Pax Indo-Pacifica and the Quad - Implications for Asean

 

Jag Singh 2 weeks ago

Regarding Ladakh conflict, PM Modi already admitted at his congress speech on Jun 19, 2020 that China did not enter into territories of India but Indian soldiers entered territories of China in Jun. That is why in June Indian soldiers were beaten by China soldiers (about 23 Indian soldiers fell into the river so died of coldness). India invaded China's territories so started the conflict. This was the truth. 

 

In the same way as the Americans spreading wild and baseless lies against China as expansionist and aggressive to stoke hate against China and Chinese, and using it as an excuse to smear China and incite fear of China, India is copying the same trick to smear China to cover its aggressive nature and intent to covet Chinese land. By pointing an accusing finger at China, the Indians took the opportunity to send more troops and tanks into the border area, attacking Chinese positions when China did nothing and said nothing.

 

The cockiness and aggressive Indians are best manifested by a stupid and brazen colonel marching into a Chinese camp, tore down the tents and burnt them.  Can you believe that? What was this Indian colonel thinking inside his head?  Behaving like English raj roughing up Chinese soldiers as if they were Indian subjects? This led to a brawl and many of the Indian soldiers were chased into the nearby freezing river.  They eventually died of cold, including the arrogant Indian colonel.  And despite such hostile behaviour on their part, they, like Trump, just spread lies about China as aggressive and wanting to conquer India.  As I said before, why would China want to invade this piece of shit land to invite more trouble? What is there in India that is worthy of invading when such an act would end up in endless warfare? China has enough land and does not need another inch of Indian soil. It is the Indians that think whatever the British rajs took from China during the height of the British Empire must also belong to India. They knew and the whole world knew that the British simply wrote away Chinese land as part of the British Empire when China was weak and powerless to object or to fight back.

 

The intent of the Indians were crystal clear. Such lies and allegations were just an excuse to cover their ambitious and aggressive designs. Their grand plan is not only about taking over Chinese land, also about making Nepal and Tibet their protectorates. And this is not all, think of the concept of Pax Indo-Pacifica. India thinks and wants to be a super power and think of a hegemonic empire with the US over the whole region from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.

India is now actively courting Japan, Australia and the USA to formalise a military alliance through the Quad. It regards itself as an equal partner among the four nations to rule the Indo Pacific region or Pax Indo-Pacifica. 

In pushing for this ambitious goal of regional hegemony, India totally ignores the existence of the Asean states. It sees itself as a big power and in collaboration with the US, Japan and Australia, the Indian will rule the two oceans, not just the Indian Ocean.  Indians have no respect for the Asean states, thinking and behaving like a big power.

Where would this put the Asean states? Asean, with big brother Indonesia, have been very quiet about the ambitious Quad hegemony, the new Imperial power to rule over them. Would Asean welcome a new military alliance as the regional power in the region, the heartland of Asean states? Did the Quad members ever consider the interest and feelings of the Asean states and whether Asean states would welcome the new overlord meekly and submissively?

What audacity for India to want to be the hegemonic power of the Indo Pacific region and inviting the Americans, Japanese and Australians to lord over the Asean states? The Indians are drunk by their deluded sense of greatness and completely ignore the existence and sensitivity of the Asean states and the Asean people as if they don't exist or did not matter.

PS.  Happy Deepavali to Indian brothers and sisters.

The Main Cause Of A Country's Collapse

 1984 George Orwell said...

People change as they get older. Everybody. Not even a single exception.

People with money, tons of them, crazy rich and filthy wealthy, change even more than ordinary folks.

People with power, prolonged power, unfettered power and absolute power, change beyond recognition and understanding by the common folks. Even their relatives and friends cannot recognise or understand them anymore. And even they are not able to recognise or understand themselves. Ultimately, they don't even know what they are speaking about, especially when they speak in public. Why?

Simple. After so long in power, the power becomes a form of opiat, a kind of drug even more powerful than the power itself. This power drug gets into their heads. They eat with power. They sleep with power. They dream of power. They even shit out power. Then they start to imagine and hallucinate that they are Gods, or Mini-Gods, or Sons of God, or God's right-hand and left-hand Angels, or God's annointed Saviours, or God's Appointees or at least God's Gifts to mankind.

That's where the downfall starts.

The rot starts with their inner selves. Soon it manifests outwards. Then it permeates into the society and environment, perversely and pervasively all-encompassing. Then the whole nation rots together. Majority of the common folks don't even know what hits them.

The ultimate collapse is inevitable. It is not a matter of if but a mater of when.

The power incumbents will try to delay the collapse as long as possible. Meanwhile, painting a rosy picture to the world, a fantastic too-good-to-be-true pseudo self-imagined vision of the future - for example, a smart city, an eco-city, Shangri-la or Swiss Standard of Living, etc.

As they dull and lull the minds of the masses, they quickly hasten themselves to fill up their own bank accounts at all costs. Time is the essence. Time is $MONEY$. To them.

