Lebanon is the next Gaza, day by day, piece by piece, under the white men's rules based order

BEIRUT: An Israeli strike on the southern Lebanese town of Saksakiyeh killed at least seven people, including a child, and wounded 15 on Saturday (May 9), Lebanon's health ministry said.

The Israeli military said it had struck Hezbollah militants in the town, accusing them of planning attacks against Israeli soldiers.  CNA

Anyone hoping that the Israelis would stop killing Arabs and Muslims, and Iranians, must soak his head in the toilet bowl for a good wash. Netanyahu just announced that the war is not over. The arrogant Israeli terrorists are very clear in what they want...kill the Arabs and Muslims and takeover their lands.

Poor Palestinians are about to be wiped out, being neglected and rejected by the whole world with no one to turn to except the Hezbollah, Hamas and Houthis, and Iran. Every Palestinian in Gaza and the West Bank are waiting to be terminated, and it would not be long. UN and other international agencies are too busy with the superficial things that would not annoy the Americans and the Israelis. 

Now the Israelis are turning fully at Lebanon, to repeat what they had done in Gaza. And similarly, the Lebanese are being bombed and killed daily. Did anyone in the kind and compassionate West bothers to say anything? Did the American terrorists, the champion of human rights and protection of the weak Muslims bother to say anything, do anything? Did any country bother to open their big mouth to speak for the Lebanese or to condemn the genocide happening in Lebanon?

The bottom line, who cares? If the murderers are the American and Israeli terrorists, who dares to speak out to offend their masters? Even the Arabs and Muslims are too busy cozying up to the Americans and the Israelis. Where got time for their brothers and sisters in Gaza, Palestine and Lebanon. The Palestinians and Lebanese should be thankful that the Arab and Muslim states did not join the American and Israeli terrorists in the genocide. UAE is starting to join the American and Israeli terrorists to kill Iranians.

What happens to democrazy, human rights, protection of Muslim minorities....?

Venezuela is a good example of traitors selling out their country

 Venezuela's interim Government had already given the country to the USA on a platter by betraying Maduro and I am hardly surprised. The interim Government of Venezuela can try to put on a good show, but I am not convinced and I am sure many others too. When traitors are conniving with the enemy, it is very difficult to do anything. The saying that it is more difficult to counter a thief in the house than one from the outside is absolutely true!

Xi had been very astute in getting rid of those he could not trust and who can blame him for being too careful. We know that white ants are not ants but termites hiding among the woodwork and can take down the whole country if they are allowed to destroy the foundation. You cannot see them openly, hidden from sight, but they are doing very destructive work that you are not even aware of. Oh yes, the USA and the West will chant that the Chinese Communist Party is very cruel and wicked for not allowing the termites to destroy the country. And the doggies will follow up by singing the chorus.

I am beginning to think that George Orwell, who wrote Animal Farm, to use satire to vaguely criticize the Soviet Union's communist regime, did not foresee that what is happening with democratic USA is the exact mirror of what he tried to tell us about the Soviets. The Ruling Elites (The Pigs) in the so-called Democratic Government of USA had been brainwashing the population (the other animals) by chanting the twisted propaganda - two legs bad (represented by China) and four legs good (representing the USA) and the people had been totally brainwashed into believing in the propaganda.

Thankfully, some USA people, living in, working in and travelling to China have managed to destroy the propaganda of the USA and the world can now see the hypocrisy of the USA, after having taken off their tinted lenses and discarded their prevalent view of China.

So easy to increase trade between China and the USA. Just remove all the bans, tariffs and sanctions

 The USA has practically been written off from the business circle of the Chinese, who are now more interested in the visit of other leaders whom they can expand their export base. China's trade with African is booming, with China having given all African countries, save for one, zero tariff entry into China.

Why talk to USA business leaders when Trump is trying to cut them off from doing business with the Chinese and vice versa, with all the sanctions lists being floated? Moreover, doing business with USA entities is now like a revolving door trade policy, with new sanctions added depending on the mood and whims and fancies of Trump.

China must not even think of investing in the USA now and risk losing its pants. The USA debt conundrum is unsolvable and the printing of toilet papers to keep the US$ hegemony in ICU is not going to go on forever without the US$ being consigned to its main use in the toilet.

Sorry Jensen Huang, Nvidia is cooked for good. So are the other chip manufacturers

 Actually lunatic Trump should be the one saying sorry to Jensen Huang and Nvidia for ending its good run to make more money from China. Nvidia is as good as PNG in China, Persona Non Grata.  Its business with China has grinded to zero. The best chip maker, with the most advanced chips that every country wants, cannot sell a single chip to China, its former biggest customer. Billion dollars of profits just vanished from thin air. Nvidia is now faced with over capacity and an over flowing warehouse of H200 chips begging for customers.

