Sabotaging China's Belt & Road Initiative - President Trump Fires Off Letter to WHO - WHO Bribes Madagascar With $20 Million - Taiwan's Reelected President Tsai Ing-wen - Dead Chinese Ambassador To Israel - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo "Brushes Aside Regional Issues" - British Mucking Up American Politics

Ed.'s note: It is official now the US has started sabotaging China's Belt & Road Initiative starting with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's visit to Israel. Israel readers ask? During Pompeo's visit to the City of London's "forward fire base" in Israel, Pompeo discussed Chinese investments in Israel. This was followed up by President Trump signing a letter directed at WHO (World Health Organization) giving this criminal syndicate under mostly control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) thirty days to clean up its act. The Chinese reacted by "hitting back" at President Trump's letter to WHO. The corruption is so bad at WHO that now there is an allegation WHO attempted paying off the President of Madagascar a $20m bribe to poison a COVID-19 cure. This is going to force wonks in all these multi-million dollar think tanks in the US to have to go back and reevaluate their policies and studies related to China and Israel. This could be the beginnings of China giving up its Belt & Road Initiative which it has attempted before in history.

China hits back at Trump's WHO letter

Have a listen to this "reporter" with the suave British accent Americans like so much discussing President Trump's letter to WHO. What's likely going on here is the British are not too happy President Trump and his administration are taking on China and WHO and have these British intelligence assets acting as journalists inside American media networks mucking up President Trump's actions on China. The connection here is the House of Rothschild and the East India Trading Company (LLCs) connections and investments in China. We suggest the British stay in Britain (we prefer "England") and fix their own mess first and end their mucking around in America.

This also comes as China denounced the US's congratulating Taiwan's leader Tsai Ing-wen who was just re-elected for a second term as President of the Republic of China (Taiwan) with an increased share of the vote. With this re-election of Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen with the Trump administration in an intensifying trade war with China while simultaneously US Secretary of state inIsrael warning Israel over Chinese investments, Taiwan's TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) has halted China's Huawei orders as US tightens restrictions. It's likely the US is now exerting pressure on both Taiwan and Israel as pressure points against China. Taiwan and TSMC are going to be the "tool shed" for the coming "4th industrial revolution" and China covets Taiwan. Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen was educated in the US and is a strong ally so anticipate intense relations with China as this confrontation heats up.

The neat death of Chinese Ambassador to Israel

VOLTAIRE NETWORK | 18 MAY 2020

According to Israeli police, China's Ambassador to Israel Du Wei, 57, died alone in his sleep of a heart attack. His lifeless body was discovered at his residence in the city of Herzliya on 16 May 2020.

China has been ramping up its investments in Israel to transform the ports of Haifa and Ashdod into Silk Road terminals on the Mediterranean Sea.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had come to Israel on 13 May to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu and Benny Gantz before the formation of their government. To their surprise, Pompeo quickly brushed aside regional issues to focus exclusively on Chinese investments and to bash the Silk Road project.

Mossad director Yossi Cohen was present at the meeting.

Taiwan's leader Tsai calls for dialogue with China as 2nd term begins

TAIPEI (Kyodo) -- Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen called for dialogue with China but rejected unification with the mainland under Beijing's "one country, two systems" principle as she began her second and final term on Wednesday.

Tsai made the call for dialogue in her inauguration speech after taking the oath of office at her swearing-in ceremony at the presidential office in Taipei.

"Here, I want to reiterate the words -- peace, parity, democracy and dialogue. We will not accept the Beijing authorities' use of one country, two systems to downgrade Taiwan and undermine the cross-strait status quo. We stand fast by this principle," she said.

Tsai began her second term on a high note, having gained broad public support after successfully guiding the self-governed island in its response to the coronavirus pandemic.

But Taiwan under Tsai, leader of the independence-leaning Democratic Progressive Party, faces a China eager to undermine Taipei's quest for international recognition and finds itself entangled in an increasingly strained U.S.-China relationship.

Tsai comfortably won re-election in January after many voters embraced her staunch opposition to the unification model proposed by China, a stance she first made clear in January 2019.

The Tsai government, which was launched in May 2016, enjoys about a 70 percent support rate among the public for its handling of the virus outbreak on the island, opinion surveys show.
