China, India and Singapore...which is the most advanced technology state?

 China is the biggest manufacturing state in the world, second only to the US in nominal GDP term. India is the next number one super power in the world, over taking China and the US in the future. Singapore is the richest country in South East Asia and among the top 5 in per capita income in the world.

Who among the three is the most advanced technology state? China came to Singapore in the late 1970s and continued to the 80s and 90s to learn from Singapore. They were great students and learnt very fast, learnt everything they could from Singapore. They were modest and even today, China still talks about learning from Singapore and Singapore still talks about teaching China about how to build smart and clean cities, except building space station.

One thing is certain. China never talk about learning from India. Singapore also never talk about teaching India how to build smart and clean cities. Maybe Singapore knows it is not up to it when India is concerned, a great country with abundant great talents. More often than not it is India that is coming to Singapore to teach Singapore about high tech, how to run the train system which India has vast experience, how to tackle flood problems, how to be a financial centre, about IT/AI, about making chips. India also offers its top talents to help Singapore to become a modern and advanced city state, in finance, in education and in technology. And Singapore is very grateful to India. Singapore knows that it is inferior to India in many ways when talents are concerned and learning from India, depending on India is second nature. Given a chance, Singapore would want all the Indian talents to replace no talent Singaporeans.

From the above relationships it is very clear that India is the most advanced technology state. India can teach and offer a lot to Singapore. And Singapore can teach and offer China a lot too. Some still believe in the American and western narrative that Chinamen are stupid, no talent, no skills, only good enough to be cooks and laundry men. Thus it can be safely concluded that Singapore ranks number two and China is the least advanced technology state of the three. One exception, India would not dare to go to China to want to teach China about advanced technology. Wondering why is that so?

With CECA, Singapore is very fortunate to have India helping it to become a modern city state, a financial centre and a smart IT city state props up by Indian IT talents. Without the Indian IT talents, Singapore would still be struggling to become a smart city with its limited or no talent population. Modi has just been here to show Singapore the way going forward, to teach Singapore to progress. Only the Indians have the audacity to say so to Singapore and Singaporeans.

China still has a lot to learn from Singapore...but not from India unless it wants to become another India.

West want to keep Africa poor! Africa looking to China for help

 Africans are pragmatic. China was no richer than Africa more than three decades ago. Within that space of time, China lifted 850 million Chinese out of poverty. If that is not a testimonial of China's humanity, what else is to be taken as the hallmark of China's capability?

And China is helping Africa in the same way, with no bias against the stigma of being poor and should be left to fester. What is wrong with China providing aid to Africa to be paid back in resources extracted by joint ventures formulated to ensure a win-win situation? Like China today, progress in Africa is an affront to the West's intention to keep Africa poor and dependent on their colonization and pilfering of resources. All the wars that the colonial powers created benefited the Anglo-Saxon Whites and brought sufferings to the Africans. Is that what African's want going forward?

EU is collapsing! Russia and BRICS rising!

 Whatever happened to the narrative that Russia is isolated and have no friends? Whatever happened to the narrative that the Russian Ruble is becoming rubble, and Russia will collapse with all the sanctions? Oh, no, Russia is doing even better than the EU countries and will become great again. BRICS is expanding, which means Russia is having more friends in its fold. What a slap on the face of Biden, Johnson, Scholz, Macron, Von de Leyen and Stoltenberg.

The biggest irony is that the EU is collapsing instead of Russia. Germany is sliding down into the sewers, never mind Olaf Scholz still strutting his stuff about providing more aid to Ukraine at all costs for Germany.

Ukraine itself is even auctioning national assets to pay for the war, which indicates aid is hard to come by. Who is buying those sitting duck assets in Ukraine? Maybe Zelensky knows it is all over, selling everything, and taking all the money and running to his private island to live in luxury. That is provided the Russians are willing to let bygones be bygones.

Despite all the game changing moves with fresh weapons, everything looks gloomy for Ukraine. Russia is advancing by gaining more territory while the Kursk invasion by Ukraine is being taken care of by other Russian troops moved from the Eastern region. It was a miscalculation by Zelensky hoping to lure Russian troops on the Ukrainian front to be diverted to Kursk and hoping to use Kursk as a bargaining chip to talk peace.

Coups and social unrests engineered by CIA, NED and NGOs are failing everywhere

 This is to be expected, as those are stooges cultivated by the USA to take over the country targeted for regime change when they are successful. Ukraine is a perfect example and Pakistan and Bangladesh are indications of their encroachment success using the same tactic. The CIA and USA funded NGOs will work the ground, instigating chaos, underwriting the cost of protest. Everything is worth it when they succeed. That was what happened in Hong Kong.

But then, they failed in Russia with Alexei Navalny's death, wiping out all the years of cultivation and cost of working the ground. Russians in general failed to support Navalny and he was looked upon as a traitor.

And they also failed in Myanmar, with Aung San Suu Kyi's cultivation about to bear fruit and take over the country, using her father's legacy to garner all the support. That was also an expensive foray for the USA. But they are not content and still wants to bring chaos to Myanmar today by funding the rebels.

Another big failure was in Venezuela, even using mercenaries trained by the CIA to take down the Government of legally elected Nicolas Maduro. The USA is still at it, as the oil reserves of Venezuela is such a tantalizing target for seizure.

There were other failures, notably in Kazakhstan, which with Russian help was able to put down the attempt at regime change.

The USA cultivated Muslim radicalized elements in Xinjiang were used to create chaos at the same time as events in Hong Kong were unfolding, trying to destabilize China. These radicalized elements were later arrested and sent to re-education camps, which the West spun into concentration camps to demonize China. The cat is now out of the bag as foreign vloggers are helping to counter the lies and present a true picture of the state of affairs in Xinjiang. But backfiring is never a shame for the West by being exposed naked. They have no moral sense to feel any shame.

De dollarisation - 159 countries confirmed to adopt BRICS financial system

 There are 195 in the world today. Given that 159 countries are joining BRICS new financial system, it means only 36 countries are not in, about all the American and European countries. There are 28 countries in EU and 3 Anglo Saxon countries in US, Australia and New Zealand, and Israel, and a few die hard American colonies like Japan and South Korea and a handful of crony states that would be left out.

With the new BRICS system, the world would be clearly divided between the American SWIFT system and the new system. Many countries may still be using both systems but if the American terrorists would to sanction those joining the BRICS system, then likely many would leave the SWIFT system altogether.

Did the rogue American propaganda jeered at China and Russia for having very few friends? For 159 countries willing to make the move to join the BRICS financial system, the writing is on the wall. These countries have had enough of the bullying and threats of the American terrorists and want a new and fairer system, to be free from the aggressive and atrocious Americans. 

The American hegemony and ability to oppress and threaten the world are over! It would be good if Trump is re elected and impose sanctions on the 159 countries. Then the Americans would be left to play with the balance 36 countries in the world. By sanctioning others, the Americans would be isolating themselves from the rest of the world. Now that would be nice.

The BRICS meeting in Kazan would welcome a new world order without the Americans and their colonies and cronies. This is truly a world shattering event of the century. The final nail on the coffin of the American Empire. 

Adios Americano!

PS.  Russian state-funded news outlet RT retracted a report that incorrectly said 159 countries had adopted a "new BRICS payment system" but not before the false claim spread across social media. RT misquoted a Russian official who said that 159 "participants" – not 159 countries -- had adopted Moscow's SPFS system for bank transfers, which sanctions-hit Russia uses as an alternative to the global SWIFT system.

Anyway, this is only a matter of time.
