China collapsing? USA doing fine? Why Yellen needs to visit China?

 The MSM is still trying to portray the USA economy as doing well, while denigrating the Chinese economy as heading for a collapse. All that rosy stuff about the US stock market and banking system has been fueled by the money printing frenzy, benefiting the top 1% of USA society, with little trickling down to the rest of the country.

If the USA is indeed doing so well and with China falling apart, why is Janet Yellen and top business leaders warning that the USA cannot decouple from a perceived fracturing China? Why not just let China fall, which is their main objective, right? Micron is still investing US$600 million to upgrade its facilites in China, despite being sanctioned. Isn't it a waste? Why did Elon Musk and Bill Gates still find it benefitial to head to China, when the collapse of China is imminent? It does not make sense, right?

Since China is deemed to be collapsing, would it not be logical to decouple as fast as possible, in order to avoid the carnage? Why is Janet Yellen wasting time going to China to talk about repairing and improving ties that serves little purpose with a collapsing China, when the USA is in reality so keen to make China fall to pieces? Does it make sense?

Looking at the reality, if the USA is doing so well economically, and China doing so badly as claimed, why is Yellen still pleading with China not to sell US Treasuries and even asking China for help to buy even more? How could that be logical? When one country is doing so badly economically, would a country doing so well need to ask for help from a failing country? Moreover, according to global studies, China's GDP growth is expected at 4.5%, while the USA is at 1.8% for 2023. Who is doing better than who?

Oh, just in passing, does the discovery of cocaine in the visitors area of the White House has anything to do with the 'highs' in the thinking of those in the White House itself and visiting Journalist? Of all places, cocaine inside the White House is real madness! Maybe drug addict Hector Biden has something to do with it. Hmmmm.....interesting!

Yellen in China - Will China be duped again after being duped by Blinken?

 Yellen is in China trying to sell her snake oil, ie China must buy more American Treasury Bills. It is good for China to do so. And China must also not sell its holding of American Treasury Bills. They are good for China and the Americans would be very kind and grateful to China for helping the Americans from bankruptcy. Trust the Americans, trust Yellen, trust Biden.

The Americans are all very hopeful that Yellen would be able to con the stupid Chinese leaders to go on buying and keeping American Treasury Bills so that the Americans can pay for all the weapons and soldiers to fly and sail around China to threaten China and bully China, and also to prevent China from uniting with Taiwan. And also to shoot down Chinese balloons to tell the Chinese they cannot do anything about it?

The Americans seem to know that the Chinese leaders are stupid and easy to bluff. Just say a few nice words and Yellen can go home happily to tell Biden that he can call Xi a dictator again on her return. And Americans can sail and fly their warships and war planes all over China to tease China. And America can continue to sanction Chinese companies and leaders. And China could only kick their own asses for being duped again, and again and again.

Is this going to be the picture after the Yellen visit? Have the Chinese leaders learnt anything yet, or at least learnt something after Blinken's latest visit that the Americans would continue to support Taiwan's independence and sell more weapons to Taiwan to fight China? And Biden would continue to call Xi a dictator immediately after the visit to tell the Chinese how stupid they are?

What do you think? Are the Chinese leaders still suffering from the 'Stupidity has no cure' disease, would not learn, cannot learn, and would want to be stupid in front of the Americans, the whole world and the Chinese people? That the Chinese stupidity is predictable, that the Chinese can easily be conned and duped by the Americans without fail?

Terrorism is American and western code word for Muslims or freedom fighters

17 minutes of the massacre going on in West Bank, Palestine, that the western media refuse to report, no cries of genocides or war crimes unlike in Ukraine. George Gallaway was incensed to see this massacre of the Muslim/Arabs by the Israelis supported by the Americans and the West. Silence, cannot talk about it, because Muslims and Arabs are subhumans, not blonds or blue eyes. No need to bother unless it is in Xinjiang, though nothing of the sort happening there, only wild imagination and fabrication of the Americans.

 Israel just announced that its raid into West Bank and attacks on the Palestinians as anti terrorist operation is coming to an end, after bombing and killing tens of Palestinian freedom fighters. What the Israelis and Americans demonised as terrorists were heroes and patriots to their country men. The Palestinians killed and massacred by the Israelis were fighting for Palestinians and their land occupied by the invaders, the Israelis. 

It is understandable for western and American crony media to report the Palestinians as terrorists. It is unforgiveable for Muslim and Arab media to call them terrorists and blindly used the American and western label for these freedom fighters. 

It is no coincidence that when the Americans invaded Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia etc etc, they went in to kill waving the flag of anti terrorism to disguise their mission to kill Muslims. It is also no coincidence that all incidents or attacks by the freedom fighters, fighting against the oppression of American Imperialism an western powers were Muslims but called terrorists. It is no coincidence that the fighters in the Muslim South of the Philippines were called terrorists and the American forces were in the Philippines to destroy the terrorists.

The Americans, the world's number one terrorist state, conduct state sponsored terrorism to invade countries, conduct regime change an incite riots on the streets, would not call terrorist groups supported and funded by them and fighting for them in Syria or other parts of the world as terrorists. In reality, war contractors, mercenaries etc etc are the real terrorists.

