China recruiting real talents, others recruiting fake talents

 Real talents are prized items, great assets of countries to thrive in the new world of high technology. Countries are all competing for top real talents from the world to help them move forward in a world that is very different from the last century. Many countries have talent search programmes, recruiting foreign talents from all over the world. Some countries recruit real talents, some recruit fake talents, some recruit conmen and frauds as talents. 

The consequences and real results will show over the years. China has 1.4 billion people, producing millions of STEM talents for themselves and the world. This is not enough. China not only wants top talents from the world, China is laying out the red carpet for Chinese talents overseas, especially in America, to return to help the Motherland to compete with America and the world in the race to the future. China is not just attracting them back by telling them the Motherland needs them. This worked in the past, and still works now but not good enough. China is offering a package as much as US$800,000 for relocation back to the Motherland. The package varies but mostly offered to semiconductor and chip engineers. China needs all the top talents they can get in a very competitive and unforgiving war with the Americans and every talent recruited is a talent gained.

American clowns in Washington is also helping China to push all the top Chinese talents back to China. Their anti China racist policies are frightening the Chinese engineers and scientists, that their safety is at risk, their future no longer that bright, being targeted for fake criminal and espionage charges. The environment in America is now very toxic for Chinese engineers and scientists...and also for other foreign talents, especially real and fake talents from India.

For sure China will not be offering anything for fake talents and frauds. These fake talents and frauds will be left to stupid and gullible countries to grab to replace their no talent population. Chinese criteria and selection process are very stringent and meticulous. The process of hunting for top talents requires real talents to spot them. If the recruiters are frauds and fake talents, what they recruited will also be frauds and fake talents. And these comes in hoards, whole village of them will come along as fake and fraud talents that the gullible will not be able to tell the difference.

The speed of scientific and technological progress in China speak for themselves. The number of published scientific and engineering papers, the creativity and innovations in China are for all to see. For countries that go after fake talents and frauds, their progress cannot lie. Fake talents and frauds cannot produce the real stuff, real innovations and inventions to commercialise and put them into the market.

The success of China's talent hunting and recruitment will propel China to the front of the pack in this very competitive world and to turn China into a world leader in science, engineering and technology. Those that end up with fake talents and frauds will pretend to be doing well in their own fictional world and be left behind in the long term. Elon Musk knows what hiring fake talents meant. Boeing is paying heavily for hiring fake talents and risking bankruptcy.

Dear Leader Trump's immortality will last for as long as he is POTUS

At home, Trump is attempting to 'found' all the USA places of interest. The Kennedy Center was founded by him with his name placed above that of Kennedy for better effect. But that is now unravelling, but not too sure about the attempt to take his name down, as it is all covered up behind a screen for the time being. Trump is trying to cut off funding for those places not giving him the privilege of placing his name above others. I think other dictators pale in comparison to Trump.

What Trump cannot put his name on places he wanted to 'found', he demolished them, like the Rose Garden at the White House to rebuild it into a Trump Ballroom. Looks like a golden ballroom, with facilities for drones to do what I do not know. Only he knows in his warped mind.

There are other more sick jokes like building warships and calling them 'Trump Class of Warships'. Beyond all that, Trump has put his name on cryptos and trying to con people with million-dollar golden visas (with only one sold, lol)

Oh, not to forget, Trump is going to put his ugly face on a US$250 USA currency note to be issued. I think people would not want to piss on it as it is too expensive, unlike a US$2 note.

Immortality is not what one man thinks of himself. It is what others think of him, and I think Trump is not even close enough to be honored as such. The USA used to laugh at the same antics happening in North Korea of indulging in self-immortalization. I think Kim Jong Un, Putin and Xi are having their last laugh. As they say, who laughs last laughs best.

”Is it true that Singapore has no serious problems?”

 镇龙大叔 (aka Uncle Chua Chin Ling/ Redbean)：”Is it true that Singapore has no serious problems?”

镇龙大叔，你好！

你问： ”新加坡是不是没什么严重（或”大条”）的问题？”

说实话，还真有（而且很”大条”）！

Earlier this year in parliament, DPM GKY spoke about Sg facing an "existential problem" ...

TFR (2025) PLUMMETED to 0.87!

In 2013, our beloved founding PM LKY（国父李光耀）published his last book (One Man's View of the World). In the Singapore chapter, founding PM LKY lamented that our Singaporean core will be halved in one generation if our TFR remains unchanged (in 2013, Sg's TFR was about 1.21). At that time PM3 was in charge (and his "personal TFR" was 4.0) holding helm for almost 21 years in all (Aug 2004 - May 2024).

