Are high risk activities essential to character building?

I have been bombarded with this very serious question, high risk activities essential to character building. I am not talented to answer that. First thing that came to mind is that weak, specky, bookworm nerds, with very little physical exercises and activities, physically unfit, should not be made to perform monkey tricks that required physical muscles and strength.  Just like climbing Mount Everest, the climbers need many months of gruelling physical training before making the assault on the mountain.

But I do know of one high risk activities that are worth attempting. Cheating. Cheating in exams, buying paper degrees, cheap and good, printed in good quality paper, and present them to get a good paying jobs. And know how silly the people doing the vettings are, or how lazy they are to do due diligence, the chances of getting through and landing a good paying jobs is very high.

Why risk limbs and lives trying to be better than monkeys with monkey skills that are worth nothing. What character building when one eventually lost out to the cheats with fake degrees and probably become delivery boys or security guards, or if parents got money, become Grab drivers.  These jobs do not need character building. What is character building worth if a degree is just a piece of paper, cannot be eaten?

What do you think? Waste more money learning to become monkeys, performing monkey tricks? The street smarts would not waste time or a dime on such useless skills. They would be buying their degrees and honing their skills to get through that interview or bribing their way to a good job, through their connections. No need character building, no need monkey tricks.

PS.  Maybe they are preparing them to be soldiers, or commandos....or to clean high rise buildings.  People that took unnecessary risks that they did not have to, speak a lot about their characters.

Singapore Is A Blessed Country

Singapore is so blessed! Not joking. Why?

1. Don't have to fear the Lawless States of America using the CIA to bribe the leaders into becoming stooges of the Evil Empire or initiate a regime change.

2. Don't have to fear China and the Chinese people meddle in the country's internal affairs or take over the country.

3. Don't have to worry about the military launching a military coup to topple the government like in Indonesia, Myanmar and Thailand. The military is already running the country for the past 17 years!

4. Also don't have to worry about having insufficient talents amongst the local population. All she has to do is to sign an agreement with India to import more and more degree-mills produced quickie talents (ability to get 7 certificates in six days without having to study and sit for exams - someone sits on their behalf) from India, the country that is so blessed with countless talented rapists, and corrupted police that helped covered up the rapists and their crimes, and with incomparable tongue-twisting smooth talkers.

5. Also don't need to worry that there is not enough Covid-19 infected people in the country. All she has to do is to open her legs wide-wide and invite the CECA Foreigners from India to bring in more and more of their Covid-19 infected fathers, mothers, in-laws, children and workers into Singapore to take away the jobs and occupy the houses of the local Singaporeans.

6. And if necessary, there is really no need to worry about the non-Chinese not becoming Prime Minister because the non-Chinese are already holding the highest office in the land, ie. the Presidency. On top of that, the non-Chinese are holding key and crucial ministerial posts, such as the Home Affairs Minister, the Foreign Affairs Minister, the Law Minister, as well as the Chief Justice, Treasury Chief, and the national bank DBS Chief, and the President of the Law Society.

7. Over and above that, Singapore can also easily import foreigners to become Ministers and to fill other crucial top positions in both the public and private sectors, without the need to do much searching, soul searching.

8. Also Singapore can sell away her strategic national assets such as the power stations and still not worry a single bit because she can buy power from Malaysia, just like buying water from Malaysia too. And don't need to worry about being held ransom by the nice and friendly Malaysia government.

See? How blessed Singapore is?

South China Sea - Who is aggressive/expansionist, who bullies who? A historical perspective

 The 'friendly' Americans just announced that they are creating a First Fleet to patrol and control the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. If you are thinking that they are aggressive and expansionist, you are wrong. The Asean states or American cronies would also say you are wrong.  The Americans are here to protect them. 

It is the Chinese that are aggressive and expansionist to claim the islands in the South China Sea. What about the Americans and Canadians claiming the continent of North America. the white Australians claiming the continent of Australia, the white New Zealanders claiming the two islands of New Zealand? Not expansionists, they have the rights to claim these continents and big islands, because the white Gods said so. That is white men's law, supernatural law, cannot be questioned. Is that what you are thinking?

What about the Asean states claiming the South China Sea islands, are they also aggressive and expansionists? 

