The wind is blowing and the mountain is not moved

December 6th, 2010  / Author: Pia Fields

What the picture is! What can wind do in front of a mountain? “The wind is blowing and the mountain is not moved” is a title of an official comment in the most important Chinese Newspaper, People’s daily. The article discussed the relationship between China and Japan after a Chinese captain was released by Japanese government.

By seeing the title my first thinking was that the wind must mean Japan and the mountain must represent China. Japan could not shake China. When I read the details in the article I was touched. Mountain actually meant the friendship between the Chinese and Japanese. Chinese official newspaper published such an article when the Chinese were still angry about their captain was detained. It proved that the Chinese government determined to maintain peace in Asian. I then thought wind meant the Chinese disfavor regarding Japan. Now I realized that wind also meant the disturbance from the outside world.

In the last few years China did a lot of work to united Asian countries. They hope to set up an alliance just like European did and have their own currency in Asian to substitute U.S dollar. That will seriously challenge dollars dominated position in the world. The Unite States there for involves to Asian fairs and disturbs the Chinese plan. We contact all of the countries that have border disputes with the Chinese and make that as an issue. We set the Chinese as our enemy and declare it openly that we have to protect our benefit in the Far East. We arranged military exercises again and again. We finally create crises there.

Nine years ago when U.S government changed its target and created a war in Iraq I was confused. My sister reminded me that Saddam Jose suggested oil exported countries to accept Europe currency but not U.S dollar. That is why United States had to overthrow Saddam. The picture is clearer now. Defending freedom and democracy is just an excuse. The real reason relates to economic benefit. American has to maintain dollar as a dominated national currency. What an advantage we get when we can exchange for real products with paper.

As a citizen who immigrated to this country for thirty years I hope the United States is strong. That is why I am so worried for the messes that we confront. However, having tough time doesn’t mean that we create wars to maintain dollars’ dominated position. The products we gain from the foreigners have blood we can’t let blood dye our green bills as well.

We are in a bad situation but we are not in a desperate situation. The land and resource we have for average person is more than most countries in this world. We can make a lot of changes for passing though our difficulties. Such as:

Give citizenship to foreigners who are willing to invest in this country, including investments in our real estate market. Government’s stimulate fund should use to build retirement facilities and factories facilities. Using those government own properties we can encourage early retirement and built up light industries business. We can also use the income from the property to partially substitute social security payments and solve welfare problems.

It is said 60% of government expense are used for social security, Medicare and Medicaid payments. In New York City government might pay $1,300 to rents a one bed room apartment for a mother and son. Combining their regular expense the government has to spend more than $2,000 a month for them. What makes them deserve that kind of long term free lunch? If we build some houses and factory facilities in outside of New York City we can let the mother and son live there and let either of them work there. In that way we can save lot of money and provide low cost labor for our factories as well.

We can force our business move back to this country by increasing imported taxes.
We can share government jobs and let taxpayers funds support as many as families.
We can also partially close our market. If we believe that consumption gives the energy to our economic we should keep those energies when our economic is weak. Creating conflicts in this world for maintaining dollars’ dominated position violate justice. Printing dollars violate justice. Closing our market is a legal action particular when we have no choice.

Again we still have many ways to solve our financial problems. We should not, for our benefits, destroy peace in our global. That sin is too heavy to be carried.

Sit down and Negotiate

December 5th, 2010  / Author: Pia Fields

“Sit down and negotiate” is a suggestion from the Chinese to solve the crisis in Korea. Unfortunately, being back up by the United States, North Korea and Japan refused to do it.

In the end of November of 2010, U.S had a four days military exercise with South Korea. Right after that U.s had another eight days military exercise with Japan. In the exercise they sent out four hundred airplanes and 60 military ships. They then had another exercise in some day of December. Reason that North Korea bombed North Korea exactly because they made too many military exercises near their borders.

We can picture things happen in the street like this: three people who claim that they are good guys and surround a bad guy. They constantly waving fits and laughing at the bad guy’s face. If the bad guy lost control and fight back, we cannot say that it is entirely the bad guy’s fault. Can’t we? This is what the American do in Asian. United some people and make provocations in front of another country’s door. Now we telling Japan and Korea don’t sit down to make any negotiations.

