Americans praising mediocrity and stupidity to flatter India

Many expat Indians realise that the Modi government will take India to the cleaners. Both India and China were independent Nations, only 2 years difference. 1947 and 1949, both had to work through hard times, but now look at the difference. One has pulled people out of poverty, whilst being accused of all sorts of lies and the other maintains the caste system of poverty and rich. Yet it is always patted on the head by the West. Where did it get them?

 All China companies should forget about investing in India market and if India want to buy any products from China let India go through another party and paying much more expensive for it . The whole world even the West and EU doesn't like to invest in India.

Heard Wistron from Taiwan too, and it weren't new. It happened to many other MNCs too like Amazon, Samsung, Coke Cola, etc. Doing business there are full of bureaucracy, red tapes, diversed interpretation of the laws from state to state, insincere partners, etc. Even national projects ain't immuned from such problems, like the high-speed train with Japan.

 All investors should be careful of the deceptive 'Modi's Operandi' who plays versatile roles as the Snake Charmer and the Snake.

Above are some comments to a Youtube clip titled 'BYD saw through India’s “trap”, Modi abandoned China’s 7 billion investment plan.' While India keeps on crowing about how good it is as a country, the biggest democracy, the biggest population, the youngest population, forgetting about low literacy and low skill, the Americans are behind India, echoing how great India is and how great India is going to me, but knowing very well that it was all a hoax, just to butter the pride of India, a run down third world pretentious country with ambitious big power dream.

The Americans know very well that India is a failed state, struggling to look good with, creating a facade of big power by words. In substance, India is a very backward country in practically every area except fora a couple of fields when it is making some progress. Practically everything in India that is modern and advanced is bought. Nothing much of indigenous industries that can compete with the world. But not to worry, the Americans would appease and flatter the Indians of their potential to greatness but knowing well that it is all a big lie. The Americans are masters of lies. And lying to the Indians about how great democracy is knowing that democracy is the Achilles heel of India. Democracy is the biggest obstacle to India's growth to be an advanced industrial nation. The Americans even turned to look away from India's atrocious records of human rights violation and discrimination against its minorities, pretending that all is fine.

Deep down, as long as India is a struggling pretentious state, wanting to be there but never to be there, the Americans are very happy with India and manipulating India to become an accomplice in its war against China and Russia. India is useful as a not threatening state to American hegemony. A little stroking is all it needs to make the Indians to orgasm and willingly doing the wills of the Americans. The cost of flattering India is very low and the rewards very high. And the Americans would keep on praising India's mediocrity and unproductivity as great virtues of India, the next super power in the Indian Ocean. And ignoring the widespread corruption and cheating across the system and government. The Americans just keep silent about the 800m of illiterate workers in India. Period.

 

US kicking its own backside again

 What re-engagement is the USA talking about when Biden is putting in place more restrictions on USA investments in China, targeting sensitive sectors of technology, thereby indicating that it is upping sanctions against China in the technology sector again, hyping on 'national security issues'.

Suffice to say, China should also respond to that tit by retaliating with a tat, by selling off its total Treasury holdings, not to talk about being persuaded to buy more, because it is a 'national security issue' for China, clear and unambiguous. But don't hold your breath, waiting for an immediate response, because China needs time to calibrate its retaliation where it will hurt most when that happens.

What Biden is doing by continuously escalating the tech war, is basically to shore up his support for his re-election in 2024. What else can he do as this is the only sector that the USA has an advantage against China? The Chips war is unravelling, as otherwise why is there a need to go further, knowing that China will retaliate. The fallout from Intel's warning about scrapping plans to build the biggest chip foundry in the USA took a hit on Biden's support base, and he is desperate to find other rhetorics to shore up his standing. The question is - is it going to hit China hard, or going to backfire as always?

Take those sanctions against Russia for example, which were gloated to be all about trying to cut off any and all financial support for Russia's Ukraine War funding. The USA itself, meanwhile, under the surface, still buying 15% of its uranium requirements from Russia, deviously and discreetly supporting Russia to the tune of US$1 billion a year, and obviously sabotaging, in no uncertain terms, the sanctions that other countries are foolishly trying to enforce and suffering for it.

On another recent topic, Mongolia is reported to be gifting 31 million tons of rare earth to the USA to extract. Now, first question is who is going to invest in Mongolia to extract those ores? Next question is who is going to set up expensive facilities in Mongolia to refine those ores? Even the USA needs China to refine rare earth ores for them, and China is not that foolish to do it for Mongolia.

Rare earths are actually not rare and can be found everywhere around the world. Australia and India are among the top eight countries with substantial reserves, which could be more easily secured than in such a place as Mongolia. This announcement is more like making a mountain out of a molehill, without taking into account the long journey those ores have to take to become usable final products. Moreover the infrastructures like roads, ports and rails are not ideal for such an activity in Mongolia.

And let me once again put it in perspective about countries investing in rare earth refining facilities. They can pour all their fortunes into such ventures, but there is always the threat that all those investments could end up in smoke, as and when China chooses to flood the market with cheaper Gallium and Germanium to kill them off. The fact that China controls so much rare earth reserves, and is simultaneously controlling 60% of global refining facilities, there is a lot that China can do that others do not have the luxury of doing.