Let's take a historical perspective of the claims of the South China Sea islands, who claimed first and who has more rights to these islands. For ease of understanding, let's divide the time frame into 4 periods, firstly before Colonialism, Colonialism, post Colonialism and post 1982, UNCLOS, United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea.

Pre Colonialism

Before the European colonialists invaded and colonised South East Asia, China was already an established state, an Empire ruled by various dynasties. Ownership of land, islands during this era were usually decided by conquest and occupation. What was the status of the land in the SE Asia region? Were they owned by nation states or kingdoms? Nation states they were not, a few kingdoms existed and many were undefined islands populated by tribes. There was no Indonesia as a country, or the Philippines or Malaysia or Malaya to talk about.

The islands in the South China Sea, including those in the East China Sea like the Ryukyu chains and Diaoyu Islands were visited and discovered by the Chinese dynasties and marked as part of the Chinese empires. All the islands were clearly marked and recorded especially during the Ming Dynasty in the 16th/17 Centuries. There cannot be any dispute and the non countries of SE Asia were in no position to claim these islands as theirs, and in most cases they did not even know that these islands existed.

Colonialism in SE Asia

Then came Colonialism when the European powers invaded and seized the land and islands in SE Asia as their colonies. They regarded the natives as sub humans, no right to their land. Practically all the present nation states of SE Asia were seized by the European empires. So the natives could not be making claims on South China Sea islands and ownership of these islands. In reality, these islands still belonged to the Chinese Empire, the Qing Dynasty, as the European powers did not claim them.

In 1929, China drew up the map to include the islands in the South China Sea defined by the 9 dash lines.  There was the claim of ownership on the principle of nullus soli, no man's land. This is different from the colonialists that came and claimed lands and islands even if they were occupied, like the British claiming to have found Singapore, Penang, Malaya etc etc disregarding the presence of natives. So too were Columbus claiming America ignoring the ownership by native Americans.

Post WW2

During the wars, in 1895, Japanese seized the Ryukyu Island chain and Diaoyu Islands and Taiwan as war booty from China. Japan also occupied many of the islands in the South China Sea during their invasion of Asia and SE Asia. After WW2, then Japan was to return all the islands seized from China, islands in the East China Sea and South China Sea. For political reasons and administrative convenience, the Americans retained administrative control of the Ryukyu Islands and Diaoyu Islands. The rest, including Taiwan and South China Sea Island were returned to China.

The nation states of SE Asia came into existence when given independence from the colonial powers. But the islands in the South China Sea were not an issue, and they did not claim them as theirs. they had too big a plate to handle and were busily setting up their own govts.

1982 UNCLOS

The claims of Asean states on the South China Sea islands were mainly based on the provisions of UNCLOS. But when China signed the agreement, there was an exclusion clause that excluded claims on territorial rights and integrity, ie, no change in ownership of islands.

So, how much weight is there for Asean states to claim islands that were long claimed by China? Even in 1929 when the 9 dash lines were drawn, the Asean states did not exist, they were colonies of European Empires. China had claimed these islands many centuries back. Is China the aggressive and expansionist country that is claiming islands belonging to Asean states, or Asean states are the aggressive and expansionist states claiming Chinese islands as theirs under a new UNCLOS law?

The evil and treacherous Americans and western countries kept mum about the return of these islands to China in the post war agreement in Potsdam in 1945 and Paris Agreement in 1948, and encouraging the Asean states to make claims against Chinese islands and accusing China of being aggressive, expansionist and bullying Asean states when it is the Asean states that are trying to bully China in their spurious claims based on a new law that exclude claims on territorial rights.

Who is the devil, who is aggressive and expansionist? Who is or are the bully/bullies?

Modern aggression

In the colonial days, it was the strong that bullied and took the land from the weak. It was natural for the strong to be aggressive. Today it is the reverse. The weak bullying the strong and seizing land from the strong. China only started to reclaim the islands in the South China Sea in 1988. In the 1970s, Vietnam, the Philippines and Malaysia have already started to claim the South China Sea islands and reclaiming and filling up the islands. These weaker states have no regards to the bigger country China, and claimed Chinese islands as theirs, with UNCLOS and the Americans egging them on.

Many Chinese fishing vessels were arrested especially by the Philippines and demanded ransoms for the release of fishermen and their boats. They even attacked Chinese fishing boats, sank them to the bottom of the sea. Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines even wanted to attack Chinese Coast Guards and Chinese Navy ships.

