How far ahead is China in the space race?

 Well, when the USA was denied participation in research on the Tiangong Space Station, they claimed it was not up to their standard and wanted signs and instructions to be in English, making that as an excuse for their failure to gain access. The USA wants China to change all that in order for the USA to participate. China said that its refusal to let the USA on board the Tiangong Space Station was that the USA had nothing positive to contribute. That was a very stinging rebut. Did the USA feel the sting attempting to spin its exclusion around?

When China landed a probe on Mars, the USA was asking how China managed to do that, thinking that the Chinese were still far behind the USA in space technology. Landing a probe on Mars is no easy thing for China, knowing that the Chinese were latecomers in the space race, compared to the USA more than five decades of head start. What the Chinese pulled off was eye-opening.

China is now testing its reusable rocket tech that will make transport to the Tiangong Space Station and launching satellites into orbit much cheaper. China is going to launch an unprecedented large number of satellites to rival Starlink and this breakthrough is going to be a game changer.

Oh, by the way, the two stranded Astronauts on the International Space Station since June 5, 2024, are now scheduled to return on March 19 if I do not read wrongly. With all the touting and experience that the USA and NASA had, rescuing two stranded astronauts took more than 286 days to undertake, if the March 19 date do materialize. Excuses after excuses were trotted out to cover all the ineptitudes of NASA and its space superiority. Where is Trump's space force that he is gloating about for years?

I am sure that when these two astronauts do return to earth there will be a song and dance about how great the rescue mission was and how difficult it was to carry out. Russia could have done it in a week. Do not make Putin laugh at the touted superiority of the USA and NASA's space program.

D grader Trump wants to con Xi and Putin

 Trump wants to con Russia and China to cut down their military spending. Russia and China must not fall into this trap to marginalize their military upgrading.

Trump is reported to be touting about cutting USA military spending by half. Can you honestly believe that? So, he will probably be asking China and Russia to cut their military spending also by half. Remember that Trump unilaterally pulled the USA out of a nuclear treaty with the Russians six years ago, in order to go on a building spree. Of course, to do that the USA will always find ways and means to cook up the fabrication that Russia violated the terms of the treaty. Fabrication is a weapon that the USA has innovated into an art. Nobody can beat them in terms of funding and execution.

Having said that, all that spending by the USA on its military is the result of massive corruption within the military itself. How to honestly justify spending US$9,000 for a small plastic bag of metal rings, US$1,200 for a cup and US$600 for a toilet seat cover? Therefore, cutting off a massive chunk of the military budget is not going to harm the USA military if strict controls are exercised to rein in corruption and prevent military contractors from ripping off the Pentagon blindly.

Trump could see that despite the massively smaller military spending by China, the latter has managed to garner more bang for the buck, with rollout of 6th generation fighter jets and aircraft carriers, with two other nuclear submarines reported to be under construction.

Why are Chinese tops in AI? It is Math's!

 

The foundation of AI can be found in Math's. The Chinese are very good at Math's, trained from very young. This 1 minute clip shows how the Chinese children count using their fingers at super speed. And millions of Chinese children are trained this way, paving the way for them to excel in Math's and to continue to excel in AI.

Below is a 9 minute clip of an Abacus and Mental Maths Competition held in Singapore.

Trump wants to make America great again by attacking and invading weak and small countries.

 Trump and his cohort of political thugs and hoodlums want to make America great again by creating wars and invading weak and small countries. So it will be a revival of American Manifest Destiny of the last two centuries in which US decimated all the independent self-governing native American states and genocided all the natives before taking over their land and in which US invaded Hawaii and Mexico which lost one million six hundred and sixty-five thousand square miles of territories to the United States.

In the past two centuries US could attack and invade weak and small countries with impunity. Now the situation has changed. US can no longer bully and invade other countries with impunity. Trump had given spurious reasons for US intention to take over Mexico, Canada, Greenland and Panama. The whole world will not allow that to happen. The whole world and that includes all the European countries must support and cooperate with Russia and China and all countries of the South to warn the US that an attack or invasion of any of the four aforementioned territories will be considered a declaration of war against the whole world. If that happens Russia and China together with Europe must immediately declare war on the US and stop US aggression. The rogue United States must never be allowed to succeed in its aggression under its new form of American Manifest Destiny.

Trump and all US political thugs and hoodlums must know that they cannot make America great again through illogical wars and aggression. They must henceforth stop their neurotic thoughts and ideas of achieving greatness through wars of aggression less they plunge the world into a nuclear war and armageddon .

China should stop talking to hostile states on human rights, fentanyl, Taiwan or any domestic issues

 The American terrorists are cunningly choosing unfriendly topics to include in their agenda for talks with China. Most of these topics are either Chinese domestic affairs or fabrications or non existence problems that did not concern China at all. China must not be led by the nose by the American terrorists and let the American terrorists set the agenda and write the narratives.

China has resolved all issues of minority rights in the country and taking very good care of its minorities. Just because the American terrorists claimed that there are human rights issues in China, China must meekly talk to them officially, even painfully explaining to them when the troublemakers did not bother to listen, wasting time and being abused by the American terrorists. China should also slam the doors on American paid terrorists working in UN and using the UN agencies to pressurise China on such fabricated issues. China must decide what to talk and what not to talk to the American terrorists and troublemakers. There is a big difference being polite and diplomatic or being stupid and be made to defend false issues and charges made by the American terrorists.  China cannot explain anything when the charges are false, and the troublemakers knew they were false.  They just want to make China look bad, not to solve any issues. The only way to deal with such troublemakers is not to talk to them, not even gangster Trump.

Taiwan, Tibet, Xinjiang are all domestic affairs of China. Why bother to talk to the troublemakers whose intention is to create trouble? The more China talk to the troublemakers, the more stupid China would look to the world, like admitting there were really such problems, and even conceding that foreigners have the right to meddle with China's domestic affairs. The Americans are raising all these issues, including Trump, for only one purpose, to put pressure on China and implicating that China is at fault. China must be very clear that anyone raising such issues comes with bad and hostile intention. What these hostile troublemakers need is a tight slap on their faces and chase out of the door. There is no reason for China to talk to anyone about Taiwan, Tibet or Xinjiang. There is no need to especially when China is strong enough to kick asses.

Fentanyl is a fake problem the Americans are pushing to China. What China sold are chemicals for medical use, legitimate transactions to legitimate buyers. That is good enough. How the drug lords and smugglers got their chemicals to process into fentanyl is not China's problem. By talking to the troublemakers, China is indirectly admitting guilt, that it is responsible for the American drug problem. When would China understand that the American terrorists are using fentanyl as an excuse to attack China no matter what China say or do? The Americans knew that China is not the cause. Stop being silly. Tell the Americans it is their problem and let them clean up their own shit house. The Americans want China to solve their drug problems? What a joke. The bigger joke is on China, to stand there like a clown, with the Americans pointing fingers at China like it is China's fault.

China is no longer a weak country to be bullied every day. China is a superpower and must behave like a superpower and kick asses, even Trump's ass if he behaves like a gangster or comes to stir shit and trouble. If China refuses to engage in their silly accusations and allegations, there is nothing they can do except go bang the walls. That is the best reward for troublemakers.

Xi must NOT meet Trump, let him wait outside the door, forever, until he behaves and stops his aggression against China. Period.
