Australia's 14 sins against China but called China a bully when China kicked their ass

 

China has stopped buying from Australia.  China was the top buyer of Australian products to the tune of billions annually, more than 25% of Australian exports go to China. The money the Australians are making from China would make many countries drooling. Instead of saying thank you to China, the silly Australians kept taking pot shots at China, treating China as enemy number One. Now their economy is tanking, many of their exporters are crying as there are no takers that could absorb the volumes they were selling to China.

And what did the Australian govt say? China is bullying Australia? The silly bananas in TRE also echoed this sentiment. China is a bully, aggressive and assertive. Did they know what caused China to kick Australian asses? Did they know how provocative, aggressive and obnoxious the Australians were, pushing and attacking at China when China was pouring money into Australia, investing in Australia without any political consideration or pressure for the Australian to take sides with China against the Americans? Instead, the Americans told the Australians to choose and take sides and the white racist Australians happily chose to attack and curb Chinese investments in Australia and accused China of forcing the Australians to take sides, and bullying them. The bullying of China was so ridiculous, a silly little white brat thinking it could kick China under the belt. 

Below is a list of 14 crimes or sins the Australians committed before China said enough is enough and had to teach the white monkeys a lesson in respect and good behaviour. The source is from Godfree Roberts' 'Here Comes China' site. And for all these crimes, China was acting like good customer, a good investors, dumping billions into Australia and the Australians laughing to the bank. But these foolish white monkeys are so ungrateful, thinking that China was meek and could be bullied and kicked around, thinking that they are so powerful, the sheriff of SE Asia. Next would be New Zealand and Canada to swallow their pride and say sorry, before the sneaky Britain's turn to be kicked in the ass.


Australian leaders and media have vilified, calumniated, and threatened the PRC since I was a lad, but their recent behavior was so egregious that China has indicted them for their worst offenses:

  1. Foreign investment decisions, with acquisitions blocked on opaque national security grounds in contravention of ChAFTA. Since 2018, more than 10 Chinese investment projects have been rejected by Australia citing ambiguous and unfounded "national security concerns" and restricting areas like infrastructure, agriculture and animal husbandry.
  2. Banning Huawei Technologies and ZTE from the 5G network, over unfounded national security concerns, doing the bidding of the US by lobbying other countries, foreign interference legislation viewed as targeting China and in the absence of evidence.
  3. Politicization and stigmatization of the normal exchanges and cooperation between China and Australia and creating barriers and imposing restrictions, including the revocation of visas for Chinese scholars.
  4. Calling for an international independent inquiry into the COV1D-19 virus, as a political manipulation echoing the US attack on China.
  5. Incessant wanton interference in China's Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and Taiwan affairs.
  6. Spearheading the crusade against China in multilateral forums
  7. The first non littoral country to make a statement on the South China Sea to the United Nations, siding with the US' anti-China campaign
  8. Spreading disinformation imported from the US around China's efforts of containing COV1D-19.
  9. Legislating scrutiny of agreements with a foreign government targeting China and aiming to torpedo Victoria’s participation in B&R
  10. Providing funding to anti-China think tanks for spreading untrue reports, peddling lies around Xinjiang and so-called China infiltration aimed at manipulating public opinion against China
  11. Early dawn search and reckless seizure of Chinese journalists' homes and properties without charges or explanations. (Raiding of homes of pro China Australian politicians)
  12. Thinly veiled allegations against China of cyber attacks without any evidence 
  13. Outrageous condemnation of the governing party of China by NGOs 
  14. Racist attacks against Chinese and Asian people. Unfriendly and antagonistic reports on China by media that poison the atmosphere of bilateral relations 


Relationship

Between 2015-2020, China lowered tariffs on Australian products for six consecutive years. Ninety-five percent of the products we sell to China now enjoy zero tariffs. On Singles Day alone, 2,000 Australian businesses sold over US$720 million worth of goods to Chinese customers in 24 hours–yet the Australian government has been politicizing trade and investment issues, and constantly violating market principles by discriminating against Chinese companies.  Source: Here Comes China

 

Still want to bully China? Look into the mirror and know your place in the changing history of geopolitics of the world. The Australian hypocrisy and double talk, that China was the bully and aggressor would only be white lies that only white racists would believe. Also the unthinking silly bananas. Want to sail your antique warships to threaten China in the South China Sea? Remember who set your submarine free when its propeller was entangled by fishing nets?

