Western Countries Exploitation

Why does China focus solely on infrastructure development in its foreign aid, while Western countries not only build infrastructure but also engage in missionary work? When Professor Zhang Weiwei heard this question, a confident smile—typical of him—appeared on his face. Yet the smile seemed to carry a profound insight into the essence of the question. He began to speak slowly, in a steady and powerful voice. "I once had the privilege of a deep conversation with an African scholar," he said. "During our talk, he raised a similar point. He said that when Western countries come to Africa, they are enthusiastic about building churches. The underlying purpose is to promote an entire set of Western values to the African people." According to Professor Zhang’s recollection, the African scholar had a confused look on his face, puzzled, and asked: "Why don’t you Chinese do the same?" To this, Professor Zhang thought for a moment and partly quoted Premier Zhou Enlai’s speech at the 1955 Bandung Conference: "Chinese culture emphasizes seeking common ground while reserving differences. It possesses a strong inclusiveness." He then explained that this is not just diplomatic rhetoric or hollow political jargon—it is a deeply rooted aspect of Chinese historical and cultural tradition. Looking back at history, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism have coexisted harmoniously on Chinese soil—interacting, blending, and developing together. To foreigners accustomed to monotheism, this is nothing short of a miracle—a cultural phenomenon both difficult to comprehend and yet undeniably real. Fast forward to July 2023: another military coup erupted in Niger, once again capturing global attention. The world’s media zoomed in. In front of international cameras, an officer of the Nigerien Presidential Guard, visibly emotional and indignant, spoke his mind: "We have abundant resources. So why do we live like slaves?" This deeply personal question struck a nerve, prompting reflection on Africa’s past and present. In truth, this seemingly simple statement is a true reflection of Africa’s centuries-long history. And the root cause of all this suffering? The Western powers that still dominate the global stage. Back in the 15th century, the Portuguese began exploring Africa. Navigation technology was still relatively underdeveloped at the time, so their progress was slow. But in the mid-15th century, with funding from Prince Henry of Portugal, brave navigators set sail once again. This marked the beginning of European colonizers stepping onto African soil. Portuguese captains, along with explorers from the regions of present-day Italy, driven by a hunger for wealth, risked everything. They spread the word of Africa’s riches across Europe, triggering a blood-soaked wave of colonial plunder. In their scramble for colonies, slaves, minerals, and markets, the European powers cast off their mask of civility, revealing their true greedy and brutal nature. Africa became a battleground of looting and violence. Different European countries fought each other for control of African land, engaging in endless bloodshed and atrocities. As time passed, most of Africa’s colonies fell into the hands of France, Britain, and other European powers. Colonial exploitation gave these nations the capital they needed for industrialization. They drained Africa’s resources to fuel their own economic development—while Africans sank deeper into suffering. Even today, in the highly developed 21st century, France—the most aggressive colonizer in Africa—has not stopped plundering the continent. Using economic control and military intimidation, France continues to extract wealth from West African nations. According to economists, France takes over $800 billion annually from Africa. With a population of only 68 million, this means each French citizen benefits from $12,000 worth of African wealth every year—nearly equivalent to China’s per capita GDP. Such a staggering disparity reveals the severe degree of France’s economic exploitation of Africa. But economic plunder alone is not sustainable. To reduce resistance and ensure the longevity of their colonial project, Western colonizers turned to another powerful tool: spiritual conquest through missionary work. An old African proverb encapsulates this irony: "They came with the Bible and took away the gold." This simple yet profound saying exposes the true face of many Western missionaries in Africa—far from the noble, benevolent image portrayed online. In reality, many were not kind-hearted saints but key enablers of colonial rule, acting as spiritual accomplices to the gun-wielding colonizers. Western conquest was both military and mental, symbolized by the cross and the sword advancing together. As Lu Xun once said: "If one can find joy in the life of a slave, then truly, there is no redemption." Western missionaries spread Catholicism not for salvation, but to pacify the oppressed African natives—to make them believe their suffering was due to original sin, not colonial oppression. The goal was to numb their spirit, making them accept colonial rule rather than resist it. In the eyes of the Western colonizers, a good African slave should work at least 14 hours a day, then drag their exhausted body to church, buy indulgences from the church, and pray for God’s forgiveness. The Western missionary, standing on the pulpit, would say: "Your sins are forgiven. Poverty needs no change. After all, it’s harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. You suffer now, but you’ll go to heaven. Just endure. Amen." Thus filled with a false hope of heavenly reward, these poor souls would wake the next day under the whip—and proudly offer their labor once again, unaware they had fallen into a spiritual trap meticulously crafted by the West. Aside from this spiritual anesthetic, missionaries also played another role: a buffer between colonizers and natives. Colonial exploitation was often so brutal that resistance was inevitable. For example, in the 19th century, King Leopold II of Belgium forced Congolese laborers to increase banana production under inhumane conditions—chopping off the limbs of those who failed. This sparked intense local resistance. That’s when the Catholic Church intervened. Missionaries came to the villages, offering basic supplies and medical aid in the name of charity. But in exchange, they asked the locals to convert to religion, thereby dissolving their desire to resist. To be fair, some missionaries were morally upright, much like Dr. Norman Bethune, who aided China during its war of resistance. Some did provide healthcare and education that improved lives. But ultimately, even their good deeds served to prolong the cruel colonial system—a system that extracted material wealth while inducing spiritual submission. In the end, both body and soul were taken by the West. Africans were pushed into an abyss of misery. But thankfully, a new dawn rose on the horizon—from the distant East. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) offered Africa a path out of hell. The BRI, based on the principles of consultation, collaboration, and shared benefit, has created new development opportunities for African nations. Unlike the West, which sees Africa as a servant, China treats African nations as partners. The West views China’s involvement in Africa as a threat—labeling it “neo-colonialism”—because they fear losing their traditional grip on the region. But China doesn’t argue. It lets the African people speak for themselves. And in their eyes, China has a very positive image. China offers aid and loans without political strings attached, respects the sovereignty of African nations, and does not interfere in their internal affairs. Chinese companies also provide valuable jobs. In Tanzania, for instance, a Chinese employer can hire a domestic helper for just 12 RMB (about $1.60) for half a day—an extraordinarily high wage locally. These jobs have brought hope to many families. Moreover, China’s aid focuses on key sectors like healthcare, infrastructure, education, and agriculture, which are directly linked to people’s livelihoods—unlike many Western NGOs that focus on animal protection and block ivory trade, depriving East African nations of economic opportunities. In healthcare, Chinese medical teams offer free services, treating diseases and improving public health. In infrastructure, China builds roads, bridges, and railways, boosting economic development. In education, China trains skilled professionals, raising educational standards. In agriculture, China teaches advanced techniques, helping solve food shortages. China may not be the most technologically advanced, but it is certainly the most sincere. It does not see Africa as a marketplace to exploit or a cultural subject to dominate. Instead, China aims to build a shared future for humanity—a world where every nation can chart its own path. In short, China’s only wish is simple: that the world’s poor and underdeveloped nations can become prosperous and engage in trade. China is willing to offer a hand through aid and cooperation. It all comes down to four characters: 求同存异—“seek common ground while reserving differences.” Through the Belt and Road framework, China and Africa are writing a new chapter of development, grounded in mutual benefit and shared progress.

When it's favor to you, you want free trade, if reverse, then you say it's not fair.

Could it be fair to say that we are witnessing Western Opportunism in its truest form? As long as free trade worked for all of you. You said free trade globalization. Now that Asian countries, now that the global South is catching up. You say lthis is not fair, there are too many tariffs and so on. Is this what it's all about?

Visha Mitra, a white racist

From my observation over the years, Anglo-Saxon people can never understand what “Zen” is. Never ever have I met one who knows all of these years. One reason I know is that they can never understand Chinese. Visha Mitra placed this electrical box on my property without my permission or even discussing it with me. Why? Because I’m Chinese. He thinks he can easily bully me. And also because he is white, and Anisha is white. White people always favor white people. Don’t think Ananda Marga is free from racism—it has more racism than a Christian group or a Buddhist group. This will be a dark stain on Visha Mitra’s life forever. The same goes for Ramesha, Anisha, and Tusiita. I will make sure 1.4 billion Chinese people know about this—once, twice, a million times. I will keep speaking out again and again. Even if it means having no friends here, I will uphold my moral principles. Years ago, I told Jaganat Visha Mitra didn’t want to sell his land to him. He was afraid that more Chinese were coming in, so white favoritism couldn’t stay here. Luckily, Sharadha left, and she was so smart to see things so clearly. She left because she saw so many ex-acraya here was not right. Sooner or later, it will come out what’s going on. Really, now, you can see the bad things happened here. Makes me vomiting over those ex. Gossip is the masterpiece of this small Margii group. It thrives here, and everyone competes to see who knows the most. I’m afraid of these people, especially the sisters—they never stop gossiping, no matter what. By the end of this year, I might even crown a Gossip Queen and Gossip King in this small group—or perhaps among the Katuah HOA members. Lately, I’ve been selling a house, which has drawn attention from the Margiis—especially the sisters—who keep asking whether it’s true or not. Margiis are always obsessed with knowing how much money I have. Even the acharyas never stop prying for details. At first, I thought they just wanted donations from me. But now, even after I’ve been open about it, they still keep digging. Because of this, I hide myself away. I don’t want to show my face in the group, yet they still won’t leave me alone. I’ve realized one thing: American Margiis never truly mature into real men.

