Trump coming down hard of mass entry of Indian workers into the USA

BENGALURU: The Trump administration on Thursday (Oct 8) suspended eight major technology companies from a key United States programme that allows employers to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency, citing alleged abuse of the immigration system.

The companies include four Indian IT giants - Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys, Wipro and HCLTech - as well as Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant and Capgemini.

US Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling said authorities would stop accepting new applications and processing pending ones under the Permanent Labor Certification (PERM) programme.

Under PERM, employers must first demonstrate that qualified American workers are unavailable for the jobs, according to the US Department of Labor....

Ghosh said Singapore and the United Arab Emirates could attract some experienced Indian professionals, but their tech job markets were “considerably smaller” than India's.

Mallick said that Singapore could attract experienced Indian professionals in AI, fintech and tech leadership, while Malaysia could benefit from talent in cloud, cybersecurity and engineering. CNA

The woes of America will be the gains for Singapore and countries hungry for Indian talents. And all of them must be rubbing their palms in anticipation of a big wave of Indian talents flowing into their countries to help raise the number and quality of IT in their countries. Singapore has benefitted greatly from the large number of Indian IT talents in every corner of the island. This push by the Americans can only mean that Singapore will be the biggest beneficiary of the exodus. 

Singapore can now pose as the next IT and AI hub after China and the USA, with the best Indian talents flooding here to nest. This is the advantage of having far sighted leaders that planned ahead, and knowing how to benefit from Indian IT talents. More Indian IT companies are likely to pop up in the island to create more jobs for Singaporeans. It is a win win situation...and there will be another housing boom for sure. Quick, start to buy up units in the East Coast area, and also around Chennai Business Park, oops, Changi Business Park. The American terrorists cannot put up another report to allege civil servants taking advantage of privy information to buy into properties in Indian talents' favourite housing estates. Prices of properties in these areas are going up.

Singapore's future in AI and IT is very bright.

Thinking that Chinese are stupid is a real blessing in disguise for China

 The thinking that the Chinese are stupid must be a real blessing in disguise for the Chinese to progress on the quiet over the last four decades. It kept the Anglo-Saxon Whites away from interfering in China's industrial revolution, thinking the stupid Chinese can never do anything more than cooking and washing clothes.

This was the exact call made by Deng Xiaoping to the Chinese to 'keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big'. China did exactly that and caught the West by surprise after four decades of relative obscurity away from prying eyes. The USA was not even in the mood to spy on Chinese leaders like what they did to the German and French leaders. Why need to spy on unprogressive Chinese leaders like Mao Tse Tung creating failing policies to decimate China with his Great Leap Forward policies? The USA and the West thought that all Chinese leaders are the same, only going to bring disaster to China internally. Well, they never saw what was going on under the radar.

Now, the stupid Chinese are dominating in areas that were previously the domain of the Anglo-Saxon Whites and the Japanese. As I always say, who laughs last laughs best. Keep that in mind of more to come from China.

The more foreigners visit China, the less likely for American propaganda to work

 With people like Redbean visiting China regularly and updating us about China's progress, that is one way that China is leveraging on to counter the USA/s propaganda machine for free. I do not think Redbean is being paid by the CPC to generate propaganda for the Chinese Government, lol.

The more foreign visitors go to China to see the real China, the less the USA propaganda machine is going to reap its intended reward by brainwashing its citizens and others about China. Would you believe that foreign visitors are being paid by the CPC just to say the good things about China? This kind of warp mentality only exists in the USA and the West, and they think that the same modus operandi must also be applied to China.

Xi's move to invite more USA students to study in China is a further step to educate the brainwashed USA citizen's warp thinking regarding China after decades of propagandizing assault. The older USA citizens are difficult to be weaned away from their mistaken mindsets, with most probably lowly educated. Younger USA citizens, being better educated and less indoctrinated are more likely to accept reality rather than swallowing propaganda lock, stock and barrel.