China must lead the rest of the world to help the natives take back Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hawaii and the USA from the white racist thieves.  China can also help the Japanese and South Koreans to free themselves from the clutches of the Americans and become free and independent countries, not semi colonies of the Americans.

Malaysian Political Intrigues In A Nutshell

 SSO said... Malaysian Political Intrigues In A Nutshell

Malaysia has lost its direction. The present leadership is very weak.

The coalition of political parties to hold power by sharing power seldom work well. It is uncanny and strange that it can still hold together.

I think the Malaysian King (Sultan) is behind all the manipulations. He simply cannot and does not want to give consent to Anwar to ascend to the Premiership.

The fact that Anwar has received a royal pardon, and accepted it so willingly, means that Anwar cannot now claim that he was not guilty of sodomy, which he has been trying to do so even after being convicted for the second time. As such, in the King's eye, Anwar cannot be allowed to become the Prime Minister of Malaysia. He is taboo. Anyone else is still better than him.

Sodomy is taboo in Malay and Muslim tradition and culture. Public officials cannot commit the crime and still hold political leadership office. This is the bottom line. This has sealed the fate of Anwar Ibrahim's ambition to become the next Prime Minister of Malaysia forever. Even Anwar himself could have realized it. That's why he looks so agonized and desperate.

UMNO is trying very hard to make a comeback. It can only do so by making all ruling party leadership and administration look weak and directionless, as it is at present.

In addition, for UMNO to return to power, Najib Razak's 1MDB fiasco has to be quickly done with. The 1MDB fiasco has tarnished UMNO irreparably. The longer this fiasco drags on, the more difficult it is for UMNO to return to power. Therefore, it has no choice but to go for second options, which is to become the puppet master, pulling the strings from behind and above the screen. This is what it is doing now. This is what it can and will do for the time being, into the uncertain future.

As the present unassuming PM is doing just nice, not too good but also not too bad. UMNO has to jump onto his bandwagon and ride along as a free-rider, as well as the puppet master.

PAS is eager to be involved in the governing, if given a chance because for the past donkey years that it was in existence, it has never been able to hold any governing positions. This time around, it is going to make inroads into the Malaysian governing body, so that it can at least be a factor to be reckoned with. Therefore, it will sleep in bed with any other political party that has the best chance to form the government, except Anwar's party. Because, as an Islamic party, it cannot openly be seen as condoning and supporting someone who has been convicted of sodomy twice. However, if Anwar is out of the way, PAS may also consider an alliance with PKR.

Going forward, as long as Anwar is the leader of PKR, there is very slim chance for it to gain enough votes to form the next Malaysian government. His wife would have done better, as she has shown while Anwar was in jail.

I, therefore, venture to predict that UMNO will eventually rule Malaysia again.

Old habits die hard. After 60 years under UMNO rule, the majority of Malaysians have become used to its style of governing. At least about half of the Chinese and Indian voters prefer UMNO than PKR or any other parties to be the government. Especially so after the collapse of Dr Mahathir's second premiership, due to his own idiosyncrasies and a series of miscalculations, culminating in his own resignation, a very costly self-snooks-self misadventure. From that day onwards, Dr Mahathir's time is up. No matter how he tries now, very few Malaysian voters would want to give him a third chance to be in power again. He is spent.

In conclusion, Malaysia is now in the crossroads of political re-orientation, re-alignment and re-adjustments. It will take at least another five years for things to straighten out. This is a very trying time. It will take a trying premier to try whatever he can try, in order to disentangle the mess in the whole political system of Malaysia.

Asean - Can Asean look after its own security and territory?

