Who is the bigger beneficiary in the Singapore American partnership equation?

 AUSTIN The United States is calling in a favour from friends like Singapore as President Donald Trump tries to rebalance the American economy and restore “fairness” to the international trading system.

Mr Trump’s ambassador to Singapore, Dr Anjani Kumar Sinha, offered that explanation when asked how the US President’s 10 per cent baseline tariff on the Republic – in spite of a free trade agreement since 2004 – aligns with the broader goals of the US-Singapore relationship. CNA

Ooh lala, the Americans sent a white Indian to take care of its interests in Singapore and the region. This guy was made to look like a dumb ass during a grilling by the senators. His face was a complete bland when asked about ASEAN. And the first thing this white Indian said is, pay up. This statement made many Singaporeans boiled immediately. The Americans are coming to extort dividends as if Singapore owes a lot to the Americans for its security and prosperity. Haven't the Americans collected enough protection money from Singapore, paying exorbitantly for American toys, including trade surpluses and friendly advice not to do this or that, cannot do this or that?

The big question to ask, who is the bigger beneficiary in the Singapore America relationship? Only Singapore benefiting and not the Americans? The Americans better open their eyes wide, wide and see who is their real and reliable friend in the region, who they can depend on, who is offering them military facilities to threaten and rule the region. The Americans have no friend in Asean other than ball carriers hoping to get some kickbacks and gratis from the Americans. Singapore is not just a friend but a trusty and reliable partner. Without Singapore, the Americans would have long been kicked out of the region. Don't forget, three of ASEAN's most important members, including the biggest and most influential member, are Muslim states, the perpetual enemies of the Americans by culture, race and religion.

Oh, the Americans have Marcos Jr to give them everything, including military bases. Sure, for now, for a while. This is only temporary until the next regime change. The Americans were booted out of the Philippines by the nationalists before. They cannot count on the temperamental Pinoys. 

The Americans should be paying Singapore for the privilege to have a foothold here. And Singapore is paying a very high price for doing it, offending the Muslim states and Singapore's biggest trading partner, China. Any misstep by Singapore would see China breathing down heavily on Singapore. This risk is priceless. The Washington clowns and this new Ambassador are too daft to appreciate how important Singapore is to the American Empire...and thinking of squeezing more dividends from Singapore. Why don't the Americans walk out of Singapore and see what happens?

Singapore should let the Americans know that they should not take Singapore's friendship for granted, and wanting to coerce Singapore like pawns in their geopolitical game. Would the Americans want to leave Singapore should Singapore refuse to pay the additional dividends or not going to toe the line?

The Americans need Singapore more or Singapore needs America more? Singapore now has options. The Americans have no option. Singapore does not need to be coerced repeatedly by the Americans to do silly things against its national interests. Singapore can say NO to the Americans. Without Singapore, the American Empire will have a gaping hole in the region that cannot be covered up.

PS. This dumbass has the same mindset as India, that Singapore owes India a living. Singapore must throw money into India. Singapore must provide employments to Indians instead of to Singaporeans. Singapore will collapse without fake talents from India. Singapore must send Singapore dollars to India to earn Indian rupees.

Japan is as fake as the USA

 Blogger has deleted the above article. I am protesting and demanding Blogger to explain why.

My guess, the complainant is likely a Jap.

Or could it be some regular of this blog? If so, please explain what is wrong with this article?

The rogue American regime closed down the airspace over Venezuela

 

16 min of China's policy for peace in the world that the rogue American regime and the European savages try to ignore and demonise.  China is for peace, NOT war. It is the white savages that are starting wars everywhere, fighting unending wars for world domination and profits. Only the fools, the blind and brain dead cannot see this, refuse to see this...and parroting the white savages to attack China.

The cocky brain dead pro western Anglophiles are worried about China taking back Taiwan, about peace, but they would not care what the rogue American regime is doing to Venezuela. Aircraft carriers, warships and warplanes, and more than 10,000 soldiers lying outside the shores of Venezuela, posing for an invasion using the silly excuse of fighting drug trafficking. Not a single western media or American crony media condemns this as aggression, an act of war, unacceptable primitive behaviour in this modern civilised world. If China were to do the same to Taiwan, even the monkeys will be jumping high and low, see China so aggressive, want to invade Taiwan, destabilising the region. 

The rogue American regime can do anything, commit all kinds of aggressive acts, crimes against humanity, genocide, wars etc etc, the brain dead pro western Anglophiles would look the other way. See nothing, hear nothing, know nothing and would do nothing, like the 4 monkeys.

China should close down the airspace over Taiwan to force a peaceful reunification with the motherland. This is not an act of war, not an invasion of a foreign country. Taiwan is part of China, a breakaway province. Then watch how the western media and the crony media start an uproar to attack China in every page of their main media, everyday. China is so aggressive for doing the same as what the rogue American regime is doing in the Caribbean, ... except that China is trying to reunify a part of its territory, not to invade another country.

