Beijing Warns Taiwan Secessionists and Their Fomenters: War is Real

 

The US State Department issued a statement on Sunday, saying the PLA was conducting intensive training exercises over Taiwan island's self-proclaimed southwest air defense identification zone in the past few days. The statement accused the PLA of carrying out "provocative military activities" that “undermines regional peace and stability", adding "the US commitment to Taiwan is rock solid.” The Taiwan foreign affairs department immediately expressed gratitude to the Biden administration.

During the National Day holiday, the number of the PLA fighter jets and other military planes set a record high in their sorties over the Taiwan Straits. The intensive actions of the PLA Air Force are not only a severe warning to the secessionist Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) authorities on the island, but also clearly portrayed the severity of the situation across the Taiwan Straits, and at the same time gave a clear warning to the supporters of the DPP authorities.

The peaceful atmosphere that existed in the area only a few years ago has all but disappeared, and the DPP authorities now openly refer to PLA fighters as "enemy aircraft".

They have constantly hyped up claims that they are at the forefront of the so-called democratic world to resist "authoritarian rule”. The strategic collusion between the US and Japan and the DPP authorities is becoming more audacious, and the situation across the Taiwan Straits has almost lost any room for maneuver teetering on the edge of a face-off, creating a sense of urgency that the war maybe triggered at any time.

The secessionist forces on the island will never be allowed to secede Taiwan from China under whatever names or by whatever means, and, the island will not be allowed to act as an outpost of the US’ strategic containment against China. The US government and the DPP authorities are trying to deeply integrate the island into the US’ Indo-Pacific strategy targeting China. The Chinese mainland will not tolerate the integration of the island and the US.

The curtain of preparations for a comprehensive military struggle by the Chinese mainland has obviously been drawn open. The PLA's military drills in the Taiwan Straits are no longer limited to declaring China’s sovereignty over the island, but to implement various forms of assembly, mobilization, assault and logistical preparations that are required to take back the island of Taiwan. It has increasingly become the new mainstream public opinion on the Chinese mainland that the mainland should make earnest preparations based on the possibility of combat.

Resolving the Taiwan question and realizing national reunification has never become so weightier on the shoulders of all Chinese people. Not only the US, but also some other countries like India and Japan are trying to use the Taiwan question as a card to play against Beijing. A fundamental solution to the Taiwan question is becoming all the more reasonable day by day.

If the US and the DPP authorities do not take the initiative to reverse the current situation, the Chinese mainland's military punishment for "Taiwan independence" secessionist forces will eventually be triggered. Time will prove that this warning is not just a verbal threat.

With the USA big stick behind them prodding for confrontation, the Taiwanese, like the Japs cannot make their own decisions. The purpose of selling more and more arms to Taiwan is to give Taiwan a false sense of security and improve the prospect of war, not make Taiwan more secure. That is the reality.

If war breaks out, China does not even have to invade Taiwan. Just the declaration of a war zone across the Straits with no interaction between them will probably make sure Taiwan is strangled economically with a slow agonising downfall If Taiwan do the unthinkable and attack China (for what? Takeover?) that will change the whole script and the consequences will be no holds barred situation and Taiwan would realistically disappear.

China is next door, while the USA is thousands of miles away. How long can they endure and support Taiwan in a prolonged war? China can wait 150 years to retake Hong Kong. What is a decade or two to them? The USA could not continue the pretension after 20 years in Afghanistan. They could not endure a long war in South Vietnam and were defeated by the North Vietnamese, fighting a war thousands of miles away from home ground. They had to exit in defeat with their tails between their legs. Logistically, they are already on the losing end of the bargain.

Nuclear? No one will be left o tell the story or write the history books!

Plutocracy or Dictatorship, Which is Which?

Both are the similar in substance, though different in approach.

The top 1% still need a leader. That leader still needs cronies to help him to rule.

The top 1% is a dictatorship of a party/group. Their leader is the supreme dictator of the 1%, as well as the ruler of the entire country.

Kishore is being careful and polite. He does not want to offend the powerful dictator. He uses the word plutocracy to replace the word dictator. I think.

Plutocracy is not even a political philosophy. But it can easily fit into any political philosophy such as democracy, monarchy, dictatorship, socialism, communism, etc.

Plutocracy means rule by the wealthy, not necessarily the top 1%.

