Desperate Americans resorting to antique laws
In its repeated demonizing of China and bullying of China, the Americans
have run out of ideas and reasons to oppress and obstruct Chinese
exports and trade with the Americans and the Americans have dug into the
dark dungeons to bring out a defunct 1974 Trade Act to use against
China. Section 301 of this Act ‘allows the president to unilaterally
impose tariffs or other restrictions to protect US industries from
“unfair trade practices” of foreign countries, such as trade agreement
violations or “discriminatory” actions that burdens US commerce.’
So what else would the Americans pull out next, what about the Chinese Exclusion Act of the 1882? I think this Act will surely work since it was so effective in the past. And Trump and his administration should go further and go back to past practices of their grandfathers. With the glorious reputation of being the head of a Ku Klux Klan, Trump could invoke the power of his grandfather’s Klan to deal with immigration from Asia and Africa and also from Latin America.
The Americans have been so civilized in their old ways and should look no further, no need to think harder or work harder. Go back to past practices. It is all about American Exceptionalism and the Americans were and still are the most civilized people in the world.
Tillerson is telling the North Koreans that they ‘are presenting an unacceptable threat to us, and we have to respond.’ The North Koreans 2 ICBMs still under testing are an unacceptable threat to the Americans while the Americans flying nuclear bombers over the Korean peninsula is not an unacceptable threat to the North Koreans. The almost daily military exercises outside North Korean soil and sea simulating an invasion are not an unacceptable threat to the North Koreans. The threat of a preemptive nuclear strike on North Korea backed by thousands of nuclear warheads is not an unacceptable threat to the North Koreans.
What else is new and silly, America?

Xi Jinping – End to Deng Xiaoping’s policy of ‘swallowing bitter fruit’
Many western stereotype writers and politicians have been harping about
an assertive China as if China was pushing everyone around in its
foreign policies. They have yet to see what an assertive China is like.
The truth, China has been adopting a policy of restraint and humility
guided by Deng Xiaoping, to work conscientiously in the peaceful
development of China and to avoid dispute, in another words, to work
hard, even to swallow bitter pills.
The western powers especially the Americans and even Japanese thought that this was a sign of weakness and had been pushing China on every fabricated issue they could think of. China’s response was appeasement and walked away from the raw challenge of military power like the bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade, the flying of nuclear armed bombers and recon planes to threaten China and the increasing provocations of violating the territorial sovereignty in the South China Sea. Even a pretentious regional power like India thought it was strong enough to brazenly send soldiers into Chinese territories to stop the Chinese from road building works at the Sino Bhutan border.
The Philippines under the Aquino govt in collusion with the Americans and Japanese thought they could bully China by setting up a kangaroo court at The Hague to rule against China and to declare Chinese islands as rocks in the ocean, thus cutting away Chinese territorial rights in the South China Sea.
Enough is enough. China would not tolerate such violations of its sovereignty and national interests anymore. During the 90 Anniversary of the PLA, Xi Jinping has made an important policy speech to move away from Deng Xiaoping’s policy of avoidance of trouble by not picking up the gauntlet, even when humiliated. Henceforth, ‘We will never allow any people, organization or political party to split any part of Chinese territory out of the country at any time, in any form. No one should expect us to swallow the bitter fruit that is harmful to our sovereignty, security or development interests.’
This is a major shift in Chinese policy and overdue. Countries still complaining about an assertive China would be mistaken and would be rudely awaken to see the real assertive China to come. From this speech, Xi Jinping has firmly give notice to the world, to the USA, Europe and little countries like Japan, England and Australia that China would mean business and would not tolerate their nonsense and unreasonable demands and provocations. The constant provocations by the Americans in the South China Sea would be firmly dealt with and with appropriate military response if needed to. China would show the Americans the middle finger on the North Korean issue. It is not China’s problem to deal with the North Korean’s nuclear programme and China would not go along or be pressured by the Americans to undermine its relations with the North Koreans. More firm response would be taken against Thaad deployment in the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese should be more careful with their words and actions on the island dispute in the East China Sea. And India better move its soldiers out of Chinese territory before they be kicked out by force.
The China today would take the bull by the horns and face any challenges squarely and militarily if necessary. Little USAs better take note and shut up or would have eggs in their faces. ‘China wants peace, but will not be bullied’, said President Xi Jinping. China would no longer walk away from trouble, provocations and challenges.
The world is going to see the real assertive China when its interests are threatened or challenged. This time China would say to the Americans, all options are on the table, including military ones. Not only the Americans can say this, China too would be saying this to the Americans. China would not just be watching idly by should the Americans attack North Korea or any of its allies.

Philip Ang – Beware Ponzi scheme may blow up soon
Philip Ang wrote a piece with figures to support to warn Singaporeans
about the risk of the CPF Ponzi scheme blowing up. How reliable were
the numbers he put up is debatable as what he could do was to
extrapolate from the limited data available. The truth or data as to the
financial health of the CPF money is not readily available. The
soundness of the CPF savings is as good as the govt’s words, trust me,
everything is professionally managed by the best managers money can buy,
in good hands, and the money is safe. And it is secret. This is the
most frightening part. When the data or truth cannot be told or
concealed, should you be worried? Knowing how people like to parrot
their achievements, and when there is no achievement to gloat about and
no data to show, you better read between the lines and make your own
conclusion.
The CPF is now like a secret maze, guarded with top secrecy and the public don’t really know what is going on except for some numbers put up occasionally. Is Philip’s concern valid, that this Ponzi scheme is about to blow up? If Philip is right, no Singaporean is spared and the consequences are grave. Imagine a whole life time of earnings of a few million people disappeared in thin air. Just hope Philip is wrong and everything is fine. Trust the govt that everything is fine.
There is another Ponzi that cannot escape the passage of time. This is the 99 year lease on HDB flats. Singaporeans are expected to celebrate SG100 in 2065, ie less than 50 years away. By then, many HDB flats would be at the end of their leases and many Singaporean HDB owners would see the value of their flats becoming zero. There is no way to cover up or avoid this rude awakening. The million dollar asset rich Singaporeans would turn penniless overnight comes SG100. Not only that, many would have to be evicted from their flats when the leases expired.
Still there is another immigration Ponzi scheme going on when more and more foreigners would have to be brought in to shore up the property market. The influx of more and more people cannot go on and on. It is unsustainable and must come to a halt. Then what? Another big bust.
With these 3 Ponzi schemes awaiting to explode, is the future really that comfortable, good and secure for Singaporeans?
