The Truth about China's Great Leap Forward the USA and the West never want to tell.

 The distorted truth and facts  by the West  about China's 'Great Leap Forward' 1958-1962. China did not start the Great Leap Forward out of thin air. Unfavourable negative and toxic circumstances were foisted on China by both Russia and the West headed by the United States. 

To understand the Great Leap Forward it is necessary to go back to the background history of the founding of the Republic of China in 1911. In the 1910s to early 1920s Dr. Sun Yat Sen the president of the Republic of China asked the Western countries, Japan and Russia for loans to finance China's national development. Their response was not only negative but blunt, clear and insulting. They stated that they have nothing to gain from a strong united  China but would in fact lose priviledges and the exrtra-territorial rights. Thus to them it is best to keep China forever disunited and weak so that they could continue to exploit and plunder China's resources freely as a servile semicolonial entity. So the West, the United States, Russia and Japan  share a common denominator and interest in keeping China poor and weak. This policy was to continue after the end of the Second World War.

The United States and Russia already had planned to launch the Korean war behind the scene at the end of the Second World War in 1945. Both wanted the Korean War for their own diabolical reasons. The United States hope to establish a USA protege and foothold in Korea as a jumping board to invade China so as to get rid of the communist state of the People's Republic of China. Russia planned stealthily to get China involved in the Korean War so that a weaken China will not be able to claim back millions of square miles of Chinese territories which Russia occupied illegally  through deception and subterfuge from 1858 to 1860s at the height of England and France aggression and invasion of China.

To lure and get the People's Republic of China to enter the Korean War Russia plodded China to send in the Chinese soldiers and armies while promised that Russia would be responsible for providing airforce covers and weaponeries like tanks, cannons, guns and amunitions at Russia's expense.

After the Korean War Russia reneged on payment of all the hardwares but sent in the bills to China for payment even to the last bullet. This was treason and treacherous. China would have to pay back Russia for hundreds of millions of dollars. 

To make these payments to Russia the Chinese people had to tighten their stomach for many years. Therefore Chinese agricultural products and dairy products like beef, pork, chickens and milk must be given to Russia in lieu of cash payments. These went on to impoverish China tremendously. 

Simultaneously at this time the West headed by the United States tightened its economic and naval blockade of China. China's shortage of food for her people was curtailed by Russia's oppressive and suppressive policy. China could not trade freely with many countries because of USA blockade and thus could not import all the important products like oil, metal, steel, copper and minerals vital for national development. Hence the important need to innovate and produce all the necessary products per home grown industries in all fields of economic activities. Backyard furnaces sprang up all over China to make steel from scrap metals for manufacturing arms and tanks and military trucks.  Also for some years after the Korean War USA had been carrying out sporadic bombing of China in the East Coast and in Southern China's Yunnan province. Thus it was Russia's treason and USA aggression and nuclear blackmail on China in 1955 and 1958 that was consequential for China to initiate the  necessity of the "Great Leap Forward" to safeguard China. China was again at the critical moment and the "Great Leap Forward" was a rush job with full of inexperience and mistakes. However the Great Leap Forward spearhead the dynamic Chinese Dragon Spirit to rise to the occasion to safeguard the survival of the Chinese sovereign nation and the Chinese civilization.

The United States has not given up its intention to contain and destroy the People's Republic of China. Chairman Mao and his fellow comrade in arms leaders as well as many prominent Chinese scientists and engineers in both the nuclear arms  and rockets cum missiles field realised the urgency for China to speed up the development of nuclear bombs and the rockets and missiles to carry them. As this was part of the Great Leap Forward programme China successfully tested its first atom bomb on 16th October, 1964 and its first hydrogen bomb on 28th December, 1966. Simultaneously China succeeded in manufacturing rockets and missiles capable of carrying the nuclear bombs. Thus the success of the nuclear and the rockets and missiles programme went a long way to safeguard China's sovereignty and to maintain the Chinese people's self-respect, honour and dignity. Henceforth the evil United States and its barbaric Western allies and Japan have to think twice if they still think they can travertise with China and the Chinese people.

From the perspective of China's ability to successfully manufacturing nuclear bombs, rockets and missiles,  the Great Leap Forward programme thus cannot be viewed as a failure for that programme laid the basis and foundation for China's continuous scientific and technological development and advancement for now and for years to come. 

The Great Leap Forward was a worthy premium paid by the Chinese people for the rejuvenation of the glory of the Chinese nation and civilization. Ironically Russia's treason and USA aggression and nuclear blackmail to put down China had the opposite effect of strengthening and uplifting China in her innovative Great Leap Forward programme. From then on China was determined to be self reliant in all aspects of Chinese national endeavours and not dependent on second or third parties.

Asian Games 2026 - India is better than Japan in organising sports events

 NAGOYA: Japan is traditionally seen as a reliable host for major sporting events but an Asian Games dogged by organisational woes has tarnished that image and raised questions over future bids, experts say.

The Games in Aichi-Nagoya saw a catalogue of mishaps, from athletes taken to the wrong venues to the North Korean national anthem played for the South Korean hockey team.

There were not enough beds for the over 17,000 athletes and officials, a bigger number than the Olympics.

Countries complained of being stranded for up to six hours at the airport on arrival....

Ryu Seung-min, president of the Korean Sport and Olympic Committee, said: "If I were to give them a grade, it would be an F."

Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) president Seiko Hashimoto admitted that "there were many problems", but said the country wants to host more international events....

"This is all part of the Games, but we need to analyse those issues so we can tackle them for the next future opportunity."  CNA

What is happening to Japan, the Asian industrial power once rooted to overtake the Americans is failing over and over again and is the target of complaints by third world countries for failing in organising ability and efficiency. The incompetency of the Japanese started even before the start of the game, from arrival at airports and providing accommodation for the athletes and officials. Thereafter the mistakes kept cropping up one after another and some very serious ones.

