Go forth and multiply OH FATHER !

Nick Cannon, Elon Musk, Alec Baldwin and other celebrities who have fathered many children.

AMERICAN billionaire entrepreneur and Tesla chief executive Elon Musk, 51, made jaws drop several months ago when it was revealed that he secretly welcomed twins in November 2021, taking his kid count to nine.

The mother is Shivon Zilis, a 36-year-old Canadian project director at his Neuralink company.

The twins’ arrival came just weeks before Musk and his former partner, Canadian singer Grimes, welcomed a baby girl, Exa, via a surrogate in December 2021.

They also share a two-year-old son, X.

Musk already has five children with his first wife Justine Wilson, including Griffin, 18, and 16-yearold triplets Kai, Damian and Sax.

Another of their children, 18, legally changed her name to disassociate herself from Musk earlier this year.

In 2002, their first child, a boy, died at 10 weeks of sudden infant death syndrome.

Musk has strong opinions on increasing the birth rate.

At Wall Street Journal’s annual CEO Council in December last year, he stated that there are “not enough people” in the world.

In what seemed to be a response to his latest baby news, he tweeted: “Doing my best to help the underpopulation crisis. A collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilisation faces by far.”

He added in a follow-up tweet: “I hope you have big families and congrats to those who already do.”

Musk is ranked by Forbes as the world’s richest person with an estimated net worth of US$237.1bil (RM1.1tril).

He recently announced plans to “significantly” increase childcare benefits at his companies.

He tweeted: “Kids are worth it if at all possible.” Here are several celebrities sowing their seeds with wild abandon. 

OH FATHER!

Here are several celebrities sowing their seeds with wild abandon.

Nick Cannon, 41 Kid count: 10

Also sharing Musk’s fatherhood goals is American actor Nick Cannon, who chimed in after Musk’s tweet, saying: “Right there with you, my brother.”

Cannon has had kids with six different women, only one of whom he married but eventually divorced.

And none of them was an accident, he has claimed.

Cannon shares twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey, twins Zion and Zillion with DJ Abby De La Rosa.

In July, he and model Bre Tiesi welcomed their first child, Legendary Love, together.

On Sept 14, he and model Lanisha Cole welcomed daughter Onyx Ice Cole.

Cannon shares son Golden and daughter Powerful Queen with model Brittany Bell. On Oct 30, they welcomed their third – Cannon’s 10th – child, Rise Messiah.

He also fathered a son, Zen, with model Alyssa Scott, but the child died in December 2021 at five months old after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

After the tragic loss, Cannon, who has said that he does not feel monogamy is healthy, announced he would be celibate for a while and reportedly went for a vasectomy consultation.

Obviously, that was short-lived. You really cannot keep a man like Cannon down. At least, not until he turns 45, the age when he feels he “should chill”.

On the Big Tigger Morning Show, he got candid about what it is like to co-parent with multiple women.

Asked if “all the baby mamas get along”, he replied: “They don’t have to, they all get along with me.”

When the radio host brought up that Cannon takes maternity photos with each of the mothers, Cannon said he believes “everyone deserves that”.

“I don’t keep secrets. They know how I move. I multitask,” he added.

As for whether he sees any additional kids in his future, he quipped: “Isn’t there always? I just want to be responsible as a father... The best I can possibly be, and lean into it.

“I love children, but I wasn’t setting out to be Father Abraham, I just embrace it.”

On Instagram, Cannon jokingly hyped up his profile piece in a recent issue of Men’s Health magazine by posting: “We discuss that there is nothing more healthy than a virile man. Go forth and multiply.”

In the article itself, he opened up about how he stays present in each of his kids’ lives and takes immense pride in it.

He said: “Contrary to popular belief, I’m probably engaged throughout my children’s day, more often than the average adult can be. If I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I’m talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime.

“When I am (in the same city, I’m) driving my kids to school, making sure I pick them up.”

He added that he is present for their extracurricular activities. “I’m involved in everything - from coaching to having guitar lessons with my daughter every week.”

Alec Baldwin, 64 Kid count: Seven

The Baldwin bunch sure is getting bigger, with American actor Alec Baldwin and his yoga instructor wife Hilaria, 38, welcoming their seventh child, a girl, on Sept 24.