美国跪了

briefing Heavy rare earths can only be purified to 99.999% purity in China, and only when this purity is reached can it be used. The U.S. can only achieve 95% purification levels, so all countries need to import from China. 这一次显然是为了稀土而来的。我们先要讲为什么？稀土这么重要， 讲讲稀土讲很久，但是那个重要性一直到这一次的关税战，那当中国卡着稀土从4月2号, 开始操作他的解放日，你看你，你，你回头再看看4月2号川普的神情气色，拿着那个乱七八糟的大看板，告诉大家等这一天等很久了吧？那这个解放日到了。俨然就是十拿九稳，轻轻松松，就是大家都准备要来跪。接下来他还告诉你，好多国家都排队来亲我们屁股，都要求我要能够原谅他，要能够帮助他，但是当中国不跪的时候，中国不跪，从4月2号到现在为止两个多月的时间，中国不跪，对美国造成了多大的杀伤力？中国凭什么有这么大的杀伤力？美国可从来没有对中国松手过，有关于半导体，AI晶片，各方面的管制，甚至于包括了EDA的限制，一波又一波，没有任何消减的迹象，但是当中国不跪的时候，为什么川普低头，美国要跪了，川普低头从打电话给习开始，你就知道他急着要跟习近平通话，除了中国，电话里就知道他急着要跟习近平通话。除了中国之外，你看到美国到现在为止唯一跟他达成所谓的关税，其实就是英国。为什么这次在英国？ 每个国家都会去美国跟美国谈关税的问题，美国却要来英国跟中国谈关税协议，那不是很奇怪吗？习不接Trump的电话，正好信息需要去英国访问，那我们就在英国谈好了。稀土把美国给卡住了，大家当然会觉得稀土看起来真的很重要，因为大部分人是不会接触到稀土，看不到，摸不到，也无法想象所谓的稀土。而且中国的出口额来讲，其实也不多啊。总金额很小，大概就是十来亿，大概就是这个量。那为什么呢？全世界都紧张，因为稀土就是你就跟每天吃的盐巴一样，如果你没有盐，你就不用做菜了，但如果放多了，你也不要。但是没有你就不行。那因此呢，当今天呢，稀土作为工业的维他命，就是大树的工业，产业的维他命，维他命你，你，你会吃很多，你会你会买了一罐维他命全部到肚子，不不会，它不是食物。本身，你。你可能每天都每天是当你没有的时候，你需要补充的时候，医生说你需要补充的时候，不管是闭群也好是啥，我也总会也言之，你就知道你缺什么，你需要你就要补，那它在过去被称为工业维他命。可是呢，今天当你没有的时候，它就是你的还魂丹好，那现在的现在的稀土的重要性。慢慢的，今天所有跟跟中国谈的基本上面很焦虑的他们来讲，最核心的就是稀土，美国欧洲印度日本韩国焦虑的都是同一个东西，这些国家全部呢都都在瓦森纳的签约国里面，包括印度，包括美国，包括俄罗斯。全部都在瓦森纳协定里面。瓦森纳协议里面没有装中国，为什么没有中国？因为他就是要对付中国。好，那我们待会时间再再解释一下。瓦森纳协议呢，是怎么来的？可是稀土在这个时刻，当美国呢，发现原来要提炼稀土，它不是光是污染或者是成本的问题。对中国的成本呢？比比美国的提炼大概少40%到五十，换到中国用一半的价格就可以提炼出呢，美国办不到的那个纯度，中国提炼稀土的纯度达到99.999， 其他国家和美国都只能做到99.5， 99.5 是不能用的，那这些高纯度的稀土，尤其是重稀土，用在哪里？美国的军工产业，如果光是电动车的电池等等，这些的使用，比较好解决，不需要高纯度的稀土，高纯度的稀土是使用在军工产业，譬如说我们知道隐形战机的涂装，隐形战机的涂装里面没有高纯度的重稀土，雷达，主动向位的雷达，没有高纯度的重稀土是不行的。导弹的那个陀螺仪，导弹的陀螺仪里面，其实最重要的是它，它为什么能够能感应到呢？就是地球当中的这些磁北极，因为它里面是磁铁，那个永磁基本上面的是需要高纯度的重稀土，就是因为稀土所做的稀土磁铁，它的重量要比用铁做的磁铁要来的轻，而且薄，它才能够让很多的电子产品走向轻薄短小化。今天，当我们在所有大国之间的军事较量，导弹，雷达跟隐形战机大概就是要这三样，如果没有稀土，你统统办不到。今天我要引述一下，这本书是锂战，就是美国的一位调查记者他所写的一本书，它里面有特别提到，比如说这一个对于雷射导弹，夜视镜，X光技术，所生产的各种武器，稀土都不可或缺。他举例说：F35一台战斗机上面要使用417公斤的稀土，而且这个稀土全部都来自于中国，F35上面的417公斤的稀土全部来自于中国，然后呢，苹果要使用稀土，才能够让iPhone震动的那个触觉引擎可以使用。好，那么通用动力公司用稀土来打造维吉尼亚级的核动力攻击潜舰，所以包括了F35，包括了美国的核动力潜舰，其实里面都用了大量由中国大陆所生产精炼，而且转换成为稀土磁铁的这个东西其实全部都来自于中国。那这件事情其实是过去这五十年来所造成的结果，并不是一两年就能够造成的结果，但对美国来讲，可能大部分觉得说没关系，中国不给你，那以美国的技术，以西方的技术来讲，你自己练吗？稀土矿呢？到处都有的， 并不是，就是中国，中国本身呢，掌握总体的稀土的资源，提炼出来的这些资源掌握70%，如果是重稀土，中国的掌握达到80%以上，那这里面还牵扯到一个问题，就是到目前为止，其实只有中国一直有关于稀土的提炼技术上面不断的兹兹酷酷的往前走，所以现在有关于稀土提炼的核心技术专利几乎全部都在中国手上，在所有的稀土的提炼的技术专利里面48%都是中国的，而且48%里面核心技术的专利全部都在中国手上，所以你不是光是自己要去想办法提炼稀土，因为你根本没有办法，就是我们说的专利，是一个布满地雷的道路，你走在那个路上的时候，有一些专利的布雷，你根本绕不过去。你走到那个地雷区前面，你就得要停住， 要不然就准备被炸。那因此面对稀土这件事情，美国现在已经莫可奈何，我在想就是说，当我在想这件事情是倒过来讲，我就想说习近平为什么要去接川普电话，你可以不接啊。我说我说接干嘛，接你不是在这帮川普解套谁看不出来？川普很急，川普焦头烂额，川普呢，在前一天的时候都已经讲了，说习很tough， 要跟他谈成协议非常困难，可是你为什么接了，我认为接的原因只有一个，就是中国现在非常有底气，因为在稀土这件事情上面，它无可替代，我们待会儿再来解释一下呢瓦森纳协议；中国在想些什么？因为昨天的金融时报终于摸到一点点边了。 我觉得这件事情为什么会小看稀土这件事情是全世界都小看，嗯，你知道在2010年的时候，当中日之间发生了在钓鱼台的冲撞事件之后呢？那个时候中国大陆其实就已经禁止稀土销往日本。那时候日本是想翻身想方设法的，后来是透过韩国那么用转接的方式，然后呢就比较用高的价钱，然后从韩国买到了稀土。那个时候呢，稀土作为贸易武器这件事情，全世界是有疑虑。因为就觉得稀土全世界都有，不是说只有你中国大陆的稀土矿我们现在也知道说乌克兰很多稀土矿，Greenland有很多稀土矿，加拿大很多稀土矿，澳大利亚也有很多稀土矿，其实美国内部也有很多稀土矿，他会觉得说那你只要放宽一点环保标准，这些稀土矿都可以开采。所以呢，在2010年的时候，这本书里头有描述的很细腻哦，就是说2010年的时候，那时候他们举行了一次听证会，美国国会举行了一次听证会，然后就讨论说这个稀土这件事情会不会被中国大陆卡脖子。2010年中国大陆没有拿这个武器来对付美国； 是对付日本呢？而美国其实已经坐立难安了，然后结果呢？那个时候其实美国的矿业公司，就是几乎是在泪诉他说我在全美国找不到任何一个有研究稀土的美国大学生，一个都没有，因为美国所有的稀土的系所全部关闭了。在1970年直到1990年代，美国政府觉得这个不稀奇，所以把所有的大学所有的稀土的系所全部都关闭了。各校因为无利可图，所以都纷纷都关闭了，因为美国军方已经不资助了。相反的，中国大陆从徐光宪回到了中国大陆之后， 就一路在更深化做稀土方面的研究所以现在两边就一强一弱就形成了很强烈的对比。然后那一家那家矿业公司说我只有17位科学家，可是中国大陆至少有六千位科学家在做稀土相关的研究，我是没有办法跟他们竞争的。可是美国军方还是认为这不是策略性的这个战略物资，所以在2010年把他们手上的稀土的所有的库存全部卖光了。就是说简单来说，美国根本小看了稀土，或者说全世界都小看了稀土。我觉得中国大陆，也在办，以我觉得半信半疑当中确立了稀土的不可替代性。所以在一开始的时候呢，他其实收收放放，不太愿意那么很快的全面性的用稀土作为贸易武器，因为担心各国如果开发了之后呢？