Americans conducting regime change in Asean countries

 It has been reported that the USA is conducting a regime change in Cambodia. Laos will be on their radar with Myanmar a works in progress. These are countries having good and close relations with Beijing.

What the USA failed to accomplish in Hong Kong, they are now looking at ASEAN countries to destabilize to further its interest. Thailand too has its fair share of instigations, using the CIA and USA supported NGOs to create instability. The Thai Military and the Thai Monarchy had been able, so far, to deter unrest. What will happen with the new Government is still not known and to whose interest it is migrating towards is not clear.

The USA is targeting a couple of countries in ASEAN, particularly Indonesia. When persuasion fails as in Vietnam, covet action takes over.

By the way, the Philippines is reported to be willing to throw Duterte under the bus, to cater to the demands of the USA. The Government is said to be willing to allow Duterte to be extradited to be punished for his actions against the drug lords in the Philippines while he was in power. That shows how much control the USA had over Mickey Marcos. Supporters of Duterte must do another people's power to make things right. Getting rid of drugs in the Philippines ought to be a good thing rather than being seen as a crime against humanity. It just boggles the mind!

Now that ASEAN had expressed its desirability to have China in the region more than the USA, the splitting up of ASEAN is a priority for the USA and ASEAN leaders must be able to see what is coming. ASEAN will be ruined like Europe if the USA succeeds in breaking up the grouping and turning ASEAN against China. China is still an important trade partner for all ASEAN countries. It is up to ASEAN leaders to measure carefully what is in it for them with the USA dictating the direction.

Trump - How do you like my garbage truck?

 

Trump announced his cabinet and it was obvious that the whole team was nothing but garbage. And Trump is asking proudly, how do you like my garbage truck, with all the garbage in it.

Adani, Indian billionaire to be arrested and prosecuted in American courts

 Billionaire Gautam Adani is accused of agreeing to pay more than US$250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to obtain solar energy supply contracts worth US$2 billion.

 NEW YORK: Gautam Adani, the billionaire chair of Indian conglomerate Adani Group and one of the world's richest people, has been indicted in New York over his role in an alleged multibillion-dollar bribery and fraud scheme, US prosecutors said on Wednesday (Nov 20).  CNA

An Indian man, or is he an American citizen, bribing Indian government officials for a contract to supply solar energy in India, is being prosecuted in American courts. What has an Indian man and bribery and contracts in India got to do with the American laws and can be prosecuted in America?

Oh, the Americans have a Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and Adani is alleged to have violated this Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a US anti-bribery law. Is this an inThe case involves alleged violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a US anti-bribery law.  Is this an international law that can be applied to anyone, any citizen of another country and crimes committed outside the American jurisdiction?

Oops, I forget, the American Empire owns the whole world and the whole world is subject to American's Rules Based Order! The Americans can arrest and prosecute anyone, any citizen of any country under their Foreign Law. 

Adani is an Indian citizen, so what? What can he do about it? What can India or Modi do about it? Or is this another sign of American displeasure of Modi and picking faults with India? We just have the release of Indian terrorist activities against a Canadian by the Americans. So this is nothing new. America is not happy with Modi. Modi better stay away from Putin and BRICS or else....more trouble and coercion from the USA.

End of the road for TSMC?

 With the new facilities in Arizona up and running, the Americans have no more use for the TSMC facilities in Taiwan. It is time to close them down. The latest order to stop selling 7nm chips to China is about as good as killing TSMC Taiwan for good. The Americans can now happily rely on the TSMC, America in Arizona to produce for the American market.

So what else can TSMC Taiwan do? With TSMC America producing for the American market, TSMC Taiwan's main customer is China. Without China as its main customer, the rest of its customers added together would not be able to replace China, would not be enough to cover the cost of the facilities. It would run into the red very soon, too big a plant, overcapacity but no big customers to sell to.

Maybe TSMC Taiwan should consider divorcing from TSMC America and selling it to SMIC for good. In this way Morris Chang could still recover some costs and at the same time keep the workers, technicians and engineers continue to be employed. Not doing anything means closing down or downsizing and retrenchment.

Caveat, the American owners would have to agree to sell it to China. There will be no other takers if it is not allowed to sell to China. The Americans have completed its decoupling from Taiwan and there is no need for TSMC Taiwan anymore.

China came for trade, the white savages came to raid

 When Admiral Zeng He was sailing all over South-East Asia to as far as East Africa between 1405 and 1433, he could have behaved like the Anglo-Saxon White barbarians and pirates and seized those lands wherever he visited. But it was not to be, and his visits were always peaceful and all for trade. By the way, Zeng He was a Muslim, and we need not have to talk about how come a Muslim could be elevated to such a position as Admiral even in olden China. Such Chinese respect for Muslims surely cannot be compared to the fake love of Muslims advocated by the Whites.

Mahathir Mohammed, racist he may be, said that when Zeng He visited Malacca, all he wanted and conducted was trade, nothing more. However, when the Portuguese visited Malacca, they had bulging green eyes, and after they left, they returned with an armada, intending to take Malacca, which they did. And this was exactly what the Brits, French, Spanish, Dutch, Belgium and other Anglo-Saxons did in North America, India, the Pacific Islands, Philippines and most of South-East Asia. No country was spared. Even China went through the same treatment during the century of humiliation by the Eight Nations including Japan. Remember that Japan still owes a heavy blood debt to China that has yet to be settled.

There are three important Chinese patriots that Chinese all over the world must be thankful for that Chinese or their kins did not end up like the Native American Indians now living in concentrations camps. Thanks to Mao Tse Tung for throwing the foreigners out of China, Deng Xiaoping for modernizing China and Xi Jinping for lifting more than 800 million Chinese on the mainland out of poverty and elevating Chinese from just being cooks and laundrymen to become the owners of the 'factory of the world' and now well respected globally, especially by Africans and the Global South. Which other country or politician in any democracy has done that on such a scale?