China had to be very patient with these very aggressive small states challenging her rights and seizing her fishing boats and islands.  This kind of madness has to be stopped and finally China lost her patience and put the little aggressive states in their proper place, or face being spanked. Some order has returned to the South China Sea, with the proper pecking order now in place, except for the trouble making Americans. Australia is now feeling the pain in the ass, grimacing but pretending it doesn't hurt.

Still China is smeared by the West as the aggressor, and the small aggressive states as the poor and innocent victims. If it were the evil American Empire instead of China, none of these little states would dare even to move an inch or open their big mouths.

Containing China is mission impossible

Any attempt to contain China is “mission impossible”, the country’s defence ministry warned the US on Thursday, as the Biden administration works to shore up its Asian alliances against Beijing.

Military tensions between the two superpowers worsened under former US President Donald Trump, who adopted an aggressive stance on regional flashpoints such as Taiwan and the South China Sea. AFP

The evil rogue American Empire is at it again, trying to control and contain the rise of China. This evil Empire has been in this game since it became the number one super power after WW2.  It went about building military alliances to contain the growth of the USSR and communist countries with NATO, CENTO and SEATO, to encircle the USSR, China, Vietnam and North Korea. It was successful in bringing down and breaking up the Soviet Union in 1991.

This evil Empire does not believe in peaceful co existence. Countries are either with them or against them. And to be with them, countries must accept the Empire and adopt its form of fake democracy and fake human rights that it did not practise in homeland USA. Historically and factually, the USA is the biggest violator of human rights and the practitioner of fake democracy. Just ask what happened to the native Americans and the blacks and coloured people in the USA, even today with the whites killing the blacks freely as if it is a right.

Many countries are forced into abject poverty by the sanctions and containment of the evil American Empire, not allowed to participate in international trade, forced into isolation, and this evil country could claim that these victimised countries chose to isolate themselves from the international community.

Countries like North Korea, Cuba, Iran, now Venezuela and several Latin American countries and Asian and African countries are still locked out of the international trading system by this evil Empire.

Why can't this evil Empire just let other countries to live the way they want, choose their own leaders and political and economic system? Did not this evil Empire talk about freedom of choice, freedom to elect their leaders in what they called democracy?

Why can't this evil Empire just spend its money and resources to build a better country, a better system and a better life for its people and those they chose to adopt its way of life and political system and let others choose their own if different from the evil Empire? Would it not be better to do their best in creating a better system for the rest of the world to admire and to choose instead of sending their warships and soldiers everywhere to fight wars of oppression and kill innocent people and destroy countries that did not want to follow the rogue American way?

The evil Empire has been conducting wars of oppression and destruction since the end of WW2 till now and not stopping. And it claims to be a free country, a protector of democracy and freedom of choice and human rights when it is doing everything against these ideals?

What is wrong with China choosing its own economic and political system? China is not forcing any country to be like China and not imposing its system on the rest of the world. China is actually practising freedom of choice, respecting the rights of countries to be free and to choose their own political and economic system unlike the hypocritical evil American Empire that do not allow others the freedom to choose.

Stop the white lies and let the rest of the world be free to be what they want, to choose how to run their countries and manage their economies. Stop the wars, stop the oppression, sanctions, isolation of countries that do not want the evil American ways.

China is showing the rest of the world that there are alternative ways, alternative path to economic prosperity for its people.  China's rise is not through wars or conquest or killings like what the western powers did, like what this evil American Empire is doing, wars, wars and killing and more killings. The Americans would destabilise countries to keep them in trouble, dysfunctional and poor.

The Chinese way is a better way, but China is not forcing anyone to choose. It is the evil American Empire that is forcing every country to choose. And those that chose not to go the American way would be crushed. This is how pretentious, how hypocritical and how deceitful the Americans are. Free world, free to choose? My foot!

The evil American way is the way to destruction like what they forced upon the Middle Eastern countries, and the poverty they imposed on those countries they sanctioned and locked out from the international community and world trade. The American way is about oppressing and suppressing others from becoming better. Instead of competing to become better, it seeks to destroy others to preserve its dominance over others. They are the warmongers, the trouble makers of the world.

