Singapore stock calls for 26 January 2017


A leopard won't change its spots. Bill Clinton was caught by Hillary again.

Hillary caught Bill ogling at Ivanka.  Bill is still as horny as before. Hahaha!

USA may withdraw from UN because Trump wanna cut costs by not paying for membership.

http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0124/c90000-9170716.html

Trump is trying to cut costs for USA by withdrawing from UN.  This shows that USA is on the brink of running out of money.  Once confidence in USD collapses, it will expedite the collapse of USA too.  USA will reach the debt limit in March 2017 and the congress has to approve a higher debt limit or USA will go bankrupt in March 2017.

China is preparing for confrontation with USA with its latest D-41 missiles.

http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0125/c90000-9171195.html

China has begun deploying the latest D-41 missiles which can target USA homeland.  USA has fought many wars but never one on its own land.  The way to win the war is to bring the war to USA homeland for its citizens to see the horrendous outcome.  Then the citizens will blame USA for meddling in South China Sea affairs.

SG tanks are coming home for CNY!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/detained-terrex-vehicles-will-be-returned-to-singapore-mfa-110556849.html

Look like our government has agreed to the 2 conditions imposed by China in exchange for our SG tanks.  Anyway, it's a good news that our SG tanks are coming back.

War is looming in South China Sea!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/trump-white-house-vows-stop-china-taking-south-030058387.html

If Trump persists in having his own way, there will be a war in SCS.  A war in SCS is detrimental to international trades as USD$5t worth of goods go through SCS every year.

Trump terminates TPP officially.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/23/us/politics/tpp-trump-trade-nafta.html?_r=0

This is not unexpected as Trump and Hillary both disapproved TPP previously.  Only those countries with unrealistic hope are disappointed because they refused to heed Trump's disapproval and insisted on TPP.

Singapore stock calls for 20 January 2017


USA is increasing tension between Taiwan and China.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/01/19/taiw-j19.html

If USA approves military base in Taiwan, it means that USA doesn't recognise the one-China policy or UN resolution 2758.  This action will cause China to cut tie with USA and also prompt China to retake Taiwan by military force.  This world is definitely better without USA.

China train freight had reached London for the first time.

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-38654176

China can transport cargoes to London without passing through Singapore for the first time by using train freight instead of sea freight.  Sea freight will take 45 days while train freight will take only 18 days.  Kudos to China for the one belt one road initiative!

A Japanese hotel operator is helping the Japanese government to whitewash its historical crimes.

http://english.cri.cn/12394/2017/01/17/4381s949934.htm

All the Japanese war crimes are archived in UNESCO documentary and the Japanese government cannot lie to the whole world except its own citizens.  This is the reason why the world keeps insisting that Japan must apologize for WW2 atrocities because Japan keeps whitewashing the historical facts.

Do not buy Made-In-China food products!

China factories are producing fake branded food products.  Better to be safe than sorry.  Do not buy made in china food products.

China warns Trump again!

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/beijing-off-gloves-trump-continues-taiwan-china-daily-032357952.html

Trump will destroy USA because UN won't support USA due to UN resolution 2758.

Singapore stock calls for 16 January 2017


China media told it all about the seizure of SG tanks!

What SG government didn't tell its citizens, the China media told it all.

SG broke its promise not to train in Taiwan anymore in 2009 and 2012.  China has stated clearly that it won't return SG tanks unless we agree to 2 conditions.

Is the starlight exercise in Taiwan really due to our land constraints in SG?

http://news.asiaone.com/news/asian-opinions/no-reason-spore-stop-military-training-taiwan

China had offered its Hainan island to SG for our military exercises but our PM rejected it.  Therefore, we cannot keep saying that we have to conduct military exercises in Taiwan due to our land constraints in SG because it doesn't make sense anymore.

A cool job with high pay!

Too bad we're stuck in a small red dot! Arrggghhhh!

Is USA willing to play second fiddle to China in AIIB?

http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0116/c90000-9167343.html

The later you join the AIIB, the lesser clout you will have in AIIB.  Therefore, USA will only play second fiddle to China in AIIB as it is a late comer.  AIIB is spearheaded by China and China will be the chair in AIIB.  Can USA take the insult to be in a supporting role instead of the leading role?

Vietnam forsakes USA and deflects to China after Philippines.

http://en.people.cn/n3/2017/0116/c90000-9167323.html

As we stated in our previous post, USA would alienate itself in South China Sea (SCS).  2 claimants have agreed to bilateral settlements with China without USA involvement.  Therefore, non-claimants like USA, Japan and SG have no right but to remain silent over the SCS issue.

If China expedites the one belt one road initiatives, SG will collapse at a rapid rate than we will imagine.

Singapore future is sealed!

http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/china-projects-malaysia-hit-singapore

We've been warning about this in our posting.  This bleak outcome will come.  It is a matter of when, not if.  SG future is cast in iron already as China has already spent so much for the one belt one road initiative.

OMG! Trump says he won't commit to one-China policy!

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/trump-suggests-he-could-lift-russia-sanctions-wont-commit-one-china-policy-1601029

UN recognises the one-China policy but Trump doesn't want to recognise it.  There will be serious repercussions when Trump doesn't commit to the one-China policy after his inauguration.

There will be more trade wars between USA & China and China will oppose USA in UN by vetoing USA proposition.

USA is building up its military tanks in Poland.

Here we go again!  Tension continues to rise in EU because of USA.  This is like USA preparation for a war against Russia with its tank buildup.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/12/doubts-over-biggest-us-deployment-in-europe-since-cold-war-under-trump

Russia views it as a serious threat and will definitely retaliate in its own way.

USA is also creating tension in Israel and Palestine by moving its US embassy to a sensitive location, Jerusalem.

http://edition.cnn.com/2017/01/10/politics/trump-israel-embassy/

The world is really better without USA!
