People across the world, across races and cultures enjoying Chinese New Year together

 People of the world can come together and celebrate and share their joy as one people in festivities. Without the politicians inciting division and hatred, the people of the world can enjoy each others culture freely and happily, with warmth, friendship and understanding. People in general are happy, like to be happy and have fun.

Below are just a few clips of Chinese New Year Celebration In Liverpool, Vancouver, London, Milan and Helsinki. You will see the Europeans showing their skills in lion and dragon dances and parading in ancient Chinese costumes with their Chinese friends.

Jan 23, 2023 今日在 Berry Street 附近睇咗一陣 Dragon Parade，目測 有八九成本地人參加觀看。 有舞龍舞獅放炮仗，好有氣氛。當中舞龍的健兒大部分係非華人，舞獅表演的鼓手也是本地人。 途中有一檔賣應節貨品：花炮、小舞獅玩具、一條好似玩貓用的“龍”型毛毛玩具，小朋友玩得最開心。 放炮仗都算幾大陣仗，有三四個“軍火專家”專門處理在鐵籠內的長條炮仗，安全又唔會爆到周圍都係。 下年有時間可以去睇下感受下傳統華人過年的氣氛。 p.s. 長知識，學英文： firecrackers - 炮仗 Lucky Man - 大頭佛 Dargon and Unicorn Parade 舞龍舞獅 martial arts DEMO 武術表演

American modus operandi in preparation to attack China

 

When the USA and collective West first started the confrontation and sanctions against Russia, and trying to rally UN members to vote against the Russians, they claimed that Russia had no supporters. Drumming this into people's mind was the usual modus operandi of the USA in every evil plot they hatched. Did they succeed? Or are countries still sleeping? Sorry, not today's world.

What did they do with Iraq with their usual modus operandi? They fabricated evidence and claimed that Saddam Hussein had WMD and chemical weapons. After mission accomplished, what did they find? Nothing, absolutely nothing, not even a credible 'Chemical Ali' to show. Lots of Alis in Iraq, no doubt. And what did the UN and doggies do? Nothing, absolutely nothing, despite the millions killed for nothing and all purely based on malicious and fabricated evidence. If this is not a war crime, I wonder what is a war crime that they are talking about? Or is it war crimes recognised only under their own 'Rule of Law'?

What did they do also in Vietnam under their modus operandi? They fabricated the spread of communism by China and Russia towards the rest of South East Asia, citing the Domino Effect, if South Vietnam falls. South Vietnam did fall to the North, but did the rest of South East Asia fell to the communist?

What are they doing in Ukraine under their modus operandi? They accused Russia of attacking Ukraine for 'no reason', refusing to mention or talk about the Minsk Agreement and the 14,000 killed by Ukraine in a genocide attempt against Russian speaking citizens in the Donbass region. Even the UN did not consider those pre war atrocities, only harping on the Russia liberation of Donbass as an act against an innocent and angelic Zelenskyy and Ukraine. Sure, NATO's expansion was also a factor that Putin took into account for his actions. NATO wants to expand right up to the doorstep of Russia, which Putin cannot allow. Same as the USA finding fault with Russian influence in Cuba and confronting Russia. What is not sauce for the goose is not sauce for the ganda, to put it the other way round.

Now, what is the USA doing with China under their modus operandi? All the usual negative narratives about China and all about some thing standing out. China is evil, a threat to everyone around the world, even a threat to the UK thousands of miles away, spying on everyone, but with not an iota of proof, while the USA spied on allies in Europe with the Europeans just taking it in the groin without a whimper, despite being caught red handed.

Chinese products are now all used for spying - communication networks, mobile phones, even washing machines, refrigerators, bread toasters and balloons are in the demonisation playbook. Very soon, they may extend the list to include ladies' bras, shoes, handbags and horror of horrors, panties and marbles inside underwears. Chinese used to say, if you do not do evil yourself, you will not have fear of knocks on the door at midnight. The USA seems to have a paranoia about everything Chinese, but certainly not about asking them to buy more treasuries and hold more USA debts.

