When Singapore is forced to choose between China and the USA

Hsien Loong has warned that the rivalry between China and the USA may force Singapore and other Asean states to choose side. And this would be difficult time for these small states. If the day comes, what would be Singapore’s choice? Remember, taking sides mean becoming the enemy of the other. Oops, taking the side of China will become the enemy of the Americans. Taking the side of the USA may not necessarily mean becoming the enemy of China. How so?

As far as the Americans are concerned, it is about the American Empire. You are either with us or against us. Any country that is not a vassal state of the American Empire is an enemy of the Empire. The Americans are only interested in being the Empire, controlling the world and dictating to the world under the American world order. In order to extend the reach of the Empire and securing the influence of the Empire, the Americans have direct interest to control countries around the world eg South Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Vietnam in particular and Asean in general, the Middle Eastern countries, the European countries, Africa etc etc. Regime change is always an American option to control the govt of these countries.

The Chinese have officially announced to the world that it would not seek world domination and hegemony. China only wants to trade and help the world to build infrastructures to promote an interconnected world for more trade and free trade. China will trade with any country without political complications. China would not interfere in the internal affairs of nation states unlike the Americans that insisted that countries must be run like the ‘American version of democracy’ be like them and would conduct regime change if this is not the case.

Being on the Chinese side is all about trade and economic development. Being on the side of the Americans is all about being part of the Empire and fighting wars to keep the Empire growing. China does not have this aspiration and does not demand its friends to go to wars. The Americans demand this and would drag their vassal states by the ears to go to wars for the American Empire.

Other than trade, Singapore also has political and security concerns. It is always wary of being attacked by bigger neighbours when there is a regime change and some ultra nationalist leaders appear and take charge. Singapore has been relying on the Americans for this protection. China was not in a position to do so in the past. And it was natural and the only choice to depend solely on the Americans, and to live with the problems of being part of the American Empire, being dragged into wars, implicated and made enemies of states that it did not want to and unable to say no to the Americans.

China today is as capable as the Americans to protect Singapore from its bigger neighbours if the need arises. For any Asean country to fight a war with China or the USA and thinking of winning is a no brainer. It is a mismatch. A major point is that China does not have an empire dream, to dominate and control the world. Thus, Singapore would not risk being pulled by the ear into a war by an empire, fighting and dying for someone’s empire.

China has also made it a law to protect all Chinese all over the world regardless of nationalities. So anyone thinking that it is convenient to run amok and kill Chinese must think twice harder, that China would not sit idly by when Chinese people are being killed by racists and extremists thugs. Would the Americans lift a finger when this happens? Maybe, maybe not, depending on American interests and what is more important to the Americans. The Americans may even take the side of the extremists if their interests coincide. A good example is the brutal killing of Khashoggi. Khashoggi is dispensable even if he was close to the Americans. The Saudis are more important in the Empire game plan.

What would be Singapore’s choice when it has to choose between the Americans and China? If a banana is in charge, there is no need to guess. The answer is obvious. The bananas believe their ancestors are Europeans and would align with the Americans.

The Chosen One

2000 years ago a child was born of a virgin birth. He had no human father, no biological father. He was the Chosen One. He was the king of kings, the king of all human beans on earth, so say the bible and the believers. Then he was hung on a cross by the powers of the day. The Pharisees and the Romans did not believe in him and neither did they trust him. But before he died, he told his believers that he would come again and rule the earth for a thousand years. He said he did not know the exact day, but when that day came, there would be darkness in the sky, and there would be lightning and there would be fear, people trembling in fear. ‘On that day I shall come and I shall judge.’ The bad ones would be burnt in the sea of fire and perished forever.
 
The believers have been waiting for this day to come. 2000 years have passed and that day has yet to come. But they said soon he will come, and watch for the signs. Watch out for the lightning, and the arkness that has befallen on the people that needs to be saved would be struck away. That day is nigh. And watch out for the Chosen One. He shall come and you shall recognize him, for he has no father, no biological father, of virgin birth.
 
Look around for the One without a father, I mean biological father. He is the Chosen One, to save the world, to bring light and chase away darkness. He will punish the evil doers and burn them in hell. Anyone who has a biological father is a pretender or at most a stand in for a brief moment.
 
There is hope over the horizon. The Chosen One will be made known to all and ascend the throne to be king of kings, next year or the year after, very soon. Have faith and have trust in Him. No one else can choose him to be the One.
 
The time has come. Amen.

The daft Australians must learn from Singapore

‘Australian prime minister plans to reduce immigration, citing urban crowding
Prime Minister Scott Morrison of Australia has proposed that the government impose stricter limits on immigration to control overcrowding in the country’s major cities. Population growth has played a major role in the country’s economic success, but people in Australia’s biggest cities are alarmed about an influx of immigrants, Mr Morrison said. “They are saying: enough, enough, enough,” he said. “The roads are clogged, the buses and trains are full. The schools are taking no more enrollments.”’

