China deserves Nobel Peace Prize for controlling rare earth to stop weapon manufacturing by rogue America

China has realistically done a great favor for much of the world by its rare earth control for making weapons. This move should be worthy of consideration and the actual criteria needed for a Nobel Peace Prize as what Alfred Nobel had intended - the prevention of conflict and destruction. But that is a fat hope knowing the control exerted by the USA and the West over all the world bodies. I said 'much of the world' which excludes the Anglo-Saxon White clique that are upset by China's move. They are demonizing China by making a mountain out of a molehill by dragging every country in the world to leverage upon their support in its argument that China is hostile towards everybody.

China is still exporting rare earth to other countries for genuine manufacturing needs other than making weapons but is controlling it to prevent countries reselling rare earth to the USA and its allies. There were countries that already did that before - South Korea and India, which resulted in the further controls being necessary.

It appears that the USA is realistically hampered by the lack of rare earth elements to make more weapons. That move of 20,000 defensive missiles from Ukraine to Israel during the war with Iran proves the point. Trump said earlier that he was not averse to sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Today he changed his decision. Is this move anything to do with the dire lack of rare earth elements? What transpired must have something to do with the inability to make more of such weapons, so Trump is papering it over by saying he does not want to escalate the war in Ukraine. It is a perfect excuse if you just look on the surface. Furthermore, Putin also said that the sending of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine will not change the outcome of the war.

Trump behaving like a frantic poodle seeking attention from its master

 How many times have Trump been talking about meeting Xi and all turned out to be empty talks? On the other hand, Xi completely ignored Trump by not saying a word about any meeting or phone call. Xi is letting this poodle scurrying around begging for attention that it would not get. And yes, the poodle is panicking, barking in every corner, scratching, biting, peeing everywhere for attention.

Trump has been yelling and screaming, thumping his chest, more tariffs, 500%, 1000%, twisting the arms of American cronies to attack China and Chinese companies. The latest, the Dutch was ordered to seize Chinese company Nexperia and now receiving a hard backlash that it wished it had not done so under Trump's coercion.

All the madness and desperate moves by Trump to pressure for a meeting with Xi will not go unnoticed. Such gangster and hooligan tactics will not work in dealings with Xi or China. Xi will treat it as the behaviour of a drunken hooligan. Trump still does not know that China would not move a wee bit because of his silly pressure tactics. The more he raised the stake, the more he attacked China, the further is his dream of meeting Xi. 

Xi would not have time to want to meet a hooligan acting like a gangster chief. Civilised and dignified Xi would not meet up with unruly thugs. Period. 

Trump now claiming that he is going to meet Xi in Seoul and then being invited to Beijing in early 2026. All this is one sided outpouring of affection like a rejected lover. And in the same breath Trump is also saying that the meeting might not take place, and he might not be invited to Beijing. He puts it that he wants to meet Xi and he did not want to meet Xi when the truth is that Xi does not want to meet him or talk to him. Xi has in a way blacklisted Trump as a nobody, a crazy hooligan craving for attention.

The last thing that Xi would want to do is to invite a gangster to Beijing and to waste time feasting him in the Great Hall of the People and putting a rogue in Zhongnanhai resort, an exclusive privilege reserved for esteem leaders and friends of China. Why would Xi want to offer such privilege to a hooligan that has declared war on China and attacking China everywhere, everyday?

Xi would not only not invite Trump to Beijing, but it is also unlikely that Xi would even want to meet him in Seoul. What rubbish is Trump going to discuss with Xi? Taiwan is China's domestic affairs, no need to talk about. If America wants to interfere with Taiwan, sell weapons to Taiwan, support independence of Taiwan, then meet at the battlefield. Talking about Taiwan is only an excuse for the Americans to irritate China. China has nothing to gain from talking about Taiwan. As for fentanyl, this is America's own problem. Do not use it as a punching bag against China. It is none of China's business and there is nothing to talk about. 

As for soya beans, the war is started by the Americans. Withdraw all the sanctions and tariffs first before any meaningful talk can start. Why would Xi want to talk to Trump just to ask Trump to pull back his hundreds of sanctions and tariffs against China just to go back to square one? Trump must unilaterally cancel, withdraw all this attacks against China before Xi would want to meet him. Trump's reckless and callous directives and behaviours would not be tolerated by Xi. Crazy Trump still thinks he can coerce and bully Xi into meeting him. Xi has no reason to entertain a scum calling himself a president. Trump is a rogue, a gangster, a bully, not a serious stateman. The further Xi is from this pariah, the better for Xi.

