BRICS' rise attracting more detractors

 Those detractors of the de-dollarization movement are trying to downplay BRICS as an inconsequential bloc and will be unable to do anything to the US$ hegemony. They claimed that BRICS serves no purpose to further the ambition of Russia or China trying to become the next superpower. Is that the mission of creating BRICS to help Russia or China become the next superpower? I thought Russia and China wants a multi polar world instead.

They are also claiming that China is trying to impose its influence over BRICS using its financial clout that is making India unhappy. Is that the reason and if so, why is Russia such an influential entity instead when it comes to setting rules and regulations over the acceptance of new BRICS members?

As de-dollarization moves forward, more of such demonization will be fabricated in a Propaganda House set up in the West and disseminated to echo chambers like CNN, BBC, WION, Channel News America and Social Media sites like China.... this and that, which should be avoided as they spout misinformation and disinformation like the MSM.

Clicking on Social Media sites like those China...... is like clicking on a scamming site. Strange that such sites seem to be attracting much traffic, true or not, real or fabricated, is debatable. I guess stupidity has no cure is never out of date.

It is public knowledge that the American/West want to destroy Russia, China, Iran and North Korea

 The West have the audacity to claim that these four countries are threatening global security - Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. They have no shame saying that when they are the ones starting wars and the USA being the lonely nuclear terrorist that everyone knows for a fact. Now using propaganda to whitewash their sins and putting the blame on others.

They claim just being dictatorship equates to security threats to the rest of the world and democracy is peace loving when all through the centuries it was the democratic Whites that have been going around fighting wars and stealing lands. Has the world forgotten who was the only country that ever used two atomic bombs on another? There were many occasions that that global terrorist had wanted to use nukes against North Korea, against North Vietnam and against China on numerous occasions. Who is the real threat to the security of the world and leading proxies to threaten others?

Americans still lying about their collapsing economy and lying about China's 5% growth as crumbling

 The Anglo-Saxon doctrine of might is right and how the Whites rose by using war and conquest is not lost on the rest of the world. The USA and the West have done that for centuries in North America, Middle East, Africa and they attempted to do that to China as well for centuries.

They still want to do that today, in Europe against Russia using Ukraine, in the Middle East using Israel against the Arabs and Muslims, and still having their mindset about recolonizing China, which has never faded. But China today is not the China of the days when China was deeply divided and weak. But China will not resort to using wars to counter.

China's peaceful rise is just as eye opening as communism giving democracy a fight for the money and a lesson in how the battle is changing the perception of the whole world. Communism was never believed to be able to lead to the rise of China. It was a stifling ideal, inferior to the democratic superiority myth that existed for decades.

China changed that perception, once and for all with its peaceful rise. And countries are not blind to the changes that communism brought to China. It was nothing stifling, nothing holding back economic progress, with all the infrastructures, the manufacturing, the domination by China in many sectors to show. Who dares to belittle communism, with not even the beacon of democracy, the USA, daring to tout again the superiority of democracy triumphing communism.

That narrative died long ago and now the USA, and the West is using manufacturing overcapacity by China and all the hogwash associated with it and using the world as scapegoats to carry the burden of being threatened by China's overcapacity. That is such a lame argument, when the whole world is benefitting from cheap products made with China's overcapacity. It is the USA's inability to compete that is the only interest that made the USA to fabricate narratives against China's overcapacity. Nothing more and nothing less.

US extorting US$2 billion from Taiwan in the sale of weapons

 TAIPEI: The United States has approved a potential US$2 billion arms sale package to Taiwan, the Pentagon said on Friday (Oct 25), including the delivery for the first time to the island of an advanced air defence missile system battle tested in Ukraine...."This proposed sale serves US national, economic, and security interests by supporting the recipient's continuing efforts to modernise its armed forces and to maintain a credible defensive capability," it said in a statement. CNA

It is so easy to extort money from willing suckers. The sale of some radar and air defence detection system is not going to make Taiwan safer should the rebel govt leaders choose to declare independence from the motherland. When China is raining missiles onto the island, there will never be enough defensive missiles to take them down. Israel, claimed to be impregnatable with several layers of defences, the best the Americans can offer, the best the Israelis could do for themselves, is now a myth, torn and tatters when Iran rained missiles on them. The PLA's military might and assets are beyond the imagination of the Taiwanese pro independent rebels, much more destructive than the Iranians'. It is a total mismatch, a foregone conclusion should China decides enough is enough. 

