Yen tanking, whither Japan?

 The Japanese Yen just tanked to a 38 year low. Intervention is on the cards. But where is Japan going to find the resources to prop up the tanking Yen? Selling its USA treasury holdings is the only answer. Japan is already the country with the highest debt to GDP ratio among countries in the whole developed world. Borrowing more will be a disaster upon a disaster.

Japan is not like the USA, able to print toilet papers without consequences. Japan doing it will cause massive inflation, the likes of which will decimate Japanese businesses and the Japanese people. Already Japanese worker's wages have been stagnant for decades and the falling Yen is adding more misery to its people's living standards. But Japanese businesses cannot afford funding wage increases to help workers fight inflation.

But selling USA treasuries to prop up the Yen is against Yellen's strong warning. She warned Japan not to go overboard with propping up the Yen. So, should Japan just let the Yen dive even lower? Kishida is in deep trouble now, with just 10.4% of Japanese wanting him to remain as PM in a recent poll. When you are a puppet state of the USA, even farting needs permission from the master. Let this be a lesson for Taiwan and the Philippines. Of course, if they are clearer minded enough in their observation, what is happening in the EU should give them a good lesson.

I still cannot get it regarding the talk that Japan is also trying to sanction China and bringing more trouble upon itself. Japan should just live with their deflated ego that China has overtaken them for good and not bring more trouble for its people by following diligently the dictates of the USA. Nothing good will come out of it by following Satan. Satan will only bring doom to others and lead them to hell.

Decadent, corrupt and dysfunctional American Democrazy versus super efficient CCP that is for the people, by the people and with the people

 Picking on mistakes by communist countries had been the preoccupation of the USA and the West. Then, most Communist countries were still largely dirt poor after WW2, with the Soviet Union providing just a semblance of a communist country competing against the democratic system of the West.

After WW2, the USA, untouched except in Hawaii and facing no destruction on the mainland, became the richest country in the world, providing loans to other countries for rebuilding and selling weapons galore. The Jews in USA rose to prominence in the scheme of things and now controls all the major banks in the USA. Does that also tell us anything about the USA's support for Israel at all costs? The Jew's power in the USA Congress is legendary.

The Soviet Union was in no position to compete with the USA after WW2, though it tried, and by 1991 had to let go of most of its Western satellite states like Ukraine, Belarus and many others. Drawing upon the collapse of the Soviet Union, the USA thinks its sole superpower status is sealed and unlikely to be challenged again. The thinking was that no other country will ever rise to take on the USA, or that they will also collapse like the Soviet Union trying to do so. They did not see Russia and China rising under the radar over the last few decades.

However, those days of warp thinking of having no communist country competing with them are over. They betted on their democratic system being able to rule forever and spread. It is the other way round today, with democracy making all the fatal mistakes for the rest of the world to see. The weaponization of the US$ hegemony for sanctions against the rest of the world is a perfect example. The unimpeded printing of the US$ was another that caused all their debt problems, resulting in the spread of USA inflation across the whole world.

The USA and the West are now trying to cover up a massive economic misadventure and fighting tooth and nail to preserve the US$ hegemony that is ending soon. The end of the US$ hegemony will remove most of the ills plaguing the world. The USA will not be able to support its more than 800 military bases around the world, its military spending, its forever wars, its aid to Anglo-Saxon White countries to retain their imperialist aims in Africa mainly.

Suffice to say, the reported spending of the USA military officially announced is just the tip of the iceberg. It is far more than that being trotted out. Remember that they can lie without batting an eyelid. So much rampant corruption is festering within the USA military establishments. Heard of the US$600 toilet seat covers for the military that we can buy for S$40? And an item for its military (I can't remember what it was) costing hundreds of US$ that can be bought for about US$10 at a hardware store inside China? Such a rip-off is unheard of, but why worry when the USA can just merrily print toilet papers to go with it anyway?

China's rise as a communist country put paid to all the decade-long boasting of the USA and the West using the obsolete argument that democracy will always be a better system than communism. Nothing is now further from the truth. And the USA and the West are nervous of what the rest of the world is seeing with China's rise. It must be stopped by hook or by crook.

