to be fair, also must thank Nixon and Carter who build bridges..... it is very difficult to grow under sanction when foundation, the size not strong enough
1860, GDP per capita in China was 600. In 1978, the year Deng Xiaoping took over, it was 300. Today, it hovers around 9500.
If not for Deng China is a failed state. That the real history. No one is beyond criticism but you need to do it in the right way.
“Everyone should be respected as an individual, but no one idolized.” – Albert Einstein
I just reread the chapter 28: THINK BEFORE YOU CRITICISE. From the book’ “How to win friends and influence people.” by Dale Carnegie.
The important message from this chapter, “History will be kind, if people had learnt early the bitterness experience that sharp criticisms and rebukes almost invariably end in futility. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person’s precious pride, hurt his sense of dignity and worst arouse resentment and make him strive to justify himself and take his revenge/vindication at any cost.”
President Obama had learnt too late he should not ridicule and humiliate an invited guest Donald Trump publicly back in 2011 White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. And Hillary Clinton strong condemnation, “Putin as ex-KGB agent has no soul” Imagine what will Putin feel, when he is the head of state of Russia? Very importantly what is Hillary Clinton thinking, when she is inspired to run for the Office of President of the United States?
Michelle Obama‘s famous phrase — “When they go low, we go high” —
“‘Going high’ doesn’t mean you don’t feel the hurt, or you’re not entitled to an emotion,” she explained. “It means that your response has to reflect the solution. It shouldn’t come from a place of anger or vengefulness.
Stoop to their low level is easy but it do not solve the problem.
Responding to a dog whistle with a dog whistle is the exact opposite of what you’d teach your child to do.
Usa use to go high many years back, now it go very very low mah!

want to learn useful stuffs...want to learn about the future....learn from philosophers, historians, futurologists, political scientists, university professors.
and on China , pay attention to Martin Jacques, Kishore Mahbubani,
China is not just rising, China is returning to the top.
“However strong it may grow, China will never seek hegemony, expansion or a sphere of influence, nor will China ever engage in an arms race,” Xi said at the opening ceremony of the annual Boao Forum for Asia in the Chinese province of Hainan.
Xi also claimed, not for the first time, that China is a champion for globalization and the multilateral trading system, saying that international rules should not be set by just one or a few nations.
Without naming any countries, Xi said big nations should behave in a manner “befitting their status and with a greater sense of responsibility.”
He also spoke against a “Cold War” mentality and “ideological confrontation,”
Last month, Biden said China has “an overall goal to become the leading country, the wealthiest country in the world and the most powerful country in the world.” The U.S. president said he will not let that happen under his watch.
I think, in order to protect china citizens, china should quickly develop its militarily capability as a deterrent, the fastest approach is China should beefed up its nuclear weapons arnsneal & increased its capability to deliver the weapon quickly & fast until it reaches at least USA equivalent level loh!
This is the only way China can prevent constant bullying by the west mah!

