What is wrong with you?

 How many Koreans and Chinese did the Americans killed in the Korean War?

 How many Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians did the Americans killed in the Vietnam War?

 How many Afghans did the Americans killed in the Afghan War?

 How many Iraqis did the Americans killed in the Iraq War?

 How many Syrians and Muslims did the Americans killed in the Syrian War?

How many Libyans and Muslims did the Americans killed in the Libyan War?

How many Slavs and Muslims did the Americans killed in the Kosovo War?

And we are not asking about the native Americans and black African slaves killed in North and South America.

Other than the Korean War, when hundreds of thousands of Chinese young men and women died fighting the Americans, China was not involved in any of these wars and did not kill anyone, 0, not even 1.

And the Americans demonise China as an aggressor, the bad guy, and you believe in this lie?

What is wrong with you?

And so many Arabs and Muslims have been massacred by the Americans in the above wars and in Palestine everyday, and you believe in American shit that there is genocide in Xinjiang and China is violating the human rights of the Uyghurs?

What is wrong with you?

And no Muslim countries, not even one, believes in the American lies about Xinjiang, but you still believe in the American lies!

Biden is so lucky...He is protected by Dementia. He has no problem, he can't remember any.

 

The advantage that Biden has over Xi is that he has his dementia to fall back on as an excuse, and does not need to remember what problems he is facing. He needs to be told what is happening by his handlers, appointed by the Deep State. So by saying that Xi has more problems than him is not wrong, as he cannot remember what problems he himself is facing.

Even on the rostrum, he needs to refer to prompt cards telling him when to sit down and when to move on. Sometimes, after a speech, he turns around to shake hands with invisible people and sometimes he just wanders off in a daze. He is definitely suffering from 'elderly abuse' by his handlers.

The most ridiculous part is that he has a Vice President that is not able to help him, but instead is a big liability, totally unable to do anything correctly. Kamala Harris made basic mistakes visiting countries and embarrasing her host, and makes loud cackles to cover her inability to answer serious questions by laughing them off. On being given the job of looking after the Southern Border, she is reported to have made blunders that the Administration had to correct afterwards.

Of course there are also mistakes that Biden himself made, like boasting of a 'US$350 billion Digital Transformation' for Africa that had to be walked back afterwards by the
Administration and reduced to a mere 'US$350 million', or US$7 million for each of the 51 African countries. US$7 million to do what Digital Transformation? That is worse than the US$15 million given to each ASEAN country for patrol boats, which is already an insult.

Biden is basically looking down on Africans as beggars with such meagre aid, that had Africans and the world sniggering at it. That US$350 million is not even enough for each African to buy a roll of toilet paper, knowing that Africa has a population of 1.4 billion. Even beggars in Red Dot are asking for much more to buy lunch, which you can imagine how much it is.

Oops, sorry, are there beggars in Red Dot?

Apple producing Orange phones in India

 

Apple tried producing Apple iPhones in India, but the Indians are helping Apple to produce Orange iphones instead.

Now, Apple is not the only company getting what it deserves. Japan and China tendered for the construction of high speed rails in India and Japan was selected for the project. But it turned out that the inability to get the contract was in fact a blessing in disguise for the Chinese. Why?

Japan found out the hard way that doing things in India is not as straight forward as they thought. Indians are famous for adding in conditions and varying contracts after they have been signed. In one instance, the Indians varied the conditions in the contract unilaterally, by insisting that the Japanese have to use Indian made steel for the construction, which the Japanese found out to be substandard. Of course someone had to give way eventually. Moreover, the Japanese are going to find plenty of complaints after the completion of the HSR, which is expected from the Indians and compensation will be asked for sure, in order to lower the price.

The other problem the Japanese found out too late was the difficulty of land acquisition from private owners for the rail construction by the Indian Government, which delayed the project and added to the cost. India is a democracy and getting things done is not as simple as in China. Bureaucracy and public opinion matters as Indian voters can be difficult to deal with, and the India Government had been known to have been forced to walk back on policy changes.

The reason China can move so fast and progress so well is the system that made moving forward so easy. There are no voters to hold the Government hostage. What took democratic countries years to move from planning stage to start of construction, the Chinese had probably already finished their projects and moving on. The HSR in Laos is an example, while the Indian HSR is still stuck midway over land rights. India had plans for HSR since the 1980 and not one line is complete with numerous still just under consideration.

