The Giant In Search for its Soul- The Good, Bad & Ugly of Asias Great War
It was Pax Mongolia, then Pax Europa, Then Pax Americana, are you ready for Pax ASEANA?War is a very tragic. (THE BAD)The elders created it, their children suffered through it, and the generations that followed were defined by it.WHAT MAKES THE TRAGEDY MEANINGFUL are THE LESSONS LEARNEDSHALL WE GET TRAPPED IN THE PAST AND USE SPECIFIC ugly IMAGES TO FAN THE HATRED AND FORGET THE LESSONS? - shall we denounce the GREAT WALL just because many innocent lives were sacrificed building it? - why do we celebrate Cao Cao as unifier of China who is his short reign cause so much sufferings among the Chinese. That we now have a unified weight, language, transport infrastructure and languages is due to Cao Cao. - There is no nation today that did not have their own blood bath that eventually settled who and what they are today. Even Genghis Khan had to kill his half brother and massacre entire tribes to achieve the unity of an empire considered to be still the largest land based empire in all human history. Same can be said prior to Pax Europa, and similarly PAX Americana....... Two OF MY UNCLES Were TORTURED AND EVENTUALLY EXECUTED. three of my aunts were raped and ed in a well. my family contributed about 25,000 dollars in 1945 (see below) to resist the Japanese Imperial Threat.

By fanning hatred of Japanese may not be enough to ensure one love China.yes The Japanese Imperial Army ( not all Japanese) are evil They did it also for their own survival. Had it not been for Japans bold challenges to the Europeans in the great War, there would not be so many independent Asian nations as there are today.HAVE YOU EVER WONDER IF THERE IS A UNITED JAPAN, KOREA, TAIWAN, AND CHINA FRONT?IT IS ALREADY HAPPENING IN THE economic, CULTURAL, MUSICAL ARENAS.Have we learn our lessons? =================================War Bonds for China
EARLY WARNING...US Dollars Dethroned.....October 20, 2015 Tsunami
Fellow CD community members....an Early WarningWHAT ? For almost 35 years the IMF, which was the creation of the Allied Powers after the 2nd World War, based world money reserve on a basket of currencies with US Dollars as THE dominant currency. The basket includes British Pound Sterling, Canadian $, Australian $ Euros and the Japanese Yen. IMF shall announce the entry of the Chinese RenMinbei (RMB) dislodging US Dollars from its key currency into this basket of currency very soon.....like sometime October 20, 2015.Background < James Rickards.."The death of Money"Penguin Book 2014> : In the 2008 Financial crisis caused by Wall Street New York, The USA government printed more then 3 trillion of US dollars diluting its required reserve to a mere 2 % versus at least 25%. Depreciation should be immediate but USA thought that eventually the USA economy would pick up and make them whole again so pressure was set upon to delay the inevitable.The USA economy did improved but no where near what would be considered even as a muted recovery.IMF had tried to allow RMB to enter about several years ago but USA political pressure prevented this. Now it is inevitable from further pressure of currency crises in Portugal, Italy, Ireland Greece and Spain, whose imitation of USA by printing more money without sufficient reserves forced them to massive stagflation and community unrest. This happened in Weimar Germany that led to the 2nd world War but due to different circumstances.Meanwhile, Brazil, India, Russia, and China had formed their own currency reconciliation purely used for commodity tradeThey have defacto been able to dethrone US Dollars as currency of choice at least in petroleum trade and hopefully more.like China is building 50 cape size bulk carriers ( 150,000 Metric tons ocean vessel) just to take iron ore from Brazil beginning 2017. China took a further step in creating recently.... Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) to distanced its investment/economic cooperation booked in RMB to further preserve RMB's natural strength and diminishing US Dollars backlash as it devalues. China is selling lots of USA Treasury through third parties in London, Frankfurt and Amsterdam and also amassing gold bullions n an attempt to cushions its stockpile of US Dollars. The petroleum imports from Russia are likely to be non US Dollars denominated.Gone are the days where high net worth countries like Saudi Arabia, Japan and even China buys USA treasury denominated in US Dollars which is grossly overvalued to the point that the world cannot live with a sick or damaged US Dollars. True, the world cannot afford to force US Dollars to where it should be valued BUT the tsunami had began taking shape.WHEN: IMF's Christine Legare remarked that the question of RMB becoming a major component in the basket of currency is a question of WHEN and NOT