World heading toward multipolarity, US must get used to it

Nothing can better describe the US' reaction than "nonsense" to the China-Russia joint patrol near Alaska. The US could not even defend its own logic. If the China-Russia joint patrol was in international waters, how can it be viewed as a "provocation" or "aggression"?

The China-Russia joint patrol are exercising true freedom of navigation, because they have not intruded any other country's waters, unlike the US.

The most ridiculous part is that three of the four destroyers, dispatched by the US to monitor Chinese and Russian ships, namely the USS John S. McCain, the USS Benfold, and the USS Chung-Hoon, have trespassed into Chinese territorial waters without permission.

What qualifies the US, the redline breaker, to accuse China and Russia, who have been following international laws in the patrol? The US' response is equivalent to a high-profile declaration that the entire Pacific Ocean is an American lake. So, who is really the authoritarian aggressor?

Over the past years, the US has repeatedly trespassed into the territorial waters or adjacent waters of Chinese islands and reefs in the South China Sea and has continuously stirred up troubles and instability in the Indo-Pacific region. The US is the biggest threat to international maritime security and the world's security. US politicians should feel ashamed for their gangster logic. They are basically saying that Chinese and Russian navies should stay in their ports while the US Navy can roam the world and establish military bases wherever and as many as they want.

The Pacific Ocean is vast enough to accommodate the peaceful coexistence of different countries. It doesn't belong only to the US, and the US doesn't have the final say for the region.

It is hoped that one day when the Chinese and Russian navies pass through the Panama Canal or the Caribbean Sea, the US will uphold the same "freedom of navigation" standards as how it views its warships' operation in the South China Sea.

The world is heading toward multipolarity, and the US will only find out that its hegemony and authoritarian control over the world will face more and more questioning and challenges. The US will have to get used to it sooner or later.

Western manufacturing that left Russia or China are suffering

 Western manufacturing that left Russia or China are suffering or will be suffering the consequences in time to come. Those voids that they left will be taken over by domestic companies waiting on the sidelines, giving them opportunities to take over plant and machineries, all ready made for them.

The Chip War against China is leaving unlimited opportunities for Chinese companies to fill the void. It is not a dead end for China, as it has all the experience, expertise and availability of skilled workers to fill the void. Samsung and Foxconn are going to find the shift to India a misplaced decision and a colossal mistake, and returning to China is not going to be without problems either. Apple's iPhone manufacturing in China has now signed on Luxshare Precision Industry as one of it's iPhone production supporting player, taking a piece of the cake left behind by Foxconn.

Moreover, the USA had warned Samsung against taking up the void left by the Chinese sanctions against Micron's Nand memory chip supplies in China, so Samsung is now left in the lurch, even with its intended return to China. Chinese companies like Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp (YMTC) are taking over the void left by Micron, not even needing Samsung to fill the Micron void. As China's priority is now centred on building up its semiconductor facilities, more of such domestic companies are rising in ranks to take on the task of filling the void left by foreign manufacturers leaving China. It could be construed as a blessing in disguise, thanks to the USA. The push against China is going to result in a Tsunami for the USA and the West. As they say, what does not kill China will make it even stronger.

As I said before, who wins and who loses in the Chip war is still not a foregone conclusion. For sure, Chinese equipment makers are not the only ones suffering the sanctions. And we have yet to see what kind of effect those restrictions imposed by China on rare earth elements will do to those foreign chip makers. Any retaliation by the USA will see a similar tit for tat from China.

Ukraine - The ideal battle ground for the rest of the world against America and the West

 The Americans and the West want WW3 to stamp their authority and control of the world. Ukraine is only the beginning. Nato wants to spread to East Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Originally supposed to be an alliance to defend against the USSR. Nato today is an offensive alliance to control and dominate the world by means of war. Some Nato members already sending warships to the Pacific Ocean, through the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea in provocative behaviour to incite a war.

The war between the West ie the white men and the rest of the world, the coloured people, for freedom and survival is unavoidable as long as the white men think it is their right to rule the world, to rule the coloured people to serve them and their good life.

With this clearly in mind, the rest of the world must cooperate and collaborate to fight the white men. They must choose the battle ground and not allow the white men to do so. The latter would want the battle ground to be in East Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Pacific Ocean, anywhere except Europe and North America. The rest of the world should seize on this opportunity with the war in Ukraine, Europe, go for full support of the Russians to take on America and the West. Let Ukraine, Europe be the battle field, fight in the homeland of the white men. This is an ideal battle ground and Europe would be ruined instead of the rest of the world.

The white men are all behind Ukraine against Russia. Russia is more or less fighting alone, with a few exceptions, like Iran, Belarus and China on its side. Why is it wrong to be on Russia's side against the aggressive Empire? It is time the rest of the world takes side and stands behind the Russians. This is the final battle for freedom and the right to live freely, not be controlled and dictated by the white men. If the white men can close ranks to fight together, why are the coloured people not closing ranks to fight together? If the coloured people are still divided, they would be taken down one by one, under the divide and rule formula of the white men. Unite to survive or divide and be vanquished.

Let Europe be the final battle ground for this Clash of Civilisation. Being selfish, did not want to be involved and thinking it would be safe is foolish. There is no option for fence sitters. You are in and may have a chance to be on the victor side, or be a loser by hiding on the sideline. All the European countries know this and have thrown their weight behind Ukraine in the final battle for survival of the fittest.
