Trump and his lunatics would not be seen in Beijing 没门

 Poor demented Joe Biden is now infamous as a sitting President of the USA in recent years not to have visited China, not invited, not welcomed to be feasted in Beijing. His aggressive policies against China did not go unnoticed. Caveat, it may be not fair to blame him entirely as his policies were not his policies but the policies of Blinken and his handlers.

The Biden regime was the last regime that China would talk to, would let them come to Beijing to talk, thinking that something good could come out from these talks. China must now have learnt everything it needed on the futility of talking to clowns and enemies wanting to put China down. Practically in every of such talks, it was one way, dictating and ordering China to do this or that or else. 

China has had enough of the American nonsense. No talk is better that useless talks. No visit is better than paying for the meals of hostile gangsters that came with unfriendly agendas.

Trump is likely to be the next Joe Biden, not be invited to Beijing as a friend. And more, none of the gangsters in Trump's rogue regime, the likes of Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Howard Lutnick, Scott Bessant etc would be invited to Beijing for talks and to be feasted by the Chinese leadership as friends. Everyone of these clowns is a hooligan, a gangster in disguise. There is nothing worthy to talk to them. Out of necessity, Chinese leaders may meet them outside China, but not in China. 

Beijing, Shanghai or anywhere in China are for friends of China, honoured guests being invited with good intentions, not being invited to quarrel, to bicker, to fight, to throw allegations and making false accusations and lies to harm China. This is likely the new policy of China in dealing with thugs and scoundrels that meant harm, meant nothing good to China. Why waste time, good food and good wine on scoundrels and enemies and inviting them home, in China? Just keep them at a distance, with a ten foot pole. If they want to talk, talk somewhere else like in Geneva, Stockholm, anywhere, except in China and let them pay for their food, drinks and lodging, and buy their own red carpets.

The Americans are not hiding their hostility and intention against China. They want to put China down, want to attack and invade China, applied sanctions, bans against China and Chinese citizens, even arresting Chinese citizens on drum up charges, fabricated allegations. There is no reason for China to continue in this farce of wanting to be friends with the Americans or the West. They openly called China enemy. How bad can it get? Why pretend to be friends, inviting them into the house, feast them, entertain them only to be demonised, accused and attacked by them? These are rogues, gangsters, scoundrels, cheats, liars with no good intention. Enough is enough. No need to play such nonsensical games anymore. If they want to fight, bring it on. Until these rogues behave like decent human beans, just stay away from them.

China is out of bound to these scoundrels pretending to be decent human beans.

Why did Trump slap Modi so hard, so many times?

 Modi and India are still recovering from the rude shock from Trump. When Trump slapped Modi in the White House by calling out India as the most unfair trading state with the highest tariffs against America, in front of the media, Modi still did not get it. Modi thought it was Trump saying it in jest, just Trump's dark humour.

Then the slapping came more frequently and in harsher tones. The 50% tariffs slapped on India, the highest in the world, only equal to Brazil's, was like a thunderbolt. This cannot be true, but true and a body slam. What is going on? What happens to Modi's bromance with Trump? The feeling of being jilted by Trump is hard to swallow.

Trump did not stop at that. Trump openly called out India for losing a few Rafales to Pakistan and then invited Pakistan military chief to the White House, not Modi. What was the message? And Trump announced collaboration with Pakistan to refine oil to sell to India. Ouch!

Then came the warning. Stop buying Russian oil or else. Trump is not the Trump that Modi loved to hug anymore. Trump is talking down to India like a mafia boss and India, a rival gang being threatened by him to do what Trump wants India to do.

How can Trump treat the next superpower, India, in such humiliating ways? Trump is not holding back any punches, not giving Modi any face, calling the Indian economy a dead economy, and best to be left alone to be dead.

With these developments, would Modi still come running to kiss Trump's ass should Trump tweet that he did not mean what he said about India, and Modi is still a good friend?

The big question, why did rogue Trump suddenly change his attitude towards India and Modi? Did someone whisper something to Trump about Modi and India? Or did Trump have an enlightened moment in the early morning to see what Modi and India were up to? What Trump did was his genuine feelings for India, a stray dog not worth the time.

