The US started to create instability in Pakistan

 Just read the news about Chinese engineers working on the Chinese funded port development project in Pakistan being attacked. Hardly surprising turn of events. Now, this is why the USA needed to fund that regime change to put their stooge into power, all to take down all the co-operation between Pakistan and China while Pakistan was under Imran Khan.

This is the reason why the USA had to resort to install stooges in places like Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Thailand, the Pacific Islands among many others, with work in progress still ongoing in Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, all to ensure China does not succeed in forging closer co-operation with these countries as well.

The USA is deviously and discreetly killing two birds with one stone by bringing PNG into its orbit to prevent China closing in on influence in PNG, and indirectly instilling unease against Indonesia by having a military presence just across the border. One does not know how this will play out when Widodo's presidency ends and another USA successfully installed stooge takes over.

This may sound unlikely, and difficult, as Indonesia is a Muslim country with a huge Muslim population, but Pakistan is also a Muslim country with a huge population as well, but now under USA control via the stooge President, the Military and USA bribed Parliament. Money is the universal passport to subversion and control. Money talks and bullshit walks.

The USA is attempting to start the fracturing of ASEAN unity and the group's close ties with China. The Philippines, the known weak link in the grouping, would be ideal, but the Philippines does not have the capability, capacity nor the influence to carry this out. Indonesia is the largest country in ASEAN, the biggest ASEAN economy and carries a lot of weight in its influence on the whole of ASEAN. Indonesia and Vietnam are the two main targets of USA's move to destablise ASEAN. Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia will be difficult to succeed via regime changes for the USA, as all have historical close relationship with China, and are beyond the USA's attempt to install stooges.

More Trouble for TSMC in Arizona; American Workers Hate Taiwanese Culture

A U.S. labor union has started a petition calling for Taiwanese workers to be prohibited from working on the construction of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (TSMC) Arizona facility.

The Arizona Pipe Trades 469 Union started the petition to prevent visas from being issued to foreign workers after TSMC said it would send Taiwanese staff to help with project delays.

The petition is being sent to U.S. legislators and asks that “more than 500 EB-2 visas the company has requested for construction workers” be blocked.

“TSMC has shown a lack of respect for American workers, placing profit above worker safety and deliberately misrepresenting the quality, skills, and experience of Arizona’s workforce,” the petition reads. It comes after the founder of TSMC said in July he was unhappy to learn that unionized labor would be building the facility.

In late June, TSMC said that it would send more workers from Taiwan to the U.S. to work on building its semiconductor manufacturing facility in Arizona, but it did not say how many workers would be sent. Sources familiar with the matter who said it would be “several hundred.”

On Monday (Aug. 7), TSMC agreed to apply more scrutiny to the safety of its workers on the Arizona project, beyond what is required by state and federal law. The agreement followed an American Prospect investigation in June, which reported workers who said “injuries and safety violations are rampant," and union representatives who said two workers had died on site (one directly related to a workplace accident, the other by drug overdose).

Workers said that because the project was behind schedule, TSMC was cutting corners on safety. The business director for the union that created the petition, Josh Wakeham, said in one instance workers were told to hastily evacuate the site because of an “active-shooter drill,” when in fact there was a gas leak.

“So, no one trusts them,” Wakeham said. “It’s their culture of, ‘Hey, we’re not trying to slow down any productivity, get back to work, nothing to see here.’” Workers have also complained of a "brutal" work culture at TSMC facilities, a complaint that was dismissed by the company's Chair Mark Liu.

TSMC rejected the claims made in the report and said no workers had died on the site. “For TSMC Arizona, our safety and injury incident rates are significantly lower than state and national benchmarks,” the company said in a statement.

US is a ticking time bomb - Biden

 Biden's mental clarity is getting badder everyday. He keeps confusing himself with what he is saying. He talked about Iraq War when he was actually talking about the Ukraine War. His latest slip, he was reported to say that China is a ticking time bomb. Everyone knows that he is talking about the USA.

China may not be roaring with 10% GDP growth, but still a respectable 5-6% growth compares to the 1-2% doctored growth of the US. Very likely the US is already in the recession. And despite all the trade wars and sanctions, the Chinese economy is still functioning normally and likely to chalk a 6% or higher GDP growth for 2023. On the other hand, the unstoppable printing of money, the unpayable American debt of more than $31b, the growing trade deficit, homelessness, drug addiction, the war in Ukraine, and trying to keep up with the Joneses to impress the world when the US is already a bankrupt country, still pretending that it can cough out another $600b to build a fake BRI without even a blue print, when are the Americans going to find the real money?

Who is the real ticking time bomb Biden is talking about? China? Or America? And if inflation is added, US inflation is 12% - 15% compares to China's 2%, who is in deep trouble? Who is the real ticking time bomb?

