Axis of Evil 邪惡軸心國 U.S. President George W. Bush and originally referred to Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. It was used in Bush's State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, less than 5 months after the 9/11 attacks, and often repeated throughout his presidency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20 years later, the ‘Axis of Evil’ is bigger, bolder — and more evil that includes China, Russia, Iran and North Korea as the primary belligerents. China has by far the largest army in the world, 2 million personnel, roughly 50% more than the U.S. China also has the largest navy in the world, 777 vessels (as of 2020). Russia has 603 and the USA 490. The largest navy doesn’t mean the most powerful. The World Population Review points out that the U.S. Department of Defense counts the relevant vessels differently and claims China has 355 ships and the United States 293. But the United States still has more high-value ships, such as aircraft carriers, than China. Even so, one wonders why China needs the largest army and navy in the world if its intentions are peaceful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All above mentioned "Axis of Evil" countries possess Nuclear bombs. Those countries leaders are dictator 獨裁者. Honesty is the best policy. |

All these 4 countries of "Axis of Evil" are militaristic 軍國主義者的. Their dictator leaders put most of their money into military, but their people are in poverty 貧窮. The basic concept of "Democracy" vs. "Communist" are completely opposite. When will see "peace on Earth"? Honesty is the best policy.

A new U.S. congressional select committee on competition with China held its first hearing with a focus on human rights on Feb 28, 2023 amid tense bilateral ties weeks after a suspected spy balloon flying over North America was shot down. It is obvious that there are two absolutely opposite groups of "Friends", "Foes", but no "Frenemies 亦敵亦友的關係" Friends (Allies) are: The USA, Canada, European Union (EU), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 北大西洋公約組織), Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan ...... Foes (Enemies) are: China, Russia, Belorussian 白俄羅斯, Iran, and North Korea. Choose your side, friends, or enemies, but no frenemies. Honesty is the best policy.

5 permanent members with veto power: China. France. Russian Federation. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. United States of America. Two countries (China and Russia) in Axis of Evil, not only in UN but also have veto rights. But Taiwan can't in UN. This is not fair!!! I protest. Taiwan provides the best semiconductor (chips) in the world that benefits the whole world, but can't be in UN. This is absurd. Honesty is the best policy.

Today's breaking news: US President Joe Biden made a surprise trip to Kyiv on February 20, 2023, ahead of the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. President Joe Biden slipped into Kyiv on Monday (Presidents' Day) for the first time since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine almost a year ago, demonstrating in dramatic personal fashion his commitment to the country and its struggle as the war enters an uncertain new phase. The highly secretive visit – which took place as air raid sirens could be heard ringing out around Kyiv while Biden walked alongside President Volodymyr Zelensky around the gold-domed St. Michael’s Cathedral – comes at a critical moment in the 12-month conflict, with Russia preparing for an expected spring offensive and Ukraine hoping to soon retake territory. Biden announced a half-billion dollars in new assistance, saying the package would include more military equipment, such as artillery ammunition, more javelins and Howitzers. And he said new sanctions would be imposed on Moscow later this week. “One year later, Kyiv stands. And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands,” Biden said. Honesty is the best policy.

Russia has invaded Ukraine since Feb 24, 2022. It has been almost near one year anniversary. What do you think this war will end? Putin invited Xi to Russia to meet in person. Will Xi go visit Putin in Russia? Does Putin know that Russia's economy in dangerous and his military is retreating? However, Belorussian's 白俄羅斯 president supports Putin and sent his soldiers to support Russia. Does Xi know that China's economy is at the edge of cliff? Honesty is the best policy.

China saber-ratting 武力恫嚇 Taiwan using military aircraft to circle Taiwan daily. One day even sent 71 military aircraft that 34 of them crossed the central line of Taiwan strait. Honesty is the best policy.