IF. The agenda of this review is set in October 2015. The guess is that usually announcement comes on Tuesday..so perhaps October 20, 2015. The Aftermath:Institutions are moving away from US Dollars or US$ based assets.Since RMB is not yet freely tradeable, then shifting of RMB-linked by products/instruments traded in the NY exchange or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Recently these exchanges showed unusual surges beyond the rationale of fundamentals.Going back to basics like owning farmlands, water, food, clothing and energy resources and even weapons and gold would be good safeguard to maintain quality of life as one knows it.USA real Estate assets will crumble. Its devaluation or its perceived weakened status will force the devaluation of US Dollars against most other world currencies. If USA cannot keep its exports up, then domestic turmoil will begin to increase its intensity in the USA<riots, mayhem> and by contagion extends to Canada and Mexico as well as most of South Americas, <except Brazil and Cuba> and the Carribeans.Am I happy ... NO !!War could be imminent.....THERE ARE ONLY victims here...no one is immune! except those who shorted the market yet what for when world turmoil exists.USA is loosing their friends...even Saudi Arabia is distancing..Midle East is a MESS. Most of Africa is apathetic to USA. Many South Americans remains ambivalent from years of being kept in check by its mighty North America neighbor. Non alligned India and Indonesia does not intend to nudge the fragile applecart of their own fragile economy. East Europe and Central Asia are suspicious of any foreign moves be it USA, Russia or China. By default China, is winning the public relation and economic war. RMB has set set up RMB rconcilaition center around the world. Seems like China deploys traditional GO game using economic might rathen than its military prowess which still does not measure up to USA nor Russia nor even Israel's.This tsunami would claim victims reagrdless of race color or creed. NO ONE is IMMUNE yet world leaders may not be fully prepared HOW to deal with this...SO HELP YOURSELVES AND NOT BE A VICTIM....waiting for help that is not forthcoming......Below is a history of financial crises from 3rd Century so this Oct 2015 tsunami is not unique but a normal natural order when currency cannot hold its intrinsic value..nor an Empire survived its complacency........more to follow soon...3rd century[edit]Crisis of the Third Century14th century[edit]14th century banking crisis (the crash of the Peruzzi and the Bardi family Compagnia dei Bardi in 1345).17th century[edit]Tulip mania (1637)18th century[edit]South Sea Bubble (1720) (UK)Mississippi Company (1720) (France)Crisis of 1763 - started in Amsterdam, begun by the collapse of Leendert Pieter de Neufville, spread to Germany and ScandinaviaCrisis of 1772 - started in London and Amsterdam, begun by the collapse of the bankers Neal, James, Fordyce and Down.Panic of 1785 - United StatesPanic of 1792 - United StatesPanic of 1796-1797 - Britain and United States19th century[edit]Danish state bankruptcy of 1813Post-Napoleonic depression (post 1815)Panic of 1819, a U.S. recession with bank failures; culmination of U.S.'s first boom-to-bust economic cyclePanic of 1825, a pervasive British recession in which many banks failed, nearly including the Bank of EnglandPanic of 1837, a U.S. recession with bank failures, followed by a 5-year depressionPanic of 1847, started as a collapse of British financial markets associated with the end of the 1840s railway industry boomPanic of 1857, a U.S. recession with bank failuresPanic of 1866, was an international financial downturn that accompanied the failure of Overend, Gurney and Company in LondonLong Depression (1873–1896)Panic of 1873, a US recession with bank failures, followed by a four-year depressionPanic of 1884Panic of 1890Panic of 1893, a US recession with bank failuresAustralian banking crisis of 1893Panic of 189620th century[edit]Panic of 1901, a U.S. economic recession that started a fight for financial control of the Northern Pacific RailwayPanic of 1907, a U.S. economic recession with bank failuresWall Street Crash of 1929 and Great Depression (1929–1939) the worst depression of modern history1970s energy crisisOPEC oil price shock(1973)Secondary banking crisis of 1973–1975 in the UKEarly 1980's RecessionJapanese asset price bubble (1986–2003)Bank stock crisis (Israel 1983)Black Monday (1987)Savings and loan crisis of the 1980s and 1990s in the U.S.Early 1990s Recession1991 India economic crisisFinnish banking crisis (1990s)Swedish banking crisis (1990s)1994 economic crisis in Mexico1997 Asian financial crisis1998 Russian financial crisisArgentine economic crisis (1999–2002)21st century[edit]Early 2000s recessionDot-com bubbleLate-2000s Financial Crisis or the Late-2000s recession, including:2000s energy crisisSubprime mortgage crisisUnited States housing bubble and United States housing market correction2008–2012 Icelandic financial crisis2008–2010 Irish banking crisisRussian financial crisis of 2008–2009Automotive industry crisis of 2008–2010European sovereign debt crisis2014 Russian financial crisis