The US pressuring allies and crony states

The Russian FM claimed diplomats flocked to take pictures with him against US wishes

The US government pressured other nations to diplomatically isolate Russia, but many pushed back, sometimes directly defying instructions from Washington, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said.

Moscow's top diplomat shared a story from his visit to Egypt last July to speak before the Arab League. The US and its allies unsuccessfully attempted to prevent his appearance, or stage a concerted condemnation of Russia by member states over the conflict in Ukraine, Lavrov claimed, citing Ahmed Aboul Gheit, the secretary general of the organization.

When the lobbying effort failed, Western nations asked Arab delegates “to at least not to take pictures with Lavrov – and I am not joking,” he said.

“For the record, after my speech, which took over an hour, each of the envoys asked me to pose for a picture,” Lavrov concluded....

He praised the members of the Arab League for defying the call, saying such an act “would have required a lot of political courage, if some other nations, including in Europe, were to take it.”  RT

This is a perfect example of how the Americans have been pressuring its allies and crony states to do its bidding.  And recently all the American allies and crony states were again pressured to put unnecessary and humiliating Covid measures on Chinese tourists visiting their countries. This resulted in China telling its citizens to stay away from these silly countries and depriving them from earning Chinese tourist dollars. A typical example of cutting their noses to spike their faces. Serve them right for being cronies and stooges of the evil Americans.

Now which silly countries have been screaming that it was China that was pressuring them to take sides against the Americans when the truth is that it was the Americans that were the real culprits. Another example of accusing other innocent countries of crimes the Americans themselves committed.

Some comments in RT.

TBTB
This is how the US got its banana republics to vote against Russia at the UN, with a lot of bribes, threats and demands. The Arab league which is usually a stooge of the US, at least its prominent members, acted courageously and responsibly this time. The West influence is waning across the globe and it will be apparent as time goes by.

Waryaa Moxamad
IT IS SIMPLE: They pumped the airwaves with "RUSSIA IS ISOLATED" narrative, which they still do. However, from Asia, to Middle East to Latin America to Africa, Russia is not isolated. U.S. has used corrupted international bodies like OPCW & UN SECRETARY GENERAL OFFICE to make it appear that Russia is isolated. Even using its sanctions power to bully small nations to bite accordingly or bribe officials.

Audemars
Americans [USA], as in the B I T C H E S of lsrael, have no moral authority to give Arab nations "instructions" regarding foreign policy. Given all the stagnation and bloodshed they have caused in the region at the service of their masters and under false pretext, respect is earned, not demanded.
IvaSrb
These actions contribute to Russian strength.
Repressed and exploited Nations recognize momentum and are indirectly taking side.
Soon, they will take actions and oppose WEST by all means.
Arab League, we salute You.

N.O.T.A.None_Of_ The_Above
Someday, it just may dawn on the Americans that nobody in their right minds can take them seriously. Unfortunately, the US will likely just resort to using bigger threats and bigger guns to try to get their own way...

Rebecca Howell
Please, Arab League, don't show everyone your support for Russia while we paint Russians as the bad guys. Hey, guess what, people can judge for themselves who is trustworthy and the people of Islam were warned by their prophet not to trust the West. At least to this point this is realistic. So the tide will turn.

Israel - The arrogance of a small aggressive state

Sanctions and military threats are the preferred ways of dealing with Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said, claiming the approach was necessary to stop Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

“If you have rogue regimes that are [intending to get] nuclear weapons, you can sign 100 agreements with them, it doesn’t help,” Netanyahu told CNN's Jake Tapper on Tuesday, three days after a drone attack widely believed to be Israeli hit a military facility in the Islamic Republic.

“I think the only way that you can stop or abstain from getting nuclear weapons is a combination of crippling economic sanctions, but the most important thing is a credible military threat,” he added....

Over the years, there have been number of sabotage and assassination operations in Iran, targeting the country’s military, nuclear scientists, officials and installations. Iran and many international observers have blamed Israel.

