Why a Prosperous and Powerful China is Great for Self-Loathing Chinese Bananas, Pseudo-Whites and White-Wannabes

[Asterix]

A prosperous China is definitely better for an overseas Chinese than a China that was the “sick man of Asia” with half of its population addicted to opium.

It means you won’t be looked down upon and bullied as poor and ignorant just because of the colour of your skin. However, as Gweilos and others cannot easily distinguish between an overseas Chinese and a mainlander, because of the behaviour of your mainland “brethen”, you most likely will be looked downed upon as rich but uncivilised. If China as a powerful nation is assertive, you most likely will not be bullied in most day to day situations and that is a good thing.

There’s nothing much you can do about it. Ethic pride is rubbish anyway. You should only be proud of what you have achieved through your own effort. Being born yellow or white or brown is just a roll of the dice, nothing to be proud or ashamed of:

Nothing to do with "cheating", "conniving" or "honour", etc. Building artificial islands may be something of a huge relevation to you but they are nothing new. They have been built since ancient times; from the ones found in ancient Egypt to the Stilt crannogs of Scotland and Ireland to Tenochtitlan, the Aztec predecessor of current day Mexico City to Dejima in the bay of Nagasaki, Japan. Even whities tried to build artificial islands (Venetian Islands, Florida) but eventually failed.

"Modern" artificial islands can be found in Qatar, UAE, Netherlands and Japan amongst those many that have been constructed. They are built around the world by a whole lot of countries, including Willingdon Islands and a few others built by your Indian forefathers in India.

How do you think the islands (below) in Dubai came about? Through the works of nature?

Arabs do not build artificial islands to claim territory. They build it within their territories. China on the other hand, build one where there were no islands before and claiming the maritime area around it as theirs. Blatant cheating and thieving as mentioned by trump.

Don't be silly. The word "territory" is not restricted to land. It refers to "geographic area". This includes the sea. I have already addressed this "land" issue in an earlier post, Message 74 of this thread. China is free to do what it wants to do with its own territories.

​

"China’s land-grab in the South China Sea..."​

​

There's no land grab. On the basis of historical ownership since they were an ancient maritime power travelling the seas and staking out claims, as the Europeans did a few thousand years later after they emerge from their caves, this belongs to China. It's no different to the Falklands belonging to the British despite it being 12,789 km from England and only 1,521km from Argentina. If historical claims are dismissed and cannot serve as the basis of claims to ownership, it will establish a precedent where whities themselves will be placed in the perilous position of having to give up the ownership of "their" countries - the US, Canada, Australia, NZ, etc.​

Also, check out how the independent Kingdom of Hawaii, about 3,846km away from the Californian coastline, became whities' possession. Most importantly, why whities wanted the Hawaiian islands that badly.

Clue: Whities wanted to put their military facilities in the Pacific where it would serve as an advanced perimeter to the whities mainland as well as increase whities military reach into the Asia-Pacific region .

I agree with Anson Chan on the challenges of multicultural representation in the media, especially for a text with a specific narrative such as Crazy Rich Asians (“First Black Panther, now Crazy Rich Asians: how Hollywood minority voices are going mainstream”, September 3).

Both its literary and movie versions have succeeded in providing a breezy overview of the Chinese diaspora’s depth and diversity. But any attempt to impose a primordial definition on this smorgasbord of some 60 million people with Chinese ancestry living outside Greater China would be simplistic, superficial and problematic, even for a behemoth like the Community Party of China.

For example, the only thing that is obviously Chinese or Asian about elegant British actress Gemma Chan is her appearance. The same may be said for the other Chinese actors who hail from America, Australia, the UK, and elsewhere.

Even in Asian countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei, there are variations in the values and outlook of the Western and Chinese-educated local population.

And these are probably the only three countries outside Greater China where Chinese cultural practices remain largely immune from assimilation into the native cultures of their new home. In the West or in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines, most naturalised Chinese assume localised names to fit in, for example.

