Xinhua Commentary: Seoul’s Blind Pro-U.S. Diplomacy Escalates Regional Tensions-Xinhua! (30.4.2023)

However, to the disappointment of South Korean entrepreneurs, Yoon seemed to have made little progress in persuading the United States to reduce the negative impact of the two acts on South Korean companies.

“With regard to the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS and Science Act that were the core agenda (in the Yoon-Biden meeting), (Yoon) has not protected our industry and companies at all,” Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the main opposition Democratic Party, said at a party meeting on Friday.

Seoul’s blind pro-U.S. diplomacy even at the cost of its own national interests has fueled concerns among South Koreans.

“The worry is that (South Korea) is rushing into a situation where (the country) has to depend on the United States for everything,” Kyunghyang Shinmun newspaper said in an editorial on Thursday.

The editorial warned that South Korea was losing its diplomatic and security autonomy as it would be more difficult for Seoul to reject any demand from Washington.

“American Pie” only belongs to America; for others, it is nothing but pie in the sky.

Chinese Gold Miners Memorial Garden Opens in New Zealand! (30.4.2023)

The project shows a deep-seated respect for the history of Ross and the early settlers, who included the Chinese gold miners of the 1860s, said Lash, who also expressed gratitude to the Chinese community for supporting the project.

“The memorial is dedicated to all those Chinese pioneers before us who made this place their home,” said Steven Wong, president of the New Zealand Chinese History and Culture Association and chairman of the Federation of the Chinese Association of New Zealand.

Wong said his great grandfather came to New Zealand with his brother during the gold mining period in the 1860s, and that his family’s stories reflect the history of the West Coast gold rush in New Zealand, which prompted the creation of Ross Township in 1865.

Confronting Modern Russia’s “Trotskyite” Anti-Gay Rhetoric! (29.4.2023)

Modern Russia cannot establish the dialectical absurdity which suggests its policy of openly discriminating against (and attempting to ideologically and physically ‘annihilate’) the LGBTQN+ Community – equates to ‘preserving’ and ‘respecting’ cultural diversity – whilst somehow being tantamount to representing an act of ‘anti-fascism’! Indeed, should such a disrespectful and destructive attitude be allowed to prevail, this the establishment of the very ‘essence’ of fascism! I would say this modern Russian attitude is a typical ‘Trotskyite’ attempt at manipulating the political left into passively accepting typical right-wing tropes of understanding and behaviour! Disagreeing with the concept of ‘gayness’ should not be confused with removing the ‘right’ of that community to exist!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Moscow Anarchist “Dmitry Petrov” (Дмитрий Петров) Killed Near Bakhmut! (29.4.2023)

In Ukraine, Moscow Anarchist – Dmitry Petrov (Дмитрий Петров) – died in a battle fought near Bakhmut! He died fighting for the Neo-Nazi Ukrainian Cause. This what is known about his life:

In the battle near Bakhmut, a well-known Moscow Anarchist died fighting on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as part of the Right Sector (a US-backed extremist organisation “Banned” in Russia). His name is “Dmitry Petrov” (Дмитрий Петров). After his death, his Comrades-in-Arms published his Obituary – which explained that he was behind the Anarchist (Militant) Organization – that carried out sabotage in Russia!

Neo-Nazi Ukraine: Western-Trained “Maidan” Special Forces Show What They Have Learned! (28.4.2023)

Within the forests of West Ukraine the NKVD reported finding (hidden) weapons and ammunition caches originating from the US and UK! Joseph Stalin chose to not act on this apparent subterfuge – but to continue to honour the ‘alliance’ as the Soviet Red Army pursued its own path toward Berlin! The Nep-Nazis again rose-up in Hungary in 1956 – and the US and UK referred to this outbreak of ‘Hitlerism’ as ‘freedom-fighting’ (granting thousands of these criminals political asylum in the West – including the Boxer ‘Joe Bugner’ in the UK)! Neo-Nazis again rose-up in Czechoslovakia in 1968 – and the Soviet Red Army, from generation to generation, successfully applied its Marxist-Leninist education and ‘destroyed’ each new attempt of Hitler rising from his grave!

Economic Watch: More Lenders Could be at Risk of Failure in US Banking Turmoil! (28.4.2023)

U.S. banking turmoil is not over yet, and it’s expected that a large-scale restructuring would take place in the U.S. banking sector, said Tianyang Wang, associate professor in the Department of Finance and Real Estate at Colorado State University.Many medium-sized and small banks won’t survive the loss of deposits and some of them have to be acquired by big banks at low prices, said Wang during a recent webinar.U.S. banks are paying more to hold on to deposits, setting aside more reserves for potential loan losses in the event of a potential recession, and are now more focused on building capital rather than returning it to shareholders in the form of dividends and buybacks, said a research note by Swiss banking giant UBS.The highly anticipated Q1 results from U.S. banks did not raise any new red flags about stresses in the banking system, largely putting to rest concerns about systemic risks, said the UBS.The UBS said it remains least preferred on financials stocks and continues to expect guidance and estimates to trend lower in the coming quarters as deposit pricing issues become more apparent and as the economy weakens.
