Duterte taken for a ride by China? The writers think they are smarter than Duterte

‘They’re taking him for a ride’: Has Philippines gained from Duterte’s China pivot?

In 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte warmed to Beijing in exchange for investments. But so far, only a fraction of the billions of dollars pledged have materialised. The programme Insight asks if his China policy has come to naught....

The centrepiece of the Duterte administration’s economic policies is the “Build, Build, Build” (BBB) programme, which consists of some 20,000 infrastructure projects including airports, seaports and highways.

With China’s funding touted as the best option for upgrading the country’s infrastructure, the Philippines was set to usher in a “golden age of infrastructure”.

But less than five per cent of China’s promised US$24 billion (S$32 billion) in loans and investments have come to fruition. “They’re taking Duterte for a ride,” says political analyst and author Richard Heydarian.

The above article in CNA on 19 Dec 20 was written by Desmond Ng and Sumithra Prasanna. 

20,000 infrastructure projects, according to the writers, are bad for Philippines as it would lead to debt traps. The poor tourist guides, small farmers and street vendors would lose their jobs. They would like to continue their way of life and what Duterte is going to do, to bring in China to develop the Philippines with 20,000 projects is not good for the Philippines people. Duterte must be damn stupid or a traitor to the Pinoys. How could he want to spend to much money, stupidly let his country into a debt trap to destroy the Philippines. So the white men are saying and some silly writers also agreed.

And China is making it tough in the negotiation, wanting to make sure that the projects are commerciall viable and would not lead into debt traps? And this is bad of China. China should blindly just build and let Philippines ended in debt traps so that the white men can accuse China of wrongdoings. So clever.

China should not waste its time, resources and money to rebuild the Philippines. The Pinoys are happy where they are. Duterte also should not try to be smart to want to develop the Philippines into a modern state. The Pinoys don't like that.

Also, from the point of China, Duterte would not be the President for long and the next president would want to be pro America and enemy of China. How is China going to pump in millions and billions of dollars into the Philippines when it knows that any day the Pinoy govt would change and become hostile to China, cancelling all the projects and not paying? 

What would you do if you were in the shoes of China? Pour in money that is not welcomed? And the ordinary Pinoys would not appreciate and did not want them? They are waiting for the American saviours to save the Philippines and sell them more weapons to be the strongest military power in Asean and to start a war with China.

Now who are the silly ones? Duterte? Not to worry, the Americans have been in the Philippines before, ruling the Philippines for several decades and they know what the Pinoys want and would make the Pinoys very happy. And when Duterte is gone, the Pinoys can go dancing with the Americans again and enjoy lives servicing the American troops as tourist guides and bar boys and waitresses and street vendors, and no 20,000 projects that they did not want, that are bad for them.

Chinese projects would affect the lives of these Pinoys badly. They cannot continue to be street vendors or tourist guides. Picture from CNA
 Maybe the Americans can take over these projects and build them for free for the Pinoys and no debt traps. Even if they were to get American loans, they would definitely be cheaper than Chinese loans. Good luck to the Pinoys.

Private hires - the risk we allowed our loved ones to be exposed to

 

Stepping into a car of a stranger is getting very common today with private hires all over the islands. How many parents would warn their children, especially the girls, not to go out with strangers, not to talk to strangers, but are willing to let their girls, wives, to enter a car with strangers that could be just waiting for them to rob, molest or rape them?  The thought is so scary and the pain is unacceptable and could ruin the lives of the victims. Some may even lose their lives because of this reckless act of allowing it to happen and hoping for the best, that all is well. It is so dangerous but allowed by the govt with barely any controls or checks. Once in the car, the victim is totally at the mercy of the driver. Imagine your wife or daughter is in the car now, driven by a stranger to a secluded spot, to be molest, raped and robbed or beaten?

The recent reports of private hires out just to molest and rape the females, not to fetch them from point A to point B, is too much to take and to think that the authority is still taking this so lightly. Never mind, only a few cases. Can you believe that is the thinking of people in charge of the safety of your loved ones? One case is too much, not talking about 15 to 18 cases a year and many went unreported.

Would the govt do something about this, NOW? Regulations is a must to protect our loved ones and the fairer sex from falling easy prey to the criminals waiting for them to step into their cars. To think that it is now so easy to prey on the females for sex with the victims unwarily and voluntarily walking into their cars that the govt allows it to happen is shocking and totally irresponsible.

Some people need a source of income. Fair. But the govt cannot say it cannot do anything about it, would not to anything about it, would not legislate it when the safety of our loved ones are at stake. At the very least the drivers must be registered and vetted before being allowed on the road to prey on the victims. It is not a fool proof solution but at least it would reduce the odds and put the potential criminals on notice that they are being watched.

The ordeals of the victims as reported are so sickening, so hapless in the confines of a car with a criminal wanting to harm them and there is no way to get out and no one to help them. How can this continue to go on and the govt doing nothing about it? Millionaires with super talents must have some brains to think of a solution to prevent such situations to continue, immediately. Do not wait till your loved ones are harmed to regret that you have not done the proper thing when you could. Ok, millionaires would not exposed their loved ones to such situations as they have their own private vehicles to bring them around safely. It is the peasants that would be taking the risk. Nothing to worry about, no need to rush to do anything. The statistics said it is quite safe, only a few cases a year.  Acceptable risk. The victims just blame it on bad luck. Might as well say the victims are willing to as they know the risk?

What do you think? How many of you think it is safe to allow your vulnerable loved ones to enter a car with an unknown stranger? 

