The world's two least corrupt countries

 Singapore has been the envy of the world for being a corrupt free country, or nearly there. Singapore has its little warts now and then, but the system will not tolerate corruption in principle. In the past and recent past, even political leaders had been caught and dealt with severely by the law, with no exceptions. The squeaky clean Singapore govt wears this as a badge of honour and pride, strutting around the world and deserving it. Don't mess around in Singapore. 

But Singapore can only call itself as number two, not number one, in being a corruption free country. The top honour, the country that is corruption free, is the USA. I will explain this later. Because of this exceptional quality, American Exceptionalism, the Americans were so arrogant and aloof when condemning China of corruption. China tries very hard to keep corruption under control with very strict and draconian laws. But this did not save them from being abused and insulted by the corruption free Americans. The hillbillies and rednecks really believe America is corruption free. Every time a corrupt official is caught and sentenced to death or life imprisonment, the Americans will blow their trumpet to tell the world how corrupt is China. China knows that corruption is a trait that affects all human beans and will take time to eradicate, may not be able to do so completely. But China will keep on pursuing the corrupt officials relentlessly to minimise this plague. Every little trick of the corrupt officials are now known to the Chinese anti corruption bureau.

America is in a happier position, a country without corruption, corruption free. I am serious. This is not a joke. In America, the senators and congressmen and women are not corrupt. But they continue to receive funds or corrupt money through a process call lobby. Anyone, individual, corporation, country, can donate money to American politicians, all the way to the President of the USA, legally. There is no shame or crime when receiving donation funds through the concept or practice of lobbying. Lobbying is legal, part of the American political system. As long as the Americans call it lobby money, not bribery, not corruption, then it is not a crime. It is not corruption. And the receivers of such donations can legally do the bidding of the donors. This is the best American practice that the world can learn and be corruption free.

The Americans can proudly stand on top of the hill, Capitol Hill not Calvary, and tell the whole world that America is a corruption free country. And this is legally correct, no bluff. The Americans are very good at playing with words and with what is legal or illegal. When they made lobbying legal, or call bribery as lobbying, heh, heh, heh, where got corruption? What is legal or legal is what the American said. like what or who is a terrorist and who is not, who is a warmonger, a mass murderer and who is not.

Today, this disease is so serious that practically every American politician from the POTUS downwards is taking money, oops lobbying for money openly, legally. Trump's Piss Board is a good example, asking for US$1b a piece, for his personal fund. No American will say it is illegal. Countries of the world can choose the Singapore or American system to be corruption free. They can be corruption free if they choose and believe in the corruption free American system and can quote that the Americans are doing it, so should be ok. If they choose the Singapore system, they can only be number two, second to America, but better than many countries in the world. 

The pride of Singapore is that corruption is very rare, like errors in the GIRO system. Nothing to worry about.

Trump says Iran capitulated and has surrendered!

WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Thursday (Apr 16) that Iran has agreed to hand over its store of enriched uranium and that the two sides were "close" to a peace deal to end the war that has engulfed the Middle East.

The United States had earlier threatened to resume airstrikes on the Islamic republic and maintain a naval blockade of its ports if Tehran refused to accept a deal to solve the conflict that broke out on Feb 28....

Trump has insisted that any deal with Iran must permanently bar the Islamic republic from acquiring a nuclear weapon.  CNA

Trump also insinuates that he is Jesus the saviour. Trump also says America is great again under his rogue regime. Where is the 'colonel' that Trump ordered to save from Iranian territory and already safely home in his arms?

The good thing happening in America is that everyone is taking Trump as a joke and no longer taking him seriously. Having a clown in the Oval Office is fun and delirious. The Americans are having as much fun as Trump himself, forgetting that Trump is digging a hole so huge to bury himself and his clowns and the whole of the evil Empire with him. 

All the American allies, especially those in Europe, have deserted Trump. They have a clearer view looking from outside the fishbowl than the Americans swimming in it. The American colonies, Japan and South Korea, are treading water to stay afloat but could be drowned any time, thanks to the great works of Trump in closing the Hormuz and choking the oil supply line. 50 days without new supply of oil is burning away whatever stockpiles they have.

Would Iran surrender now after taking thousands of hits from the American and the Israeli terrorists, suffering major damages to their infrastructure and thousands of victims? Would the Iranian surrender after wiping out all the American bases in the region, forcing the American ground troops into hiding and with no place safe enough not to be killed? Would the Iranians surrender after neutralising the American aircraft carrier groups, sending them fleeing for safety thousands of kilometres away? Would the Iranians surrender when the Americans are depleting their weapons, bombs and missiles and running out of supply? Caveat, the ceasefire has allowed the American and Israeli terrorists to restock and reposition American boys and girls in the destroyed American bases in the Middle East...for another round of bombing and killing Iranians and destroying the Arab and Muslim states.

The Iranians have already surrendered in the deluded dreams of Trump and his wild imagination in the early hours of morning when Trump cannot sleep.  The Iranians will be asking, when will lunatic Trump realise he has lost and surrender, leave the Middle East for good, never to come back again?

Trump just swung his limping dick at an Iranian flag cargo ship and thinks he is all powerful again, from a distance.

China fought wars when needed and is preparing to fight all kinds of wars

Every war must be deemed to include trade wars, tariff wars and technology wars. The hot wars have been fought with China providing the pivotal support to North Koea, North Vietnam and now Iran.

