi Pandor, the South African Minister of International Relations and Co-operation, a lady I admired for her eloquent speeches. Nelson Mandela would be proud of her. There are other African leaders just as capable and intelligent in their thinking.

Stop Starving Gaza...Trump playing golf

 

12 min clip on American state dept staff and veterans screaming and crying to stop the genocide in Gaza. The devils and beasts in Washington and Tel Aviv continue to massacre the Palestinians, depriving children of milk powder, starving all the women and old folks to death. 

Where is God? Is God behind this, to support the slaughtering of innocent people, in support of the devils and beasts in Washington and Tel Aviv to continue to slaughter the children and women of Gaza? Do they go to churches and synagogues to pray to God to help them to genocide the Palestinians?

Where are your conscience as decent human beans? Or are you one of them, the devils and beasts, to ignore this crime against humanity? Keeping silence, pretending not to see, not to know, is just as evil as the devils and beasts in Washington and Tel Aviv.

God will not allow it! Amen.

Follow India's strategy of not being over dependence on one country

 The Americans and the west have been pushing the narrative that countries should not be over dependent on China for trade, technology and everything. But it is ok to be overdependent on the Americans or the west. So they started to push the agenda for decoupling, but this failed and now calling for derisking.

India is perhaps the exemplary country that practised this non dependence on China strategy to the hilt. India bought its weapons from countries around the world, the best from Russia, UK, France, America, Israel and whoever, not from China. The Indian armed forces is like a United Nations of weapons manufacturers. India has gone to the stage of building the airframe of an aircraft, fitted with American engine, Italian tyres, European avionics and Russian weapons. This is like buying a car, with parts from all over the world and assembled in India...not to be dependent on any one country.

Pakistan on the other hand did not have this problem and would not be misled by this crazy and flimsy strategy of the West. Pakistan not only bought aircraft and weapons from China, but the whole operating systems, including radars and SAMs.

The merits or demerits of the two strategies are best demonstrated in the Operation Sindoor, between India and Pakistan. The rojak system of India failed miserably when all the parts cannot be put together to function as a whole system. The India Pakistan War speaks for itself and is telling the potential buyers of weapons systems what is best for their own interests and not be misled by the mischievous agenda and narratives of the West. But many countries like to believe in the American and western lies, especially Asian and Asean countries. They will continue to ransack all the western junkyards to find some discarded stuff and pay a ransom for them because they are made in the West.

Tariff or being invited to Beijing, which is more important to Trump?

 Trump is now being torn between tariffs and being invited to Beijing to meet up with Xi. Both are now the Achilles' Heel of Trump. China should exploit these weaknesses of Trump to squeeze the most out of him.

For the moment, it seems that Trump values an invite to Beijing as the most important thing in this term of office. Not being invited to Beijing is a big humiliation to him. It says Xi not only did not come to kiss his ass, Xi is cold shouldering him, leaving Trump out in the most important public relations event in big power politics, to be seen in the company of Xi and has a photo op with him.

How dare Xi not invite him to Beijing to be the VIP in China's Victory Parade in WW2? Many leaders will be there, Putin will be there. For Trump, the emperor of the American Empire not being invited is just unacceptable. By hook or by crook, Trump must be invited to be seen with Xi and Putin, the two most powerful men on earth, the two men he called good friends. It would be a joke that his good friends did not invite him for a party.

Xi knows how big Trump's ego is. Everything is about him, Trump the emperor. Trump must be seen in all the important events and places, and being in Beijing with Xi is THE thing. How much more backtracking is Trump going to take to please Xi just for this invite? TACO will be in another level if he is going to be in Beijing. But the suspense is draining Trump. Xi is simply keeping quiet, not saying a word about it.

On the other hand, Trump is boasting in public that Xi has invited him, and that he has received a lot of invitations, like from Marcos of the Philippines, Modi, Zelensky and Netanyahu and a few ass lickers that wanted to be seen with him for a photo op. With such bragging, if Xi did not invite him, Trump would have nowhere to hide his face. Trump has dug himself into a corner and must be in Beijing, even if not attending the Victory Parade, perhaps another day. Being invited by Xi is now the most important thing in his life.

Why would Xi want to have this untamed bull in a China shop to embarrass him and everyone in a major PR event in China? It would be disastrous if that happens. Better be safe than be sorry. And there is no reason for Xi and Putin to want to be seen with Trump, the scoundrel that is waging all kinds of wars and mischiefs against them.

PS. Trump is busily trying to put up a big trade delegation including all the top honchos of America as an excuse to visit Beijing. It is like making an offer that Xi cannot refuse. Latest, the honchos are going to China themselves, without Trump, knowing that Trump is not welcomed in China.

Ukraine War started by the American terrorists. Trump orders Putin to stop it in 12 days

Trump just plucks figures from the air. Before coming to power, he boasted about ending the Ukraine War within 24 hours. Lately, he gave the ultimatum to Putin to settle for the Ukraine Peace Deal within 90 days, or else. Yesterday, it was another story, giving Putin 10 to 12 days instead of the 90 days to accept the deal or else. This is not the kind of leader that the world thinks he is sensible, but more likely that he is mentally unsound. Trump thinks Putin is that simple minded like him, waking up at 3 am in the morning after a bad dream and talking nonsense the next day.

Trump can give Putin 12 hours to make the deal, hoping Putin does not have the time to make enough weapons, but it makes little difference. Russia has already all the weapons made to expand the war, to destroy Ukraine if necessary. Putin does not need 12 hours or 90 days to make enough weapons to sink Ukraine. The same with China, weapons all ready for any war with the USA. Both Russia and China have the greatest advantage in raw materials to do that. Not the USA nor the EU, with rare earth restrictions hanging like the Sword of Damocles which everyone knows.

Now Trump is rushing to take credit for the ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. He is again throwing trade deals as his 'Art of the Deal' to make peace between Thailand and Cambodia, just like between India and Pakistan. Trump is truly desperate to get the Nobel Peace Prize by hook or by crook. Laughable, calling himself a peace President.

China spends its budget on caring for its people, America spends its budget on wars and destabilising the world

USA has the best, because the people can vote for the right hand or the left hand. Other than that, what else is there to show? Just look at the drug problem in Kensington, Pennsylvania alone, where they call it the zombie street, with drug addicts sleeping on the walkways not knowing whether it is day or night. This is not the only place in the USA that have zombies lining the streets. There are many other places where drug dealers openly do businesses in front of police stations and law enforcements.

Singapore is somewhere between China and the USA. Singaporeans pride themselves on having the right to vote, for a dictatorship which some called it. It is the best example of a dictatorship that is working like a democracy. That it works so well is grounded in the greed, fear and afraid to lose mentality of its citizens. The three together works like a charm and the ruling party knows it. Just throwing chicken wings now and then will keep the people happy and contented. How long will it last is the question, as more and more is demanded. People living with crutches will never give up their benefit with those crutches. They will fall down. We have seen that in our northern neighbor.

China is a communist state, a dictatorship which the West likes to use to demonize it. Call it the worst of the three, with the people without the right to vote. However, it is a proven 'benevolent' communist state or a dictatorship, with the people at the heart and pinnacle of the ruling CCP. It puts to shame the democracy of the USA, where citizens are not at the heart of the ruling elites. A perfect example is adding to their misery with those tariffs, while the super-rich get tax cuts, the sector that matters to the ruling elites.

Now, which is better is for their citizens to choose, not for us to say. They choose the system; they have to live with it.

