ScotsAlan Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I saw this sticker in a car window recently. I did not actually check to see what brand of car it was. But I do remember it was a big SUV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAlan Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 America has told its airlines to comply with Chinese requirements. Go for it China. Put the yanks in their place. As a Chinese tax payer.... I am right behind China on this :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotsAlan Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 History is repeating itself here... http://m.huffpost.com/uk/entry/4375885?david-cameron Last time they flooded the place with opium. But it does seem a bit strange that Cameron visits at the same time as Biden. But to be honest. From following the Chinese press for a few years.... I reckon its actually Cameron they don't like. The Chinese love Boris. They just don't like Cameron. I suspect this goes back to school days. There was a few Chinese students about when Cameron was running riot in the Burlington club. China does not like Cameron. In my humble opinion. But what would I know :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth Seeker Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Is the USA preparing for a default on their bonds? China won't be too happy about that, perhaps the threat of war is being pushed for this reason. "The right to a preemptive nuclear strike against China is now part of US law - thanks to the National Defense Authorization Act. The Pentagon's also ordered a thorough review of when, and how, America could strike at the network of tunnels believed to hold Beijing's atomic arsenals."

Chinahand Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 China's repression has increased significantly recently and should be a major cause of concern. Gao Zhisheng is a lawyer who has had the courage to represent defendents viewed as anathema by the Communist regime - believers in Falun Gong, Home Church Christians, workers protesting about exploitation. For his troubles he was disbarred and then detained and tortured - rather than quietly accepting all this he loudly resigned his Communist Party membership and published an account of his torture. As a result in February 2009, he disappeared - the assumption was that he'd been taken into secret police custody and had been imprisioned without trial or due process. Then a few weeks ago rumours started that he'd been killed. His brother was told that his brother had gone "missing" in September last year. This whispering campaign has now taken another twist. At a press conference a spokesman for the Chinese Government cryptically said that Gao Zhisheng is "where he should be". But when the transcript of the press conference was released the censors had removed all mention of this and Gao Zhisheng. It is a grave injustice that people should be able to just disappear in today's China. It seems the Chinese government is admitting it knows what has happenned in this case, but is then censoring its own pronouncements about it. Whether he is alive or dead for the authorities to withhold whatever information it has on him is a grave injustice. Please think about signing the petition here, or writing to the Chinese Embassy expressing concern. It's really sad - basically Gao Zhisheng has been destroyed by his treatment by the Chinese Communist Party. A person who'd dedicated his life to helping those most despised by those controlling the Chinese state has been taken by that state and physically and psychological mistreated for years upon years until he broke. Such is how China treats those who defy it. Mr Gao - who was released from prison last week - was emotionless, "basically unintelligible" and had lost teeth through malnutrition ... He is alleged to have suffered physical and psychological abuse in jail. As well as losing many teeth, Mr Gao's daily ration of cabbage and a single slice of bread had caused him to lose 20 kg in weight. he had been confined to a cramped cell, with very little light, and had been largely deprived of human contact until his release. Freedom Now said Mr Gao's wife, Geng He, had spoken to her husband and was "completely devastated" by what the Chinese government had done to him. "The only thing I feared more than him being killed was his suffering relentless and horrific torture and being kept alive," she is quoted as saying.

Truth Seeker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The deployment of Navy Aegis destroyers in the Asian-Pacific region, with MD interceptors on-board, ostensibly to protect against North Korean missile launches, gives the US greater ability to launch preemptive first-strike attacks on China. The US now has 30 ground-based MD interceptors deployed in South Korea. Many peace activists there maintain that the ultimate target of these systems is not North Korea, but China and Russia.Europian_Missile_Defense.

pongo Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Seems kind of random, your link to the archived website of PNAC - a think tank which no longer exists. Original thinkers and hugely influential since the late 90s. Robert Kagan the co-founder is clearly a first class mind (he has served and advised both Republicans and Democrat administrations). Is married to Victoria Nuland (current US State Dept spoke) who previously served under Clinton and Bush. Dinner at their house must be like a brains trust - or an episode of QI.

Truth Seeker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 It might seem like a random link but if you consider the objectives of PNAC and compare what is happening today, it would seem nothing has changed. Even the Nobel Peace Prize winner Obama has ordered a Marines base in that well known troubled hot spot Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Most policy is surely a gradual evolution of technical thinking - is there is any reason to expect (or want) it to dramatically change from one administration to the next ? Many of the same people served under Clinton and then Bush. Some are still serving under Mr Obama. Isn't that what continuity is all about. Same in Britain really. Dramatic change would be a mess. No ? Maybe I am misunderstanding your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Seeker Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Barack Obama did make promises of hope and change in his 2008 presidential campaign, but I guess he's just another puppet.