With the excuse of catching Ben Latin we sent troop to Afghan. Taliban once asked for negotiation and agreed to send Ben Latin to the United Nations. Their suggestion was ignored by the United States then. Ten years after today, after losing so many lives and spent so much fund in the war Afghan government has to sit down and talk with Taliban. Suddam Jose asked for negotiation as well. We rejected him and excused him. So many years after he died his people still fight for him. We have no way to stop the conflicts there. Now, Iraq government has no choice but sits down and talks with its opponents. American got no benefit from these two wars except the Warmongers. We don’t mind that a war will last there forever because the bombs are not hitting our homeland. What a dirty thing we are doing.

This time things are little different. Right after the conflict occurring in Korean the United States reached the highest trade deal in history with Korean. It relates to 25,000 American cars and trucks importing to Korea in the next 8 years. It is said U. S will get 70,000 jobs back for that deal. American taxpayers lost money in Korea war, Vietnam War Iraq war and Afghanist war. Now we finally get benefits. Our provocations give warmonger profits and we have jobs as well.

Japan and Korea believe being back up by the United State and showing all those airplanes and military ships in Yellow sea they will get what they want. I hope they understand one thing: military exercises create provoke and cause wars. Bombs in the war can never reach the home land of the United States but will hit Soul and Tokyo. Lives in North Korea are not as valuable as democracy countries. Before they sink they will hit you back desperatly. There are so many people living in such a small places as Soul and Tokyo they cannot sustain modern war.

United States obviously is considering the Chinese as their enemy. South Korea so depend on the United States will offend the Chinese. The Chinese might prefer to keep North Korea because they don’t like to see a strong unite Korea that listens only to The United States. They might not only help North Korea to develop nuclear weapons they will help Iron as well. Pushing the Chinese to the other side will make the United State become a big loser. Since the United States considers the Chinese is their enemy, the Chinese has no choice but play in the role as an enemy. It is nothing wrong to be the enemy of a country that constantly creates wars in the world and rob the world by printing dollars. the U.S government will become the enemy of the whole world soon for they don’t like to see our world has peace. As American we should stop things happen before that.

A Fire in a Desert Where is Short of Water

December 4th, 2010  / Author: Pia Fields

In Dec, 2nd, 2010, a fire rampaged through the Carmel forest near Haifa, Israel’s third-large city where has 265,000 populations. The blaze was broke from a small brush and it was considered a suspicious arson. Forty-one people were died and 17,000 people were evacuated from towns and villages. Haifa has 14% of Israel’s forest and planting for decades Israel covers 7% of its land with forest. This fire was consider the worst forest fire in Israel’s history and created the deep national loss. In Dec 4th when I wrote this article the fire is still out of control.
This suspicious fire was occurred two days after Iron nuclear scientists was died and wounded in bombing cars. That might be an answer from revengeful terrorists. Iron has lost 13 of those nuclear experts already.You killed their nuclear experts and they give up the testing now. They just use gas and fire – weapon right next to them. We should not underestimate damages that fire might cause. In the beginning of 2010, fire once put Russian in a big trouble. In the last few years American’s lost from fire is lot more than any time when there were no wars of anti-terrorism. Authorities dear not admit that were terrorists’ attacks even though that was the reason.
Israel is located in a desert where short of water. I cannot imagine arsons are here and there in that country once a while. Light up a car fill with gas can set up good fire. You can stop people who carry bombs you cannot stop cars that carry gas. I said that for many times. Many attacks terrorist could do and had not been done not because our anti-terrorism wars are powerful but because the fighting is just start.
I put a warning here. Having nuclear weapon and having all those modern military weapons cannot make you unbeatable. The only way we should do is sit down and talk. Only people who purpose to create conflicts in this world don’t want to solve problems by negotiation. We have to keep an eye on them or they will create big lost for our global.
The fire still is burning after three days I wrote the above article. There is a good news that this fire is not a arson but caused by two young brothers. Terrorists are not that evil yet as what I thought. It is said Palestinian and Turk also sent out trucks to help to stop the fire. Anyway this is a good lesson for Israel. Weapon can’t give your home land security. The best way is to have a peaceful talk with your enemy and stop fight. If we can think in the position of our opponents we can find a point to settle things.