Gaza Genocide - Theatre of two mass murderers...Trump and Netanyahu

CAIRO: United States President Donald Trump said on Monday (Jul 28) many people were starving in Gaza and suggested Israel could do more on humanitarian access, as Palestinians struggled to feed their children a day after Israel declared steps to improve supplies.

As the death toll from two years of war in Gaza nears 60,000, a growing number of people are dying from starvation and malnutrition, Gaza health authorities say, with images of starving children shocking the world and fuelling international criticism of Israel over sharply worsening conditions.

Describing starvation in Gaza as real, Trump's assessment put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said on Sunday "there is no starvation in Gaza" and vowed to fight on against the Palestinian militant group Hamas - a statement he reposted on X on Monday.

However, Netanyahu later on Monday described the situation in Gaza as "difficult", saying his country was working to ensure aid delivery to the besieged strip.

"Israel will continue to work with international agencies as well as the US and European nations to ensure that large amounts of humanitarian aid flow into the Gaza Strip," Netanyahu said, according to a statement from his office. CNA

Between these two war criminals, Trump and Netanyahu, one supplies all the weapons and the other uses it to genocide the Palestinians. Now one clown said the Palestinians are dying of starvation and he is going to build food centres to feed them. The other clown said condition is difficult and he is working to ensure aid reaches the starving Palestinians, but blocking all the aids going to them, and killing aid workers.

Clown Trump also said Israel has a lot of responsibility for aid flows to save the starving Palestinians. The Americans, clown Trump himself, are complicit in massacring the Palestinians and have no responsibility?

This piece of great news about these two mass murderers is the height of western media hypocrisy. But don't blame the western media and their accomplices, the reporters and journalists. Blame the silly people that believe in such nonsensical reports. 

And one mass murderer is nominating the other mass murderer for Nobel Peace Prize, for genociding the Palestinians people. And you can bet the equally clownish Nobel Committee would seriously consider the nomination and very likely to award a peace prize to War Criminal Donald Trump. And the other war criminal Netanyahu would be given the honour to present the prize. And the whole western world and their journalists and reporters would be there to report on this sickening farce of the century, with no shame or guilt.

The killing is still going on daily, nonstop, 24/7. No more bleeding heart western NGOs and leaders to shed crocodile tears for the Palestinians. And the western media would glorify on the food centres that mass murderer Trump would set up, if it did happen, to justify for his peace prize. It would be front page news.

What card is Singapore playing?

 PM Lawrence Wong made his first official visit outside Asean to China instead of the USA. This was a strong signal to both America and China that China is a very important partner to Singapore, but this would not be taken lightly by the Americans. In a way Singapore cannot visit Washington now in the face of Trump's hostile tariff policies and his rude remarks that leaders would be going to Washington to kiss his ass. This statement has made many leaders to stay away from Washington for the time being except for those that do not mind kissing Trump's ass.

Asean and the world are watching Singapore carefully in its relationship with the world's two superpowers, USA and China. Some may see this as Singapore playing the China card. Hsien Loong's comment that was played up in the social media about a world without America, ie World minus one, too gave the impression that America is losing its number one position in Singapore.

Then out of the blue came the release of information provided by America and India that China was cyberattacking Singapore. And Singapore treated this very seriously, like real when it is from the Americans and Indians. There was no indication of wanting to suspect that this could be another false flag incident to drive a wedge between China and Singapore by the Americans and the Indians. Or is this how Singapore is showing its hand, that it is playing the American and Indian cards?

China was furious and denied the allegation, calling for proof. The Americans and Indians would definitely have their versions of proof that China was guilty. How reliable or true were the proofs is subject to interpretation of the believers, as the motive and intent are political in nature. The consequence is that the China card seems to be dropped, and Singapore is now seen waving the American and Indian cards to China.

More reports are being churned out in local media about state hackers attacking Singapore. You can guess where the fingers are pointing. The source definitely not from America or India, or from 5 eyes countries. Singapore can trust its good friends not to hack into Singapore. Is China a friend or a foe? To the brain dead Singaporeans, this world is black and white. Only 'enemies' attack you. There are no such things as false flag or fabricated incidents. And China is so stupid, conducts hacking and be caught so easily by third world talents red handed, ... at the same time admitting that China's state hackers are the best in the world.  Never heard of the phrase, thief shouting thief?

Marcos Junior was reported saying that the Philippines is in the process of forming a coalition of likeminded countries against China. Singapore's defence pact with the Philippines and the visit of Lawrence Wong to the Philippines recently, a country that most Asean leaders would avoid, could be seen as playing the Philippines card.

So, which card is Singapore really playing? The China card seems to be shaky now with the cyberattack allegation still hanging in the air. But Singapore has nothing to worry about. Singapore can fall back on the American card, to earn plenty of dollars, and the Indian card, plenty of rupees, and also the Philippine card, the most powerful military state in Asean that is preparing for war with China. Having three cards is better than one, I supposed. And the three cards are all of the same shade of colours and likeminded, like Singapore.

At the worst, Singapore just loses China and find the door to BRICS completely shut. But with the big American and Indian markets fully open, Singapore's future is secured. This could be the reason why Singapore is putting more billions into India. And Singapore can count on the Philippines and can buy  more bananas and have more maids to grease its economy.

Singapore is in a very good position to have so many cards to play with. And the future is in India. Even if the Trump brings down America, India is a virgin market of growth with 1.4b potential middle class customers to feed. And Singapore can use its Indian diaspora to gain an edge in investing in India. Singapore must be thinking long term and playing the long game in India.

What do you think?

Trump is happy as long as he can collect tariffs aka more taxes

Trump is gloating about all the tariff successes. One question he and Scott Bessent dare not answer - Who are paying those tariffs?

Alright, there are agreements with Japan and now the EU, but who is going to pay for the 15% tariffs on imports from Japan and the EU? Not the Japanese or EU manufacturers. They are not going to eat the tariffs. The importers inside the USA are paying those tariffs to be passed on to USA consumers. The Hillbillies are paying for it, not the importers eventually. The importers will have to close shop if they are to absorb those tariffs. So, the question is still - Who are paying those tariffs? Simple question, but a very difficult question for Trump and Scott Bessent to answer. It is just fortunate for them that the Hillbillies are so easy to be manipulated, just like the Native American Indians before them.

As for the touted US$500 billion investments coming from Japan, that is a non-event to gloat about Japan already invested close to US$2 trillion in the USA and if Japan invested more in manufacturing, who can they sell their products to? On the other side of the coin, the USA wants to sell more to the Japanese, by forcing the Japanese to accept a lower threshold of safety for example USA made cars. The Japanese Government may relent, but Japanese consumers are not going to buy them knowing that safety features cannot stand up to Japanese consumer standards. What sounds great does not translate into great if we look closer at the picture. Japan is a country that relies on exports, not imports.

America, China or Singapore political system, which is better?

China has the best system of government in taking care of its citizen. Not like the so call democratic system, where politician only work to benefit themselves & their family/friend. Democratic system tends to lead to fight/disagreement among its citizens.

Perhaps we should think out of the box and create a system without any political party. Create a political school where people who wish to take up Ministerial appointment can enroll and study the various aspect of government.(study attachment to G various dept./town council..etc). Upon graduation after 3-4yrs, they could stand for election individually to sell their koyok of how they wish to run the country. We citizens will then vote for the one to lead the country. The winner can select from his course mate to run various G dept.

Unfortunately the current people in power will not allow such a system to appear, they will die die want to maintain their power till eternality.

