One country where it really is “all about oil”
Iran, in the case of China…

If you dismantle China, you will save not only its own people but the ethnic minorities within, the North Koreans, the South Koreans, the Japanese, the Darfurians and the Iranians. Why a country with such appalling lack of respect for the human condition is allowed to sit permanently on the UN Security Council and sell slave labour goods to first world countries I’ll never know. It just shows how much no one could give a crap about other people.
If China has weapon of mass destruction, Nuc. plants and supplies arms to terrorists (prior AK 47 post), why has the USA an UN not invaded? Or are they just soooo special?
Question- your question is inane.
Because question, you generally don’t want to upset your landlord
Osumashi Kinyobe, thanks for proving once again that ignorance is bliss. Before your criticize a country like China that gives priority and offers special welfare and priority to ethnic minorities (my family members being some of them), you better take a good, hard look at your own country. Don’t think the world has forgotten the grave crimes that Japan committed during WWII or your treatment of the Ainu people and other ethnic minorities in your native country. There’s a saying: Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. You have no moral authority to preach.
ok there mr O.K., one word: Nanking.
despite the Beijing authorities keeping that episode collecting dist, the present capabilities of China ensure it wont be happening again in this century at least.
China is a special case, being the nation with the largest population and a history that pre-dates the pyramids.
The Chinese experience is a lesson in hope for the future vs. humahn nature.
Presently China is feeding its 1,100,000,000 without foreign aid, did a space walk after only 3 launches, hosted the olympics in grand style, executes high level officials for grievous corruption, and has not had widespread huge internal devastating conflict since 1949.
now if they can loosen up the lid on dissent a tad as confidence increases and do away with the organ donor racket that would be even better.
the hard reality is that sometimes democracy leads to chaos. when evaluating the Chinese experience you need a really long time line and one that includes the opium wars and colonization at that time.
Beijing is holding their cards close, but the smooth hand over of Hong Kong in 1998 shows they have learned from past mistakes. unlike a lot of regimes elsewhere. look at how long it took europe to get over all it’s infighting.
as far as the U.N. is concerned, I give China more right to its seat on the security council than, say, Fwance.
read some history and get back to us in 2 years.
J and Curious George, thank you for pointing out the inequalities and crimes against the Ainu and Nanking. However, my country- Canada- hasn’t been involved in that way, at least not that I’m aware of.
Thanks anyway.
We need to nuke China!
Before it’s too late!
I do love the county itself having traveled it extensively. The people are great, so long as they are not allowed to gang bang on Canadian streets. Otherwise they are almost like us with exception that their pets do not survive the winters (ask Warren Kinsella). The biggest problem I see with China is that we actually have no nukes to defend ourselves against it, and we don’t seem to have the inherent Chinese parrot ability to copy some from Russia or Iran.
Hopefully something can be resolved before they buy us up entirely, or we can actually develop some kind of weapons grade nuclear arsenal to be good neighbors like North Korea.
PS: Nanking was a tragedy.
