China is the most happy country, China is not the most happy country?

Same as China never can be in the running for being among the topmost happy country, never in the running for Nobel Prizes (if I am not wrong), never able to escape being demonized for any little hiccup, always touted to be collapsing according to the Western media, always accused of mistreatment of minorities and anything that goes wrong in the world is all because of China.

I could not help laughing when a particular survey put China on top of the happiness index truthfully, but which was deemed destroying the cultivated monopoly of the White countries and had to be exhumed from mention after that. What does that action tell us about Western mentality?

As some people like to say, not seeing beggars does not mean there are no beggars.

America is squeezing Japan dry, who is Japan going to attack next?

Just look at how defeated the Japanese Samurai spirit has become, having to ask the USA permission to save its currency. Even India felt slighted earlier when told it had to seek USA permission to buy Russian oil, for one month only mind you. Well, both are good friends of the USA who forgot Henry Kissinger's advice.

Japan is still held tightly by the USA on a leash, unable to do anything about its economy, falling from the second biggest economy to fourth today, with its currency going bananas. That has not helped Japan in its exports realistically, otherwise why is Japan still in the doldrums after three decades of stagnation. The cheap Yen did not help Japan to fend off the competition from South Korea and now China and resulted in Japan losing out its consumer electronics market earlier to South Korea. The shipbuilding sector followed and now Japan's vehicle market if facing stiff competition.

Maybe Japan is looking for another war to rise again. But this time it will not be the same, as China is no pushover today. So, who does Japan want to conquer next? Take over Taiwan? China will never allow that to happen. Japan has problems with Russia too as old debts have never been forgotten.

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.
