China should put a hold on its generosity to the Pacific Islands

Wang Yi and his delegates are now visiting the south Pacific Islands to offer a trade and security pact to provide infrastructure development to these island nations. The visit has drawn intense pressure from the AngloSaxon countries, the former colonial masters of these island nations and still the de facto colonial masters in many ways. They still exert a lot of control over the island states with their own security pacts and policing these island states with their police force and militias. China's presence, though welcomed by the island states, would not be welcomed by the AngloSaxon countries as they regard these island states as their protectorates and the region their backyard and area of influence.

Even offers of trade and infrastructure development would not be welcomed by the Anglosaxon countries. They would rather let the island states remain in a state of status quo, underdeveloped and be in that way forever while the AngloSaxon countries would occasionally throw them a few crumbs to make the islanders happy. China's offer to help the island states to develop would undermine the AngloSaxon countries influence and control over these states. Therefore it is a no go for a start. 

And to offer a trade and infrastructure development pact with security elements is definitely out of question. The AngloSaxon countries would not allow it and they are still in control of several of the island political leaders. The point is that if China were to invest in these islands, the investments must be protected. The rioting and looting in the Solomon Islands are painful reminders to the Chinese that not only would they lose their investments, the lives of Chinese would also be endangered. The AngloSaxon police and militia would not want to protect Chinese assets and Chinese lives. Why should they when they were behind the rioting, looting, killings and unrest?

China should reconsider its investment initiatives carefully and not to rush as some of the island states are not ready, did not want them or being coerced by the AngloSaxons not to accept Chinese investments.  And of course some are stooges of the AngloSaxon gangsters. China should politely withdraw some of the investments from those that did not want and preferred to receive investments from their de facto colonial masters.

For those who are ready for Chinese investments and would protect Chinese investments either with their own police force or assistance from Chinese police force, China should go ahead to help these countries as best it could. The caveat, the protection of Chinese investments and lives must not be in the hands of the ill intent AngloSaxon police and militia in the island states. If these conditions are satisfied, a sign of sincerity and intent to safeguard Chinese investments, China must do its best to make them glorifying success and improve the lives of the islanders. 

Starting with a few willing island states is better than wasting money on those that were half hearted or did not want them. Perhaps time will tell whether the choice to have Chinese investments is better or worse off than investments from their de facto colonial masters. When the infrastructures are up and running, when the fruits of investments are for all to see, there will be lesser need for talking and convincing.

China should take one step at a time and let those who still prefer to work with their de facto colonial masters to do so and everyone would be happy. Freedom of choice and association. Papua New Guinea, Micronesia etc can exercise their freedom to choose their partners for their own development and wish them luck. The Solomon Islands and others that welcome Chinese developments would also have their wishes fulfill and their freedom of choice respected.

No country, even ex colonial masters, should have the right to coerce any islanders against their wishes. The rights of the islanders to choose their development partners must be respected.

Princeton Study - US Democracy Don't Exist

AMERICAN STUDY FOUND NO DEMOCRACY IN THE USA

https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6936192467490742272/
A new study from the prestigious Princeton University in the USA has concluded that American democracy no longer exists. It merely confirms what possibility the rest of the world has known for a very long time. Perhaps, Democracy has never even taken root in the USA.

Princeton researchers Martin Gilens and Benjamin Page, asking "Who really rules in the US?", argues that over the past few decades America’s political system has slowly transformed from a democracy into an oligarchy, where wealthy elites wield the most power.
Using data drawn from over 1,800 different policy initiatives from 1981 to 2002, the two conclude that rich, well-connected individuals on the political scene now steer the direction of the country, regardless of or even against the will of the majority of voters.

“The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy,” they write, “while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence.” Whither US Democracy? That also explains a lot about US arbitrary and unilateral behavior internationally in illegal wars and diplomacy (or lack of).  READ MORE.

IPEF and the fake 'international order'

'Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) is a modest attempt to patch together a non-China economic alliance in the wake of the TPP’s failure.

