Biden coercing Americans to buy expensive stuff NOT Made in China

 To the Americans, or specifically to Biden and his Washington Circus, China making cheap and good products to sell to the Americans and the rest of the world is bad. China must be stopped from selling these good and affordable stuff to the Ameicans and the rest of the world. Get it?

A slew of sanctions on Chinese products have been rolled out by the Biden Administration against imports of Chinese steel, EVs, solar panels, mobile phones, 5Gs, port cranes, etc etc. In effect, Biden is saying to the Americans, they have no rights and access to buying cheap and good stuff from China. They must buy expensive and often poor quality goods and products Made In America. And the best part, many of these goods and products are not even made in America. It would take years to establish the production and supply lines for these products to reach the American consumers.

The sanctions is now. The poor or not so poor Americans, and even the rich Americans, have to make do with whatever they have, can buy, whatever that is available on the American shelves in Walmart. Caveat, soon Walmart's shelves would be empty of Chinese products.

Would this erection of an economic wall help the Americans and the USA? Would the Americans public be helpless and forced to buy expensive and undesirable goods Made In USA and Europe? A case in point is EVs. The Americans know that they cannot build better and cheaper EVs than China and are now closing their EV factories and singing a new song that ICE cars and hybrids are just as good if not better than EVs. Are the American public that stupid to believe in this lie?

For now, the Americans would have to make do with ICE cars or pay for more expensive Tesla, Made In China but at American prices due to higher tariffs, just like living with their made believe 4.5G and pretending that they are using 5G.

The Empire of Lies are lying to the Americans to live and make do with their own lies. Buy America, pay more for obsolete and poor products Made In America. On the other hand, the rest of the world would be enjoying good quality products Made In China at very cheap and affordable prices.

Good by America. Your cocoon is growing smaller and smaller.

USA is digging its own grave

 The USA is digging its own grave. After having forced the Russians to form an alliance with China, it is forcing Iran and other Middle East countries to do the same thing. Africa is not theirs to dictate to anymore. So are the South Americans. Now they are making the Middle East Muslim countries take a stand.

BRICS is not doing any military confrontation with the USA. It is an economic alliance, with de-dollarization its main objective. BRICS is not out to destroy the US$ as they claimed, as the US$ is too integrated in its Global reach, but to marginalize it and have an alternative for global trade. And most importantly to counter its weaponization usage, that is getting more ridiculous and outlandish.

The USA and the West have been talking for a long time about confiscating Russian assets in Western banks. The consequences of doing that is immense and they have not done so for fear of the backlash. Russia is not without any means to retaliate against that move. Western assets inside Russia are said to be as much as US$290 billion, which Russia can also seize. That will cause a massive outcry by Western parties having such assets seized by Russia. And Western Governments have a lot to answer for that.

Such a move against Russian assets is bound to also influence Global investments in its treasuries and bonds. Who would want to invest in such assets knowing they can be seized at the whims and fancies of the USA? It is suicidal to make such a move.

Similarly, Western assets in China are also immense and can be an insurance for China in case things gets out of hand. The global economy is so intertwined that what one party can take advantage of, the other side too can do the same. Alls fair in love and war, or so they say.

Israel chickens out. Deal reached, Israel puts up a show but did not attack Iran

 Iran is unlikely to retaliate against the latest Israeli strike, and just downplaying it shows its stand. But Iran is strongly advising Israel to consider making further provocations. That should not be construed as Iran is afraid of Israeli retaliation or that it is weak. That is my personal view. Iran is not interested in aggravating the situation but will do so if its 'interest' is threatened. Which possible means if Israel strikes its nuclear facilities, that must be their 'Red Line' of tolerance.

The USA and the West are literally pushing Iran into unknown territory, which it will counter just like China did. The fact that Iran is so well advanced in military equipment manufacturing shows it is not stagnating in those sectors. Iran is even exporting such military equipment to Russia right now, like drones. Instigating Iran and trying to drag the Iranians into the Middle East conflict is going to backfire badly against Israel and the West.