Health checks - Another happy client

I'm a 51-year-old man and I’m psychologically allergic to health checks

Mr Imran Johri, a father of three children, knows how important regular health screenings are. He reflects on why he continues to resist getting the check-ups....

And as fate would have it, at the screening my wife wrestled me into doing, the doctor did detect an irregular rhythm in one of my arteries.

There were tears – mostly my wife's. After all, one of her deepest fears – that I would leave this world first – was suddenly very real.

More checks later revealed that my sputtering artery was the result of a combination of caffeine abuse, work stress and poor sleep habits. I am getting it sorted with follow-up checks, a revised diet plan and a crackdown on my coffee intake. CNA

Above is from an article in CNA emphasing how important a health check is and how happy one can be for doing the health check and discovered an irregularity. It would be another case of, wow, so lucky to do the checks or else, like striking lottery. Without the health check, the irregularity would not be detected. So, for those who would want to find out irregularities in their bodies in the early stages, some can be quite serious, it is better to go for health checks. This is the message of the article.

Imran is glad that he could live longer with the early detection and the preventive measures he is taking to take care of his condition. This is the part that I don't agree with. How long one lives is not directly related to one's health. Many irregularities and conditions are not death threatening and would not determine how long one could live. A health check could reveal whatever irregularities there are in the body. And most people have irregularities, big or small, life threatening or not. For those who want their bodies to be perfect, regular health checks are important to detect and treat any irregularities in the early stages. Some may make do with the little irregularities as they did not affect the quality of their lives.

In my own philosophy of life, how long one lives is fated, in a way predestined. Have or do not have irregularities or serious impairments in the body is not a factor that decides how long one would live, but would determine how well one can live while alive.

For those who are in doubt, fear of having irregularities in their bodies, they should go for check ups for peace of mind. This is a lifestyle choice.

Gaza Genocide continues unabated, with increasing deaths...Soon would be a forgotten issue

 Where is the conscience of the world when the Palestinians, a people just like anyone else, is being massacred everyday by the hundreds. And these are the women, old folks and children, defenceless, just to be butchered by the Americans and the Israelis. All the world could do, or think that is the best they could do, is to kpkb, call for ceasefire and nothing else. The UN is hapless, the ICJ, ICC, the Arab and Muslim world, ...forget about NATO, they are accomplices to this genocide.

BRICS, SCO, Global South, all could not do a thing to his shameful and barbaric slaughtering of a people right before their eyes. And the new hopeful, a group of 32 nation states called the Hague 30, looked so promising, claiming to be disgusted by the inactivity and haplessness of all other organisations, wanted to do something immediately. But nothing has been done, ended up just like the rest of the useless organisations, talk and talk, no action.

At the very least, they can cut off relations with Israel, stop trade and all activities with Israel, sanction Israel and Israelis from visiting their lands. But no, these simple unilateral things also cannot do, afraid to do, or being coerced by the Americans not to do.

After more than 70 years of lies and deceits by the Americans, with empty promises and theatres about defending the right of the Palestinians, but actually working with the Israelis to slaughter them and stealing their lands, only the very stupid would still believe in the Americans and their words. But there is no need to stretch any imagination to see the queue of Arab and Muslim leaders outside Washington, shaking hands with rogue Trump and all his murderers, and still begging the American terrorists to defend and protect the Palestinians. And when rogue Trump conveniently said yes to them, they are so happy and went home believing that Trump will honour what he said.

Stupidity has no cure. And it is happening everyday. After more than 70 years of being cheated and duped by the Americans, they continue to go to Washington to ask to be cheated, duped and made a fool of in front of the whole world and their people. Trump and his butchers and all the white leaders must be laughing themselves silly at all the Arab and Muslim leaders crawling to Washington to be fooled.

Is there really no Arab and Muslim leader that can see through the lies of the Americans? Is there really nothing that can be done to save the Palestinians from being massacred by the Americans and the Israelis? Have more theatres, more cries and make more calls for ceasefire to please their conscience or to appease the rage of their people for not doing anything to save the Palestinians. This is the best they could do.

And the massacres go on and on. Soon there will be no Palestinians left and the Americans would come and save the leftovers by creating a few reservations in West Bank or Gaza and march the last of the survivors into them, to save them like protecting extinct animals. And all the sillies and stupids would praise the Americans for their goodness and protecting the rights of the Palestinians to be alive.

And a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump and Netanyahu.

American Democrazy is so flawed, a broken system that elects jokers, clowns, scoundrels and criminals to power

Let them enjoy the show while it lasts, thinking that China is going to be rattled. It is just a gathering of flies over dead rotten meat.

I want to talk about China's strategy over the decades, a strategy that has at its core the 'continuity' of China's agenda, unlike the Western democracy that has no long-term ideal. In the Western democracy, leaders come and go with each change of Government, no loyalty, no long-term strategic goals, and all catering to self-gain and how to grow richer.

Chinese leaders rise from the ranks. They rise from the bottom, working together, planning and inputting their expertise even as new potential leaders are inducted. It is an ongoing process of renewal. Of course, some will not fit in and are eventually discarded. But the core idea is that China's policies are born not on the spur of the moment - waking up at 3 am from a dream and implemented the next day, but a calculated response to global threats and competition. Chinese leaders work together as a unit, finding solutions to problems like eradicating poverty, building a better living environment for the Chinese population, investing in sectors that they think will continue to bolster China's progress into the future.

Has that strategy worked? I think it has worked perfectly for China. I think it is a big, beautiful and successful strategy all along. There is no wastage of resources holding elections that ultimately brings little stability but plenty of confusing policies, some to get rid of those from the preceding regime. But little changes, as those taking over the power all come from the same swamp. What is the point of electing leaders that just represents the right or left hand of the Deep State? The whole democratic process has evolved into a very corrupt system of Government - the legislative, administrative and judicial all drinking from the same trough and coming from the same swamp.

Exercise Talisman Sabre - 30,000 participated in anti China wargame

Quotes attributable to Lieutenant General Joel B. Vowell, Deputy Commanding General U.S. Army Pacific:

“Exercise Talisman Sabre 2025 is a powerful demonstration of our combined strength, trust, interoperability, and readiness across the Indo-Pacific. As part of the Combined Joint Force, we train diligently and realistically to integrate capabilities across land, sea, air, cyber, and space domains, operating alongside our allies and partners from 19 nations...(to target China).

“Exercises like Talisman Sabre allow us to employ war winning capabilities, operate in critical locations, signal our multinational resolve, and galvanize our collective will. This is how we generate deterrence and work towards our ultimate goal: no war. (Actually to fight a war with China).

Over the next three weeks, more than 35,000 military personnel from Australia and partnering nations will deploy across Queensland, Northern Territory, Western Australia, New South Wales and Christmas Island. For the first time, activities will also be conducted outside of Australia in Papua New Guinea.

In addition to the United States, forces from Canada, Fiji, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, and the United Kingdom will join as partners.

Malaysia and Vietnam will also attend as observers. 

The above quotes are from the Australian Government News. The comments in brackets are mine. 19 nations and 35,000 personnel wasting their time and money in an exercise conceived by the Americans to attack China in a kinetic war. Everyone knows what this exercise is all about. No country that participated in this exercise can claim to be ignorant of the intent and purpose of the exercise and which country is the enemy to be attacked.

Malaysia and Vietnam just went as observers, did not want to be complicit as hostile parties against China. Some little Pacific countries joined by coercion, could not say no to the Americans.

