China Reaching Last Straw With American Bastardry

Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang said in a Tuesday media briefing that China was seeking “a sound and stable relationship with the US” but that the Biden administration’s call for “guardrails” in their relationship was the US signaling “that China should not respond in word or in action when attacked,” adding: “That’s not possible.”

If the US does not draw down its aggressive position towards China, Qin warns that “conflict and confrontation” will be inevitable.

Also, Chinese leader Xi Jinping issued an unusually blunt rebuke of U.S. policy on Monday, blaming what he termed a Washington-led campaign to suppress China for recent challenges facing his country.

“Western countries—led by the U.S.—have implemented all-round containment, encirclement and suppression against us, bringing unprecedentedly severe challenges to our country’s development,” Mr. Xi was quoted by state media as saying on Monday.

Mr. Xi’s comments marked an unusual departure for a leader who has generally refrained from directly criticizing the U.S. in public remarks.

The Philippines is going down into chaos. Marcos Jr should be fearing for his life

Mercenaries entered the home of Negros Oriental Governor Roel Degamo, while he was having a meeting with his constituents. One of the armed men walked further and once he had eyes on Degamo, he then shot the guard in front of him… https://t.co/O9LgB19w0Fpic.twitter.com/kAEcqf0FVM

“My government will not rest until we have brought the perpetrators of this dastardly and heinous crime to justice,” President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. said in a statement.

The country has a history of political violence, as well as Islamist and Communist rebellions. Over the last month alone, Lanao del Sur governor Mamintal Alonto Adiong Jr. was wounded in a brazen attack that left five of his bodyguards dead, while the mayor of Maguindanao del Sur, Ohto Caumbo Montawal, was wounded when two gunmen shot at his vehicle. In the northern Philippines, vice mayor of Aparri town Rommel Alameda and his companions were gunned down by men reportedly wearing police uniforms in yet another attack last month.  RT

After Duterte brought order and stability into the Philippines, now we are seeing it being turned into a state of violence and anarchy. Soon martial law is going to be declared following a military coup. And one Asean member is going down. Would this be the beginning of the breaking up of Asean? Would this be the beginning of turmoil, tension and war in the South China Sea. Would any banana republic in Asean think they should meddle with the Philippines like they are meddling with Myanmar's domestic affair, thinking that all is well in their own banana republic?

See how fast the Philippines is being taken down? With a month, 4 governors/mayor were being shot by armed men, rich armed men that could afford the best uniforms and equipment, and even came in 3 SUVs that they conveniently abandoned after the killing of the governor of Negros Oriental. These gunmen are very rich and well funded.

Can Marcos Jr save the day and his young Presidency? Or would he too be taken down?  Any loudmouth in Asean saying anything about the lawlessness in the Philippines and want to teach the Philippines how to run their country?

Would there be any wise and strong leader appearing in the Phililppines to contain the unrest and uprising?  Be sure that if there is a military coup to seize power from the democratically elected President Marcos, the Americans would be there to support the coup leaders. That is how strongly the Americans would support military coups and regime change against popularly elected national leaders.

How long can Marcos Jr survive and live to tell his story? Dark days have fallen onto the Philippines.

Who is behind the unrest and killings?

Ukraine War - Americans playing its European allies like in a game of death

They talk about wanting de-escalation, while every day the USA is bent on sending more weapons to Ukraine, and even asking allies to do the same. The USA even tricked Germany to send tanks to Ukraine, by first offering their own Abram tanks.
When the Germans fell into the trap of agreeing, the USA came back with the story that they need time, probably six months to a year, to produce those tanks for Ukraine, modified of course, without the special armour casing. The Germans meanwhile committed themselves and were caught with their pants down. Scholz had been played left and right like a puppet on a string. Actually, he is stuck in the mud, because his coaliton partners are not in sync with his thinking.

The USA and Nato are playing the game of setting booby traps to push each other directly into the war. Germany initially was trying to push Poland into the cauldron by allowing them to send German made Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Then Germany got itself entangled by promising tanks for Ukraine after the USA agreed to do so. They have to follow directly behind the USA and look at what benefits have Germany and the EU gained so far.

Did anyone notice the new headline on Channel News America regarding the Ukraine War? It was previously titled 'Invasion of Ukraine'. That has been changed to 'Russia Ukraine War'. Something happened. That war actually started well before Russia's liberation of Donbass, possibly since 2008 when Ukraine's neo Nazi forces were attacking the two breakway region of Donetsk and Lugansk. On MSM's narrative noticeably, the war started only in February, 2022 and all atrocities committed by Ukraine against Russian speaking residents in Donbass was never even considered or mentioned.

Now, there is even talk of a German Defence Contractor setting up a tank manufacturing facility in Ukraine. How long is that going to take and will Ukraine last that long? Would the Russians let it be constructed? Is energy any cheaper in Ukraine now to support such a facility? They must be thinking like children building stuff with Lego bricks, by just putting them together and talking as if that is going to scare Putin.

