China's SCS Strategy Thread

[ansy1968]

Hey me personally I would have loved nuking Vilnius and Prague in addition to Brussels, London, Tallahassee, New York, L.A., D.C., Tokyo, Seoul, Manilla, and maybe even Taibei...but no, actually, they won't actually fear China -- there's a psychological phenomenon called "sublimation" whereby one feeling is transformed into another; and any fear will pretty quickly turn into hate (and never underestimate the healing power of hatred [as some of us may well know!])...so actually counterproductive and why Xi Jinping seems like a real all-around leader.

No it's more like Apple, mostly fancy marketing...basically, it was Hollywood. Never underestimate the power of a good mind-virus!

Did you know that literally one man is responsible for basically all the female smokers??? It's true! The guy was in advertising and so good he later went into the C.I.A. and was honored at the end of his career by the Yale Club for lifetime achievement!! [Article in "The Atlantic" years ago.]


And again, no one actually likes China -- Malays certainly are not known for their love of Chinese people.

Just sayin'...sh!t can turn "like that"...like October Seventh.

I don't know about you BUT for me being Chinese in the Philippine is beautiful ....lol , we just need more interaction to break the barrier, the problem is most Mainland Chinese who migrate to ASEAN country are from the province not from the cities and are mostly uncouth, they are loud, don't follow the rules especially when queuing, all this things pile up to make an unpleasant image of China. BUT give it time, as more sophisticated Chinese shun the West and are looking at other region to invest and to live.

The Mainland Chinese should thank us Hua Qiao for opening the gate of opportunity for them, we had endure the discrimination and came up the victor in our struggle to assimilate, that's the thing the Chinese in general can easily adapt and since there are many Filipinos working abroad, they experience the same discrimination as well, so there is a shared understanding among the two communities. And I see the same pattern developing in ASEAN (except for Brunei and Singapore) those Indonesian domestic workers employed overseas suffer the same fate as most Filipinos.

An anecdote, you know why the Filipinos see the Chinese in a more positive light, the basic salary of domestic help is $40 per month before the Chinese came, now its $200 per month as Chinese competition steer up demand. The most affected are the middle class and the nouveau rich as they struggle to find help and balance their budget, if you ask those domestic helpers to choose between a Chinese employer and that of the local, the majority answer the former as they were treated with respect with comfortable living environment.

Well, if China can give the American an upper cut, they will automatically become the eldest brother in the neighborhood. But is it even possible without entering a total war that can bring our planet into extinction?

I wonder why China never touch Moro in the southern part of Philliphine? They are muslim extremist yes, but they rebelled to philliphine for many years

My base of thinking is that the southern strait of philliphine is a strategic location for us navy to come to scs.

If china can give them the teeth to bite just imagine how big of headaches for the philliphine and us to feel.

This will make philliphine hate china. But also a fear factor that make them think twice before they want to oppose china militarily

That's true; I see this where I'm at, too, and it's quite cringe even for me -- and I'm no longer someone who thinks it's my own duty to give a good impression of Chinese people to others LOL

The Mainland Chinese should thank us Hua Qiao

Well according to "Tiger Trap," Jiang Zemin once gave a speech during which he specifically thanked necessarily anonymous heroes among "the many overseas comrades" for contributing in their own unsung ways to Chinese intelligence success (!).

for opening the gate of opportunity for them, we had endure the discrimination and came up the victor in our struggle to assimilate, that's the thing the Chinese in general can easily adapt and since there are many Filipinos working abroad, they experience the same discrimination as well, so there is a shared understanding among the two communities.

Yes, I've never once detected any anti-Chinese sentiment among the many pinoys I've met...same with Indians, come to think of it; I'm very surprised at the bad blood since it's never been my own personal experience at all (yes for me the world revolves around me LOL).

I see the same pattern developing in ASEAN (except for Brunei and Singapore) those Indonesian domestic workers employed overseas suffer the same fate as most Filipinos.

Well let's not forget that many of the bad bosses are Hong Kongers and Taiwan compatriots!!!

Shocking, actually, given all the maid-abuse reports coming outta HK, Singapore, and Taiwan as noted fairly often in the SCMP -- but good to know and welcome news to me!

If there's one language that sounds funnier than Cantonese.... ;-)

(Yes I know Cantonese is probably closer to how ancient Chinese ["Mandarin"] itself had sounded...!)

There you go; you see the problem.

No, it's more emotionally satisfying to nuke all these China-haters but then where would we sell to LOL

They have interacted with Sultan of Sulu, he visited China and died there, there is a monument commerating his burial. After the first Ming emperor died his successor burn the great fleet and close China from the outside world. So in effect it's a good thing cause the Muslim world never see the Chinese as conquerer. Imagine if the Chinese interacted with the European and adapt their practices the Muslim world will be in a lot of hurt.