By participating in a military exercise aimed at attacking China, the countries are as good as saying they will join the Americans should they start a war with China. It cannot be otherwise. 35,000 military personnel and all the warships and weapons can be easily turned into an attacking force in a real war. This is not playing house like little innocent children. This is playing a very dangerous and aggressive war game. The participants of this anti China wargame has taken sides against China, willingly or unwillingly. They can be sure that their names are in China's enemy list and the score would have to be settled one day.

Thankfully China is well prepared for such an eventuality. All the warships would be sitting ducks to the PLA and be sunk before they know what is happening. The Houthis have shown that it can be easily done. The Chinese hypersonic missiles, satellite and laser technologies are far more advanced and deadly than what the Americans and the West can envisioned. 

This kind of wargames is good for WW2 but totally irrelevant in modern warfare with modern technology, like the Indians waiting for a dogfight with the Pakistanis without knowing that the Pakistanis are taking them for target practice from a distance, with snipers in the sky.

This is how outdated and obsolete are American weapons, doctrines, thinking and war strategies. Many silly countries are still willing to be the running dogs of the Americans and want to join the Americans in an American war against China when China is their major trading partners, not their enemies. Some even happily execute the American's anti China propaganda in their national media daily, thinking that they can get away with it because they have their American masters behind their backs.

Tariff is a new growth sector for Trump

I would not be so sure about the USA economy not declining especially in the Chip manufacturing sector. Intel is now still cutting jobs, saying that it is correcting manufacturing missteps, which can mean anything. Overinvesting is something they do not want to disclose for sure. It is too painful to think about.
Samsung was more upfront regarding its reluctance to expand further in the USA, citing the lack of a bigger market to absorb the increase production resulting from further investments, meaning that it is losing market beyond just China, to put it nicely. Actually, Samsung has only a small market share in China, so the problem is more widespread regarding demand than just pointing to China alone. Of course, we are not the experts and only their words matter. We are just mere mosquitoes buzzing nonsense.

Chips is no longer the talking point. Even if the chips war has failed, the USA will not want to talk further about it. What has been built and invested by TSMC, Samsung and Intel is dead and buried and cannot be expected to be recouped. So does all the subsidies thrown at the problem.

Tariff is the talking point, the beginning of a new growth sector, LOL. Well, countries are still eager and willing to build bridges that will bypass the USA, and not all those tariffs imposed will necessarily contribute to Trump's coffers. It is still left to be seen how countries navigate the treacherous waters set up by Trump. I believe they will find a way, just like Russia and everyone else sanctioned by the USA and the Anglo-Saxon clique. This is not a world centered on the USA alone. This is becoming a world where there is BRICS and a Global South playing a bigger game than just fixated on the USA alone.

AI illiterate Trump plans to win the AI war

President Donald Trump marked the plan's release with a speech where he laid out the stakes of the technological arms race with China, calling it a fight that will define the 21st century.

"America is the country that started the AI race. And as president of the United States, I'm here today to declare that America is going to win it," Trump said.

The plan, which includes some 90 recommendations, calls for the export of US AI software and hardware abroad as well as a crackdown on state laws deemed too restrictive to let it flourish, a marked departure from predecessor Joe Biden's "high fence" approach that limited global access to coveted AI chips....

Michael Kratsios, head of the Office of Science and Technology Policy, told reporters on Wednesday the departments of Commerce and State will partner with the industry to "deliver secure full-stack AI export packages, including hardware models, software applications and standards to America's friends and allies around the world". CNA

The AI Revolution is not something that a nitwit AI illiterate like Trump can appreciate fully, let alone wanting to take charge in this war and to win. So far Trump has been doing everything his little mind came up with to destroy the AI industry, killing the manufacturers of high end chips and chasing away the top AI talents from the USA.

The key elements in a successful AI development are the big manufacturers of the high end chips which include all the top hardware engineers, the top software AI engineers, developers and designers, and the creative talents of innovators to exploit the power of both software and hardware available. Huge financing is a given.

And who is American fighting against in this race? The very people, the talents that Trump and his rogues in Washington are attacking and trying to put down, the Chinese. The top manufacturers of high end chips that are needed in this revolution are Chinese, in America and in China. Big names like TSMC, Nvidia, AMD, Qualcomm, SMIC, Huawei are all Chinese, run by top ethnic Chinese engineers. The only exception is ASML. Unfortunately, Trump has been working very hard in his silly and unthinking policies to kill these companies. ASML is a goner by now with China leapfrogging ahead with new chip making processes and machinery. 

AMD, Qualcomm, TSMC and Nvidia are losing their market shares in China and soon in the world. The big squeeze and ban on these companies to sell their products in China have forced China to accelerate in its pursuit to be independent and self sufficiency in high end chips. And China is nearly there. Thanks to the nitwit Trump. Very soon, China will have no need to buy from any of these American based companies. Not only that China will be self sufficient, it will develop better and more advanced chips and flood the world market to out compete against the American based companies.

As for software development and applications, the Chinese talents are among the best and most innovative in this field, both in China and in the US. It is a battle between the Chinese talents in the US and China. With Trump's aggressive racist policies against the Chinese talents in America, many will find it untenable and dangerous to remain in the US and would return to China, to hollow up the talent pool in America. 

Trump can then hope to rely on the second best in the industry, the Indians to compete with the Chinese talents...in both hardware and software developments. Nitwit Trump is declaring himself the winner just when the war is starting. Trump will win by simply bragging and blowing his horns. The verdict is already clear for all to see. Bragging and wishful thinking and bad policies can never win this high tech war that needs real talents, not talents that lie and cheat with words and sophistry.

AI cannot exists in a vaccum. It needs the complements of 5G/6G communication networks. It needs satellites as well. And Beidou system is miles ahead of the ageing American GPS. In these two areas, the Americans are slipping behind by the day, no way of catching up, with all the money spent on wars and paying debt.

And who are the Americans going to sell their overpriced hundreds of billions AI networks to? China? China would be the biggest buyer, with the deep pockets to pay for them. But as usual, the Americans would not want to sell to their biggest customer, China. Neither would China want to buy from the Americans. China will have better and cheaper systems and will be selling to the rest of the world.  

Who then would be there to buy overpriced American AI systems when they can get better and cheaper systems from China, clean and efficient systems, without all the spying and monitoring programmes embedded by the Americans to pose a security risk? And with all the silly and mischievous conditions attached?

The AI War is a war of hard sciences and technical expertise. The winners would not be the smooth talkers without substance. A wrong circuit, a bad circuit, a wrong and badly written software would be a wrong and a very serious mistake that would multiply and bring the whole house down. This is a war of precision engineering and programmes, not wishy washing, a little mistake here and there never mind.  There is no room for a single error, no matter how minor it is.

Modi is the type of talents Trump and his team will be relying on to fight this AI War. All talks of grandeurs, fantasies, the best in the world, but without the real army of talents to make it happened, like in India. Modi is now looking like a proud peacock strutting around in a debris infested slum, with nothing to show except empty promises and bragging rights.

Trade war is not easy to win, even with lies and cheating. The AI War cannot be won by cheating and half baked talents with fake degrees and qualifications. With the nitwits and clowns around him, there is no way that Trump is going to win this war of real talents. Trump can talk and brag like Modi, and win this war with words and lies and misinformation using in the media and twitting.

Von der Leyen bitches in Beijing and was shown the door

 Von der Leyen led a delegation to Beijing despite not being invited. Her hostility towards China is well known and getting more intense by the day. Xi had shown his displeasure by cancelling his summit with EU in Brussel and cutting short the meeting to just one day, to be led by Li Qiang instead. Xi's displeasure apparently has been ignored by von der Leyen. On the excuse of the 50 year EU China relationship, she gatecrashed into Beijing for a photo op with Xi.

