Why don't westerners provide for their parents?

We heard a lot about westerners life style, like independant, open mind, fkk everywhere.......but some of things confuse me all the time, everyone coming from their parents, then parent feed kids, raise them to grow up, get education, teaching them everything.

In China, when children turn into an adult and earn living, we always pay back to our parent by part of our salary, for me, I give my Mom almost a half of my salary each month. but I never take that as a money issue, I think it's a kind of grateful mind, your parent born you, raise you, they paid out their time, their kind, their patience, their energy....... so we should appreciate back to them by all we have......

so but why westerners leave home when he 18 years old, some people even never meet their parent again after leaving......... do u hate ur parent to bring u to this world or what? and why don't u appreciate for your parent kindness on raising you, accompany you all the time when u were kid........

it's so strange, I'm wondering.........

US report says Chinese military could destabilise Asia-Pacific by 2020

In its annual report, the US Defence Department says Beijing is modernising its military forces, in particular anti-satellite missiles, building an aircraft carrier, and boosting its cyberwarfare capabilities. This could change the balance of power in the region. Its J-20 stealth fighter aircraft programme is expected to be operational by 2018. Beijing is none too pleased about the report.

Beijing – China’s People’s Liberation Army appears on track to modernise by 2020, a rapid build-up that could potentially destabilise the Asia-Pacific region, a United States Department of Defence report said on Wednesday. In an angry reply, China called the US claim “unfounded suspicion and exaggeration”.

The US Defence report noted that Chinese military growth in the past decade exceeded most US forecasts, especially in strategic areas like aircraft carrier programme, cyber warfare capabilities and anti-satellite missiles.

Some China watchers, including members of the US Congress, note with apprehension that China’s rising defence spending comes at a time when Washington plans defence cuts.

The Pentagon report noted that China’s J-20 stealth fighter aircraft programme would not achieve “effective operational capability” prior to 2018.

China is also building its first domestic air carrier, which would not be operational before at least 2015, if construction began this year.

China’s defence budget this year is 601.1 billion yuan (US$ 91.5 billion), an increase of 12.7 per cent from a year before. However, many experts believe that it is much higher. With an army of 1.25 million men, the report suggests that China’s actual defence spending might top US$ 160 billion.

Beijing’s reaction was swift. A spokesman for China's embassy in Washington said the report was “a reflection of Cold War mentality”.

“It’s normal for China to develop its army and update its weaponry,” a defence Ministry spokesman said.

“We hope the US will take practical steps to work with China for stable and healthy military ties by following the spirit of mutual respect, mutual trust, reciprocity and mutual benefit,” Embassy spokesman Wang Baodong said.

Yet, “The pace and scope of China's sustained military investments have allowed China to pursue capabilities that we believe are potentially-destabilising to regional military balances,” said Michael Schiffer, a deputy assistant secretary of defence.

In fact, China appears to be aiming at becoming a naval power. It has also not given up its claims to Taiwan, which it considers a rebel province.

At least, 1,200 short-range missiles are aimed at the island. In 2010, Beijing suspended all military cooperation with the United States to protest US weapons sale to Taiwan.

Taipei has asked the United States for 66 F-16C/D fighter jets, a request Washington has not yet considered to avoid worsening relations with Beijing.

In addition, China claims sovereignty over a number of archipelagos in the Pacific Ocean, and this year has used violence against fishing boats from Vietnam and the Philippines to keep them away from the islands.

For the Pentagon, despite its progress at becoming a more powerful regional military power, Beijing is not expected to be able to project and sustain large forces in high-intensity combat operations far from China before 2020.

Yet, cyberattacks last year against the US government were apparently traced back to China.

Humanitarian Intervention is a Good Thing

Humanitarian intervention is a good thing, if done well.

Nato's involvement in Libya is a good thing and executed very well.

Now, it is up to the Libyans themselves and I have great confidence they are more than capable.

China and BRICS have showed themselves to be very ill informed, very shallow and very selfish. There is no creativity in BRICS and no intention to solve problems. To make matters worse, China is now caught by NTC selling weapons to Gadafi in July 2011, breaching UN sanctions they themselves help to put in place.