The above is quoted from Todayonline. The Australians are hysterical over the growing number of immigrants adding to the population of their cities. Can you believe that? A continent nation with cities that are sparsely populated compare to Singapore, they are calling for a ban on immigration? Don’t they want growth, don’t they want progress and better quality of life?
 
The problem is that they did not know how to manage big cities with big population. Singapore should send out experts to down under and teach them how good big population is and how each Australian city can easily accommodate a 10m population.
 
Australia must learn from Singapore in bringing more and more population to increase economic growth. And the better immigrants are those from third world countries with their special talents that Australia does not have, never mind which universities or if their degrees are from degree mills. No degrees also can, as long as they can work, be they calling themselves as doctors, engineers, scientists, professors, as long as they can do the job, the papers got or no do not matter.
 
If Australia is to follow what Singapore is doing, with its continent size country, Australia can easily take in another 100m immigrants and become really a big country and a super power. No need to pretend that it is a big power when it is not, with a meagre population of 23m, less than the population of Malaysia.
 
The Australian govt should simply throw the question back to the complaining and daft Australians. Do you want growth, do you want a better life? The answers must be yes and therefore bringing in more immigrants is the only way to go about it. QED.
 
If they don’t believe this, come to Singapore and see how we squeezed in 6m people in this piece of rock and still bringing in more, and there is no problem of overcrowding. We have work for several million foreigners. And they contributed to our growth and created work for Singaporeans as well. Our infrastructure and public transport system are running as smoothly as they are built to be. And we can continue to build more homes to sell to the foreigners. How nice.
 
And where got Singaporeans saying, enough, enough, enough? Singaporeans are crying for more, more, and more. Some even suggesting 10m or 15m or more. And this is the reason why Singapore is so prosperous, so rich, now so rich in culture from all over the work, including viruses and bacteria in the air. And exposing to them would make Singaporeans stronger with better immunity.
 
Did the Australians know that this little Red Dot on the surface of the earth has one quarter the population of the Australian continent and wanting more? Soon Singapore will have a population half the size of Australia, if the great thinkers and planners have their way.

US Lies and Hubris At APEC Dialogue At Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. PART THREE

During his speech, Pence announced that US invest four hundred million dollars for its Asia-Pacific transparency initiative "to empower citizens to combat corruption and strengthen sovereignty."  That paltry sum to help Asia Pacific nations to build infrastructure is a joke. It is not even a tiny fraction of China's over a hundred billion dollars for the international Belt And Road project that strung over the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. Pence may not have any shame for he doesn't know that paltry sum is an insult to Asian self respect and dignity. May be that paltry sum is just enough to buy corrupted officials allegiance to America as American running dogs. What infrastructure can four hundred millions build in a huge Asian continent of many countries. May be it is just enough for US to subvert and undermine legitimate governments to bend to US dictates and to line the pockets of U fifth columns to overthrow governments to be replaced by US stooges. Most likely US has malevolent motive to subvert the noteworthy benefits of China's initiated Belt and Road Infrastructure. Pence is guilty of the utmost hypocrisy when he talks about combating corruption. US is largely responsible for all the ugly corruptions in the third world which nevertheless benefits America.

Pence said " US seeks better relationship with China, based on fairness, reciprocity and respect for sovereignty." These are empty words for export only. They sound hollow and do not mean anything at all. US has been interfering in Chinese internal affairs since the 1930s  and continuing to do so even now. From 1830s to 1930s US prospered and enriched itself at the expense of China through forced opium and heroin trade on China under the threat of Gun boat Policy.  Prominent American families which conducted illicit and illegal opium trade in China include the President Franklin Roosevelt father and  grandfather, The Bush family, the Rockefellers, John Kerry's family and the Billderbergs.  Many prominent American cities like New York, Boston , Phidadelphia and Los Angles, infrastructures like roads, railways, buildings and parks were built with wealth and riches gained from illiciit opium and heroin trade imposed on China.

Further rubbish talk from Pence, "We want to strengthen the relationship between our two countries and improve the lives of our citizens." High sounding words to camouflage US evil intent towards China and to deceive the world . How to strengthen relationship when US still wrongfully hold Taiwan as a semi-colony. If US had not interfered in  the Chinese civil war in the 1950s and stationed the US 7th Fleet across the Taiwan Straits . Taiwan would have been reunited with China long ago and today there will not be a Taiwan problem. Further US is so evil that it never stops inciting Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines to go against China. It is perpetually trying to stop the Chinese compatriots in Taiwan from uniting with the motherland and is selling offensive weapons to traitors and American running dogs and lackeys and separatists to defy China.

Pence talk of improving the lives of American citizens. But US government is very discriminatory between the blacks and the whites. The government ignores the welfare of the non-white millions of blacks living a very unpleasant life sleeping on the streets and depending on private food donations. They will continue to face a very bleak future in comparison to the well taken care of whites by the white supremacist government.