Investing or gambling in India

 Many states have invested in India and many have pulled out, crawled out with bruises all over them. Many western corporations too have gone in and out and made a lot of losses before calling it a day, knowing that the unfathomable rules and Indian ways of doing business are beyond them to comprehend and to make money from their investments. Indian laws are very watery and very flexible and very like the American's so called rules based order. There are laws and there are lawlessness depending on which side you are in.

But India is still very attractive in the long term. It still has a lot of room to grow, a lot of potential, a lot of people, a lot to build and improve. India has a lot of everything to those looking for opportunities to invest. Many see India as the next China and are willing to jump in as the first mover to reap big profit should India becomes the next China. India has many similarities with China and expecting India to be like China is a reasonable hope. Of course there are differences, especially in the culture and politics of India. And there is this great democracy that India boasts about, the greatest asset of India and also the biggest trap for foreign investors.

Modi has set 2030 for India to be a developed country. This is good news for all investors and believers. To achieve this goal, India must move very fast, must change very fast. The India of yester years would not do. China is lucky in a way, with a central govt that could make quick decisions and move things quickly, central planning and top down policies, something that a great democracy like India would be difficult to do. The Chinese people would accept top down decisions with lesser resistance. The Chinese culture of respecting authority, the central govt, are a plus which India would never be able to do.

For the optimists, there is always hope and a brighter future to look forward to. Investing in India is a long term process, and can be a very long term process, maybe a never ending process. There are many sink holes and quagmires in India that investors would have to navigate very carefully. Many of these are unpredictable but obvious and investors are wary of.

So far not many investors, private or state, have been successful investing in India. Have not heard of a foreign investor making it good in India. No success story to tell. Only Indian companies are successful with foreign capital, ie easy money. For individual or state investors, when the going is tough, keep going, keep throwing in more money and hoping for the best. To some, when too much have been sunk in India, it is a road of no return. It is like gambling in a sense. Pulling out is not an option as the losses are colossal and too frightening to tell. So just keep throwing more money into the bottomless pit and hope for the best, hoping that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.  If not, just stay invested and keep pretending that all is well and one day, not sure if that day will come, one day they will be able to recoup their massive losses.

Investing in India needs a lot of fat hope and a lot of money to lose. And it is really a long term investment, maybe for decades and generations to come, before one can see profit, if it ever comes. As long as one stays invested, as long as one has the money to keep investing, no one would know the losses.

India is a place where angels would not dare to tread. Only the exceptionally brilliants, or the hopefuls, or the gamblers, would dare to risk their money in India. Hopefully the money they risked is not their own money, but OPM. When OPM is concerned, just keep gambling and hoping, all will be fine in the long run, in the long, long run. If not, just run.

There is always the possibility that India would be another China in the long run. Modi's target is 2030, not very long to wait. If Indians can run all the top American companies, then Indians can surely turn India into like American companies. The US is a big democracy just like India. Only difference is that American democracy came after the country got rich from looting and stealing other people's land and resources and massacring the natives of the land. India is a democracy before it comes rich, and had its resources and wealth stolen by the likes of the Americans, ie the same AngloSaxon Brits. And also had its people massacred by the British.

Who has more problems? Xi or Biden?

The unravelling Ohio train disaster is starting to be a topic that the USA Government originally had been trying very hard to suppress, with balloongate taking top attention by the USA Government to divert attention over the environmental disaster unfolding, Biden's hidden documents, Hunter's laptop, Biden's involvement in blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, and the perceived failure of all the sanctions against Russia. What is less prominentaly discussed is the effect of those sanctions hitting the EU more than Russia. It backfired badly.

Toxic chemicals are now said to be leaking into groundwater and acid rain is forming over a wide area. Social media is now covering the disaster widely, with mainstream journalists arrested earlier on the pretext of interfering with Government people fighting the chemical leak. The long term disastrous effect is unknown, but will certainly not be admitted.

By the way, another train derailement occurred in Texas, also carrying toxic chemicals. This is the result of infrastructures not being propertly maintained, which is going to haunt the USA going forward. They have an unending flow of money for the Ukraine War, US$350 million (originally it was US$350 billion) for Digital Transformation of Africa, US$150 million for buying patrol boats for ASEAN, US$600 billion (US$200 billion from USA) for global infrastructure developments to compete with the BRI, but unable to have money to refurbish their falling infrastructures. Besides the real money flowing into Ukraine, the rest of the planned aid are probably just basically hot air that never got off the ground.

PS. Biden alleged that Xi has more problems. 

Yeah, Xi is trying to find time to meet foreign heads of state visiting China. Big problem. 

Xi also trying to find time visiting the villages to greet the Chinese people Happy Chinese New Year.  Big problem to meet 1.4b people across the China.