Ilaria Catalina Irena joins her siblings Carmen, nine, Rafael, seven, Leonardo, six, Romeo, four, Eduardo, two, and Maria, one (via surrogate).

Baldwin posted a clip of Maria on Instagram in April and captioned it: “People ask why. This is why. Being a parent is the ultimate journey.”

He also shares model-daughter Ireland Baldwin, 26, with his former wife, actress Kim Basinger.

The new baby comes at a stressful time for the sexagenarian, who has found himself embroiled in a wrongful death lawsuit.

In October last year, he accidentally misfired a prop gun on the set of western film Rust, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

At the time of the new pregnancy announcement in March, the couple told People magazine: “We have ‘somos un buen equipo’ engraved on our wedding bands.

“We say that to each other all the time at home – that we’re a good team.

“One of the most beautiful things our children have experienced with a big family is how the heart can grow with every new sibling.

“Our capacity to love continues to expand and we can’t wait to embrace our new little one this fall.”

Taylor Hanson, 39 Kid count: Seven

The American singer-musician and one-time teen heartthrob was the face of 1990s pop boy band Hanson, alongside his brothers Isaac, 41, and Zac, 36.

Today, the trio of young dads – who are the elder three of seven siblings – have 15 children between them.

Taylor has the most, having welcomed seven children – Ezra, 19, Penelope, 17, River, 15, Viggo, 13, Wilhelmina, nine, Indiana, three, and Maybellene, 18 months – with wife Natalie, 38.

But his notoriously prolific progeny will cease to increase.

He told ET Online: “We’ve all been incredibly blessed with amazing kids and families. I’ve always taken it one at a time, that led us to seven, so I’m just going to hold right now.”

For now, the group – best known for their catchy 1997 hit MMMBop – are celebrating 30 years together.

They released their latest album Red Green Blue in May, but have still managed to prioritise family life while on the road touring.

Taylor told People magazine: “The job of being a dad is to sacrifice everything you want for that kid.

“I may be in the middle of meeting some famous musician but, sorry, I’ve got to call my daughter and talk to her about her day.”

Eddie Murphy, 61 Kid count: 10

When it comes to quantity, the Hollywood star can tell everyone else to hold his beer.

Like Cannon, Murphy co-parents his whopping brood with five women.

He had two sons back to back with two then-girlfriends around the end of the 1980s – Eric, 33, with Paulette McNeely, and Christian, 31, with Tamara Hood.

Meanwhile, former wife Nicole Mitchell is the mother of five of his children: Bria, 32, Miles, 29, Shayne, 27, Zola, 22, and Bella, 20.

Murphy then fathered Angel, 15, with former Spice Girl and British singer Melanie Brown, and has a six-year-old girl Izzy and four-yearold son Max with his current fiancee, Australian model Paige Butcher, 43.

The comedian is used to getting split reactions when people learn he has 10 kids.

He quipped on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019: “Men look at me like, ‘He’s crazy. How much did that cost?’

In an interview with British newspaper The Mirror in 2021, he said his kids always come before his career, calling them the “centre of everything”.

He added: “The idea of being out there and doing three movies a year, that’s over... I realised that if you put your children first, you never make a bad decision.

“I am so blessed with my kids, I don’t have one bad seed. I don’t have any like, ‘Oh, you are the one.’

“My kids are so great, normal people and nobody is like the Hollywood jerk kid.”

Why we’re so shocked, bothered, by Nick Cannon’s growing family

 

SURPRISE! Or maybe not – Nick Cannon has welcomed another child, Rise Messiah Cannon, to his rapidly growing family – his 10th child, and third with Brittany Bell.

— Nick cannon/Instagram cannon with six of his 10 children.

“Another Blessing!!!” he announced in a lengthy Instagram post, which expressed gratitude for “a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable.”

Cannon, an actor, musician and TV host, has been making headlines for having multiple babies with different women in a short period of time, which he has said is “no accident”.

Each pregnancy was planned and intentional, and his relationships with the mothers of his children are healthy and consensual, Cannon says. Yet his choice to father these children has been treated as comedic fodder while raising a plethora of concerns.