And which joker to blame? No prizes for guessing right. China would be very happy to buy as many H200 chips as it could afford and Nvidia would be laughing to the banks. This is the cruelest joke lunatic Trump pulled on Nvidia. And Nvidia will not only report on lower profits, but may have to scale down production with retrenchment, and many high earning Americans will lose their jobs.

Clown Trump thinks he can switch on and switch off the sale of high end chips to China depending on whether he wets his diapers the right side or wrong side. China now has many serious questions and concerns about using Nvidia chips. Reliability of supplies, vicious kill switches or bugs embedded in the chips are serious issues that China cannot risk. The stakes are too high and pervasive. And why pay overpriced chips just because Trump added a 15% to the price for himself?

The bigger strategic decision, China needs to be totally independent and self sufficient in its own chip infrastructure, cannot be held hostage by the American manufacturers. The decision has been made, no more foreign chips. China will make and control its own chips that span across all industries and products and services, completely free from American control and coercion. Period.

Jensen Huang can kiss the Chinese market goodbye. He may want to start a joint manufacturing plant in China with Chinese participation, transparency, equity and control in the future. China will be fully decoupled from the Americans when chips are concerned.

Trump does not care a wee bit or would have sleepless night on the fate of Nvidia and its employees. He will continue to clown around and amuse himself as long as he is in the White House. China will not care who will be the next POTUS as it would not change anything. The hillbillies are hillbillies. 

The damage to Nvidia and the chip manufacturing industries is as widespread and long lasting as the weaponising of the dollar. Trust is gone and will never return. The Washington clowns are really good in bringing down America in double quick time.

US China relations - going forward is easy if leaders are sensible adults

BEIJING: A Sino-US relationship based on “constructive strategic stability” - that was the new phrase introduced by Chinese President Xi Jinping on the first day of his high-stakes summit with United States counterpart Donald Trump.

During their meeting on Thursday (May 14) at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, Xi said he and Trump agreed to make such a relationship the “new positioning” of bilateral ties, according to the Chinese readout.

Centred on cooperation as the mainstay, measured competition, manageable differences and “lasting stability” where peace can be expected, this formulation would guide China-US ties for the next three years and beyond, the Chinese supremo added. CNA

Trump's trip to China is like sabbatical, away from his savage world of wars, destruction and mass murders. It is a good respite from his insane world of killing innocent people, stuck in his insanity devoid of human conscience and compassion. The calm and civilised atmosphere in Beijing, in the Great Hall of the People may bring some senses to lunatic Trump, that the world does not need more wars, killing and destruction. Sitting down together for dinner is better and more rewarding than chest thumping and tearing off the shirt and snarling like gangsters.

Xi, in his quiet and composed manner, is trying to bring some sense to Trump and his savages, telling him that both can compete peacefully without going to war, to self destruct. The message is simple and clear. Trade and free competition without war and destruction will benefit both countries and the world. And it cost nothing, just some small change for good food and good wine. It costs much less than a Tomahawk cruise missile to make 200 people happy and have a good time.

And this was exactly what Trump was doing in China, bringing in his top CEOs, not for war, but for more trade and economic cooperation that would benefit both sides. It would be completely meaningless and a waste of time, if after leaving China, Trump and his clowns would return to their savagery to attack China all over again. It must have dawned on Trump that his trade wars,, tariffs and sanctions, are killing the American economy, hurting the American people, killing his giant corporations, the biggest victim is Nvidia, with the best and most expensive chips but no buyer or not enough buyers because of the silly policy of not wanting to sell to China. Boeing is also gravely affected. 

Now Trump is bringing Nvidia, Boeing and more than 15 top American companies to China, to sell to China, to ask China to buy from them. This makes a mockery of all the trade wars, tariffs and sanctions against China. Trump is calling for a reset, back to first base, more trade. And this is also the message that Xi is sending to Trump.

The Americans want to buy and sell to China to profit from trade. China also wants to buy and sell to America to profit from trade. Both parties buy and sell what is beneficial to them, not what they do not want to buy or sell. Free trade is the way to go and both can prosper from trade. It is basic economics 101.

What have the Americans gained from all the trade wars against China and the world? What have the Americans gained from the hot wars in Ukraine and the Middle East? Nothing. War is no longer a profitable business, especially fighting a war that cannot win or a losing war. War is draining away all the resources from real manufacturing of goods and services.

Would Trump learn anything from his trip to Beijing and return to sanity? This trip is a silent admission that his trade war has failed, lost. America now needs China badly to revive its economy and big corporations from going bust.
