Rich Chinese tourists on the march... with plenty of cash to spend

Thailand is welcoming Chinese tourists with the familiar Thai charm and hospitality, and would be happy to get 5m tourists from China this year. By the look of things going on around the world, with many silly countries playing dirty politics, more Chinese tourists can be expected in Thailand and friendly countries.

China should put a ban on its tourists from visiting hostile countries at least for a year to let them salivate in pain and anger without the big spending Chinese tourists visiting them.

This would be a good lesson to silly little countries that chose to be coerced by the Americans to attack Chinese tourists and China and to lose the tourist dollars that could come to them. The first two Asian countries deserving such a ban should be Japan and South Korea. The USA should be the top country to be out of bound for Chinese tourists, and also western countries that joined the hostile bandwagon.

Let them stay at the sideline to watch the money flowing everywhere except into their pockets for their silly antics. Every country showing hostility or unfriendliness can standby and wait long long. There are many countries around the world to go to that welcome Chinese tourists. 

The Chinese tourists are famous for being big spenders, spending in the tens of thousands each everywhere they visited. Many countries and their retail industries and hotels would be laughing all the way to the bank.

SPH last saga on its way to become SPH Media Trust

UNANSWERED QUESTIONS

The quicker these investigations are completed the better. For the sake of preserving public interest, some of the questions that must be answered are: First, if the audit was initiated nine months ago, why did it take this long for the information to be made public?...

Second, some commentators have observed that much of what SPH Media did is accepted industry practice. After all, it has been said, figuring out the exact numbers of newspapers sold is very difficult, so it’s okay to grant media companies leeway. ...(very difficult to count, accepted industry practice????)

Third, how long has the practice of arbitrarily inflating circulation been going on? SPH used to be a listed company that enjoyed monopoly status in the local media scene, so it is astounding that it had to resort to artificially inflating its circulation figures, yet that appears to be the reality today.

If the practice does extend back several years, then SGX will have its work cut out in determining if any action needs to be taken regarding disclosures from those periods.

As things stand, there are more questions than answers in the minds of the public. For a start, answers to those which appear above should be forthcoming as soon as possible.

David Gerald is founder, president, and CEO of the Securities Investors Association (Singapore).

Above is part of an article by David Gerald in the CNA on the SPH saga of 'inflated circulation figures'. Brackets and in bold were my additions.  There are many questions that the public would want to know. The critics are out in full force to demand for transparency and accountability.

Not to worry, the govt would not leave any stone unturned to get to the bottom of this. There will be no cover ups. Everyone involved would be named. No one is above the law. Just give the govt some time. Singapore is well known for being an incorruptible nation and wearing the badges of honour, honesty and transparency on its chest. 

Just be patient. It may take as long and as thorough as the Aljunied Hougang Town Council case, but the truth would be told. The best auditors would he hired to dig through the files. And for sure many MPs would be asking questions in Parliament for the truth.

Covid19 Injury - Melbourne, Australia

 

A 2 minute clip on a protest in Australia for Covid Injury and death due to mRNA vaccines. The number of dead is quite a big. You would not see this in the main media.

The XBB.1.5 sub-variant, first discovered last October, is behind the surge in Covid infections in the United States. It is the most transmissible Omicron sub-variant detected three years into the pandemic.

Why no country is in a hurry to impose more stringent measures on visitors coming in from the USA but discriminating against Chinese visitors under the pretext of new dangerous mutations that may or may not happen? New dangerous mutations can come from any country in the future. The future is always uncertain.

The Covid “vaccine” Is an Intentional Effort at World Genocide

Paul Craig Roberts

Never before have there been massive excess deaths following vaccination.

Never before have there been children, young adults, athletes in their prime, entertainers, dropping dead “cause unknown” following vaccination.

Of course, the cause is known. The leading doctors and medical scientists of our time–which excludes health agency bureaucrats, such as Fauci, who serve as marketing agents for Big Pharma and corrupt, politicized state medical boards and HMOs–have explained why and how the mRNA “vaccines,” which are not vaccines, kill, destroy the immune system, and cause health injuries.

What is not known is why some die immediately after receiving the deadly substance, others a month later, and others remain, so far, alive.

Professor Michel Chossudovsky has collected here —

https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-covid-killer-vaccine-people-are-dying-all-over-the-world-its-a-criminal-undertaking/5800358

— a number of videos documenting the widespread sufferings and deaths of the vaccinated. It is not the unvaccinated who are “mysteriously” dropping dead all over the world. It is the vaccinated....(read full comment at TRE).

Condolezza Rice - What a shameless liar?

 

A 1 minute clip showing how this evil woman lied about how great the evil Empire was. The evil Empire was so peaceful, so good to its allies, never attack anyone, never kill anyone, never go to war! Saddam Hussein was once an American operative. Osama was also trained by the Americans and an American operative. Iraq was once an American ally, so was Iran.