Yes, this visit by her delegation has nothing substantive or meaningful to talk about. The agenda and intent were anything but friendly. China knew but played the gracious host, abiding by all the diplomatic protocol for the delegation. Xi took the opportunity to lecture the EU delegation on what is good relations and gave them a choice to be friends or enemies. The meeting was shortened by half an hour when the visitors were adamant to be rude, demanding China to stop supporting Russia.

As expected, after the meeting with Xi and Li Qiang, the EU held a press briefing and had to say they raised the issue of human rights, a standard procedure of the West to slap China. They raised this in Brussel that infuriated Xi. After decades of provocations using human rights, Taiwan, Tibet and Xinjiang, China has had enough. No unfriendly foreign delegations would be allowed to raise such topics in meeting with Chinese delegations, especially in China, or would be shown the door.

This was exactly what China did to the von der Leyen delegation. They arrived in the morning, had their meeting and told to fly back in the evening. China did not even offer them dinner, not going to waste public money and sharing good food with swine. The message was clear. Rude, uncouth and uncivilised visitors would not be entertained in China. Do not try to talk bad about China, meddle with China's domestic affairs in China. Period.

If von der Leyen and Antonio Costa did not get the message and continue to want to mess around with China, this would be their last visit to China. This is the same message that China is sending to scoundrel Trump. No invitation to China, no good food and no good wine. These are deserved for friends and honourable guests of China, invited by China.

Small or weaker countries can defeat much stronger country in wars

It is not so hard to believe that a smaller or a weaker country cannot always defeat a much stronger country in a war. History has proven it is a myth cooked up by the believe in the propaganda that might will always turn out victorious.

We have to look no further than the Vietnam War, with the USA's superiority in everything, from aerial domination, to weapons, to number of combatants on the ground supplemented by the South Vietnamese, the South Koreans and yet not being able to eke out a victory. The USA even used chemical weapons to help it fight the war and yet was at the losing end. Who can believe that? Of course, North Vietnam had the support of China and Russia during that war. Added to that was the tenacity and refusal to submit attitude of the North Vietnamese that resulted in final victory.

Then, there was Afghanistan, without the backing of China or Russia to speak of but still managing to turn the 20 year-long war to its favor, with no aerial support to speak of, not even a proper army. The Taliban were basically farmers, carrying small arms, but big enough to fight a much bigger and stronger enemy. Tenacity and resoluteness to defeat the enemy was instrumental in all battles.

Every sector of American economy is declining except chips. But the Washington clowns are killing the chip industry

 Next on the chopping block will be South Korea. Every one of them will be forced to buy more Boeing planes and agricultural products to save the USA agricultural sector now in deep trouble. Agriculture is as much a National Security Issue for the USA, because if more farmers go out of business, the USA will face a food crisis. It is so ironic that the USA, once the food bowl of the world, is now producing food that the world does not want.

Brazil, Argentina and Russia are hitching a ride on the food bonanza wagon, with China the market that they had been looking forward to selling to and is now becoming a reality. As farming grows in these three countries, we are seeing a corresponding decline in the USA agricultural sector. How the world has changed!

India and Japan are now being forced to buy rice from the USA, which is just like carrying coal to Newcastle in the old days. Newcastle produces so much coal itself and is an exercise in futility. India is the second biggest rice producer in the world, with Indian farmers surviving on that staple alone. Indians take to their own variety of rice, and I wonder how those USA rice will figure in their diet. Taking away their livelihood is going to create a massive problem for Indian farmers going forward with imported USA rice. But Trump does not care so long as it the USA's interests that he wants to take care of first.

Talking about Japan, I would not know how they are going to use USA rice to make Japanese sushi. I never like Japanese sushi, so I am not one to comment. Should be possible, but will the Japanese take to it.

Thai Cambodian border clash. Who is the provocateur? Who is the beneficiary?

 ASEAN has enjoyed more than 50 years of peace after the French and Americans fled from Vietnam. This peace is not easy to maintain with the white savages trying to start another war to destabilise the region. Mickey Marcos has been in the forefront aiding the Americans to start a war in the South China Sea. China has to exercise great restraint and endured the silly provocation of this Mickey Mouse to avoid an open conflict. But China's patience is wearing thin as the provocations get more serious with the Mickey Mouse allowing the American terrorists to deployed nuclear missiles in their islands to target China.

Now the unexpected has happened. The temple dispute between Thailand and Cambodia was settled in  1962 when the UN passed judgement that it belonged to Cambodia. Since then the Thais had been unhappy about this and occasionally raised the issue with small skirmishes between the border police. This time it blew up into open conflict with deaths on both sides. Now artillery and fighter bombers are being used and the conflict is escalating into an open war.

Who is the real culprit behind this escalation? The Thais or the Cambodians? A better way to understand the real troublemaker is to ask, who is the beneficiary of this conflict or who would want to see the Thais and Cambodians fighting in an open war, and destroying the peace in SE Asia?

Some Asean people are easily bribed by provocateurs to want to go to war for personal benefits instead of the interests of the nation and people. The Thai and Cambodian people must not be misled and easily aroused to go against each other and create another Ukraine in the region. War is only good for the warmongering tribes, the savages. Asean people should be sensible and remain calm in the face of such provocation and not become pawns of foreign powers.

In such a war, the people that died would be Thais and Cambodians. Their economy and lives would be adversedly affected while the mastermind would be laughing from afar and would come in to offer arms for sale to profit from the war.

Stop being silly and go back to the negotiating table and talk. ASEAN now has something to be busy about, something to meddle with other than the internal affairs of Myanmar. This is a matter that ASEAN must take an active role to avoid a war between its members.

The rise and rise of Muslim states

 Shakespeare wrote, some were born great, some achieved greatness, some have greatness thrusted upon them. For centuries, after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, the last Muslim Empire, the Muslim states were totally under the control of the western powers. They were divided up and ruled, manipulated to distrust each other and to fight each other endlessly. Their cultural and religious differences were exploited to the full by the western powers to sow enmity and suspicion among the Muslim and Arab states. QED. Some Middle Eastern Arab and Muslim states may be rich with oil, but they were never independent, never allowed to be independent, to be free. They were captive states of the western powers, made to do the bidding of the West, made to support the western powers to fight their brothers and sisters. No Arab and Muslim state could call itself a regional power. They just exist under the grace and mercy of the western powers.

The Americans and the western powers destroyed the Arab and Muslim states in many wars. Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Iran etc etc were attacked and weakened periodically, never the rich and powerful states they once were. No more Egyptian Empire, no more Persian Empire, no more Ottoman Empire. The Muslim world was no better than the African states.

Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear power was temporarily tolerated and could be taken out anytime, by the Americans, the Israelis and India. No Muslim state must be allowed to become a nuclear power. This is the white men's world order. Then came Operation Sindoor. India thought it was now the military superpower in South Asia with the acquisition of Europe's best fighter aircraft, the Rafales. India believed that the Rafales could take down all Chinese aircraft. The Chinese aircraft were simply no match to the best European aircraft, the Rafales according to western narratives.

The first mission was to take down Pakistan, now considered a much weaker country militarily with not the best Chinese aircraft. Taking down Pakistan was a piece of cake. And the Americans and Israelis were all behind India, to get rid of Pakistan's nuclear capability, the Muslim nuclear threat. A false flag incident was cooked with a so called terrorist attack in Kashmir. India insisted that it was Pakistan behind it and would not listen to any explanation, and launched an attack they thought would be a sure win, and with the Americans and Israelis fully behind India, providing military and logistic support, plus GPS.

