CAKAP AUT@ - DIA SENDIRI TAK FAHAM APA DIA CAKAP

"ada exit clause, security conditions, the law of the land"

  • OSTB: Dia sendiri cakap Ini adalah negara China punya clause 
  • Bukan kita punya clause. 
  • Pasal apa pula rujuk negara China punya clause? 
  • Apa kena mengena dengan perjanjian kita pula? 

 

"Exit clause itu tekan dengan serius"

  • OSTB: tekan dengan serius??  
  • Pasal apa pula pi buat perjanjian untuk exit-exit pula? 
  • Apa punya beb@l? 
  • Kalau nak exit-exit then why sign the perjanjian in the first place?
  • Kalau begitu 'tekan dengan seriusexit clause, elok jangan buat perjanjian. 

 
"tapi China tak buat apa jenis syarat 'jangan melabur" pun" 

  • OSTB: Sekali lagi pasal apa sebut syarat negara China dengan negara lain? 
  • Tak ada kena mengena dengan perjanjian kita. 
  • There is no connection dengan perjanjian kita.  
  • Pasal apa sebut yang bukan-bukan. Aut@ betul


  • OSTB: Penjawat Awam ikut arahan. 
  • They follow orders. 
  • You tell the Penjawat Awam "Jump"
  • Dia akan tanya 'Nak jump daripada tingkat berapa?'

 

CHINA HAS BLASTED OFF. CHINA SETS UP "HIGH SPEED" CONNECTION TO SPACE STATION

Its time to write about China again. 

Some news:


 


  • China sent three new astronauts to its space station Tiangong  
  • The crew will stay on Tiangong space station for roughly six months
  • China's Shenzhou-21 spaceship launched Friday
  • Tiangong space station, centerpiece of China's space program
  • Beijing to send astronauts to moon by end of decade and build lunar base

My Comments:

The Chinese have done it again. They sent up three more astronauts (on rotation basis for six months) to their Tiangong space station.

The Tiangong space station orbits Earth at an altitude of approximately 340 to 450 kilometers (210 to 280 miles). 

The Chinese sent up their three astronauts from launch to docking and arrival at the Tiangong Space Station in 3.5 hours!! Three and a half hours from take off in China to docking and arrival on Tiangong. The Chinese hope to make their first manned moon landing flight by end 2030 - five years from now.

My guess is they will eventually develop a shuttle system from earth to the Tiangong "bus station" then to the moon. 

Unmanned rockets will first fly from earth to Tiangong or possibly directly to the moon base with fuel, supplies and equipment. Then the astronauts will fly "light" to the Tiangong "bus station" and catch a space shuttle from Tiangong to moonbase.

Tiangong can become a staging area in space. Unmanned supply rockets to Tiangong will be cheaper and much less risky to operate. 

To escape the earth's gravity a space rocket must reach speeds of about 25,000 mph.  It needs tons of fuel. Freed from the earth's gravity a much smaller space shuttle flying from Tiangong at about that speed can reach the moon in about 10 hours (240,000 miles).

I think all this will become a reality over the next 10 to 20 years. The Chinese are going to "develop" the moon.

Folks, CHINA has already left the whole world behind.

According to the IMF's October 2025 data, China's GDP by PPP is projected to be $41.02 trillion in 2025, making it the largest economy in the world. The US GDP by PPP is about half of that. These are estimates by the smart alecs.

Here are some other figures. These are world production tonnages of steel and cement.

Rank                      Country                    Steel Production (Metric Tons)
1                               China                                 ~1.03 billion mt
2                               India                                      ~120 million
3                               Japan                                      ~80 million
4                               United States                          ~70 million
5                               Russia                                     ~70 million

China produces (and consumes most of it) 1.03 billion tonnes of steel a year. The next largest producer is India at 120 million tonnes. That is almost NINE times smaller than China's production. The US is too far behind at  70 million tonnes -  15 times smaller than China.