Unfortunately many silly fools still believe that the evil American Empire is the Empire of Peace, of Democracy, of Human Rights, of Angels, like this evil woman.

Not to worry, the stupid would continue to believe what they want to believe even after seeing this clip. They chose to believe in lies and to live with lies. What a lovely and kind America. The Americans are angels of love!!!!

Zhao Lijian - America's nemesis

China has reassigned Zhao Lijian, known to the Western world as the face of Beijing’s assertive “wolf warrior” diplomacy, from his post as Foreign Ministry Spokesperson....

Despite this, the reassignment of Zhao Lijian to an obscure department is not without political meaning. Even if we can critique the discourse of “wolf warrior diplomacy,” impressions matter. Zhao is seen as very nationalist and combative irrespective of how Western media choose to portray him. The fact that China has realigned its diplomatic team recently, including promoting the very conciliatory (and non-combative) Wang Yi, signals that beyond the US, China is seeking to re-engage diplomatically with the West. It suggests a shift away from the highly charged era of 2020-2022, the “Covid era” when tensions with Beijing were very high.

Therefore, although Zhao’s legacy is misrepresented, it cannot be denied that his reassignment is a political move. China is ultimately not happy to be defined by “wolf warrior diplomacy.” With many US allies unhappy that Washington benefits at their expense while asking them to comply with costly sanctions, in particular when it comes to the Ukraine conflict and in its technology war against China, some nations have begun to reengage with Beijing. China ultimately asserts that “cooler heads must prevail” and will seek to restrain the US through diplomacy, not combative behaviour, especially as it reopens again to the world and Washington strives to do all it can to raise tensions. RT

It is a pity that China deems it unsuitable to give Zhao Lijian more space as a Foreign Ministry spokesman to take on the aggressive wolves and hyenas of the American counterparts and their vicious lies and propaganda.  It was Zhao's brand of diplomacy that was able to make the Americans uncomfortable, to be attacked instead of attacking China daily. The Americans were given a taste of its own medicine and could feel the pain that they had never have to contend with. 

Prior to Zhao Lijian, the Americans were having a whale of a time attacking China, playing punks with China, smearing and condemning China freely, a one sided affair. And poor China's only response was to explain and explain and explain, like stupid fools. They have forgotten the saying, attack is the best form of defence. And that was what the Americans were doing to keep the Chinese very busy explaining foolishly for things and crimes they did not do. There is a Chinese saying, 秀才遇上兵，有理说不清.

The Americans are not soldiers but bandits, 土匪 , and it is futile to explain to them. The American's intent and tactic are just to play rough with lies after lies. Why waste time with their lies? The way to deal with the Americans is to have a ‘红脸一个唱白脸’。

Just because of a few apologists in the China camp that still believe in peddling to the American nonsense, trying to talk to the American from the position of weakness, to appease the Americans, not to make the Americans angry as the best way, China is moving away from confronting the Americans with a tit for tat. This would only encourage the Americans to be more aggressive, and the Americans have continue to do so again with no pressure from Zhao Lijian.

The wolf in the wolf warrior diplomacy should be referring to the Americans. The Chinese are the warriors fighting the American wolves. China must bring back Zhao Lijian or continue to be beaten and smeared by the Americans daily. Would China want to continue to be Ah Q again just because of American criticism? 给人打，给人骂， 还要道歉. The Americans are uncomfortable with the heat put up by Zhao Lijian and wishing him to go away. And China is doing the America a favour, a sure sign of weakness, and this is bad. 

The Americans only respect might and power. They don't respect weaknesses. If China wants to be respected by the Americans and the rest of the world, it has to stand up and stare the Americans right in the eyes. Stand up, China. Don't run away just because of a little criticism from the West and the doves in Beijing. What China had achieved in Alaska by Yang Jiechi and Wang Yi had won the hearts of the world but would be wasted if China starts to backtrack and become a meek mouse again.

The opening up of China has given the Americans and their stooges another chance to attack China. Don't expect the evil Americans to be nicer just because you removed Zhao from doing what he did best for China. The Americans are rounding up all their cronies and stooges to mount a concerted attack on China. How much longer would China want to be screwed by the Americans? China's weakness is reflected in the embolden behaviour of the stooges and cronies to impose discriminatory measures against its citizens. South Korea is so stupid to put yellow cards on Chinese visitors without knowing that yellow is the white man's discriminatory colour against Asians like Chinese, Japanese and Koreans.

Bring back Zhao Lijian to keep the heat on the Americans, to keep the Americans uneasy and busy trying to defend what Zhao threw at them. That would keep them away from mischief. China needs to use the Zhao Lijian card to deal with the Americans.