500,000 Chinese + Another 100,000 Chinese massacre in Indonesia - Lest We Forget
Hollywood allowed the " The Act of Killing" recently to mainstream movie houses.Th movie production have deployed actual perpetuators in the film portraying these massacre of Chinese in 1965 and again in the failed power grab by Suharto's son in law Subianto in 1998. My uncle family was brutalized and lost family members to murder and rape in 1965. Some of my business associates died and their daughters raped in 1998.China had not acted in 1965 and for some reason did not censure Indonesia in 1998. Someone is inciting Japan, Indonesia and the Philippines to demonize China and the Chinese. The world stood by in 1930s when Japan invaded China. Nanking massacre followed over 200,000 perished and many brutalized in 1937.Now Obama will visit Hiroshima Memorial as if Japan was a victim and not the perpetuator of the 2nd World War. Along with painting China power grab in Diaoyu and the south China Seas, rightly or wrongly demonizing China and Chinese.The Chinese Dragon will not attain respect if nothing is done now that this films is produced making it an entertainment of the Killings of Chinese. No real respect will come to China if such soft power actions are made to demonize Chinese. Chinese have been demonized as Yellow Fever, the Oriental Freak and Weakling. Now, as docile objects of massacre.Below is my blog accusing Subianto as author of the 1998 massacre. I had warned that he will run for Presidiency in 2014 but fortunately he had lost a few weeks ago to former Jakarta Governor Widodo. ( The pictures is graphic < my apology>. I have ommitted the brutal rape and skewering of female genitalia in my blog. There are plenty of gory images of these events in the internet )http://blog.chinadaily.com.cn/blog-885566-18561.htmlIf China cannot protect Chinese, we will protect ourselves as we have done the past 120 years.
FRANCE vs U K = USA & The Plight of Chinese in North America
USA was a beneficiary of centuries of Quarrel between France & UK. As a gift to USA for winning its rebellion against U K, France gave the Statue of liberty to USA that sits in New York City nd sold the State of Louisiana to the then victorious George Washington's new nation, the USA.Footnote within this saga is a plight of immigrant Chinese in North America...This is their story..... ==========It is the stoic inner strength of the Chinese that help them in their survival and quest for respect.... ==========From the ashes of war between France and U KArises U S A, a continental Power The Statue of Liberty, France's gift to USA to spite the British.====================France, U.K., USA, Chinese and the Statue of Liberty: The Connection Laurentians, 29th June 2014 Summer had finally come. The sun bathe the asphalt car park and the concrete roads with a nice 32 deg C heat. The surrounding river, streams and ponds emits its humidity making it an oppressive 39 deg C on a humidex factor. This is the height of summer in the French Canadian city of Montreal. Weeks ago was the Grand Prix where the rich and truly mechanically obsessed worldwide descended upon this city and spend a few millions Dollars into the hospitality trade that needed a life support from the ravages of the economic downturn brought about by a small yet disruptive brand of nationalists who wanted Quebec as an independent nation from Canada. This is despite the Constitution that granted rights to First Nation who possess a large swatch of land within Quebec but were not consulted. The recent Supreme Court ruling of British Columbia that ruled in favour of the sovereign rights of the First Nations there would further strengthen The First Nation elsewhere in Canada their grip of being an active participants of determining their future. The Parti Quebecoise headed by Pauline Marois sponsored a series of legislation aimed to uphold and secure the interest of French Canadians but ended up enraging the same French Canadians with irrational further tax on the already burden middle class of All colors and genres. Her language police unleashed a witch hunt on all businesses with inappropriate French signage. A restaurant owner was fined for describing his Italian pasta as pasta which was not considered French enough and thus in violation of the language law. A Christian Cross is upheld in the halls of the Parliament to preserve it Christian heritage while wearing a Jewish skullcap, Sikhs headbands, the traditional headdress of Islamic women are