Ugly and Beautiful

Ugly and Beautiful

Some news was reported in the newspaper of 11/30/20100 giving us the feeling of ugly and beautiful.

News one reported by am New York: Top officials brand the whistle-blowing Wikileaks’ group “criminals” and “terrorists”. Argument from the other side said: the question remained whether Americans are entitled to information about the inner workings of their government. It is said Wikileaks is in England now and is charged as a rapist. Just one week ago Nobel’s peace prize was given to Wang Xiao Po and made the Western worlds protest the Chinese government for they mistreated their opponents. Now, we do as the Chinese do, practicing freedom and democracy with conditions — take the freedom away from our opponents by accusing them as terrorist or rapist.

News two: Two cars were bombed at the same time but in different places of Iran. One Iranian nuclear scientist was killed and another one was wounded. Iranian officials said the attacks were done by Israeli and were sponsored by U.S. This kind of murder as ugly as what the terrorists did. Terrorists will use the same dirty ways to take revenge including make Israel’s supporters pay for what Israel did — kill people when they are not prepared. So we have no choice but prepare — make our air travelers arise their hands and give them a good searching again.

News three: A young man in New York City jump to the subway track and saved a person’s life right before a train reaching the station. He said he just didn’t want to be delay. He hoped can start working in time that morning. This is a beautiful behavior that risking his own life to save the others and didn’t make that is a big deal. When he saw a person lose consciousness in the subway track, the first thought in his mind must be: a life needed me to save there.
I am wander how come, in this world, the difference is so huge: some one did beautiful things and doesn’t know that is beautiful and some one did ugly things and don’t think that is ugly.

BIP – Small Business Makes Big Achievement

November 30th, 2010  / Author: Pia Fields

In 2010, Nicolas set up a small business BIP produces some squinkies just like Beanie Babies and Zhu Zhu Pets . The price of his toys was 16 pieces for ten dollars. They have a few hundred kinds of different models and are the set of collection. In the beginning He was rejected by the big companies. He sent some samples to more than three hundred blog and get some referrals from them. he successfully got into the market finally. In the thanks giving of 2010, his products was sold out quickly. His small company Bip, has only 16 workers, gives us a big enlighten.
The Chinese economists believed that we should have different business structures in our society that exist as a pyramid. They don’t simply develop high tech. They keep traditional manufactures that create jobs as well. Please take a look for what we did in the United States.
Start from 1980s, we import household and office supplies from all over the world and give up most of our light industries. We did that because we believe high tech is more important for economic. We do have good development in IT fields. Huge fund was invested into the internet for just a concept or for some communication services. Google’s share price went up from about $85 to $ 800. We don’t care how many years we can have our investment back base on their dividend. After the Second World War, PE in the stocks usually was about 12 years. Today it takes 400 years to return the investments on some of our stocks. We don’t care about the traditional manufactures and create bulb in the stock market.
Now we have to face a reality that the economic index and stock index go up does not mean that the employment rate go up. Even today when we seriously short of jobs, when Obama thinking about create jobs the first thing he cares is green revolution – high tech research relate to new energy. He doesn’t realize that we need to rebuild our light industry to maintain jobs. For helping small businesses our government should construct low rent or free rental factory facilities for small businesses. We should schedule unemployed workers to work on there. I don’t know if my opinion is just a big talk until I read the achievement that Nicolas created. I know a small business can survive in our market and Americans can make low price products. That is exactly what I need to be sure. That means rebuilt our light industry is not just a dream. Our youths should step out to do it as well as our manufacturers. Our government should purchase things made in the United States first. Our high tech businesses should reinvest their charity funds to these kinds of light industry business. That is also help high tech companies themselves because people will purchase high tech products only when they have income.