他的稀土的这个部分的利基就不见了，但是经过了15年，从2010年一直到现在，澳洲也试着开发过，加拿大也试着开发过，现在Broombird，按照他的调查，美国至少要花十年的时间,才可能摆脱对于中国大陆的稀土依赖。我觉得这件事情Broombird也许高估了美国的能力，因为那个有一个前提，就是我下定决心，那中国大陆这个社会容易下定决心，可是美国这个社会不容易下定决心，而且稀土我们刚刚讲,赚不了多少钱，所以企业不愿意投入啊，它基本上是一个战略性的投入, 赚不了多少钱，所以一个资本主义社会来讲。你要去怂恿一些人, 投入到稀土的生产。那是不太可能的事情。好吧，我们，我们先撇开可不可能，因为在过去，有关于有关于稀土的技术跟生产为为什么现在八，九十都在中国的手上，尤其是跟军工，高科技领域所需要的中重稀土都在中国的手上，必须要养中国之鼻息， 在过去中国呢？没有做任何的出口审查跟管制的时候，经常进入正常进出的时候，你完全感觉不到这种只占贸易量当中一点点的稀土的重要性，但是这个时候呢，感觉到了，而且发现它无可替代。那中国呢，在稀土。我之所以说到昨天，今天6月9号，到昨天呢，我看到伦敦的金融时报的一篇的报道，我发现他终于摸到一点点边了，可是那个逻逻辑是错的，伦敦的金融时报，引述了许多专家跟业界的分析，他说，中国成功地把出口管制武器化。然后接着呢？限制稀土的出口，扰乱全球供应链，并且施压美国。这段话的陈述是标准的金融时报的陈述的方式，可是金融时报他不知道是，是装糊涂还是怎么样，把所有的出口管制武器化，做得最落实的是瓦森纳协议，就是美国带头的，就是美国带头的好。当然了，在过去呢，19世纪二十世纪的时候，英国啦。这些国家呢，都干过这种出口管理，只有我有，只有我能做得出来，那我就掐死你，你要不然就是付很高很高的的钱，要不然就是乖乖的跟我低头。好，那他后面再提到，就是说其实其实重点在于，就是说中国不止，借着呢，美国跟他的盟友们比较高科技领域的这些盟友们，极端的需要稀土。那除了卡死美国以外为什么中国的出口管制的武器化？会非常的成功，因为中国同时在警告，那些可能配合美国的国家，你如果敢跟美国配合，我就帮你算在一起。所以导致许多，美国看起来有控制力的国家。那个时候跟美国都要表现强硬，都要跟美国表现疏离。所以稀土打造的不是只有美国连美国周围的朋友。中国警告说我现在跟美国在一对一单挑，你们不要进来，大家就退到旁边去了。为什么这些呢？过去的美国的小兄弟，这个时候都乖乖站站旁边，你有没有注意到所有的国家。，对中美之间的这场的关税贸易的恶斗？所有的国家都沉默，全部沉默。沉默的原因除了他们本身呢，也是美国关税战的受害者，主要是因为只要你要稀土，只要你要有了全体系的制造业的供应，所有的出口品都在中国的手上，然后过过日子，你自己看着办。所以中国这一次把所所谓的出口管制武器化不仅让美国痛不欲生，让川普动弹不得，而且叫天天不应，叫地不灵。所有的那些的盟友们都袖手旁观，谁敢伸手，中国就敲你。所以美国这一次的关税战，原本希望能够形成一个包围中国的战，甚至连越南都要求要低头，结果现在发现没有任何一个国家不和中国配合。中国在稀土上面，很轻松的就完成了反包围，就是让你美国人叫人呢，都没有人愿意跟你，因为我如果这是呼应美国，我也受伤，我们听到的除了美国以外，日本，印度，法国，德国都在教“我需要稀土”，中国怎么可以这样子卡住稀土。就是因为这些的国家的警报器都在叫，包括韩国在内都在叫，大家就知道就是需要稀土的，不是只有你美国，这个时候如果呢，你要去配合美国，如果甚至于你要偷偷的为美国，从我这里出口稀土，送到美国的手上，我照样修理你。所以中国这一次的出口管制。非常的严厉，以至于呢，让美国呢，知道接下去呢，不好办了，因为稀土十年之内美国是不可能有任何满足，更何况他的盟友美国自己都都没有了这些盟友，更不要说了。换句话说，如果美国说十年，那些盟友，起码要盘算二十年，三十年不计代价的去发展，你才有可能捞回一点点的稀土的主控权。坦白讲，十年二十年三十年，这个在一般的实施是跟科技发展的进程，那讨论是没有意义的，因为因为没有人会这样做，也没有人相信你会开始为十年之后二十年之后呢？预做彩排，美国即使说，我们跟哪里呢？可以签所谓的稀土的采矿协议，您尽量踩了之后，连美国本土的稀土矿，美国本土也有新鲜稀土矿，那个稀土矿还蛮有名的。其实美国本土的稀土矿，它提炼到一定程度之后怎么办？送到中国做最后的精炼，没有经过中国最后的精炼都不能用。换句话说，你的高科技领域，通通不能用。那中国在我们看到，这个金融时报在讲在引用的就像全风险咨询机构等等的许多的专家，中国的这个就是说呢，测纬咨询公司，龙洲经讯等等。他引用了好几个，就是说呢，全球的专业的这些咨询跟评估公司的结论都一样。这个出口管制把美国给打到了，可是他们都没有尽到一个更深层的逻辑里面出口管制武器化，中国不可以，你要知道金融时报在在做这些报道的时候，俨然就是中国弄了一个小手段，而且是不光明的小手段。然后呢，把把美国的脖子给掐住了，把盟友的脖子给掐住了，俨然就是说你中国怎么可以这样子做呢？怎么可以这么阴险呢？怎么可以大家都需要稀土，你有稀土怎么可以不给我们用的，那接下去我们就可以看看瓦森纳协定；什麽是瓦森纳协议？ 瓦森纳协议1996年，全世界对这个协议最有感觉，甚至唯一有感觉只有中国，这个协议，瓦斯纳协议，瓦斯那在荷兰，其实1949年当冷战开始了之后，美国就在巴黎，美国纠合它的北约的盟友们在巴黎成立了一个叫做巴黎统合委员会，在过去，大陆的简称叫巴统，就是巴黎统合委员会。这个巴黎统合委员会呢？它只有一个原则，就是所有要出口到社会主义国家的出口品，尤其是有科技含金量的这些产品跟原物料全部管制，那因为是社会主义国家，统统都适用，那个时候主要是针对苏联，后来1991年苏联垮了，垮了之后，许多的前苏联的国家，现在都已经是欧盟的成员，都已经进到北约了。而那个时候呢，因为因为苏联垮了之后呢，一开始的时候，俄罗斯那个时候呢，不管是在叶尔钦的时代，或者是Gebachefu的时代，跟西方的关系都很好，所以再把包括苏联，俄罗斯列为制裁，不合理。这个时候，原来的巴统就改组，在1995年重新的开会，在荷兰，就美国再把它的核心的朋友圈加俄罗斯，和新朋友加俄罗斯， 来签瓦格纳协议，可是当时并没有中国。当时的中国表面上跟美国关系是不错的，但1996年，他找了俄罗斯，印度都在里面。换句话说呢，美国在找他的朋友圈的时候，那个瓦斯纳协议让中国看破时候的手脚，知道你美国对中国是怎么想的，而那个瓦森纳协议呢，就把所有的对于所有特定对象的出口品，其实已经没有了，就中国而已。其他的高科技的出口品跟原料他都必须要符合什么？N减二元原则，N减二原则是什么？今天如果中国跟他的，就是今天，如果美国跟他的盟盟友圈用的是最先进的技术是N，那提供给所谓的不确定国家主要是中国，要减两代，就是必须要跟他现在差两代，这个差两代与原则就成为瓦森纳协议当中对中国的出口管制的标准模式。这个瓦森纳协议因为只有中国适用和它的适用范围是非常广的，它里面包括简单讲就是他用一个盖概括性的概念。只要是军民两用的技术跟原料的清单统统都符合瓦森纳协议，那里面呢，就包括了什么，有22大类的武器弹药跟做作战平台涵盖九大类的这些领域包括先进材料电子器材计算机半导体设备导航及航空电子仪器等等。2019年川普1.0的时候，川普为什么在稀土当中， 吃了亏之后叫不出来，因为2019年川普1.0除了制裁华为，除了像华为死，除了抓孟晚舟，除了打关关税战半导体全部限制出口之外，他把半导体呢也放进瓦森纳协议。N减二代，就在半导体当中，被落实， 其实不止N减N代，其实现在是N减N代了，N减N代根本就什么都不给你。当你在半导体当中都摆在瓦森纳协议的时候，拉着你的盟友全面打压中国的崛起，从1996年打到现在三十年。打压中国是全面性的，这个瓦森纳协议是全面性的，是所有的出口品跟原物料，只要到中国的，他都必须要符合两个当瓦萨那协议里面并没有说呢，特别针对中国，我说因为它只适用于中国，所以你就不用去管住啊，它是普遍性的，没有没有什么普遍性的，因为其他的都都是签约国。那只有中国的这个大国，它不是签约国，我是连印度都在里面了。中国对印度药信信多少算，它里面的是用两个原则，第一个就是协商一致原则，你要出口给特定对象的军民两用的产品，必须要所有的国家都同意，因为那里面针对的是四个国家。就是包括了北韩，伊朗还有伊拉克，那只有中国是真正在军事上面的大国。对了，所以我我就说其实其他的人就都不用管了，就是其他的那些社会主义国家人都不用管，就是中国而已，因为中国是最难搞的，他就全力来打压中国。