Building a More Perfect Union
Reflections on the Fourth of July By Fred Teng

Each Fourth of July, we celebrate the birth of a nation founded on liberty, opportunity, and the belief in a better future. But the promise of 1776 was never meant to be kept by one generation—or one group—alone. America is a constant work in progress, and each of us has a role in building “a more perfect Union.”

From the very beginning, immigrants have helped shape that journey—not just by seeking freedom, but by contributing to it. They’ve built railroads, fought in wars, launched businesses, and led in science, education, and public service. America is an immigrant nation, built on diversity, strengthened by inclusion, and enriched by new arrivals—not by deporting those who challenge political ideologies.

Our success should not stop at our borders. “America First” is not a sustainable or inclusive vision. A stronger America means working with the world, not turning away from it. We must lead with partnership, share opportunity, and help those in need.

Just as important, America must lead in peace—not war. If the United States can commit to forty years without entering wars, exporting conflict, or supplying arms, we will not only prevent suffering—we will secure our place as a truly great nation for generations to come.

On this Independence Day, let’s honor all those who move this country forward—and commit to an America that welcomes, leads, and builds peace at home and around the world.

Over 800 million Chinese moved from rural villages to modern cities over just three decades.

To provide for hundreds of millions of new homes–along with millions of new buildings for shopping centers and offices and schools and hospitals–China invented new ways to build.

Most of the skilled labor for the construction is performed on factory floors, instead of on the building sites. Supply chains are shortened, and demands on local logistics are reduced. Inspections are more easily done, and errors quickly identified and remedied.

The time and cost of construction in China are sharply lower, compared to builds elsewhere.

Chinese factories mass-produce small homes and apartment buildings for around $38-55 per square foot ($400 – $600 / square meter).

Builders using Chinese factory-built homes pull permits and pour foundations, take delivery by truck, and with experienced crew can have a home move-in ready in under 30 days, and an apartment building in under 60 days.

An important caveat to remember, when making inquires: complex roof designs are very difficult to model for extreme weather, and to quote in price.

US single sided tariffs is kidnapped & extortions. It is like kidnapping your daughters. To get your daughter back, pay 20% tariff on everything you produced in your store indefinitely. 美國單邊關稅是敲詐勒索. 這就像綁架你的女兒. 為了救回你的女兒, 你就得無限期地對你店裡生產的所有商品繳納20%的關稅.

CIA-founded Radio Free Asia shut down its Cantonese language operation yesterday. The move is a huge victory for real Asian journalism and a relief for speakers of the language in Hong Kong and Guangdong, apt to be confused by the group’s heavy outpouring of anti-China propaganda. 美國中情局創辦的自由亞洲電台昨日關閉了其粵語頻道。此舉對真正的亞洲新聞事業來說是一個巨大的勝利，也讓香港和廣東的粵語使用者鬆了一口氣，因為他們很容易被該電台鋪天蓋地的反華宣傳所迷惑.

RFA lost funding as part of the US Trump administration’s budget cuts for its parent group, the US Agency for Global Media.

RFA’s Cantonese unit translated anti-Chinese propaganda and generated its own pro-US material. It was a key player in the now-debunked “Uyghur genocide” hoax, and shared numerous false stories about Chinese technology, business and politics.

SET UP BY CIA
RFA was set up by the CIA in the 1950s as a propaganda group to destabilize China.

But the CIA was heavily criticized for its illegal “black ops” in the late 1970s. The US State Department set up the NED as an alternative “soft power” China-hostile organization in 1983, and relaunched RFA in 1994 with the same goal.

RFA has always been very successful at hiding its CIA origins—and even today, no mention of the link can be found in Wikipedia or in most media coverage of its present funding troubles.

LEAK SHOWS PAYMENTS
A leak in 2020 revealed that RFA had secretly pledged US$2 million for violent anti-China protesters in Hong Kong, in addition to heavy funding by the NED and other sources.

What RFA did in Hong Kong would be illegal if another nation did it in the US or UK.

Meanwhile, RFA’s website remains functional as an anti-China propaganda news unit, but the majority of staff have been sacked from head office, which was in Washington DC.

Trump Tax Bill if passed favor primarily rich, white, top 20% American at the expenses of the majority taxpayers 川普稅改法案如果通過，將主要惠及富人、白人、最富裕的 20% 美國人，而犧牲大多數納稅人的利益.

Wealthier taxpayers appear set to receive more benefits from this bill than poorer ones, according to the Budget Lab at Yale University. 耶魯大學預算實驗室稱，富裕納稅人似乎將從該法案中比貧窮納稅人獲得更多利益.

Taxpayers in the lowest-income quintile will see a 2.5% ⬇️ decrease in their incomes, largely due to the Snap and Medicaid cuts, while the highest earners will see their incomes grow by ⬆️ 2.4%, the Budget Lab estimated. The impact could change based on which amendments the Senate adopts. 預算實驗室估計，收入最低的五分之一納稅人的收入將減少 ⬇️ 2.5%，這主要是由於Snap和醫療補助的削減，而收入最高的五分之一納稅人的收入將增加 ⬆️ 2.4%。具體影響可能會根據參議院最終通過的修正案而有所不同.
