Trump the mafia boss cannot be prosecuted for obvious reasons

 I do not understand why Trump cannot be prosecuted just because he is going to be the President of the USA in 2025.

What about Richard Nixon, already a sitting President in office and was prosecuted for Watergate which led to his resignation? What difference is there when we say a crime is a crime? Some are obviously above the law, like Trump. Can we still remember why they failed to prosecute Trump over Russia gate over four years, during his first term? Does that also ring a bell over his untouchable position and status? Or are the judges afraid of Trump's revenge against them when he assumes office? Trump already touted that he is going to prosecute many people. If that threat is now working, that is already reaping rewards for him. I do believe in conspiracy theories that unfortunately sounds true.

Richard Nixon was a smart President, the first USA President that visited China in 1972 and led to the evolving good relations between the USA and China thereafter, until Clinton, Obama and others after him destroyed all that.

Trump, by comparison is a open-book bullshitter, fraudster, sex pervert and a convicted felon even before assuming office. He is 100% clearly involved with Jeffrey Epstein's child sex ring. Why is the system not taking into consideration all this and choose to pardon him? What bullshit are they talking about not having the ability to punish a President-elect that is not even in office.

Trump really does not need to pardon himself now when he assumes the Presidency, which is now so laughable. He probably knows they cannot touch him, which is why he thinks he can do as he likes.

Dali city square and night life - A pictorial essay

 

Evening at Dali city square with plenty of shoppers. Click to enlarge pics.
A popular shop selling little Yunnan coffee beans. We sat outside the shop doing coffee tasting and I bought a few packets from the very friendly staff.
Another view of the side street. The streets are clean, people fashionably dressed and at peace with themselves and the world. And it is quite difficult to find a dustbin on the streets. The Chinese people and the cleaners kept the place clean.
The centre row with blue and green lightings were foodstalls. There were plenty of interesting food and snacks everywhere at very affordable prices. In China, there is abundance of food for everyone.
This was like a family pub but with live performers. There were families and children having meals here and enjoying themselves. We spent an hour relaxing here, no hot coffee but got some hot lime juice and a hot stove on the table to keep warm. We sat in the garden outside. 11 C, quite chilly.
More bars and entertainment joints. Not rowdy, with appreciating crowds inside them.

How tariffs going to strangle the average Americans and the farmers?

 D grader Trump's most clever idea to win trade wars is tariff. This is the only weapon he knows to win trade wars easily as he claimed. Now his own republican senators and congressmen are turning against him. Internationally, his allies and trade partners in Europe, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada and Mexico, to name a few, are furious and threaten to retaliate. You hike, we hike.

On the ground, how is the tariff going to affect the average Americans and the farmers in simple terms? America is importing 70% of its consumer goods from China. When Trump raises tariff by say 25%, China would continue to sell the item at $2 or whatever. No change. China does not and has no reason to increase the price of its products. It is American importers that will be paying the 25% tariff, and this will be passed to the average Americans who will have to pay 25% higher price for the same stuff.

The only way the American consumers can avoid paying the 25% is for the importers to find an alternative source of supply for the same item at the same price. Product substitution. If only the importers can find alternative suppliers. If not, they would still have to buy from China at the same price and add on the 25% tariffs. It is as simple as that.

The same formula can be apply the other way to American farmers exporting goods to China. They would still be selling their produces at the same price. But Chinese importers would be paying the tariff hike, say 25%, and pass the hike to the Chinese consumers. So, the Chinese consumers too would have to pay more for their farm products. 

Alternatively, the Chinese importers would look for alternative suppliers for the same products at the same price. If they can find the suppliers, they did not have to pay for the 25% tariff. Fortunately there are plenty of suppliers out there for farm produces and at cheaper prices. So Chinese importers would simply buy from alternative sources, leaving the American farmers with all their stocks and produces with no buyers. Many American farmers are going to go bust.

The clever tariff weapon will hurt the pockets of American consumers by as much as what the tariff is. The retaliatory tariffs imposed by China or other countries affected, will not hurt the Chinese consumers, and other consumers if they can find alternative suppliers. Period.