But every country ultimately will land up being ruled by the wealthy because those in power tend to enrich themselves in wealth and power, and become wealthy and powerful. That is the whole purpose of people getting into powerful positions - to enmass wealth, fame and status through the power they acquired.

Even the commercial and business organisations pay their top managers, CEOs, Directors, Chairmen, etc, thereby allowing them to move from the bottom class to the mediocre class, and ultimately to the wealthy class.

The same applies to Kings, Queens, and Emperors and Empresses. They also enrich themselves and live a comfortable life through the power entrusted on them by their subjects, at the expense of their subjects.

Nevertheless, whoever rules the country will make sure that they themselves are rewarded heavily, until they become filthy rich, mostly and usually at the expense of the masses, the working class, the common folks.

Therefore, plutocracy can be applied everywhere - in government, business or non-governmental organisations.

NKF is one good example of plutocracy seeping into a non-governmental charitable organisation, where the top people (Directors and CEO) enrich themselves at the expense of the very people whom they are responsible to help, the beneficiaries of the donations.

NKF to keep 90% of the donations and distributed only 10% of the money to the needy, the rightful beneficiaries of the donations.

Likewise, the Singapore system of government is similar to NKF's model. It keeps about 80% of the duties, revenues and taxes collected and the savings to itself and distribute only 20% of the money to all the ministries. And every ministry is supposed to make their own income to supplement their budgets. In this manner, the government has become filthy rich, while most of the citizens remain poor and mediocre.

Then, because of the immense amount of money being passed through the hands of those in power on a daily basis, their eyes turned red and their hearts became greedy. That's why they have been paying themselves the obscene $Multi-Million salary since 1990, when Mr Goh took over as PM. That's how the ruling elites became wealthy. Thus the term plutocracy being used by Kishore.

What say you? Do you agree?

China steps up air incursions into Taiwan buffer zone after US-led drills

Increasing tension comes as America and allies increase military co-operation in Indo-Pacific

Military tension around Taiwan increased on Monday as China sent a record 52 warplanes into the country’s air defence identification zone after the US and five of its allies held a large naval exercise east of the island.

The incursion, which included 36 fighters and 12 nuclear-capable bombers, marked the third time in four days that the People’s Liberation Army Air Force set a new record for flying into Taiwan’s air buffer zone. The flights on Monday brought the total number of such missions to 145 since Friday.

Taiwanese officials said that while the Chinese aircraft that entered its Adiz on Monday appeared engaged in an exercise aimed at the US and its allies, the scale of the PLA activity near Taiwan had reached a dangerous level.

“This is getting close to the brink of conflict,” one senior Taiwanese official said.

According to Japan’s Maritime Self Defense Force, the navies of the US, Japan, the UK, Canada, the Netherlands and New Zealand conducted a large exercise involving three aircraft carriers and 14 other warships on Saturday and Sunday south-west of Okinawa.

Two people familiar with the situation said the Chinese aircraft were simulating attacks on some of the naval vessels that had participated in the joint drill and were on their way home or to new missions.

Ivan Kanapathy, a China expert who served at the National Security Council during Donald Trump’s administration, said there was too much focus on the PLA flights given the other military assets China had directed at Taiwan.

“As a matter of perspective, the PLA is continuing to improve on the roughly 2,000 surface-to-surface missiles that can strike Taiwan from the mainland with minimal warning.”

Meng Wanzhou Incident - the lessons for the white monkeys and puppies of the West

Don't you dare muck around with China.

 I could have called this the Huawei Incident, but the white monkeys have turned a technical and economic competition into a political and trade war, and turning from trying to better the opponent into attacking and crippling the opponent. It turned from a fair business competition into a hideous and shameless attack of a company, into attacking an individual of the company.  This low life behaviour of the white monkeys revealed their true nature, if cannot win, break the opponent's legs, use the dirtiest and slimy acts to destroy the opponent. 

The low down Americans have been using this same tactics against the Russians, Germans, French and also the Japanese. Unfortunately for them, this time the meat was too big and difficult to chew and they had to vomit out to save them from choking to death.

When the white monkeys played dirty, they won many times doing this, in order to beat the monkeys in their dirty game, the victim has to play as dirty as possible. The white monkeys arrested Meng Wanzhou, China arrested two Michaels from Canada but on legitimate charges of spying. Also, an American brother and sister team was also arrested. This became a 1 for 4 hostage game.

