Huawei under sanctioned now deploying 6G. America still struggling with 4G faking as 5G

Remember that the USA Government itself is investing big in those big tech giants, which means its influence over them is more evident than hearsay. Yet the USA Government had the audacity to talk about Chinese companies having ties to the CCP, when big USA companies are even partly owned by the USA Government. The ties to the USA Government make sure that these big tech giants can have all the monetary support from the USA Government, just like today where the Government changed the rules for their IPOs by fast tracking their entry into Nasdaq.

We do remember that Huawei was sanctioned for the exact same reason of having ties to the Chinese Government. In reality, Huawei is largely owned by its employees holding its shares. Huawei was banned not for having ties to the Chinese Government. Huawei was banned for taking businesses away from other big Western telecommunication giants like Nokia and Erickson. Moreover, with Huawei's 5G setup, the USA Government was unable to utilize Huawei for its spying activities. This would be detrimental for the USA and Europeans.

Downing of Apache helicopter. Iranian missile marked Shahed, Made in Iran, landed on the lap of the chopper pilot without exploding

The downing of the Apache helicopter in the Strait of Hormuz is starting to be questioned. Iran is saying it was not responsible, while Trump is using this as an excuse to attack Iran once again. Was it a false flag? The USA was reported to have reverse-engineered and cloned the Shahed Drone that took down the helicopter.

There is a very interesting spin about the whole affair, with Trump speaking to someone and claiming that the Iranian Shahed Drone landed right in the cockpit area between the two pilots of the Apache helicopter, did not explode, and the two pilots were said to have escaped without any injury. A very interesting story now ought to be classified as another 'miracle on 34th Street'.

What is even more audacious is that the helicopter itself did not explode or disintegrate after being hit, even if the Shahed Drone failed to detonate. Is this even possible, I do not know, or just another miracle.

The lies generated by the USA are just impossible to believe. When they bombed the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, they claimed they used an outdated map. An outdated map used by the world's most advanced military? Believe it or not is up to you.

Hedging on that incident, some people are saying that the USA also used an outdated map to bomb a girl's school, converted from an army camp earlier. That says a lot about the fact checking mantra we are hearing every day. How could a world-class military not do some fact checking about that girl's school is mind boggling. But the USA will get away with the mass murder, with the UN, ICC and human rights group closing their eyes to the whole affair. Any country doing that and the doggies will bark and howl day and night about war crimes and the ICC will be shouting the loudest.

Grow your own trees from the seeds up

 This concept seems very ancient in Singapore today. What is the point of wasting time and resources when talents are available from the rest of the world, fully trained and paid for and ready to work? This makes a lot of sense in its own ways, very cost effective, and the talents are there just in time when needed.

In the 60s and 70s, in the days of LKY and GKS, planting your own seeds and grow them, turn them into trees to bear fruits were an important policies for the nation builders. There is nothing like your own citizens to depend on, trained and grew over the years, tested and proven, to run the country. Many of the Pioneer and Merdeka generations benefited from this policy. Many were fresh graduates, many were non graduates, without real skills and experience to fill many jobs that needed to be filled. Many grew in the job, some failed, but the net result is a bunch of dedicated leaders in different fields, in the govt and ministries, to turn Singapore into a well managed, organised, discipline and rich city states.

In those days, many local corporations and ministries have executive training programmes, management trainees, taking in fresh graduates to train them from scratch to become the next generations of leaders. The system worked well then, Many of the top executives, ministers, civil servants were the beneficiaries of this system. But they have forgotten how they arrived where they are today. The scheme was quietly abandoned. Now every donkey will bray, foreign talents best, bring in more foreign talents. Without those schemes in the past, these donkeys would not have a chance to be where they are today. The foreign talents will filled their positions.

Today, the fast pace of change and the availability of easy foreign talents, all cooked and baked, to be consumed, makes such policies irrelevant and unnecessary. Today, when nation building is no longer important other than lip service, anyone will do as long as he can do the jobs and looks good for the job, locals or foreigners do not matter.  Foreigners can be given the pink IC and turned into citizen with the stroke of a pen and be completely trusted with everything, with the most sensitive positions and information.

