The evil American Empire's decline and China's emergence as a world leader

 For several decades following the end of WW2, America was the undisputed leader of the world by sheer economic, military and political might. No country came near to challenging this position. The Soviet Union put up a fight leading the Warsaw Pact countries but failed to dethrone the Americans as the top dog. With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Americans were confident enough to declare that they were the sole Empire on earth with no equals. They could do anything they want to any country, to any leaders and no country or leader would dare to challenge them. Then arrogance got into their heads with the neocons in Washington starting to behave like international gangsters, starting wars everywhere, invading countries, removing leaders of independent states, arresting, jailing and killing them, punishing countries with sanctions and threats, intimidating countries and their leaders with fear.

The whole world took this rogue Empire's bullying quietly without resistance. Also, quietly, China was stirring in a corner, rebuilding its economy, its infrastructure, raising the quality of life of its people, learning and embracing all the advanced technology and knowhows of the world, and also rebuilding its arms industry and modernising its armed forces. Fast forward to the 21st Century, the Americans were shocked that there is now an economic and military giant on the sideline that is no longer a pushover. But China continues to be what it was, bent its head and kept ploughing and prodding along, showing a disinterest to world affairs. China kept itself out of trouble, did not speak out, did not participate in the conflict and power struggle in the world. But its presence was felt, and the Americans were uneasy. 

The Americans started to accuse the Chinese as a non participant in world affairs, especially when the Americans played rogue and rough, invading or attacking countries, and demanding China to endorse their aggression and crimes, even their massacres in weak and small countries. China did not respond and kept silent. But the world was evolving, the rest of the world that fell victims to the aggressive Americans, the bullying and oppression, kept turning to China, hoping that China would stand up for them. To their dismay, China continued to be an outsider. The Americans even accused China as irresponsible and demanded that China be involved in world affairs, meaning to side with the Americans. The Americans saw the rise of China as a big power and even courted China with a proposal of a G2 formula to rule the world, with the USA as the undisputed big brother of the G2. Again, China refused to accept the offer to the indignant of the Americans.

China was only interested in economic growth and development for its people and also for the rest of the world. China came up with several initiatives to work with the rest of the world for economic growth and common prosperity under a win win formula. This was followed the birth of BRI, BRICS, SCO, New Development Bank, RCEP, infrastructure and port building all over the world. Many countries of the Global South jumped onto the China economic growth engine and got richer in the process.

The American Empire felt left out of the game, not that they were not invited, but they chose not to participate in anything started by China. They adopted the role of a spoiler, accusing and alleging and fabricating all the lies about China's initiatives, inventing negative words like debt trap, Chinese aggression and expansion, China wanting to conquer and rule the world. 

In the midst of all these developments, the world polarised into a fictitious free world ruled and tightly controlled by the American Empire, and a truly free world called the Global South. The Americans suddenly realised that they were only the leader of a fictitious free world that is not free in every sense of the word. America is no longer the leader of the world.

China on the other hand did not claim to be the leader of the Global South. China supports the idea of a multipolar world where decisions are made by countries of the world, not by a single country like the USA in a unipolar world. In all the organisations initiated or started by China, China deferred to the other aspiring and ambitious states that wanted to lead. Many of the top positions of these organisations were held by individuals of other countries other than China. China deliberately took a step back, always walking behind other leaders. This was not just Chinese humility. In a multipolar world, every state is equal, and China does not want to be seen as the leader and ended up like the Americans, acting and behaving like a gangster.

There are only two countries in the world today that have been claiming to be leaders of the world and wanting to be seen as leaders of the world. The Americans have been in this position for a long time and would not want to let go. They keep accusing and lying to the world that China wants to be the world leader. China is a threat to their dominance. No Chinese leader since the time of Mao had ever make this claim that China is the leader of the world or leader of the Third World or the Global South. It was the Americans, the evil and arrogant leader of the fictitious free world that accused China of harbouring this ambition. Xi Jinping also did not say so. China just wants a multi polar world and be equal among equals and jointly work and collaborate to work for a better world for every country.

BRICS is a good example of China's intent. China is the top economic power in BRICS and could act like the arrogant Americans to dictate to others. But no, it was the smaller and lesser states that called the shot, even opposing China, overruling China and holding China as hostage. An ambitious leader or state that wants to be the leader would not allow this to happen. But China took it in its stride, as a team player, not a leader. Xi speaks softly to the point that some Mickey Mouse thinks China is a sick cat.

The other country that has been gloating and crying that it is a world leader, albeit the leader of the Global South, is India. But the Americans ignore this foolish claim knowing very well that India is all noise and nothing else. China is the real leader without talking about it, without wanting it. So, the Americans keep on bashing China every day for wanting to lead the world. To Xi and China, who cares? China acts and behaves in every way as an equal player in a multi polar world.

This did not stop the Americans from badmouthing China wanting to be a world leader, even using its propaganda machine and funds to pay silly writers and Mickey Mouse to attack China on this issue. China wants to be a world leader but not recognised and not accepted by other states, not accepted by ASEAN. ASEAN is a leader in its own right. This is what they were told to write to demonise China.

In reality, a leader is a leader without having claim for it. Despite all the animosities and sanctions against China, Trump personally made a call to invite Xi to his inauguration. That is the stature of a world leader, an unspoken position attained by being one because of respect, economic, military and political power. The Mickey Mouse and silly writers can keep harping about China wanting to be a world leader, that China is not accepted as a world leader, are like passing wind. It only revealed how silly they are, how empty are their heads and thinking, and who is paying them to write silly stuff.