This invitation by Xi has touched a raw nerve in the USA Government and Western MSM. It is to be expected. I fear that citing National Security Issues will put paid to USA students going to China in waves. In fact, there were earlier calls to prevent USA citizens from visiting China. What are they afraid of? Getting brainwashed just travelling around China for a couple of weeks?

Mogao Caves, the standing monuments of ancient Chinese culture and artwork, in Dunhuang

Several foreign explorers and archaeologists removed massive hoards of ancient manuscripts and sacred art from the Mogao Caves (specifically the hidden "Library Cave," or Cave 17) in Dunhuang, China, during the early 20th century. 

While the chamber was originally discovered by a local Daoist monk named Wang Yuanlu in 1900, the key figure widely accused by China of "raiding" or looting the site is Sir Marc Aurel Stein. He was quickly followed by a succession of other international figures.  Wikipedia

One of the main items in this visit to China was to visit the Mogao Caves to see the extraordinary and splendid works of Buddhist arts created thousands of years, hidden in the more than 700 caves of Mogao in Dunhuang. The European explorers or thieves, led by Marc Stein, systematically looted the caves, cut and carted thousands of paintings, books and sculptures to Europe, now exhibited proudly in the museums of thieves. They will have to return them to China one day. But the damages had been done and many exquisite art works were damaged, some broken and destroyed, some lost. 

Below are some pics of a live show in Dunhuang, narrating the pains of the Chinese people during a time of weakness and could not stop the European thieves from stealing their national treasures from their land. The artworks were a sign of the advancement in Chinese culture, science and technology thousands of years ago, when the Chinese were using colours, textiles, embroidery, musical instruments, paper etc etc in a time when life was rich and vibrant, peaceful, trade prospered, while the European savages were still killing each other in their savage wars.

Mogao Caves. Behind every door is a cave housing exquisite ancient artworks over thousands of years old. Many looted, destroyed. Still many are still there, the caves can be 20m x 20m x 30m big. More than 700 of them, mainly in the eastern site called Caves of thousand Buddhas. On the western site, 22 caves were untouched and survived the looting. There  were many sculptures of Buddha, Mateiya, Guanyin, Ananda and Boddhistvas.

Wall paintings in the Mogao Caves

More paintings. Unfortunately no photography allowed inside the caves. There were from pictures available.

Dancers of a live show in Dunhuang portraying the beautiful sculptures of female sculptures that were stolen from the caves.

Every dancer represented a beautiful sculpture stolen from the caves and carted to Europe.

More dancers/sculptures

More.... All the stolen items are now claimed as the worthy possession of the Europeans, kept proudly in their museums of thieves. China will demand for their return one day when it is strong enough to do so. The European savages were just low down thieves. They looted, plundered and stole everything in their days of colonisation and imperialism.

America failed in 5G wants to leapfrog to 6G

 They could not even do a good job with 5G and wants to leapfrog to 6G? Dismantling those Huawei relaying stations and installing new relay stations already costs so much money and disruptions, that they are almost giving up on 5G and going to 6G.

Huawei holds the bulk of the patents for 5G, and I believe it is still collecting some form of licensing fees from other 5G operators. Huawei may not be allowed to operate in the USA and some other countries like the UK, but Huawei is still collecting patent rights from those operators using Huawei's 5G patents.

China already has a headstart in 6G and probably has registered the bulk of 6G patents.

The real reason the USA keeps Huawei's 5G system out is nothing more than its inability to control Huawei's technology for spying, both on Allies and China in particular. China is not going to use Hauwei's 5G to conduct espionage against China and other countries. 4G is totally redundant in China, so the inability to conduct espionage against China is a National Security Issue for the USA.

Anything that the USA cannot control is a National Security Issue. As I said earlier, the USA is now attempting to remove DeepSeek adoption and usage by civilians, a preview to a total ban later. This is expected, as USA AI giants are unable to compete with DeepSeek in low usage costs after investing an arm and a leg in AI and needs protection. Is this the way to nurture a competitive sector going forward? It is going to produce an uncompetitive environment going forward - a self-destruct move.
