Peace Also Coming Between China and Bhutan; India Shocked as Bhutan Revolt

Bhutan's Prime Minister Lotay Tshering said China has an equal say in resolving the Doklam plateau dispute, marking a significant shift in the ongoing dispute over the strategically important area. The plateau lies at the tri-junction of India, China, and Bhutan and has been a source of tension between the three countries since the 2017 Doklam standoff.

In a recent interview with Belgian Daily La Libre, Tshering said, "It is not up to Bhutan alone to solve the problem. There are three of us. There is no big or small country, there are three equal countries, each counting for a third."

For many decades, India has been controlling Bhutan's foreign policy through various means. On the one hand, India limits Bhutan's establishment of diplomatic relations with other countries. Although India has repeatedly stated that Bhutan is an independent sovereign country, it remains very vigilant about Bhutan's development of foreign relations and even opposes Bhutan's contacts with other countries.

Tshering's statement indicates Thimphu's willingness to negotiate the tri-junction's status in Doklam between India, China, and Bhutan, which lies at the heart of the dispute.

Tshering said: 'We do not encounter major border problems with China, but certain territories are not yet demarcated. We still have to discuss it and draw a line. We have come to understand each other. Last month. a Bhutanese delegation visited China and we are now awaiting the arrival in Bhutan of a Chinese technical team. After one or two meetings, we will probable be able to draw a line. There is a lot of information circulating in the (Indian) media about Chinese installations in Bhutan. We don't make a deal of it because it's not in Bhutan. We said categorically, there is no intrusion as mentioned in the (Indian) media. This is an international border and we know exactly what belongs to us."

A Bhutan-China border agreement would make the entire Doklam plateau legally part of China, a move that India rejects. New Delhi often interferes in the China-Bhutan border negotiations. China has resolved most of its land border issues through negotiations since the 1950s, but does not complete its border talks with Bhutan because India insists on representing Bhutan in the negotiations, while China hopes to directly engage with Bhutan.

China, Brazil strike deal to ditch U.S. dollar for trade

 

China and Brazil have reached a deal to trade in their own currencies, ditching the US dollar as an intermediary, the Brazilian government said on Wednesday, Beijing’s latest salvo against the almighty greenback.

The deal will enable China, the top rival to US economic hegemony, and Brazil, the biggest economy in Latin America, to conduct their massive trade and financial transactions directly, exchanging yuan for reais and vice versa instead of going through the dollar.

“The expectation is that this will reduce costs... promote even greater bilateral trade and facilitate investment,” the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil) said in a statement.

China is Brazil’s biggest trading partner, with a record US$150.5 billion (S$200 billion) in bilateral trade last year.

The deal, which follows a preliminary agreement in January, was announced after a high-level China-Brazil business forum in Beijing.

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was originally scheduled to attend the forum as part of a high-profile China visit, but had to postpone his trip indefinitely on Sunday after he came down with pneumonia.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Bank of Communications BBM will execute the transactions, officials said.

China has similar currency deals with Russia, Pakistan and several other countries.

PS. The pace of dedollarisation is gaining speed and will turn into an avalanche soon.

Rise of ancient civilisations in a century of peace

 The ancient civilisations are stirring and rising. China has a head start and India is following closely.  Now we are seeing the revival of the Persian and Arab civilisations, two great ancient civilisations of the Middle East.

The Iranians could have risen much earlier and faster if not because of the war and suppression against them by the Americans. The wide spectrum of sanctions against Iran have a huge impact on the progress of the Iranians. But this could slow down the Iranians only for a while. Now with the backing of China and Russia, the Iranians would not be suppressed for long.

The Iranians have made big strides in science and technology, particularly in modern weapons. Their drones and missiles are first class. Their radar technology and artificial intelligence have been put into use to take on the Americans and came up tops. And they are on the verge of being a nuclear power. All these things happened while under severe sanctions from the Americans and the West. 

With Iran's admission into BRICS and SCO, they would be able to trade more freely and extensively with these countries, break away from the sanctions and rise faster. And now that they no longer have to be trapped in a war with Saudi Arabia, their talents and resources could be put into good use to propel the country to greater height, to return to the great days of the Persian Empire.

Similarly, Saudi Arabia is now free to do what is best for themselves. And they have the wealth and will to do it. The years of tensions and wars manipulated by the Americans are over. With peace in the Middle East, the Arab civilisation, together with the other Arab countries, would be able to focus on their national development in science and technology and in every fields. The Arab civilisation was a great civilisation that contributed a lot for the science, maths and technology that the modern world built on. They laid out the foundation like inventing the wheel for the rest of the world to improve on. The century of waste induced and coerced by the white men to make them fight and destroy each other is over. The Arabs want to leave in peace and decide their own future. 

Now, when peace returns to the Middle East, with their natural intelligence, their knowledge built over centuries, the Arab world is also on the verge to a strong revival. They could now put their blessed wealth to do more important things to better themselves, to develop the Middle East and turn it into another centre of growth and development.