Why did Trump kick India and Modi around like a football in front of the whole world, smashing all delusion that India and Modi were telling the world, that it is a superpower, or superpower to be, a leader of the Global South and must be respected, that India and Modi carry some weights as international players, big players. India is nothing, not a superpower or superpower to be.

What is Trump's message to Modi and India?

Surprised, social media still arguing who pays those tariffs

 I am surprised that social media is still arguing about who are paying those tariffs, as if it is such a difficult thing to understand. Who is paying is now being answered by USA consumers having to pay more for the same stuff at retail outlets. It is clear as crystal that only the blind could not see or refused to see.


Are overseas manufacturers of goods or their government paying those tariffs? No, they are just diverting their exports to Global South countries, selling at the same price, made at the same cost, shipped at the same cost, paying workers the same wages. The Global South countries are happy with the cheap goods, the manufacturers in China are happy with doing the same thing of providing what the Global South needs.

The USA consumers may just have to look on enviously what the Global South are now enjoying, adding insult to injury perhaps. USA consumers do not even have the privilege of buying cheap and good EVs from China. That says it all. And that vote they carried in their democratic mindset tells them what it all means - just a mirage of 'freedom of choice'. Between the right and the left hand perhaps!

Quite rightly, the only way the USA can reduce its deficit vis a vis China is to import less, which China is doing them a favor by selling more to the Global South. If India and China were to patch up their differences, this is going to be another avenue for two-way trade to balloon. It does not matter who wants to build the China/India bridge, so long as it does not benefit the USA.

China is playing a different military game from the USA


According to Kevin Walmsley on his site 'Inside China Business' China is doing things radically different from the USA and that is perhaps why John Mearsheimer is accusing China of abusing its military might by not following traditional rules. There are no rules when it comes to a country not willing to continue to allow itself to be bullied under such rules of engagement.

The USA is slowly being outflanked by Chinese military innovation, even with the benefit of experts in its military industrial complex by not thinking out of the box and still stuck with its mindset on building bigger aircraft carriers to project power.

China is going big into building drone carriers, the alternative to building aircraft carriers that are expensive to build, needed support ships for protection, carried thousands of expensive planes and very expensive to maintain with large crews, whose loss are going to be detrimental to the navy's power.

Drone carriers are cheaper to build; with drones they carried even cheaper to build than those expensive fighter jets costing hundreds of millions each. Besides that, drones carry no crew for active missions. China is now building military drones capable of taking off vertically from small vessels, even fishing vessels. We all know how many fishing vessels that China has around the seas with China the dominant ship builder in the world that nobody can now touch. Is that the reason the USA is trying to hype up the danger of China's shipbuilding industry as well?

In a word, when it comes to a war, China has a whole armada of small drone carriers that are game changers in every sense of the word. And these can be everywhere, ready to launch drones at targets that probably aircraft carriers do not have the luxury of carrying out close enough. Having said that, hypersonic missiles can probably do the job as well, which China is no laggard in their development.

The title of a professor is not equal to sensible thinking...can be a hillbilly

The USA and the West always complain about China not playing by the rules. By whose rules are they talking about? The USA self-proclaimed 'Rules Base Order' that everyone is supposed to follow?

China abusing it military might? That is truly laughable. I do have some respect for John Mearsheimer's views, with due respect to his reputation, but not after reading some of his totally warped viewpoints. This man is all out to demonize China and put it in bad light. Which is why he cannot see eye to eye with Jeffrey Sachs when it comes to debating China.

Who is the greatest abuser of military power? Who started all the wars - in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and now about to ignite a big war with Iran coming soon? Who supports genocide in Gaza and earlier in Yemen? Yemen's genocide was swept under the carpet by the MSM.

How many military bases does China have around the world compared to the USA's 800 plus bases all around the world, that might classify China as an abuser of its military might? Countries do not build military bases in other sovereign states on the pretext of protecting them. They are to deter them from going against the interest of the USA. This is just military coercion masquerading as protection. For interests' sake, protection against who? Against imaginary and hyped-up enemies that do not exist. If I may say so, all the protection needed by countries is against the USA, the one and only rouge state in recent history.
