The communist People's Republic of China has shown its true colours when it pressured 16 countries not to attend the recent awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo, a human rights activist who is currently in jail in China.
It is also saddening to note that one of Southeast Asia's prominent democracy, the Philippines has also yielded to China's pressure. It is understood that the Philippines is in the process of acquiring arms and other military equipment from China. But the Philippines has denied that it is not attending the award ceremony because of China, but says that its envoy has another function in Denmark.
Western countries who have all this while opened up to China and invested in that country should think twice about their China ties. Today China has pressured several countries from attending the Nobel Peace Prize award, we do not know what will China pressure other countries to do in future. China is acting like a gangster who would not have anything that is not its way, and will use any pressure on others to toe its line.
The world must not forget the victims of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989 where thousands of unarmed Chinese people were mercilessly massacred by the communist regime. And also the world should not forget the plight of the Tibetans and Uighurs who continue to suffer under the communist regime of China.

M'sia is the follower of Kommunis Cina by heart, although it mouth keeps blasting against Chinese. Surely M'sia will follow what Cina done towards its minority Tibetian and Xinjian Kazakhstan.
The Pendatang of Sumantra's Parameswara descendents are the pemrompak of the Siam kingdom, now trying to eliminates the real natives like Orang Asli...
Just to share some story from an ancient China faith story on Peace (which may similar to bible's parable in MATTHEW 5:7-8)...
In Buddhist practice, a teacher will usually remind students to be careful of feelings and conceit. This is because, after practicing for a while, many people will start to believe they people of great virtue and become conceited. When they see other people making mistakes they can’t tolerate it. This also happens with martial artists when they start to criticize other people’s skills. What is true practice and cultivation? Not in meditation, not when you feel peace. It is in living present in every moment. I have to remind myself of this sometimes.

As set forth by His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyamtso, the four reliances are:
1. "Do not rely on the person but on the doctrine.
2. Then, with respect to the doctrine, rely not on the word [or words] but on the meaning.
3. Then, with respect to the meaning, rely not on the interpretable meaning but on the definitive meaning.
4. And with respect to the definitive meaning, rely not on ordinary consciousness but on an exalted wisdom consciousness." If one understands consciousness always to be dualistic and awareness to be non-dualistic, then this last reliance should read "exalted wisdom awareness."