The recent conflict involving Israel and the West is making Iran change its stance going forward. The most serious change that is coming could be Iran's message to Israel and the West that it is changing its stance and not refraining from trying to possess nuclear weapons, which it had been forbidden at present due to religious constraints. Iran is now seriously looking into changing this issue of religious constraints, as it is a question now of 'National Security' needs. Experts are saying that Iran is even capable of having the bomb in months, as they have the technical expertise to do so. And with Russian help, nothing is beyond their capabilities.

The other important change is the message sent by Iran discreetly to Israel that already surfaced over Iran's strategic use of drones and missiles in waves and it now knows how to take down the 'Iron Dome' invincibility, which as it goes further, is no longer a deterrence against other Middle East Muslim countries like Iraq, Syria and Lebanon which Israel is also trying to drag into the conflict with its latest strikes against them.

Israel is going to be flattened like Gaza, if all four countries, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon were to launch simultaneous strikes from all directions, with Hamas now reported to be strengthening as well. How else could Hamas be weakened, especially with those whose families have been destroyed by the IDF? Hamas cannot be destroyed and will instead grow stronger with those new recruits wanting revenge at all costs. Experts argued that Hamas is an ideology and cannot be destroyed like a terrorist group.

PS. If Israel were to hit back in force after the Iranian attack, Iran would respond with greater force leading to bigger escalation. Iran has promised to strike back immediately if attacked.

Who is there to reclaim North America from the Anglo Saxons for the native Americans?

 Historical records also support North America as belonging to the Native American Indians. But who is claiming back North America on behalf of the Native American Indians regarding their rights? The Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Whites went, saw and stole the lands from the Native American Indians.

Oh, I forgot, the Native American Indians have been decimated by genocides to prevent them reclaiming their lands. If only they had the numbers, like the Chinese, for such an event to happen. Now perhaps only a few million Native American Indians are left as specimens, living in reservations that will forever pose no threat to the Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Whites. The USA Government called the 326 reservations as 'Tribal Sovereignty'.

China was almost given the same genocidal treatment, but through sheer numbers and tenacity the Chinese fought back. The Japanese were probably banking on the success of the 8 nations tearing China into pieces, so that they can occupy China, perhaps as appointed policeman by the Anglo-Saxon Imperialist Whites. Just like what the Philippines is hoping to become in ASEAN. The Philippines is becoming the outcast, the pariah of ASEAN states sooner or later. Who else in ASEAN is so beholden to the USA I wonder? Philippines will be condemned as the ASEAN country that brought instability to ASEAN by sleeping with the devil.

As I always say, China must watch the Japanese closely. They are sneaky, untrustworthy, on the side of the Imperialists, and even considered themselves as Whites during their glory days after rising post WW2. They in fact demanded to be treated as Whites in South America and Africa at one stage. That is how arrogant they became.

Now, Japan falling from grace and beset with huge problems with its economy and falling population is a desperate animal. The same situation as they were during WW1 and 2. Now Japan is going to the de facto leader of Asia Nato. China beware!

Pictorial essay of West Street in Quanzhou, 泉州, China

 Quanzhou was an ancient sea port, the first open to the world. They are still buildings of mosque and churches, temples and monastries. Marco Polo came through this port when he first visited China. The city is touted as a place to visit at least once in a life time.

West Street in Quanzhou is a popular place for the young and tourists. Two rows of ancient one/two wooden storey shop houses lined the 1 km street offering street food of numerous varieties and souvenirs. And you can get real bargains for Quanzhou porcelain wear eg tea cups at 2 or 3 rmb a piece, and porcelain images of deities, buddhas, and other features.

The streets are packed with visitors just simply jaywalking and enjoying a casual walk. The street is car free. Next to this street is the famous 1,000 year Kai Yuan Monastry with two towering stone pagodas still standing.
