USA got away with fabricating false intelligence about IRAQ in possession of WMDs and attacked Iraq illegally without UN mandate.
USA is doing it again with Syria because it doesn't provide concrete proof about Syria's preparation of a chemical attack.

The USA has viewed China as a formidable force that it has no choice but to engage in a discussion with China. The USA won't waste its time for such meeting if the USA didn't view China as an equitable country. This has been the USA mode of operandi.
Therefore, China should make full use of this opportunity to seal any agreements and deals with USA since it has bargaining power now.

Will noble group's credit extension trigger a credit default swap payout?
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/noble-groups-2-billion-loan-185219636.html
Credit default swap is tantamount to an insurance against a default. When there is a credit event, the buyer of CDS will get a payout from the seller. If this credit extension to noble represents a credit event, the buyers of CDS will get payouts on the company's $5b debt.
Basically, the CDS doesn't affect the underlying shares because CDS market is largely unregulated. If there is a default, you'll get the par value of your CDS as a buyer. A buyer will have to pay an "insurance premium" to the seller for the CDS periodically for the risk transfer and is entitled to an "insurance payout" when there is a credit event.

USA destroyer collision was due to blatant flouting of international maritime law.
USA destroyer collided with a container ship because it flouted the international maritime law. USA destroyer suffered heavy damages on its right side (starboard) as it collided with the left side (port) of the container ship.
Anyone with a power craft boat licence will know that one cannot approach another vessel on its left side (port). The right side (starboard) is designated with a GREEN light and the left side (port) is designated with a RED light. When you see that your vessel is navigating towards a RED light (port) of another vessel, you should slow down or even stop. Any vessel has to be mindful of its starboard (right side) and monitor any vessel approaching from its right.
Obviously, USA destroyer breached this international maritime law in the name of freedom of navigation and collided with the container ship. A normal radar will show the direction, speed and trajectory of another vessel. Therefore, the captain will definitely know that his vessel is approaching on the starboard or port of another vessel and any activity on its own starboard.
Shame on you, USA!

Why is Lee Kuan Yew's house or will no longer a family affair!
Lee Kuan Yew's house or will is no longer a family affair for a simple reason despite PM Lee's assertion.
Why?
It used to be a family affair until PM Lee set up a ministerial committee to handle his "family affair".
When you use parliament or set up a ministerial committee to handle or take charge of something, it becomes a public or national issue because you are basically using our national resources to resolve the matter.
You cannot use our national resources to handle or resolve your private or family affair and still proclaim it to be a personal or family issue.
This is setting a dangerous precedent for our future PMs and we don't think this is right and therefore strongly oppose this.
If there's a doubt about the veracity of the will, please contest it in court with your own resources and not use our national resources. Then you will have the right to proclaim this to be a family affair.
Lee Hsien Yang will be leaving Singapore for fear of retaliation from PM Lee, his elder brother.

Singapore had repented because of Japan's public expression to join the BRI and was rejected by China. Singapore knew that it couldn't support Japan anymore after seeing Japan being snubbed by China unless SG wanted to be ostracized completely by China.

Furthermore, HK has just joined AIIB. SG has always been looking at HK as a direct competitor in this region as HK is a much bigger financial hub than SG. HK will be able to capitalize on its financial expertise to provide financial assistance to the BRI project through AIIB which SG is also targeting.

Russia has deployed K-300P bastion missiles on Kuril Islands.
http://www.bestchinanews.com/Military/7271.html
It was reported that Russia deployed K-300P bastion missiles on the Kuril Islands after Japan received its first F35 fighter plane. This type of missile can fly at 2.5mach and the missile system will usually fire 2 missiles at around the same time. Once one missile hits the target, the other missile will search for the next target.
Kuril islands are very near to Hokkaido and these bastion missiles will definitely put Japan on constant alert.

