China has risen...peacefully. Who is still waiting for China to rise?

 

7 min by Prof Zhang Weiwei on China's peaceful rise

 China's rise cannot be peaceful. This is the narrative the Americans are trying to tell the world, that China is an aggressive power just like the Americans, that when it rises, it would be as destructive and warmongering as the American terrorists. Is that so?

China has risen. China is now as powerful and technologically advanced as the Americans. Now who is saying that China has not risen? And China's rise is not peaceful? Has China got into wars with anyone during its rise? Has China fired a bullet in the last 40 years of its rise?

No, no, China has not risen enough. Wait for China to rise and become more powerful, then you will see the evilness of  China, just like the Americans. Of course the last part the Americans would not say so. But this kind of argument is like saying the end of the world is coming. If not tomorrow, maybe another century, another millenium, China would definitely be as hostile and aggressive as warmongering Americans. Is this a legitimate or reasonable argument, basing on an obsession presumption that China must be aggressive and its rise must not be peaceful? So childish. Anyone peddling this kind of thought is but a twit.

How much more must China rise if it has not risen today? How many donkey years to wait for China to become aggressive? If China's rise is not peaceful, it is not China's own doing. It is the Americans and the West that would not allow China to rise, and to rise peacefully. It is NOT China's fault if its rise is not peaceful because the Americans and the West are bent on preventing China to rise and now engaging in all kinds of wars and threats, sanctions and provocations to stop China from rising.

China just wants to be richer, more prosperous, to build a better life for its people, by being more competitive, more innovative, more hard working, to produce more and better and cheaper products for the world, to benefit the rest of the world. Is that bad, evil, hostile, unfriendly, starting a war?

The Americans and the West have been smearing and demonising China, that its rise must not be peaceful, like it would wage wars against the world, to be a world hegemon like the Americans, to bully and oppress the world. Those are the ways of the Americans and the West, the colonialist and imperialist mentality, to conquer and rule the world. China has never been a colonial or imperialist country, never colonise or rule big swathe of countries as colonies.

Why can't China's rise be peaceful, when it has proven to be peaceful so far? The Americans and the West have been selling this poison to the world, and bananas all have this stuck in their thick heads, that China's rise must not be peaceful, because the Americans and the West planted it there.

Still waiting for China to rise? China is a super power flows freely out of the lips of westerners. China is more advanced than the Americans in many fields today. Even in military weapons, American weapon superiority is all hype. They said and they claimed to be the best, all hogwash. When put into action, they are found wanting. The American allegation that China's rise must not be peaceful is based on the presumption that China must browbeat everyone, invade and conquer or start wars with everyone like the white savages. China has risen, has done it, without doing any of these. No?

PS. There are nitwits that are waiting for the Americans to provoke a war with China and then turn around and scream, see, see, China's rise is not peaceful.

Embassy of Russia - What to expect from a Jew?

 Embassy of Russia in Singapore on ST column by Ang Moh

On October 12, 2024, we read in the Straits Times another opus entitled "Putin likely to boost efforts to confuse European public as Ukraine war rages” by its international affairs correspondent Jonathan Eyal.

The feeling is mixed – bewilderment, misunderstanding, and indignation.

It seems that not being able to understand the true causes of Europe’s problems and its political and economic difficulties, rooted in the complete loss of sovereignty and its growing dependence on the US, the author, driven by a vicious logic, seeks to find the source of his fears in others.
The stereotypical anti-Russian logic, which has been implanted into the mass consciousness of Europeans at the instigation of Washington since the start of the hybrid war against Russia in Ukraine, suggests to Mr Eyal, as we understand, a convenient solution.

Indeed, how simple is that… All problems with ensuring the security of weapons arsenals, man-made disasters, fires, explosions at military-industrial complex enterprises, fraud using ICT, failures in the operation of transport networks, disruption of GPS signals, etc., are attributed to the machinations of Moscow and the Russian special services. Of course, without any evidence, but only to please their own philistine ideas.

Wake up, Mr Eyal! Stop being afraid of yourself, delve into your anxieties, get rid of the American-dependency complex, and try to look at things from an unbiased perspective...