 The Americans are planning to take over the India Ocean and western Pacific Ocean as part of the American Empire by creating a First Fleet of American warships to patrol and control the region bounded by the two oceans. This aggressive expansionist move by the Americans have been met with silence from the Asean states that are about to come under a new Imperial power, to be subjugated into semi colonies of the American Empire. This is not a rumour.  The new temp Secretary of Defence, Christopher Miller, has confirmed the plan and its execution.

The fate of the Asean states are as good as sealed. Their seas around them would be patrolled and controlled by the American First Fleet, to protect them and keep them safe, from who? Not the Americans of course, as the Americans are the protectors, the Empire and they are now part of the Empire.

Why is it that the region needs to be protected by the American Empire? Who is going to invade and colonise the Asean countries? China? China had never done that even during the peak of its naval power in the 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th Century under the Ming Dynasty. The Chinese Fleet under the command of Admiral Zheng He came, visited the region and as far as Africa but never attack or colonise any of the Asean countries that were then very small kingdoms at best. They were not nation states like we know today, no Malaysia or Indonesia but scattered islands with their village or tribal chiefs.

Only in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries when the European colonial powers came were the islands and land in the region conquered and colonised and became colonies of the white men. Asean countries only became independent nation states after WW2 when they were given independence, some fought for it, by the white colonial powers. Now another white colonial power is coming in, raising a strawman in China as the aggressive power wanting to colonise the Asean states and walked in as the new Imperial or Colonial power of the region. Yes, the white men are going to colonise and rule the Asean region again on the pretext that the Asean countries are incapable to looking after themselves and needed their protection militarily, with warships and gunboats.

Are the Asean countries unable to protect themselves and need become American protectorates? Is China really a threat, wanting to conquer and take over the Asean states? Or is the same white wolf, now in sheep skin, is the real threat and marching in to take over control of the region? What is the truth? Who is the real aggressor and expansionist power wanting to control the region?

The earlier colonial powers had come and left. The American Empire came and had stayed in South Korea and Japan.  They wanted to stay on in Vietnam but were driven out after a long protracted and destructive war in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. They are still clinging to their bases in South Korea and Japan, refusing to give up the bases, and with agreements with these two semi colonies that in times of war, both their armed forces would come under the command of the American Commander in Chief. The Americans based the HQ of its Seventh Fleet in Yokosuka, Japan.

It was a stroke of good luck that the Philippines were able to dislodge the American bases from their country. Now some quarters in the Philippines are toying with the idea of reinviting the Americans to set up their bases there again. This time if it happens again, they can forget about the Americans leaving again. 

Would Asean countries meekly accept the fate that the American Empire is coming in to rule over them, to be their protector, that they cannot look after their own defence against a fictitious enemy created by the Americans? Once the First Fleet is formed and moved into the region, Asean would be forever 'safe' as protectorates of the American Empire. They would be as safe as the Afghans with Australian soldiers running wild in their land, and as safe as Libya, Iraq and Syria, with their new colonial masters, the Americans.

Who in Asean would dare to stand up to oppose the American military presence in the region? Which country would dare to say no now that the Americans have officially declared that they are coming in, like they are flirting in the South China Sea?

Who is the threat to Asean independence, self ruled and neutrality? Some American cronies would not mind being ruled by the Americans for sure. As they said, silence is consent.  The Americans have flown the balloon to test the reaction of Asean states and the signal they are getting is that it is ok to take over the region as part of the American Empire. The Americans would soon be here to dominate the Asean countries and region.

Did the Asean countries remember who invaded them, who colonised them, who plundered and looted their countries, who robbed off their dignities as human beans? Did Vietnam remember who did carpet bombing in their country, who sprayed Agent Orange on their land? Did the Philippines remember who massacred their forefathers? What about Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar etc etc?

DBS-LVB Deal - Was It Make Hay While The Sun Shines Or Make Haste While Neglecting Due Diligence?

 1984 George Orwell said... DBS-LVB Deal - Was It Make Hay While The Sun Shines Or Make Haste While Neglecting Due Diligence?