What a joke! Singapore to help bankroll China's global ambitions.
https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/singapore-offers-help-bankroll-chinas-090659539.html
Let's face it. Singapore needs China more than China needs Singapore. China can secure its goods and oil without going through SG already.
China has more money than SG but SG wants to help finance China's BRI. Furthermore, AIIB is always there to help finance BRI for other governments. Therefore, I don't see how SG can compete with AIIB and other local banks. SG is trying to paint a beautiful picture between SG and China but the truth deviates far from the news.
As long as we've a USA naval base and P8A plane in sg, China will NEVER trust SG. If we want to gain China's trust, we'll need to start to purchase China-made military weapons but this move would anger the USA.

Why is China going to the moon?
The moon has an abundance of Helium 3 which can be used as a fuel for clean energy.
The most efficient energy technology now is nuclear fission but it will produce deadly radiation and nuclear waste. However, there is a better alternative which is nuclear fusion and it is the same fusion process as the sun.
Nuclear fusion requires Helium 3 as the fuel or power source and the fusion technology produces no radiation and waste. It is often touted as the clean energy technology.

China wants to explore the moon for Helium 3 mining and Alien discovery projects.

Why did Middle Eastern Countries cut diplomatic ties with Qatar?
Middle Eastern Countries cut diplomatic ties with Qatar because Qatar paid ISIS US$30b ransom for the release of its 26 princes. There was an unconfirmed news about the abduction of 26 princes.
26 princes went out for a hunting trip and got abducted by ISIS and Qatar paid US$30b ransom for the princes' release. This angered its neighbouring countries as ISIS might kidnap their princes too because ISIS was successful in getting Qatar to pay. The US$30b ransom will be a big boost to ISIS because it has enough money to carry out more and bigger terrorist activities now.
Saudi will sell oil to China in Yuan!

This is a bone-breaking deal that will hurt the USD reserve currency status. USD will weaken when more international tradings are done in non-USD currency.
China is definitely the biggest winner as it gets more price discounts and also no currency exchange losses.

Thus, it is not surprising for China to reject Japan's interest and Japan really deserves a tight slap for its inane behaviour.
Last but not least, China has also downgraded the security dialogue by sending a non-ministerial and low-ranking personnel to attend this summit in Singapore.

Global warming is a threat to humanity but USA President Trump doesn't care.
The withdrawal from the Paris climate pact by USA is definitely a setback for the world. The Paris climate pact is supposed to control the temperature rise within 2 degree celsius from pre-industrial era.
The impact of global warming can be felt by our generation now. Just look at the warmer weather in Alaska. The Alaskan mosquitoes are breeding faster and living longer now compared to the past.
These mosquitoes are spreading because they're slowly killing other animals living in the vicinity. As it gets harder for the mosquitoes to feed on blood from other animals, the mosquitoes are targeting humans now.
The Alaskan mosquitoes are much bigger than other types of mosquitoes.

OMG! There is a huge shortage of Renminbi now! - Part 2
What are the implications for a rising Renminbi?
By right, the Moody's downgrade of China's credit rating would cause Renminbi to depreciate because more investors would stay away from China resulting in lesser capital inflows and more outflows. However, the opposite happened because of intervention by the China government. The rising Renminbi will affect a few things in the world because China is the 2nd largest economy.
The China property market will start to damper because it becomes more expensive for foreign investors to invest in properties due to unfavourable exchange rates. The burgeoning debt situation will also be reduced spontaneously because of a stronger Renminbi, especially for the foreign currency denominated debts. Foreign companies in China and those trading with China will also start to stock up on Renminbi because of this shortage.
All in all, the rising Renminbi will cause the China government to increase interest rates to reduce the demand and keep the yuan in China. Therefore, fixed income fund manager will be monitoring the spreads between Hibor & Shibor for any arbitrage opportunities.

Just take a look at the charts for the past few days.
The overnight CNH Hibor has surged from 5.35% to 42.8% now which shows that there is a huge shortage of Chinese yuan now. This means that the China government has succeeded in stamping the capital outflow and attracted foreign investors to stock up on yuan.
The HK-China bond trading link has also helped to boost the Chinese yuan demand.
