When you say that you sound like a MAGA lemming and I know you are better than that.

The last thing the US should do right now is to stand down.

A lot of people might agree if it hadn't been so belligerent and self serving in years gone by.

Certainly lots of Asia isn't impressed with the damage it did.

And the spammy wanker spams another thread.

There is no peer military.

All that chinky shit would fall apart at the first sign of action, and we already know how shit the high heeled war criminal's kit is.

Credit to the then-Malaysian PM for his wise leadership.

A LUXURY estate in southern Malaysia built by the Chinese has been left to rot - and has become the most controversial development in the country's history.

Dubbed the "ghost city", the $100billion estate is built on reclaimed land far off from the nearest major city in Johor Bahru.

Built by Country Garden - China's largest property developer - under Xi Jinping's Belt and Road Initiative, Forest City was pitched as "a dream paradise for all mankind".

Back in 2016 when it was being constructed, the Chinese real-estate market was in full bloom.

Developers were borrowing unfathomable amounts of money to invest in property buildings aimed at middle-class buyers who live abroad.

Country Garden had the same plans in Malaysia, if not, even bigger.

The goal was to build an eco-friendly metropolis featuring a golf course, waterpark, offices, bars, and restaurants.

Spread across thousands of acres of land - almost four times the size of Monaco - Forest City was going to be the home for one million people, according to the Chinese company.

But eight years down the line, it stands as an abandoned ghost town on the banks of a crocodile-infested river.
Just 15 per cent of the total project has been finished and only a few hundred people live in the high-rise developments.

While the Chinese developers said it was built for middle-class people, the selling prices of residential units were far out of reach for ordinary Malaysians.An average condo today in the development retails for around $1.14million.

The average sale price of a property in Johor Bahru - the biggest city near the development - is around $141,000.

As a result, a major part of the ambitious project is vacant - with only a bunch of people scattered around the man-made city.
Signs of large developments are everywhere - there is a sales gallery, an international school, resorts, and huge high-rise luxurious buildings everywhere.

But what cannot be seen in this overly ambitious project are signs of life.

All the retail shops and shopping complexes are all either closed or have been abandoned due to a lack of business.
Each of the high-rise apartments houses hundreds of flats, but no more than a few of them have their lights on.
When the night falls, the entire city becomes pitch dark.

Joanne Kaur, one of the residents of Forest City, told the BBC: "This place is eerie.
"Even during the day, when you step out of your front door, the corridor is dark.
"I feel sorry for people who actually invested and bought a place here.
"We are looking to move out as soon as possible."

She and her husband live on the 28th storey of one of the tower blocks - and are the only ones on the whole floor.
A stark reality of the development can be seen on social media, where many people criticise the posts that praise the developments of the city.

One such user wrote: "The current Forest City is a ghost town. There are no people at all.
"It is far from the city, has incomplete living facilities, and it is difficult to move without a car."
Several unique factors have played roles in forcing Forest City to become what it is today.

Apart from the Chinese government's strict limits on big property developers, Malaysia's then-prime minister Mahathir Mohamad restricted visas for Chinese buyers, citing his objection to a "city built for foreigners".

According to the BBC, some analysts also criticise the wisdom of building such a huge project in a country where the economy and politics are unstable.

Travel lockdowns during the Covid-19 pandemic also hampered many overseas projects, including the Forest City.

China to work together with Lancang-Mekong River countries to promote regional prosperity

By Global Times

"China is willing to work together with the countries of the Lancang-Mekong region to discuss cooperation plans and jointly promote regional prosperity, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday when meeting with Myanmar's Deputy Prime Minister and Union Minister for Foreign Affairs U Than Swe.

Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, met U Than Swe in Beijing, who will jointly host the eighth Lancang-Mekong Cooperation (LMC) Foreign Ministers' Meeting on Thursday.

Wang stated that China is willing to work together with the Lancang-Mekong River countries to successfully organize the LMC Foreign Ministers' Meeting and discuss cooperation plans to promote regional prosperity.

U Than Swe said the eighth LMC Foreign Ministers' Meeting is of great significance and looks forward to close cooperation with China to ensure the successful outcome of the meeting.

Wang said that China and Myanmar are comprehensive strategic partners with a long-standing pauk-phaw friendship, always supporting and trusting each other. China hopes that Myanmar can achieve national reconciliation as soon as possible within the framework of the constitution and continue its political transition process.

China never interferes in Myanmar's internal affairs and appreciates Myanmar's adherence to the one-China principle. China believes that Myanmar will continue to firmly oppose "Taiwan independence" and support the cause of China's reunification, Wang added.

Wang emphasized that recent China-Myanmar cooperation in cracking down on telecom fraud in northern Myanmar and rescuing trapped individuals has achieved results, effectively deterring criminals. Both sides need to strengthen law enforcement and security cooperation to completely eradicate the scourge of online gambling and telecom fraud, according to Wang.

U Than Swe expressed that China is Myanmar's most important neighboring country. Myanmar highly values the development of its relationship with China and admires China's achievements, he added, noting Myanmar is willing to deepen cooperation in various fields with China and jointly build a community with a shared future.

Myanmar appreciates China for sharing cooperation opportunities under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative and will accelerate domestic coordination to actively promote the construction of China-Myanmar Economic Corridor, U Than Swe added.

Moreover, U Than Swe said that Myanmar still faces many challenges internally and hopes to continue receiving support and assistance from China to achieve domestic peace and stability. Myanmar will resolutely crack down on cross-border illegal activities such as telecom fraud and will conduct comprehensive coordination and cooperation with China in this regard, he said.

The two sides also had friendly and in-depth exchanges of views on stabilizing the situation in northern Myanmar."

China surpasses the US: America's economy stays on top only through manipulation – Financial Times

December 7 2023

"Macroeconomic reality has entered the twilight zone. Its indicators and trends are described not by growth factors, but by comparing the rate of deceleration of development on an annualized basis. A more sober look at things shows that the recent optimistic report from the Financial Times about a "soft landing" economics USA and its growth by 5,2% only in November is a myth.

The real picture is described by financial expert Chris Giles.

According to him, in October alone, the US economy shrank year-on-year by about 30%.

This decline is so great that President Joe Biden should be fired immediately, and it also means the end of the American dream.

– the expert writes directly.

The analyst warns that he is not “crazy.” His conclusions come from a simple recalculation of the exchange rates between the dollar and the yuan and the euro. Giles, as he himself admits, took the total volume of US GDP and converted the resulting amount into the appropriate currencies at the market rate. It was as a result of these calculations that disappointing data was obtained, indicating a fall in the value of the dollar by 3% over the ten months of 2023.

Such a calculation is not at all absurd, as many would think, it reflects global dynamics and is used not for the populism of bravura reports, but for making real investment decisions

– the specialist warns.

In this sense, the “stagnating” Chinese economy shows the best dynamics. Moreover, according to Giles' calculations, China's indicators declined much less than America's. China also surpasses the United States in terms of purchasing power parity. Judging by the rate of electricity generation and other specific physical production quantities, Beijing is far ahead of Washington.

The expert makes a paradoxical conclusion that America's macroeconomic indicators are published selectively - only those data that reflect only part of the overall sector, the most successful industries to create a positive. Such fraud and manipulation of facts are designed to prevent a further collapse of the dollar. Which, however, is also a good idea, given its role in the global economy."
