BEIJING: In their first-ever face-to-face meeting, Prime Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and President Xi Jinping reiterated the strong friendship and trade ties between Malaysia and China, while looking to the future.

In his brief welcoming remarks, Xi said both countries have agreed to build a China-Malaysia community with a shared future.

“This bilateral relationship is a new historical starting point,” he said.

Xi added that he appreciated the fact that despite observing the holy month of Ramadan, Anwar had accepted his invitation to visit China.He said he also took note of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between both nations this year and the 50th anniversary of the Malaysia-China diplomatic relationship next year.

Hence, he said it is hoped that under Anwar’s leadership, Malaysia and China will work more closely together to bring the relationship to greater heights.

For his part, Anwar said he was awestruck by Xi’s humility.

“He is such a formidable leader on the world stage, a senior world statesman and yet there is so much humility in him.

“He even asked me about our Malaysia Madani concept and about The Asian Renaissance,” he said, referring to his 1996 book.

“The more you learn, the more humble one should become. The wisdom of humility is endless,” Anwar said in his speech after a buka puasa event with Maycham China (Malaysian Chamber of Commerce & Industry in China) here yesterday.

He had earlier called on Xi at the Great Hall of the People.

Anwar urged Maycham China to keep up the good work of promoting Malaysia in the eyes of Chinese businesses and investors. He said promoting collaboration should not just be left to the government.

“It is also very much the work of the private sector itself. That is why everywhere I go abroad, I always make it a point to listen to the business community ... to encourage them to do more.

“This is the only way we can spur more growth,” he added.

Maycham China chairman Loh Wee Keng, in his speech earlier, said the chamber was going the extra mile to further promote trade and business exchanges with Malaysia.

“The gotong royong spirit is well and alive here in China. In Malaysia, we may take some things for granted, but here we take the extra effort.

“That is why our trade with China is thriving,” he added.

Also present at the dinner were the accompanying Malaysian ministers, Ambassador to China and Maycham China patron Raja Datuk Nushirwan Zainal Abidin, and MCA president Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

Greatest threat to the USA is Peace; China is now fearless drawing red lines with US and no longer can be bullied. 史无前例! 中美天津會談. 史無前例! 第一次有一個國家

Greatest threat to the USA is Peace

 The greatest threat to the USA is not China, but Peace. Peace in the world would bring an end to the evil American Empire that is built around war and a war economy. When there is Peace in the world, the Americans would be lost. They would not know what to do, many employed just to agitate for wars would be jobless. The whole Military Industrial Complex would be out of business. All the American military bases in the world would be redundant, so would all the aircraft carriers, military aircraft, ICBMs, weapons of mass destruction and all the supporting war industries.

Employment would become the number one problem in the USA when the American war machine is crippled due to its irrelevance. All the CIA operators would be out of work. All the fake news about threats and enemies would become jokes.

The nearly US$1 trillion military budget would be totally extravagant without wars, without enemies.

When there is Peace in the world, the Americans would have to create jobs for themselves, to make themselves useful again as responsible people, not warmongers and murderers, not merchants of war. There will be no one to buy their expensive war machine, no more needs for military gangs aka allies.

The latest peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia brokered by China is being condemned by the Americans, calling it a threat to American interests. The Americans are all out to break this Peace deal. This is how evil the Americans are, all set to create war and against Peace.  Peace is against the interests of the Americans, an evil Empire thriving on wars and instability and selling weapons to kill and destruct in wars.

China's proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine and to start Peace negotiation is condemned by the Americans and the Americans also said there cannot be ceasefire.

The people of the world have woken up to the evilness of the Americans. Everyone wants Peace except the Americans. Only the blind and idiotic are still supporting the evil Americans in their warmongering and evil ways.

CHINA

China is now fearless drawing red lines with US and no longer can be bullied. 史无前例!

