I’ve noticed recently this trend of African-Americans writing books about solving racism in America. Each one of them have the same solution. Don’t bring up race. You know what the other thing they have in common? They’re all Republicans.
Of course their only concern comes from a white perspective. Yeah they don’t like it when non-whites bring up race because it’s always about whites being racist. Why don’t whites stop bringing up race?
I know someone Chinese who use to own a small store in a marketplace. She would tell me how whites would come up to her all the time just to complain to her about China. Personally every time I experience a new group of white acquaintances, there’s always one or two of them that will want to put me in place because of my race. They do that primarily to learn how far they can go with me or like with my friend… use me to get all their frustrations out regarding China.
It’s like that stereotypical Marine I know through my friend because he’s his sister’s baby daddy that I’ve brought up before in this forum. He’s a Republican who hates Democrats, big surprise, who loves to start heated arguments with them. When I first met this guy, I steered clear of talking politics with him. Then one day we all were at a restaurant after watching a movie and I was sitting across from him and all of the sudden he was staring dead at me and then… he brought up China. I unloaded on him. He didn’t expect that. He was unprepared for someone like me. I was running circles around him where he had nothing left and was just repeating the same arguments over again.
Yes white people… when are you going to stop bringing up race?
Israel: opst, stupid Americans forgot to update our Google maps again!
Multiple high ranking Iranians killed.
Looks like I underestimated Netanyahu.
why would you underestimate him or Israel when they are part of the system. Japan would have become economic corpse if it does not have certain history that most people not pay attention. it is that tilt that keep countries like Japan/Korea competitive with Europe.Looks like I underestimated Netanyahu.
So amongst the top ASEAN nations, China can only count on Vietnam and Indonesia for now, as PH is in the pocket of US, MY is now anti China, and SG is always on the fence. It's getting difficult for China to maneuver.Not breaking news. About 3 days ago, Singapore demanded the Israeli embassy to takedown a Facebook post that insults the Quran.
Singapore had shown that it has the guts to tell Israel off for insulting Islam. Singapore has the guts to protect the rights of its own Muslim minorities. Even from Israel, who is a long-time defense supplier and partner of Singapore.
Meanwhile in Malaysia, a convenience store and it's supplier is being charged because they happened to have a sock with the word "Allah" on one of its shelves. A Malay Muslim politician in Malaysia consider it an insult to Islam, was livid, and then went on a crusade against that convenience store. The Malay Muslim majority were captured by this crusade and added a huge momentum to it. Now, there is a national firestorm over this issue.
I have been following this saga for more than a week. I thought it was gonna be small news that blows away eventually. Just a sock that had insulted someone right? But no, it had reignited a nation-wide hatred on Malaysian Chinese businesses and society. So I have to rant about it.
A sock with the word "Allah" on it had resulted in a convenience store chain (KK Mart) being charged. Then, a garment supplier having its business licence suspended and charged. Both were Malaysian Chinese businesses. Furthermore two non-Muslim Malaysians received 6-month jail time for posting rebukes on the social media that apparently "hurt the feelings of Muslims". One of them was a Malaysian Chinese. The other was an East Malaysian Christian. They both got doxxed by Malay Muslim fanatics, were caught and convicted swiftly.
Meanwhile Malay Muslim fanatics have been popping up everywhere, protesting and incuting hatred on KK Mart and other Malaysian Chinese businesses. Some of them had attempted to throw a Molotov cocktail at one KK Mart store. And that Malay Muslim politician who had started the storm continued to double down on the KK Mart hate, even after KK Mart made a public apology. He continues called for a Muslim boycott of KK Mart, and says that he wants to make an example of KK Mart. He had also warned other Malaysian Chinese businesses that they might feel his Muslim wrath in the future. Still, the total number of Malay Muslims charged for inciting racial and religious hatred: zero.
Anwar Ibrahim's "Madani" government had promised to make Malaysia a fairer places for all races and religion. What we are seeing now is the Malay Muslim majority clearly bullying and inciting hatred on Malaysian Chinese businesses and people. But the people and entities who have been charged and punished are: 4 non-Muslims, and 0 Muslims. This is extremely disappointing. If this government could not defend the rights of the minorities, they are going to lose their credibility among the minorities very quickly. Anwar Ibrahim better do something about this urgently. Especially if he wants to win the next election. The optics are just not good. Malaysian retailers are now fearful of anymore Malay Muslim landmines.
Malaysia, especially in West Malaysia, is an example of a Hindutva-style Muslim society. Where the majority, the Malay Muslims mostly consider themselves exceptional. In the past, it was more towards Malay exceptionalism. Today, it is more towards Muslim exceptionalism. Malaysia is a major recipient of Chinese FDI. Despite the friendliness of the government to China, the Malay Muslim majority do not share the same sentiment. So, China should not expect too much ROI from Malaysia. And Malaysians should stop dreaming of becoming a high income nation, despite the efforts of the Anwar-led government. They are dealing with a population majority as arrogant and as stupid as it is. Hence, Malaysia shall perpetually remain a 3rd world nation. Continue screaming for Malay and Muslim exceptionalism while your nation continues to drop in the ASEAN economic development ranking. Don't be surprised that Cambodia or Laos overtakes you next.
No I don’t think so. This is scrawny bookworm type I saw recently doing interviews.Is that the same guy you shut up by telling him that you support President Xi because he made China great again?
Indonesia is basically the head of ASEAN though or leader.So amongst the top ASEAN nations, China can only count on Vietnam and Indonesia for now, as PH is in the pocket of US, MY is now anti China, and SG is always on the fence. It's getting difficult for China to maneuver.
BTW, any chance Dr Akmal is funded by a 3 letter agency?

China has been accused of IP infringement by the West all the time for the past 40 years. Yet surprisingly few cases were actually brought to a court of law, and those lawsuits won by the western companies were fewer still.Intel and Micron lose patent lawsuits to Chinese firms.
How China can best counter the US-Japan-South Korea alliance
- The US-Japan-South Korea pact is a result of geopolitical polarisation amid tensions from Ukraine, North Korea, the East China Sea and the Taiwan issue
- If China can signal peace, or even broker it, the 21st century will belong to China and Xi’s statesmanship will be globally venerated
The great plan doesn’t even make sense: US Marines hiding in some islands to help launch B1 bombers and missiles from the Japan and the Philippines. That’s how to fight China?