Untraditional families exist all around us every day. But when it comes to a celebrity like Cannon, we tend to judge them more harshly.

Everyone has something to say, including fans, critics and even fellow stars like Vivica A. Fox (“I don’t like it,” she said in August. “The foundation of Black families, especially a strong father figure is needed.”)

“The public loves to express their opinions, because it makes them feel like part of the story,” says Donna Rockwell, a clinical psychologist and CEO and founder of Already Famous.

“When we see behavior outside the norm in the lives of celebrities, we shake our heads, pass judgement... and write it off as ‘typical’ celebrity entitlement.”

But does this make our judgements justified?

Is there a problem with Nick Cannon’s take on fatherhood?

When asked about his emotional involvement as a father, Cannon has insisted “if I’m not physically in the same city with my kids, I’m talking to them before they go to school via FaceTime and stuff. And then when I am, I’m driving my kids to school, making sure I pick them up”.

A quick scroll through his Instagram page exemplifies the love and pride he holds for his kids, and many of the mothers have praised Cannon’s presence.

This fixation on his family is unsurprising to Rockwell.

Any time someone in the public eye behaves in a way that deviates from the norm, like having many children from different households, “we as the public hang onto every detail” and treat it as gossip.

But aside from it being unconventional, some experts worry this dynamic is detrimental.

If his 10 kids, ages 11 and younger, live in different households, many wonder how Cannon can possibly be there, physically and emotionally, for each child.

Barbara La Pointe, a relationship coach who primarily works with families dealing with divorce and separation, worries Cannon is “unconsciously creating a legacy of generational trauma”.

Though there is less research on Cannon’s approach to fatherhood, studies have shown that a child’s emotional well-being is influenced by a secure relationship with their parents, as well as by the quality of that relationship.

In addition, relationship strategist Zakiya Knighten worries for his children’s mothers who, despite going into these relationships willingly, may also be at risk for higher stress levels and mental health problems. In a now-deleted Instagram story, one of Cannon’s partners said she had been awake for three days taking care of their baby, raising questions on social media about Cannon’s whereabouts.

Are we being too judgmental of Nick Cannon?

Contrary to popular belief, Cannon is not the first celebrity to father multiple children with different women.

Actor Clint Eastwood is thought to have eight known children with six different women, his daughter told The Sunday Times.

Similarly, Elon Musk has joked about “(helping) the underpopulation crisis” with his 10 children, two with singer Grimes, two with Shivon Zilis, an executive at Musk’s Neuralink, and six with his first wife, Justine Wilson.

The difference, however, is that Cannon proudly embraces his lifestyle of nonconventional fatherhood and rejects traditional monogamy, even challenging those who are skeptical.

“That’s a Eurocentric concept when you think about the ideas of you’re supposed to have this one person for the rest of your life,” Cannon said in August.

“I understand the institution of marriage if we go back to what that was about . ... I don’t have ownership of any of the mothers. We create families in the sense of we created a beautiful entity.”

It’s tempting to speculate about a phenomenon that makes little sense to many.

But, as Rockwell reminds, the reality of celebrity culture is that we only catch a glimpse of their personal lives.

Without knowing the intimate details, we as outsiders will never truly know how worrisome – or how functional – Cannon’s family of 10 actually is -

Low levels testosterone are not an inevitable part of ageing

 

Decreasing testosterone levels are not an inevitable part of ageing for men | The Star

Low levels of this hormone are not an inevitable part of ageing for men, but part of a syndrome that should be treated.

WHEN it comes to menopause, many people assume that only women will experience it.

But over the last few decades, there has been increasing recognition of a so-called “male menopause” or andropause, which generally refers to male androgen deficiency or testosterone deficiency syndrome.

Testosterone deficiency syndrome, also known as late onset hypogonadism, is a condition in which men do not produce enough testosterone, which is a major male hormone or androgen.

This results in psychological, emotional and sexual dysfunction, and may affect multiple organ systems, resulting in serious health consequences for the man.

In the past, it was thought that patients with testosterone deficiency syndrome were generally older men, but in fact, it can occur in men of different age groups, including young and middle-aged men.