 

Rank                       Country                   Cement Production (Million Metric Tons)
1                                China                                        ~2.5 billion mt
2                                 India                                         ~350 million
3                                 United States                           ~90 million
4                                 Iran                                            ~80 million
5                                 Indonesia                                  ~70 million

China produces (and consumes most of it) 2.5 billion tonnes of cement a year. The next largest producer is India at 350 million tonnes. That is SEVEN times smaller than China's production. The US is too far behind at 90 million tonnes - 28 times smaller than China.

Every two years China produces and consumes more cement than the US has produced in 100 years from 1900 to 1999 (including two world wars). 

With numbers like these, the US is no more the world's super power. 
There is really only one superpower in the world and that is China
And they will remain a superpower for a long time.

POKROVSK HAS FALLEN, BLACKHAWK DOWN

 

Pokrovsk is a major city in Ukraine that has now been fully overrun by Russian forces. This is major loss and cause of panic for Ukraine and NATO. 

The Russians enclosed Pokrovsk in a pincer movement and have closed off the pincer (circled in white). Between 5,000 to 10,000 Ukrainian troops are trapped inside the salient.


Two days ago a rather small troop of Ukrainian special forces were landed inside Pokrovsk by three American made Blackhawk helicopters to help rescue the trapped troops. One Blackhawk helicopter was destroyed by a Russian drone and the special forces were almost completely wiped out. It was yet another 'Blackhawk Down' event - a disaster for Ukraine and NATO.

The Russians are moving cautiously with some possibility that the more than 5,000 trapped Ukrainian soldiers can be used as leverage to get Ukraine to agree to a ceasefire. Pokrovsk is still unfolding. 


Japan Russia Treaty To End World War 2 - After 80 Years


Japan and Russia never signed peace treaty after end of World War II
Kremlin welcomes Japan's push for peace treaty amid Kuril Islands dispute
Kremlin welcomed Japan's desire to sign a peace treaty with Russia
follows new Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's (pic below) foreign policy agenda


Takaichi said, "govt to resolve territorial issue and finalise peace treaty."
dispute over four southernmost Kuril islands taken by Soviet Union 1945 

Kremlin responded by saying the statement is "to be welcomed. "
"Moscow also supports signing a peace treaty with Japan" 
Russia noted Japan's "rather unfriendly stance" towards Moscow
Japan has taken part in "all unlawful sanctions and restrictions against Russia" 

dispute over Kuril Islands major obstacle to improved relations 
Tokyo renounced its claims under 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty
Russia, maintains four islands as part of its sovereign territory
PM Takaichi acknowledged relations between two countries "in a difficult situation"

My Comments: The new Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi has a different outlook and worldview towards her nearest neighbours Russia and China. Then they can all cooperate to build more bridges and cars around the world rather than to build aircraft carriers and missile ships.

 

The more "difficult" imaginary enemy for Japan is North Korea. In the past North Korea has tested their ballistic missiles by firing them on trajectories right over the Japanese islands. Which has spooked the Japanese. But North Korea is a close buddy of Russia. If Japan signs a peace treaty with Russia indirectly the temperature between Japan and North Korea can also cool a few degrees. Its win win.

Those four islands can be a problem but perhaps the new Japanese PM has read Donald Trump's 'Art of the Deal'.

Japan is part of the western imposed economic sanctions against Russia. The sanctions are a bigger loss for Japan than Russia. However Russia would like all those sanctions lifted. If Japan is willing to sign a peace treaty with Russia, Russia will most certainly insist that Japan retract or abolish all their sanctions against Russia. This will then create a crack in the western imposed sanctions system. Hence the Russians saying, "Kremlin welcomed Japan's desire to sign a peace treaty with Russia".

Japan would also be striking out under their own foreign policy - independent of the west and the US. Perhaps it is long overdue. 

More importantly Toyota cars can be sold in Russia again and Japanese airlines can fly across Russia on their way west. Japan would most certainly import cheap Russian oil and gas.

Folks the foreign stock markets will go up. Looks like peace is breaking out.
