Part 5 - The Dragon has been awakened. Written by : Lim Yu Book

 

How do the rest of the world see China today?

Far away in Africa and Central America, the China and the Chinese they notice or understand come in the form of images of quiet and hardworking technicians who are putting up infrastructures in their towns or running the mines in their outback. The West is saying that the Chinese are there to strip Africa's resources. Yes, the minerals are being mined and stacked at ports waiting for shipment to China. But do the Chinese exploit them like what the colonial powers had done? Remember how King Leopold 11 of Belgium was to the Africans? And the number of slaves that were ended up in America's cotton fields?

Come on, Americans and Europeans, you should not just parrot what your government and armchair journalists said about genocide or forced labour to China! You need to go there you want to know the truth.

Waking up China''''''

Samuel Huntington talks about the looming clash of civilisations ( 2003 ). His argumen, if I remember correctly , is based on the incompatibility that he sees in many aspects of the cultures of the nine distinct civilisations that he has mapped out. I supposed he was more alarmed about the widening of the value gap between the Judah-Christian West and the Islamic world than the rest. That was the prevailing concern then; for Islam was increasingly seen as the new world destabilizing force. The emergence of China was not apparent then.

However, after the ascension of Obama, the pivot was shifted to a rising China. Only two civilisations are in danger of clashes - the Western led by the US and China's.That need to check China became Trump's political capital. And instead of rationalizing the whole need, Biden went on to build on it. He wants to outdo Trump, lest he becomes a one-term president.

The clarion call has been issued. At one corner is the US's brand evangelism, and at the corner is the reluctant China, guided by its Before-Christ, principally Confucian philosophy.

Had Trump and Biden not burned the Dragon's whiskers, China would have been content to just plod on to fulfill its xiao-kang or "moderately comfortable" ambition. From time immemorial, save the century of humiliation in the 1800s to 1900s, China had always been an advanced nation of the time, but it had never wanted to go beyond the Himalayas in its southwest, the Steppes and deserts in its west and north, and the seas in its east. It was an agricultural nation! People have to till the land! It built the Great Wall to deter the constant threat posed by the Mongols and the central Asian tribes. If Chinese had the Western mindset , many parts of Southeast Asia, Australiia and East Africa would have been China's colonies for a long time. The three hundred years after the Ming Dunasty was an aberration in China's nature to better themselves.

Now China realizes it needs more than its formidability in supply-chains to do so. It cannot count on anyone anymore. It has to build its own capabilities in chip-making, advanced jet engines, military and space explorations among others. The US is going all out to choke off China in all these fronts, particularly the chip supplies. But it fails to basically understand this reality: many of the scientists and engineers in chip-making industries, from machines to design to production are ethnically Chinese. Now that China has made up its mind to be self-sufficient in this field , it is only a matter of time this DNA would return to China and help make it the No 1 in this technology.

Ditto on military capabilities. The way the US is rallying its partners to demonstrate their naval power right in front of Chinese doorsteps - all in the name of navigational freedom and "protect" Taiwan - forces China to invest in defence and space capabilities and to strengthen its resolve to take back Taiwan. Had the West and Japan not been encouraging Taiwan to go independent, China would have been happy to allow Taiwan to prosper under the one- country-two systems arrangements. And Hong Kong would not have to pass those laws to ward off western hypocrisy.

America is seeing a Chinese ghost everywhere it goes. It is gripped by hallucinations. And this has made its policy totally incoherent. So far only Canada, the UK, Japan, Australia and some minion countries in Europe are happy to become America's blood brothers. Much of the rest of the world is paying lip service. They simply must think where the food on the family table is going to come from.

Whereas Trump's focus was on trade and technology, Biden's is all out blockades. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken is like an ant on a hot plate - right behind Wang Yi everywhere the latter went. But he is not achieving much of what Biden has asked. Wendy Sherman looked ill at ease in China, despite her formidable reputation. Llyod Austin looks as clumsy , he simply does not know the protocols. A case in point is their visit to the ASEAN countries. There is a cultural wisdom in these countries, having lived side by side with China for hundreds of years . America has never paid much attention to them, and now they are trying to woo them to its cause or mission. These countries have millions of people of Chinese decent in their midst. They are loyal to their respective countries , but many are also proud of the civilization they belong to. And they know, only a strong China can help them to stand tall. And the silliest of all America's diplomatic attempts - to try to influence Russia to go against China. Vladimir Putin easily puts Biden into his pocket! Putin is a leader extraordinaire. He is made of solid steel! 