Not limited by age

Testosterone plays a key role in male libido, muscle mass, and mental and physical strength.

Many middle-aged men might have various symptoms of testosterone deficiency, but they may not be aware of the cause or choose to blame it on other reasons, such as ageing.

Indeed, from another point of view, the term “andropause” is not the most accurate term for patients with testosterone deficiency, as decreased testosterone levels are not an inevitable consequence of ageing.

But it is worth noting that testosterone levels do generally decline with age, as older men tend to have lower blood testosterone levels.

Testosterone deficiency mostly occurs between the ages of 45 to 60, but according to the data, the proportion of older people will be higher.

For men aged 45 and over, nearly 40% are affected by testosterone deficiency syndrome.

As for men over 80 years old, up to half will have this syndrome.

You might ask, why are younger men affected by testosterone deficiency syndrome as well?

The younger trend of testosterone deficiency syndrome is usually related to diseases; the unhealthy lifestyle of young people, including poor diet, smoking, alcoholism and lack of exercise; and/or drug use, such as the abuse of painkillers.

Diseases that can affect testosterone levels include obesity, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high lipid (fat) levels, mental illness and AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome).

Signs and symptoms

Symptoms of testosterone deficiency include:

> Decreased libido or sexual drive

> Difficulty getting and maintaining an erection

> Difficulty concentrating and making decisions

> Increased body fat and muscle loss

> Loss of bone density

> Depression

> Irritability

> Anxiety

> Restlessness

> Poor work performance

> Impaired memory

> Inability to concentrate

> Fatigue

> Lack of stamina and physical strength

> Insomnia or sleepiness

> Loss of appetite

> Constipation

> Skin atrophy, and

> Lower back pain.

As for physical signs, there will be a decrease in muscle mass throughout the body; an increase in subcutaneous fat, resulting in the patient appearing fatter, especially around the abdomen; hair that begins to turn white and become sparse; teeth and body hair that start to fall off; and the shrinking of testicles; as well as signs of breast enlargement in some patients.

In addition to physical and emotional changes, testosterone deficiency can lead to the onset or exacerbation of various diseases.

When a man has low testosterone levels, there is a greater risk of heart disease, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol levels, osteoporosis, anaemia and dementia.

Diagnosis and treatment

In many cases, the diagnosis of testosterone deficiency in a patient must first be based on clinical manifestations and symptoms.

Then it is necessary to check whether the testosterone level is low.

If the patient’s symptoms only improve during treatment, it confirms that the patient has developed testosterone deficiency syndrome and needs testosterone replacement treatment.

The goal of testosterone replacement therapy is to improve the patient’s symptoms and normalise his testosterone levels.

As of now, there are two medically-proven testosterone treatments available in Malaysia.

One involves a gel preparation, while the other is injected.

The gel preparation is applied on the skin of the upper arms, shoulders, inner thighs or abdomen.

The testosterone is then absorbed through the skin into the body.

The patient should not bathe or shower within an hour of using the gel formulation to ensure that the testosterone is fully absorbed by the body. It should be used daily so that the patient’s testosterone levels are stable, similar to the physiological blood levels produced by the testes.

The use of gel preparations should usually be the first choice for patients.

Meanwhile, the other type is given by intramuscular injections every few weeks or months.

Depending on the frequency of injections, symptoms may fluctuate between each dose.

The gel formulation has fewer side effects and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

However, certain testosterone injections may cause side effects such as pulmonary microembolisms – these have not been approved by the US FDA so far.

Benefits and cautions

Testosterone replacement therapy serves to help improve body composition by building muscle and reducing fat mass, including total body and visceral fat.

It can also help improve insulin sensitivity, thereby addressing metabolic syndrome and reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.

In addition, it can improve the patient’s sexual function; mood, including symptoms of depression; and energy and quality of life.

In terms of disease, testosterone supplementation can improve anaemia, and reduce death from all causes, including heart disease.

Testosterone supplementation is not suitable for patients with prostate cancer, sleep apnoea or polycythaemia (where haematocrit or haemoglobin is increased in the blood).