Pence indulges in idle talk, "China has an honoured place in our vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific (Asia - Pacific ) , if it chooses to respect its neighbours sovereignty, embrace free, fair and reciprocal trade and uphold human rights and freedom. "  Is Pence still smoking opium? Does he know what he is talking? China had been a victim of imperialists and colonialists. First it was invaded by the Mongols , followed by the Manchus. Then it was invaded by the western barbaric hordes, the Russians, the British,  France, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Japan and the Americans. This western invasions not only impoverished China but also caused China to lose over four million square miles of lands mainly to Russia ( which is still clinging to over three and a half million square miles of Chinese territory north of the Heilongjiang and the Ussuri River, to England which occupied a few hundred thousand square miles of Chinese land south of Tibet and Xingjiang and to Japan which is still occupying the Chinese island archipelago of Liu Chiu Dao which it renamed as Okinawa. China does not and has never hold or conquered any foreign country. On the contrary small little countries around China have been emboldened by Western instigations to nibble Chinese lands in the South China Sea. 

Pence talk of free trade is a hoax. China trade under WTO rules and regulations which is largely formulated by US. But through its own folly of greed and spenthrift behaviour US became its own victim, and has become uncompetitive vis a vis other countries. Now Pence fallaciously  put the blame on China for America's own inefficiency and incompetency in industries, trade and commerce. Infact US manipulates its currency and weaponize the Petrodollar to advance the benefits of free trade in America's favour.

It is a shame and disgrace for America to talk about  human rights and freedom. Just see how they illtreat the native , African and Mexican Americans. Uncle redbean has written much about this matter before and in yesterday's article on the same blog.  America's abuse of human rights and freedom is well known throughout the world. So Pence talk about human rights and freedom is just hypocrisy.

Pence talk is hollow and full of baloney. If US respect others sovereignty it should dismantle all its hundreds of military bases in South Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, philippines, the Middle East,Darwin and diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. US should give back the islands of Diego Garcia to the Diego Garcian islanders with full compensation for they were illegally and brutally evicted from Diego Garcia in 1967. US military bases are for intimidation and to coerce weak and third world countries to listen and obey US dictates and command.

Pence is no different from all other US politicians and statesmen whose talk is all hubris and the audience wonder who are they trying to browbeat and brainwash with their odious malevolent poisonous propaganda.

China must be selective in its development and infrastructure programmes

After several decades of neglect in the Pacific Islands with the islanders left to fend for themselves with little aid and development, China decided to bring in the Pacific Islands as part of its Belt and Road Initiative. In the process China started to offer development and infrastructure plans for the Pacific island countries. This is not appreciated in the western world particularly Australia with some Australian parliamentarians even ridiculing China as building roads to nowhere. And when China decided to build ports for the islanders, the West raised the Chinese demon as China trying to build a military base in the Pacific Ocean, for what?
 
During the APEC Meeting in PNGF, the West, ie US, Australia and Japan decided to join hands to start some development projects for the Island nations that they had conveniently forgotten and neglected. And the development projects include of all things a naval base. Yes, they must build military bases. That’s what they want and that’s what they know how. While they accused China that was building a commercial port as militarizing the islanders, they came in and straight away offer to build a naval base. Satan cannot hide his horns for long.
 
China too has invested in several projects in PNG that Australia and the West refused to do. With China’s initiatives, the West and Australia/Japan are now forced to do something. If China has left the islanders out of its Belt and Road Initiative, do nothing, the West would not lift a finger to help develop these island nations.
Are China’s efforts to help these islanders appreciated? This is questionable. When the West rushes in to elbow China out of the region, some islanders started to warm up to them and forgot that it was China that started to want to help them. Some of the ungrateful immediately turned away from China to embrace the West.
 
China’s generosity is never appreciated by many of these third world countries, even in Asean, especially those countries that were once colonized and plundered by the West. They all suffered from the Stockholm Syndrome and fell in love with the invaders that ruled over them and plundered their countries.
China should not waste its resources and goodwill trying to help the hardcore anti China countries. The effort will not be appreciated and these countries would take China for granted and even turn around to slap China at the first opportunity. Notably these countries include Vietnam, India, the Philippines (Duterte is an exception but soon he would be gone and Philippines would be anti China again), Malaysia and Indonesia. The latter two are infamous for ‘running amok’ if you understand what this means. Singapore’s position is well known and I would not comment on it.
 
China instead should spend its hard earned money selectively to help countries in Central Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America where kindness and generosity are better appreciated. It is futile to convert the unconvertible and money could be better used in countries that needed and appreciate them. There are many countries that are worthy of help and assistance. Help those that are happy to be helped and will reciprocate kindness with kindness. Let the Americans help those that are endeared to them with more military aids, more weapons and military bases, to turn them into semi colonies of the Evil Empire. Buying weapons is a very sexy thing, going to war is even sexier. They can get orgasm for that. Let them build more military bases and go and kill each other.
 
China should just shake hands with countries that want infrastructure development and trade and prosper peacefully.
