Do not underestimate America!

 The faith in the great American society, their innovation and creative and free spirit is still a vivid memory of the people that lived through the golden years of American greatness. America seems to be the indestructible Empire, growing from strength to strength after WW2. The defeats in the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the Afghan War did not cause a dent on the American armour of invincibility.

Trump is now in the midst of the biggest American War ever, a world war on all fronts, short of a kinetic war, in domestic America and the world. And Trump is dancing on every stage he is appearing, that he is the victor. And his merry men and supporters were all with him, in large numbers in all his parades, MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, America will be great again, in the hands of the great Trump and his creatures in Washington. Do not underestimate America, nothing will go wrong or can go wrong in America.

Lately the tide seems to have changed, with the cheering lowered to a whimper, with rally crowds disappearing, with national guards all over the cities attacking Americans instead of Trump supporters. And the media have a great day of fun and laughter, displaying everything they can get their hands on about Trump's exciting past. But not to worry, nothing can stop Trump and America.

The farmers are having a bit of worrying about their crops not selling. These hillbillies will rise to the occasion with their ingenuity and creative spirit. There are plenty of wonderful alternatives to switch from farm produces to other more lucrative products. Maybe they can turn all their glorious farmlands into mines for badly needed rare earths. Rare earths are everywhere, just dig and you will find them. The farmers would become richer and can support Trump more wholeheartedly.

They can also turn their lands into playground for car racing and motor sports. The falling oil prices due to excess oil available that China and the world are not buying while Russia and the Middle East are offering them to China and India at great discounts mean that Americans have oil practically for free. This could lead to a great revival of gas guzzlers, 10,000cc automobiles from American legendary giants like Ford, Chrysler, GM etc etc. There is no need to close down these car factories. Americans can build more ICE car factories like the roaring days of the 60s and 70s. There will be plenty of flat lands to fly their gigantic tanks on the plains of America. Say goodbye to EVs that are not really green friendly, say goodby to climate change, when oil is aplenty and cheap like hell. Las Vegas would be alive and merry again. Chicago, Detroit, Ohio, Cincinnati, can have all the motowns, cowboys and bars packed to the brim again and merry making.

By the way, the American farmers can turn themselves into philanthropists, offering their produces free to the rest of the world, to the hungry in third world countries and those in Gaza, and be made famous for their generosities.

Boeing, with all their Indian engineers from the schools of little Indian villages can continue to produce and sell more planes to American companies when oil is cheap. Flying around the abandoned or transformed fields of soya beans would be great funs for the weekend. Nevermind that nobody is buying Boeings anymore. American domestic market would be big enough to absorb all the Boeing planes. Every American can buy and own one instead of automobiles for commutation, cheaper than drones.

The American weapons industry too would have a lot of businesses manufacturing weapons for wargames that need only duds to fly or shoot around. There may be no more wars around the world, but Americans can have a lot of wargames with Americans or the European states, expending as much weapons as they need and bill to the War Department to churn the economy. The Military Industrial Complex would be just as happy. The American innovative spirit would be pushed to the limits, with National Guards playing wargames between states, and chasing after illegal immigrants along the streets...and beating up Americans.

The chip manufacturers too would be doing well, selling more advanced chips to MacDonald and Kentucky. There will be the happy problems of overcapacity in chip production in America while China is selling to the whole world with cheaper and better chips. Chip manufacturers can lower their production cost by importing more cheap and good Indian workers for their factories and supply chains.

America will never run out of great ideas with Clown Trump and his weasels in charge. They will turn the whole of America into a bigger circus with more exhilarating clownish acts. With more generals resigning, the military can be run cheaper with redneck generals that are expert in playing with guns in their backyards. Hegseth can carry a cane to whip the generals into shape. American streets would be alive and well, with fireworks from all the guns and heavy weapons that are now available for sale, and trigger happy National guards and ICE men with combat gears battling local police and sheriffs.

America will be such a great and exciting place after it achieves full isolation from the rest of the world, full self sufficiency in everything, especially in obsolete technology and abundance of oil and gas automobiles. NASA will be reactivated to send more manned missions to the moon in the Arizona Desert. Do not underestimate America when clowns and weasels and creeps are in charge. And there will be plenty of American dollars flowing freely in the streets of America. Americans will be very rich, with dollars overflowing from their pockets, baskets, bags and garages. Every American will become multi billionaires, throwing money happily everywhere, inside America.