Countries of the world can choose to follow the evil Americans into more wars and more death and destruction, or to follow China to grow their economies for the betterment of their people.

PS.  Look at how the evil Empire is containing the export of vaccines to the rest of the world that it preaches to protect... It is all about their own interest, America First, Covid19 vaccines only for the Americans, not for the rest of the world. Are the dummies listening?

The war to get vaccines for their own people is getting hot with Europe being left out, with the bulk of the vaccines going to Americans and Brits. The European countries are getting very angry and impatient and have turned to Russian and Chinese vaccines. Any vaccines that work is ok, now that their chances of getting the American and British vaccines is slipping away.

White racist Americans continue to bully and ill treat the blacks

 It was reported that burly, more than 6 foot tall white rogues, in police uniforms, attacked a 9 year old black girl, claiming that she was threatening to harm her parents and herself. They dragged her into a police car and continued to pepper spray the young girl, a 9 year old child. 

Can you believe that several burly 6 footers, well trained white policemen could not handle a 9 year old black girl and had to handcuff her and subjected her to pepper spray while she was handcuffed and inside a police car? What was that for? Abuse of power or pure bullying of blacks, and in this case a 9 year old child, a girl? It is racism. It is against human rights.

This can only happen in America, a highly racist country that has swept this racism against the blacks, still treating them like the slaves of yore, sub humans, to be abused and beaten and killed as and when they liked it.  And their media covered up most of these ill treatments and atrocities against the blacks by not reporting them if not discovered.

And the white supremacist rogues went all over the world talking about human rights, democratic rights, individual rights, freedom and rule of law! And they not only preached to the world, but lectured and accused other countries of abusing human rights and cruelties to their minorities.

Keep on misbehaving like white rogues. In this era you cannot get away with your crimes today or committed in the past. The worse genocide ever committed against the human race, on the native Americans, killing as many as 100m according to some of their own recorded history, and got the cheek to fabricate lies about genocide in Xinjiang when the population of Uyghurs is increasing and easily outnumbered the few native Indians still alive in the reservations.

And what kind of cruelties against another human bean can be worse than hunting down black Africans like wild animals to be chained and transported to America as slaves, to work just to be able to live without being paid and subject to all kinds of cruelties, beating and lynching, and systemic rape of the women folks as a white privilege over their slaves.

Today, the blacks are still treated with disdain and to be killed freely in the streets of America by white rogues called white policemen, in the name of the law.

These are American white lies laid out bare for the world to see today, thanks to the invention of social media, blogs, tweets, facebooks, tiktoks etc etc. The evil white supremacist Americans can no longer hide their crimes against the blacks and humanity all over the world.

Now they are going after the North Koreans, no nuclear weapons or else, white the Americans continue to acquire more deadly new nuclear weapons to threaten and to use against other nation states. 

The British, after leaving EU, are now free to be the American barking dog. They have fabricated a story of systemic rape in Xinjiang prison, another white lie that colonialists were used to do. They have even cancelled the licence of CGTN in UK. These white trouble makers are out to destroy China everyday and by all means.  China should reciprocate by cancelling the licence of BBC and cut down trade with Britain just like they did to Australia.  Without the EU, without China, this little island would be gasping for air, would have to beg the Americans and its 5 eyes partners for bread.

China, just do it. You have nothing to lose dealing with these white scums with an anti China agenda. The Indians are doing very well taking over the former colonies of Britain in the Indian Ocean and Africa and on the way to take over Britain and maybe the USA as well. The Asians, Africans, Arabs and Latinos should work together as a bloc not to trade with the 5 eyes countries and work towards taking these lands back for the natives. The whites are very good in creating blocs to attack Asian, African, Arab and Latin American states. Learn from the whites, build a bloc to block the sunlight out of the evil 5 eyes countries.

England was just a little island when it took over the major parts of the world. Why can't the rest of the world take over the 5 eyes countries? It is a matter political will and organisation to make it happen, to stop these evil white countries from dictating to the world, creating trouble for the world, divide and rule the world.

The wind of change is here. They are gradually being crippled by Covid19 and would not come out from it without losing an arm or a leg. Time for a reverse colonisation of the Anglo Saxon tribes by their victims, a combined people from the rest of the world. They are now on their own, without EU to be on their side.
