Myanmar going to be another hot war

 The terrorists are starting to recruit Rohingyas to train and arm them to fight in Myanmar. This would turn Myanmar into a fireball of unending wars. Who are these terrorists, no prizes for the right answer. And where would the American terrorists set up camp to train the Rohingyas? No prizes again for the right answer. India would not want to know or pretend not to know.

Myanmar now has no reason to restrain in their suppression of the Rohingyas and extreme measures would be taken against them, to drive them out of Myanmar for good. Myanmar would not tolerate an armed insurgent force of Rohingya separatists. The American terrorists know this for sure, and know that by arming the Rohingyas, Myanmar will not hesitate to wipe them out. There will be more bloodshed, more deaths among the Rohingyas and more Rohingya refugees. The American terrorists did not care, in fact would like more Rohingyas to be killed.

And the American doggies in ASEAN would have a field day demonising Myanmar for their military actions against the Rohingyas, and demanding ASEAN to take action, even military intervention in Myanmar.

And the American terrorists would provide all the support and weapons like in Ukraine and Gaza and sit back to watch the fighting and killings, and would drum up support in the UN for another Coalition of the Unwilling to invade Myanmar. And for sure, the American doggies in ASEAN would be the first to volunteer.

Welcome to Southeast Asia/South Asia as the new war zone, with compliments from the American terrorists. The fault, according to American narrative, would be Myanmar of course. It is all Myanmar's fault.

Hsien Loong in Suzhou, China...a positive spin from CNA

 

SUZHOU: Singapore remains confident in China’s future, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Monday (Nov 25), cautioning it would be both "short-sighted" and "unwise” to dismiss the world's second-largest economy even as Beijing grapples with challenges at home and abroad.

To that end, Singapore believes a growing and prospering China can and should play a major constructive role internationally, remarked the veteran statesman, who is on a six-day official visit to the country.

“(China can contribute) to the prosperity and well-being of other countries, and a stable international order where all countries big and small co-exist peacefully together,” said Mr Lee, who was delivering the keynote address at a roundtable in Suzhou to mark the 30th anniversary of the China-Singapore Suzhou Industrial Park (SIP).

“We therefore wish China well in its efforts to transform its economy, integrate into the global economy, and enhance win-win relations with regional partners and other major powers.”  CNA

 

It is rare to read a positive article about China and its successes in CNA without the but, but, but....

Hsien Loong is as good as all praises on the progress and success of China for the last four decades and for the future. No buts. China can contribute to the well being of other countries and a stable international order peacefully. Nothing on the American's mischievous NOT peaceful rise of China on the lips of many American doggies.

I tried very hard, squinting my eyes to look for the buts, but was pleasantly surprised that there was indeed no buts. Could there be a change in editorial policy to remove the buts on China's progress and development?

What do you think? Hsien Loong also quoted Xi's win win policy. Anyone wants to butt in and say but, but, but....?

Actually there was a but, but this but was not the usual 'something positive but could be negative' narrative from anti China paid writers.

“Economic development is still of high importance (to China), but is no longer the pre-eminent national priority. Policy trade-offs are unavoidable, and will imply less exuberant economic growth for China,” said Mr Lee.

Hsien Loong's speech ended with quoting Xi's 100 year change moment and not to underestimate China and the Chinese people's determination to succeed. Latest, he has met Xi and both were courteous and warm in their speeches on the relations between the two states. Could this visit mark a significant change in Singapore's relations with China and the USA, or nothing changes?

In today's CNA headlines, 'It is all the more important in a troubled international environment for like-minded countries, big and small, to work together, said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong in a meeting with President Xi Jinping on Tuesday (Nov 26).

This is perhaps the first time that China is included as a 'like minded countries'. This is quite a significant change coming from Hsien Loong.

India as a super power with great potential is only good in duping the lazy and the unthinking

 To be a superpower, you must first need financial muscle, which India still needs to build up. So many areas of expenditure are needed and without the financial muscle, how to make the dream come to fruition? India's 3 trillion+ GDP is far from what a upcoming superpower needs.

All that hype about India's population dividend does not look at the poverty situation and are just preoccupied with the numbers being added as a sign of upcoming prosperity. Where are the jobs needed to lift them out of poverty? India is still a predominantly agricultural economy, still a far cry from becoming the 'factory of the world' that it also gloated about frequently.