And Trump can contribute all his wonderful ideas on what medicine to produce for the pharmaceutical industries. There will be a Trump cure for everything bearing Trump's signature. MAGA will become a reality. Trump will cure the failing American economy. He will make the farmers and ranchers rich again by asking them to sell their farms and ranches...but cannot sell to Chinese buyers. Or Trump may teach them now to become bankrupts and come back again like him.

Trump started all the trade and tariff wars and is now crying foul!

Trump initiated a trade war against China during his first term that is still unravelling. He launched another tariff war against China and the rest of the world during this second term, and the consequences are just beginning to be realized as to who it is hurting more. What has Trump actually managed to achieve so far? Make America Greater Again does not seem to be working? On the contrary, it is making China even greater.

For a start, why is Scott Bessent crying aloud about China holding USA farmers hostage by not buying their soya beans and corn. What about the USA Government refusing to let USA consumers buy Chinese EVs and erecting high tariffs on other Chinese goods? Are the two methods of carrying out a trade war not identical? What constitutes a trade war if one side just had to concede on every front without retaliating? That is nothing like a trade war. That is capitulation to high-handed bullying. Who started the trade war in the first place? The one that started it should not be crying foul, right?

The USA assumed that China is just like Germany and Japan that it could just dictate to and put them under its thumb to prevent them from rising in the past. China already said that it is ready for any war with the USA and the USA can ignore that warning at its own risk.

China had put its plan to take on the USA on every front probably decades earlier, while the USA was basking in its arrogance and overconfidence that China can never rise to compete against it. The pushing of Russia towards China was the real blessing in disguise, with the two countries complementing each other perfectly in terms of energy supply in return for economic support.

China set its sights on overcoming the prospect of blockades by building the BRI to enable it to overcome those chokepoints, namely the Straits of Malacca, Suez Canal and Panama Canal. Oil from Russia now comes through pipelines and also by train from Iran. Trade with Central Asia comes through the BRI that also extends to Europe. China had been building up its renewable energy base of dams, wind turbines, solar energy and nuclear power plants, while the USA is intent on sticking to the fossil fuel route. That diversification by China takes care of one important National Security Risk for China.

China leveraged on the trade war initiated by Trump during his first term by migrating its food supplies from USA to Brazil, Argentina and Russia. It served two purposes - retaliation against the USA and solving its National Security Risk in food requirements. In fact, there is a third purpose which is de-dollarization. Having said that, China had also been busy with its own food production in house with desert reclamation projects and experiments in saltwater rice that has reaped success. Do we know that China is now the biggest producer of seafood in the world?

Apart from energy and food, China also controls important resources that it set out to acquire like rare earth, essential metals, bauxite and others needed for its industries together with the building of all the processing and refining logistics. China is now self-sufficient in many areas and does not have to rely on others, particularly unfriendly ones.

Trump is the Godsent devil for the evil Americans

Trump supplying all the weapons to Israel to kill innocent women and children and then try to tell the world that he is trying to bring peace to the Middle East is a tad difficult to believe. More like Satan telling his believers that only he can bring them to heaven, not the other side of the divide.
Trump is not bringing peace to the Middle East for the sake of peace. He wants to pivot the war towards Iran and also against China. Believe me, the USA cannot sustain a war with Iran and China without shaking off support for Israel and therefore calling for a peace deal with Hamas is part of his sick agenda.

The USA has practically washed its hands off the Ukraine fiasco, knowing a victory is beyond reach and is just pushing the support for Ukraine to the Europeans, which the latter are finding it tenuous. It is just a division of labor, knowing the Anglo-Saxon Whites of Europe will have to continue with the war against Russia in Ukraine for the benefit of the USA. It was a glorious sacrifice by the Europeans, even willing to kill themselves economically for the USA.

What is more evident of the problems facing the USA can be gauged from the transfer of 20,000 defensive missiles from Ukraine to Israel during the skirmish with Iran. Weapons are clearly in short supply supporting two wars, and the USA clearly cannot afford to provide Israel with more missiles for taking down Iranian launched missiles during the conflict. Hence the need to transfer those missiles to Israel. Now trying to pull wool over unsuspecting eyes by gloating about producing more of such defensive missiles for Ukraine.