中美天津會談. 史無前例! 第一次有一個國家
Unprecedented! China-U.S. Tianjin Talks
Unprecedented in history.
For the first time there is a country

謝鋒: 敦促美方改變極其危險的對華政策
Xie Feng: Urge the U.S. to change its extremely dangerous China policy

中美最近這次會談,比上次的阿拉斯加會談,還要讓世界吃驚,還要讓美國震驚。因為在這次會談中,中國第一次完整、系統、尖銳地痛斥了美國的反華行徑,並且開出了美國改正錯誤政策與言行,以及中國關心的應當糾錯的個案的清單,這是美國從未遇到的外交對手。因為最近這一百多年來,美國一直雄踞世界霸主地位,它先後戰勝了西班牙、英國、日本、德國、蘇聯等競爭者,保持了地球村村長的位置。可以說,從來沒有一個國家,像中國這樣給美國開清單,劃紅線。在這之前,只有美國這樣對別人的份。
The recent talks between China and the United States surprised the world even more than the last meeting in Alaska, and shocked the United States even more. Because in this meeting for the first time, China has completely, systematically and sharply denounced the anti-China behavior of the United States, and issued a list of correcting the wrong policies, words and deeds of the United States, as well as individual cases that China cares about and should be corrected. This is a diplomacy that the United States has never encountered an  opponent. Because the United States has dominated the world for more than a hundred years. It has successively defeated competitors such as Spain, the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and the Soviet Union, and maintained its position as the head of the global village. It can be said that there has never been a country that has issued a list and drawn red lines for the United States like China.  Before that, only the United States had this kind of attutude to others.

是的,在地球上,在美國眼里,主要有六類國家。第一類是盟友,比如以色列、英國、法國、德國、意大利、加拿大、澳大利亞等;第二類是被占領國家,比如日本、韓國;第三類是準盟友,比如歐洲的一些國家、亞洲的菲律賓、非洲的南非、美洲的巴西等。第四類是戰略合作的國家,比如沙特、印度、土耳其、埃及等;第五類是一些可以被它任意欺負的弱國;第六類是與美國敵對,但綜合實力確實差距很大的國家,比如伊朗,委內瑞拉、古巴、朝鮮等國家。這五類國家,均只能仰仗、逢迎、周旋或屈服於美國的外交施壓。只有俄羅斯與中國例外。俄羅斯憑借戰略武器和軍事實力,常常與美國針鋒相對,但也從來沒有在外交上直接訓斥美國人。而中國,因為政治、軍事、經濟、科技等綜合實力的增強,具備了全面抗壓能力,也是第一個直接在外交場合訓斥美國人,給美國人劃紅線的國家。
Yes, on earth, in the eyes of the United States, there are mainly six types of countries. The first category is allies, such as Israel, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, etc.;
The second category is occupied countries, such as Japan and South Korea;
The third category is quasi-allies, such as some countries in Europe, the Philippines in Asia, South Africa in Africa, and Brazil in the Americas.
The fourth category is countries with strategic cooperation, such as Saudi Arabia, India, Turkey, Egypt, etc.;
The fifth category is some weak countries that can be bullied by it at will;
The sixth category is countries that are hostile to the United States, but their overall strength is indeed far behind, such as Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea and other countries.
These five types of countries can only rely on, flatter, deal with, or succumb to the diplomatic pressure of the United States.  The only exceptions are Russia and China. Relying on its strategic weapons and military strength, Russia often confronts the United States tit for tat, but it has never directly reprimanded the Americans diplomatically. China, on the other hand, has a comprehensive ability to resist pressure due to the enhancement of its political, military, economic, technological and other comprehensive strengths. It is also the first country to directly reprimand Americans on diplomatic occasions and draw red lines for Americans.

美國人是非常震驚的,華盛頓這幾天所有精英都在體會中國這樣做的意義。這一次中國創造了六個前所未有。第一是中國外交部副部長謝峰十分系統、完整的訓斥了美國人,前所未有。第二是在美國人之前發布中國人的完整批評發言,對對方的發言一字不發,前所未有。第三是直接給美國人開列改正錯誤的問題清單,前所未有。第四是拒絕討論美國人的問題清單,拒絕在美國不改正錯誤的情況下討論合作,前所未有。第五是直接否定美國對中美關系的定義,前所未有。第六是直接為美國人劃上搞好中美關系的底線,前所未有。
Americans are very shocked. All the elites in Washington these days are realizing the significance of China's actions.
This time China has created six unprecedences.
The first is that Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Xie Feng has systematically and completely reprimanded the Americans, which is unprecedented.
The second is to publish the complete critical speech of the Chinese before the Americans, without saying a single word of the other party's speech, which is unprecedented.
The third is to directly issue a list of questions for Americans to correct their mistakes, which is unprecedented.
The fourth is the refusal to discuss the American list of problems, and the refusal to discuss cooperation without the United States correcting its mistakes, which is unprecedented.
The fifth is to directly deny the United States' definition of Sino-US relations, which is unprecedented.
The sixth is to directly draw the bottom line for Americans to improve Sino-US relations, which is unprecedented.