Pakistan did not think it could win a war with the Indians. It was a much smaller country and smaller in everything else. Pakistan did not want this war. It was not ready for it. It was India, the Americans and Israel that wanted this war. The war was thrusted upon an unwilling Pakistan and all factors pointing to a Pakistan defeat. Never would the Indians, Americans and Israelis believe that the weapon systems provided by China were actually more superior and effective than anything the Indians have. The rest is history.

Pakistan gave India a big thrashing without losing an aircraft or a pilot. The defeat of the Indian Air Force was humiliating. The delusion that India was then the most powerful air force in the region, air superiority, with world best fighters to control the sky, went up in smokes. Pakistan announced a 6-0 victory over the Indian Air Force. Some sources said it was 9-0. In a short 4 day war, Pakistan is now recognised as a formidable regional power, capable of taming the IAF without sweating the small stuff. Pakistan is a Muslim state that could defeat a non Muslim power, the superpower of the future, India.

This victory was followed by Iran's destruction of Israel with super accurate hypersonic missiles, rockets and drones. This is unbelieveable. No one think it was possible. Israel is the invincible super regional power in the Middle East, ruling and bullying all the Arab and Muslim states. The name Israel sends fears to all the Arab and Muslim leaders. Israel only talked about attacking this or that Arab or Muslim state knowing that none would dare to hit back. Israel only assassinates and kills Arab and Muslim leaders and none would fight back. Iran not only hit back, but with deadly force, destroying many Israeli cities and their military facilities. How bad was the damage, only the Israelis know, and they called for an immediate ceasefire. Only losers called for ceasefire. 

The whole world saw the collapse of the Israeli myth of invincibility. The whole world saw what Iran is capable off, fighting Israel and the Americans and still standing. The Americans and Israelis must be planning and rethinking how to attack Iran again. But they know it is not that easy. China and Russia would not allow Iran to fall. Period.

Then there are the little but mighty Houthis taking on the world's number one terrorist state, the USA, attacking their carrier strike group and keeping them away from the Middle East, unable to transit the Strait of Bab el Mandeb. A group of slipper wearing freedom fighters could take control over a strait and the Americans could not do anything about it. This is really David against Goliath. The Houthis or Yemenis have risen as a regional power, a formidable Muslim force to take on the Americans.

Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are bidding their time quietly on the sideline, stocking up all the necessary weapons needed for a war against the Israelis and the western powers, a war that will come, sooner or later. The Americans and the West did not see this coming, that the Arab and Muslim states are now not pushovers and can fight back. The Arab and Muslim states would only grow stronger by the day, and with China and Russia fully behind them, to provide them with real weapons, superior weapons they need to fight and win a war against the Americans and Israelis. 

No longer would they be forced to buy substandard or downgraded weapons from the Americans and the West to fight a losing war against the Americans and Israel. They will have the best weapons, real weapons, to fight and win. The Arab and Muslim leaders are not stupid to want to continue to be bullied and duped by the Americans and the West into buying weapons that are inferior, and aircraft that can be switched off in midair. No more humiliating 6 Day War, Yom Kippur etc etc. The next Arab and Muslim war against the Americans and Israelis would be fought fairly with real weapons and not toy guns that the Americans sold to them.

Pakistan, Iran and the Houthis have proven that they can win wars against the Americans, Israelis and the West. They are not to be taken for granted.

Trump is merciless against India and Japan

India folds under tariff negotiations with the USA, no matter how Trump wants to sell his snake oil and Modi wants to rub those snake oil on his body. Now India has to buy more Boeing planes and rice from the USA. India is already the world's second biggest grower of rice and is exporting rice itself. What is in it for Indian rice farmers? Waiting for death is the probable consequence.

The USA agricultural sector is dying right before our eyes and Trump is using those tariff negotiations to force other countries to buy more of USA beef, wheat, rice, soya beans and corn. These are all genetically modified food crops that the EU tried to avoid and is now being dumped into countries like India and Japan.

Japan too folded as expected, as Japan has to depend on the USA market for its motor vehicle exports, with tariffs set at 15% on Japanese vehicles entering the USA market. Japan now has to open up its rice market to the USA, to help the USA agricultural sector now entering a death spiral. Even though PM Shigeru Ishiba claims no quarters have been given, but that must be a joke with 15% tariffs on its cars and being forced to open up its rice market, Japan is in deep trouble.

Now, look at Bong Bong getting a 19% tariff deal from an earlier 20% and thinks he has done the Philippine proud. That wimp has no cards to play going to Washington, just merely to wag his tail. Should have asked Trump whether he can get his hands on his father's ill-gotten wealth now, LOL. More tail wagging might do the trick.

In other words, being allies of the USA carries no advantage when it comes to getting the wrong end of the stick.

Philippines becoming more like India, bragging about everything but unable to do anything

So many countries are now talking about their rare earth resources and how it will change the global landscape. The Philippines is currently the talk of the town with its discovery of rare earth resources inside the country. China must be rattled, right? Truth be told, rare earth raw materials are plentiful, not at all rare. What is really rare is the processing logistics needed to make them into useful elements. And who has the world's largest processing logistics for all rare earth elements? China of course and no escaping from it.

It is fruitless to talk of how much rare earth raw materials a country has under its feet when there has to be a need to build up the mining and processing logistics that will take decades to come to fruition. Even the USA needs China to do the refining for its rare earth raw materials, so what is the hullaballoo all about? All that talk about mining rare earth under the sea, on the moon and on Mars are just delusional science fiction. With rare earth in abundance in Australia, Vietnam, Mongolia among others, why go to such extreme to mine them and at what costs? Who in the end is going to refine them, which against points to China. Let us not be delusional and swallow all the propaganda that solves nothing. It all boils down to doing it from start to finish to be effective, which no country has the logistical capacity to undertake. Keep the rare earth dream going.

Inviting the American terrorists home is easy. Getting them out it NOT

This clearly shows the price that South Korea had to pay for the aid the USA extended to them to fight the North. Inviting the devil into the house is easy, getting rid of it is impossible. The devil is always looking at opportunities to get into the house on the pretext of giving help. But will refuse to leave when the job is done. South Korea is stuck with the devil in the house.

In contrast, China also helped the North Koreans to fight off the South Koreans helped by the USA. But China did not use that as an excuse to exert control over North Korea or station troops in North Korea. Similarly, China and Russia gave massive help to the North Vietnamese fighting the South Vietnamese with help from the USA and the South Koreans. Again, China did not seek to control the North Vietnamese despite all the help. This is what help means by not having to sell out the whole country. The USA would want total control of Vietnam had the war turned out differently.

Now, many countries in South Asia are wising up, preferring to ally with China rather than India. India has the mentality of the USA, expecting to exert control over any help extended to neighbors. That is why Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Nepal are more comfortable with China than India.

And the West is still trying to sell the snake oil that China is trying to expand its control over neighbors when the reverse is true.

Singapore picking a fight with China?

 Lawrence Wong led a big delegation to Beijing, spent several days there meeting up with many Chinese leaders in an effort to mend relations. The recent finger pointing at China, insinuating China hacking into Singapore's infrastructure and sensitive systems is like going back to square one. China is furious and objected to the allegations. Singapore would not do the same to the Americans or any western countries, as if the West are so innocent from hacking into Singapore.