While the overseas Chinese community shares a common heritage and ancestral link to the Middle Kingdom, many of its members are “cultural products” of the societies and countries they grew up in. They are citizens of their respective countries first and foremost; not an instrument to project China’s power and influence worldwide.

It would be short-sighted for any Chinese to reduce millenniums of Chinese civilisation to the ambitions of one party, and expect the Chinese diaspora to do the bidding of a “motherland” based purely on race (“Overseas Chinese ‘have role to play’ in building political trust abroad for Belt and Road”, August 24).

The Han culture may be alive and well at various levels in different parts of the world, but it has also evolved relatively harmoniously with other cultures in the spirit of multicultural “coexistence and sharing”, in sharp contrast to the growing mono-cultural chauvinism masquerading as multiculturalism on the mainland. Even Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan are not carbon copies of the mainland.

Pseudo-whities still have no inkling that they are no more than the skin just beneath the outer brown scaly skin of an onion. They are not the core and will never form or will be part of the core. At the core of an ABC onion is the American English-speaking whitie, followed by whities of different linguistic group and European heritage.

ABC pseudo-whities will take turn with Muslims, Mexicans or whichever non-white groups that whities are having problems with at the moment, to be the brown scaly skin. Currently, it is the Muslims. If war breaks out with China or when it comes to the crunch, ABCs will be elevated to become the brown scaly skin of the onion.

An ABC (Australian version) pseudo-whitie who thought she could shed her Chinese ancestry, embrace whities and become the core of the whitie onion. She's just learned the bitter truth after 20 years.

Don't be so naive as to believe everything written about China by the western media.Trump himself is a blatant cheater; Russian collaborator; sex cheat tax cheat and a thieving business cheat if one believes all that is written about him by his enemies. Before the islands were built, there were atolls and coral reefs. China did a great job of reclaiming the submerged reefs from the sea and turn it into islands. China is also building within her own territory; just like what Vietnam is doing now. Imitation is the best form of flattery! The USA and its long lists of lapdogs will of course continue to cowpehcowbu . Why don't they fire the first shot if they are so unhappy about it?

Those artificial islands built on submerged reefs are illegal if based on maritime law-UNCLOS UN convention for the Laws of the Sea.

China's economy slows to levels not seen since the GFC
BY BUSINESS REPORTER STEPHEN LETTS
19 MINUTES AGO

REUTERS: STRINGER
China's economy has ground down to its slowest growth rate since early 2009, as rising trade tensions and the Government's efforts to tackle debt continue to weigh.

The National Bureau of Statistics reported that third-quarter GDP grew by 6.5 per cent from a year ago — the weakest result since the first quarter in 2009 when the global financial crisis was near its nadir.

While official Chinese figures are often questioned for their accuracy, the result is a significant step down from the 6.7 per cent year-on-year growth of the previous quarter.

China's questionable numbers
China's questionable numbers
Why does China even bother producing GDP numbers that few economists see as credible, asks Stephen Letts.
It was also weaker than the market expectations.

However, the result still puts China in line to record 6.6 per cent growth over the calendar year, comfortably ahead of the Government's 6.5 per cent target.

Key monthly data released at the same time painted a mixed picture.

Industrial production slowed. It still grew at 5.8 per cent in the year to September, but it was the weakest factory output since early 2016.

Fixed asset investment — a proxy for infrastructure spending — picked up pace, ahead of expectations and may indicate investment has bottomed as local government stepped up borrowing programs.

Retail sales also accelerated slightly, growing by 9.2 per cent over the year, although much of it was driven by higher inflation rather than a growing appetite for consumption.

Tariffs yet to bite
US trade sanctions are yet to bite, as many Chinese exporters appeared to push more goods through customs to beat the ever-widening tariff net.

