Xi's message to Trump, we can do without trade with America

 Xi’s CEO-free delegation at Trump state dinner spotlights strains in US-China business ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping brought China’s top economic officials to Washington but left its business leaders at home, even as corporate America turned out in force for US President Donald Trump’s state dinner.

SHANGHAI: Chinese CEOs were conspicuously missing from United States President Donald Trump’s state dinner for Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday (Sep 24), even as more than 30 American business leaders filled the room.

Their absence changes little at the negotiating table, where Beijing’s senior economic officials - who were present - remain the key decision-makers, analysts say....

All the hype, pomp and pageantry, Xi arrived and was greeted in person by Trump at the aircraft, with red carpet, an honour rarely offered to any head of state. The Emperor does not greet any leader at the aircraft. He normally stays back in the comfort of his palace, the White House. In a way, Trump finally returned the favour Xi offered to him in Beijing in his previous visits and accepted Xi as an equal in big power politics.

To Xi, this is a reciprocity to Trump's visit earlier in the year, nothing more. There were a lot of high expectations that relations would be better, with more trades and less sanctions. But everyone knows that this is fiction, fantasy. Trump and his rogues have never let a day passed without imposing more sanctions, bans and restrictions on China. Xi noted without saying a word. The whole rigmarole set up by clown Trump was just that. China has seen this happened over and over again and no longer pay any hope in the American thugs and their hypocritical behaviour. The American gangsters will punch you in the face and smile and say we are very good friends. Xi will not have any of that anymore, but will play along with the Americans using their same playbook.

Trump and his clowns are all set to not only decouple from China but to bring down China, to stop China's growth and development in every way possible. Have no doubt about that. All the smiles and niceties coming out from Trump's filthy mouth are filths, not be be taken seriously.

While Trump gathered all the top business honchos to his White House dinner, giving the impression that he wanted more business, Xi did not believe a wee bit in this gesture. Xi's delegation did not have a single business CEO in them. What does this say of the visit? A courtesy call at best.

Xi is telling Trump and his clowns through his actions. No trade. China can do without trade with the Americans, and no pretense. This is just diplomacy and a show, relations with America is just a farce. Xi's only message to Trump is very simple. Both can play the same game. Set the relations right before trade can proceed. You want to fool around, mess around, to pretend to be smiling but holding a dagger behind your back, China can do the same. Until Trump and the Americans are serious in what they say and want good relations with China, relations with America will be superficial. 

Trump and his rogues can keep on bashing China, blocking China, attacking China, attacking China's assets and investments around the world, China will take note and quietly take steps to decouple completely from the Americans. All the strategies and plans have been put into action for China to be independent and self sufficient and to do away with America. The world is big enough for China and the rest of the world to live and prosper without the American terrorists. 

China no longer needs America. Xi does not need Trump but will just play along with him for as long as the clown thinks he can go on clowning without consequences, and keep on believing that Xi is a fool at his finger tips. China's relations with America is theatric, political, NOT economic and trade. Clown Trump got to get use to a China that no longer trust a single word coming out from him. You want a show, China will reciprocate. China has developed all the technologies it needed and will surpass the Americans in a few years in everything. What is Nvidia, what are AI models and data centres?  China is surging ahead in and leaving the American clowns behind.

Let's toast to MAGA and the great America and Trump's circus in Washington. Xi has no delusion about this trip. Xi will go home empty handed for sure and be very happy with it. Trump and his CEOs will also be empty handed and be very happy about it without knowing why. What a great relationship between Trump and Xi, between America and China.

Empire of Lies still spreading lies that China is still their IP when they did not even have the tech

The anti-China faction lies so unconvincingly that I sometimes cannot imagine where they got such frivolous ideas.

For example, when China showcased its robots performing with humans, they claimed that those robots were under remote control. That was not a single robot, but dozens of them doing the same stuff in perfect unison with the human performers. How could such precise control over their jumping, somersaulting and doing wushu be under remote control?

Suffice to say, just because they are unable to do the same, they demonized. The same thing they always do without fail. It is just sour grapes. Just like the fox unable to get at the grapes and yet tells everyone that they are sour. Not tasing it yet the fox knows it is sour.