Singapore's relations with China have not been well from the beginning. Being a British colony, it shared the colonial master's mindset and policies of anti China and anti Communism. For many years, Singaporeans were banned from visiting China at a time when many Chinese were not citizens and China was their motherland. They were Chinese citizens.

Singapore's policy towards China was largely dictated by the pro western colonial trained Anglophiles. This group was very grateful for the opportunities given to them under British rule, as British subjects, not even qualified to be citizens. They forgot that the Brits and the West invaded and looted the motherlands of their forefathers, impoverised their motherlands, and forcing them to migrate here as coolies to earn a living under very harsh conditions. If their motherlands were not invaded and destroyed by the Brits and the West, their forefathers needed not become so poor and had to eke out a living in foreign soil. The crumbs thrown at them from the Brits were loots stolen from the motherlands of their forefathers and from the island of Singapore and Malaya. What was a few dollars to a few individuals compared to the robbing of the wealth of countries? In a way, the Anglophiles were grateful to the murderers and robbers of their forefathers' motherlands.

Till today, many of the western educated Anglophiles still feel inferior to the white men and unconsciously accepted their right to rule Singapore and the world. On the other side of the political divide is the Chinese educated and some western educated elites that know their history and still proud of their culture and dignity, and believe they can be as good as the white men and can rule themselves in Singapore.

The PAP pioneer leaders were a mixed of these two groups of elites. Some of them, including Goh Keng Swee, Toh Chin Chye and LKY were English educated but felt strongly that they were able to govern Singapore without the Brits. They fought to remove the shackles of the British colonial yoke. Though their foreign policies were pro West, at a time when the West was ruling the world and writing all the rules, with the passage of time, they gravitated towards a more independent path, but still stuck under the influence of the western world.

LKY was the one that finally broke free, identifying himself more as an ethnic Chinese elite, though strongly a Singaporean. He made many trips to China to understand China, built up a special relationship with all the Chinese leaders, and invested heavily in China, contributing in no small ways to the successful new China today. Under his watch, Singapore stuck to a strong neutral position in the rivalry between USA and China. Singapore did not yield under the strong influence and coercion of the Americans to take an anti China position. In his final years, LKY was often seen proudly donning his Chinese mandarin attire, something he was proud of, without having to say a word about it. Maybe he was trying to set a new trend, that Chinese fashion is cool.

With LKY out of the scene, the struggle between the pro American and the pro China camps surfaced. You can see how they grinned from ears to ears in front of the white men, would even kiss their asses if no one is watching. The pro China camp was much weaker and could only stayed in the background, pushing quietly for a more balanced relationship with China.

Is the fight to be more pro American against a more balanced relationship with China starting to surface between the two camps? Is this the beginning of more China bashing again, to please the Americans. What is Singapore going to gain to provoke China, like what can Singapore gain in sanctioning Russia? 

Singapore is already in the bad book of the Russians. Can Singapore afford to be in the bad book of China as well? Poking at China unnecessarily to please the Americans would have consequences. China is standing up to the bullying of the Americans and the Europeans with greater confidence and resolve. Singapore would be sent flying out of the ring should China turn around and throw a punch. Singapore should avoid being another irritating Mickey Mouse in the rivalry between the Americans and China.

Lawrence Wong is going to have a tough time if China bashing is to rule the day. He is still new and who is in which camp is still not very obvious as many would choose to hide their affinities and remain ambiguous, watching the change of wind.  Hsien Loong would play the critical role in this tussle to decide which way the wind should blow. The first salvo has been fired.

Trade negotiation with the rogue regime comes with another clause...cannot trade with China and Russia. Still want to be invited to China?

USA consumers will be facing the moment of truth come August onwards. This cannot be avoided with all the tariffs hitting by August 1 deadline. China has already reduced its exports to the USA, so that takes away what is going to be available on the shelves of retailers in the USA. Trump in fact warned China not to export less to the USA in the face of those tariffs. Now, isn't it ridiculous that on the one hand Trump wants to target China's exporters, and on the other hand is wary of the consequences. What is Trump really be looking for? Free lunch?

The USA is now even trying to force China not to buy Russian and Iranian oil, with Scott Bessent threatening China openly. Trump's administration is even trying to start a new front by threatening countries, particularly the G7 and EU from doing business with China. This is the new 'Rules Base Order' edit from the celestial emperor for the humanoids in G7 and EU to follow. It must be taken as a joke.

Time for China to set up its own 'Rules Based Order' to counter the USA. A good start of that order would be - Rule #1 No Export of rare earth to any country friendly to the USA. Rule #2 Cutting off all negotiation on trade and tariffs with the USA. Rule #3 Decouple completely from the USA and stop all the nonsense. No trade with each other means no trade and tariff issues to wrangle about. Clean, fast and efficiently resolving trade and tariff problems. But, of course, the USA will invent new issues to collapse China.

The Americans could only fight and win against Red Indians with bows and arrows

 Frankly please lah the UAss only involved and fight Japan only when they are been attacked by the Japs.

That's the tactics hiding in their Grandma's long jeans and panties and bluffed bluffed act as Heros when all are over and most of the Warring Parties already half dead and "tang shiong " aka Deadly bruised and destroyed.

Even without the A Bombs that they dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki you think the Japs will surrender ah?

Maybe also not defeat the Japs.

Americunts tactics are to use foolish proxies to kill one another and then went in and and claimed victories.

Even in Real Wars, they shall use their carpets bombings until the enemies "hay hay" half dead then they go in and do some mopping up operations.

Same claimed victories. Cannot fight one.

If can, how come lost to Vietnam and Afghanistan?

They think can fight China ah!

Fat hope! Must be tired of livings with too much debts and chaos.

This Dotard would take this Best Opportunity to go to China and swagger here and there.

Back then he shall yak all sorts of nonsense again for their MidTerm Erections.

All kueh dah dah liao.

Dysfunctional !

Sun Tzu - Know your enemy, know yourself, hundred battles fought, hundred battles won. Mickey Mouse cannot understand this

 This strategy of Sun Tzu is often quoted by military strategists today. Knowing one's strength and weaknesses versus the enemies is crucial to fight and win a war. Theoretically, every decent and well trained military leaders can understand this principle and would not head into a war without such considerations. In reality, many military leaders and political leaders are not that decent or well read, ie, not very smart to the point of reckless and irresponsible. 

Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and all the clowns in Washington fall into this category of not very bright. Ok, excuse Biden, he did not know what was going on and all the decisions were made for him by Blinken. The basis of Sun Tzu's strategy is very simple. If one is weak relative to the enemy, and there is no way of winning, it is better not to start a fight. However, looking around, how many clowns have ignored this strategy and went head in into a war against an enemy that they knew was way superior to them and could bash them to pieces?

Ukraine is a good example. There is not a whisker of a hope that Ukraine can come up the winner against the Russians. Caveat, the stupid Neo Nazi Ukrainian soldiers were not calling the shot. Or they believe that with the Americans and NATO behind them, they could defeat Russia. They can be excused for their ignorance and stupidity, but not the Americans, not the military leaders. They know very well that Russia would use nuclear weapons in the face of defeat. But the political clowns like Victoria Nuland was calling the shot from Europe. Now Ukraine is paying a very heavy price for it.  Oops, Nuland was just using the Ukrainians to weaken Russia, let the Ukrainians die, never mind.

But this is not the end. Europe is a region full of political clowns in every capital city, from London to Berlin, from Paris to Warsaw. They all think they can fight a war and win against Russia. They did not have the mental ability to think further than this. What's next if Russia is to lose a conventional war?