The USA and its allies are now planning to counter China's rare earth control by creating an Alliance of several countries, including India and Australia to beef up the supply of rare earth minerals. Rare earth minerals are essential for the making of weapons - rockets, drones, fighter jets, submarines and naval vessels, not to talk about commercial usage like EVs, mobile phones and computers. How long is this venture going to take? What took China more than two to three decades to reach its dominance will probably need several decades for the Alliance to come to fruition, with all the logistics, environmental issues to be sorted out. Good luck to those countries willing to pour in huge resources to build those facilities.

The problem for such an Alliance is the fact that China has the excess capacity to put them out of business by dumping supplies when those facilities outside China are up and running and bearing fruit. Are investors willing to face such a risk? I do not think so. Ever wonder why the USA is making so much of an issue over China's overcapacity? That in a way is partly China's National Security issue if truth be told.

What are the 'friendly, peace loving, champion of human rights and democracy' doing everyday?

  America, the paragon of all goodness and virtues, of love, democracy, human rights and peace, is on the front page news everyday. And the believers of this fetish, fake angels, really are demons, monsters, warmongering savages, murderers and everything evil, are doing exactly opposite of what their blind and dumb believers believe in them.

Top on the list, committing genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza, providing Israel, the executioners, with all the financial, political and military support, all the weapons and bombs, to do the killing. In Ukraine, the American terrorists are doing the same, full military, political and financial support in a war to destroy Russia, a sovereign nation state. Both Israel and Ukraine are protected by the American military forces to conduct wars and genocide without fear of being attacked by any country or countries.

In Venezuela, under the blatant and audacious excuse of drug trafficking, the American terrorists have amassed a huge invasion force of marines, warships, submarines and aircraft to invade another sovereign state. The believers are silent, supporting the American terrorists by consent.

In Nepal and Indonesia, the American just incited two massive rioting against the democratically elected govt, to conduct regime change. They were successful in overthrowing the Nepalese govt, but not in Indonesia.

In the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, the American terrorists continue to send their warships and warplanes to provoke China, to raise tension in the region and preparing for war with China. They are also sending more missile detachments into the region, with range that can reach China mainland.

Around the war, the American terrorists have started a world war by imposing tariffs on many nation states and coercing them from trading with China and Russia.

In Africa and Latin America, the American terrorists are everywhere fermenting revolt to destabilise these countries.

And America is the only rogue regime that has a budget of US$1.5b to fabricate and publish misinformation against countries they labelled as threats or enemies when no one is threatening America. US$1.5b is a huge sum of money, the whole defence budget of many small countries. Only the evil Americans would spend this kind of money to demonise, badmouth and slander countries when countries are all minding their own business, trading and rebuilding their economies, instead to making life better for Americans.

And the latest, aiding the Israelis or actually conducted bombing of Doha to kill peace makers in negotiation themselves.

The point is, no other countries in the whole world is conducting such aggressive and destructive activities anywhere, against any nation state, except the American terrorists themselves. And the stupid and blind believers are still believing in this evil American Empire, refusing to see the harm and crimes against humanity and peace committed by the evil American terrorists, still sinking praises of the followers of Satan.

America is the most evil and warmongering state in the world, and still fighting non stop wars and committing genocides and crimes against humanity, with rogues, scoundrels, liars and cheats and morally corrupted clowns in charge. America is a disease, a plague to world peace.

Negotiation is for the weak and losers

China today is not what it used to be yesterday. China must start to get use to its new stature as a real superpower not just militarily, but economically and in all fields.  The time for China to talk, to negotiate from the position of weakness is over. This does not mean that China should go around with a big stick and start to order everyone around. This is the time for China to mean what it says in its foreign policies and principles in non interference in other states' domestic affairs. China will not interfere in the domestic affairs of nation states, but China will not allow any state, big or small, Mickey Mouse, to mess around with China's domestic affair. China is ready to use the big stick against anyone messing around with China, provoking or agitating China. China need not be nice to troublemakers and irritating Mickey Mouse. China would continue to respect and treat every country as equals, but would be very rude to troublemakers. All the military aircraft of Mickey Mouse countries flying close to China's territorial airspace must be dealt with vigorously.