The US is a country that is deeply divided - between Democrats and Republicans, between races, and between extreme wealth and abject poverty. Its very foundation is indeed at risk of crumbling. Its cities and infrastructures are decaying. Its finances are in deep sinkholes. An important pillar of economy namely Chinese talents is having second thoughts about their future in America. A pandemic is still ravaging. Yet, it keeps looking back to whack China, just because it is pacing behind in the run.

Animal Farm - The workers have had enough, their voices of despair are ignored

 

Below is another article screaming out from the lungs of angry Singaporeans, Singaporeans that refused to be pushed and dumped into the sea by the pigs that are paying themselves millions and telling the Singaporeans 2 legs are good, 4 legs are better. How many more times must this be repeated before the people chase the pigs out of the Animal Farm, from their luxurious lifestyle and humongous pay, feeding, cheating and exploiting the poor Singaporean workers? Be good, work hard, tighten your belts, be Grab drivers, be cleaners....times  are bad, we need foreign talents from shitty third world universities to help you upgrade. Be thankful, be grateful and know your place.

The purpose of my narration is this. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE ARE LOTS OF JOBS THAT SINGAPOREANS CANNOT HANDLE, THEY ARE LYING.  

Our CECA policy will hollow out the Singapore talent base. Today, a lot of the C-suites are gone. The CEO, COO, CFO, CIO etc. Without its lieutenants, captains, sargeant majors and regimental majors, etc, an army cannot function. We have actually gone down the rabbit hole. Supervisory and middle line managers are also getting displaced.  If this situation is not reversed soon, irreparable damage will be done to the country.

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS THERE ARE LOTS OF JOBS THAT SINGAPOREANS CANNOT HANDLE, THEY ARE LYING. I can't stress this enough. When a small country has only a few universities and which are high in world rankings, and the government set policies that favour graduates from a country whose universities are hardly ranked,  policy makers need to have their brains examined.

We should stop using the term FOREIGN TALENT. This is one of the government's methodology to normalise the policy. It drills into your brains. They are talents, you are idiots. Granted foreign companies that set up base here want to bring in a pool of their specialists. These are the expertise in their particular fields. And what we want to welcome are the deal makers, the visionaires, the risk takers, those with high networks in high places, the knowledge drivers in their field, such as those in the cutting edge technologies. We understand this, and support them as host country, we want them to succeed just as much. 

Under CECA arrangement, we all know there has been an invasion of PMEs from India. The government's argument that these are FTs are blatant lies. A simple check at Linkedin is all it takes to call out the government.  Why do we need foreign admin managers, facility managers, HR managers, etc. I won't be surprised that companies here will be advised to ban their foreign Indian employees from registering with Linkedin. Information suppression is a new old-fashioned government control protocol.

If hollowing out Singapore talent is a dangerous path, why are'nt Singaporean elites calling this out? Where is the NTUC chief? Where are our industry leaders? Where are the Kweks, the Ongs, the Jumaboys? The business class are sleeping with the governing elites to enrich at the expense of a depressed wage market forced by the huge supply of foreign Indian PMEs. Not a single soul has stood up to say "Singaporeans are suffering. Singaporeans helped us to make our billions. It's time we stand up with Singaporeans, never mind that higher wages mean we make a little less."

Listening to Minister Ong say in parliament recently, that Singapore's success created it's own problem, made me puke. In his scholastic view, many companies locate here, we have high employment, but there is not enough Singaporeans. CECA helped alleviate the problem. The reality is the government policy helped companies lower cost on the backs of cheaper South Asians and at the expense of Singaporeans. Their message to attract FDIs is come here, we have a cheap labour force. 15 long years of the easy way out of building GDP on depressed wages have made it impossible for policy makers to realise that companies chose to base in Singapore not for the low wage advantage. For if that were so, there are a hundred much cheaper other countries they can relocate to. 