De-dollarization good news for BRICS but distressing to the USA

 De-dollarization is progressing much faster than expected and is good news for BRICS but distressing to know for the USA and the West. Venezuela, as expected is joining BRICS. Venezuela is reported to have the biggest oil reserves in the world. Trump wanted to seize those reserves during his first term and the USA is eyeing that as well today.

With that, BRICS would be controlling global oil with Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia, Iran and Venezuela put together. They would then be pricing oil outside the US$ for sure when the time comes. That will be a major nail in the coffin of the US$ hegemony.

What about other resources that BRICS countries are playing major roles? Brazil, Argentina, Russia are big players in grain production. If trade is carried out under BRICS, the US$ is also out of the equation and diminishing in demand.

What about metals? Those are essential and major commodities that are found in vast quantities in South America, Africa and Central Asia, with large concessions under the control of China or joint venture with China. Not only that, but China is also controlling the processing of most metals needed by the world.

Sure, it is time to play catch up for the USA and Europe, but the time factor is too big a gap for them to draw level fast enough. Processing logistics, supply chains and manufacturing setups are easy to talk about and dream of, but not so easy to bring about to fruition.

Americans trying to woo India away from China and BRICS

 Kurt Campbell is still unaware or acting dumb not knowing that India is actually playing both sides, pitting the USA against China hoping for them to destroy each other. He probably has never heard the saying about trusting an Indian compared to a snake.

Both the USA and India are untrustworthy snakes themselves. They both hope for the destruction of China. When China is destroyed somehow, India will not get any better treatment from the USA. That is a pipe dream for the Indians.

The USA never look at Indians or other colored races as equals. As long as India plays a subordinate role like Germany and Japan, helping and follows diligently the dictates of the USA, it will be left alone. But India already is telling the world that it is an up-and-coming superpower. The USA is not going to take that lying down when the time comes. That is why some call USA the 'United Snakes of America' not for nothing, LOL.

What are Kurt Campbell's real agenda for attempting to boost the ego of India regarding recruiting Indian students to study science in the USA. Isn't that going to lead to India becoming another China? He is actually also playing both sides, cultivating and using India to counter China with a little bit of encouragement here and there.

What makes it so difficult for China to reunify Taiwan with the motherland now?

 As every Chinese well versed in Chinese history knows that when China was weak in the decadent years ( 1830s to 1940s ) of the Ching Dynasty the Western powers comprising England, France, Russia, Germany, Spain, Italy, Holland , United States and Japan tore China apart which they referred to insultingly as cutting the Chinese watermelon to be apportioned for extraterritorial  control among the savage invaders as aforementioned and thus deprived China of her sovereignty in her own country. China was turned into a semi-colony of these barbaric invaders.

In due course China also lost large swathes of territories to England, France, Russia, Germany and Japan. England took Hong Kong and large segments of Chinese lands in South West and South East China and incorporated them into British India which is the cause of present China - India territorial dispute. Russia snatched and robbed off  over two million square miles of Chinese lands in the north, north west and north east right up to the coast of the Pacific Ocean. In 1946 Russia cut off a large area of the Chinese province of Outer Mongolia called Tannu Tuva and annexed to Russia bordering Lake Baikal ( Taken from China by Russia in 1689-1700) and then by subterfuge it granted independence to Outer Mongolia through a fake plebiscite without China's permission.  Germany acquired the Chinese province of Shantung. In 1875 Japan took away Liu Chiu Dao which they renamed it as Okinawa and in 1895 it took away the Chinese island of Taiwan.

However after the defeat of Japan in the Second World War 1945, Liu Chiu dao or Okinawa, Diao Yu-Dao and Taiwan together with the Pescadores Island Archipelago and the Paracel and Spratly islands were duly and legally returned to China by the United Nations Organisation base on the Potsdam Treaty and the Cairo Treaty all duly signed by US, UK, Russia, China and Japan.  However at the inopportunte time China was in the midst of a civil war between the highly corrupted and decadent Kuomintang ( strongly supported by the US ) and the CPC in which the US hideously undermined and sabotaged. The Communist Party of China led by Chairman Mao Tse-Tung defeated the KMT of Chiang Kai Shek a stooge of US and soon established the People's Republic of China on 1st of October, 1949. America then illegally interferred in the Chinese civil war when it it stationed its Sevenrh Fleet in the Taiwan Strait from 1950s  to prevent the PRC of Chairman Mao from liberating Taiwan to consummate the unification of Taiwan with the motherland. At that material time China was so weak that it did not have a navy to confront the evil and diabolical warmongering United States.