Israel has also launched hundreds of airstrikes in Syria, which its government touted as necessary to counteract Iranian influence in the war-torn country.  RT


The above is from an article in RT titled, 'Netanyahu explains Iran approach'. Israel by any means of measurement, is a small state. But the arrogance of Israel, behaving and talking like a super power, is exceptional and obvious and this could only happen for one simple reason, it is backed by the USA, the world's number one terrorist state. Without the USA, Israel would be wiped out within days by the Arab countries.

Today, not only did Israel invaded and occupied the land of the Palestine, the whole of Palestine has been turned into a concentration like Auschwitz, the Palestinians are prisoners in their own land. The Israelis are also expanding and moving into Palestinian land. And the US pretended that nothing has happened. The UN is no where to be found. From a piece of stolen land from the Palestinian, now Israel is about to take over the whole piece of Palestinian land. The western media are so quiet about this sorry and deplorable state of affair. Where got aggression, where got human rights violation, where got war crimes?

After defeating the Arab states in several wars with the backing of the Americans, the Israelis now is planning to attack Iran, a country several hundred miles away, to deter Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons while itself has acquired nuclear weapons with the help and consent of the Americans. The Israelis is behaving just like the Americans, only they, the Americans and Israelis, can have nuclear weapons, not anyone else. Their nuclear weapons are for peace, and can brag about nuking any state the labelled as enemy. Other states having nuclear weapons are dangerous, not for peace. What sickening rationale is that? The rationale of terrorist states.

Did UN hear anything about Israel's aggressive plans and aggression against Iran? Where is the UN?

Who are the rogue states, with nuclear weapons and everyday at war with other countries and threatening to use nuclear weapons? China, North Korea? Common, stop the lie. The rogue states are the USA and Israel and the NATO states. Period.

Israel, a small state, with the backing of the Americans, is threatening to bomb and attack Iran. It is attacking Syria and Palestinian everyday. In the West and the American rules based order, what Israel is doing is peaceful, within the rule of law? 

What do you think?

The unmitigated gall of his pompous a$$ to accuse another nation of being rogue when they are terrorizing the native Palestinians, randomly dropping bombs on Syria, and using their Bankster influence to sabotage Lebanon is absolutely revolting!

Iran, better hurry up and get some nukes, or you'll be getting a very unwelcome visit from the evil twins.

Covid19 - Chinese New Year Festival in Anxi, Fujian

 

Mind-blowing TEMPLE PARADE with 30,000 people in Anxi, Fujian | EP10, S2
Feb 2, 2023 Pageant on Immortals, or Youshen in Chinese, is a folk custom in south China to pray for good fortune. It often includes statues of deities and a parade team that leads and carries the statues. This time in Anxi, I went on a self-organized temple parade (or you can call it pageant on immortals) with 30,000 people - 人山人海 ! They carried the god and went on a 3 day long parade. On the first day we covered 15km which was a really mind-blowing thing... This is the real off-the-beaten track in China, and fulfills all your fantasy about China!!! 

Ps. Qingshui god is also an important god in Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, where Minnan people can be found! 

0:00 Intro 2:47 Qingshuiyan Temple 3:38 Fireworks 5:44 Heading to the parade 16:46 Food at the parade 21:37 Townhall area

 Anxi is not a major city, in rural Fujian. The people are celebrating a new year in this traditional event and everyone chipped in, doing their parts, praying and providing free drinks and food to all the believers and worshippers. One startling question, is this a nation of people suffering from millions of Covid infections and people dying everywhere, all in mourning, in pain and suffering? Or a happy and prosperous people thanking their gods for their good life? Did the festival in Anxi, a rural town say of a people and country suffering of widespread Covid infection?

PS. The producer, Yan, a young lady from Anhui, China, has a PhD, very likely from the US. She just did a solo trip over 9 countries in 161 days on her way home, starting from Switzerland, across Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, UAE, Iraqi Kurdistan, Oman, Nepal, Malaysia.