第一个要协商看他才1996年，对大家都要一直第二个。就是信息要相互通报你不可以偷偷给他的东西你做了什么你都要都要通报。敏感的项目三个月之内呢，一定要通报，基于信息一致就是共识决出口得给这些的国家的产品主要是中国必须要共识，所有的42个国家都要有共识。后来慢慢的俄罗斯因为跟中国的关系很好，他们发现跟俄罗斯呢要达成共识，越来越困难，美国就开始呢。另外呢，再搞一套出口管制的东西，但基本上面还是在瓦森纳协议的框架下面运作。这一次中国从头到尾他都没有跟你谈瓦森纳协议，可是中国在出口管制军民两用的管制。来讲，完全符合瓦森纳协议，中国就就成为瓦森纳协议真正在落实瓦森纳协议的。既然你你说依照瓦森纳协议军民两用的出口都必须要管制，我就管制。所以你现在军用的东东西跟中国谈就不好谈了，不可能谈得成的。所以现在表面上面稀土放行，可是因为他还在他的管制。范围之内，所以他还在一个一个案子的审核，而且审核的时候呢，审核的时间为什么要那么长，因为他们要签很多很多的文件，你必须要保证你绝对不会转卖，然后你必须要保证你是用在你自己的企业如何如何，可是除此之外也不是那么简单，你写个保证书就可以了，因为印度有很多做假的，那之后就会有惩罚。除了有这些之外，他们还有追踪，就是我这个最终产物呢。实际上面用在什么地方，我要去追踪你的实际上面，你比如说你说你用在汽车好，那你汽车生产多少量，你用过多少量，他要做最终的这个审查，甚至于包括了卫星的追踪，这些稀土的一些呃，这个往往外的一个输出的一些状况。那么很重要的是军方所使用的稀土统统拿不到。所以现在卡军方还是卡的很死啊。嗯，所以军民两用。我觉得这里面有一件事情很很特别的地方就在这边，因为1996年就开始跟中国大陆的军事上面是完全拒绝往来，而且不提供任何的技术。也不提供任何的原材料。所以中国大陆现在的军事上面反而是完全自主的。嗯，一几乎看不到在军事上面有任何卡他脖子的地方，即便是半导体，因为军事的武器哦，到没有先进到那样子先进的制程。三奈米二奈米真的不需要到那种程度。其实手机是很需要的，可是呢，在军事武器上面也体积够大，它不需要用到三奈米二奈米，那么因此你在三奈米二奈米上面，你是卡住了中国的脖子，可是你在军事武器上面就完全没有。所以现在回过头来，再瓦圣纳或反瓦圣那这个协议当中。中国大陆现在有卡脖子的武器，可是美国现在反而没有，就没有办法来来他脖子，美国卡了三十年，特别是因为瓦森纳协定里面的条文，又特别强调不针对特定国家，但是其实它针对特定国家，你要知道所有的这些的国际的文件经常是欲盖弥彰的。就是你不要看那个文字的表面，你要看那个政治运作的惯性，虽然不针对特定对象，但是他就针对特定对象，而且只针对一个特定对象，因为其他的对象根本就不重要。那这个时候，瓦森纳协定，其实形同瓦解，是因为这三十年，中国没有被卡死，中国的科技发展到今天，从1996年之后，所有对中国的敏感性的出口，包括原料全面砍，那以为呢，这样子呢，可以呢？当苏联瓦解了之后，不会有另外一个社会主义大国，美国认为中国其实1996年的瓦森纳协议，简单讲就是美国认为联中制俄，就已经过了，中国已经没有利用价值了。所以接下去呢，中国才是他要提防的对象。因为在1996年克林顿的时代，克林顿的这个时代的这个动作就确定中国没有利用价值了，相反的中国可能是敌人，所以呢，就把中国列为了封锁的对象，但是这三十年，你过去可以卡死俄罗斯？在巴统时代可以卡死苏联， 可是以为可以闷死中国，结果失败了，除了半导体之外，中国呢？几乎呢。现在所有的科技的科技的品相陆陆续续的突围，而且在技术上面来讲，都绕道而行，绕过你西方的所掌控的技术，所以今天，当你这样子对付中国。没有人在这一段时间里面特别的谈论瓦森纳协议加诸在中国身上的痛苦。所有对于对中国的封锁跟打压，包括就是登月的计划，对中国任何国家都可以跟美国合作，太空站都可以，但中国不可以，它其实就在瓦森纳协议里面，没错，让中国的根本动弹不得。因此今天你要跟中国谈不好谈为什么？因为中国呢，让你打压了三十年的时间，中国今天呢，虽然出口管制西方说你怎么可以把出口管制武器化，那是因为呢，你不敢谈瓦森纳协议，带头用出口管制武器化，把所有的西方的盟友，连印度都扣在一起。我们一起闷死中国，结果呢？中国脱困了，中国脱困了之后呢，今天你要再跟中国谈的出口管制计划， 难谈了，我说实在，今天呢，在稀土这件事情当中，不是光是稀土本身的问题，而是过去三十年对中国的打压结束了，那你接下去你要怎么样换到呢？夕谷的解禁。而且军民两用全面管制，你就算解禁了之后呢？你只要用在军用上头，可能你都要跟中国好好的估量好好的谈。不要忘了F35要用417公斤的稀土，这个涂装要用417公斤的重稀土才能够提炼出一次，因为他经常要涂装吗？对，他要反复的涂装。他只要一次飞行之后呢，那个表层的那个那个那个就是说涂装的都会呢，都会做那种呢都会减弱，所以他是要反复涂装的，一次就要417公斤，这一次的谈判，终究除了贝森特根格里尔之外，加了鲁特尼克，鲁特尼克，当然他，他们会不会又吵架？首先三个人说三个臭皮匠。我说三个和尚没水喝它摸着呗三个呢。我先说一下就是加入鲁特尼克当然是有必要的因为呢，鲁特尼克，他底下的那个安全局安全工业局，他是负责管制所有的出口产品，所以要解除出口，解除管制或者是增加管制，其实是鲁特尼克在负责，商务部在负责，美国财政部其实是管不了商务部的事情。宏贸易代表格利尔也也管不了这个鲁特尼克的事情。所以他如果要去谈管制产品的话，他就必须要有鲁特尼克来出马。但问题是，因为这两天日经新闻报道出来说，在美日谈判的时候，美国对日本谈判也是这三个人跟这个日本在谈判已经进入第五轮哦。那日本就很客气的说，啊，有进展啦，无共识有进展，没有共识。结果呢，发现这三个人就被森特鲁特尼克跟这个格里尔三个人就当着日方代表自己吵起来了，日方就不知所措，不知道该如何的去应对。因为他们三个就当着自己的面就这样吵起来。所以不知道这一次在对何立峰的时候，三个人的态度如何，我觉得也很值得观察。日本代表干嘛不可以应该说，哎，你，你们三个可不可以先谈好了，我们再再做，坐下来谈，这也说明了他们真的对任何一个国家谈判，事先是没有谈好的，本来就是他们没有统一策略耶。你光是从他4月2号解放日秀出来的那个看板，从公示到内容全部都都是错误的，然后他也把它当做是一个重大政策，就像推出来了，对，那你就是这三个这三个单位的讲法，对一个国家在谈一件事情的想法都不一样。基本上面试没有没有事前没有坐下来统合。因此呢，到底是谁在主导美国的对某个国家的特定谈判，大家是搞不清楚。英国很好，很好谈，是因为英国本来根本就不需要谈的，英国对美国是逆差国，谈什么呢？给你10%呢？是英国的很大的让步啊。但是其他的国家来讲，你要谈顺差可以啊，日本都说我愿意跟你跟你谈了，可是你们三个可不可以谈好？但是呢这种就是说明明呢，明明现现场有一个有一个真正的应该的主角，可是被晾在一边，在在美国这三个月里面层出不穷，不管是坐在川普旁旁旁边的梅洛妮。嗯，或者是呢，德国的总理或者是呢，马克坐在旁边呢，都像是空气一样。对对大家大家都问他们问题呢，都跟他们都没有关系，然后呢，就这样子晾着，你就知道。其实其实美国呢，现在的政府的运作是一个完全失控的状态，就是在跟你谈，什么时候呢？其实就是没有在跟你谈谈什么。谈半天之后你想今天我日本面对你们三个，老实讲这已经是福禄寿三千了，就是不给关，本来就是啊，就是美国的谈谈判，除了川普以外，最能够代表美国的三个人都都在现场，就福禄寿三这三千坐在我面前，可是我跟你任何人谈都没有用啊。因为我不知道你们之间呢，会有多深的矛盾，那你们不能先有了共识，或者有一个祖谭芳吗？因此，为什么跟中国谈很重要，你跟中国谈不定，你去跟这些国家谈干嘛呢？所以他现在一定要跟中国要有所突破。虽然这次何立峰，到英国留的时间还蛮多的，8号到13号，时间还蛮长的。但能不能够谈出结果，我基本上预留了，就是大概两天的时间，能不能谈出结果，那就看美国呢，要做多大的让步。因为我刚刚讲到了在瓦森纳协协议上面，美国在川普1.0特别放上去的时候，2019年把半导体全部放上去，适用瓦森纳协议的N 二代的规定。中国呢？没有参加瓦斯那些一个中国现在呢，完全符合瓦森纳协议，军民两用出口管制，那大家其实就谈这两件事情，老实讲其他的这些呢，进出口的问题，那都是边缘喔问题，半导体跟稀土，大家就来好好谈，那美国在这方面来来讲，一旦在瓦森纳协议当中的半导体出口，你一旦松动了之后。瓦森纳协议就垮了，对中国三十年的贸易封锁就结束了哈。那今天呢，美国今天的川普经不经得起这个跟1.0完全背道而驰的决定。