Therefore, patients must have their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels checked prior to beginning testosterone replacement therapy.

According to some early research, the use of testosterone supplements appeared to promote prostate cancer; however, there is no evidence of this in the latest research.

Nevertheless, patients are advised to have their PSA levels checked regularly after they start taking testosterone.

During the course of treatment, the doctor will also regularly check the patient’s haemoglobin and haematocrit levels.

These blood tests will help to see whether the patient’s blood has thickened, as haemoglobin and blood cells are more prone to abnormal rises in level with certain types of injectable testosterone.

In general, changes due to the treatment will occur within three to six months after treatment has commenced.

Patients need to be aware that testosterone supplementation therapy is a lifelong treatment, and testosterone supplementation can lead to a decrease in the amount of testosterone naturally produced by the body.

Don’t ignore symptoms

It is important to reiterate that testosterone deficiency is not an inevitable phenomenon of ageing.

In short, when a man, especially an elderly man, experiences testosterone deficiency symptoms, different health problems may occur as a result.

Therefore, its existence must not be ignored.

It is recommended to seek professional advice from a doctor as soon as possible if you have symptoms of testosterone deficiency.

Get the right treatment to improve your health and quality of life.

The article is in both English & Chinese

作者 │ Aningo定居海外，独立评论员。

原文为英文，经过我本人的翻译，为大家呈现，马来西亚人如何看待中国的一篇文章。以下为中英对照版。

By a Malaysian:来自马来西亚人：

I'm from Malaysia. China has traded with Malaysia for 2000 years. In those years, they had been the world's biggest powers many times. Never once they sent troops to take our land. Admiral Zhenghe came to Malacca five times, in gigantic fleets, and a flagship eight times the size of Christopher Columbus' flagship, Santa Maria. He could have seized Malacca easily, but he did not. In 1511, the Portuguese came. In 1642, the Dutch came. In the 18th century the British came. We were colonised by each, one after another.

我来自马来西亚。中国与马来西亚的贸易已有2000年。在那些年里，它们曾多次成为世界上最大的强国。但他们从未派兵侵占我们的土地。海军上将郑和，曾五次乘坐巨型舰队来到马六甲，并且是哥伦布“圣玛丽亚”舰队的八倍大。他本来可以轻松地占领马六甲，但他没有。1511年，葡萄牙人来了。1642年，荷兰人来了。18世纪，英国人来了。然后我们接二连三地被他们殖民。

When China wanted spices from India, they traded with the Indians. When they wanted gems, they traded with the Persian. They didn't take lands. The only time China expanded beyond their current borders was in Yuan Dynasty, when Genghis and his descendants Ogedei Khan, Guyuk Khan & Kublai Khan conquered China, Mid Asia and Eastern Europe. But Yuan Dynasty, although being based in China, was a part of the Mongolian Empire.

当中国想要印度的香料时，他们与印度人进行贸易。当他们想要宝石时，他们与波斯人进行贸易。他们从不侵占土地。中国唯一一次扩张国界是在元朝，成吉思汗及其后代奥格代汗（Ogedei Khan）古尤克汗（Guyuk Khan）和忽必烈（Kublai Khan）征服了中国、中亚和东欧。但是，元朝虽属中国,却是蒙古帝国的一部分。

Then came the Century of Humiliation. Britain smuggled opium into China to dope the population, a strategy to turn the trade deficit around, after the British could not find enough silver to pay the Qing Dynasty in their tea and porcelain trades. After the opium warehouses were burned down and ports were closed by the Chinese in ordered to curb opium, the British started the Opium War I, which China lost. Hong Kong was forced to be surrendered to the British in a peace talk (Nanjing Treaty). The British owned 90% of the opium market in China, during that time, Queen Victoria was the world's biggest drug baron. The remaining 10% was owned by American merchants from Boston. Many of Boston's institutions were built with profit from opium.