Biden may be demented, but knowing who is the real ticking time bomb must not be too difficult to know. Why Biden dared to call China a ticking time bomb when the whole world knows that it is the USA that is ticking and about to implode or explode. The dedollarisation is in full swing. BRICS is serving out a menu to sideline the American dollar and the American SWIFT system and this would be announced in August in the 15th BRICS Summit. The sky would collapse on the Americans, and Biden would still not know what is real and what is unreal and who is the real ticking time bomb. An economy on the verge of collapsing and depression and laughing in glee and hoping to talk down an economy growing at 6% GDP. The Americans still unable to accept that their myth that the Chinese are good only to be cooks and laundrymen is in tatters, and the Chinese are beating them in every field of science and technology and that they are no longer able to compete with China fairly but have to resort to underhand, unethical and unfair tactics.

Biden's ticking time bomb could have a more evil meaning. They may be planning to strike at China. Biden said, 'when bad folks have problems, they do bad things'. The world's number one terrorist state, warmonger, are having very serious problems and are going to do very bad things.

PS. China is run by bad folks because they did not want to lend money to a poor and broke America with US$31 trillion of debt and still spending like a drunken sailor.

Letting Saudi Arabia join BRICS is crucial as the US is getting desperate about de-dollarization.

The Wall Street Journal on Aug 09 says:

[In exchange for U.S. concessions to Saudi Arabia, the Biden administration is seeking assurances from Saudi Arabia that it will distance itself—economically and militarily—from China, say U.S. officials.

The officials said the U.S. could seek assurances from Saudi Arabia that it won’t allow China to build military bases in the kingdom—an issue that has become a sore point between the Biden administration and United Arab Emirates. Negotiators could also seek limitations on Saudi Arabia using technology developed by China’s Huawei and assurances that Riyadh will use U.S. dollars, not Chinese currency, to price oil sales, they said. The U.S. also is expected to look for ways to end the feud over oil prices driven by Saudi Arabia’s repeated production cuts.]

Also yesterday, the WSJ reported in its column 'The Scary Math Behind the World’s Safest Assets' - about US swelling debt pile and diminishing global appetite for US Treasury securities - that " Having the world’s reserve currency and a printing press that allows it to never actually default makes America’s situation far better, though not consequence-free.

Pakistan - regime change engineered by the Americans against a popularly elected PM

 On a seperate topic, I want to talk about Pakistan and the successful installation of a USA stooge now running the country.

When Imran Khan, the Pakistan PM, who was among the earliest leader to visit Putin in Moscow at the start of the Ukraine War in February, 2022, I had a bad feeling that he would surely be removed somehow. The USA and the West was then spreading the narrative that Putin had no friends and was isolated. With the narrative starting to unravel, the USA immediately went about bribing the opposition in the Pakistani Parliament, resulting in a no confidence vote against Khan, and he was removed in April 2022.

Khan had been a thorn in the USA side and in the bad books of the USA even earlier, when during an interview he spoke of his admiration for China and how hundreds of millions of Chinese had been lifted out of poverty, which gave him the encouragement to sound out his intention to implement an attempt to do the same in Pakistan. Many analyst were fully in support of his wisdom and his leading of Pakistan in the right direction. He never was given the chance to follow his heart, as following China's footstep is against the USA's agenda of linking everything that is wrong to the Chinese system.

For Pakistan to be allowed to follow the footsteps of China, a non democratic country and yet able to outdo the USA, the self professed beacon of democracy, that was clearly mired in homelessness and languishing with almost 40 million (according to 2021 official census) of its own citizens living below the poverty line, it was a slap on the face of the USA. Why Imran Khan was not following the USA's democratic ideal speaks volumes of what works and what doesn't? Imran Khan's own outspoken message from his heart was what the USA found it hard to swallow. The truth hurts and Khan had to be removed, with an orchestrated regime change, obvious and clearly defined.

Now the USA is pretending to be as innocent as an angel, telling the world that what is happening in Pakistan is just an internal matter. Yeah, with its stooge in power, the USA is perfectly agreeable with that. But, what about Niger, where the USA stooge is on the other side of the fence and being removed? The USA and its allies are fabricating all the narratives to demonise the new military regime. Niger will not end up peaceful and safe when the devil is intent on creating trouble.

Does the love of the Muslim Ugyhurs in Xinjiang not in stark contrast to the fate of the Muslims in India? Hindus in India are more lovable that Muslims now, all because Modi is a Hindu, supported by Hindu fanatics. Modi is using the divide and rule tactic to cause friction between different ethnic and religious groups, with elections on the horizon. Hindus form the biggest majority ethnic group in India.

Any poor country is game enough for the USA to do a regime change, just by bribing the opposition to do its bidding, like the attempt made in Thailand recently. Or the failed attempt in Myanmar with the Aung San Suu Kyi experiment. The USA has all the money printing machine and power to do that, which no other country has the privilege.
