THE CHINESE NATIONAL ANTHEM. WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Imagine waking up one morning in the US and hearing on the news the government had just passed a law that made it illegal to “ridicule or insult” the National Anthem and the fine was up to 3 years in prison, or, “custodial term” as the Dragon calls it. Sounds crazy? Well, ask the people of Hong Kong. You remember Hong Kong, right? The Territory that was assimilated by the Dragon based upon an old treaty. A place the rest of the world as well as the people of Hong Kong were told, ‘don’t worry. You can still do your own thing, you just have the Dragon as your new upper level of government now’.  Don’t sing the song funny….Roseanne Barr better stay away. Don’t alter the lyrics or score to insult or poke fun at the Dragon’s Anthem.  Ah yes, to be a “Special Administrative Region” under the Dragon. Just look what the world has to look forward to. Get those 1st graders marching the right way, or off to “custodial” duty you go! I wonder how many years of “custodial” time Colin Kaepernick would be willing to endure, but then again, this is the US’s trading partner. This is the nation The Donald is creating a crisis with. Why, we all know that Trump hates the US economy, profit margins, people of color, kids and birds and the climate and everything else you can think of.  I bet he would love to have this Anthem Law in the US. That must be why he is standing in front of the Dragon and threatening to cripple the Dragon’s dream of global economic dominance, something I don’t think he can prevent. The West loves low cost toys and if a few people have to go to , “ Custodial Duty” then let’s all just close our eyes and keep thinking the Dragon is nothing more than another nation  the West must keep happy. Does all this really matter? Do the actions of one nation really deserve the attention of others? I guess it just depends on the nation and what they bring to the table. By they way, it was just over a month ago I mentioned the process of the Dragon, “reeducating” Muslims inside the Dragon’s domain. But does any of that matter? At what point do the actions of the Dragon reach a level the West must pay attention. Trip them up now, before it’s too late for the rest of the world. That seems to be the Trump plan, but then again, Trump hates everything that breathes and most likely tosses Illegal Immigrant kids down a secret well hole inside the White House.
Taiwan:
   What is the breaking point for people to stop siding with the Dragon and start understanding what Trump is trying to accomplish….well…maybe! Is that wakeup call Taiwan? On January 2nd 2019, the Dragon called for “reunification”. Some even believe the Hong Kong model is the right approach between China and Taiwan. Maybe, just don’t disrespect the Anthem though.
            Last week, the Dragon ordered Its military to prepare for “all-out war”. Ever taken a gander at what that means? Ever read the Chinese doctrine of, Unrestricted Warfare”? No? don’t worry, if you are under 50 years old, you will most likely live to see it firsthand. In the past few years, the Dragon’s approach to Taiwan has grown bolder by the day. Would the West fight a war with China over Taiwan? No treaty spells out such support. Can you imagine Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer even contemplating supporting Trump if such an event took place? What’s a few hundred thousand dead on the other side of the world if it means being able to blame Trump? Trust me, if the Dragon goes after Taiwan in the next sixteen months, it will be Trump’s fault and Chuck and Nancy will be in a foot race to see who gets to the podium first to say so.
            Taiwan. That country that sits in the Middle of the South China Sea. Taiwan. That country that shows the people of China an alternative. What happens if Taiwan doesn’t stand up for the Anthem? Would the people of the US simply shrugged their shoulders and say, “look what Trump did now”. Taiwan slides closer to the teeth of the Dragon by the day, but the Apple Phones keep flowing…so…… “its cool”….. nothings really going to happen.
The Philippines:
            Short story. Sounds like Mr. Duterte is not satisfied with just getting his Bell back. For some time now, many have been speculating the somewhat unstable, inject laughter here, Mr. Duterte is getting ready to make up his mind. Does he side with the Dragon or does he stick with the US? Giving the Bell back was a gesture. I’m not sure how that “gesture” stacks up against China’s economy, but the Philippines has to be a future meal on the Dragon’s mind and you have to wonder how Australia views that menu. Yes folks, the Dragon is moving. Methodically and with a great cover story called the “ Belt and Road Initiative”. Just how many countries will be sending people off to “Custodial Time” for disrespecting the “March of the Volunteers”?  
Colin. You are a young man. You believe you have the right to take a knee. If I were you. I would learn that new Anthem or…….. join the “resistance” …. Not the one against Trump, but the one Trump is trying to head.
