China builds companies, India steals companies

 You see, boasting about wriggling their way up into top positions in companies built up by others is no great feat. How many home-grown Indian companies have we seen from India competing successfully globally? Not more than a handful.

At home in India, Government laws can be enacted to take effect retrospectively to punish foreign companies with trumped up charges and fines. They are doing this so glaringly against foreign owned companies and taking them over with atrocious accusations. This is not just against Chinese companies, but against Western companies as well.

On the other hand, you can count on hundreds of Chinese companies competing successfully globally in every sector - in consumer electronics, drones, EVs, computers, AI, shipbuilding, space exploration, global satellite communication, smartphones and even in higher education now.

We have seen Chinese smartphones and EVs everywhere because they are clearly visible in the public eye. We seldom hear much from China boasting about those not in the public eye, about cutting-edge tech that even the West is talking about in high-speed rail innovations, bridge construction, tunnelling machines, agricultural machines and equipment, construction machinery, irrigation canal construction, water diversion schemes and reversing desertification expertise.

Huawei was thought of as an exceptional company, but in China's context Huawei is just as ordinary as any Chinese company. BYD and DJI are also seen as exceptional, but in China there are many others just as innovative. That, my friends are what really scares the USA and the West. And that is what they are trying to curb with their over-capacity hubris.

India in BRICS 引狼入室 - Stupid leaders would invite thieves and robbers into their homes

 India has nothing to offer to BRICS. India itself is the 'Trojan Horse' cultivated and being offered to BRICS by the USA and the G7. BRICS was blindsided but should learn its lesson in accepting future members. Having to live with its misstep, BRICS just needs to be very careful with India in case of subterfuge. Be very clear about that.

India does not even produce enough for export to warrant making the rupee more acceptable globally. And India is only making a lot of noise complaining about trade deficits and the rupee not being more widely accepted. India is taking a leaf from the USA's cry-baby victimized hubris, blaming other countries like China for its trade deficits. What does the USA produced that are cheaper than what other countries can offer, and which other countries really needs, besides its fake superior and highly expensive weaponry? Now only trying to corner the semiconductor sector, but too little too late. Moreover, can such entities operating in the USA be able to compete globally on price alone?

India too is not going to compete well enough globally in manufactured products, lacking the manpower in science, engineering and mathematics to helm its migration from a service-oriented economy to a manufacturing hub. 60% of Indians are still engaged in agriculture. Forget about the 'Made in India' boast and its plan of becoming the factory of the world. India can still be one, but not withing three decades in the footprint of China. That is asking for the moon and the stars.

Where are the Indian supply chains? Where and how widespread is India's hold on raw materials that it needs globally? And where are the infrastructures to complement the opening up of manufacturing hubs, like roads and rails (not to talk about high-speed ones). During COVID19, we saw India at sixes and sevens trying to supply medical equipment such as oxygen tanks to hospitals that were faced with massive difficulties due to transportation bottlenecks. Have they improved on that I wonder, and knowing how fast things move in India, I would not bet on it.

The problem is that India has the plans for everything, but the issue is India does not have the expertise and the political will to get it done. Democracy is more a hindrance than an asset for India.

PS. Wait for China to invite American cronies into their space station and worry what they will do to destroy the space station.

A country labelled as a threat has no right to exist - Israeli/American Doctrine

 A country that is a threat has no right to exist and must be destroyed, including all its people. This is what the Israelis said of the Palestinians. This is the doctrine of the savages. And though the Americans did not openly say this, it is practising this doctrine everywhere and everyday since its seizure of the land of North America from the native Americans. The native Americans are a threat to the European invaders and must be destroyed, genocided for good.

This is also the reason and excuse the Americans are using to label countries as threats to America, meaning that these countries must be destroyed. Iraq with WMD, fabricated by the Americans, so was destroyed. Afghanistan, Syria and other Arab and Muslim countries are terrorist threats to America and must be destroyed. Gaddafi wanting to sell oil in their own countries, Saddam Hussein wanted to do the same, so a threat to America and both were murdered in cold blood.

Russia is a threat to Europe. Russia wanted to conquer Europe. The Americans said so, and thus is a threat to Europe and America and must be destroyed. No country that is called a threat to the Americans is allowed to exist.

China is a threat to America because it is getting too rich, too advanced technologically, so China must be destroyed. China cannot be allowed to be richer and more powerful than the USA.

This is the dangerous doctrine of the white savages. They simply label a country as a threat to them and use this as a justification to destroy a country and its people. The Palestinians are the second people to be destroyed in history, the first in this new century. The first people that were labeled a threat, labeled as savages, were none other than the native Americans, the Red Indians.

Others on the list are the North Koreans, the Iranians, the Cubans, the Venezuelans, and many others in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.

Be warned, when the white savages, ie Americans, Israelis, Europeans, called a state a threat, it is as good as saying the state is marked for destruction and its people for genocide.

South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol is in trouble

 South Korea's Yoon Suk Yeol is in trouble over his wife corruption and stock manipulation.

The whole affair is fraught with changing statements and attempted lying by Yoon over the bag issue. First, he claimed that his wife told aides to return the US$2,200 luxury Dior bag which they forgot to do so. Why can't his wife return the bag herself? Then he later admitted that accepting the bag by his wife, caught on camera, was 'unwise'. That clearly shows he was lying in the first place. In South Korea, those in political power and their family members cannot accept gifts of more than US$750. There is also the stock manipulation issue to be resolved.

We all know that many South Korean Presidents have been in deep trouble over corruption charges and Yoon is going to find his come-uppance very soon. Moreover, South Korean nationals are not as meek in their demands like the Japanese and some others and are known for their tenacity in pushing charges against politicians accused of corruption. Yoon will unlikely get off unscathed and worse than that, may find himself behind bars like many other former South Korean Presidents.

Yoon, for his attempt to snuggle closer to the USA is causing economic pain to South Korea and like Japan is facing headwinds going forward. Already, South Korean conglomerates are facing stiff competition from China, and with energy costs much higher than discounted Russia oil for China, the problems of competing against China will only escalate.

Sorry, but I have to quote Kissinger again that being a friend of the USA is indeed fatal.

The myth and lies of western surveys

 Never forget that China is still the happiest country in the world, and only by a sleight of hand did its position be given to a White country - Finland seven times in a row. And the top ranked countries are kept being dominated by Anglo-Saxon White countries.

So, it was Finland six times before, and China upended its position in 2024 until it suddenly crashed out. But they have to continue to keep the lie going by taking out China and putting Finland on top again for a seventh time, and probably many more times you can be sure. China came out tops in 2024 a couple of months ago, and probably more years before that, and suddenly disappeared in a flash in the rankings. How is that possible? China now ended up at position 60 from top in just a matter of days or weeks. That must be a world record in terms of alpine skiing.

That means, Finland's six-time history of being the happiest country is probably as suspicious as the fabricated Iraq war. But who knows? So long as the evidence is wiped clean, and only those who came across it before the deletion took place, can testify to the hanky panky business in global ranking matters.

PS. China was number one, Saudi Arabia number two,  happiest people in the world until they were removed from the survey.