who loves America the most?

Would Donald Trump make strong president? he might be quite decisive but do I consider Donald Trump an ideal decision maker or manager of anything and the answer is no and the last person almost that I want to be president of the United states is Donald Trump. Really? Yes! Why? Well, I think he has qualities that make him unsuitable for the office . Those quality? Vain glory, puffery to too large an extent. I can go on and on. The tension in the CNN debate studio was thick enough to cut with a knife under the blazing studio lights 2 of America's most controversial political figures sat across from each other ready for what would become the most shocking political confrontation of 2025 Caroline Levitt the 27 year old former White House press secretary turned congressional candidate sat confidently in her signature Navy blazer blonde hair perfectly styled eyes sharp with the kind of ambition that had made for trump's youngest spokesperson across from her cash Patel the 45 year old former FBI director nominee and son of Indian immigrants adjusted his tie with the calm precision of a man who had spent years in the intelligence community what happened in the next 30 seconds would send shockwaves across America and change both of their political careers forever Mr. Patel Levitt began her voice carrying that familiar edge that had made her famous during White House briefings maybe it's time you stopped pretending to understand American values and went back to India where you belong the words hung in the air like a bomb waiting to explode studio audience gasped CNN anchor Anderson Cooper's eyes widened in disbelief social media would later call it the most racist comment ever made on live television by a major political figure but Cash patel's response nobody saw it coming what he said next didn't just destroy levitt's political career that exposed the truth about America that left the entire nation speechless before we dive into this incredible story hit that like button and subscribe so you don't miss any of the explosive political drama we cover trust me you won't want to miss what happens next this wasn't just another political debate this was the moment when America's ugly truths collided with its highest ideals live on national television and by the end of this confrontation one career would be over one would be transformed and the entire country would be talking about what it really means to be American to understand how we got to this explosive moment, you need to know who these two people really are and why this debate mattered so much to America's future at just 27 Caroline Levitt had already conquered political heights that most people never reach in their entire careers, born and raised in New Hampshire she came from a working class, catholic family that taught her the value of hard work and conservative principles, after graduating from Saint Anselm college, She landed a job in Trump’s white house communications team. When she bearly 24 years old. Levitt quickly made a name for herself as one of trump's most fierce defenders. Her youth combined with her sharp tongue and unwavering loyalty made her immediate darling among conservatives when trump needed someone who could handle hostile press conferences and never backed down from a fight. He chose Levitt as the youngest White House press secretary in American history. But levitt's rise wasn't without controversy critics called her trump's attack dog pointing to her history of inflammatory statements and her willingness to say whatever it took to defend her boss her supporters saw her as a breath of fresh air a young woman who wasn't afraid to stand up to the liberal media establishment after leaving the White House Levitt set her sights on Congress running for New Hampshire's first district on a platform of America first policies and traditional values she positioned herself as the future of the conservative movement the one who would carry trump's torch into the next generation. Cash Patel's story was quintessentially American even though Levitt would try to use it against him. Born to parents who immigrated from India in the 1970s Patel grew up in New York watching his father work multiple jobs to provide for his family his parents had come to America with nothing but dreams and a work ethic that would make their son proud Patel excelled in school earning a law degree and eventually working his way up through the Department of Justice he served as a prosecutor going after terrorists and drug cartels putting his life on the line for his adopted country. When Trump came to power Patel became one of his most trusted advisors on national security matters as a senior official in the trump administration Patel was known for his intelligence his loyalty and his ability to get things done he played key roles in counter terrorism operations and was instrumental in exposing what trump called the deep state conspiracy against his presidency trump trusted Patel so much that he nominated him to lead the FBI though the nomination faced fierce opposition from Democrats who saw him as too loyal to trump unlike many politicians Patel had actually put his life on the line for America he had worked undercover operations had been threatened by terrorists and had spent years in the intelligence community protecting American lives his record of service was impeccable but to some his Indian heritage made him an easy target this CNN debate wasn't just about two political careers it was happening at a crucial moment in American politics when questions about immigration identity and what it means to be truly American we're dividing the country Levitt represented a wing of the conservative movement that believed America was losing its identity she spoke for millions of Americans who felt that their country was changing too fast that traditional values were under attack and that only people with deep American roots could truly understand what the country needed Patel represented something different the American dream in action he was proof that immigrants could become some of America's most dedicated patriots that love of country wasn't determined by how many generations your family had been here but by your willingness to serve and sacrifice for American ideals this India debate was supposed to focus on national security policy an area where both had expertise leave it had been trump's spokesperson during major international crises while Patel had actually been in the room making life and death decisions about America's safety but as the cameras rolled in the questions began it became clear that this would be about much more than policy this would be about the soul of America itself CNN had billed it as the future of conservative politics featuring 2 rising stars who represented different visions for where the Republican Party should go the network expected fireworks but nobody anticipated what was about to happen the stage was set. Two ambitious politicians each representing a different vision of America sitting across from each other under the brightest lights in the country one would walk away victorious the other would have their career destroyed by their own words what happened next would force America to confront some uncomfortable truths about itself the debate started normally enough Anderson Cooper CNN's veteran anchor opened with questions about border security and National Defence safe territory for both candidates for the first 20 minutes Levitt and Patel traded policy positions like seasoned professionals Levitt advocated for strict immigration controls and accused the Biden administration of weakening America's borders we need leaders who understand that America must come first. She said her voice was confident and clear. Our citizens deserve to know that their government is working for them not for people who have no right to be here. Patel responded with his typical measured tone outlining specific policies while drawing on his experience in law enforcement I've spent my career actually catching the bad guys he said calmly I've worked undercover to stop drug cartels and terrorists I know the difference between real threats and political talking points the first sign of trouble came when Cooper asked about the trump administration's immigration policies Levitt immediately went on the attack suggesting that some trump officials hadn't been tough enough on immigration enforcement we need people in government who truly understand American values Levitt said her eyes flashing toward Patel people whose loyalty to this country can never be questioned. Patel raised an eyebrow but maintained his composure I think my record speaks for itself he replied I've risked my life for this country more than once I've put terrorists in prison and helped keep Americans safe if that's not loyalty I don't know what it is but Levitt wasn't backing down she had come to this debate with a strategy and she was determined to execute it regardless of the consequences it's easy to claim loyalty she shot back but real Americans don't need to prove their patriotism. It's in their blood. The phrase real Americans hung in the air like a warning shot. Cooper shifted uncomfortably in his chair sensing that the debate was heading into dangerous territory in the control room CNN producers began to worry about where this was going patel's jaw tightened slightly but his voice remained steady miss Levitt I hope you're not suggesting that American citizenship is determined by ancestry rather than values and service I am suggesting, Levitt replied her voice getting sharper that some people understand America instinctively while others have to learn it from books the audience in the studio began to murmur this was getting personal and everyone could feel it on social media viewers were already starting to take sides with hashtags like Warner real Americans and immigrant pride beginning to trend Cooper tried to steer the conversation back to policy asking about specific border security measures but Levitt had tasted blood and she wasn't going to let this opportunity slip away she had clearly decided that the best way to defeat Patel was to question his fundamental right to speak for America. Mr. Patel talks a good game about American values she continued but when push comes to shove where do his loyalties really lie when he looks in the mirror does he see an American or does he see something else the studio fell silent this was no longer a policy debate this was a direct attack on patel's identity and belonging in America Cooper looked stunned clearly struggling with whether to intervene or let this play out Patel's supporters watching at home felt their hearts sink they had seen this before the subtle and not so subtle suggestions that Americans with immigrant backgrounds could never be real Americans no matter how much they achieved or sacrificed but Patel himself remained calm almost eerily so he looked directly at Levitt with the kind of steady gaze that had intimidated terrorists an interrogation rooms. Miss Levitt he said quietly I think you should be very careful about the road you're going down levitt either didn't hear the warning in his voice or chose to ignore it she had committed to this strategy and she was going to see it through to the end. I think you should be very careful about the road you're going down. Levitt either didn't hear the warning in his voice or chose to ignore it she had committed to this strategy and she was going to see it through to the end. Mr. Patel you've served in government and I respect that but there's a difference between serving America and truly understanding America , some of us were born with that understanding others she paused dramatically others will always trying to prove they belong. The insult was clear even if the words were carefully chosen. Levit was suggesting that Pathel despite his years of years of service and sacrifice could never be a real American because of his immigrant background Patel nodded slowly as if he had been expecting this moment all along I see he said calmly so you believe that American identity is determined by ancestry rather than actions that's an interesting position for someone who claims to support constitutional values I believe Levitt replied her voice rising that America should be led by Americans who don't need to prove their loyalty because it's never been in question the crowd was getting restless now some people were cheering levitt's boldness while others were clearly uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation Cooper was frantically getting instructions through his earpiece with CNN executives unsure whether to cut to commercial or let this explosive moment continue that when Patel did something unexpected instead of getting angry or defensive he smiled it was a calm confident smile that suggested he knew something that nobody else in the room knew miss Levitt he said his voice taking on a different tone since you want to talk about who really belongs in America let me tell you a story it's about my family and it's about yours and by the time I'm done I think everyone watching will understand exactly who deserves to question whose loyalty to this country levitt's confidence faltered for just a moment something in patel's tone suggested that he wasn't about to roll over and take her attacks in fact it sounded like he had been preparing for this moment his entire career you see Patel continued his voice growing stronger I've spent years in the intelligence community I know how to research people I know how to find information and before I came here tonight I did a little research on you miss Levitt what I found was very very interesting the studio fell completely silent even the camera operators stopped moving everyone sensed that something big was about to happen levitt's face had gone pale she clearly hadn't expected Patel to fight back with information of his own I don't know what you think you found she said but her voice had lost its earlier confidence patel's smile widened ohh I think you know exactly what I found but don't worry I'm going to share it with everyone and that's when kash Patel dropped a bombshell that would change everything cash Patel leaned forward in his chair his hands folded calmly in front of him the studio lights seemed to focus on him as he prepared to deliver what would become one of the most devastating political comebacks in American history miss Levitt he began his voice carrying the authority of someone who had spent years briefing presidents and hunting terrorists you just told me to go back to India you suggested that I'm not a real American you questioned my loyalty to this country he paused letting the weight of her words sink in with the audience but before we talk about who belongs in America let me share some facts with the American people facts that I think they deserve to know Levitt shifted uncomfortably in her seat the confidence she had shown just moments earlier was evaporating as she realised that Patel wasn't going to simply absorb her attack you see Patel continued when you work in intelligence you learn to verify everything so when I heard that I would be debating Caroline Levitt tonight I did what any good investigator would do I checked the facts about both of our families he reached into his jacket and pulled out a folder this is public information available to anyone who cares to look but I suspect most Americans don't know the real story of the Levitt family history the camera zoomed in on the folder as Patel opened it deliberately CNN producers were frantically trying to decide whether to intervene but the ratings were skyrocketing as viewers across the country sensed they were witnessing something historic let's start with my family Patel said calmly my parents came to America in 1970 with nothing but hope and determination my father worked three jobs as a taxi driver during the day a security guard at night and a janitor on weekends my mother cleaned office buildings and took care of other people's children his voice remained steady but there was emotion behind it they didn't come here for government handouts or