considered unlawful, a clear violation of Canadian constitution of freedom of expression and religious freedom. The death blow is their declared intention to seek independence prior to the schedule Spring 2014 election that resulted with them voting out of office and into a minority government. In this supposedly multi-linguals and ethnic Montreal, this week sees the start of the North American Jazz Fest and the Comedy Fest thereafter. These carries heavy English footprints. I wonder if the sovereignists welcomed its Dollars but despised their presence? One cannot always bite on the hands that feeds you. It was true that the French built and settle in Quebec City into a demographical mass to stake its claim as a distinct nation and its unquestionable contribution to the formation of Canada as a country. It was also true that the British who coveted North America and having lost it to the rebels headed by Washington, turned Her attention to occupying North of the border by default. U.K.’s dream of eventually seizing control of the entire Eastern Seaboard was based on Her control of this vast North and Southern Mississippi City of New Orleans. With Her strong Naval presence along this mighty river, the USA rebels was to be harassed between the Mississippi and the Atlantic into submission by U.K.. History has it that France helped Washington won a major Naval victory in Virginia that was decisive in bringing about the birth of the U.S.A. Democracy as first spoused by France became the theme of France’s gift to the USA with the Statue of Liberty that now stands at the harbour entrance to New York City. France eventually sold Lousiana whose vital New Orleans port controls the commerce from South to North was a move design to deny the British any commercial advantages that would have strengthen them in their constant struggle for hegemony in Western Europe with France. Meanwhile, The British dug in and settled in the North. The demographically larger French population in Arcadia and elsewhere were corralled into where the present day Quebec is. By then U.K. was an Imperial Power and ruled by a body of conquistador peers in the British courts. The native French population of Quebec were exploited and felt mistreated. Many now considers and reacts to this century of mistreatment with civil disobedience such as resisting enlistment to the 1st and the 2nd World Wars on the side of the British and more in recent times as the Parti Quebecoise demonstrate. The U.S.A. emboldened by rapid economic expansion after gaining independence from the British further looked into expanding westward onto the Pacific Ocean. They had bought Louisiana from France. Alaska was purchased from Czarist Russia. They rip Texas and California from the Mexican and much of the territories between them. Financed mostly by the Rothschilds of Europe, the Vanderbilts and the Carnegie build the TransContinental railroads making the present day footprint of USA as a continental power. Meanwhile, in the North, The Canadians did the same by connecting Montreal in the East to Vancouver in the West by Canadian National. The poor Irish immigrants and the Chinese serfs who were neither French nor British died in the thousands building TransCanada. The British now had resource rich Canada, people rich India, strategic real estate of Suez, Gibraltar, Malta, Cape of Good Hope and Singapore. U.K. was also in the process of converting South Africa, Kenya. Malaysia, Myanmar and China into colonies. By sending their felons into Australia and ethnically cleansing its aborigines, Australia became the only predominantly Caucasian White nation in Asia. As the only empire where the sun never sets, its British Silver Sterling also became the world standard currency at that time. It is the rapidly diminishing Silver Sterling that U K Paid China for its tea, porcelain, silk and other goods that prompted its colonialization of China. China did not have needs of anything that U K had to offer at that time. The Chinese find wool uncomfortable, cotton was plentiful, none of the farming implements were suitable to Chinese agronomics. There were only war materials and opium UK on Her hands that they can balance its trade with China. The rest is history. THE HUAREN CONNECTION The patchwork of the Chinese immigrants in Canada mirrors China’s history. There are in my view five (5) Chinese genre in many Canadian cities. (1) Were mostly Chinese from southern regions of Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan and Guangxi. They were the indentured serfs who worked in railroads, mines, stevedores in harbours, cooks and laundrymen. They made up the first generation of Chinese immigrants and live in traditional Chinatown of East Hastings Vancouver; Downtown Toronto; Clark Maisoneuve of Montreal. They invented dishes like General Tao Chicken, and