The average Chinese is richer than the average American

Under the USA's method of counting, they still claim they are the richest. In terms of PPP GDP, China is now about US$12 trillion richer than the USA annually. PPP is what a country could buy in terms of its currency value. Everything is so much cheaper in China and so much cheaper to make and to sell globally.

In terms of nominal GDP, China is still second biggest economy in the world. However, that hides a very significant issue with nominal GDP fixation.

China just chalked up a trade surplus of US$126 billion in June, another record in spite of the Middle East crisis and the continued technology squeeze by the USA and its allies.. By the end of this year, China's trade surplus is expected to touch US$1.2 trillion, another new record. Such accumulation of surpluses gives China much leeway to invest more in many sectors - the BRI, infrastructures, research and development, defence upgrading and subsidizing priority sectors like chips, renewable energy and more clout to roll out new global settlement system.

Trump is attempting to immortalize himself

Trump is attempting to immortalize himself by attaching his name to monuments, items of interest and even the naming of warships. Do not be alarmed when Trump tries to attach his name to drones and missiles as well. The man is so full of himself that he thinks the whole world loves him like the 'dull of mind' Hillbillies. Now the farmers are finding out the hard way.

China agreed to buy USA agricultural products while negotiating the tariff issue, but the reality falls far short of what is agreed and the famers are suffering. China already found alternative sources of such produce and had already signed contracts with those other countries and is not going to dishonor its pledge. It has a reputation to uphold. The USA can tear up agreements at will and lose its credibility, and China is not going to follow the same mafia tactic. After all, China is ready and serious and all for de-coupling from the USA. The Chinese have already done their homework, build the necessary bridges, migrate its market to the Global South. Nothing is going to stand in the way.

Trump tearing up the nuclear deal with Iran made by Obama and now trying to force Iran to sign another deal under his name is just preposterous. It shows the evil design of the man using the mantra of a nuclear deal to start a war to seize Iranian oil and control the Strait of Hormuz. The plan is not going to work.

Iran has now told the Houthis to shut down the other waterway, the Bab Al-Mandab, the southern entry to the Red Sea. That means the Suez Canal is closed on the southern end. Saudi Oil, even with another waterway to serve its exit, is now also blocked for oil going to East Asia and Japan and South Korea are in trouble.

Clown Trump should be charged for not protecting American secret

 Trump is again accusing China of interfering or meddling with American election. What he is saying is that the American system is so flawed that China is in a position to determine who should be elected as the President of America. He must have said this through his personal experience. He must have known, that when he lost the election, it was China that put its fingers into the American ballot boxes. He must have know that when he was re elected, it was China again that made him the 47th President of America. Clown Trump is so very sure that China could do it and America can do nothing about it. This is why he is so furious and keep harping on China being able to interfere in the American electoral system. And his clown intelligence agencies are going to provide data to prove that China rigged the presidential election.

Clown Trump cannot be making such a serious allegation by lying again, though he is infamous as a liar. He is POTUS, how could he made such ludicrous lie if it is untrue? Americans out there, is this clown President of America lying or telling the truth? I choose to believe in this clown because he is the President of America, and Americans don't lie, except that they cheat and spending billions in silly propaganda that no one believes in. Spreading propaganda, misinformation, fabricating false news or alternate news are not lies in the definition of the American clowns. Just like bombing and attacking Iran daily for more than three months is not war.

What clown Trump has done is as good as revealing a secret of the American state apparatus, that they are operating a faulty electoral system and unable to stop foreign countries from interfering and meddling with their political system, can conduct regime change on America by exploiting this flawed American electoral system. And the poor American intelligence services have to come out unashamingly to dispute what clown Trump is accusing China of. They said there is no evidence that China is able to interfere or meddle with the American electoral system. They have to make such a big public lie to save the embarrassment of what clown Trump has exposed. The great but sick American Empire did not have a trustworthy electoral system and foreign countries can easily exploit the flawed system. Clown Trump was made the President of America by China because China interfered in the system and made this clown, the most idiotic person, to win the Presidential Election, to beat other better and more intelligent candidates. Meddling and interfering with the electoral system to make a clown like Trump to be POTUS is the greatest achievement of China. And America is paying dearly for it today with all the queer and bizarre policies and decisions he is making.

Well done China! Trump should thank China for making him the President of the USA instead of demonising China. Oops, Clown Trump's hostility towards China is just a pretence. He knows Xi is his greatest benefactor and openly called Xi his good friend.

PS. The above narrative is based on the assumption that clown Trump is telling the truth, that China can meddle and interfere with the American Electoral System. The system is so flawed that it can be rigged by China.

Pew Research destroys American propaganda

The fact that the Pew Research Center came up with the result of a survey that shows more people have more confidence in what China is doing compared to the USA, indicates that all is not lost to the propaganda machine.

People have ears that can be swayed by propaganda without having the eyes to see the reality in the past. Now, people can see the reality of visiting China themselves and have a brain to think rationally who is telling lies and who is being lied to.

Why do so many people in Singapore have a negative image of the States Times and Channel News America? These two are not the only source of information in this internet age, unlike in the past. Moreover, by preventing alternative news sources from having alternative voices, people knew what they are missing and will strive to be even more relentless to find out what they are lacking.

You cannot keep an honest man away from the truth, if what is presented to him is distorted, given a touch of sanitization or using plain selective reporting methods. Everyone knows that journalism already lost its credibility long ago, with the powers that be dictating the direction of what to avoid and what to report.

Drag Queen Vance is a curse and the Americans deserve to have him

Drag Queen, J. D. Vance is indeed a sick joke. Or a curse. The previous Pope, Pope Francis, died right after his meeting with Vance, the Satanic last person Pope Francis had the misfortune of meeting.

Trump's administration is full of strange creatures just like J. D. Vance, culled from the worst of the worst living things in the same swamp that he professed to drain, but instead gets more polluted over the course of his first term and his present term.

Most infesting the Trump administration are traitors to the USA, just like Trump himself making the USA grief again or another alternative interpretation of MAGA. Creatures like Howard Lutnik, the Commerce Secretary, had his own children taking bets that the tariff fiasco will collapse and it is indeed collapsing. What a visionary indeed!

The reality of it all is that Trump is not making USA great again, but is making China, Russia and Iran great again. I do not know about the MIGA claim or making India great again as some are uttering.

North Korea helping Iran would have seen the country being targeted straight away by Trump if North Korea had not been a nuclear state today. There is not even a squeak by Trump condemning what North Korea is doing by helping Iran. North Korea already did the unthinkable earlier by sending North Korean troops to help Russia in its war against Ukraine. That tells the value of what a nuclear deterrent can do in times of conflict. Of course, Russia behind North Korea's back is a huge enough deterrent against the USA if it tries to target North Korea.
