Sino-India Border War Looms as Talks Fail

India has been consistently provoking small troubles at the border and increasing troop numbers, infringing upon China's territory and sovereignty

China and India held the 13th round of corps commander-level talks on Sunday, during which India insisted on unreasonable and unrealistic demands, adding difficulties to the negotiations, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Western Theater Command said in a statement released on Monday.

China has made tremendous efforts to ease and cool down the border situation and fully demonstrated its sincerity, the statement said.

China's determination to safeguard sovereignty is unwavering, and China hopes India will not misjudge the situation and take actions with sincerity to safeguard the peace at the border, according to the statement.

The Indian military not only obstructed a routine patrol by Chinese border troops on September 28, it also fabricated rumor that "Chinese soldiers were detained for crossing the borderline" via the mouthpiece of the Indian media.

Chinese military warned the Indian army and media not to mistake China's restraints over such rumors as tolerance for slander.

India media News18 cited government sources as saying on Friday that the Indian army temporarily detained a few Chinese troops in Zangnan area of southern Xizang (Tibet) for "incursion" in this area. The Chinese military source said Chinese border troops conducted a routine patrol on September 28 in the Dongzhang area on the Chinese side of the Sino-Indian border and encountered "unreasonable obstruction" from the Indian military.

The incident in the Dongzhang area, where the Indian army obstructed the Chinese border troop's routine patrol, shows India's deliberate provocation and distortion of facts as it did on last year's border skirmish in which 20 Indian soldiers died in a barefist fight with Chinese martial arts soldiers in the Galwan Valley in June 2020

China's border regions with India have been facing pressure of being encroached by the Indian side. For instance in 2001, Indian troops tore down a bridge leading to a holy waterfall in Dongzhang region in Shannan city of Xizang, where Chinese residents could take water there, and set up a military checkpoint by the river. Indian troops were also garrisoned at a grassland in Dongzhang, driving Chinese herders out.

At southeastern region of Xizang, villagers complained that Indian troops and residents have crossed the border several times. The Indians have been trying to "claim their existence" by painting slogans on big rocks.

The Indian government, military and media habitually create an illusion for the Indian public that the Indian army is taking the upper hand in everything.

But Chinese troops would not step back in any circumstances and is ready to give the Indian military a bloody nose..

COVID-19 Singapore: Haphazard Adhoc Measures Caused More Pain Than Help

The whole government seems to show a severe lack of coordination between ministers and ministries. This is likely the result of having three co-chairmen but no leader to control the Multi-Ministry Task Force. How can one have a Task Force without a Force Leader? Who is to make the final co-ordination and decision? Who is to lead the Task Force? At least a Senior Minister or the Deputy Prime Minister should be heading the Task Force, isn't it?

There is obviously no one coordinating all the proposals, ideas, options, measures and protocols.

The PM seems to have switched off or fallen asleep on his desk for the last 22 months. He had said during the last election hastings, in July 2020, that he would continue to lead the country until the COVID-19 Pandemic situation has improved. But after the election, he was seldom to be heard, seen nor found. Except for the few occasional speeches, he seems to be in hibernation or on a holiday mood, while his wife actively making postings on her Facebook pages, giving updates and directions on COVID-19 and Vaccination. Perhaps on behalf of him? Operating by proxy or 'remote control'?

The fact is that in any country, the whole COVID-19 Pandemic cannot be handled by just the Multi-Ministry Task Force alone. It has to involve all the Ministers and Permanent Secretaries of all the Ministries. Simply because it affects the whole country, the whole population and all walks of life.

In the last 22 months, there has been a series of flip-flopping, up and down, open-shut, and like changing underwear, decisions, measures, protocols and procedures. All actions seems like the 'suka-suka' way of doing things that small kids are used to do.

Instead of helping us, all these crazy and lazy changes have in fact made us more confused, frightened and upset. In other words, giving us more headaches and pains, instead of consoling us and eliminating or lessening our difficulties and lighten our loads, especially financial, mobility, communication, health and anxiety. 

 It is about time, the Multi-Ministry Task Force be disbanded and the whole Pandemic or Endemic (whatever you want to call it, it makes no difference really; the virus is determined to spread far, wide and deep, causing sickness and death) should be handed by the Cabinet, led by the Prime Minister. There should be a Cabinet Coordinating Meeting every day, and an All-Ministries Meeting every week, with both the Ministers and the Permanent Secretaries attending. This is the only way to function at the very top level until the whole COVID-19 situation has subsided and the returned to normal way of life.