!st gen leadership told us we Singaporeans are valuable and trusted. Rolled up your sleeves, get educated, we can make it together. 3rd gen leaders are telling us we are idiots, be good and either work under 3rd world supervisors, or go and be a graduate Grab driver.

WHO Must Investigate US Fort Derrick For Origin Of COVID-19

 
An online petition demanding the WHO to investigate the US' Fort Detrick lab for the origins of the novel coronavirus garnered over 25 million signatures and inspired people in the Australia, Malaysia, Philippines and South Korea to call on the US to open its door for a thorough probe, The US should respond to doubts raised by the international community as soon as possible.

The petition was considered the loudest call on the probe into Fort Detrick, when the US ramped up its information war against China on COVID-19 origins tracing to serve its intelligence-led 90-day investigation on the matter.

The public call has been echoed by more countries and experts as well as groups around the world.

A South Korean civic group has sued the Fort Detrick biological laboratory and the US Forces Korea (USFK) over the smuggled toxic substances to US military bases in South Korea in violation of domestic law.

Kim Hyun-joong, Chairman of the Korea Fire Safety Education Culture Association, filed a complaint with a court in the country's southeast city of Busan against the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases in Fort Detrick, Maryland, and the USFK Commander Paul LaCamera.

It claimed that the USFK and the Fort Detrick biolab violated South Korean law and imported toxic substances into the country three times between 2017 and 2019.

Filipino political commentator Herman Laurel also launched an online petition earlier this month to break the silence around the dubious lab, with more ASEAN members joining.

"We already have signatures from Malaysia and Australia. We are planning a media forum to announce our visit to the local office of the WHO to follow up our petition," he said, noting that he hopes to deliver a letter of request by Friday next week.

Thousands of Filipinos have agreed that Fort Detrick mysteries must be brought to light.

The Filipino newspaper Pwersa mentioned that one of the most intriguing reports concerns the early presence of a "strange flu" in other countries and the mysterious issues such as the "vaping deaths" emanating from the US around the middle of 2019. And those reports emerged from the US revolving around Fort Detrick, which had been ordered by the US CDC to shut down for "national security reasons" in August 2019, putting the lab at the center of questions and doubts.

In a new book unveiled by a former press officer of the Philippine Embassy in the US, titled The Racism Virus Is Incurable, it listed a timeline of the COVID-19 outbreak in the US, which could be traced back to June 2019.

The Spanish flu pandemic in 1918 was first discovered in Texas before the virus was transmitted through the US military to Europe. So the US politicizing the COVID-19 outbreak is like the Spanish virus repeating itself.

With more and more new clues pointing to the US on COVID-19 origins, a number of media and experts in the US, Russia, South Korea and Japan call for an investigation into Fort Detrick.

The WHO must not let the US government to walk away from its responsibility. 

LIPS 

PS. This is USA's biggest fear, the truth they tried so hard to hide in Fort Detrick.

Part 4 - The Dragon has been awakened. Written by : Lim Yu Book

 

And the US ......

To the US , the hundreds of thousands who died in their hands - the Afghans, the Syrians, the Iraqis, the Libyans etc in the middle East, and the Vietnamese, the Laotians and the Cambodians in Indochina - and the millions they caused the local regimes / dictatorship to exterminate in Indonesia, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, Central and South America and Africa all in the name of fighting communist dominos ( see Bevins V, The Jakarta Method, 2020 .) are just inconvenient collateral damages in their mission of zeal to hold their concept of goodness to the world.

And Down Under ......

For years there was a White Australian policy until it was formally dismantled by the Whitlam Government in 1973. Successive governments have been friendly until the present one came into power. Even Scott Morrison did not lend himself as an attack dog at the beginning , even though several of his cabinet members were already making strong anti-China statements from time to time. Things came to a boil when Trump came to power and Morrison was happy to lend a big hand to help Trump to contain China. There was no looking back since then. Australia is now a staunch American ally. Many would ask, why would Australia do it when one-third of its goods are shipped to China? But if you look into history, Australia has always been willing partner to the UK and the US: First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and more recently the invasions of Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

And day in and day out, you read and watch incredulous stories about China spun by the Murdoch papers and TV channels!