The Americans used the term terrorist for their anti Muslim operations to try to disguise their acts as not anti Muslim, as anti terrorist, in the same way they attacked China and try to cripple China but disguising their hostile acts as anti CCP, not anti Chinese people. If they succeed in destroying the CCP, it would mean the destruction of China and the good life of the Chinese people.

Similarly, they went about conducting regime change against Arab and Muslim countries in the name of anti terrorism. They went to Africa to offer military aid and assistance to fight terrorism, against terrorist groups trained and supported by them. They trained and finance Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden, but turned around to call them terrorists when they were no longer useful and time to destroy them.

Be very clear, anti terrorism is the American code word for anti Muslims, and anti CCP is anti Chinese, anti China.

It is a shame that the UN and hypocrite America and western states say nothing and do nothing to stop the massacre of the Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza and continue to allow the Israelis to occupy Palestinian land in the same way the Americans took over the land of native Americans.

Racist Trump started the hate Chinese madness

 Trump was the one that did the most damage to US/China relationship and Joe Biden just made it worse. These two will have to take the most blame for destroying the already fragile US/China fragile relationship existing before. Of course it was starting to fracture when Obama was in the White House, but most people never expected to see the relationship going downhill so fast.

During the 2008 financial crisis, China bought massive amounts of US Treasuries to help the USA weather the storm and steady the ship. But over the years, China realised that the USA only showed ungratefulness and treated China as an enemy to be destroyed. Trump created the biggest anti-China rhetoric during his term, orchestrating a trade war that was to lead to USA's citizen viewing China as enemy Number 1. There was to be no turning back after that.

China is beginning to play hardball with the USA after all that Trump and Biden did, and are still doing during their Presidency. With new Chinese leaders taking a more hardline approach to issues with the USA, it becomes more and more difficult for them to see eye to eye. It used to be generally give and take on issues, but had descended into confrontational in approach in Anchorage, Alaska.

In the midst of all this, it is basically near impossible now for Janet Yellen to persuade China to help with buying more US Treasuries, which is her actual mission, with many saying that this present visit realistically is nothing about repairing relations, which is not the paramount reason for her visit this time around. Begging for help would be putting it too harshly, but persuading the Chinese to help would be putting it mildly.

High speed trains - Japan bids but has no intent to deliver

 Japan is the only competitor to China's high speed train technology and high speed train projects for countries in the world. And Japan has been competing fiercely with China for high speed train projects in Indonesia, Vietnam and India. Japan won both contracts in India and Vietnam and almost won the project in Indonesia as well. By a stroke of luck, Indonesia chose China and is now the happy owner of a brand new high speed train system from Jakarta to Bandung, completed and ready to roll. The Indonesians has rescheduled the launch of the high speed train to August to coincide with its Independence Day Celebration.

India signed the contract with Japan in the same year but due to some strange reasons, the project is as good as being abandoned. Only 10km of the track has been laid to date. In the case of Vietnam, the situation is quite similar and despite the urgency and appeal to complete the project, Japan has told Vietnam that the completion date would be in 2045! This is as good as telling Vietnam to forget about the project. The Vietnamese could not believe what the Japanese told them. In desperation, the Vietnamese went knocking at China's door to take over the project. India too went to China. Both countries wanted their trains and were frustrated by the big delay. Vietnam has seen the advantages of the Laotian high speed train and now the Indonesian high speed train all ready to go makes them fuming.

What happened to the Japanese for failing to deliver the trains for India and Vietnam? The Japanese have the technology and resources to build the trains but surprisingly nothing really happened. A massive train project would require a lot of engineers, technicians and skilled personnel. And bidding 3 projects at the same time would be a big strain on Japan even if it really wants to build them.  

My view, the Japanese have no intention to build any of the trains for India or Vietnam, or for Indonesia in the event that they won the contract. Japan's intent in participating in the bidding for the projects was to act as a spoiler, to prevent China from winning the bids. Their goals are quite similar to the Americans, just to stop China in whatever it was doing, to stop China's growth and progress at all cost. A secondary goal was to bring down the price to prevent China from making decent profit from the projects. With Japan offering another bid, China was forced to bid competitively if it intends to win.

Japan did make China pay a heavy price for winning the Indonesian project with very low returns. But China persevered to complete the project on time to maintain its integrity and honour as a major construction monster. What was unfortunate was for Japan to end up winning the projects in India and Vietnam, projects that Japan had no intent to honour or to deliver. Japan did achieve its objective of depriving China from winning the projects. In a way, both India and Vietnam were also in favour of Japan winning and assisted Japan to become the winner. Japan likely did not bargain for it, did not want the projects.

Well, the rest is history. The two projects in India and Vietnam were non starters. Japan just played along for a while and then simply abandoned both projects to the dismay and anger of India and Vietnam. India and Vietnam trusted Japan as their friends and did not expect to be betrayed by Japan, as pawns in Japan's fight against China. They were both sacrificed by the cunning and selfish Japanese. This is the price rogues had to pay for having rogues as friends.

By a stroke of good fortune, Indonesia was saved from becoming Japan's sacrificial lamb and now smiling as the proud owner of SE Asia's first high speed train. Karma works in a mysterious way. The evil ones are now licking their wounds for dancing with the devil Japan. Good riddance. Japan did not care or feel any remorse for playing out India and Vietnam in its anti China plan.