But going a step further, they may claim that what the robots are doing is just copying from them. While Elon Musk is making robots to do housework like watering plants and serving tea, China is using robots in an industrial landscape. Compare the productivity of the two and you can gauge who is really thinking out of the box.

American propaganda machine backfired with silly lies falling flat

As reported by some mischievous sites showing Xi hospitalized and in an intensive care unit in a hospital, why is there a Xi Jinping now shaking hands with Trump? Must be AI generated, like the one about Xi in hospital. Or was that a stand-in for Xi, lol. Putin has so many stand-ins. So does Kim Jong Un.

So much speculation about Xi's health lately came to naught. It destroys the reputation of those anti-China social media sites. Putin's health had been under scrutiny for years. He was supposed to have died many times, like the collapse of China. Even Kim Jong Urn's non-appearance for a few weeks cannot be left un-propagated.

Now there are much speculation circulating about Xi's hold on power in China with opponents going for his removal. How true are those? That video of Hu Jintao being removed from a meeting was given a real boosting by anti-China bots, with much speculation about the reason, but not really touching on the real reason.

There was also much speculation about Xi's departure from the BRICS summit in India and his non-attendance at the gala dinner hosted by Modi. The speculation even said that Xi suffered a minor stroke. Another was speculating about Xi's anger over Modi's criticism over China's rare earth control. Yet another was speculating about Xi being afraid of being poisoned consuming food in India. Only the fertile minded can come up with such mischievous ideas.

But, as they say, the dogs barked, but the caravan moves on.

Singapore primary education - Parents want the best for their child, ... hopefully no parents will be jailed for this

Commentary: Parents want the best for their child, but P1 registration cannot be only about 'me first'

Before considering bolder changes, we need to decide how to balance individual competitiveness and our collective values, say SMU’s Jacqueline Ho, NIE’s Jason Tan and NUS’ Vincent Chua.

SINGAPORE: In a high-stakes, credential-conscious environment, parents understandably want to deploy every available resource to secure their child’s educational future.

Recognising these pressures, the Ministry of Education recently announced adjustments to the Primary 1 registration framework. There will be more reserved places in Phase 2C for children with no prior connection to the school, up from 40 to 60 spots. Additionally, twelve schools in neighbourhoods with more private housing will offer a two-track Phase 2C to include those living beyond the usual 2km radius. CNA

Can anyone fault the parents for wanting the best for their children, especially in education? The Singapore govt understands this very well and is trying to do everything it could to satisfy their aspirations, love and devotion for their children and their future. This move will be music to the parents in Singapore.

Anyone thinks more should be done for the parents and their charge? Parental or motherly love must not be seen as a crime, or a serious crime that warrants jail sentences. Would the wise and clever men and women understand this?

"The stated goals of Phase 2A and Phase 2B are to preserve school culture through alumni, clan and church connections, and recognise volunteer or grassroots contributions. For decades, these priorities have defined the boundaries of what Singaporeans imagine the P1 registration framework can and should accomplish.

Yet while these policy objectives sound reasonable in theory, the registration rules meant to achieve them have become gameable levers of advantage in practice." CNA

A crime is a crime. But is gaming for a place in a good school for a child be seen in the same light as a violent crime or gaming in a casino or in the stock market? If so, then parents should not be allowed to do volunteer works for schools to gain points for admission as well. It is also a form of gaming. No?

What do you think?

China is building this and that, very good....BUT

 

Testing the waters? Businesses weigh China’s new trade shortcut to Southeast Asia

The Pinglu Canal provides China’s landlocked southwest region with a much shorter water route to the South China Sea - and Southeast Asia. But turning early business interest into sustained demand will be the bigger test, say analysts.  Melody Chan, CNA

Not to worry, anything China does will fail. China is going to collapse soon, or already collapsed 26 years ago. China's EVs, solar panel, EV battery, AI, chips, anything China seeks to do will fail. China's factories will collapse, China's robots will collapse....  They will look good initially, BUT will fail. China is doomed and will never overtake the Americans.

Happy? The brain dead Anglophiles can start to celebrate the collapse of China, after wishing for China's collapse for so long. I guarantee that Trump will collapse before China will collapse. Maybe the rogue America Empire will collapse before China. 

Who are the analysts that are praying for China's collapse everyday?