The Real winners of Genocide / Atrocity Medals .....

If there is such a thing as a Genocide medal to be awarded in modern history, I am pretty sure the US, Canada and Australia with their treatment of natives would have made it to the podium. And if there is such a thing as Atrocity Olympiad, then Japan with its deeds in China and South East Asia during World War 11 would certaily qualify to be No 1 with Germany in close second. But in the Unconscionable Killing category, the US is surely the indisputable champion during the last fifty years. Whereas Germany and to some degree Australia and Canada have expressed their guilt, Japan is still most reluctant to admit what they had done during World War 11. To their misplaced mind, they were trying to do these victims a good deed!

And the last of the QUAD: of all people , Modi's India!

And in Narendra Modi's India, it is all about poppies. How can China be more successful than us? The most formidable names in the world are headed by Indians - Google, Microsoft, Pepsi, Harvard Business School and even the Nanyang Technological University of Singapore, which was founded by Chinese, etc. We were the first Asian to reach the Martian orbit. How can China be more advanced than us?

Not many Indians have visited China. Their concept of China is not different from the Americans: Blue ants and sweatshops. But they love the affordable mobile phones from China. I love to use the term Modi's India to describe India. I have many friends who are Indian. We are intellectual equals, but I couldn't help rubbing into them this irony. A country of 1.4 billion people and you have some of the best brains in the world, yet you have chosen a Donald Trump to be your prime minister.

I remember when I did my sixth form , many of our science testbooks were from India. When I was doing my engineering degree, we knew many of the peoneers of our Keretapi Tanah Melayu ( Malaysia's railway authority ) came from the Indian Railway .)

And there was the Non-Aligned Movement ( NOM ) during which China's Zhou Enlai and India's Jawaharlal Nehru were together at the forefront to resist "imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialsim, racism and all forms of foreign aggressions occupation, domination, interference or hegemony as well as against great power and bloc politics. More recently you had the BRICS Summits where the leaders of Brazil Russia, India, China and South Africa would meet to promote political, commercial and  cultural cooperation between the five nations. No one doubted India's non-aligned mindset.

However, the recent border skirmish with China and its inability to manage the corona virus pandemic must have jolted Modi and turned him into an anti-China fanatic. Your enemy's enemy is your friend, how true it is ! The US became an overnight friend, hence the formation of QUAD hoodlums.

Many scholars contend that India was never a nation until it gained independence from the British. A nation as defined by Cambridge Dictionary is "a country especially when thought of as a large group of people living one area with their own government, language, traditios, etc."  In another dictionary, it is "a large body of people, associated with a particular territory , that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own." To a hair-splitter like me, India is not a nation in the strictest sense of the word. It is a country of many peoples - in terms of religion, culture, language, history and what-have-you.

In the Tang Dynasty, circa 600 - 900 AD, there was already a strong bond between China and India. The glue of this bond, as we all know, was Buddhism. I honestly believe most Indians today do not think that historical foundation is significant enough for posterity.

Covid19 - Can the American CDC be trusted?

  

This is how establishment tried to frighten people into taking vaccines!

For some reason, people still think the CDC can be trusted.

During a press conference last week, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky admitted that her assertion that over 99 percent of covid patients dying in hospitals were unvaccinated was a load of nonsense.

The allegation, which was echoed by Anthony Fauci, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and other top officials, was exposed as a fraud on July 29 by the CDC’s own statistics, which was published by the Washington Post.

According to the CDC, the number of covid patient in-hospital deaths in May was 15% among the vaccinated, not 0.5 percent as they all claimed — a figure that is 30 TIMES more than they claimed.

The CDC and White House officials didn’t tell the public that – because they were in overdrive trying to scare everyone into getting vaccines.

 

The above is posted in TRE by Goh Meng Seng. 

My question, who are the fools that believed in the CDC wholesale and pushing the people to be vaccinated using fear? 

Next question, why are they doing this when they knew they were lying?