接着是屈辱的世纪。在英国人没有足够的白银来支付清朝的茶叶和瓷器贸易之后，英国把鸦片走私到中国来贩卖毒品,这是一种扭转贸易逆差的策略。在虎门销烟、中国关闭港口以遏制鸦片之后，英国发动了第一次鸦片战争，中国输了。香港被迫在谈判中向英国投降（《南京条约》）。那个时期，英国的维多利亚女王是全世界最大的毒品大亨，英国人拥有中国90％的鸦片市场，其余的10％由波士顿的美国商人拥有。波士顿的许多机构都是靠着发鸦片财而建立的。

After 12 years of Nanjing Treaty, the West started getting really really greedy. The British wanted the Qing government:

1. To open the borders of China to allow goods coming in and out freely, and tax free.

2. Make opium legal in China.

《南京条约》签订12年后，西方开始变得非常非常贪婪。英国人要求清政府：1.开放中国边境，允许货物自由进出，免除关税。2.使鸦片在中国合法化。

Insane requests, Qing government said no. The British and French, with supports from the US and Russia from behind, started Opium War II with China, which again, China lost. The Anglo-French military raided the Summer Palace, and threatened to burn down the Imperial Palace, the Qing government was forced to pay with ports, free business zones, 300,000 kilograms of silver and Kowloon was taken. Since then, China's resources flew out freely through these business zones and ports. In the subsequent amendment to the treaties, Chinese people were sold overseas to serve as labor.

面对疯狂的要求，清政府说不。英法两国在美俄的支持下，对中国发动了第二次鸦片战争，而中国又输了。英法军队突袭了颐和园，并威胁要烧毁皇宫，清政府被迫用港口、自由贸易区、30万公斤的白银进行了支付。香港九龙也被抢走。从那时起，中国的资源便通过这些贸易区和港口自由进出。在随后的条约修正案中，中国人被卖到海外当劳工。

In 1900, China suffered attacks by the 8-National Alliance(Japan, Russia, Britain, France, USA, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary). Innocent Chinese civilians in Peking (Beijing now) were murdered, buildings were destroyed & women were raped. The Imperial Palace was raided, and treasures ended up in museums like the British Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris.

In late 1930s China was occupied by the Japanese in WWII. Millions of Chinese died during the occupancy. 300,000 Chinese died in Nanjing Massacre alone.

1900年，中国遭到八国联军的进攻（日本，俄罗斯，英国，法国，美国，德国，意大利，奥地利，匈牙利）。北平（现北京）的无辜中国平民被谋杀，建筑物被毁，妇女被强奸。皇宫遭到袭击，宝藏最终落入了伦敦大英博物馆和巴黎卢浮宫的口袋。20世纪30年代末，中国在第二次世界大战中被日本占领。数百万人在这期间丧命。仅南京大屠杀，就有30万中国人被杀害。

Mao brought China together again from the shambles. There were peace and unity for some time.

Then came Deng Xiao Ping and his famous “black-cat and white-cat” story. His preference in pragmatism than ideologies has transformed China. This thinking allowed China to evolve all the time to adapt to the actual needs in the country, instead of rigidly bounded to ideologies.

The current Socialism+Meritocracy+Market Economy model fits the Chinese like gloves, and it propels the uprise of China. Singapore has a similar model, and has been arguably more successful than Hong Kong, because Hong Kong being gateway to China, was riding on the economic boom in China, while Singapore had no one to gain from.

毛泽东把中国从废墟中团结起来，中国迎来了和平、统一。接着就是邓小平和他著名的“黑猫和白猫”的故事。比起意识形态,他对实用主义的偏爱已经改变了中国。这种思想使中国可以一直发展，以适应国家的实际需要,而不是拘泥于意识形态。当前的社会主义+精英主义+市场经济模型，完美地贴合了中国人，并推动着中国的崛起。而新加坡也有类似的模式，可以说比香港更成功。因为香港是通往中国的门户，受惠于中国的经济繁荣而发展，而新加坡则完全自主发展。

In just 30 years, the CCP have moved 800 millions of people out from poverty. The rate of growth is unprecedented in human history. They have built the biggest mobile network, by far the biggest high speed rail network in the world, and they have become a behemoth in infrastructure. They made a fishing village called Shenzhen into the world's second largest technological centre after the Silicon Valley. They are growing into a technological power house. It has the most elaborate e-commerce and cashless payment system in the world. They have launched exploration to Mars. The Chinese are living a good life and China has become one of the safest countries in the world. The level of patriotism in the country has reached an unprecedented height.