Peace is a great factor for the development of both the Iranian and Arab civilisations as well as civilisations around the world. The world had been robbed of peace by the evil American Empire for too long, wasting time and resources and human lives in unending war, buying expensive weapons of destruction from the Americans and the West only to benefit the evil American Empire. 

The 21st Century can be a great era of peace and prosperity for nations of the world when they can cooperate and grow together, without wars, tensions and instability. The rest of the world must not allow the Americans to rob them of peace and stability again. They must protect themselves with all they have, drive the warmongering and trouble making Americans away from their shores. Without the Americans there will be lesser tension and wars. Without the Americans, there will be no divide and rule, no division but cooperation between countries in win win cooperation for the betterment of all.

The 21st Century is a great moment for the revival and rise of great ancient civilisations and for a more peaceful and prosperous world. The Latin American and African nation states and nation states of the rest of the world would all benefit from peace, cooperation and development...without the warmongering evil American Empire. Do not let the evil Americans hijack peace from the world.

When peace returns, miracles would happen around the world. The rest of the world can look forward to a better tomorrow for all. Out with the evil American Empire, out with the oppression of the white men.

Numerous Political Groups in Taiwan Protest Against DPP Tsai's Betrayal US Visit

More than 30 political groups on the island of Taiwan on Tuesday staged strong protest against the "betrayed visit" of Taiwan regional leader Tsai Ing-wen to the US and the collusion between the US politicians and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to harm the island. "Taiwan independence" is a dead end. Peaceful reunification is the best way out for resolving the Taiwan question, some protesters said.

Reportedly, Tsai will travel from March 29 to April 7, stopping in New York before heading to two Central American countries of Guatemala and Belize and transiting through Los Angeles on the return leg. Her trip will include a meeting with US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, according to media reports.

Tsai's trip is expected to fully cooperate with the so-called "destruction of Taiwan" plan devised by the US to weaken the Chinese mainland, including planting landmines along the coast of Taiwan island, the extension of the service period of male soldiers in Taiwan, and the controversial All-out Defense Mobilization Readiness Act.

Tsai clearly knows the path of "Taiwan independence" is a suicidal act, yet she deceives the people to follow it and she is also crystal clear about US being world's biggest warmonger, sabotaging world peace and the common enemy of the people of the world, but she is pushing the people of the island into a pit of fire. It explains why the staged protest is against Tsai's collusion with the US.

Tsai even conferred the Order of Brilliant Star to former White House national security advisor Robert O'Brien, who made a barrage of jaw-dropping statements about Taiwan, such as proposing destroying the island's semiconductor industry. This exposes the ugly face of the DPP authority colluding with the US and Japanese imperialists and "Taiwan independence" separatist forces.

The collusion shows that the US politicians' rhetoric on "defending Taiwan" is just a facade, because its authentic attempt is to turn the island into a battlefield and treat the people on the island as a tool of war. More and more people in Taiwan have seen through the illusion created by DPP authority.

"We are all angry today! We must stand up and protest Tsai's betrayal of Taiwan, and say no to Tsai, the 'Taiwan independence' forces and the US. Only when the people stand up for themselves can Taiwan have hope. 'Taiwan independence' is a dead end. Peaceful reunification is the best way out for Taiwan," Wang Chuan-ping, vice chairman of the Labor Party.

American's amateurish divide and rule tactics no longer work

Let them try to poison Putin's mind to create a rift between Russia and China. Putin knows what is on the agenda of such talks, and who is behind all that. They are trying desperately to break up the alliance between Russia and China. With these two pulling together, the USA is clueless as to how to deal with them and bring them down.

On the other hand, de-dollarisation is picking up speed. But, it is alright as the USA and the West always like to deny the inevitable, and think that de-dollarisation is overblown. The US$ is still king as they proudly proclaimed. When the US$ hegemony does get blown over, then they will start to panic, just like taking their eyes off China and now panicking, nervous and paranoid over the rise of China.

Who is in whose pocket can be seen in who needs to visit who? Xi went to Moscow to meet Putin. If Putin is in Xi's pocket, shouldn't Putin be flying to Beijing to meet with Xi?

Biden himself, at one stage, had to eat humble pie by flying to Saudi Arabia to meet Mohammed bin Salman. He did not get the same welcome the Saudis later accorded to Xi, gets cold shouldered, ended up being slighted and went home empty handed to nurse his wounded pride. We can say that at that time Biden was indeed in the pocket of MBS.

You just have to look at the demented emperor summoning all the vassal states to Washington for meetings. ASEAN leaders went there and were given US$150 million to buy sampans to patrol the seas around the region. Latin American leaders had to fly to Washington to attend the democracy summit with the emperor, with some boycotting the meeting in protest. 49 African leaders were 'invited' by the emperor to attend a summit in Washington, and were rewarded with US$350 million for digital transformation, with each country's share just merely US$7 million. For digital transformation?

Now, isn't it obvious that going by all the indications, all those countries that went to Washington are in the pocket of Biden? Lula would beg to differ. Many African leaders would felt insulted to be branded as being beholden to the USA.

As for the ambassador to Japan, would he dare to openly admit that Fumio Kishida is in the pocket of Biden? Of course not. But we know better.