Virgo's morning bread for Oct

That's why must strike whilst the opportunity is still there.

Now no more SERs as they had fine tuned NOT to have those selected ones strikes lotteries with new flats a 99 year lease and also compensations.

Later many of them after the MOP sell them again for a profit

Some more many old old flats in future needed to be rebuilt as not so manageable and also some prime sites for other developments so they don't want to repeat and cough out same benefits again as not substantiable for them.

So now with their VERs selected Estates or Blocks now be relocated with new terms of NO more a 99 year lease hold.

Have to top up the lease if you wanted to have another fresh 99 year which young families might willing to do so as they knew that these Blocks or Estates or for VERs they could purchase them in order to get the new ones.

Now also bargain price of paying only the balance minimal years of tail end lease.

If the next estate that are favourable to them then they shall vote so to enable to get one faster than the BTOs ones which may be not their reach the next five years as due to the balloting.

The Older Residents may
vote "NO" if the compensation is not favourable enough or may be override by those who are agreeable in the majority has no choice but to shift and lived out their balance lease hold.

Some compensations for the relocation that all.

So now the best Solution is this before as what's you said many old flats be redundant and in glut.

Those woth bigger units of flats of 4 to 5 roomed with still balance about three quarters of half their balance lease could now dispose them off by purchasing a best two roomed Flexi unit of 20, 25 or 30 years leasehold.

Depending on your age of application. Minimum must be up to 95 years old.

Just paid 100 or less for the unit.

Sold your bigger unit and then stopped your compound accrued interests.

Also after toppling up their requirements of CPF'S Life if not fully FRS fully top up and also Medisave still have a chunk of balance cash for as security.

Also topped up the RA and CPF'S Life also have more monies to your monthly pay up.

On top of that can get SHB Silver Housing Bonus of up to 40K after Dec 2025.

This grant is for those who at aged 55 did not fully top up their FRS and deemed to have less monies in the accounts to be subsidised by the HDB.

So think this the best way to downgrade and the best Security.

The children then don't have to dispose off your other unit as the HDB shall give them the balance available monies if available.

The unit shall be repossessed by the HDB

Cheers

USA needs to pray for themselves to survive instead of praying for China to collapse

The USA honestly need to pray for themselves to survive instead of praying for China to collapse. Oh yes, since Gordon Chang wrote his nonsense, the USA has been praying very hard for China to collapse, but sad to say, twenty-five years is a long time for prayers that have yet to be answered.

Ford Motors CEO, Tim Farley, went to China and visited Chinese car manufacturers and returned stunned. 'It was the most humbling thing I've ever seen' he said. And he added - 'They have far superior in-vehicle technology' in his conclusion. While anti-China trolls keep denigrating Chinese EVs, it is a real eye opener that comes from one inside the business of making cars that really matters.

Elon Musk was making fun of Chinese EVs in the early years. Now who has the last laugh? Now, a source reported that Ferrari is also laughing at Chinese cars, but we know the nervousness hidden in that laughter. Remember, it is not the person who laugh first who has all the fun. It is always who laugh last that laughs best.

Recently, a group of venture capitalist from the West also visited China. They went, they saw and returned home realizing that what they invested in are going to be dead ducks further down the road and have to be recalibrated. In other words, they need to find new sources for investing their money, not in what they have already invested in.

As most people posted on social media, you have to visit China to see the real thing, not what is reported in the MSM and using that to demonize China.

USA's spin against China when terrorist Trump is attacking the whole world

The USA is trying to spin the narrative that China is against the whole world with the further sanctions of more rare earth metals. How about also framing Trump's tariff as against the whole world, which realistically is the case. And those tariffs are not just against humans. Even penguins are not spared. The problem is USA leaders never look at themselves in the mirror before they opened their mouths.

How many small countries really have a need for large amounts of rare earth elements when they have no manufacturing to speak of. Countries like those in the Himalayas, countries reliant largely on agriculture, countries inhabited by polar bears and penguins.

The world would rather China keep rare earth metals from falling into the hands of rogue and terrorist states like the USA so that they cannot keep producing weapons to target every Tom, Dick and Harry. Why would China even want to help the USA with rare earth metals for them to make more weapons, when their sole intention was to use them to destroy China? Who in his right mind would do that?