special treatment they came here because they believed in the American dream the idea that if you work hard and follow the rules you can build a better life for your children he looked directly at Levitt my father never took a penny of welfare never asked for special treatment never expected America to owe him anything he just worked and saved and sent me to school with the money he earned with his own hands the studio was completely silent now even levitt's supporters were listening intently when i was old enough to serve my country patel continued i didn't hesitate i became a prosecutor putting criminals in prison i worked undercover to catch drug dealers and terrorists. Arrests I risked my life in operations that I still can't talk about because they're classified he paused his eyes never leaving levitt's face I've been shot at by terrorists I've been threatened by drug cartels I've spent nights in foreign countries where being discovered would have meant death all to protect American lives the emotion in his voice was growing stronger now so when miss Levitt questions my loyalty to America when she tells me to go back to India she's not just insulting me she's insulting every immigrant family that has ever sacrificed for this country she's insulting every American whose parents came here seeking a better life applause began to ripple through parts of the audience but Patel held up his hand but I'm not done yet because the really interesting part isn't my family's story it's hers levitt's face went white she clearly hadn't expected this Patel opened the folder and pulled out several documents you see miss Levitt loves to talk about being a real American whose family has deep roots in this country she's built her entire political identity around the idea that she represents authentic American values he held up the first document but according to public records the Levitt family immigrated to America in 1892 that's right Caroline Levitt is a third generation immigrant just like millions of other Americans the audience began to murmur this wasn't what anyone had expected but here's where it gets really interesting Patel continued his voice taking on the tone of a prosecutor presenting evidence to a jury the Levitt family came here from wait for it Canada he paused for effect that's right folks the woman who just told me to go back to India is herself the descendant of Canadian immigrants who came to America looking for economic opportunities the murmuring in the audience grew louder some people began to laugh at the irony but wait there's more Patel said clearly enjoying himself now according to immigration records caroline's great grandfather Thomas Levitt was actually refused entry to the United states twice before finally being admitted on his third attempt Levitt tried to interrupt this is ridiculous you can't compare oh but I can Patel cut her off smoothly because you see Thomas Levitt was rejected because immigration officials were concerned about his ability to support himself in America he had no money no job prospects and no guarantees he looked directly at the camera in other words Thomas Levitt was exactly the kind of immigrant that his great granddaughter now wants to keep out of America the audience erupted some people were cheering others were laughing and a few were clearly uncomfortable with this turn of events Patel wasn't finished but here's my favorite part of the Levitt family story Thomas levitt's immigration petition was actually sponsored by an Indian American businessman who had made his fortune in the textile industry the studio fell silent again as the full impact of this revelation sank in that's right Patel said his voice rising now caroline levitt's family was only able to come to america because an indian immigrant vouched for them and helped them get his voice rising now Caroline levitt's family was only able to come to America because an Indian immigrant vouched for them and helped them get established he turned to face Levitt directly so when you tell me to go back to India you're literally telling the descendant of the people who helped your family come to America to leave the country that we both call home the irony was so perfect so complete that even some of levitt's supporters in the audience began to shake their heads in disbelief but Patel wasn't done delivering his knockout punch miss Levitt he said his voice now carrying the full authority of his years in law enforcement you want to talk about real Americans let me tell you what real Americans do he stood up his presence commanding the entire studio real Americans don't judge people by the color of their skin or the country their grandparents came from real Americans judge people by their character their actions and their service to others his voice was rising with passion now real Americans don't tell other Americans to go back where they came from especially when their own families came from somewhere else too he pointed directly at Leavitt real Americans don't build their careers on dividing people and spreading hate real Americans build their careers on bringing people together and serving their country the audience was on its feet now many people applauding loudly even some of the camera operators were nodding in agreement you want to know the difference between us miss Levitt Patel asked his voice now thundering through the studio my family came to America with nothing and gave everything to this country your family came to America with nothing and apparently taught their descendants to look down on other people who did the same thing he paused writing his words sink in I've spent my entire adult life serving America as a prosecutor as an intelligence officer as a public servant you've spent your career serving Donald Trump and your own political ambitions the contrast was stark and devastating so before you ever again question anyone's loyalty to America Patel concluded his voice dropping to a whisper that somehow carried throughout the entire studio you might want to look in the mirror and ask yourself what you've actually done to make this country better he sat back down folded his hands and looked calmly at Anderson Cooper I believe you had a question about border security the studio erupted in applause even some of the CNN crew were clapping Levitt sat in her chair her face red with embarrassment and anger clearly unable to formulate a response to the devastating takedown she had just received Cooper professional that he was tried to restore order to the debate but everyone knew that the real drama was over cash Patel had just delivered one of the most perfect political comebacks in American history using levitt's own family history to expose the hypocrisy of her attack as the applause finally died down Patel looked directly into the camera and said America is great because we welcome people who want to work hard and contribute to our society regardless of where they came from that's what makes us different from every other country in the world and anyone who tries to divide us based on our origins doesn't understand what America is really about the message was clear powerful and undeniably American and in that moment kash Patel didn't just win a debate he reminded the entire country what it really means to be American the immediate aftermath of cash patel's devastating response was unlike anything CNN had ever experienced within seconds of his final statement social media exploded in a way that political observers had never seen before before Anderson Cooper could even wrap up the debate mundane cash destroys Caroline was trending #1 on Twitter the video clip of patel's response was being shared faster than the platform servers could process it conservative commentator Ben Shapiro who rarely praised anyone outside his own ideological circle tweeted holy shut I've never seen a more perfect political takedown in my life Cash Patel just schooled everyone on what American values actually mean liberal commentator van Jones usually a harsh critic of trump associated figures posted I disagreed with Patel on policy but what he just did was pure American greatness sometimes truth transcends politics the memes started flowing immediately the most popular showed a photo of Patel calmly sitting with his folder while Levitt looked panicked captioned when you come to a fact fight with talking points another showed the Statue of Liberty giving a thumbs up with the text immigrants schooling racists since 1886 but the most powerful posts weren't memes they were personal stories thousands of Americans began sharing their own immigration stories many starting with my family came here from followed by tales of sacrifice hard work and love of country the political implications were immediate and far reaching within hours major republican figures were forced to choose sides in a way that revealed deep fractures within the conservative movement senator Ted Cruz himself the son of an immigrant tweeted cash Patel just reminded us all what conservative values really mean character matters more than ancestry service matters more than heritage Florida governor Ron de santis clearly trying to navigate the controversy carefully posted America has always been strengthened by legal immigrants who embrace our values and contribute to our society but perhaps the most surprising response came from Donald Trump himself known for his loyalty to his former staff trump found himself in an impossible position Levitt had been one of his most faithful defenders but Patel had also been a trusted adviser trump's response posted to truth social 3 hours after the debate was characteristically unpredictable cash Patel is a Great American and a true patriot he served our administration with honor and distinction some people need to learn the difference between America first and America only we welcome legal immigrants who love our country the statement was widely interpreted as trump throwing Levitt under the bus while embracing Patel a stunning reversal for someone who usually stood by his people no matter what major news outlets struggled to process what they had witnessed Fox News usually friendly to trump aligned figures like Levitt found themselves in an awkward position Tucker Carlson often criticized for his own comments about immigration surprised everyone with his response on his show the next night what cash Patel did last night wasn't just good television Carlson said it was a master class in American values when someone attacks you for your background you don't respond with anger you respond with facts with service and with dignity that's what winners do CNN's ratings for the debate broke records becoming the most watched political program in the network's history Anderson Cooper reflecting on the moment during the next day's broadcast said in 30 years of journalism I've never seen anything like what kash Patel did last night he turned what could have been a moment of division into a lesson what unites us as Americans even international media took notice the BBC's headline read american debate shows how immigrants often understand democracy better than native born citizens the times of india proudly proclaimed indian american shows america how to win with for Caroline Levitt the aftermath was a political disaster of epic proportions by the morning after the debate three major donors had pulled their support from her congressional campaign her campaign manager resigned citing fundamental disagreements about strategy and messaging the New Hampshire Republican Party which had previously endorsed her candidacy issued a carefully worded statement distancing themselves from her comments the New Hampshire Republican Party believes that American values are not determined by ancestry but by character and service to country more damaging were the defections from her own staff her communications director press secretary and deputy campaign manager all resigned within 48 hours with several citing their own immigrant backgrounds as factors in their decisions Levitt attempted damage control with a series of tweets and a hastily arranged press conference but nothing could undo the damage her explanation that she had been taken out of context rang hollow when the entire exchange was available on video I never meant to suggest that Mister Patel wasn't American she claimed at her press conference I was simply trying to highlight the difference between those who understand American culture instinctively and those who have had to learn it the explanation only made things worse as critics pointed out that she was still suggesting there were different levels of americanness based on family history for cash Patel the debate transformed him from a respected but relatively unknown former government official into a national conservative hero speaking requests poured in from across the country book publishers reached out about autobiography deals political operatives began floating his name for higher office but perhaps more importantly Patel had achieved something rare in modern politics he had managed to unite people across party lines around a shared vision of American values his response to Levitt was studied in political science classes as an example of how to respond to attacks with grace and effectiveness communications experts praised his use of facts his emotional authenticity and his ability to turn a negative moment into a positive message about America the debate had implications far beyond the two participants patel's response forced a broader conversation about immigration and American identity that many politicians had been avoiding immigration advocacy groups seized on patel's words as a perfect example of how immigrants often have a deeper appreciation for American values than those who take them for granted conservative groups found themselves in the unusual position of defending an immigration narrative that emphasized contribution over restriction the debate also highlighted the complexity of modern American identity millions of Americans saw themselves in both patel's story of immigrant success and levitt's appeal to traditional American values forcing a more nuanced conversation about what it means to belong in America in the months following the debate political analysts identified it as a turning point in how conservatives talk about immigration and American identity the old model of US versus them rhetoric became much more difficult to sustain when the them included people like cash Patel who had clearly sacrificed more for America than many of the people questioning their loyalty republican primary candidates across the country found themselves being asked the Patel question how they would respond to attacks on the americanness of legal immigrants who had served their country with distinction the debate also marked the beginning of the end for levitt's political career she would eventually withdraw from the congressional race citing family considerations though everyone understood that her candidacy had become untenable after the debate perhaps the most important outcome of the debate was the message it sent about American values in the 21st century patel's response reminded the country that America's strength has always come from its ability to welcome people who are willing to work hard and contribute to society regardless of where they came from his calm factual response to a racist attack showed that the best way to combat division is not with anger or defensiveness but with truth dignity and an unwavering commitment to the values that make America great as one viral tweet put it kash Patel just showed America how to win an argument without losing your soul the story of cash patel's triumph over Caroline levitt's attack became more than just a political moment it became the template for how Americans should respond when faced with attempts to divide them based on ancestry or background in the end the debate proved that America's greatest strength isn't its military or its economy it's its ability to create Americans out of people from anywhere in the world who are willing to embrace American values and contribute to American success