Just my humble recommendation. Take it or leave it, its up to you. You are the King.

Nuclear warheads - Why China does not need more but actually have more warheads than the Americans?

 

The Americans have been pleasantly congratulating themselves that they have many times more nuclear warheads than China and can threaten China with a nuclear holocaust. But quietly China is confident that with its 300 warheads against the USA's 7,000 warheads, China has nothing to fear. How so?

Read the 4 points listed in the above pic, especially point 2, 'US & allies missiles...re directed to return to base. This is a capability that China has developed with their ability to decode the missile command codes at super speed with the use of code cracking computers and the fastest computers in the world.

American or allies missiles, once launched, could be captured and redirected back to where they belong or to any coordinates the Chinese command them. What do these mean? American and allies missiles would become Chinese missiles, and could be flown to attack them instead of China.

Be warned Americans and allies, before you fly missiles, know where they would eventually be heading and land. Once launched, the Chinese would take control of them. Thank you very much.

Americans and their allies' missiles are as good as belong to China.

This is one of the key reasons why China is confident to take on the Americans and their allies head on in a way.  China had proven that in a conventional war.  China could bash up the Americans and their elite units, including those from their allies. During the Korean War, the top elite American unit, the Marine Corp, was decimated by the peasant soldiers of PLAV.  The 3 elite British brigades were also wiped out. The same fate also gone to the elite Turkish units and the Australian brigades, all claimed to be their best units. 

China has also neutralised the American aircraft carriers, denying them any chance of operating in the East and South China Seas.

In a nuclear war, the American homeland would be hit by American nuclear weapons from their own silos. The American submarines and destroyers would also be hit by the same nuclear missiles they launched.

Covid19 - Rational or irrational decision making

 An old Chinese saying, which I have heard from old folks many times when I was still schooling:

"Don't study books so much until the brain is filled with shits!"

The recent restrictive measures and severe discriminations against the unvaccinated - who are mainly oldies and those who cannot take the vaccines, and children under 12 years old, who have no vaccines available for them - are an obvious reflection of people who have study books so much until their brains are filled with shits and incompetence.

It shows:

1. No common sense and making decisions not based on facts but conjectures, hearsays and theories.

2. Making decisions in order to please the Western foreign powers and foreigners but discrimated against own citizens.

3. Making decisions based on the sole objective of reconnecting with other countries for national level economic gains but disregarding the small and medium size local entrepreneurs, restaurants, food courts, hawkers and coffee shops.

4. Making decisions based on the unexpert experts' advice instead of common sense, prudence and wisdom -, the qualities which the leaders seem to be devoid of.

Xi Jinping says peaceful reunification with Taiwan is in country’s best interests

 
President says the ‘complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled’ and warns that those who oppose this are doomed

President Xi Jinping said on Saturday that Beijing hoped Taiwan could be reunited peacefully with the Chinese mainland as he warned that those who opposed this would be “judged by history”.

“To achieve the reunification of the motherland by peaceful means is most in line with the overall interests of the Chinese nation, including our compatriots in Taiwan,” Xi told a meeting in Beijing commemorating the 110th anniversary of the revolution that established the first Chinese republic.

The Xinhai Revolution, which began in Wuchang, now part of modern-day Wuhan, led to the downfall of the Qing dynasty.

In his most high-profile speech on Taiwan since July 1, the Communist Party’s centenary, Xi said: “We [should] adhere to the basic policy of peaceful reunification and one country, two systems, adhere to the one-China principle and the 1992 consensus, and promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations.”

He urged Taiwan to “stand on the right side of history jointly to create the glorious cause of the full reunification and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation”.

Xi added that secessionists were “the biggest obstacle to the reunification of the motherland and a serious hidden risk to national rejuvenation”.

“Those who forget their ancestors, betray the motherland, or split the country are doomed. They will definitely be spurned by the people and judged by history.”

Without naming any country directly, Xi also warned of foreign interference. “The Taiwan issue is entirely China’s internal affair, and no external interference can be condoned,” he said.

“No one should underestimate the Chinese people’s determination, and strong ability to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity, The historical task of the complete reunification of the motherland must be fulfilled, and it will definitely be fulfilled,” he said.