王毅外長劃定的三條底線,美國幾乎無法遵守,這也意味著中國從今往後,不打算在美國人一意孤行的情況下,單方面忍讓改善雙方關系。王毅說,第一,美國不得挑戰、詆毀甚至試圖顛覆中國特色社會主義道路和制度。這是中方必須堅守的核心利益。第二,美國不得試圖阻撓甚至打斷中國的發展進程。中國人民當然也有過上更美好生活的權利,中國也有實現現代化的權利,現代化不是美國的專權,這涉及人類的基本良知和國際公義。中方敦促美方盡快取消對華實施的所有單邊制裁、高額關稅、長臂管轄以及科技封鎖。第三,美國不得侵犯中國國家主權,更不能破壞中國領土完整。不得在涉疆、涉藏、涉港等問題上損害中國主權。至於台灣問題,更是重中之重。如果“台獨”膽敢挑釁,中國有權利采取任何需要的手段予以制止。我們奉勸美方在台灣問題上務必恪守承諾,務必慎重行事。大家只要認真看一看這三條底線,就可以看出,美國人可能永遠不會遵守這三條底線,中國敢於劃出來,就說明中國這次是鐵了心要與美國鬥爭到底。要麽美國改弦更張,中美關系走上正軌,要麽中國就要不惜亮劍、不惜攤牌,逼美國人在這些大是大非面前就範。
The three bottom lines drawn by Foreign Minister Wang Yi are almost impossible for the United States to abide by. This also means that from now on China will not intend to unilaterally tolerate and improve bilateral relations when the Americans insist on going their own way.
Wang Yi said:
First, the United States must not challenge, slander, or even try to subvert the path and system of socialism with Chinese characteristics.  This is the core interest that China must uphold.
Second, the United States must not try to obstruct or even interrupt China's development process. China urges the U.S. to lift all unilateral sanctions, high tariffs, long-arm jurisdiction and technology blockade imposed on China as soon as possible.
Third, the United States must not violate the sovereignty of China's national sovereignty, let alone undermine China's territorial integrity. It is not allowed to damage China's sovereignty on issues such as Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong. As for the Taiwan issue, it is even more important.
If the "Taiwan independence" dares to provoke, China has the right to take any necessary measures to stop it. We urge the US side to honor its commitments and act with caution on the Taiwan issue.
As long as you take a serious look at these three bottom lines, you can see that Americans may never abide by these three bottom lines. If China dares to draw them, it shows that China is determined to fight the United States to the end this time. Either the United States will change its course and China-US relations will be on the right track, or China will not hesitate to show its sword and show its cards to force the Americans to submit to these major issues.