And for those claiming to be world leaders, thumping their chests, blaring through a loud hailer that they are leaders, they are only what they are and would be recognised as what they are. No amount of blaring and self proclamation would turn a Mickey Mouse into a world leader when it is not.

I repeat again, China does not ask to be a world leader, does not demand to be a world leader. China just wants to be a team player in a multi polar world. Stop the lies and silly allegation that China wants to be a world leader. It is the world that would decide if China were a world leader or otherwise, by their actions and by China's role and contribution to the world.

Americans can learn from Singapore about false sense of security

 I guess they have to move the aircraft carrier further away now.

Let them be lulled into a false sense of security in the South China Sea and keep gloating about the superiority of their systems and weapons. China is well prepared to face the USA, not what it was a century ago. The USA time window to take down China has long gone, and they can keep on posturing and strutting its feathers.

Just how prepared is the USA in the South China Sea? Just look at the way they tackled the Los Angeles wildfire, with water shortages, poor water management, poor infrastructure cover, lack of manpower and no co-ordination. Help only came together after days of burning. Does USA have a water shortage problem? Sure, they do, looking at the situation unfolding. Water shortage is also going to be prevalent in Arizona, where all the semiconductor investors are putting their factories of all places. A fire over there would be equally devastating. But are they prepared for that situation I just wonder.

I was aghast to learn that they even have to force prisoners or incarcerated people to become firefighters, paying them 'slave wages' of US$10.24 per day with overtime of US$1.00 per hour additional. Are they sure that being paid USS10.24 per day, those prisoners will risk their lives to help put out fires for the super-rich? More likely those prisoners will become looters than fire fighters. These prisoners are perhaps the 'cream of the crop' in lying, cheating and stealing. What a sick joke from a sick country. But I guess they are proud of its anyway.

The real reasons for banning TikTok

 The main reason is not about which country Tik Tok is from or about Tik Tok being a National Security Issue for the USA. Trying to tie Tik Tok and Singapore to the CCP is showing the world just how stupid USA Senators really are. It failed to hold water.

Those are just peripheral reasons cooked up to muddy the waters and forcing the sale of Tik Tok to a USA entity. The intended buyer now being Elon Musk, who is someone thought to be closer to China and has been floated to test the reaction, knowing that Musk has huge investments in China and will be more palatable for the Chinese mainlanders, now that Tik Tok has already been fabricated to be close to the CCP.

The whole episode in reality is all about Tik Tok providing a platform for users to post the truth about the genocide in Gaza, which the Israelis are unhappy about. As we know, Israel has a major influence inside the USA Congress and USA also has a vested interest in snatching Tik Tok for its own propaganda use. Having such a big user base is fertile ground for them to brainwash users, most of which are younger USA citizens. Another reason being that the USA Governments usage of MSM as its propaganda proxy is getting less and less successful and losing its advantage, despite the huge US$300 million investment that the USA Government is putting in. Moreover, the MSM is losing subscribers, just like our States Times.

Why are Tik Tok users not moving more into Meta or Twitter, instead of a totally China oriented site like Rednote? Why are they not waiting for the official decision to ban the app or be sold to a USA entity. The reason being that they know there is no such thing as freedom of expression if they migrate to the other USA platforms or Tik Tok falling into the hands of a USA entity. This is one shock that the USA Government is now facing.

The other bigger shock is that Tik Tok refugees migrating to Rednote is that they have discovered a real gem of a site that provides them a great chance to integrate and talk to predominantly Chinese users and given them the opportunity to discover more of the lies that they have been fed by the MSM and the USA Government. This is what the USA Government feared most and is going to backfire badly.

Did the Anglo-Saxon Whites buy North America from the Native American Indians?

 There was a video on Youtube, I think from a movie scene, about a White barbarian leader talking down to a Native American Indian Chief, that the White Government was prepared to give the Native American Indians a place called a reservation for the Indians to live in peace and safety. This was rejected with some very intelligent counter by the Native American Indian Chief.

The Native American Indian Chief asked the White barbarian leader, whose land was he talking about? North America already belonged to the Native American Indians until it was stolen from them by the Anglo-Saxon Whites. Did the Anglo-Saxon Whites buy North America from the Native American Indians? Did the Anglo-Saxon Whites used trading to get hold of North America from the Native American Indians? The White barbarian chief was visibly stunned by such questions.

Was that the reason that the Anglo-Saxon Whites had resorted to genocide to get rid of the Native American Indians and forced them into reservations that they had resisted? The Whites obviously feared reprisals if the Native American Indian population was large enough, just like in China and India. As it was, there was little that the Native North American Indians could do, as they could not compare with the Whites in weapon availability and in numbers to fight back.

We Chinese must be thankful that China did not succumb to the Anglo-Saxon Whites during the century of humiliation, otherwise we will not be in a better position as the Natives of North America and probably living in concentration camps in the Gobi Desert.

American job creation, one man needs 2/3 jobs to put food on the table

 That, by the way, is job creation in the USA. Jobs created for people who need two to three jobs to put food on the table and pay the rent. By the way also, most of these are the workers that Trump is trying to deport en masse, millions of them.

Believe in those job creations if you like. They could just be plucking such gloated numbers from the air and will need a correction by lowering the gloated numbers by hundreds of thousands later on. What else has the USA never lie? Remember they already admitted to lying, cheating and stealing.

Do we believe Trump will just sit by and be put in a position where he has to outdo Biden? Not Trump the boaster that even got laughed at by the delegates at the UN for praising himself in front of everyone, who knew he was just boasting.

For those workers who need to have two or three jobs, that is already a clear sign that working less is a fallacy and has already ended for the USA.