However, to bring the events fast forward the PRC under lines of strong, fervent, patriotic and competent selfless leadership and with almost total support of the Chinese people soon was able to lift up China like the phoenix from the ashes to build up a strong and powerful modern China with great scientific and technological indutries, a mighty military where its army, navy, airforce, missile and rocket forces are second to none and all well nuclear armed, its AI, High Tec, Cyber and space tech technologies are well ahead of others and all these highly complemented by well established successful trade and commerce industries as well as highly developed banking and financial industries.

However, the West and the United States looked at China's astronomical advancement with evil jaundiced eyes. It began to lay diabolical plans to contain China's development and to bring China down. The evil United States is now using Taiwan as a ploy to contain China. It has been illegally and illicitly arming the Taiwan Chinese traitors hoping to incite and promote a continuation of the Chinese civil war to let the Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to kill and destroy each other.

China always believe that Chinese should not fight Chinese and Chinese people across the Taiwan Strait should not kill each other. However, the despicable renegades Chinese traitors of the DPP in Taiwan who are actually descendents of  former Japanese occupation armies of Taiwan who refused to be repatriated to Japan and who camouflaged as Chinese people with Chinese names and adopting Chineses citizenship really are Trojan Horses who hope one day to hand over Taiwan to Japan again with the collusion and connivance of the satanic United States.

China always hope to reunify with Taiwan by peaceful means. However, if the diabolical Americans in collusion with the shameless Japs insist on inciting the Taiwanese Chinese traitiors to resist unification China will not hesitate to reunify Taiwan with the mainland by force of the military. If that happens and should the US and Japan dare to interfere then the war will definitely be carried over to the United States mainland and Japan. Let the evil Anglo-Saxon Americans and the Japs be warned that in this war China will not be fighting alone for Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuella and some other countries of BRICS and the South will be fighting along with China. Should the US be desperate and stupid enough to go nuclear it will be suicidal for the US, Japan and the West for China and its allies like Russia, DPRK and Iran will retaliate with full all out nuclear attacks with no limits. Let's hope sanity will prevail among the desperate psychophant Americans and its neurotic allies.

However the psychopath neurotic Anglo-Saxon Americans intend to lure China into a war over Taiwan hoping thus to contain and destroy China through their planned subterfuge warfare.

Though China is very patient and still hopes to unify with Taiwan through peaceful means but if however it is forced and obliged to unify with Taiwan through force then China must without fail ensure the quick and swift destruction of Japan and the United States with lightning strokes.

The native Americans warning that 'White men speak with fork tongues and can never be trusted' is always true and must be heeded. The United States and its Western allies in many of its treaties with China recognize that Chinese people on both side of the Taiwan Strait are one people belong to the same China in which its legal government is the People's Republic of China ( PRC ) as recognized by the United Nations Organization and by over 180 countries, yet instead of fostering peace among the Chinese on both side of the Taiwan Strait the United States reneged and went on to supply heavy arms to the Taiwanese Chinese traitors in the DPP hoping to get Taiwan secede from mainland China. The least US should do is to stop interfering in Chinese internal affairs. China has been very patient tolerating all the bluffs and nonsense from US and its allies. But tolerance has its limits. Should a war break out in the Taiwan Strait China will and must bring the war to mainland America via its hypersonic bombers, missiles and rockets and its hundreds of nuclear armed submarines. Hopefully with prior agreement and consent China can attack and bomb the United states from Cuba, Venezuela, Jamaica and Bolivia.

Let's hope the Taiwanese Chinese will wake up to the danger of US, Western and Japanese evil diabolical plots against the Chinese people and be sensible to unite with motherland China in a peaceful manner so that China need not take drastic action to unite with Taiwan by force of military means.
