American regime wants to control and censor all media in the USA. No more freedom of speech

 The USA thinks it can just pull wool over people's eyes over ByteDance ownership. What the USA wants is the technology of Tik Tok that is eating the breakfast, lunch and dinner of USA's domestic apps like Meta, Twitter and Youtube, which does not provide a platform for truthful news and vloggers are censored talking about the genocide in Gaza.

If Tik Tok goes under the control of the USA, being sold to a USA company, it will have to follow the censorship regime like Meta, Twitter and Youtube. It will basically be a lame duck app. That is why, whether Tik Tok gets banned eventually or sold to a USA company, most Tik Tok refugees are saying they want to remain on Rednote.

What the USA will do is also to ban Rednote down the road using the same narrative that it is a National Security Issue, being a truly China-centric app, more so than Tik Tok. What does that tell us about a country that touted itself to have freedom in this and that but does not walk the talk. Chinese citizens describe such freedom as without choice.

China's massive investment in renewable energy to save the energy is demonised as a threat by American terrorists

 In the face of China building more dams for energy generation, the USA and the West are demonizing China using all kinds of arguments from environmental issues, countries water rights issue, protection of endangered species of animals and fish issues. Trump vis a vis the USA itself wants to sell more of his oil and obviously wants China to be its main customer, rather than allowing China to be more dependent on renewables like water, solar and wind energy. Trump has already blackmailed the EU, forcing the EU to buy more oil from the USA or he will raise tariffs against them.

Much controversy has been raised against China's dams upstream of the Mekong River, provoking anxieties in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar and Cambodia. There is a political agenda involved to provoke bad blood between China and the other South-East Asian countries. The source of the Mekong is in Tibet, and it is reported that only 17% of the Mekong water originates from China, with the rest of the water originating from other sources like rainfall, lakes and reservoirs further downstream. What then is the issue with China building numerous dams in Yunnan Province to harness renewable energy? The USA and the West are stirring up a hornet's nest to create fear among the ASEAN countries to fulfil their agenda, the same as creating false threats so that the USA can station troops in countries to 'protect' them against fabricated threats.

There is now another demonization move being stirred up that involves India. China is building several more dams along the Yarlung Tsangpo River, which is the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River that runs through India and Bangladesh. The narrative to arouse India to go against China in the building of those dams is a works-in-progress.

Trump thinks the whole world owes America a living

 Trump is the most prolific liar of a President in USA history. The fact that he is a convicted felon makes a mockery of the position of the President of the United States. It lowers the Position of President whose job is running a circus, not leading the world as a superpower. Of course, he can pardon himself now, but I think all USA citizens ought to be ashamed. In time to come USA citizens going abroad will be loathe at and looked down upon.

Trump wants to be the President that signs the most executive orders, makes the most ridiculous and atrocious decisions, wants the most attention with his antics, thinks the whole world owes the USA a living, having to provide the USA with most things for them to enjoy, and being paid for with their toilet papers, on top of him being the most bankrupted President in the history of the USA. When they say the whole world laughs at Trump, that is an understatement. The whole world laughs at the USA and its citizens. The whole world hates and condemns Trump for all the trouble he is causing, all to cater to his narcissistic character.

The USA is being isolated more and more with Trump in power. That is the reality. What does changing the name of 'Gulf of Mexico' to 'Gulf of America' do to the USA? It is all nonsense. Not many countries around the world wants anything to do with the USA's 'Rules Based Order' nonsense as well, except the Anglo-Saxon White clique and a few that grovels at the feet of the USA. The 'Rules Base Order' was to enable the USA to sidestep the UN International Law to do its dirty deeds.

American slave owners did not pay slave wages to their African slaves...slaves not entitled to any pay

 The USA was the country that kidnapped Black Africans to works as slaves and probably did not even pay them slave wages. As Putin always say, whatever the USA accused others of doing, it has done it itself. Is the USA not ashamed talking about slave wages? Obviously not!

Now, we have come to the stage of a nuclear war. Which country had ever been known to nuke another country in the history of mankind? Not once, but twice. And yet accusing North Korea of being a threat to the world with its possession of nukes. Will the world wake up and be sensible as to who is a greater nuclear threat to the rest of the world.

Now psychotic Trump is again talking about trying to have another meeting to persuade Kim Jong Un to de-nuclearize. De-nuclearize and let the USA flatten it? Who is realistically going to trust the USA leaders like Trump. Kim is not as foolish as Trump may think, although he is trying to flatter Kim by saying he is a smart guy. When his back is turn, Trump is a different kind of person, and as someone commented, Trump will even sell out his own grandmother.

The day when Singapore implodes

 Who would ever think that Singapore would implode when it is now touted as one of the most successful and richest country in the world? Everywhere you turn is success in Singapore. The pay of all the elites is in the millions, multi millions just like model USA. Singapore is like a miniature copy of America in everything, following America, imitating America in practically all its policies for economic development.

When the Americans switched from a manufacturing nation to focus on the service and finance industries, Singapore followed suit. When the Americans started to sell junk bonds, introduced computer assisted trading in the stock market, derivative trading, Singapore did the same. When the Americans started to pay their CEOs in the millions, Singapore could not resist and did the same, now even chicken rice businesses also pay their CEOs in the millions. Everything the Americans did must be good and just follow blindly. When the Americans started to bring in foreign talents in droves, Singapore did the same and forgetting that the USA is a continent size country with more than 330m in population while Singapore is but a little piece of rock with barely 5m population. This did not stop Singapore from wanting to import more foreigners to make it 6.9m or 10m or 15m, as if it is of continental size like the USA, unlimited land.

America is now imploding. The facade of growth is hidden by its ability to print free money that Singapore could not. The unrestrained rise of cost of living, high property prices, high medical cost, high insurance, high legal fees, high education fees leading to students ended up in debt just in paying tuition fees, high taxi fares etc etc are now the norms in Singapore. Trump is now kicking out as many immigrants as he could for robbing the jobs of the Americans. Singapore is still sleeping and did not see that this is the same problem that would be politically very costly to Singapore. Instead of following Trump to kick out excessive foreigners, Singapore is asking for more.

Singapore is not the USA and is foolish to follow everything the Americans are doing without thinking and not looking into the mirror. The problems and crisis the Americans are facing would be repeated in Singapore. Singapore does not distill or filter out American policies that may not be beneficial to the island, and some are obviously harmful and damaging. 

China learnt from Singapore. China also learnt from the Americans and the rest of the world but very discriminating in picking only those that are useful and applicable and discarded those that are harmful. China is very conscious of keeping the cost of living low for its people, keeping the salaries of political leaders and CEOs of private companies within reasonable limits, keep transportation cost low, medical fee, tuition fee, housing low to be competitive in the world market. There is a lot of wisdom in how China embraces, follows, learns and adopt American and Singapore's ways of doing things. China is moving very fast in its competition with the Americans but would not suffer the same kind of problems the Americans are facing. The experience of Americans in their exchange with the Chinese in the RedNote app is very telling.

China is keeping the pay of CEOs and political leaders very lean vis a vis the Americans. This in a way allows the Chinese to price their products and services very competitively in the world, and keeping the cost of living low and bearable to its people.

America is imploding though they keep telling the world that all is fine, their economy is rock solid. If that is so, there would be no need to make America great again. If that is so, there would be no need to lie to the American people about how good their life is and China is collapsing, the Chinese people are suffering and having a hard life, under an oppressive regime.

When would Singapore implode under the weight of high cost of living and high cost of everything, and the load of providing good jobs and everything to foreigners and new citizens, like the USA?