Chopsuey that one cannot find anywhere in China nor Taiwan; (2) Mostly overseas Chinese from Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia whose parents placed them in the mainstreams of education that made many of them professional such as accountants, financial advisers, lawyers, newscasters, and physicians or health care workers. These genre would patronize the local establishment and are mainly well integrated into the milieu. Their children tends to date or accept dating with locals. They would enjoy orchestra, symphonies and plays and local arts in places like West Vancouver BC, Strattford, Ontario or St. Sauveur Quebec. Most of them are well versed in several languages and have influential social status. (3) The economic immigrant prior to 1998 Return of Hong Kong to China. These are wealthy middleclass that are at least millionaire in Canadian currencies. They were extracted by Canada and Australia for their supposedly ingrained business acumen, discipline and trolled for their expected contribution to the host economies. They made today’s enclave such as Richmond in BC; Scarborough, Markham, Richmond Hill in Ontario, and Brossard in Quebec. Places like No 3 Road of Richmond, the 1st Markham Place of Ontario, Tachereau West of Brossard typify this genre. (4) The ultra wealthy China immigrants. The only qualification they have would be money and investments. Many left their wives and children while they go back to China or elsewhere to continue their business activities. These genre are on its own and would demand services in the language they feel comfortable with and do generally gets it. They are generally envied and despised by the locals. They may not know how to use the utensils nor sequence of food serve but the most expensive menu and wines would be in their hit list whether they enjoyed them or not. Real Estate agents, car salesmen in dealerships, Maitre d’ in restaurant obliged them and treat them as valued clients over the head of locals. (5) The displaced Chinese from Kampuchea, Vietnam, Laos, Mauritius and Madagascar as political refugees. They are truly displaced from their normal comfort zones. Having French linguistic background, combative civil war trajectories are mostly divisive and fatalistic in their world views. No wonder they hold menials jobs as dishwashers, janitors, laundrymen, and tends to gamble their life savings away. They made up for most of the crime committed by Chinese Canadians.Adversity still abounds in present day North America for overseas Chinese, stoic determination and struggle for survival is still needed to maintain its respectable place in that society. ...........to be continued
TCM : PROs & CONs
Huaren has been treated by TCM and Western Pharmacology. Each has their own strength & efficacy. Be your own judge.Current Western Pharmacology on Traditional Chinese Medicine:Concepts of the body and of disease used in TCM are pre-scientific, similar to European humoral theory, and are pseudoscientific; they are a form of vitalism and are not based upon scientific knowledge. Attempts to find a scientific basis or mechanism of action for concepts used in TCM such as the circulation of Qi, the meridian system, and other related theories have failed. The effectiveness of Chinese herbal medicine remains poorly documented. There are concerns over a number of potentially toxic plants, animal parts, and mineral Chinese medicinals. There is a lack of existing cost-effectiveness research for TCM. Pharmaceutical research has explored the potential for creating new drugs from traditional remedies. Successful results have however been scarceThe epidemiology and popularity of TCM milieu such as in Hong Kong suggests TCM must have something to offer. The longevity and relative health of Hong Kong populace compared to those of the USA points to the benefits TCM delivers.Based on my personal experience. Digestive issues, blood circulation issues goes in the favor of TCM. So is the relief of common cold and irregular menstrual flows. The medical diagnostic on bodily fluids versus pulse or tongue or even color of nails goes in the favor of blood works and other bodily fluid laboratory works.The only drawback of western pharmacology is that it is target specific and in combination with other medication can actually harm the person. This is being addressed in recent time by the advances made in pharmacy that studies the combined effects of medication. A situation as illustration in the prevention high blood pressure, it actually affects the sexual libido of the male subject. Then another medication is put forward to correct this such as viagra type drug to counteract lack of libido. One relaxes the circulatory vessel and another constrict it. TCM would go after the root cause and heal the related organs so that libido returns naturally.