The billions spent or extorted by the Americans could be put to better use for the benefits of the Taiwanese people. Why keep on allowing the Americans to put their hands into the coffers to the Taiwan govt and the Taiwanese cannot say no? As the above quote said, the proposed sale serves US national, economic and security interests more than the interests of Taiwan. Taiwan is the first line of defence of the American Empire. In the event of a unification by force, the first country to attack and bomb Taiwan would be the Americans. They have said so, that they would destroy Taiwan's industrial complex making advanced chips to prevent them from falling into the hands of China.

Taiwan is America's first target to blow up in the event of war with China. Thank you America. The Taiwanese must be feeling very safe with this. Or they did not know, did not want to know that they are target number one for the American bombers and missiles? Taiwan will be the first front line defence to be destruct by the Americans.

Taiwan is paying the Americans US$2 billion to defend the American Empire. And this is only the beginning. More would be demanded over the years.

Asians thinking like Americans

 China should be more upfront about its strategic intentions when doing so does not compromise its national security. Failing to do so undermines its ability to persuade the world that its desire to be viewed as a benign hegemon is a genuine aspiration, says Dr James Char, a Chinese military expert at NTU’s RSIS....by James Char.  CNA

This is a typical kind of statement coming from a banana that thinks and behaves like an American or westerners and seeing the world, especially China, from an American perspective. In another word, anything that China did is wrong as it did not please the Americans and the West. The statement itself is full of holes but invisible to a banana. China's missile tests are so limited compared to what the Americans and the West did. China has not detonated a nuclear weapon in the South Pacific while the Americans and the West had done so many times, using the Pacific Islanders as their white mice to study the effects of nuclear radiation and harm on the Pacific Islanders. Not cruel, no crimes, no human rights violation?  Many bananas would not know and would not want to know about such cruel acts against the Pacific Islanders. Many died, many suffered a whole life from radioactive wounds and crippled for life.

Why must China be blaring to the world, or have to blare to the world about its strategic interests or intention when the Americans are not doing so? Actually China had told the world of its strategic interests but the Americans and the West would not want to listen or want to know. China have reiterated its position many times but the Americans/West and bananas refused to listen and keep repeating or asking what is China's strategic interest or goals, just like repeating the fake news of ethnic discrimination and genocide in Xinjiang like WMD in Iraq for the unthinking and bananas to talk about. They just keep pretending that China is not transparent and keep on asking. Can bananas think? Oops, bananas is a fruit without a brain.

The real intention of China or any nation state is in what they did and not in what they said or claimed to be. It does not need one to be a professor or expert in geopolitics to understand this. China has made its intent clearly to the world many times, and by its actions and policies, but ignored by the malicious American/West. It is the same as no genocide or ethnic abuses in Xinjiang, but the American terrorists keep insisting so and repeating it to be so and the brainless bananas just gulped it up like the gospel truth. Just keep on repeating to make it sounds real!

Whether China talks about its strategic intention or not, would not and would never compromise its national security. Thinking that it does is naive and childish. Anyone asking about China's strategic intention out of ignorance is excusable.  The Americans is asking out of malice and mischief, refusing to know and using it as a tool to demonise China. And what world is this James Char talking about? The world consists or more than 190 countries, not just the American and European states. One Kiribati, an American protectorate ordered to complain is not reflective of the world. Whether China is a benign hegemon or an international terrorist like the American Empire is all out there for the world to see. By the way, China has said many times that it would not be a hegemon like the Americans. Only the blind cannot see and more pathetic are those that have eyes but cannot see, have ears but cannot hear.

Which country is starting all the wars in the world, inciting and raising tensions and fighting wars, committing war crimes, genocides and crimes against humanity? China or the USA?

No prizes for the correct answer. Even a primary school kid will know the answer, except bananas. China does not have to persuade the world of its intention. The long queue to join BRICS speaks for itself. The Global South is abandoning the screw up American Rules Based Order for a new multi polar world. The world, yes the world of mainly Global South countries, are in full support of China and Russia in creating a new multi polar world. Even countries in the EU are having second thoughts of remaining as colonies and doggies of the evil American Empire. Some have shown interest of wanting to join BRICS.  Turkey has joined. Be precise and specific when using the term 'world'. The white men's world or the rest of the world, the Global South. When the white men talk about the world or international community, they are referring to the AngloSaxon and European world, the white men's community, NOT the rest of the whole world.

Quotes from Putin in RT

Putin names ‘standard’ for international relations
Other nations would be wise to look up to Moscow and Beijing, the Russian president has said....

“We can say with full confidence that they’ve become a standard for how relations between two states should be built in the modern world,” the Russian leader stated. He also maintained that cooperation between Russia and China is one of the “stabilizing factors on the world arena.”

PS. The world view of scholars in Lee Kuan Yew School is more attuned to that of LKY. Not sure Rajaratnam would utter the same view as the scholars in the School using his name. Their views are more like American world view or parroting American views.