短短30年，中国共产党已经让8亿人摆脱了贫困。发展的速度在人类历史上前所未有。他们已经建立了最大的移动网络，全世界最大的高铁网络，并且成为了基建狂魔。他们把一个叫做深圳的渔村，打造成仅次于硅谷的世界第二大科技中心。他们正在成长为技术强国。它拥有世界上最完善的电子商务和无现金支付系统。他们已经向火星发起探险活动。爱国主义也达到了前所未有的高度。

For all of the achievements, the West has nothing good to say about it. China suffers from intense anti-China propagandas from the West. Western Media used the keyword “Communist” to instil fear and hatred towards China. Everything China does is negatively reported.

They claimed China used slave labor in making iPhones. The truth was, Apple was the most profitable company in the world, it took most of the profit, leave some to Foxconn (a Taiwanese company) and little to the labor.

尽管取得了所有成就，但西方对此从来都是闭口不谈。中国正遭受西方强烈的反华宣传。西方媒体使用关键词“共产主义”来煽动对中国的恐惧和仇恨。中国所做的一切都被负面报道。他们声称中国用“奴隶劳动”来制造iPhone。而事实上，苹果公司是世界上最赚钱的公司，它赚走了大部分利润，只留一部分给富士康（一家台湾公司），而极少留给中国的劳工。

They claimed China was inhuman with one-child policy. At the same time, they accused China of polluting the earth with its huge population. The fact is the Chinese consume just 30% of energy per capita compared to the US.

They claimed China underwent ethnic cleansing in Xinjiang. The fact is China has a policy which priorities ethnic minorities. For a long time, the ethnic minorities were allowed to have two children and the majority Han only allowed one. The minorities are allowed a lower score for university intakes. There are 39,000 mosque in China, and 2100 in the US. China has about 3 times more mosque per muslim than the US.

他们声称中国实行独生子女政策是不人道的。可是同时，他们却又指责中国人口众多，污染地球。事实是，与美国相比，中国人均能耗仅为30％。他们声称中国在新疆进行了种族清洗。事实上，中国有优先考虑少数民族的政策。长期以来，少数民族被允许生育两个孩子，而大多数汉族只允许生育一个。少数民族的大学录取分数很低。

中国有39000座清真寺,美国只有2100座。中国穆斯林的人均清真寺数量大约是美国的3倍。

When terrorist attacks happened in Xinjiang, China had two choices:1. Re-educate the Uighur extremists before they turned terrorists.2. Let them be, after they launch attacks and killed innocent people, bomb their homes.China chose 1 to solve problem from the root and not to do killing. How the US solve terrorism? Fire missiles from battleships, drop bombs from the sky.

当新疆发生恐怖袭击时，中国有两个选择：1.在极端分子成为恐怖分子之前，对他们进行再教育。2.让极端分子在发动恐怖袭击和杀害无辜民众之后，轰炸他们。中国选择1，从根源上解决问题，而不是杀生。美国如何解决恐怖主义问题? 从战舰上发射导弹，从空中投下炸弹。

During the pandemic, when China took extreme measures to lockdown the people, they were accused of being inhuman.When China recovered swiftly because of the extreme measures, they were accused of lying about the actual numbers.When China's cases became so low that they could provide medical support to other countries, they were accused of politically motivated.

Western Media always have reasons to bash China.

在新冠疫情期间, 当中国采取封锁的措施时，他们被指责为不人道。而当中国因为采取积极措施而迅速恢复时，他们又被指责谎报实际数字。当中国的病例变得如此之低，以至于他们可以向其他国家提供医疗支持时，他们被指责具有政治动机。西方媒体总能找到借口抨击中国。

Just like any country, there are irresponsible individuals from China which do bad and dirty things, but the China government overall has done very well. But I hear this comment over and over by people from the West: I like Chinese people, but the CCP is evil. What they really want is the Chinese to change the government, because the current one is too good.