Chinese Massacre...now Vietnam..then Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines
Huaren re-publishing his March 2013 article on Chinese ethnic cleansing in Southeast Asia.(WARNING: PICTURES ARE GRAPHIC & HORRIFIC)+ His grandUncles were massared in Surabaya, Indonesia in 1965 their rice warehouses looted. Again in 1998 in a case of misplaced aggression the aborted coup attempt by Suharto's son in Law (Prabowo now running for 2014 Presidential Election) triggered brutal Rape & Murder.+ His relatives in Malaysia suffered a less tragic pogrom in 1965 in a country that openly and still discriminates Chinese & Indians+ His relatives in Myanmar were displaced and properties confiscated by envious Burmese authorities in the 1960s.+ His relatives were constantly on the lookout for possible kidnapping n the Philippines. Due to intermarriages and assimilation Philippines ranks next to Thailand in being Chinese friendly.NOW, Vietnam latent hatred for Vietnamese of Chinese ancestries lurch its ugly head again last week with officially sanctioned rioting targeting Chinese workers ( some Vietnamese of Chinese ancestries) of basic industries in a protected Industrial zone (Formosa Plastics's Steel Plant)as a result of official unhappiness over maritime dispute in oil rich South China Seas.It would have been easy and natural to advocate revenge and retribution of a similar nature BUT such is not the answer to lasting peaceful co-existence. There are other subtle and indirect ways to censure such brutal pogrom yet maintain rational and moral grounds for calm and reasonable accommodation. Suffice it that the perpetrators would have sleepless night and nightmares of what they have done to his/her fellow human beings.It is inconceivable that Vietnam being beneficiary of China aid during their war of independence from USA would go to war with China in 1979(land border), 1988(China seas) and now openly shed blood of helpless victims within their own Industrial Export zones. An analogy Like some deranged person(s) in Shenzhen would target Foxconn employees making Apple I-phone because they have beef with USA.VIETNAM , WHERE IS YOUR SENSE OF MORALITY, CIVILITY? Is there no hope of peace between Vietnam and China who have constantly warring between them over their thousand years history?...meanwhile, Prabowo is trying to became President of Indonesia in this year election. He is the one who instigated the massacre of fellow Indonesian of Chinese ancestries (many of whom do not even know how to speak Chinese and are fourth generation Indonesians). They are still discriminated on. Banning them from public offices, constant harrassment in business with unreasonable taxes intended to extract bribes forcing many of them to be more creative and successful than the ocal natives thus adding fuel to the local resentment why they are all business and not compassionate enough. It is like a malevolent parents who put enormous mental pressure on their offsprings and turned around by questioning and censuring why the offsprings are too independent and more successful than they are thus unnatural and ungodly. http://blog.chinadaily.com.cn/home.php?mod=space&uid=885566&do=blog&classid=579&view=meTHE AGONY AND CHALLENGES 21ST CENTURY(A) Based on 2010 Survey :There are about 54 Million Huaren. Contributing almost 80% of direct Investments into Motherland China cumulative by 2010.The early Qing Dynasty during Kangsi Period saw the greatest economic, military and commercial success that rival the Tang Dynasty, BUT its lattter Qing emperors rule were chaotic. It is marked by palace revolts, infighting, unbridled corruption, delapidated infrastructure, antiquated defense, opium addiction, and marginal food and water security.Ming Dynasty migrants are rich merchant class, these latter Qing migrants are economic migrants seeking to overcome starvation at home and getting away from Western (including Japanese) initiated armed aggression to colonize China.These poor migrants were mostly from the southen coastal areas such as Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu areas. Taiwan has about 40% while Hong Kong and Singapore made up of about 15% of the total overseas Chinese.This explains the prominence of Cantonese and Fujian dialects among overseas Chinese.The early migrants were used as unskilled laborers in mining and railroad construction ( Malaysia, Australia, USA, & Canada). Singapore are made up of stevedore and port workers. Myanmar ( former Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia were merchants of grains, bird's nest, pearl and gems. Philippines were mostly banker merchant class as they broker all the Spanish Silver taken from Acapulco Mexico and exchanged it for silk, porcelain, tea, satin, and rosewood furnitures in the lucrative Galleon Trade bound for Europe thru Spain.This is how they started:Most Overseas Chinese were considered an inconvenient necessity. Owing to being hardworking and cheap, they were used for jobs nobody wanted. These jobs are as dangerous as setting explosive and digging earthwork into mountains for mining and railways. When construction is over they were used in laundry shops and restaurants. This discrimination lasted well into the 1980s in some countries. For security and sense of identity they usually live in Chinatown ghettos.Chinese delivery workersThe Falling Qing Dynasty, the Chinese