The mental calisthenics needed to understand Biden’s plans. Sorry but I do not see how this is going to work out at all. Yet, despite all of the confusing aspects, all of those nations including Singapore have signed on. This vague proposition is just noise. There is no formal agreement or countries voting to approve. It’s just another half baked Biden distraction for woes at home. I do not see any economic goals, no new markets, no reduced tariffs. I do not see how any of it is supposed to help the economies of the signatories. Yet the White House says this: “It is by any account the most significant international economic engagement that the United States has ever had in this region”

Mr. Blinken: “U.S. Aims to Constrain China by Shaping Environment Around It. China is the only country with both the intent to reshape the international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological power to do it. Beijing’s vision would move us away from the universal values that have sustained so much of the world’s progress over the past 75 years.”'

The above is quoted from an article by Sjorne Shen posted in the TRE.

The Americans are waving a piece of blank paper they called the IPEF and claimed that “It is by any account the most significant international economic engagement that the United States has ever had in this region”.  This is quite normal of the Americans to brag about anything or nothing as the best thing they have come out with. The strange thing is that there are 12 believers, other than the snake oil salesman himself, that believe in the goodness of this piece of blank papers when there is no words on it, except the words of the snake oil salesman. We have heard of many scams over the news about people loosing millions to scammers, believing in the scammers' pitch that was too good to be true. Now we have leaders of nation states believing in thin air, probably signing on the dotted line to say, I am in. What happens if this IPEF turns out to be another scam?

The other point the Americans are bragging is the so called international order. What is this international order aka rule based order and how international is it? In practice, in reality, this is an American rules order crafted and dictated by the Americans. Everyone can participate in this world order only if the Americans allowed it. If the Americans branded any country as enemy, they would be blocked from participating in this 'international order'.  The Americans alone decide the terms and conditions and the participants in this 'international order'. Many countries have been sanctioned and kept out of this 'international order' at the whims and fancy of the Americans. Its international part is as good as what the Americans called the 'international community' meaning the Americans and their European allies and stooges. The American version of 'international community' did not include the rest of the world, particularly the third world and countries the Americans branded as enemies. 

When the Americans used the term 'international order' and 'international community', it is them against the rest of the world. Many from the rest of the world are not part of the 'international community' and not participants of the 'international order' aka American rules order. These are American lies at best. The Americans and the European countries and American stooges do not represent the whole of the 'international community', and the 'international order' is not international but an American rules order, like the SWIFT banking system, supposed to be international but American controlled and dominated.

Be aware of these phrases and do not be deceived by the Americans. It is about them against the rest of the world. When the Americans shout international it is not international. When the Americans shout democracy, it is not about democracy. When they shout human rights, it is not about human rights. It is all about Americans and their dominance over the rest of the world, the evil Imperial American Empire.

Who created the energy crisis?

Who actually created the energy shortage and the present energy crisis? Think carefully and it will lead you to the usual suspect, the USA itself. With all the embargoes on oil exports from Venezuela, Iran and now Russia, it doe not need a rocket scientist to know what did all this lead to. Iran, Venezuela and Russia are major oil producers and their volume of production cannot be easily substituted by an increase in production by the Middle Eastern Kingdoms nor the USA itself.

The USA, under Trump ,had been actually planning all this in order for them be the dominant energy player, both globally and in Europe. Trump is a big supporter of the USA oil extraction lobby, and fracking is his favourite, and they want a bigger share and bigger control over the global energy market. The USA wants Europe to stop Russian oil and gas imports, so they can muscle in on the EU market and the silly Europeans did not realise they are being pushed under the bus. The USA's actions against NORD stream 2 was all a clear sign of their evil intentions. And the Europeans bought into the lie and are suffering the consequences. There is no going back for them now, like Sweden and Finland.

If Europe gets rid of Russian oil and gas, who benefits the most? But the bigger problem for Europe is not about getting energy replacements from elsewhere, which can be solved in time. The bigger problem is how much more expensive are they willing to pay for their energy cost and how competitive they will be for their products in the world market in the immediate present. This problem will be for the Europeans to shoulder, not the USA. It is a marriage of convenience, where the Europeans suffer the pain while the USA just reap all the gains.

And do not forget that Russia is selling discounted oil and gas to countries like China and India among others. With Asia fueled by cheaper oil and gas and Europe having to pay for more expensive energy, who is going to do better going forward?

So, do not be taken in by the USA's propaganda that the energy crisis is all created by Russia. It is their own creation, and as usual, others have to take the blame while they get away with murder. And the most ironical thing is people do not think but just soak in the propaganda.