Suffice to say, India still needs to import many raw materials and components needed, without the supply chains in place to support manufacturing on a large scale. And India has not even put in place its control of essential raw materials to support its industrialization dream. Where are the refining logistics that it needed like China to provide a vertical integration of its supply chain? These issues are just hanging in the air and a superpower status just leveraging on thin air and rhetorics.

India's attempt to lure manufacturing to India had also been sabotaged by India's mode of treating foreign investments as potential assets to be seized by changing the law retrospectively. So many foreign entities are now embroiled in tax issues. India thinks that this the same modus operandi as its citizens just wriggling their way up the corporate ladder in the West into entities build up by others. Countries are wising up and companies are deserting India rather than investing in it.

The West is now harping on the number of Indian students studying in the USA and overtaking the Chinese. Let us be honest. These students are not going to benefit India as these students will graduate, stay in the USA and contribute to the USA economy, not India's. India does not have the capability to entice them back like China in the past. Thanks to the anti-China movement started by Trump, Chinese students are now returning to China or just studying in China. Cheaper and safer in fact.

Overseas Chinese little but important contributions to China's fight against foreign aggressions

                                                                                                                                                                         Chinese Civilization is everlasting and unlike other civilizations which had long disappeared it has survived for over 5,000 years. Chinese civilization can last so long because it has never indulged in foreign aggressions and foreign wars. On the contrary China has always been subjected to foreign agrressions and foreign invasions. First for thousands of years China has always been attacked by invading border tribes from Central Asia and Siberia which is north of the Heilongjiang River. China was frequently raided by the savage tribes of the  Hsiung Nus from the north western border  and the Mongols and Khitans. China always pacified these invading tribes with diplomacy  and with huge gifts of food and provisions as well as building the Great Wall of China stretching over 12,000 miles to prevent them from invading China.

But from the 16th century AD, China faced a more menacing and more dangerous type of aggressions from the barbaric European countries and Japan. These new barbarians came with modern firearms and were more determined to attack and invade China. China was caught unprepared and as a result lost millions of square miles of Chinese territories to Russia, England, France, Germany and Japan.

From 1800s to 1948 China faced a mortal danger to survival of  her sovereignty as a nation and civilization. However, during this critical period many unknown Chinese heroes arose and came to help and lead millions of Chinese patriots to resist and fight the foreign invaders. 

From 1931 to 1945 Japan started a very fierce and brutal war of aggression against China. During this critical time China was unfortunate to also face a civil war between the Kuomintang or Nationalist Party of brainless Chiang Kai-Shek and the noble patriotic Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) of Mao Tse-Tung. 

During this period of Japanese invasion many overseas Chinese people and the Chinese Clan Associations donated funds to fight the Japanese. Rich Chinese millionaires and clan associations not only contributed to Chinese defense funds but also helped to provide various Chinese cities with schools and universities to help giving Chinese youths better education. The most notable overseas Chinese patriot and millionaire was Tan Kah Kee who built many schools and universities in Xiamen ( Amoy ), Canton, Shanghai and Nanking.

Indeed and in fact the overseas Chinese diaspora had contributed in some small ways to help China defeat imperial Japan and thus saved the Chinese nation and Chinese civilization.

Would ASEAN want to be American colonies like EU?

 Question is why did ASEAN invite the Devil in Chief into the house in the first place? Whose idea was it really? Or was ASEAN being forced to? You know, the 'You are either with US or against US' is a very forceful threat.

Europe incorporated the devil into the house and failed to get rid of it and been used by it to further its interest. Now Europe is suffering. This is a good example for ASEAN not to follow. But the USA already has a strong footing in ASEAN affairs with the Philippine at its whims and fancies. The USA found its weak link by holding Mickey Mouse hostage, using his father's wealth in its hands as a bargaining chip.

Other countries in ASEAN, with the exception of you know who, are not at all falling in line with the devil. Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia are close to Beijing. Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia have important trade links with Beijing and knows who is buttering their bread. But the USA will continue to try to split the good relations. This is to be expected. Chinese influence in South-East Asia is still strong.

Why would ASEAN, with its relatively peaceful existence, want to engage in geopolitical conflicts like the Europeans to benefit someone else. It will bring them nothing good. China will always be around and will not collapse tomorrow. China has been around for 5,000 years and did China create much trouble for ASEAN? Hardly, other than the disputes in the South-China Sea that had been around for, perhaps centuries, and just hyped up over the last couple of decades.