civil war that followed, the Humiliation of China by United Forces of Europe and USA and the Japanese Invasion in the 1930s lead to a weak, sickly, cheap and expendable Chinese image <negative Soft Power>. Discriminating Laws targeting Chinese in general were made in Europe, Australia, USA, and Canada while their Southeast Asian client states followed suit with the exception of Thailand, Laos, and Sri Lanka. In the Philippines they still levy head tax on some Chinese who were trap between being recognized as Taiwanese or Chinese.This leaves no other choice for overseas Chinese to be pre-occupied with being professional doctors, accountant or engineers if not merchants.Periodic Massacre of Overseas Chinese Occurs and the latest ones in the 20th Century were :(A) 1965 in Malaysia as a result of expelling Singapore from Federation of Malaya. Malaysians and their former British lords cannot risk having Hon. Lee Kwan Yew become the Prime Minister so they expelled Singapore from the Federation;(B) 1965 in Indonesia was an offshoot of Instability within Indonesia where almost the entire senior military personnel were assassinated at Lubang Buaya and the Chinese were scapegoats as Communist provocateurs;(C) 1998 AGAIN in Indonesia --the most brutal so far. It was reported to have Military involvement in order to create chaos as an excuse for attempted Coup d'etat. Murder and brutal rape with objects have been recorded by Third Party Institutions.How can a minute 1% Chinese population casue instability in Indonesia < The largest Muslim population in the World?>... WHY ?UNITED NATIONS, USA, U.K. TAIWAN. CHINA KNOWS. but remain largely silent.Our Leader Jiang ZeMin personally went to see President B.J.Habibie and President Lee Teng Hui (李登輝) of Taiwan threathen to withdraw their investments there and sent 2 Evergreen Airbus to evacuate victims. The reports gathered by USA, UK and many other countries pointed to former Suharto's son in law, Lt. General Prabowo Subianto as initiator of this massacre. It was reported that he tried to stage the chaos as an excuse to move his troops into Jakarta on a failed Coup d'etat. His father was the Chief oF Staff of the Armed Forces. He controlled Kompassus, the ultra Elite Special Forces <trained by USA at Fort Benning Georgia> that already massacre a large population within their own country trying to be independent, East Timor. He ran for Vice -presidency and failed,Now he is running for the 2014 Presidential election.Silence and inaction makes U.K. and League of Nations as guilty as Nazi Germany for allowing the world's worst man made calamity to Happen...With so much Huaren gives back to China and Taiwan, Huaren in Indonesia pleads for assistance like a left over child who continues to love China.PLEASE HELP BY APPEAL TO Hon. Ban-ki Moon who is a China Daily Blogger.

China Nets 60 Models for Working Illegally....
Compliments of: Fashionista May 13,2014 (via AOL news)Report: Over 60 foreign models arrested in China over the weekendUndocumented Models now....undocumented English teachers next ?...beware...WHY ? WHY NOT? <Huaren invites comments>By: Fashionista Report: Over 60 foreign models arrested in China over the weekendAt the time of reporting, four models were arrested and about another 60 were in custody; most will probably be deported. The models who have been arrested have not been given a release date; our source says the earliest reported date is May 23. There are also reports of models arrested in Guangzhou, near Hong Kong, who have given out addresses of model apartments in an effort to be cooperative. Our source in China says that models who have not been arrested are advising one another not to open their doors to strangers, not to answer phones and not to turn on the lights in their apartments at night. Additionally, we hear that officials are stopping any foreigners who look like models in the street and demanding work papers. Models have been advised to hide comp cards while out - if they even go on castings at all, which they have also been advised against. Some agencies have moved their models to Hong Kong, where it is easier to get a work permit, or to hotels where they are to behave as tourists. Many models frequently find themselves abroad on tourist visas. According to a source at the Model Alliance, a tourist visa is easier to obtain than an entertainment visa, under which models could legally work. Our source in China, who has been there for eight years, explains that China does not have a work visa category specifically for models. As a result, the process of applying for a work visa requires a greater amount of effort and time - at least two months' worth - on the parts of both the agency and the model. Because of this, agencies ask that models travel under a tourist visa, even going so far as to provide the model with a fake "I'm visiting my friend so-and-so" letter to get it. The problem is that it is illegal to work under a tourist visa in many countries, including China. And this isn't limited to the Asian market. According to our source at the Model Alliance, many models here in the United States are also working illegally under tourist visas. China, of course, is an important fashion market. These arrests happened just one day before Michael Kors staged his "Jet Set Experience" runway in Shanghai on May 9; Burberry also staged a runway show there in April.