The benefits to China are real even though less mentioned, with North Korea remaining an ally to balance the threat from Japan and South Korea; Vietnam becoming a highly lucrative source for Chinese investments and trade and Iran providing the energy that China needs with China's support for its current war. The greatest benefit accruing to China must be the Iranians now selling its oil in Yuan, a currency that even India is using to pay for Iranian oil according to some reports. That truly helps in BRICS's de-dollarization agenda.

Honestly, these wars have made China stronger, more resilient and made the Chinese people much more patriotic than ever. Why should they not be thankful for having a standard of living that some in the West are envious of - like low cost of living and eradication of poverty. The transformation of China has been earth moving, while the failure of the democratic system creates more poverty despite the dubious claims trotted out by the USA's propaganda machine and its tributaries - the MSM.

Let us take the trade war, which forced China to diversify its import of agricultural products from many other countries. It was to wake up China to the folly of placing its National Security too much by relying on one particular country for its food products. That diversification has paid dividends for the Chinese and is now smooth sailing that would otherwise not have happened so abruptly.

The tariff war has again strengthened the Chines resolve to move more trade to the Global South countries and away from the USA. China had been preparing for this and is building more bridges with countries willing to work with China. After all, Trump has taken the whole world hostage with his tariffs and countries are trying to find ways to mitigate the blackmailing and the stigma of having to kiss Trump's ass.

More than ever, the technology war has turbo-charged China's move into being more self-sustaining in all matters relating to technology, such as chips, EVs, batteries, solar panels, wind turbines, weapons upgrading and most of all its education system. After all, China has all the rare earth elements to do it and is not held hostage by outside sources for this particular and most important material that others are constrained. Thanks to the USA move against Huawei that started this revolution, China is well on its way to be self-sustaining in most fields in the technology sector, which it would otherwise still be held hostage.

The real nuclear threat is not having the bomb, and from those sneaky bastards that already had the bombs pretending otherwise

Which country wants to de-nuclearize after attaining the perfect deterrence? It would be totally insane, after what the USA did to Japan during WW2.

It was a lesson that taught countries there is no reason not to aspire to have the bomb, at least for deterrence, even if not having them for offensive use. Iran wants that bomb too, so does Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have proclaimed, loud and clear, that if Iran gets its bomb it is going to follow.

Japan would honestly be aspiring for it, even though some people believe it already can have the bomb at the snap of a finger. Or just like Israel, Japan already has it but hidden in secrecy. Does that answer the question of why Japan has been antagonizing China by provocatively sailing a warship through the Taiwan Straits days ago? Or placing missiles on islands pointing at China? What was going on and hidden in the Fukushima Power Station before the disaster was never revealed. More so, when Japan refused to even allow foreign help during the Fukushima crisis cleanup. I smelled a rat.

China must always remember that the Japanese are its most dangerous enemy, never forgetting that the Japanese are the master of sneak attacks.

Every war the American terrorists started makes China stronger

 Without fail, every war the American terrorists started is a great reprieve for China, giving China time and peace to continue to grow its economy without interference. The American terrorists main objective is to stop China from growing stronger, richer, mightier than the Americans, and have been trying to bring down China everyday since the rise of China after its opening up. Every agenda, every move, every action by the American terrorists is aimed at attacking China. But the wars they started have contradictory results, benefitting China instead.

Some said Osama bin Laden helped and saved China. The Americans were then putting all its effort to bring down China at the most critical time when China was starting to rebuild its economy. The war on terrorism, 911, and Osama appeared at the right time to take away the attention of the American terrorists from China for 20 years. They went all out, in the name of counter terrorism, to attack the Arab and Muslim nations, with a plan to invade 7 Arab and Muslim nations in 5 year. Iraq, Syria, Libya, Lebanon. Sudan, Somalia and Iran. This had happened, all 6 had been attacked and turned into dysfunctional countries, and with Iran being attacked now. 

The good thing, with the American terrorists fully occupied and very busy attacking the Arab and Muslim countries, China was left alone to develop its industries, economy and relations with the rest of the world. BRICS, BRI, dedollarisation, alternative banking systems, trading systems, buying up strategic resources, gaining influence in regions that the Americans had neglected. With every war engaged by the American terrorists, China gets stronger. China is now not only economically stronger, but technologically stronger as well and with a defence industry that can produce anything the world needs, better and cheaper than the Americans and the West. The Americans just did not have the time and resources and talents to challenge China in all fields when they are bogged down in wars and killing frenzy.

China now controls rare earth and mineral resources, controls the East and South China Sea, the EV industries, the weapons and war machine industries, the trade routes through BRI. China is also working with BRICS to develop an alternate banking and finance industries and proceeding smoothly with dedollarisation as the primary objective. This will bankrupt the American economy and brings it to its knees, but clown Trump and his gangsters have their hands full, no time to counter China. China is now the main trading partners of almost every country in the world, with greater presence in all the 5 continents...without going to war with the Americans, without firing a shot, while the Americans are bankrupting themselves with wars and making themselves as enemies of the world.

China should thank all the clowns in Washington for pursuing all the wrong priorities thinking that they could make America great again and continue to be the evil Empire. The war against the Iranians may be the last war that will end the evil American Empire and establishes China as the new superpower in the world, and bring about a new world order of peace and prosperity for the world, minus the American terrorists.