一句話,美國不得處心積慮搞垮中國、搞衰中國、搞亂中國,這是高壓線。如果美國一面堅持這三搞,一面又假惺惺要與我們合作,那是不可能的。大家都說,外交是需要實力做後盾的,中國第一個正式教訓美國、提出改正錯誤清單、明確劃定底線,底氣是什麽? 我認為是三條
第一條,是中國人民對共產黨的領導的擁護、對國家制度和道路的認同,達到了空前的高水平,中國人民從來沒有像今天這樣對帝國主義、資本主義的醜惡本質,對中國公知這些里應外合的醜類的醜惡嘴臉,有如此清晰的認識。這是中國最有底氣的地方。
第二條,是中國經過70年飛速發展,已經在政治、經濟、文化、金融、科技、軍事、外交等領域有了長足進步,已經成為綜合實力的第二強,從發展勢頭看,完全有可能在20年左右,成為全面超越美國的超級大國,明天我將分析,中國不怕中美搞所謂全面脫鉤。第三條,也是最重要的一條,那就是中國已經擁有非常具體、非常現實的核打擊能力。這是美國特別懼怕、特別忌憚的能力。俄羅斯總統普京曾經說,如果俄羅斯不存在了,那麽世界對我們就毫無意義。他的意思是,如果有人要毀滅俄羅斯,俄羅斯就要毀滅世界。這就是GDP僅有中國一個廣東省水平的國家,一個經濟規模還小於韓國的國家,為什麽被美國人害怕的原因。
因為我羅斯擁有毀滅美國一次以上的能力。美俄如果開打核戰爭,絕對是雙雙自我毀滅。其實,今天的中國,美國很清楚,已經具備了毀滅美國的現實核能力。
In a word, the United States must not deliberately try to bring China down, destroy China, and mess up China. This is a high-tension line. It would be impossible for the US to insist on these three activities while pretending to cooperate with us. Everyone says that diplomacy needs the backing of strength. China is the first to formally teach the United States a lesson, put forward a list of mistakes to correct, and clearly draw the bottom line.
What is the confidence? I gathered three recognitions.
First. The Chinese people's support for the leadership of the Communist Party and their recognition of the country's system and path have reached an unprecedented high level.
The Chinese people have never had before as they do today such a clear understanding of the ugly nature of imperialism and capitalism, and the ugly faces of those hideous people who cooperate with each other from the inside and the outside.
This is where China has the most confidence.
The second is that after 70 years of rapid development, China has made great progress in the fields of politics, economy, culture, finance, science and technology, military affairs, and diplomacy. It has become the second strongest country in terms of comprehensive strength. From the perspective of development momentum, it is entirely possible to become a superpower that surpasses the United States in about 20 years. Tomorrow I will analyze that.
China is not afraid of the so-called comprehensive decoupling between China and the United States.
The third and most important one is that China already has a very specific and realistic nuclear strike capability. This is a capability that the United States is particularly afraid of and dreads. Russian President Vladimir Putin once said that if Russia does not exist, then the world is meaningless to us.
What he meant was that if someone was going to destroy Russia, Russia was going to destroy the world. This is why a country whose GDP is only at the level of Guangdong Province in China, and whose economic scale is smaller than that of South Korea, is feared by Americans. Because Russia have the ability to destroy America more than once.  If the United States and Russia start a nuclear war, they will definitely destroy themselves.
In fact, today's China, the United States is very clear, already has the actual nuclear capability to destroy the United States.


我國最新亮相的東風41洲際導彈,目前是世界上最先進的,它的性能已經超過了美國的民兵3和俄羅斯的白楊M,射程高達15000公里,可攜帶十幾個可變軌的核彈頭,核當量相當於23枚轟炸長崎廣島的原子彈,在這樣的核導彈攻擊下,很難有一個國家可以幸存。最要命的是,東風41是機動的、全天候的,也就是說,它可以在任何時候從任何地點發射,這就確保了中國擁有可靠的二次核打擊能力。因為這樣的機動導彈,不可能在第一輪核打擊中被完全擊毀。所以美國人從今往後,絕對不敢有任何僥幸心理與中國開戰。何況,中國還有潛射核導彈巨浪3,它的射程同樣在15000公里以上,同樣是多彈頭的核彈,同樣是機動性極高的戰略武器。巨浪3只需要在渤海內海,就可以完成發射。陸基海基同時擁有機動遠程核打擊能力,你手上如果有這樣先進的打狗棍,見到任何惡狗你當然就有底氣。

