What will China do?

(8/2022) America gets a lot of bad press, especially over gun control. … and now Roe v Wade.

Bad press? Who cares – there are more important things than that.

It’s not for nothing that the USA is known as the marketing capitol of the world, and even more is the ability to create, to think sideways, and innovate.

This facility is something that a certain other power simply has not have.

Remember when the first wave of COVID-19 occurred? They had no idea of what to do, except lock down the affected areas.

No questions – stay inside, do as you are told. This is message of all dictatorships. Obey or be locked up. Citizens learn this lesson quickly; get used to it and carry on.

This is particularly true of China, which is self-contained, mostly happy, with no desire to go anywhere else.

A well-known reporter asked as many citizens as he could the question, ‘Are you happy?’

The reply was an emphatic ‘yes!’ Why would we want to go anywhere else? We have everything, we travel when and where we want, have the best food, millions of friends. What do you have?

The reporter had no answer. Democracy? Hardly. He went away, thinking.

Do you remember the first Corona outbreak? Lock the affected areas down. Do not leave until we say so.

The economy slid, people were left starving.

So, here’s a thought experiment.

Get all the people from places where China has claimed their land – Tibet, and others.

Get them together at the border – in this case, the northern. Have a drone with loudspeaker, flashing lights, and the message ‘We claim our land’, fly above them as they march in.

China is a country of 1.3 billion (this varies, and ranges from 1.3 to 3.0). It is approximately circular in shape, a dinner plate if you will, and the authorities are powerless.

Goodbye China.

Well, that the idea, but we better get back to reality.

Vladimir – there is no way he’d have used nuclear, his own people would have died,

Much better to have a tiny drone drop a drop or two of their own nuclear poison on him.

American technology is second to none. The portable nuclear plants that are powering quite a few (How many I don’t know), and will become more efficient over time,

Back here, we are stuck on green-house gas reduction. Our recent election was won on that basis.

This is just plain dumb, hypocritical and stupid.

Here we are, supplying coal and gas and iron ore to China. China and India are building more gas/coal fired plants.

Climate change is here to stay – we see that wherever we are – and instead of spending billions on so-called ‘climate summits’, it should be spent on preparing for the future - building retaining walls and so on.

Our recent election was won by the greens, even though they didn’t form government, and we are in the strange situation of supporting policies that are stupid

So, back to my recent past.

I spent a total of three weeks in hospital, where they fixed two small veins leaking blood into my stomach. Micro surgery, eight units of blood, I was in Frankston (a local place) hospital three times. Every piece of high-tech equipment was used.

Twice the ambulance came and took me to the hospital – the first time the paramedic took one look and said, ‘Mate, you had about five minutes to live.

Please don’t read the next bit: I cost me nothing.

Australia is a country that does not worship money. It is a person country.