Then, we are sure, you will see the things differently. It will become clear, that it was Russia that sought to create a system of equal and indivisible security in Europe, and it was Moscow that called for a reliable legal basis for it. It was we who warned about the challenges created by eastward NATO expansion, its expansion into the Asia-Pacific region; it was we who demanded an end to the genocide of everything Russian in Ukraine, which Western strategists have chosen as a battleground for unleashing a hybrid war against Russia. It is we who remain open to dialogue on a peaceful resolution of the conflict, but on the basis of equality and in line with our interests and changed realities.

We are convinced that once you get to the heart of the matter, you will feel better and calmer.
And stop denigrating and involving in your dishonest reasoning the name of the recognized leader of the Russian people, President Vladimir V. Putin. His authority is well deserved, recognized throughout the world and stands above any slander.

Macron is an idiot...asking Iran not to escalate instead of asking the Israelis and the Americans

 Macron is asking Iran to help to de-escalate the conflict in the Middle East, claiming that Iran had the mandate to do its part to those now leveraging on its help.

Is he really serious or pretend to be trying to play the angel to bring peace to the Middle East? His first priority in that direction should be to ask the USA to stop supplying more weapons to Israel to commit genocides, war crimes and assassinations all over the Middle East. After all, Israel is the recipient of all the USA aid and the USA should have the mandate and leverage to rein in Israel. Why is he not doing that and barking up the wrong tree?

Israel targeting and striking the UN peacekeeper's operation quarters is a war crime clear and simple. Netanyahu thinks he is God almighty and can do what he likes, without consequences. And yet the UN seems unable to mount any sensible counter to the Israeli act. Which sensible country is now willing to provide peacekeeping personnel for the UN if such terrorist act goes unpunished?

PS. This kind of white men's mindset, that they created all the troubles, started all the wars, but expecting the victims to stop fighting back, not to escalate. Iran's is the problem, China is the problem, when the real problem and provocatuers and aggressors are the Americans and Israelis. Why not tell the American terrorists and Israeli murderers to stop?

China gets ahead with long term planning by the CPC

 How China succeeded was thinking years ahead, supported by hardworking Chinese people, a cohesive national resolve to rise after the century of humiliation and shame, and putting everything into wanting a peaceful rise instead of resorting to wars and instigating conflicts to seize resources from others.

There was no jealousy seeing Japan, South Korea, Singapore and others rising and making good. China wanted its place within the circle of the Asian Tigers and succeeded. China took up all the challenges through grit and hard work, building up its manufacturing, securing all the raw materials, suffered all the demonization of its polluting industries, which it has since tried to get rid of with its building of clean energy sources like hydropower, solar and wind. These were soon to be demonized as well, and we now can see the demonization of EVs with all the tariffs.

Whatever China now creates, the USA and EU wants to destroy. China is introducing clean energy products like EVs, solar panels and wind turbines and the USA and EU wants to put a stop to that. All have been demonized one way or another. Wind turbines are killing birds, so said Trump. EVs are now catching fires all over the world and the world is burning, so reported an anti-China charlatan on social media.

In the final analysis, who is really trying to save the earth and who is trying to sabotage that mission?

BRICS and 160 countries creating a new world order

 If Zelenskyy gets the Nobel Peace Prize, that must be the 'Mother of all Misfortune' befalling the world. The Nobel Prizes have been hijacked for political gains over the years. It is becoming a joke and Afred Nobel must be turning in his grave.

Can the world not see that all these bodies, the UN, ICC, ICJ, IMF, World Bank, SWIFT, NGOs of all shapes and sizes, were all basically created to help the USA maintain and sustain its hegemony. On top of that are all the toadies, all having hands on the US hegemony pump, sacrificing themselves when needed.

The good news is that BRICS is clearly aware of the implications of being held hostage by the antics of those bodies and are moving into creating their own Commodity Exchanges for energy, metals, agricultural products and even a new global currency and settlement system. These entities of BRICS are conducting business outside the US$ and outside the control of the West.

Do not cast aspersion at those entities, as many countries inside BRICS are big players in the energy business, agriculture, mining and are rich in resources especially minerals.

Russia, Saudi Arabia, UAE are big players in energy and with Iran and Venezuela potential BRICS members, you can just see the impact. Russia and Brazil among others are also big players in grain, food production and an expanding livestock sector all getting ready in the light of the China market moving away from the USA and EU. Africa is rich in mineral resources and there are big players in the scheme of things in BRICS. What does all this mean?

The USA and EU wants a trade war, they will get it in the face.