When the inevitable happens, the common folks are left to carry the babies. To suffer the unspeakable and unimaginable consequences. But those who have enriched themselves have already flown far away, together with their families, relatives and cronies - into another world, another dimension....

This is the irony of trust, of truth and of transient existence.

Parti Liyani - Shanmugam has spoken

As expected, Law Minister K Shanmugam went to great lengths to deal with the obvious as well as unsaid issues – from his end of the debate, that is.

'Nine hours is lengthy, as parliamentary debates go. That was the amount of time spent in Parliament on the PartiLiyani case. But it will, by no means, settle the question of whether justice will ever be impeccably served, not if a substantial portion of the proceedings was taken up essentially by a detailed, if well-delivered, self-defence of the current system. Not by a long shot, I am afraid, if the government insists on believing that it can OwnselfCheck Ownself.'  Tan Bah Bah in Yahoo News.

 KNN, 9 hours still not enough ah? Still got doubts meh?

Shanmugam has spoken. The god of Singapore's law and enforcement system has spoken that there is no wrong doing, no favouritism for elites, all is fair and just. Singapore's legal system and the whole govt will not stand if there is biases in the legal system to protect a certain group of people, ie the natural aristocrats as some quarters seemed to suggest, or the social media seems to say so. For saying so in Parliament, just like Hsien Loong made his defence in many cases about the integrity of the system, the integrity of the legal system and Singapore's pristine incorruptible and fair and just system stay clean and above reproach.

' Shanmugam also reiterated a problem which he said he had brought up before – that of police officers working under tremendous pressure but which he nevertheless recognised as being part of a larger manpower shortage issue.' The pressure the police officers are facing is due to work overload not the kind of pressure that came from political interference or the heavy weights of the elites sitting on them. Get this clear. 'Equally important, there shall be no soft, less obvious,corruption where old school ties or family connections will grant one special dispensation.'

 'And he was satisfied from the ministry’s investigations that the AGC and police had not veered from their professional impartiality.

And Attorney-General Lucien Wong? Shanmugam: “I can be categorical; there was no influence by Liew MunLeong. It was treated as any other theft case and handled accordingly.”'

There shall not be any doubt that Singapore has an impeccable and unquestionable legal system and govt, or else Singapore would not be able to look at other countries and stand tall, full of righteousness and correctness. Everyone in Singapore is treated fairly and equally under the law, even for foreigners also.

So, Parti Liyani has been treated fairly in the Singapore legal system. Anyone that has done wrong, or done her wrong, has been checked and cleared. No one that has done her wrong is free or go Scot free under the Singapore law. 

Case closed. Let's move on. No more talks of whether justice is seen to be done. Singapore has a perfect or near perfect govt and justice system that will check itself, ownself checks ownself and beyond repute. 

Singaporeans are so lucky. This is like paradise. Parti Liyani can go home now, feeling good that she has been fairy treated in Singapore.

Tan Bah Bah ended his piece by asking, 'Will there be an end to the public disquiet? A big No, unfortunately.' 

Sob, sob. It's over. It's over.

PS. The moral of the story, natural aristocrats must not try to gain differential access to the judicial system or govt system for their own advantage.  Oops, thank God none of them ever try and get caught for it.  Heng ah.

What is this?

Lawyer M Ravi, who has been representing a number of inmates on Death Row lately, said on Wednesday (Nov 4) that he had filed a suit on behalf of Gobi Avedian against the Attorney General (AG), the AG’s office, Lucien Wong and eight other Public Prosecutors.

Mr Ravi wrote: “This suit is filed on the ground of abuse of power in the manner in which the 9 prosecutors dealt with Gobi’s case”.  theindependent.sg

Trump cards to remain in the White House

The furious spate of activities in the White House in the dying days of Trump's presidency is abnormal. The way he goes about his daily schedule and of his staff as if nothing has changed  is creepy. Trump is not conceding defeat and the evil lump of lard Pompeo is embarking on a European tour to foment more hate rhetoric against China and Chinese and lying to bring in more silly national leaders to join him in his impending war against China. The urgency and need to bundle the Secretary of Defence out of his office and reappointing another Trump loyalist in this presuming last days of his presidency hint of more nebulous plans up in Trump's sleeves.

It is quite obvious that Trump is clinging on to his seat and would want to stay on in the White House comes what may. His seriousness on this matter cannot be treated likely and Biden/Kamala might be in for a rude surprise if they are blocked from entering the White House. 

The legal challenge on the validity of the election is a foregone conclusion, not going to work. More desperate measures need to be put to work if Trump is going to seize office in his undemocratic and dictatorial way. A war or major conflict domestically or with another nation cannot be ruled out.

A war with China by provoking Chinese reaction over Taiwan or in the South China Sea may be difficult to precipitate into an open war. China reads Trump like a book and would not take the bait, not when they had endured Trump's ruthlessness and recklessness for so long and it is only a few more days before the rascal is evicted from the White House.