IN HONOR of ALL THE MOTHERS IN MY LIFE
Picto-History of 4 Generations of Huaren's Maternal AncestryAgainst ALL ODDS.....my Maternal Grandmother got my Maternal Grandfather to Uproot her family from China to SouthEast Asia. The family Maritime trade from Fujian China to Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the Philippines was thriving and prosperous but the Spectre of War initiated by the Japanese Imperial Forces in Manchuria in the 1920's had created Havoc in China. Banditry, Kidnapping, drugs, Prostitution and epidemic were common place in China and not a place to raise her children. As tough as a tigress she even brought with her a concubine for him and left life as she knew it into uncharted territories.My Second GrandmotherAfter the 2nd World War. Life as Chinese knew it changed drastically. Being Overseas Chinese and Fujianese, we were Kuomintangs that fought the Japanese but lost the homeland in the civil war.The Western Alliance applied a Bamboo curtain to starve Communist China into submission with the Classic Embargo gambit.All of a sudden Chinese of any color were discriminated as the communist brush were painted across the board. Overseas Chinese became a pariah in many places in Asia and still felt in many places in Asia. Discriminatory immigration ruling were common in ALL places. The Australian called it YELLOW FEVER that needed to be controlled. Several Years ago Australian Pauline Hanson wanted the Chinese immigrants'money but legislate exclusion reminisce of the White Australian Policy. Many Chinese forgot that Australia was built over the corpse of aborigines by a legions of endentured criminals exiled off from UK to Australia, thus the term POMMY b**t**ds (Prisoners of her Majesty)Forget that we fought Japan to the death but now USA was allied with Japan against China and Taiwan became a minor compliant participant. The effects of USA muscling Taiwan (island about the land mass of Rhode Island) as TOTAL continental China in the United Nation festered until today. Like, The 1949 San Francisco Accord that absolved Japan of ANY and ALL kinds REPARATION for War damages as this would have strengthened Communist China whose entire Eastern Central Southern and Northeastern China was devastated by the War. Daioyu became Senkaku which was BOUGHT by a private Japanese citizen then was sold to the government of Japan a few years ago was perhaps a set up by Japan to contain China who is flexing its muscle. There was Laws of the Sea of United Nations (UNCLOS) also favored the Philippines as Taiwan would not stand in the way of another USA ally (Philippines) whose Subic and Clark military bases are nuclear weapons capable. Then, No one knew that the South China Seas (or the West Philippine Seas as Philippines would have called it) that it held one of the richest oil reserves in the world. Thanks to Satellite geophysical imagery.Mother then..when she was youngerMy First English Teacher as she enunciate the Advertisement along the Highway taking me to school.... Coca Cola, Colgate, Pepsi Cola, Palmolive, Esso, Caltex, Church, Street.as she is now in retiremnent and playing MahjongThen there were the Mothers that really are Tigress in many aspectsEven the Caucasian ones...once from the Western reaches of the Mongol Empire had certain Asian hematology in them.Then the seeds propagated to North America by air as the Native American Indians( First Nations) did by Land eons ago, whom Christopher Columbus "discovered". But this time The Chinese Immigrants brings with them gold and not in search of. Canadian passports was C$ 120,000 per family in the 2000 period until it was clammed down recently.Then The Modern Role Reversal in the Best Tradition of the male SeahorsesLife is Good....at The Shanghai Bund May 2014and the world is made by legions of MOTHERS that rocks the Cradle and held in high regards in the hearts of ALL MEN/WOMEN.HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