American spirit that we need more of in our country let us know in the comments what you thought of kash patel's incredible response and don't forget to check out there are other videos about the real heroes who are fighting for America's future the lesson was clear in America your worth isn't determined by where your grandparents came from it's determined by what you're willing to do for the country you call home and sometimes it takes an immigrant son to remind the rest of us what that really means.

how to make spaghetti

今天这期《家庭主厨日》，我要教大家自制意大利麺酱。这个配方经过多年验证，是我们全家百吃不厌的经典款。我通常都会一次性做双份，把一半冷冻起来，这样忙碌不想下厨的夜晚就能随时取用。今天我们会用到三种番茄加工品：碎番茄、番茄酱和番茄膏。这些食材能呈现最新鲜的番茄风味，因为它们都是在采摘后立即加工封存的。如果想用新鲜番茄，我另有视频教程，但务必确保番茄足够新鲜，最好是自家种植或农贸市场采购的。 现在移步灶台开始制作。取4-6夸脱容量的锅，中高火加热2大勺橄榄油，预热一分钟后加入切碎的白洋葱或黄洋葱。煸炒约5分钟至洋葱变软呈半透明状。我这里演示的是基础款意面酱，因为我家常搭配肉丸食用，所以不额外添加绞牛肉。但如果你想加绞牛肉，此刻就该和洋葱一起入锅彻底炒熟，然后沥掉多余油脂。 接下来加入5瓣蒜末，煸炒60-90秒激发蒜香，然后倒入半杯鸡高汤（也可以用白/红葡萄酒替代）。加入28-30盎司碎番茄、15盎司纯番茄酱（即番茄原浆），以及6盎司罐装番茄膏。分享个小技巧：开罐时两端都切开，就能用另一端的盖子轻松推出膏体。 撒入1大勺糖中和番茄酸度（若不用糖，可用等量极细胡萝卜末替代）。再加入1大勺干牛至、1/2小勺盐、1/4小勺黑胡椒，最后可选加入1大勺茴香籽——这种自带八角风味的香料常用于香肠制作，能为酱料增添肉香而不必真加肉。最后拌入1/2杯新鲜罗勒（或2大勺干罗勒），以及1/4杯新鲜欧芹碎（或1大勺干欧芹）。 将所有材料搅拌均匀后转小火慢炖。建议至少炖煮30分钟，有时间的话可延长至2-4小时（长时间炖煮需加盖防水分蒸发）。若不想守候在灶台旁，也可转入慢炖锅，让你能安心处理其他事务，晚餐时分就能直接享用。 酱料炖好后，可选择保留颗粒口感，或用搅拌机打成顺滑质地。这个配方也适合装罐保存（需按比例添加柠檬汁/柠檬酸），但最简便的方法是冷冻储存——装入密封保鲜袋平铺冷冻即可。 完整食谱已附在视频简介区。记得订阅点赞，并浏览我的其他视频，获取数百道在家就能轻松复刻的餐厅级食谱。我们下期见！ Today, on this Day at Home Chef, I'm showing you how to make homemade spaghetti sauce. This one is a tried and true family favorite that I've been making for years. In fact, usually I make a double batch just so I can freeze half for those busy nights when I don't feel like cooking. We're going to be using three different preserved tomato products today, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. These will give you the best, most fresh tomato flavor because they were preserved immediately after picking. If you want to use whole tomatoes, I have a separate video for that. You'll just want to make sure that they're fresh, like from your own garden or from a farmer's market. Next, let's head on over to the stove and get started. Get 2 tablespoons of olive oil heating in a four to six quart. That over medium high heat gives out a minute to heat up and then add in one white or yellow diced onion. We're going to saute this for about 5 minutes until the onions start to get soft and translucent. Now I'm demonstrating just the plain spaghetti sauce because my family likes to eat spaghetti and meatballs so I don't need to. Had any ground beef to this? However, if you wanted to use ground beef, you'd add it in with your onions and cook it thoroughly and then drain off the excess grease. Next, I'm going to add in five cloves of minced garlic. Let the garlic toast for about 60 to 90 seconds to really bring out the best garlic flavor, and then we'll pour it. In half a cup of chicken broth, or you can use white or red wine. Add in 28 to 30 ounces of crushed tomato, 15 ounces of tomato sauce which is just pureed tomatoes, and a six ounce can of tomato paste. And if you cut open both sides, an easy trick is that you can then use the other light. To push it right through makes it come out so much easier. Then we'll sprinkle in a tablespoon of sugar, which will help to counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Or if you don't want to use sugar, you can use the same amount one tablespoon of really finely minced carrot. Next you'll need one tablespoon of dried oregano, half a teaspoon. Of salt 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper and then this last one is optional but I also like to add in one tablespoon of fennel seeds. Fennel has this wonderful anise flavor. They use it in sausages and so this adds a real meaty flavor to the sauce without actually using meat then we'll add in half a cup of fresh basil, or you can use about 2 tablespoons of dried basil on the very last ingredient, 1/4 cup of freshly chopped parsley or one tablespoon of dried parsley. Then we just stir this all together and bring it to a simmer. Flavor is going to develop as this sauce simmers. I recommend letting it simmer over a low heat for at least 30 minutes. Or if you've got the time, this can go for up to two to four hours with long simmering times you want to add a lid on to prevent evaporation. If you don't want to babysit it on the stove top, you can also transfer it all into a slow cooker and let it simmer throughout the day while you're busy doing other things and running errands, and then it will be ready for dinner once your sauce. Is done simmering. You can either serve it up as is all chunky, or use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend until smooth. You can use this recipe for canning. You'll need to add the appropriate ratio of lemon juice or citric acid, or the easiest way to store it is to freeze it. I just put it into a plastic resealable. Freezer bag and then lay it flat to freeze. Thanks for watching. You can find the full written recipe in the video description.

Why people are not happy? Says by Charlie Munger

Last year when we talked. Earlier you mentioned that. Donald Trump exhibited a form of sickness, I think is how you characterize it. I think it came you were characterizing. His personality and his behavior. It's been another year since he's been in office and I wonder how you would assess him. Well, because I consider it counterproductive to hate as much as both parties now hate. And I have disciplined myself and I know. I regard all politicians. Higher than I used to. I did that as a matter of self preservation. The other thing I did to make me feel better about the current scene is I reread the decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and it goes on for a great many hundreds of pages. And that made me feel a lot better about the current political scene. We're way ahead of the. Comments at the end. That's a pretty low bar. Well, I didn't. It's very helpful. I suggest you try it. You will feel better about the present world if you look at that one. And you said you elevated politicians. Yeah. Make yourself feel better. Explain. It's counterproductive. I hate so much. All of us on both sides are getting to hate so much too much. And I've decided I'm gonna back off from that. How do we resolve it? We don't have to resolve it. They all pass. Remember the old saying, this too will pass. They all go away. I have a different rule about politicians. They are never so bad you don't live to want them back. There will come a time when those people who hate Trump will wish that he were back. I don't think I'll live to see it, but I confidently predict that will happen. That's interesting. Well, if you look at the whole scan of human history and the people who led it. There are a lot of bad leaders. 去年我们交谈时，你曾提到唐纳德·特朗普表现出某种病态——我记得你是这样描述的。当时你是在剖析他的个性和行为。如今他又执政了一年，我想知道你现在如何评价他？ When we talked last year, you mentioned that Donald Trump was showing some kind of pathology — I remember you describing it that way. At that time, you were dissecting his personality and behavior. Now that he's been in power for another year, I wonder what you think of him now? 因为我认为，像如今两党这样深陷仇恨对谁都没有好处。我一直在约束自己，也开始以比过去更高的标准看待所有政客——这其实是一种自我保护。 Because I don't think it's good for anyone to be so deeply hated by the two parties as they are today. I've been restraining myself and I've started to look at all politicians to a higher standard than I used to – it's actually a form of self-preservation. 另一个让我对现状感觉好些的方法是重读《罗马帝国衰亡史》。这部巨著长达数百页，读完后我对当前政治局势反而释怀了许多。我们至少比书末描述的境况强得多……虽然这个标准确实够低的。（笑）不过这个方法很管用，建议你也试试——读完你会对现实世界感觉好受些。 Another way to feel better about the current situation is to reread History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. This magnum opus is hundreds of pages long, and after reading it, I was relieved by the current political situation. We are at least much better than the situation described at the end of the book...... Although this standard is indeed low enough. But it works, so I recommend you try it – you'll feel better about the real world after reading it. （采访者：你说你提高了对政客的评价？） (Interviewer: You said you raised your rating of politicians?) ） 是的，这样自己心里舒服些。解释起来就是：无休止的仇恨毫无意义。现在我们两派人都陷入过度的仇恨，我决定跳出这个怪圈。 Yes, it's more comfortable for you. The explanation is this: endless hatred is meaningless. Now that both of us are in an excessive hatred, I decided to jump out of this cycle. （采访者：那问题怎么解决呢？） (Interviewer: So how do you solve the problem?) ） 根本不需要解决。一切都会过去，老话说得好"这也终将消逝"。所有政客最终都会退出舞台。我有个观察政客的法则：再糟糕的政客，总有一天你会怀念他。现在那些憎恨特朗普的人，未来某个时刻反而会盼望他回来。我可能活不到那天，但我确信这一幕终将发生。 There is no need to solve it at all. Everything will pass, and as the old saying goes, "this too will pass away". All politicians will eventually retire from the stage. I have a rule for observing politicians: no matter how bad a politician is, one day you will miss him. Those who hate Trump now will be hoping for his return at some point in the future. I may not live to that day, but I'm sure it will happen. 这其实很有趣。纵观人类历史长河中的领导者，糟糕的统治者从来都不少见。 It's actually quite interesting. Throughout human history, bad rulers have never been uncommon. Why people are not happy? Says by Charlie Munger When things were way tougher. And that has a very simple explanation. The world is not driven by greed, driven by envy. And so the fact that everybody's five times better off than they used to be, they take it for granted. All they think about is somebody else has having more now. And it's not fair that he should have it and they don't. That's the reason that God came down and told Moses that you couldn't envy your neighbor's wife or even his donkey. I mean, even the old Jews were having trouble with envy. And so it's built into the nature of things that a lot of people are very unhappy and feel very abused after everything's approved by about 600% because there's still somebody else who has more. You know, we have whole networks now that they want to pour gasoline on the flames of envy. People are less happy about the state of affairs than they were when things were way tougher. 即便在昔日更为艰难的日子里，他们曾感到幸福。这背后其实有个非常简单的解释：世界并非由贪婪驱动，而是由嫉妒驱使。尽管如今每个人的生活都比过去优渥五倍，人们却将此视为理所当然。他们满脑子想的都是别人现在拥有更多，并认为"凭什么他可以得到而我不行"——这不公平。这正是上帝降临人间告诫摩西"不可贪恋邻人之妻，甚至他的驴"的原因。你看，连古犹太人都曾为嫉妒所困。 这种不满根植于人性之中：当生活水平已提升约600%后，仍有许多人感到极度不快乐，甚至觉得自己备受亏待——只因总有人拥有得更多。如今更有一整个网络媒体生态在往嫉妒的火焰上浇汽油。相比过去物质匮乏的岁月，人们对现状的幸福感反而更低了。 Warren Buffer says: Warren Buffer says: Someone tweeted don't take vacations, what's the point? If you're not enjoying your work, you're in the wrong job. It sounded real, like something you might say, but it was something that Donald Trump tweeted. Oh. Well anyway, I don't know what he feels is in the wrong job now for something else. They're absolutely if I should that student last week, 160 of them from Harvard and South Dakota State. I just tell them try to find your passion and you know, I mean may not find it the first time, but you know, don't sleepwalk through life. Find something that you really enjoy doing if you can do it and not you know, not everybody's lucky enough to be able to find that, but it's. Thought to be your goal, but to make $10 a week more doing something that you don't feel good about compared to something you feel good about, make a change. Warren Buffet says: Now, Donald Trump has been in a lot of businesses. He's had a lot of bankruptcies, but usually that's just involved borrowing money from the American public. But in 1995, to my knowledge, it's the only time Donald Trump went to the American people. And he said, join me, you know, I'm a winner and join me and invest in my company, Trump Hotels and Casino Resorts. It's the only time he asked the public United. But now you got a chance to join the great man. And this investment that was in 1995 they listed on the New York Stock Exchange. And Mr. Trump very modestly made the ticker symbol DJT. Guess what that's for? So he named the company after himself, and he gets the ticker symbol after himself. The next 10 years, the company loses money every year. Every single year. The he takes out $44 million in compensation. During that. The if you in 1995 when he offered this company if a monkey had thrown a dart. At the stock page, the monthly on average would have made 150%. But the people that believed in him, that listened to his siren song, came away losing well over $0.90 on the dollar. They got back less than a dime. 有人发推特说"别休假了，有什么意义？如果你不喜欢自己的工作，那就是入错行了"。这话听起来很真实，像是你会说的那种话，但其实是唐纳德·特朗普发的推文。（观众笑声）哦，好吧。反正我不知道他现在觉得什么算是"入错行"——可能是指其他事情吧。上周我刚对160名来自哈佛和南达科他州立大学的学生说过：要寻找自己的激情所在。我的意思是，可能第一次尝试找不到，但绝不能浑浑噩噩过一生。尽可能找到你真正热爱的事业——虽然并非人人都足够幸运能找到——但这应该成为你的目标。与其为了每周多赚10美元做违心的工作，不如选择让你感到快乐的事业。 沃伦·巴菲特继续道： 要知道，唐纳德·特朗普涉足过很多行业，也经历过多次破产，但通常只是涉及向公众借钱。但据我所知，1995年是他唯一一次直接向美国民众募资。当时他说"跟我投资吧，我是赢家"，邀请大众投资他的"特朗普酒店赌场度假村"公司——这是他唯一一次公开募集资金。（观众笑声）当年这家公司在纽约证券交易所上市时，特朗普先生"谦虚地"选择了DJT作为股票代码。知道代表什么吗？（观众笑声）他用自己名字命名公司，连股票代码也要用自己名字缩写。结果随后十年间，这家公司年年亏损，每年如此。而他却从中获取了4400万美元薪酬。1995年他推出这个项目时，如果让一只猴子对着股票版掷飞镖随机选股，（观众笑声）平均收益都能达到150%。但那些相信他、听信他蛊惑言辞的投资者，每投资1美元就亏损超过90美分——收回的还不到10美分。