India's news media have reported that Subramanian Swami (SS), an Indian MP of the ruling BJP party, has asked the Modi government to put the Lakshmi Vilas Bank deal with DBS India on hold, in order to facilitate a forensic audit of the takeover of the assets of LVB by DBS.

SS also called for an examination of the allegations on money laundering made against DBS internationally and in Singapore.

In his letter to PM Modi, Swami said, “What is amazing is that RBI had sought objections from stakeholders which were to be filed by the close of business hours on November 20, 2020, effectively giving less than 72 hours for them to respond.”

Several stakeholders had raised objections to the deal. However, the RBI forwarded the draft proposal for Cabinet’s approval in great haste on November 25, without factoring any such objections. The merger came into effect two days later, on November 27.

Swami alleged that the haste with which RBI carried out the LVB-DBS merger, the unprecedented and unreasonable terms under which the bond and shareholders’ interest have been written off, and the arbitrary manner in which DBS Bank India was chosen without going through any standard operating procedure, raise serious questions on the functioning and integrity of India’s Central Bank, RBI.

Swami said there is a serious flaw in the functioning of RBI and lack of accountability inside the Indian Central Bank.

It must be noted that DBS India has already received capital infusion of Rs2,500 crore (S$450 million) from DBS Bank Singapore, as stipulated in the hasty LVB-DBS Merger Agreement.

Comments:

1. Anything done in haste is bound to lead to serious flaws because a thorough and careful feasibility study cannot be diligently executed in that time frame.

2. Anyone or any government body proposing an agreement to be signed in haste must be subject to serious scrutiny and suspicion.

3. Anyone jumped into such hasty agreement is essentially an impatient and reckless person, especially when such a big and risky business deal is being considered.

4. Any government that condoned and supported such a hasty and reckless decision is not only careless but also negligent and irresponsible.

Has the outstanding Singapore government become careless, negligent and irresponsible lately, because too many foreigners-turned-citizens holding important, influential, key and top positions are actively and actually influencing government decisions and policies to the detriment of Singapore's strategic interests?

What is a threat? Who is the threat? Who is the greatest threat to the world?

Who is a threat, what is a threat? This concept of threat is a trade mark of American hegemony. The Americans have been declaring this country and that country as a threat to them. Can anyone visualise how little countries or poor farmers in Afghanistan or some poor country be a threat to the biggest and most powerful Empire in history? Can North Korea or Iran really be a threat to the Americans even if they have a handful of nuclear weapons? Would they dare to use them knowing that the return fire from the American nuclear arsenal would cook every one of their citizens alive and their countries turned into Stone Age?

The Americans have been using this term, threat, as a convenient tool to demonise a country and set it up for attacks and persecution, trade and economic sanctions and invasion.  When the Americans declared a country as a threat, the poor country be very frighten, as the Americans are going to attack them in one way of another. They would be very lucky if it is just trade and economic sanctions. They would not die in an invasion, killed by bombs, but allowed to continue to live in poverty, cut from from the world in trade and economic activities. Most  of the time this threat is an outright American lie, an American mischief to do evil, to start wars, to kill as and when they like it.

So far only the Americans are telling the world who and who is a threat to the American Empire, using the western media to spread this evil edict. No country would dare to tell the world that the Americans are a threat to them. But the whole world knows that the Americans are the most evil, fearsome and deadly threat to countries that did not obey the Emperor in the White House and would be destroyed or diminished. 

While the Americans are lying to the world that small and weak countries are a threat to the Americans, an American myth, a white lie that no one believes, every country knows that the real threat to them and to the world is the evil American Empire. It is a case of an Emperor without clothes but no one dares to utter aloud that the Emperor is naked.

Once again, who is the greatest threat to the world, to world peace? No answers, but the answer is obvious. The evil Americans. America's security is the world's insecurity. They are using the security threat to threaten and control and dominate the world.

Once again, is there any smaller countries that is a threat to the American security? The answer, from the Americans, they would be bombed to the Stone Age in minutes. Is that a good answer?