Libyan crisis offered china a rare opportunity to show it has grown up as a nation ready to take on challenges and responsibilities as the number two economic power in the world.

China failed miserably.

Now, the world should be more cautious of China rise.

Lost are the dreamy eyes that believe China can be a force for good.

Who Own America Really ?

Who is Uncle Sam really?

Believe it or not  ~   Good Old Uncle Sam actually belongs to jolly old England!

North America, thats U.S.A  (Uncle Sam) & Canada, as well as Australia & New Zealand are wholly owned by Anglo-Brotherhood that originally sprung out of British Isles, as far as they are concerned.

Let's look at their history. In the past five centuries, eversince Anglo British sprung out of their original homeland ; [remember, just a couple centuries prior to that, England was one of  the most backward nation in all of Europe mainly due to being an island nation, divided by water from mainland. Then with the advancement & development of sea going vessels later on, she quickly catched up and found themself acquiring more land than they can ever chew on, and overall one hundred times more landmass of their original Britain. Once they have strategically planted their Anglo roots from North America to Australia and in-betweens, by rooting out native people from their land and depleting their population. Then the next step is colonising the whole wide world, over 30 nations altogether [ what is Colonialism? Its basically enslaving the subjects and living off / prospering on their labor, their blood & sweat ] , essentially controlling pretty much the world's economy, for centuries up to this date. Once you are in charge of the world economically, financially & militarily, as in the case of present Anglo Brotherhood Alliance through

U.S. military, Wall Street, and all that land-based resources coming out of looted lands.

{ By the way, do you know that U.S. military, possess enough nuclear arsenal to nuke the whole wide world five hundred times over. Yes, that's it; you read it right, 500 times more than needed to wipe out all the living beings on this planet! And that current war in Afghanistan at a cost of nearly half a billion dollars a day, is all because of this - to secure future generations nuke bomb making materials, extremely  rare minerals only left in the ground of that nation. Remember, Russian were there before.}

      
Here's about the hidden  reality in Uncle Sam's America ~

In U.S., anyone who come here / are born here become Americans. Are they really ?

Well, sort of ! The real truth is that theres three types of  Americans - American the landlord, American the tenant, and American the native.

-Landlord American are the one who hold the power, and thus own America, they are minority Anglo-American, who make up less than 10% of total U.S population. They are the richest one [they also claim sole ownership of the resources from the land, thus make them super rich].

-Tenant American are the rest majority of American population, who just happen to be born here, live, work, pay taxes and are required to serve in the military [as in world war I & II , helped saved England, Australia & British colonial empire twice!].

Although Non-Anglo Americans majority have economic and political power, domestically and locally; when it comes to national and international level and political & military affair of United States, AngloAmericans have absolute unwavering power, and most of these policies are made in accordance with/ in the interests of fellow Anglo nations such as Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and in lesser extense, South Africa.

The Ugly Truth is that overwhelming majority of Americans do not share / have little in common with many of these agendas carried out by reigning AngloAmerican minority establishment.

-Native American are the one who authentically own the 'land & land-based resources' , but lost everything, as all the tribes were forced to give up abundant wealth of their beloved motherland, the vass and resourceful land. U.S receive a staggering 65% of her massive oil needs domestically,  and that's a $1.5 billion worth of oil daily flowing out of their land, from Oklahoma Texas to Gulf of Mexico and Alaska; yes, thats oil alone] for five centuries and counting, my friend. And yet native people of all tribes in America do not benefit from anything coming out of their lost continent / receive next to nothing, and are instead forced to earn their revenue from setting up casinos and sales of tobacco; two vice businesses that few want to ever associate with.

Thus they remains the poorest American with a tiny 2 million population. [ That's on top of the loss of estimated 5 million native population centuries ago, while Europe herself had less than 15 million then]

Sadly, since they have little or no economic or political power, native tribal people exist, however original they may be but, as somewhat  forgotten American to this day.