What is RSV?

1. 什么是RSV？ 1. What is RSV? 呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）是一种高度传染性的病毒，主要感染呼吸道。虽然多数人症状轻微（如流鼻涕、咳嗽、发烧），但对以下高风险人群可能导致严重并发症（如细支气管炎或肺炎）： Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious virus that primarily infects the respiratory tract. Although most people have mild symptoms (e.g., runny nose, cough, fever), serious complications (e.g., bronchiolitis or pneumonia) can occur in people who are at high risk: 6个月以下婴儿（尤其是早产儿或有慢性疾病的婴儿）； Infants under 6 months of age (especially premature babies or those with chronic medical conditions); 60岁以上老年人（尤其患有心肺疾病或免疫力低下者）； Elderly people over 60 years old (especially those with heart and lung diseases or weakened immunity); 全球范围内，RSV每年导致约10万名5岁以下儿童死亡，其中多数发生在低收入国家。 Worldwide 2. RSV免疫产品的类型 2. Types of RSV immunization products 目前主要有两种预防策略： There are two main prevention strategies: A. 孕妇疫苗接种 A. Vaccination of pregnant women 目标人群：妊娠28~36周的孕妇，通过母体抗体保护婴儿； Target population: pregnant women at 28~36 weeks of gestation, protect their babies through maternal antibodies; 疫苗举例：辉瑞的Abrysvo®（RSVpreF）（2025年3月获WHO预认证）； Examples of vaccines: Pfizer's Abrysvo® (RSVpreF) (prequalified by the WHO in March 2025); 有效性：婴儿出生后6个月内因RSV住院的风险降低57%； Efficacy: 57% reduction in risk of hospitalization for RSV within 6 months of birth; 接种时间：RSV流行季前（如北半球为9月至次年1月）。 Timing of vaccination: pre-RSV season (e.g., September to January in the Northern Hemisphere). B. 婴儿单克隆抗体 B. Infant monoclonal antibodies 产品：尼塞韦单抗（Beyfortus®），单剂注射； Product: Nisevimab (Beyfortus®), single injection; 保护期：至少5个月，覆盖整个RSV流行季； Protection period: at least 5 months, covering the entire RSV season; 有效性：健康婴儿因RSV住院风险降低76.8%。 Efficacy: Healthy infants were 76.8% less likely to be hospitalized for RSV. C. 老年人疫苗 C. Vaccines for the elderly 可选疫苗： Vaccine Options: GSK的Arexvy®（RSVPreF3）（佐剂蛋白疫苗）； GSK's Arexvy® (RSVPreF3) (adjuvanted protein vaccine); 辉瑞的Abrysvo®（RSVpreF）； Pfizer's Abrysvo® (RSVpreF); Moderna的mRESVIA®（mRNA-1345）（mRNA疫苗）。 Moderna's mRESVIA® (mRNA-1345) (mRNA vaccine) 有效性：对严重下呼吸道疾病的保护率为67%~89%； Effectiveness: The protection rate against severe lower respiratory tract diseases is 67%~89%; 接种建议： Vaccination Recommendations: 75岁以上普遍接种； Universal vaccination for people over 75 years of age; 60~74岁高风险人群（如慢性心肺疾病患者）建议接种； It is recommended for high-risk groups aged 60~74 (such as patients with chronic cardiopulmonary diseases); 美国CDC近期建议50~59岁高风险成年人也可考虑接种。 The US CDC recently recommends that high-risk adults aged 50~59 can also consider vaccination. 3. 关键接种建议 3.

kundalinii

他是北半球达到Kuandalinii提升到,快要接近sahasrara cakra level的人, 其他人都在胡说八道，读他们的东西, 就知道他们在放屁， 说什么kuandalinii这个kuandalinii那个的，连他们自己都不知道在说些什么。除了印度人之外。他也是唯一能背诵Ananda Sutra的唯一。问过他们能否背诵？，回说可以，人能知道他们在说谎。 Ganesha is the only person in the Northern Hemisphere who has reached the level of Kundalini awakening close to the Sahasrara Chakra. Others are just talking nonsense. Reading their stuff, you can tell they are talking rubbish, saying this and that about Kundalini, without even knowing what they are talking about. Except for Indians. Ganesha is also the only one who can recite the Ananda Sutra. When asked if they can recite it, they say they can, but people can tell they are lying.

Mahabuni says 1

The West said. Well, we believe that in everything you do, you have to base it on evidence. You have to be reasonable and logical in whatever you do. And yet, despite all this, the fundamental maxims of Western civilization remain. The West is acting irrationally. The first example; We know that the world has changed because it's become a small interdependent world. And so as I to use a simple boat analogy, the 8 billion of us live in cabins on the same boat. So when one cabin catches COVID. All 193 cabins catch COVID. The most irrational thing you can do is when your boat is sinking. As a result of climate change, instead of trying to save the boat, you argue about whose cabin is more beautiful. But that's what the West is doing. For the United States to launch its true geopolitical contests against China. When the planet is in peril is hugely irresponsible and hugely irrational. And what's shocking? Is that the West has the leading universities, the leading think tanks, the leading media channels, and they don't point out that this is irrational behavior. The second example is that there, what's so obvious is that history has turned a fundamental corner this century. 100 years ago, 100,000 Englishmen could rule over 300 million Indian ancestors of mine. But European power has diminished. One statistic in the year 1980, the combined EU GDP was 10 times the size of China, 10 times. Now it's the same size as China. And by 2050, Europe will be half that of China. Now when you have this massive shifts of power happening, surely you should look for rational Ways and Means of adjusting. Is that happening? It's not, and the third sign of irrationality. The most important priority for any society anywhere in the world should be to improve the well-being of its own population. And yet, paradoxically, the United States, which is the most rational. Society on planet Earth at a time when the average standard of living of the bottom 50% of the American population has stagnated for three decades, and the priority should be to take care of the bottom 50%. Instead of focusing on people, the United States is Primacy is more important than people. Any country that chooses primacy over the well-being of its own people is making an irrational decision. And nobody. Questions for the past 45 years No major There's been no major war. This did not happen by accident. This happened as a result of decisions made by countries and leaders here who understood that the priority is to focus on economic development and not get engaged in wars, Western scholars who said at the end of the Cold War, Asia's future. Is Europe's pass So in the past Europe fought all the big wars. World War One, World War 2? Ohh, that's Asia's future. Paradoxically, the opposite has happened. The major wars have happened on the fringes of Europe and Northern Asia, and no European asked the most basic question. Why can't we Europeans not learn to be as peaceful investigations? That's what our friend grandma listen, yes, you know, keep saying and you know, he wrote a book called Destined for War in which he documents that throughout history the number one power never gives up its position or gracefully. American leader can be seen to be soft on China today. Traditionally, it's the educated establishment that should be more rational and calm, and the people at large may be subject to populist moods, but in the United States, paradoxically. And told that if you do the surveys of the population, the people don't share the same degree of anti China animus that you find in the establishment. But the establishment in Washington DC has locked itself into an anti China posture and today it's impossible. For any politician to say anything, just something rational on China. When you and I trade, you both of us benefit. That's why we trade. But the paradox is that even though trade right is a rational activity within two countries, anybody who supports trade. China is dead politically now, which is bizarre?