The rogue Americans have shown China how to reunify with Taiwan. China should just follow the leader and see the monkeys scratching their heads, how now? Never condemn America, how to condemn China?

McMahon Line - The ugly and unreasonable Indian mindset 野蛮心态

 A young English clerk in London drew a few lines on a map, this is China, this is the British Empire. A few other clerks took out their pencils and rulers, and drew on the maps of Africa and the Middle East to define their national borders. This was the days of the British ruling the world. They cut up countries to their likings, with no respect to the rights of any country. They were the Empire that ruled the world, set the rules, who owns what and where. The colonies had no say. The British decided what is right and wrong.

When McMahon drew the lines, cutting South Tibet from China as part of the British Empire, China protested, China never agreed to it till today. It was Chinese territory, not for the British Empire to decide, not for a young clerk in London to decide. Take this case to any international court, to the UN for a legal interpretation. No reasonable man or reasonable judge today or even in the days of the British Empire, would rule that this is legitimate.

When the British gave up their Empire, letting colonies to go independent, the newly independent India conveniently wanted to take over whatever that belonged to the British Empire, including South Tibet that belonged to China but seized by the Brits. India is not the British Empire. Whatever land the Brits stolen from their colonies were and should rightfully returned to their rightful owners. Lands in Africa, the Middle East, SE Asia and the rest of the world were returned, and many with enforced boundaries dictated by the Brits but not acceptable to their original owners.

India got their lands back, but wanted more, including lands the Brits took from China. The Indians audaciously claimed the Chinese land as theirs, using the lines draw by the British clerk McMahon. Is this reasonable, legally acceptable, legitimate? The Indians did not care. It is like money in their pockets, regardless of how it got in there, once inside India's pocket, do not expect the Indians to cough it out. When they realised that their argument basing on McMahon lines were unacceptable, unreasonable, they turned around and said, China has so much land, why can't China let the Indians have the land? This is the Indian psyche. 野蛮心态.

Actually, China wanted to give the land to India, but on China's term. It must first be returned and then be given by China voluntarily. China would not allow the land to be seized by any country and taken from them against their will. But the Indians refused to accept the offer by then PM Zhou Enlai.

The border dispute will not be settled as long as India sticks to its ugly and unreasonable position. China was even willing to compromise, to negotiate, maybe let India take a certain part of the land. But arrogant India wants it all, not negotiable. Eventually the land would be settled by force, by war, if no wise Indian leader is prepared to face the historical truth. Chinese land stolen by the British does not automatically become Indian land. Period.

India can continue to be stubborn and unreasonable. Time is not on India's side. The world is watching how the Indian mind is at work. Just like all the foreign investments in India. Once money is invested in India, in Indian assets, they belong to India. Do not expect to get them back. The foreign investors would be the legal owners, India would be the de facto owner if not even the real owner given time. Only suckers would keep pouring money into India and think it is safe.  So many foreign investors have been cheated by the Indians, robbed by the Indians. Some robbed of everything, including their pants, but pretending all is fine. As long as they are happy to leave their money and assets in India and let the Indians do as they like, everything superficially is fine. Just see what will happen when they want their money and assets back. Then they will know who is the real owner. Money inside India's pocket will become India's money even if they don't belong to India.

America can continue to bully its allies and cronies

When obstacles are erected by the USA and its allies, China finds alternatives. When obstacles are erected by the Chinese, the USA used proxies, sanctioning, gangsterism and blaming to counter China, not positively looking for alternatives itself. That says all about the differences between the USA and China in solving problems.

And that is the reason why Henry Kissinger told the world that being a friend of the USA is fatal. Allies and friends of the USA will just be roped in by coercion and used as cannon folder, like Ukraine, Japan and Philippines. The USA tasted the casualty losses in Korea and Vietnam and is now using others to fight for its interest instead.

Why did South Korea and India sabotaged China by reselling rare earth magnets to the USA and its military allies, thereby suffering the consequences themselves. Japan is being used by the USA to erect sanctions against Chinese companies and is suffering the consequences. Now, Japan is demanding hundreds of tons of rare earth magnets from China, thinking the Chinese are foolish enough to comply. Trump is also demanding that China must buy USA chips which China does not even want now. USA can demand what it wants from its doggies, but not China or Russia or even Iran or North Korea.

As during the war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during WW2, the USA gloated about not suffering many casualties, when the Soviet Union lost more than 20 to 40 million, doing the heavy lifting of overcoming Hitler but denied all the merit. How many Ukrainians are now dying for the USA and its NATO allies? A victory for Ukraine is a victory to be celebrated by the USA and NATO, not the Ukrainians.