US-China trade war explained
US-China trade war explained
It is upping the ante in a high stakes game, but what are the implications of President Trump targeting hi-tech Chinese imports?
So far the effects of the US tariffs have been rather asymmetric, with Chinese exports to the US jumping 0.8 per cent in September, to be up 14 per cent for the year.

However, Chinese imports from the US fell 1.2 per cent, blowing out the monthly bilateral trade imbalance to $US34 billion.

China also noticeably sped up exports to key trading partners in Europe and Japan as well.

Wary of an even sharper slow down, authorities have eased bank financing costs, tax fees and increased export rebates for the second time this year.

More stimulus likely
RBC Capital Markets' head of Asia currency strategy Sue Trinh said it was important to bear in mind the impact of trade tensions has yet to be fully reflected in the data.

"We continue to expect further escalation of Sino-US trade tensions over the coming year, weighing on growth," Ms Trinh wrote in a note to clients.

"Chinese policymakers are faced with a tough proposition — keep pumping liquidity into the system for limited dividend and growing long-term imbalances or accept much slower growth and refocus on deleveraging.

"For now, it looks like China will keep pulling on fiscal and monetary levers even harder to keep growth on target."

Trump will impose 25% tariff on all chink products the moment he wins the November elections. I know he's itching to do it.

But always dominated by the few domineering white countries who practise double standards all if not most of the time. The USA is itself guilty of not abiding by international tribunal's decisions when it goes against their interests.

Dad pleads with Woolworths to reduce baby formula purchase limit handwritten letter
OCTOBER 19, 2018 9:06AM
The buying agents selling Aussie products to China

Frank Chungnews.com.au
A SYDNEY dad has written an open letter to Woolworths begging the supermarket to once again reduce the number of tins of infant formula customers can purchase.
“We are a group of concerned customers who are struggling to obtain baby formula for our babies/toddlers, due to some customers buying eight or more tins,” said the handwritten letter posted on Woolworths’ Facebook page by Ivan Chan.

“We have to keep calling stores all over Sydney to feed our children. The problem has become acutely worse since Woolworths increased the per customer limit to eight tins. We demand Woolworths bring the limit back down to two tins per customer to ensure adequate supply for Australian families.”


Woolworths increased its limit from two tins per customer to eight in August, following Coles’ move the previous month, with both supermarkets citing improved supply following years of long-running shelf shortages.

Baby formula is popular among ‘daigou’, or personal shoppers, who buy up stock and resell the products to customers in China at inflated prices. Some daigou can make more than $100,000 a year.

Scenes of Asian shoppers stripping shelves of products, queuing up in the dark outside chemists, filling trolleys and car boots and even pushing, shoving and running down supermarket aisles have generated outrage on social media.

Not everyone was sympathetic, with one user saying Mr Chan should “order your formula online or ask (Woolworths) to order in extra for you instead of complaining”.

“Hungry babies don’t wait for online deliveries. Hope you don’t have to experience that one day,” Mr Chan replied, adding he and the two other people who signed the letter had “all been trying to get some for several days”.

“All the stores from all our neighbourhoods had sold out across Sydney,” he said.

“As I said, this wasn’t a problem until Woolies suddenly increased their limit by 400 per cent. We literally watched two women swipe everything off the shelf before we could get anything for ourselves.”

Customer Julie Armstrong wrote on Woolworths’ Facebook page that on Thursday morning she was “horrified to see 20-30 people running out of Woolworths with boxes of baby formula before running back for more”.

“They were stashing it behind pillars to get more, the carpark was full of cars over flowing,” she said. “I asked why, I was told by an employee it happens everyday, as the formula company likes the sales so they let them do it.”

In response to Mr Chan’s letter, Woolworths said it had “been working very closely with our suppliers and recently changed our formula tin limit as a result of improving supply in the market”.

“Please know that we’ve shared your feedback with the relevant teams,” it said. “We will continue to carefully monitor stock availability, supply arrangements and feedback from customers and will adjust the limit again if needed.”