Be very clear, the two Michaels would never have any chance of leaving China and would likely be executed for espionage if the white monkeys did not end the blackmail by releasing Meng. And so would the two Americans suffering the same fate as the Michaels. China is now strong enough to play rough when pushed to a corner. The message, China is not interested in arresting Canadians or Americans. Take them back. But don't try your luck again.

This is the hard and painful lesson that China is teaching the white monkeys. China would not be pushed around and would hit back doubly hard. China would no longer lower its head and pretend nothing had happened. When China was weak, and trying to catch up and needing the world, that policy was like swallowing bitter pills, humiliating but necessary. 

China is now a super power and would stand tall to be respected as equals. No more the little Chinaman to be pushed around even by silly little countries. Some silly little countries still demanded that China should continue to bend its head and let others kick around, and say thank you Sir. Such naivity only belongs to the silly and stupid that refused to recognise the world has changed, China has changed.

White monkeys or American puppies better learn from this bitter lesson, the boy PM better learn from this lesson. China would not bully them, but don't try to bully China. China would kick their asses.

Would the white monkeys dare to do another Meng Wanzhou? Would any puppies dare to be mischievous against China? Xi Jinping has done the right thing, that China going forward would be the super power that the sillies and stupid must live with and not to trifle with. The pride and dignity of China and the Chinese people would no longer be trampled on. 

When China is staring right in the face of the evil American Empire, would silly little countries like UK, Canada and Australia think they are up to it to confront China, to start a war with China?

Stupidity has no cure. Still expect China to bend its head, to be pushed around by little asses? Be good, be nice, be meek, and the world would be nicer to China? Dummy.

The Myth That It Is The People Who Choose Their Government

 

NO, not true. The masses do not choose their government. This is a deliberately planted myth that the power-grabber wants you to believe.

Even in America, the Average Americans do not choose those who rule the country.

Democracy is still just a dream.

Voting alone does not represent Democracy. In a true Democracy, the People tells those who run the country what to do. Not the other way around. The elected political hacks are servants of the people, not rulers. They are to serve the people sincerely and wholeheartedly, without personal feelings and idiosyncrasies involved, to the best of their abilities.

Voting results can be easily manipulated. They are always manipulated in one way or another. In one form or another.

Singapore is not a democratic country. Singapore is a true and through dictatorship masquerading as a parliamentary democracy. It tries very hard to to put up a false facet or semblance of democracy, just to fool the gullible.

In a truly functioning Democracy, the democratic institutions are more powerful than the government of the day. These institutions ensure that the people in government truly serve the people instead of themselves. In Singapore, the democratic institutions are either non-existent, devoid of democratic aspirations or play-acting to conform with the will of the elites instead of the people.

In Singapore, the ruling class serve themselves, their own party, and their personal interests, instead of the people's interests, instead of national interests. They project the idea that the national interests are their interests but it has always been the other way around. Their interests take priority over national and people's interests, without fail.

The recent, lightning, blitzkrieg, brief parliamentary debate to hurry through the passage of the FICA Law, to give the ruling class widespread and deeper power, is a clear and undeniable example of a functioning dictatorship at work.

The PAP's WHIP, that forced and ensure all PAP MPs vote in unison in one voice, is the give-away that Singapore is a totalitarian dictatorship, without an iota of doubt.

The dictatorship of one man, not one party.

That one man is called The WHIP, which is under the direct command and control of and by the Prime Minister.

Even the so-called Elected President is under the indirect command and control of the Prime Minister by proxy, through the hands of the Presidential Advisers nominated by the Prime Minister.

In Singapore, the Prime Minister calls ALL the shots, not the Cabinet.

The Cabinet is put up to give legitimacy to the Dictatorship of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister leads the Cabinet and the Central Executive Committee of PAP.

In Singapore's context, ALL POWERS, legal or otherwise, are vested only, solely, singularly and undividedly in one person - THE PRIME MINISTER, the unchanged and unfettered DICTATOR!

AND the most telling of all is that he is also the one who appraise and decide on the jobs, the pays, the bonuses, the promotions and even the when to go on leave for all the Ministers, MPs and Top Civil Servants.

So, stop thinking and saying that the people choose their government. This is totally a myth!