The stupidity has no cure sickness in Singaporeans is getting worse. Taking things for granted, not thinking and believing everything is safe and sound. How many of the drivers are out there waiting to pounce on the weak fairer sex that willingly walked into their cars?

Two dumb blonds making their countries sick

 Trump claimed to want to make America great again but his every move was to make America sicker. America is now the Sick Man of America. 

Across the Atlantic Ocean, Boris was also swept to power by the daft Brits, or was it that there was no more talented man in Britain, and Boris was seen as the best man, just like Trump, to lead his country to the ground? The latest, Britain is now called the Sick Man of Europe.

Two dumb blonds did it, bringing down their countries without knowing why while thinking that they had done a damn good job when no one else could do better. Here is a pic of the two dumb blonds sharing there great plans to bring down their respective countries. The only saving grace for Britain is that Boris may not be bright but not as bad as the crooked Trump, a conman, a liar, a cheat and everything else that is bad. Only an America destined to be doomed deserved such a clown to be its president. Maybe it is inevitable, like they said, he was sent by God to end the evil American Empire.

Two dumb Trumps. Trump called Johnson Britain's Trump.

Covid19 Vaccine - How to drug or poison a civilisation to end its existence?

The closest event of poisoning or drugging a people to kill them was the genocide of the native Indians when the early white migrants put on the pretence of kindness, offering blankets and clothing tainted with European diseases to them. Under such deceit of kindness and generosity, the victims would often put down their guards and accept the gift in good faith only to their demise.  For a party to intentionally do such a devious act, by force, to a whole people, would be difficult and unthinkable.

The Japanese had a biochemical lab in Manchuria during WW2 named Unit 731 where they forcefully injected poisons and chemicals on their victims made up of mainly Chinese, Koreans and Russians. They could do it on a small number of people at a time.  They also did that to some Chinese villages to kill them en mass. But to do that on a national scale to kill the whole Chinese population or in a big scale would be difficult unlike the case of native Americans.

The next closest form of such a hideous act was the selling of opium to the Chinese population by the British in the 19th Century. Here it was not by force initially but by deceit that it was a wonderful drug and the Chinese fell for it, thus is a way willingly consuming the drug with no compulsion, a willing victim.

The Americans also spread some of these toxic staff in North Korea and Vietnam, Agent Orange and Purple Rain, and achieved some results on a limited scale on the North Koreans and Vietnamese.

There are two elements to the success of mass drugging or poisoning, deceit and a willingness by the victims to accept the drug or poison. It is unlikely that such a wicked plan could be introduced in modern civilisation when the people are much well informed of the danger of drugs and poison, though still many would still consume drugs by self deception or delusion that the drugs are safe and would not kill them.

Today the world is experimenting with a new drug, called vaccine, for Covid19.  This is a new experimental drug, not sure how thorough is the research on its side effects or harm that it might inflict on the users. The two biggest white nations, UK and US, are promoting the use of these vaccines using a new technology involving splicing and manipulating DNA/RNA.  Some trials have been done on small samples of volunteers and only a few months have passed and the vaccines are approved for emergency use, for desperate countries like the US and UK. But many other countries that are not so desperate are also rushing in, buying these vaccines in the millions for their people instead of the traditional proven vaccines that used deactivated Covid19 virus to induce a response to build up anti bodies in the recipients.

All is good if the western vaccines eventually proved themselves to be worthy and effective without major side effects. What if, what if the side effects would appear after a longer span of time, maybe a year, or several years down the line, when the human body reacts with the RNA and new DNAs evolved leading to mutants being created? What the crazy Bolsonaro of Brazil said about man turning into crocodiles or woman growing beard or whatever that were not supposed to happen may be wild and hilarious and not likely to happen. What if?

Today, many American leaders are cutting queues to be first to be vaccinated with the new vaccines to set an example, to build confidence that the vaccines are safe, some really believed so and jumping queues to be the first to be protected. What if a few years down the line things untoward start to happen, when the recipients of such vaccines developed into other forms, or their DNA got hacked by the RNA introduced into their bodies from the vaccines? If these new vaccines turned foul and bad in the future, it would be a classic case of human civilisation willingly accepting the vaccines to destroy themselves en mass, not by force, not by deceit, but by misinformation or lack of in depth research and information about the vaccines. Vaccines not given sufficient time to play itself out to prove what it could or could not do but impregnated into healthy human beans that eventually lead to the end of civilisation is still fictional. Ok, such a scenario is quite far fetch and likely not to happen. The manufacturers and scientists are willing to vouch for the safety of these vaccines, including Trump that still refused to be vaccinated. Manufacturers insisted that liabilities are waived for their used. It was reported that some employees of manufacturers of these vaccines refused to take them. Trump called it is the best Christmas present.

Word of caution, the normal test period for a vaccine before being approved for sale is 3 to 4 years. This is the time needed to make sure the vaccine is fairly safe. The western vaccines are now trumpeted to be safe after less than a year, approved by warp speed. So take care. Some side effects can take longer to appear.

My contention is, what if? The vaccines are very new and not fully tested.  That is a fact. Singapore has taken a prudent approach. It is voluntary. There are other well tested options available.

PS. China did not rush the trials of its vaccines.  And these were conducted by independent national bodies outside China, not by the Chinese manufacturers.  Turkey is a Nato member and used to be hostile to China but conducted the trial and concluded that it is safe and 91% effective. Many Middle East countries are using the Chinese vaccines, including Indonesia and Latin America and African countries.