My country's latest Dongfeng 41 intercontinental missile is currently the most advanced in the world. Its performance has surpassed the American Minuteman 3 and Russia's Topol M, with a range of up to 15,000 kilometers. It can carry more than a dozen nuclear warheads with variable orbits, and the nuclear equivalent is equivalent to 23 atomic bombs that bombed Nagasaki Hiroshima. Under such nuclear missile attacks, it is difficult for a country to survive. The most terrible thing is that Dongfeng 41 is mobile and all-weather, that is to say, it can be launched from any place at any time, This ensures that China has a reliable second-strike nuclear capability.  Because such a mobile missile cannot be completely destroyed in the first round of nuclear strikes. Therefore, from now on, the Americans will never dare to have any fluke mentality to start a war with China. What's more, China also has the submarine-launched nuclear missile Julang-3, which also has a range of more than 15,000 kilometers. It is also a multi-warhead nuclear bomb and is also a highly mobile strategic weapon. Julang 3 only needs to be in the inner sea of ​​Bohai Sea to complete the launch. Land-based and sea-based also have mobile long-range nuclear strike capabilities. If you have such an advanced dog-beating stick in your hand, you will certainly have the confidence to see any vicious dog.

朋友們,美國人這一次也創造了一個前所未有。當中國人訓斥了舍曼一行之後,後半程的談判,美國人囂張氣焰不見了。相反,面對中國人空前的強硬態度,美國人在現場、美國國務院發言人、美國總統和國務卿都表達過一個意思,那就是美國不尋求與中國對抗與沖突。你們聽一聽,這本來是多年來,相對處於弱勢的中國,一再宣稱的概念,現在,每當中美兩國劍拔督張時,他們多半會這樣說,這也是前所未有的,為什麽? 這是因為中國的戰略核武器越來越厲害,美國人很忌憚。所以我再次強調,與中國開戰,美國人想都別想。
Friends, the Americans have also created an unprecedented situation this time. After the Chinese reprimanded Sherman and his party, the arrogance of the Americans disappeared in the second half of the negotiations.
On the contrary, in the face of the unprecedented tough attitude of the Chinese, the Americans at the scene, the spokesperson of the US State Department, the US President and the Secretary of State all expressed one meaning, that is, the US does not seek confrontation and conflict with China.
Listen. China for many years was relatively weak. This is a concept that has repeatedly declared for many years.
Now, whenever China and the United States draw their swords to counter each other, they will probably say something like this. This is also unprecedented.
Why? This is because China's strategic nuclear weapons are becoming more and more powerful, and Americans are very afraid.  So I emphasize again that Americans should never even think about going to war with China.*

希望每一個中國人都能把這篇愛國文章轉出去,讓我們的中國變得越來越強大,支持所有愛國團體。

I hope that every Chinese can forward this patriotic article to make our China stronger and stronger and support, all patriotic groups.
👍🙏🙏🙏

Dengue case numbers to peak this year following cycle uptrend

 



Dengue spike due to four-year epidemic cyclical pattern, says Health DG

 

PETALING JAYA: The rising number of dengue cases is part of a cyclical trend and is expected to peak this year, says Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The Health director-general said this was based on national data, which shows that dengue trends follow a cyclical pattern with an epidemic being reported every four to five years.

“The recent dengue epidemics were observed in 2014 and 2019, with an average of 2,300 cases per week and 2,500 cases per week reported respectively.

“The rising number of dengue cases is partly contributed by the change in dominant circulating dengue serotype, or the ‘serotype shift’, which is a well-known reason for dengue surges.

“It has been observed that dengue cases will increase usually four to six months after a serotype shift due to the lack of immunity in the community towards the new dominant circulating serotype,” he said in a statement yesterday.

From the Health Ministry’s surveillance monitoring, there has been a shift of the circulating dengue virus serotype from DEN 3 to DEN 4 since June 2021, Dr Noor Hisham added.

Since then, the DEN4 serotype has been the dominant circulating virus serotype in the environment, he said.

In 2022, Malaysia reported 66,102 dengue cases with 56 deaths, compared to 26,365 cases with 20 deaths in 2021.

This was an increase of 150.7% in dengue cases and a 180% increase in deaths from the previous year.

Dr Noor Hisham said that other countries in the region are also seeing a rise in dengue this year.

In terms of contributing factors, he pointed out that human behaviour, such as littering, is among the main reasons for poor environmental cleanliness.

“The abundance of man-made containers (being littered) have provided suitable breeding places for Aedes mosquitoes,” he said, adding that climatic change is also an important factor, especially with alternating rainy and hot seasons.
