USA and the West keep spinning lies of technological superiority. Oops, NASA is going to be sold to the junk yard

 The USA and the West can keep on pretending that China's weapons are no match for theirs. Foreigners can never understand Chinese mindsets, using theirs as the barometer. They are going to regret sooner or later, just like regretting taking their eyes off China for about 30 to 40 years and waking up to face a massive dilemma.

When China made fighter jets with wings, it was accused of copying the West. When China made vehicles with wheels, it was accused of copying the West. Whatever China made, it was always copying the West. Did the West copied anything from the Chinese I wonder?

China invented gunpowder that changed the landscape of war when the West used that to make guns and bombs. That was not copying? The Chinese invented paper, that was to revolutionize the landscape of education and books were written and printed en masse. The Chinese invented the compass that was to make navigation on the high seas a breeze and promote exploration.

China was never allowed access to the International Space Station but made its own Tiangong Space Station. Was that copying? China was never allowed to participate in research programs by the West and Japan on high tech and sensitive Western industrial monopolies, but China made its own rockets, jet engines, fighter jets, solar panels, wind turbines and EVs. If China is copying, how is it possible for China to be so advanced in telecommunication sector like 5G and leading in 6G? Oh, sorry the USA is now going into 7G to skip a generation and a half if they are on 5.5G now. The gap was so wide for them to catch up that they had to ban Huawei and forcing its doggies to do likewise.

USA ambition to rule the world is over

USA ambition to rule the world is over, with even the US$ losing global support. Countries sitting on the fence better calibrate their loyalties and figure out who is buttering their bread, are more reliable and benevolent to their needs.

As I always been thinking, this coming conflict or world war will be about the Anglo-Saxon Whites against the colored people of the world - the Asians, Africans, South Americans and Middle Easterners.

There is going to be an escalation of the war in Ukraine, with Zelenskyy making the biggest mistake of his life by targeting Russian planes inside Russia with drones. And yet Zelenskyy is talking about a truce which will now never happen. Putin will take revenge, and it will be ugly, and Trump could not talk Putin out of it or do anything. Which country or countries in NATO wanted that to happen is still unclear. It was reported that the attack was carried out with the drones sent stealthily into Russia and launched from close to the airfield, rather than being flown from Ukraine to deep inside Russia which would have been shot down. True or not is left to be revealed officially. The real scenario is left to be discovered after investigation and whether traitors are involved.

Clown Trump demands BRICS to cancel its non dollar trades

USA demands BRICS cancel its non-dollar trade. The word is 'demand' mind you. What a sick joke when BRICS was created solely for the purpose of de-dollarization. The USA can demand Japan, Germany or the G7 to follow its dictate, but BRICS is a different kettle of fish, being created by China and Russia, not the G7.

I still remember that the USA and some of its sycophants were touting loudly that BRICS de-dollarization move is a non-event, just a little irritant against the mighty US$, and that its de-dollarization agenda is stalling. Why is the USA now demanding that BRICS cancel its non-dollar trade? Is it really hurting the USA with its de-dollarization move, since it is not so successful and falling apart?

'I love it when the plan comes together' to quote John Hannibal Smith (played earlier by George Peppard) of the A team. So, BRICS's plan is really coming together, and it makes the USA nervous and desperate. Why not just rally the Anglo-Saxon White clique together to fight BRICS, which is the normal solution as happened with Huawei. But, alas, the USA is shooting its own foot by alienating even its Anglo-Saxon base, particularly the EU and expecting them to close ranks?

China does not make plans to fail. China makes long term plans that will evidently succeed, and de-dollarization using BRICS is one such plan. China makes plans with lots of background support, study and calibration, unlike the USA using tariffs to reshore manufacturing without any hint of preparedness and having no alternatives ready to put in place by shutting out Chinese products.

As I understand, the only big, beautiful and wonderful negotiation completed and reported so far is with the UK, that suffered the wrong end of the stick anyway. Who else is now negotiating? The penguins and seals that cannot deny being in the queue maybe, but certainly not China that has no qualms about putting the USA to shame by declaring about not being in negotiation with the USA despite all the gloating.

Now the USA is again waiting for the call from Xi, which is not coming after what the USA is doing to Chinese students studying in the USA, the further curbs by the USA on semiconductor software and the denial of further loans by USA entities to Chinese companies. Xi has all the time in the world to hold, while Trump has still a little more than three years to wait out his term for Xi's phone call.

China still unable to stand equal to the USA by its meek responses when hit by the Americans

  The Chinese foreign ministry has been making repeated calls for ages, asking the Americans to treat them as equals. Unfortunately, the Americans are still treating them as not equals, as inferior to the Americans, to be bullied by the Americans. And the Chinese deserved to be treated as a lesser power than the Americans. Caveat, the only thing the Chinese is doing right is for Xi to completely ignored Trump, not to talk to him despite his daily calls.

The Chinese still do not understand what is the meaning of being equals to the Americans and behaving every bit like a second rate power, to be pushed around and kicked around by the Americans. And the sad thing, the Chinese still do not know why the Americans feel so comfortable and superior to treat them as a wannabe superpower but not a superpower.