和任何国家一样，中国也有不负责任的人在做坏事，但中国政府的整体表现很好。我却一再听到西方人的评论：我喜欢中国人民，但政府是邪恶的。他们真正想要看到的是中国人推翻政府，因为目前的中国政府太好了。

Fortunately China is not a multi-party democratic country, otherwise the opposition party in China will be supported by notorious NGOs (Non-Government Organization) of the USA, like the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), to topple the ruling party. The US and the British couldn't crack Mainland China, so they work on Hong Kong. Of all the ex-British colonial countries, only the Hong Kongers were offered BNOs by the British. Because the UK would like the Hong Kongers to think they are British citizens, not Chinese. A divide-and-conquer strategy, which they often used in Color Revolutions around the world.

幸运的是，中国不是一个多党制国家，否则中国的反对党将得到美国臭名昭著的非政府组织的支持，例如NED（民主基金会），来推翻政府。美国和英国无法攻破中国大陆，因此他们在香港进行反华活动。在所有的前英国殖民地国家中，只有香港人被英国人提供BNO（英国海外国民身份）。因为英国希望香港人以为他们是英国公民，而不是中国公民。这种分而治之的策略，他们经常在全世界的颜色革命中使用。

They resort to low dirty tricks like detaining Huawei's CFO & banning Huawei. They raised a silly trade war which benefits no one. Trade deficit always exist between a developing and a developed country. USA is like a luxury car seller who ask a farmer: why am I always buying your vegetables and you haven't bought any of my cars?

他们采取低级下流的伎俩，例如扣留华为的CFO孟晚舟和禁止华为。他们发动了一场愚蠢的贸易战，无人受益。发展中国家和发达国家之间总是存在贸易逆差。美国就像一个卖豪车的卖家，去问一个农民：为什么我总是买你的蔬菜，而你却没买我的车？

When the Chinese were making socks for the world 30 years ago, the world let it be. But when Chinese started to make high technology products, like Huawei and DJI, it caused red-alert. Because when Western and Japanese products are equal to Chinese in technologies, they could never match the Chinese in prices. First world countries want China to continue in making socks. Instead of stepping up themselves, they want to pull China down.

30年前，当中国人为全世界做袜子的时候，全世界都听之任之。但当中国人开始制造像华为、大疆这样的高科技产品时，却引起轩然大波。因为当西方产品和日本产品在技术方面与中国不相上下时，价格方面却永远无法与中国人相提并论。

第一世界国家希望中国人继续做袜子。他们不想提高自己，而是想扯中国后腿。

The recent movement by the US against China has a very important background. When Libya, Iran, and China decided to ditch the US dollar in oil trades, Gaddafi's was killed by the US, Iran was being sanctioned by the US, and now it's China's turn. The US has been printing money out of nothing. The only reason why the US Dollar is still widely accepted, is because it's the only currency which oil is allowed to be traded with. The US has an agreement with Saudi that oil must be traded in US dollar ONLY. Without the petrol-dollar status, the US dollars will sink, and America will fall. Therefore anyone trying to disobey this order will be eliminated. China will soon use a gold-backed crypto-currency, the alarms in the White House go off like mad.

美国最近针对中国的运动具有非常重要的背景。当利比亚、伊朗和中国决定放弃美元进行石油贸易时，卡扎菲被美国杀死，伊朗被美国制裁,现在轮到中国了。美国一直在无中生有地印美钞。美元之所以仍然被广泛接受，是因为它是唯一允许与石油进行交易的货币。

美国与沙特达成一项协议，规定石油只能以美元进行交易。没有美元-石油的地位，美元就会贬值，美国国力就会下降。因此，任何企图违抗这个命令的人都会被消灭。但是中国很快将使用一种由黄金做后盾的数字货币，于是白宫的警报声像发疯了一样响起。

China's achievement has been by hard work. Not by looting the world.

I have deep sympathy for China for all the suffering, but now I feel happy for them.

China is not rising, they are going back to where they belong.

Good luck China.

中国的成就一直靠着艰苦奋斗。而不是靠掠夺世界。我对中国曾遭受的所有苦难深表同情，但现在我为他们感到高兴。

中国并不是崛起，而是正在复兴，回到属于他们自己的地位。

祝中国好运。