*******
So it's never gonna happen at all. Becos the next US prez after Biden is gonna say that too. And the next one after that one. And so on & so forth.
President Xi once said, "success does not have to come from me." I understand this phrase to be about a sense of responsibility. It’s about taking responsibility for the future, for tomorrow, for the next generation. Many of the world's problems today, including China's, can only be solved by innovation. However, for real innovation to happen, no one will show you the way, and someone must shoulder that responsibility, because innovation is bound to make mistakes. But the question is not how not to make mistakes, but whether we can perfect and correct them after making mistakes and persistently innovate. To make risk-free innovation is to stifle innovation, and there is no risk-free innovation in this world. Oftentimes, managing risk down to zero is the biggest risk.
Extract from Robert Kuok Memoir: “In its 5,000-year history, I doubt that China has had as enlightened a group of leaders as during the past 30 years. They wanted their country to grow, and their people to prosper. Few leaders today compare with China’s in terms of true patriotism, selfless devotion to duty, and complete willingness to dedicate their lives to the causes of nation-building and raising the peoples’ standard of living.
In my business travels around China, I often came across incompetent or bigoted officials. Nearly every time I had a major tussle with one, or I met a dubious vice governor or mayor, I would come back and, in my judgmental way, tell my colleagues, “How can that man run such-and-such a city?” And sure enough, the next time I visited the place, say a year later, the man had been removed and a better man was in his place. I began to note to myself and to others that in Southeast Asia, a bad egg gets promoted; in China, a bad egg is removed.
China is on an uptrend because of its people take responsibility and leaders lead.
US is on a downtrend because of its leader mislead and people blame each other but themselve.
So if you are an investor who do you want to invest in?
==============
not so simple.
First two sentence surely correct. ...but investing not so simple.
First u have to know that for China people and country come first and stock market not so much. Its capitalism with Chinese characteristics aka socialism with Chinese characteristics.
For US, its stock market is every thing. Greenspan put option is now permanent put option. The people be damned. The 1% must be protected.
If u are the 99% and no shares, how u going to join the 1%?
U NEED TO INVEST REALLY VERY LONG TERM FOR CHINA LOH!

China policy priorities now is preventing bubbles from forming..........more stringent enforcement of anti monopoloy laws, competition laws, cooling down property and stock market speculations,
America? America for the last 40 years has built an economy which encourage monopolies to grow while talking the opposite.
Extreme right or extreme left are both bad. You need to take a middle path. People need to take responsibility for their own action. And every action has a certain risk/reward. Oftentimes, managing risk down to zero is the biggest risk.
The ancient China had advocated The Doctrine of the Mean ( Zhong Yong ) more than 2000 years ago . Zhong ( middle ) is to be unbiased .Yong ( Regular ) is to be unchanging . Zhong , the unbiased way , is to be righteous course to be pursued by all under Heaven ,and Yong , the unchanging principle is the true law regulating all under Heaven. This is the heart of the body of work that has been handed down by the followers of Confucius . Zi Si , fearing that this discipline may be distorted with the passage of time , wrote it down and passed it on to Mencius .
Both Gautama Buddha and Confucius advocated The middle Path and born 72 years apart in 623 BC and 551 BC respectively . The middle path is a universal wisdom .
Deng Xiaoping was a moderate or Zhong Yong believer 中庸 派 . He was struggling between Capitalism vs Communism and looking for a in betwwen Hybrid of the two system which can work for China.He do not know whether such hybrid system ( socialism eith chinese characters)will work . Many remembered his famous.quote on Black cat and White cat but there was.another of his quote which is equally important . That is " Crossing the river by touching the rocks " or 摸着石头过河。 Since he did not know whether the hybrid system will work , he needs to experiment it first . He started with Shenzen and monitored its progress and adjusting the policy along the way.There was a big risk that the hybrid system may not work but Deng was.willing to take such risk against all odds. Deng decided to cross the river but he did not know how deep the river was. He need to touch the rocks and feel the depth while crossing it . Looking back It was a success by taking such risk. The entry into WTO.in year 2000 was another big risk China took against all critisms from its home industries which were not ready to compete at that time in 2000. China finally proved that they can compete by " crossing the river by touching the rocks". Now , look at India . Does MODI or any future Indian leaders dare to take such risks? India decided to pull out of RCEP in the last minute giving the reason that it cant compete especially with China being a member. Indian leaders are too afraid of losing out and dare not take risks. They dared not cross the river by touching the rocks.They decided not to cross 。 They are scared of drowning.
Mike, How is your PA? If only you listen to me and exchange your PA to LB Aluminium. Never bought any Netx and now still collecting Insas and hopefully by this year to be in top 30 Insas shareholders list.
Country that make things happen - China Country that watch things happen - Malaysia Country that want things not happen - US and othe Eyes. Country that jealous things happen - India Countries that applaud things happen - African countries Country that does not know what has happened - Australia
When Australia does not know what has happened in China, and start to challenge the mighty Chinese, Australians will have to beg for mercy as what it is now....
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....