The Americans should thank genius Trump for having to pay more, and the American farmers should also than him for all their produces unsold and left in the barns or to rot. Life will go on as normal for the Chinese consumers and the consumers around the world.

This is how D grader Trump going to make America great again.

Chinese innovation and technology in food production

 China is quietly building up its food production, particularly fruits and vegetables. And it is not just about changing deserts into fertile land. China is going big in vertical farming and is today among the largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world. This is surprising, isn't it? Now, let not the West again accuse that this is another overcapacity that they are taking their eyes off, and later on suddenly found out the reality.

China has been experimenting with vertical vegetable farming using high-end technology of vegetable growing, achieving faster harvesting and at cheaper cost, many times cheaper than traditional mode of vegetable growing. Such vertical farming saves on water, insecticides and labor and soil pollution.

If this is not enough, China is doing equally well in research in aquaculture, building fish farms leveraging on cost savings and rearing fish less succumbing to diseases.

China places much priority today over food security, expanding domestic production and seeking alternative supplies from many sources. Such an important national security issue could be threatened by enemies cutting off supplies by imposing sanctions, which could jeopardize China's survival if not looked into early.

The blood debt owe by the Japanese to China and the Chinese people must be redeemed sooner or later.

   The blood debt owed by the Japanese to China and the Chinese people must be redeemed sooner or later. The ten years of Japanese war of aggression from 1931 to 1945 caused China to lose over 50 million Chinese patriots killed, slaughtered, massacred and genocided without mercy. Beside more than three million Chinese peasant soldiers mainly from the Chinese Communist Party headed by Comrade Mao Tse-Tung over fifty million innocent Chinese citizens were brutally killed, massacred and genocided. The Japanese wanton acts of aggression, atrocities and slaughter of the Chinese people was no different from that of the Westerners especially England, France,United States and imperial Russia. Might be they had learnt from each other on how to conquer and ill treat China and the Chinese people. Any way blood debt must be paid whether it is from the Japanese or from Western countries as represented mainly by Britain and France.

A million and one examples can be quoted on Japanese atrocities and brutalities against China and the Chinese people. However to describe these Japanese wanton killings, massacre, atrocities and destruction of Chinese lives and properties even a million sheets of fullscape papers will not be enough to fill up the descriptions. So below are just a few examples and if there are pictures of these Japanese senseless killings and massacres they can be gory to the eyes.

It was common for Japanese army to make use of Chinese babies for bayonet practice. They would toss the babies high above and other soldiers would pierce the babies with their bayonets as the babies descended down. Pregnant mothers were forced to march into rivers and would be shot if they turned back. Also Chinese soldiers who were defeated were chained together and forced into rivers to be drowned. Chinese villages would be cordoned off and searched and then the thousands of villagers would be forced to dig gigantic holes in the ground as big as fish ponds. After that Chinese in batches of 500 to a thousand were forced to go inside the ponds. Japanese soldiers surrounding the ponds then began to shoot and massacre the whole lot. After the massacre other Chinese villagers were forced to fill up the pond with earth . These horrible crimes would similarly be repeated all over China for as long as they were occupied by the Japanese.

It was a frequent occurrence for Japanese soldiers to set fire to farm villages and towns at night or  early dawn. When villagers came out of their homes they would be immediately shot. Chinese prisoners would frequently be killed and their dead bodies hung on lamp posts or trees to frighten other Chinese into submission.

Whenever and wherever  towns and villages occupied by Japanese army the Japs would search for Chinese girls and ladies. These Chinese girls and ladies would be abused and multi-raped the whole day and night. The bloody Japanese atrocities and brutalities knew no bounds. After the girls were raped their genitals and their breast teats were cut. Why did they do such horrible things? These type of heinous criminal acts are unpardonable and must be repaid someday.

The Japanese biological crime against the Chinese is well known. The Japanese biolab 731 in the city of Harbin created all kinds virulus germs and chemicals in the Japanese germ and chemical warfare against China. Germs and virus and chemicals were tested on Chinese people alive. Germs, virus and chemicals were injected into living Chinese victims to test the tension and reaction of the victims. The Chinese victims would suffer in tortuous pain and agony and that of a tortured living dead.