An easier proposition would be a false flag attack on US naval ships in the Persian Gulf ala the Tonkin Incident. Iran could deny but would be in vain if the Pompeo and his hound dogs continue to bite and refuse to let go, that Iran is guilty and the one that attacked the Americans and with the western media roped in to sing the chorus.

The caveat is that Russia and China may step in and the consequences would be uninmaginable and the price too high just to stay in the White House.

A more manageable and easier conflict would be the shooting of a few blacks in the streets of America on the pretext of protesting the election. For the whites, especially the white supremacists to conduct such a vile attack would be a piece of cake. And Trump would have full control over the situation, with his fingers on the hot buttons and can press or withholding all at his finger tips.

A racial conflict on the streets with guns firing would be the most convenient excuse to bring in the National Guards and declare a state of emergency and for as long as he wants. The white extremists would be most loyal to him and would act and react as ordered by Trump, the perfect and disciplined attack dogs on harness, to be released to run loose as and when needed. They see themselves as the patriots that would save white America.

Trump should triumph in this lethal and deadly game of death and will be laughing his guts out inside the White House. Poor Biden and Kamala would have a long long time to wait in the side line or until Trump the dictator is pleased to vacate the White House. 

The world should hope that Trump would seek this last option and not drag the world into WW3. It is the lesser of the two evils.

What do you think? Never take a mad man's threat lightly and there were at least two in the White House.

The combination of Trump and Pompeo, two liars and equally evil men in the White House, is too dangerous for the Americans and the world. They would be very busy during this short span of time to blow up the world or America just to stay in power. Look at that sinister look of Pompeo when he spoke about preparing for a second term of Trump Administration. He looked so evil and slimy.

CoronaVac a likely victim of sabotaged. Another evil white men's plot.

 RIO DE JANEIRO: Brazil's health regulator said on Monday (Nov 10) it had suspended clinical trials of a Chinese-developed COVID-19 vaccine after an "adverse incident" involving a volunteer recipient, a blow for one of the most advanced vaccine candidates.

The regulator, Anvisa, said in a statement it had "ruled to interrupt the clinical trial of the CoronaVac vaccine after a serious adverse incident" on Oct 29....

CoronaVac has been caught up in a messy political battle in Brazil, where its most visible backer has been Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria, a top opponent of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro.

Bolsonaro has meanwhile labeled it the vaccine from "that other country," and pushed instead for a rival vaccine developed by Oxford University and pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca. AFP

The above report smell like a rat. The Bolsonaro govt has been anti China and out to condemn the Chinese vaccine. Now they claimed this spurious cannot be told 'adverse incident' to stop the trial of CoronaVac in Brazil that is supported  by Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria.

Who would have special vested interest to want to stop or slow down the progress of CoronaVac so that their own vaccines can move ahead? Has someone ordered Bolsonaro to act against CoronaVac?

This evil man in the same make as Trump would be a criminal if he deliberately sabotaged the vaccine trial by a hoax incident to stop the trial. The CoronaVac has been on trial in several countries and no adverse incident has been reported and suddenly this so called 'adverse incident' in Brazil to cut it down, like cutting down Huawei.

If this is the truth, Bolsonaro must be condemned as a wicked man, going against the interest of Brazilians and humanity as the vaccine is to save life and should not be politicised and becomes a victim of evil politics. Brazil has nearly 6m infections and desperately waiting for a vaccine. Bolsonaro could be condemning the Brazilians from a vaccine by his reckless and irresponsible act.

Should wait for the reports of trials in other countries to prove that this is all a black ops and you know who is behind it. No need to second guess as the competitor is an American candidate, AstraZeneca that had gone through a few bad patches earlier. Someone is trying to slow down the progress of Chinese vaccines to favour the American vaccine, like what they had done to Huawei.

The evil whites would try all ways to stop the progress of Chinese vaccines and to promote their own vaccines. They can hype and lie about how good are their white vaccines.  The test is in the pudding. The quality and truth of which vaccine is better would be put to test when they are eventually used. Fake vaccines can never be faked for long, and many innocent people could be killed by them. This is a life and death matter and no fakes is allowed to endanger the lives of the innocents.

Evil men would deserve their justice in a matter of time, just like Trump and his gangsters.

PS. Watch this observation of mine. If the cheating West is condemned to decline, the vaccines they are gloating about would turn out to be poison or ineffective, like hydroxychloroquine and remdesivir.  

China would continue to use its own vaccines and would show the world how effective they are, just like how effective China contained the spread of Covid19 in China while the West failed miserably and lost control, being overwhelmed by the virus. 

The West can continue to refuse to talk about Chinese vaccines, ignoring them, silencing them, badmouthing and even smearing them. Only time will tell and when they would have to go down on their knees to beg for Chinese vaccines.

We shall see who's vaccines would save the world.