Japan was once regarded as the epitome of efficiency, the pride of Asia. They invented JIT processes, zero defect QC, operating and manufacturing efficient models that the standards for the world to follow. The mistakes happening in the Asian Games are elementary stuff, nothing difficult to handle. All that was needed was a little bit of effort, more care in the details, more planning and careful administration. What is so hard about such stuff? 

India did a better job in organising the last Commonwealth Games. There were complaints but not about efficiency or planning, Japan has a lot to learn from the Indians in planning another big games. If India has the kind of resources and funds, India would definitely do a much better job than the Japanese in Nagoya. Has Japan joined the Third World in organising and planning efficiency? All the athletes and officials went to Japan and expect Japan to do better than China or at least the same, but horror, to be met with mistakes after mistakes and disruptions and disqualifications.

Between Japan and India, both vying to host the Olympics, I think the Olympic Committee will hand it to the Indians with eyes closed, if it comes to that. Sayonara Japan!

What is the best way to bring down the USA?

 What is the best way to bring down the USA? De-dollarization is the only way. The USA is militarily well prepared against countries trying to do it through head-on clash with the USA military. That has been factored in when the USA had formulated its intention to control the world. It will be unlikely to be successful, with its money printing privilege. Take away this privilege and the USA will fall when demand for US$ keeps falling. More money printing will decimate its internal economy.

The USA will continue to weaponize the US$ if countries do not wise up now and use less of the US$ toilet paper. The Middle East oil states must start by selling oil outside the US$. Easier said than done, as the oil Sheikh's oil wealth are now all mostly invested in the USA or the West. They have been held hostage by the USA. But the Middle East oil states should realize that the USA is unable to protect them as a result of the current war against Iran. Therefore, using the mantra of protecting them has lost its capability going forward. It is time for a rethink.

Now the USA is going to be involved in four wars simultaneously - Ukraine, Israel, Iran and soon Saudi Arabia if it steps in against the Houthis. Does the USA really have the capability and capacity to provide all the weapons needed? China holds the key with its rare earth elements required for the manufacturing of all weapons - fighter jets, submarines, aircraft carriers, other warships, missiles and drones. You can say that China is weaponizing its dominance in rare earth supplies. The same way the USA is weaponizing its fiat currency. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. The sword cuts both ways.

BRICS was created specifically for de-dollarization. It was not a creation of a militaristic mindset, unlike those that talks about military alliances with every breath when forging alliance. BRICS is peaceful bloc and I think countries wanted to join for its dynamic thinking. The process of de-dollarization may be slow and there will be attempts to sabotage its agenda. But with careful vetting and systematic measures in place to prevent subterfuge, it will grow. Ten, twenty or thirty years timeline is not a long way for things to work out under China's thinking. China thinks long term and is patient, dogmatic, relentless when it focuses on issues, just like the four decades it took for it to rise.

American cronies have no choice but to live with NGOs

 Which is why any opposition group in whatever form, providing aid in whichever form, must be made to disclose its source of funding. Governments everywhere knows what to do with funding for terrorist activities but never make any serious effort to rein in those NGOs fermenting the same activity of creating chaos when the time arrives. But NGOs are smart and insert themselves in help groups, religious entities and innocent sounding Samaritan establishments, making it difficult to sound them out.

We can see why there is so much opposition in Thailand trying to enact a law to force NGOs to disclose their source of funding that will reveal who is behind all the protests and who are pulling the strings. Of course, no trail will ever lead to the main culprit, but the funding source will tell us who they are working for. NED is funded by the USA Government and many billionaire elites like George Soros. If the trail leads to NED, it means USA Government involvement and means interference in the internal affairs of nations.

When doing business in India, find an Indian with the right contact and all will be fine

  This is the conventional wisdom often heard in little Red Dot. We have the right Indians with the contacts and know the ways and the ropes, to navigate the Indian power grid with differential access to the who's who in India. Investing in India is a walk in the park. Our contacts go all the way to Modi and everything can be resolved with the public not knowing what is happening behind closed doors. This may be the reason why Singapore's investments in India, hundreds of billions, have been going on so smoothly, without a hitch. Even the small storm in the teacup when DBS was made to acquire a failed Indian bank and being asked to pay for their losses and whatever, nothing else was heard of it. Problems solved, QED when you have good Indian contacts.

The SIA investment in Air India and Air India calling its major shareholders to pay up for its losses will likely go the same way. All settled peacefully behind closed doors. Getting the right contacts is very important when doing business in India. 

What is the catch? What is the meaning of contacts? In China, it is called 'guanxi'. I do not know what is it called in India. In the USA it is called lobbying. What is the difference when big businesses are conducted based on guanxi, contacts or lobbying? Don't they need to go by the rule of law, by what is written in the contracts?

There is an underlying assumptions in such business dealings. The contacts will serve the interests of the investing or paying party. And when doing business in India, the contacts are likely to be well connected Indians. The Indian contacts will be the middlemen, the go between, the deal makers. The investing party, likely not Indians, will use his Indian contacts to talk to the Indians. Presumably the Indian contacts will work in favour of whoever hires him to be the contact. So he will be on the side of the investing party when negotiating with the Indians in India, could be the Indian govt. Caveat, hopefully the assumptions and presumptions are correct, and the contacts will negotiate in favour of the investing party. 

So, you have a non Indian investor hiring an Indian national to represent him to negotiate with the other Indian party in a business deal in India. The non Indian investor has no choice but to have complete trust in the Indian contact. What are the chances that the two Indians will snook the non Indian investing party for their own interests, making their own deals in the process? Trust them.

What do you think?