PM4 now in his 3rd year is facing an existential Sg threat of 0.87 TFR ... (NOT sure what is PM4's "personal TFR", anybody knows?) ...

Have you ever wonder assuming PM4 serves as long as PM3 at the top, by 2043, what would Sg's TFR be?

If this problem is NOT serious ("事情大条”），what is?

RB, you tell me lah!

When is Singapore going to upgrade and use AI to save hawking business and food recipe?

 The quality of the hawker centres and food courts has been given a leg up with graduates joining the business, like graduates driving grabs for a living. This is upgrading from the quality of the labour being injected into the trade. So far, other than a few optics on such a trend changing event, the focus is on the quality of food preparation and maybe presentation. But how much can be changed other than having food prepared by graduates or served by graduates? The tertiary education may help in food hygiene perhaps.

What can graduates bring into this traditional trade that illiterate grandpa and grandma can do and even do better? Cashless payments using apps in mobile phones like restaurants may look cool and chic. Expanding into home delivery using apps and delivery services could add another dimension to the business. What really may be game changing is AI and robotics. How about that? Getting robots to do the cooking and serving? China is already having these, with robotic coffee maker. To go further and deeper, let the AI to start evaluating the food preparation, food quality. Health value may be another way to go. Oops, AI and robotics may replace the human labour in the trade, top most and most convenient will be table cleaners and dishwashers.

The professionals in the business would have many better ideas on how to adapt AI and robotics to upgrade the hawking business and take it to the next level. All hawker centres and food courts will be run and served by AI machines, food vending machines and robotics, and the graduates can stay behind the curtain to manage the change, the apps and machine learning.

Traditional business and trade are cute and emotional to be preserved for posterity. But to remain viable in the future when the returns have to be good enough to retain graduates, when more than 50% of the population will be graduates, and to compete with foreign talents, hawking and food business need to do more than what it is doing now to survive. Instead of Michelin Stars, have stalls hanging up graduate degrees and diplomas. Otherwise, other than a few graduates to keep some freshness in the trade, it will eventually be taken over by cheaper and more hardworking foreigners.

Just some fanciful musing.

Operation Kill Iranians - Iran is winning by doing nothing, just bleed the American regime dry by keeping the Americans in the quicksand

 The Operation to kill Iranians, to cripple the economies of the Arab and Muslim states will go on and on. These are the objectives of Netanyahu and Trump. Both need the war to go on forever. The crippling of the Arab and Muslim states would take some time to take effect. Anyone believing that the Jews and the American terrorists want to end the war must have his head checked. Prolonging the war is good and necessary for the survival and to stay in power for Trump and Netanyahu The Jews are all for it. The empty head hillbillies and rednecks are also for it. But the ignorant and uninvolved American masses may not be for it but could not do anything about it. They cannot remove Trump and his clowns nor the traitors in Washington that have been bought over by the Israelis and working for the interests of the Israelis.

Keeping the war going seems the goal of Netanyahu and Trump. The thing is how long can they do so without the American people rebelling and marching in the streets like the dying days of the Vietnam War? Trump is still controlling all the news to prevent the American public from knowing the true damage from this war. He keeps saying we are winning, but not telling the Americans how many American boys and girls have been killed and had returned home in body bags. He is not telling the Americans how much it is costing America for each day the war is on. The American Treasury is bleeding. The numbers and euphoria in Wall Street are fake and can pop any time. The real American economy is collapsing everyday.

Iran should just hold on, while getting the full support from its allies, China, Russia, North Korea and the Arab and Muslim states, quietly and covertly of course. All the Arab and Muslim states, with a few exceptions, are behind Iran. The cost for prolonging this war, sitting on home ground, is relatively low compares to the cost to the Americans and Israelis. For sitting under the desert sun or under the tropical heat in the oceans, the American boys and girls are literally being cooked and barbequed alive. And the logistics and supply chains to keep them happy are enormous. US$1b or US$2b a day is going to bleed the American dry in no time. How long can the Americans keep printing money before they run out of ink and paper?

The Iranians have friends with deep pockets to keep them going, with food and weapons. Who is supporting the American and Israeli terrorists? The Europeans have abandoned them. They are on their own. The tiny Israeli economy is cooked. How many more days or months can the Americans and Israelis hold on to this war? China and Russia alone have enough to keep feeding the Iranians for as long as it needs, for what it takes. Iran has the world's factory and the world's biggest agriculture power house behind it.

Turn this into another Vietnam without American forces on the ground, but still bleeding the American and Israeli resources. They cannot tolerate hardship and deprivation for long. Time is on Iran's side. The 80 year old limpy dick may fall off anytime.