Fake qualifications - Why the fuss after more than 20 years? And why wait till 1 Sep and not now?

SINGAPORE: Companies that want to hire foreigners on an Employment Pass (EP) from Sep 1 will have to ensure their educational qualifications are authentic.

Employers will have to submit third-party verification proof for applicants with diploma-level qualifications and above, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said....

Last October, a man was sentenced to seven weeks' jail after making false statements in his declaration for an EP. His EP was approved based on the false statements that were made in February 2019.

In 2021, MOM investigated 23 foreigners who had declared qualifications from Manav Bharti University in India. Two people were jailed for submitting false qualifications in their work pass applications, while 19 were permanently barred from working in Singapore.

The probe in Singapore began after MOM was alerted that India's government was investigating the university for selling fake degrees.  CNA

Is there really a problem? After tons and tons of complaints in the social media, nothing substantial was done to curb this problem, as if it is a fake problem. And this could really be the case, no problem, because after more than 20 years of importing all the foreign talents, there are so few cases discovered or caught. In terms of percentages over millions that were imported, it is likely to be 0.00001 percent. The problem is so small, why go through all the fuss of enforcing checks and now third party checks? Is this not a case of the benefits outweigh the problem?

If this is a serious problem, why wait till now, and still have to wait till Sep to implement this? Would the cheats use this window to come in quickly to avoid the checks? Actually the foreign talents are all very honest type. That is why so few were discovered. And you see how nice they dressed up, and the strings of straight A qualifications, they all look like excellent material, very talented.  If only 0.00001 per cent is the problem, can always ignore this insignificant problem and benefit from the foreign talents to replace our no talent Singaporeans.

What do you think? Got problem or no problem? We have no problem for more than 20 years. Everything was just fine. Why so much fuss? GE coming?

Declining fortune of the evil American Empire

One thing though, the doggies would not bother to check as to who wanted de-escalation. They just believe in what the USA says, and that is the absolute truth and enough for them. Whereas, for others, we have to check and verify if they are true, otherwise it is presumed to be fake and untruth statements, especially if you are an anonymous commenter. Right RB?

Bombing Moscow or Beijing is a far different proposition than Iraq or Libya, as they did not have the means to fight back and were destroyed comprehensively. The USA controlled the air over Iraq and Libya, as they did in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Nato did the same in Yugoslavia, carpet bombing Yugoslavia for more than two months, killing hundreds of thousands. No war crime?

And talking about Vietnam, the North was not even in the league of Russia or China then, not to talk of today, in terms of military capability. Support had to come from China and Russia. Millions of tons of bombs were dropped by the USA on the Vietcong fighters, but even that did not win them the war, despite having as much as 500,000 USA troops, at one stage, on the ground in support. And they think that threatening Russia by providing Ukraine with fighter jets is going to change the game against Russia?

And of what use of further sanctions over chips for military use, when a Middle Eastern country is providing Russia with semiconductor components for Russia's military usage. How long that has been going on, I am not sure. Yes, a Middle East country helping Russia with semiconductors for military use. Not Iran by the way, but the UAE. Should be true.

The other unverified news is that the USA is now working on sanctions against China, in which case China will undoubtedly provide Russia with pivotal weapons for use in the Ukraine War. China and Russia are expanding trade beyond the US$ and giving Russia the financial support to keep the war going and that is the reason the USA is targeting sanctions on China. India is helping Russia with oil imports as well, but why is the USA and doggies not talking about sanctioning India? Providing weapons to Russia is one retaliation that China can use, if it comes to the stage of sanctions being imposed on China.

If the USA and Nato escalates the war by providing fighter jets to Ukraine, that means all gloves are off and Putin will raze Ukraine to the ground. By the way, with most airports in Ukraine already destroyed, where will those fighter jets take off from, other than from a Nato country, and that means WW3 will kick off as well.

Actually, Putin must destroy Ukraine totally, as keeping parts of Ukraine still under control by the USA via Nato will invite more trouble later, just like Taiwan. Mao made the mistake of not purusing the KMT leftovers right towards the island of Taiwan. That would have prevented the trouble China is having toady. Putin's intention right now is probably to destroy Ukraine, leave it as a buffer zone against the expansion of Nato, get rid of the neo Nazis that could reignite trouble for Russia, and killing USA's intention via Nato to station nuclear missiles within reach of Moscow.

There have now also been loose talk on social media of Russia intending to play the same game as the USA by placing nuclear missiles back in Cuba and also in Venezuela, if the USA escalates the war by providing fighter jets to Ukraine. True or not is unverifiable yet. Actually, building more nuclear missile capable submarines would be a better alternative for Russia and China in case of a pre-emptive strike by the USA against their mainland.