The priorities today are very different from the past. Today, citizenship, loyalty, trust, reliability do not have the same value and importance. A hotel does not need real and loyal citizens. Instant noodle is convenient and equally good. Why bother with the tedious and expensive process of training and grooming our own young citizens to be useful and productive over a longer period,... and also very costly? Just a call to the recruitment agency, there will be thousands of foreign talents available, so many to pick and choose. Chiat beh leow!

There is no need to plant your own seeds, water them, nourish them and wait for them to grow and to bear fruits in the long term. Too tedious, not cost effective. Instant tree, instant talents, instant citizens is the way to go.

India in BRICS and the BRI - a blessing or a woe?

 China was not particularly keen to have India in BRICS for obvious reasons. India was brought in by Putin at a time when Russia India were very closed, and Russia not really that closed to China, to have a bigger leverage over China in BRICS. What Putin did not anticipated was India's closeness with the Americans, India's anti China position, and how Russia and China grew so close because of American hostility.

The leverage of India in BRICS over China was not necessary now as Russia and China share more common interests than differences. Putin does not need India to challenge or overrule China in BRICS. Both Russia and China share a common vision and goals for BRICS. The supposedly leverage of India actually turned out to be a liability in BRICS, an obstacle that is dragging BRICS agenda and also a Trojan Horse peddling American interests against BRICS. 

India's presence is increasingly becoming a pain in BRICS, a spoiler. India thinks it is a super power when it is not, but wanted to behave and speak like a super power and would oppose whenever it can to show that it has a big say in BRICS. India does not fit in the matrix of BRICS and is best to be left out. But this is going to be tough to get rid of India. Hopefully, with Trump now going all out against anything India, the consecutive four attacks on India crew ships and killing more than 3 Indian sailors, will end the India fetish love for Americans.

In the case of the BRI, India was a welcomed partner. The Chinese BRI plan includes India as a big player with roads and rails traversing across India into the Indian Ocean. Fortunately for China, India refused to join BRI. This is a great blessing for China and BRI. The arrogant and confrontational behaviour of India, opposing China at all cost, is obvious in BRICS. China will have endless problems with India if India were to be in the BRI and with a network of roads and rails passing through India. China will not have peace with India just like BRICS.

Thank God that India voluntarily opt out of the BRI. China must never entertain the thought of reinviting India into the BRI. Let India go ahead with its great plans of an alternative BRI with the Americans and the Europeans. India's absence in the BRI is the greatest blessing for China, without a spoiler everyday trying to through a spanner in everything China wants to do. RCEP must also be thankful that India refused to join or it would have untold problems with India and ended nothing will move. China must learn from this mistake, never, never include India in any of its development plans if it wants to move forward smoothly and efficiently. India is cancer! India must also be got rid of in SCO.

Lunatic Trump on a path to found new countries, like the colonial past of European invaders

Trump attempted to 'found' Iran, but the natives told him to 'get lost', unlike the Native American Indians that have no weapons to take care of the Whites wanting to take over their land.

Now, we are seeing Trump attempting to take over other White people's land and facing hurdles from equally like-minded robbers and thieves. Trump wanted to make Canada into the 51st state of the USA. Canadians told him to find a spider. Trump tried to start a mission to take over Greenland, and the Danes, the owners of Greenland, told him to take a hike. I believe Greenland was also seized territory from the Inuit, the early settlers, by the Vikings of Europe.

Elsewhere throughout history, the Whites also attempted to 'found' China, a civilization that existed even before some of them were born or learned to behave like humans. So many attempts were made to 'found' China, which all failed. The Natives of China made sure of that by fighting back over many centuries.

Smaller and less progressive countries were all founded by the Whites. The people who lived there were not counted as people who owned the land. This is daylight robbery on a global scale. They came, they saw and they just took. No questions asked.
