Colonialism - now in Europe

Used in the history by European states in Africa, India etc., after the world war II adapted by the US Government (Trueman) and now since a couple of years in progress by China. Finally nothing new.
Since years I follow their route of investments, first in South America, then in Africa (where the belt goes from the east to the west coast) and lately in Europe where they started to make agreements in the not top travel destinations, then they bought stakes in 13 ports and some shipyards, tech industries, hotels etc.
In Greek they invested beside the ports in telecom and energy. In Spain the main focus was the tourism Hotel industry, which they dominate meanwhile. In Germany they are on patent and know-how capture "consuming" industries like Osram (light), Krauss-Maffei (plastic machinery), Wind MW (wind farm), EEW Energy (recycling), Ista (energy), Kuka (robots). rep10_2
These days I was again going through the well known book of the ancient Chinese military strategist 孙子 Sun Tzu (孙子兵法 | Art of War) with fun. Written nowadays it is used to determine leadership qualities, as well as, strategies in business. I like the smart way to conquer as I had to manage it years ago with "unfriendly take over" of some companies for investors.
We can see many parallels with 习近平 Xi Jinping's strategies. Disappointing is that the USA and the EU have a boring response like the Chu state what makes them obviously a loosing war monger. Its like playing Chess, Xiangqi or Go with a pigeon, which is softly quoted "Never play chess with a pigeon, as it just knocks all the pieces over".
For elderly traditionalists in the US Senate and the EU Parlament it is a diametral reengineered Marshall Plan (which US President Trueman designed against the influence of Communist parties in Europe) now set up by a communist enemy and unfortunately not a chance for teaming up or for competing.
So let's team up for new winds after years of US Colonial politic in Germany and Europe through the vicarious agents of the European Parliament and its Committees. [258]1912p

PR & Digital Mgmt
@norbertomoreau
…the run for 5G and AI became the run for world dominance. While China conquer the world or let's say at the very first beginning the tech world, western governments hinder and destroy their own tech economy instead of supporting them.
It was easier to switch from 3G -> 4G as the providers could set up the new tech on the old system. 5G requires new tech like Satellites. And China leads because they gave state support.

Sucuri Hacked Report as PDF
by @norbertomoreau
Targeting e-commerce websites with valuable customer data i.e. credit card and user information is the high interest of attackers. A total of 18,302 infected websites and a total 4,426,795 cleaned files are analyzed by the GoDaddy Security / Sucuri team in a recently report. You can download it
Quick summary: WordPress accounted for 90% of hacked websites, but not of running old versions as only 37% of infected sites were outdated. The old problem of Wordpress are the Plugins, what makes the role of third-party components more significant for this CMS.
Advise: search at Google for vulnerabilities of each plugin before installing, reduce amount of plugins and update Wordpress if all Plugins addressed compatibility with the latest WP version. [252]2497

Destinations
@norbertomoreau
La Cremà, Valencia: the Spaniards say goodbye to the Fallas (see history & videos in the last edition) and burn according to the tradition all the bad in an emotional act. A unique show that closes weeks full of emotion, activity and joy. But the city itself and the organizers suffer under the mass tourism. As a result a debate about a tourist tax like it is planned in Venice (Italy) started these days. (The ideas and results will be published in the next editions.)

The other European countries are Italy (second), Iceland (third), Switzerland (fifth), Sweden (sixth) and Norway (ninth). Japan (forth) was the healthiest Asian nation. (Authors Note:) True or not … the statistics are the result of lifestyle and food from a generation when living in Spain was different.