The evil American Empire did not negotiate with any country on anything. It just dictates to others on its own terms, on terms written by the Americans from a position of strength, like a big bully. The 20 points of settle for the Gaza conflict are not terms for negotiation. These are terms the Americans set for the Palestinians, like it or not. And the weak Palestinians are to accept them in toto, at best begging for a little concession. It is not meant for negotiation. Israel and the Americans are the biggest winner. The biggest mowing operation has the Palestinians back by at least 30 years with 2 million people rendered hapless in every way to rebuild their flattened country and their lives. Several generations of the Palestinians have been wasted by the genocide and wanton destruction of their lives and land. No compensation and war reparation!

China should not behave like the American rogues, the world top terrorist nation, to bully the rest of the world. China should treat the rest of the world as equals, as friends and partners, and there are things to negotiate, they should be negotiated fairly, equitably, on a win win basis. To achieve this, China must continue to grow its economy in all fields, to provide the goods and services that the world needs at competitive prices and quality. This is the real strength of a superpower, not the use of military might to bully and coerce nation states to do its bidding.

China must at the same time continue to build a strong military power to not only protect itself and its rights and national sovereignty, it must also be strong enough to protect the rights and sovereignty of all nation states, to establish a secure world of peace and economic prosperity, not to be cowered or forced into wars, unending wars of the rogue American Empire.

When China has established both economic and military superiority, there is no need to be nice to Mickey Mouse and pests, big or small. When they misbehaved, just give them the stick. The world needs to function in peace and security for the good of all countries. No need for unnecessary silly negotiations based on fake and fabricated excuses of the American terrorists. The big stick is the answer to the problems created by the gangsters and terrorists of the evil American Empire. They can only be stopped by force, not by fake negotiations. All the problems and troubles, wars in the world are created by the evil Americans. War is their business. The evil Americans prosper on a world with endless wars. Peace is not in their agenda.

The Americans have several armies of troublemakers. The CIA, the intelligence services, the foreign offices, diplomats, trade negotiators etc etc. These armies are out there to create trouble. That is their main job, to destabilise countries, spread lies and mislead countries, support terrorists, dissidents, traitors, mercenaries, saboteurs, conduct regime changes, assassinate national leaders, bribe opponents of ruling govts. China must not engage in negotiations with these American troublemakers. They did not negotiate to solve issues or problems but to create more issues to pressure and coerce China, to upset China. China must know what to negotiate, what to talk, to set the agenda and narratives. Do not be led by the Americans and the West to talk and talk, negotiate and negotiate, even negotiate about your wives and fathers. The best thing is to talk less with the Americans and the West, less negotiation. Just do and act on what is necessary. Make these troublemakers redundant, out of jobs, loss in what to do when there is nothing for them to do.

The Americans and the West have adopted this concerted practice to attack China in any trade negotiation with Xinjiang, Tibet or Taiwan as a preample to attack and embarrass China. China should not allow this to happen anymore. If the Americans and the West want to vomit their shit in China, tell them to swallow the shit and go somewhere else, cancel the negotiation or talks immediately. The Americans simply threw wild accusations about genocide in Xinjiang and demanded China to prove its innocence, demanding the right to investigate in Xinjiang. China should shaft the big middle finger into their face and tell them to fuck off. All their crimes against humanity, war crimes, invading countries, assassination of national leaders, now threatening to invade Venezuela, genocide in Gaza....are the worse behaviours befitting of animals and savages.

The world must live in peace to pursue economic prosperity and development instead of being dragged into endless wars every day in every corner of the world. Yes, no need for useless and time wasting negotiation under false premises, when China is strong enough to deal with troublemakers with a big stick. There is no room nor space for troublemakers in a civilised and prosperous world. No room for warmongers and merchants of weapons of mass destruction as a business to get rich by killing and destruction under fake pretexts of democrazy, human rights or freedoms. The world needs real peace, real freedom, real democracy, real human rights for everyone to live well, with pride, dignity and respect.

Only a strong China, alone or in alliance with the rest of the world, can achieve this, to put an end to wars, destruction and bickering, threats and coercion. The warmongers and terrorists must be stopped for the good of humankind by force. That is the only language they know.
