Exceptionalism is a self-inflicted suicide by the USA

 De-dollarization would never have been gaining traction so fast over the last two years without a reason. The action by the USA actually accelerated the process with the seizure of the Russian assets contributing to fast tracking of the inevitable together with the sanctions against Russia that borders on insanity.

The weaponization of the US$ was instrumental in setting off the fuse and that has awakened the world to the danger of one country holding all the cards and having all the privilege to print unlimited toilet papers and dictating all the rules of the game. It is a self-inflicted suicide by the USA, no one else is to blame.

The whole world now wants to get rid of a unipolar world for a multi-polar world instead. And rightly no country should be allowed to print money without consequences, while any other country would not get away with it. A truly global currency must be found that is fair to every country of the world.

Exceptionalism is not going to save the USA this time around. Not even with all the Anglo-Saxon Whites ganging up to support the US$ hegemony. The Europeans will soon find out that they have been sacrificed to no avail.

God is great in pushing Russia to the side of BRICS. A blessing actually for BRICS that Russia is on the side of China and not the USA. Otherwise, that would be disastrous for China alone against the Anglo-Saxon White clique. Who is to blame? Own self blaming own self is just apt.

Mahathir regretting why Proton did not become BYD

 Mahathir made a great move to industrialise Malaysia by setting up Proton car factory. The startup might be modest but it was a good start, a step in the right direction. From assembly, it could grow bigger into manufacturing and design of cars. But he forgot that manufacturing cars is not simply wishful thinking. Just wish for it and it would happen. Car manufacturing needs a pool of real engineers, good engineers. Not half past six engineers.

This is the part that stalled the progress of Proton. It could not advance further into a real car manufacturer. It could not even produce an engine to call its own. The magic stopped there.

When Proton was set up, China did not have a car manufacturing base in China. China was thus behind Malaysia in car manufacturing. China only started to go into car manufacturing at least 20 years after Malaysia. EV manufacturing in China started about 10 years ago. And today, China is the world leader in EV manufacturing. And Proton was sold to Geely, a Chinese EV manufacturer and producing Chinese designed and manufactured EVs. Proton's name is safe or else it would be lying in some corner of the museum.

What went wrong? Manufacturing car is not making teh tarik when anyone can do. Just called him an engineer and put him in charge and eureka, a car is made. China planned its industrialisation carefully by understanding the basic needs. A pool of top engineers! China is well known for producing top STEM engineers in bulk, by mass production. China sent its best students to the best universities in the West to study science and engineering and most of them came up tops in their cohorts. This is the base that China depended on for its industrial and modernisation programme.

How is this compare to what Mahathir did? Mahathir spent a lot of govt fund to send scholars to the West as well for tertiary education. The difference stopped there. The Mahathir scholars were not the best in their cohorts. And many went to study non engineering or science subjects and did not return as top engineers. Also, many went for religious studies to become religious teachers.

Mahathir did not have a pool of top engineers to form his industrialisation base. It was a failed start. The rest is history. Public fund spent with good intention but he took it too lightly, that any tertiary education would do. When hard sciences and engineering are concerned, there is no tolerance for short changed and thinking of getting excellence in the result. It is GIGO through and through.

Because of all the top STEM graduates, China is also leading the world in high speed trains, space exploration, 5G/6G, AI, quantum physics, mobile phones, and soon high performance chips.

US India Relations - Transient and opportunistic with both humouring each other for self interests

 Much has been made about the future success of India. A future that is uncertain to arrive soon, by hyping-up the 'population dividend' to lure investments to India to take advantage of the slave labor. That is why Apple jumped in to take advantage of the 'slave labor' like it did in China, got burned and now jumping out. Apple jumped into the Indian fire and now jumping out of the fire into the Chinese boiling pot. The consequence is yet unknown.

No one talks about 'slave wages' in India, or child labor issues. As long as India can be used to counter China, anything it does is acceptable to the USA and the West. It is only being demonized in China. You can be sure that all this 'slave wages' and child labor issues will be dug up once India is no longer useful to the USA and the West and will be used against India when it gets thrown under the bus.

The Indians better not be so happy with all the accolades thrown in by the West about the country as well as the demonization of China. The USA cares little about what happens to India. The only thing the USA cares about is its own interest, and in India's context is its usefulness to counter China.

India insidiously wants to adopt the USA tactic of seizing successful businesses in India and punishing them heavily with laws enacted just to suit their agenda, the exact modus operandi that the USA is using against Chinese companies in USA like DJI, BYD, CATL and TikTok among others.

The irony is that these measures will only result in backfiring against the USA's own companies and those of the EU, like Volkswagen, Tesla by restricting CATL from producing EV batteries in the USA. If Tesla is to depend on batteries made by USA owned companies, their cost will make Tesla EVs uncompetitive worldwide. Shooting its own feet is becoming a habit of the USA Government.

Nobody cares a hoot about American election

 The USA and the Anglo-Saxon Whites really think too highly of themselves, accusing every Tom, Dick and Harry country that cannot tolerate them of trying to interfere in their elections. Nobody cares a hoot about them really.

Ask the hawkers, taxi drivers, bus drivers, security personnel, students, office workers, factory workers, airport workers, trolley pushers, table cleaners, gardeners, road sweepers, rubbish collectors, pioneers, merdekas and most do not even know who is standing for election in the USA. They do not care half a hoot what happens in the USA. Who wins or loses is none of their concern. They still have to work, go to school or hope to pick up the periodical chicken wings to survive or carry on with their lives.

Only the Western educated bananas may have an interest in the election, but interfering is out of the question. What for? Even their own local election is beyond them to interfere with.
