China being harassed by Mickey Mouse again. When would China start to kick asses to stop such harassments?

On 19 Nov, Chinese cargo ship Yi Peng was detained by Denmark in the Baltic Sea. Mickey Mouse Denmark sent 3 warship in the operation and now demanded that the ship be searched by 4 Nato countries. This is an obvious case of harassment, and it is not the first time that Chinese ship were harassed and boarded by foreign warship forces. They have no evidence that the Chinese ship was responsible for the cutting of cables in the Baltic Sea but conveniently and conspired to arrest the Chinese ship. And little Mickey Mouse Denmark was pushed to be the point man, contributing 3 warship to harass the Chinese ship. The Americans had done it in the past, and now little Mickey Mouse Denmark is bold enough to do the same. This is text book American procedure, using little Mickey Mouse to harass and provoke China, like Canada, Lithuania and the Philippines.

This kind of harassment would never stop if China continues to behave like Ah Q and afraid or refrain from kicking asses. The Meng Wanzhou Incident was bad enough, embarrassing enough. Now this incident, and the Mickey Mouse would think it is alright as China is afraid of the Americans. As long as the Americans are behind them, and they can scratch China without being whacked, more and more Mickey Mouse would volunteer to play the part.

I have said many times, China must act and behave as a big power and prepare to use its clout to whack the daylight out of mischievous and provocative Mickey Mouse to show them and the Americans that such provocation must stop.

So, would China dare to act, and act immediately, or as usual, behave like Ah Q and do nothing? Such embarrassing and humiliating encounters are self inflicted by behaving like Ah Q, by being meek. When slapped, turn the other cheek to be slapped as well.

The Americans like to see China behaving as such, as expected, and the Mickey Mouse too would be emboldened and more Mickey Mouse would join the circus.

Stop being Ah Q and take immediate action against the Mickey Mouse. This is the only way to avoid trouble and not to invite more trouble in the future. Look around, why no other countries are being harassed by Mickey Mouse, except China, the second biggest super power today? The world is getting lawless with the American terrorists attacking everyone, especially China, to stir trouble. China cannot run away from trouble and must face it. And it is NOW or be seen as a meek paper tiger, to be kicked around like Ah Q.

The Pinoys are still very aggressive and unrepentent, never learn anything from Ukraine, and attacking Chinese interests inside the Philippines, arresting Chinese nationals, stationing American Typhoon missiles capable of launching nuclear warheads into China. Mickey Marcos is planning to assassinate and wipe out the Dutertes. When the Dutertes are gone, China would have no more friends in the Philippines. All this is happening because they are NOT afraid of a meek China that claimed that it would not interfere in other countries' internal affairs. This is like Iran saying that their belief would not allow them to build nuclear weapon to defend themselves. This is as good as asking to be nuked.

Non involvement is like the monks standing by watching someone being murdered or raped and do nothing, not his problem, he is a holy man. If China is not going to get involved, Myanmar would be swallowed up by the American terrorists and would become a long term threat on China's border. China's pipeline in Myanmar would be taken over by the American terrorists.

PS. China must cane the Mickey Mouse if it wants to stop the Mickey Mouse from attacking China.

Americans paranoid about ASEAN leaning to China

 ASEAN's reported choice of China as the power to lean to in the region is making the USA paranoid. The USA had been the choice of ASEAN as the force to lean to in the past, and this change of direction is going to make the USA more determined to undermine ASEAN.

The Philippines is the USA's launching pad for ASEAN disintegration, while sparing no effort to destabilize Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos for being closer to Beijing than the rest of ASEAN. Thailand and Vietnam are not as close to China, but mainly in trade, which is important for their economy. They are not a priority for a regime change as yet.

Indonesia had all along been pursuing a non-aligned policy with regard to relations with the USA and China, which the USA is trying hard to influence the new Government. How that new Government under Prabowo is going to respond will determine what the USA will do to determine his direction.

Malaysia has taken its stand, with its stance on Gaza a clear indication of its direction towards the West. You can be sure that the USA and the West will not take this lying down and instigation on the ground by the CIA and USA supported NGOs will be working harder to make life uneasy for Anwar.

As I said before, the USA does not like strong leaders making regime changes difficult like in Myanmar, Thailand and now Malaysia. But they will keep chipping away, even for decades like in Russia and Hong Kong. After all, money is not problem for the USA. Just print will solve all the funding issues. How great to be given the privilege of doing that!

Idiot Macron did not know why China raised tariffs against cognac and brandy?

 Macron is pretending not to know why China is now erecting tariffs against EU brandy, which is affecting France big time. He is reported to be going to find out the reason from China. Can you honestly believe that?

The EU had the tenacity and audacity to slap tariffs on Chinese EVs, dictated and following in the footstep of the USA, and Macron did not know that? Macron must be blind and deaf, but certainly not dumb and know how to use his twisted tongue. Erh, I forgot that White men speak with forked tongues, sorry.

China is going to retaliate and retaliate painfully on the EU over the EV tariffs. Russia is now cutting more gas supply to the EU with the coming winter. Trump is not even sparing allies in his tariff threat to kill their industries and force them to invest in the USA.

The whole Global North can move all their manufacturing to the USA and kill each other just trying to compete among themselves selling to the USA market. They can't compete outside of the USA and neither will China open up its market to them, which in any case is impossible for them to compete in. So, what is left? Mostly White Elephants in the USA trampling upon each other.

Those manufacturers that are smarter will move to China and avoid the USA, which many are doing, to take advantage of the cheaper energy, skilled workers and Chinese market to give them at least a sliver of a chance to compete globally. Those that succumbed to the threat, like TSMC and Samsung may have little choice but just jumping blindly into the fire, to be baptized. They are now finding out the hard way.

China is indeed blessed with its manufacturing domination with cheap energy, skilled workers and a large domestic market as well. The West cannot easily kill China with tariffs and sanctions. The Global South is China's extended hinterland to foray into and conquer.

Trump, with six bankruptcies to his name, a convicted felon, a tax evader with a mental capacity of a juvenile, is the best man to be POTUS

 Trump is choosing all his cronies, some from Fox News and others having little expertise and experience to helm departments like defense, healthcare, and foreign relations. In fact, some like Robert Kennedy Jr were anti-vax proponents during Biden's term and is now in charge of healthcare, probably because he is seen as in Trump's camp regarding COVID issues. Trump is going to run the USA like running 'The Apprentice' show where he is judge, jury and executioner. There is a fear now within the circle of watchers that he is going to disrupt the grilling of the candidate's suitability for those departments and will be using judges of his own appointments to shaft his choice down the throats of USA citizens.

Of course, as in the Biden administration, the whole social media is now nitpicking on the Trump missteps and upping their demonization. Most USA MSM are under Democrat control too. Then social media were picking on Biden's age, health, cognitive ability, gaffes and warts and all. Now Trump is getting the same treatment.

But we know well enough that Trump knows no shame and is even feeling proud of it. How could a men feel shame, with six bankruptcies to his name, a convicted felon, a tax evader with a mental capacity of a juvenile. As someone commented, Trump would be the first convicted felon becoming President, which runs contrary to the Constitution. So used to getting away with silly rhetorics during COVID, he seems to think he is another God Almighty just like Netanyahu.

There will be plenty of fun to watch before his January inauguration. Get your champagnes ready. As Nancy Pelosi used to say - It will be a wonderful sight to behold.
