Do not underestimate the Blacks in Africa, helped by the Chinese

 The Blacks in USA are the minority, like the Native American Indians. They can do nothing. Do not talk about Black Lives Matter. That is just an eyewash to fool them and keep them under control.

But do not underestimate the Blacks in Africa, helped by the Chinese. The Anglo-Saxon Whites looked down on the Chinese in the past. Now they fear the rise of China. Africa will likewise rise. It is just a matter of time.

There is a narrative floating that according to Nostradamus, the Red Dragon will rise next and then fall. Of course, Empire rise and fall, and China cannot continue to be at the top forever. This is to be expected. Now the USA is reading too much into Nostradamus' prediction and is fearful of China's rise. It is using every mischief to make sure China is impeded - economically and if necessarily militarily as well. The latter is an option which the USA is not sure of winning, not with Russia closing ranks with China.

That is why Trump is trying desperately to pry apart Russia and China, even to the extent of giving in to the demands of Putin regarding Ukraine. China has indicated it will never ditch Russia just to pander to the Europeans. Sergei Lavrov on the other side has said that Russia will always honor its commitment towards China. That says it all.

Reasons why you need to kill the Anglo-Saxon Amreican or British first

 Reasons why you need to kill the Anglo-Saxon Amreican or British first: rather than the snake or if it is a tiger, lion, hyena, bear or crocodile. Compare their evilness, wickedness, poison and destructive power in proportions:'

One evil Anglo-Saxon American = 20 cobras
= 10 tigers
= 12 lions
= 15 hyenas
= 20 bears
= 30 crocodiles

Making China collapse is different from collapsing Japan and Germany

 Making China collapse is different from collapsing Japan and Germany. Even Russia is not that easy to take down as can be seen happening before our eyes. The collapse of China had been gloated more than twenty years ago and is now being renewed on a year-to-year basis. China will still be standing and be around while Gordon Chang may never live to see its collapse.

China has been blessed with two advantages, a big domestic market that others covet and a manufacturing hub that others cannot replicate. Japan and Germany may be manufacturing hubs in their respective high point, but do not have domestic market to leverage on, relying on the USA to their detriment. Therefore, taking down China is no piece of cake, not when the USA depends on 80% of its consumer products from China. Without Chinese manufacturing, Apple, Walmart and Amazon among others would not be what they are today. Even big names in high end goods have to be sourced from China.

Going back to basics of attracting manufacturing back to the USA with coercion, subsidies and threat is not going to work and easier said than done. Costs alone is not going to make such manufacturing successful and the lack of a big market like China is detrimental. Who wants to set up factories to suffer losses just selling in the USA alone. Investors go for the money making, not the hype. Subsidies can only go so far, and when you move into building factories in the USA, those subsidies are not going to be forever. Once the fish bites the bait, it is caught with no way out.

Xi is not going to Washington

 Xi is not going to Washington. Trump is just farting from his vagina mouth to give the impression that Xi is desperate to want to talk to him in the face of his tariffs. Xi does not even want to attend his inauguration despite being specially invited earlier. Does that not tell us anything? Trump is desperately seeking an audience with Xi. But it will not happen in Washington for sure.

China already knew long ago, during Trump's first term, what to expect from Trump this time around, and If I may say so, China is more in favor of decoupling from the USA than the other way round. Not going to Washington will justify my view of the situation.

What has China been doing just this past decade? China has been expanding its market for its exports in Africa, Asia and South America, knowing that this is the future for its manufacturing and could see that the USA is no longer the priority for its exports. Even ASEAN, that used to be pro-USA in the past has chosen to go along with China. While the West completely ignored ASEAN, China was the first country to sign a free trade agreement with ASEAN in 2000 according to Yansi Varoufakis.

What has China been doing since Trump's first term and starting his trade war? China realized it has to source for food supplies from many countries to be secure, instead of relying on the USA and be held hostage in times of crisis. Now, China is moving away from the USA in food supplies and giving Brazil, Argentina, Russia and soon Indonesia much needed boost for their agricultural sectors. The USA farmers can just look on, bang their heads and salivating.

China's Belt and Road is another important milestone for securing trade with other countries in Central Asia and another access route to Europe bypassing the choke points of Straits of Malacca and Suez Canal, killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, it is another avenue for China to invests its trade surpluses which would otherwise have mainly to be diverted towards USA Treasuries and assets that are now deemed to be extremely risky. Financing and building those infrastructures for other countries is safe, beneficial without the risks of seizure by the Mafia.

And of course, BRICS is also very important for China and its fellow members. Make no mistake, economic relationships are a very important weapon when it comes to de-dollarization. Yanis Varoufakis in a lecture said that the USA's confrontation against China is all about stopping BRICS from coming up with an alternative system to bypass the US$ hegemony. The USA is paranoid and nervous about the agenda of BRICS, and we can expect more threats from Trump going forward. His 150% tariff threat failed to move the needle as far as BRICS members are concern.

How stupid are the people of ASEAN?

 SINGAPORE: More than half of 2,023 respondents polled across 11 Southeast Asian countries would side with the United States over China “if the region were forced to align itself with one of the two strategic rivals”, according to findings published in an annual think tank survey.

The State of Southeast Asia 2025 report, based on polls conducted by the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) between Jan 3 and Feb 15 and released on Thursday (Apr 4), examined regional perceptions on strategic issues and the influence of major powers.

When asked to pick between the US and China, 52.3 per cent of respondents favoured the US while 47.7 per cent supported China....

Respondents included researchers, media representatives, non-government organisations (NGOs), regional government officials, private sector representatives and members of civil society.  CNA

The above survey on 2,023 people claimed to represent the views of 680 million people in ASEAN. This itself speaks on the credibility and seriousness of this so called survey, if it is even qualified as a survey, and speaks a lot about the credibility of the organisation conducting the survey.

Are the 680 million ASEAN population so dull, so ignorant, did not know that the Americans are the world's number terrorist state, inciting wars, conducting wars, committing genocides and crimes against humanity, when China has not done a single of these crimes? And the Rump administration is conducting all kinds of silly wars, tariffs, sanctions against friends and foes, even arrogantly talking about invading and annexing nation states. 

The 680 million ASEAN population cannot be so stupid. It is the 1,023 that picked the American terrorists that are stupid. But then look at who they are, researchers, media clowns, NGOs mostly funded by CIAs, etc etc. With such a small sample size, it is so easy to fix the result of the survey by adding a few more respondents from pro American crony states and a few lesser from the Muslim states or anti American camp.

It is surprising that ISEAS would dare to put up this little straw poll and called it a survey to represent the views of 680 million ASEAN population. What is the agenda of this so called survey? What is ISEAS up to?