If the 'has been' European colonial powers can be that simplistic in their thinkings, one cannot blame the Mickey Mouse to think and behave like them. Did Mickey Marcos think like the European clowns? A better question, can he think, or did he bother to think? Or he is living by the day. Tomorrow is tomorrow's problem. Even Mickey Mouse New Zealand is joining the party. New Zealand is ramping up its military budget from 1% to 2% to counter their delusion of a China threat. They could not think further as usual. Even if New Zealand were to spend 100% of its GDP for defence, it is still meaningless.

Then there is Mickey Lai in Taiwan. He is buying more mines, more rifles, more antique second hand war planes from the Americans to take on China. He did not mind paying upfront without a delivery date for the weapons. The Americans know that there will be no need for the weapons, so no need to make delivery. Just collect the money upfront from this clown to make him happy. Not in his wildest wet dream is Taiwan going to be independent and to defeat China. Neither would he need to use the irrelevant and meaningless weapons he paid for.

Clowns are clowns. Mickey Mouse is no different from the clowns. How could they be able to understand Sun Tzu's military strategies?

The Great Wall of India

 China is famous for building the Great Wall of China over centuries, to ward off invading barbarians from the north. Trump is also building a Great Wall of America to ward off illegal immigrants from Mexico and South America. Trump is also building another tariff wall to fend off America from trading with the rest of the world.

A Great Wall of India is now being built, not by India, but by China around India, to keep India away from its neighbours. India used to boast about how many enemies China had with its neighbours and how many friends India had with its neighbours. Within the last ten years, India's 'friendly' neighbours have turned away from India and joined the embrace of China for protection and economic development.

Thanks to the aggressive and bullying tactics of India, and the rising military and economic clout of China, India's neighbours have found a China that can protect them from India and bring about more trade and economic development for their countries. The latest development, China, Pakistan and Bangladesh have formed a strategic alliance around India, to contain India. This alliance is likely to increase in numbers with Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Maldives as potential members. India would only be left with the canary in the cage, Bhutan, under its control, not allowed to have diplomatic relations with other countries. Even Bhutan has seen through the intimidating and dominating behaviours of the Indians and is trying to break free, to become a free sovereign state, with its own independent foreign policies.

Should Bhutan break free from India's vice grip, India would be left standing alone, without a friend among its neighbours. China would have effectively built a Great Wall of India around India, to keep it from bullying its neighbours.

India is not only losing friends in its immediate neighbourhood. Its policies of being friends and enemies of both side of the internal great power rivalry have led to mistrust of India by its friends and foes. Russia is not going to trust India anymore. Iran too would not trust India after being stabbed in the back in the recent war with Israel when India sided with Israel. The Americans and the West never trusted India and only think of using India as a pawn against China and Russia. India has to beg to be invited to the G7 meeting when it was originally left out from the invitation list. This showed where India is standing in the G7 club.

While China is building a Great Wall of India, India is also helping to build the same wall by antagonizing all its friends of convenience thinking that it can get away with playing both sides to its advantage while betraying them behind their backs. No one trust India anymore.

The American terrorists cannot lie, cheat, steal and kill against a strong China supported by the rest of the world

Just an exercise in futility even if they do meet. The mindset of going all out against China is all cast in stone in the USA playbook, whether be it under the Republicans or Democrats. It is inside the DNA of the Anglo-Saxo Whites to keep the Whites as the superior race over all others. And keeping the US$ and USA hegemonic reign is all that matters. And China is the one country left that is capable of overturning all that.

The USA can never tolerate any country rising to compete against it. Not the Japanese. Not the Germans. Not the Soviet Union. And certainly not the Chinese. Can we expect the leopard to change its spots to become another animal?

Taking down Japan and Germany were easy, as they do not have the critical mass of a market and population to carry on a battle against the mighty USA. Denial of the USA market was alone enough to snuff them out and they had to eat humble pie when stepped upon. The Soviet Union did not have the economic muscle to sustain a headlong military capacity to take on the USA. Moreover, Soviet Union was not on very good terms with China at that time. The Soviet Union had to close shop, with its satellite states breaking up to go their separate ways, leaving the Russian Federation to run the country.

Now, China is no piece of cake that the USA can take at will. China has the economic muscle, the military capacity, the population critical mass, the massive domestic market, the hunger of the people to move forward for a better life and the Chinese citizen's capacity for hard work to overcome difficult circumstances for a better future. This all work well to fulfil the dreams of Chinese leaders to move the country forward, all working in tandem.

China must never be in a position to sacrifice what it has achieved by being involved in any too good to be true agreement that may come back to destroy its future. The USA and the West are discreetly trying to set China up for dismantling like the Soviet Union. They have tried that in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.

China values STEM graduates, America values financial conmen and cheats and unproductive lawyers

Chinese leaders think differently from Western leaders. They are all encompassing in their strategy, which is how they managed to control so much of the raw materials in South American and African countries, the global market for its products and what is necessary to keep China ahead in terms of an educated workforce.
China did not just start out to control the flow of raw materials like rare earth to China. China had also to build up its industrial base to cater to them and over the decades this is exactly what happened. Now, more than that, China had to change its education system to produce more scientists and engineers to helm those industries.

While the World's University Rankings were all preoccupied with citing just research papers written in English, while ignoring those written in Chinese, by Chinese researchers and academics in top Chinese Universities, it has now been discovered that there was a treasure trove of high valued papers that have gone under the radar in compiling the ranking of top universities, especially in science and engineering. This became apparent when China started dominating in high-speed-rails, EVs, batteries, infrastructure building like bridges and dams and shipbuilding. How could China be doing all that without having a closer look at all the research papers that they were publishing in Chinese that have long been ignored by the West. But it is too little too late to stop the horses from bolting after letting the stable doors open for China to step into the competition.

The USA is now trying to correct its mistake of taking its eyes off China and concentrating on forever wars and fighting terrorism. Thirty years of much ado about nothing allowed China the time factor to catch up in many sectors. Now, in terms of patents filed, China is way ahead of the USA in many sectors. The USA is trying to scrap the bottom of the barrel for raw materials that had long been cornered by China in South America and Africa. China has set up a manufacturing and industrial chain that not even the USA can ever manage to catch up and now using overcapacity against China to cripple it. China had already set up an education system well-tailored for its continuity as factory of the world. How long will it take Trump to bring all these to fruition to counter China? China has even cornered the market in the Global South that the USA and EU has no way of competing against.

South Korea and Japan are enjoying being the colonies of USA

 South Koreans are being brainwashed and already brains dead by the Americunts that the North is going to invade and slaughter them by Kim.

As a bogeyman to divide them so they could manipulate and skinned both of them.

Past ex their Presidents who are on good terms with the North are either deposed of or assassinated.

Own kins and relatives don't want to be reunited and manipulated by the White Barbarians and Savages Americunts.

As for Japan, they are harbouring a secret revenge that hopefully some one big powerful country can topple the UAssA and they be joining in the revenge to kick the Americunts when they are down and out.

Meantime they have to pretend that they are on the UAss side

They do not want their women folks to be screwed by the Barbarians Americunts too much paranormal porn videos.

Prof Jeffrey Sach in one Summit had said that Japan, South Korea and China should actually be joined as the Asia Alliance and what's a powerful force they would be.

Discard UAssA you all no need the UAssA.

The Americunts would be KAPUT.

Jokingly he said but this shall affect me.

They should follow Sach's advice.
