This whole “Saga” involving Justin Brownlee smells to me like just another Propaganda Operation by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to me. For those of you who are not familiar with Brownlee, he is an IMPORT (“Naturalized” Player) that played for the Philippine Men’s National Basketball Team (also called “Gilas Pilpinas”) recently. 

He helped the Philippines win the Gold Medal in the 19th Asian Games that was just held in China thanks to him hitting a number of crucial three-point shots in the Final Game against the Chinese National Team.

China now has 4 successful Railway Projects in 4 different Countries

China-assisted Railway Projects around the World

Just a great, Must-Read Article of how CHINA is truly helping the World with its Train Systems. So far, China now has FOUR SUCCESSFUL Train Projects all over the World, and these are: 

- The 142 km long Jakarta-Bandung High Speed Railway (HSR) in Indonesia named WHOOSH, the very first Bullet Train System in South East Asia (SEA)

- The 422 km Boten-Vientianne Railway in Laos

- The 759 km Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway in Ethiopia

-  The 578 km Mombasa-Nairobi Railway in Kenya

And to think that China does not have as close or as long a Relationship with some of these Countries and they have already done these for them. Meanwhile, the Relationship of SUBSERVIENCE of the Philippines to the United States (US) has been much longer and closer than China and Indonesia/Laos/Ethiopia/Kenya, and yet the US has NOT done anything near the same for the Philippines.
