Xi Jinping faces a calamity at 73! The U.S. Senate unanimously approves his nomination

—A major calamity at age 73! The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution characterizing Xi Jinping as a brutal dictator.

Reporter : Wang He /  https://www.aboluowang.com/2026/0618/2397381.html

On 16 June 2026, the U.S. Senate swiftly passed Resolution S.Res. 444 unanimously (Voice Vote, no objections).

This date, the day after Xi Jinping's 73rd birthday, is highly dramatic.

The resolution, spearheaded by Florida Republican Senator Rick Scott, directly names Xi Jinping as the "dictator of the People’s Republic of China," accusing him of orchestrating crimes against humanity, leading criminal organizations, and posing a serious threat to U.S. and global security.

This rare move instantly went viral globally, seen as the U.S. Senate's most direct and severe symbolic blow against the top leader of the Chinese Communist Party.

Key Points of the Resolution: A Comprehensive and Powerful Blow

According to the US Congressional website, S.Res. 444 lists several major accusations:

Deception and Global Threats

The origins of the COVID-19 virus were misled, leading to the deaths of over 1 million Americans;

The fentanyl crisis violated commitments, causing numerous American deaths;

Long-term dishonesty in trade, WTO, and product safety.

Human Rights and Crimes Against Humanity

Persecution of groups such as Falun Gong, including allegations of forced organ harvesting;

"Modern genocide" in Xinjiang: mass detention camps, forced labor, and forced assimilation;

Cultural genocide and forced labor in Tibet;

Suppression of freedoms in Hong Kong by the National Security Law.

National Security Threats

Espionage (such as the Equifax data breach), secret police stations;

Military threats against Taiwan, provocations against the Philippines in the South China Sea;

Alliance with Russia, Iran, North Korea, and other countries, threatening global stability.

Characterizing the CCP

The resolution explicitly describes the CCP as a "criminal organization," with Xi Jinping as its leader. The resolution urges sanctions against relevant CCP officials and expresses support for the persecuted Chinese people and victims worldwide. Senator Rick Scott stated firmly that day:

“The CCP, especially under Xi Jinping’s tyranny, possesses a peculiar evil. They want to control the world, and they will destroy anyone who stands in their way. We cannot be afraid to confront our enemy; we must stand up for the next generation of Americans.”

Background and Significance

The resolution was introduced on October 9, 2025, and passed unanimously the day after Xi Jinping’s birthday, several months later. This resolution represents the official position of the US Senate. The choice of this timing is widely interpreted as a strong signal of humiliation and warning.

It highlights the deep dissatisfaction of both parties in the U.S. with the CCP in multiple areas, including human rights, trade, and security, paving the way for a tougher policy in the future. Compared to previous resolutions by Japan and the EU, this U.S. resolution directly names “dictators” and “criminal organizations,” demonstrating unprecedented force.

Conclusion

A major calamity at 73!

On 16 June 2026, the US Senate, with a unified voice, declared to the world its clear opposition to brutal dictatorial rule. This historic moment will become an indelible footnote in the history of Sino-U.S. relations.

People in China are becoming less valuable

Things in China are getting cheaper but people are becoming less valuable

Some people are complacent, boasting that our express delivery and food delivery are cheap, and that we practically give away small industrial goods for free, completely outperforming Western countries. They conclude that China is highly efficient, provides excellent service, and has an advanced system. In their eyes, delivery drivers, couriers, and assembly line workers are not even human.

There is a saying in economics: "There is no free lunch."

Anything cheap simply shifts costs elsewhere. A production-driven society has no future.

A production-driven society and a consumer-driven society are not necessarily opposed.

The real question is: Does a society treat production as a means to improve people's living standards, or as the ultimate goal?

If production becomes increasingly powerful, but ordinary people's income, welfare, and purchasing power do not improve in tandem, then production capacity will ultimately be constrained by insufficient demand.

Currently, too many people in China have lost their capacity for empathy; the divisions between groups are severe.

Paying a few dollars to have a recent college graduate deliver your food several kilometers is inhumane; in fact, this business model from beginning to end is extremely unethical and should never exist. Consumer welfare and worker welfare are often not the same concept. A mature society evaluates a service not only by what consumers receive, but also by what the service provider receives.

Which is more dignified, and which has a brighter future: a prosperity where goods are cheap or a prosperity where labor is highly valued?

Why is labour so cheap?

Airport Hotel Review : D'prima Wellness Center, Cengkareng

 Review and photo copyright by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

This airport hotel is actually named D'prima Wellness Center. It sells sportswear for golf and provides room and accommodation for tourists and passengers on transit. It is located next to Pelita Air check-in counters at Cengkareng Terminal 3. 

To reach D'prima Wellness Center, enter Gate 4 to the Departure Hall after exiting the Arrival Hall, going up the external escalator and walking for less than a minute. Look for Yoshinoya Restaurant which is on the right of D'prima Wellness Center before arriving at the double-level airport hotel.

Toiletries are limited to toothpaste, toothbrush, towel, body wash and shampoo.

Breakfast starts at 6 am. Before that, breakfast packs are being prepared near the reception for guests who have paid for room packages with free breakfast. So, I eat breakfast at Bangi Cafe on the left of the hotel before I check-in for my Pelita Air flight back to Singapore by 5.20 am local time.

StayGate Review : How to enter Indonesia as a visa-exempt tourist

 Review, photo copyright by : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

After filling up the Indonesia e-Arrival card at the All Indonesia portal (web-site) within three days before arrival, print and/or screenshot the bar code. After that, generate the evisa that states visa-exempt national is exempted from showing the evisa. Print the evisa. Bring the e-Arrival card with QR code and evisa to the Immigration at Indonesia port of entry.

Images below: If tourists arrived at the Indonesia port of entry without the e-Arrival card, use All Indonesia app to fill up and screenshot the e-Arrival card with QR code for immigration autogate clearance.

Tourists with the e-Arrival card hardcopy and visa-exempt evisa can skip the All Indonesia app and proceed to the Customs after immigration autogate clearance with the passport. Look for the sign at the Customs to show the e-Arrival card QR code to complete final clearance as below. 

Welcome to Indonesia!

There is no label sticker or stamp on the tourist's passport. Keep the e-Arrival card with QR code throughout the journey as proof of entry. Keep it in file as a matter of personal record. 

Before leaving Indonesia, there is no need to show the e-Arrival card during check-in, security and Immigration clearance. Scan the passport at an autogate and leave for the boarding gate.