In the thinking of the Americans, everyone is not equal to them and they would treat them as such and behave as the big gangster to everyone, even to the Chinese. The Americans always brag that they would negotiate always from a position of strength, meaning they would carry a big stick when negotiating with any country and would clobber the other party to do what the Americans wanted them to do. The slamming of high and unreasonable tariffs on the world, on China with more than 124% was a good example. The Americans were slamming China and told China not to retaliate and Trump would be nicer to them. And if China were to retaliate, the Americans would hit them more until the Chinese surrender. And this was exactly what Trump did, 20%, 35%, 85%, 105%, 125%, 145%, and what did the Chinese do? OK, Trump finally backed down.

The Chinese retaliations, if they were retaliation at all, was to make incremental hikes but never to meet the Americans. While the Americans hit them with 145% the Chinese only dare to hit back at 125%. And the Chinese still crying and begging the Americans to treat them as equals. To the Americans, if they throw you a punch, or 10 punches, they expect you to hit back the same, one for one, 10 for 10. If China's reply is a lame 125% against a 145% from the Americans, the Chinese is as good as telling the Americans, we are not your equal and deserved to be whacked harder and afraid to hit back just as hard.

Do the Chinese get it? Unfortunately no. Until today, they still have no clue why the Americans are not treating them as equals. If the Chinese are afraid to stand as tall as the Americans, do not expect the Americans to treat them as equals. Do not try to justify why they only hit the Americans with 125% and not the same 145%. That is what Ah Q will do, and be treated as Ah Q by the Americans, not as equals.

Wake up China. You want the Americans to treat you as equals, you must behave and act as equals to the Americans. Don't turn the other cheek to be slapped when slapped by the Americans.  Tit for tat means tit for tat, nothing less. Is this so difficult to understand? Still crying and whining and wanting the Americans to treat China as equals but behaving like a second rate power, afraid to hit the Americans just as hard and always reply with a few scratches? Every time the Chinese Foreign Ministry begs the Americans to treat them as equal, it is as good as admitting that they are inferior to the Americans. You don't beg to be treated as equal. You behave and act as equal to be equal. There is no other way.

The Americans would never treat the Chinese as equals if the Chinese do not respect themselves as equals.  Even the Mickey Mouse are sneering at the Chinese, especially the Pinoys, Japanese and 'has been' Europe powers. They do not respect China as a superpower and will continue to irritate and provoke China, even threatening China, wanting to form gangs to fight China. No one respect paper tigers in international politics.

China is only an equal to the Americans when it carries as big a stick and is not afraid to use it. It must start using it, to slam on the heads of Mickey Mouse to make a point. Until this happens, the Americans would never treat the Chinese as equals. Begging the Americans to be treated as equals is foolish, is meek. The Mickey Mouse too would keep on scratching at China. When China is equal to the Americans, there is no need to say anything, no need to beg for it. Actions speak louder than words.

Latest, China crumbled and Xi took the call from Trump. Trump is now bragging about being invited to visit Beijing after bashing China. Would Xi invite Trump to China after receiving hundreds of blows from Trump? Xi is metaphorically walking around with bruises and scars all over his body. Trump started the cold war, sanctions, tariffs, trade wars, attack China everyday, everywhere, and Pete Hegseth even declared war on China, calling all Asian and Asean states to stop China from reunification with Taiwan.

Inviting Trump to China without Trump pulling back all the attacks is a sign of defeat, that Trump has won, after bashing China all over, Xi still has to invite the rogue enemy to be feasted in Beijing, to flatter him in front of the Chinese people and the world. Such an act would seal China's fate as the loser, the lesser partner to America. China can forget about being treated as equal to the USA.

Poor Bessant, turning himself into a clown every time he opens his mouth

What Trump's tariffs is doing is already a blatant move to curtail world trade on purpose, pure and simple, yet Scott Bessant is accusing China of attempting to do that by stopping its export of rare earth, mainly to the USA. Does Scott Bessant care to look into the mirror before throwing stones from his glass tower? Perhaps he is afraid to look at his almost crying stance in the mirror when lying about how to deal with China.

China has to look after its own interest first, by reserving all the rare earth elements for itself rather than selling it to enemies for making weapons to target and destroy China. Isn't that a logical answer? If the USA can demonize everything made in China as a threat to its National Security, why is China not in a position to protect its National Security as well? The USA is no longer at liberty to dictate to whoever it wants to, and China is not one to be dictated to going forward.

From observation, we can tell that the USA is critically short of rare earth elements, even having to siphon off supplies under the radar, thinking that China will continue to play the dumb guy not knowing what is happening. China is watching the USA very closely and knows where its weakness and strengths lie and always calculating its response to elicit the most damage. During Trump's first term, agriculture took center stage in China's retaliation.

This time around it will be rare earth elements. Who holds the upper hand in semiconductor war is still unclear. The chicken that lays the egg or the egg that is to hatch into the chicken, or to put it in another way who controls rare earth and who is preventing the cutting-edge tech that depends on rare earth, from falling into the other's hand.
