^^^ yes, the pix is a fake.

^^^ conferences in general are nothing more than an all-expense paid vacation. Policies are usually negotiated long before the head of state meet.

I guess you won't mind if Russia and others arm the IRA, Scottish National Liberation Army (SNLA), Wales (Free Wales Army, Mudiad Amddiffyn Cymru, Meibion Glyndwr), Cornish National Liberation Army (CNLA), etc... Good god, Russia and friends would have a field day with arming these UK-based groups.

Don't forget Scotland. They also want out of the UK.

LOL You sure are one angry boy. I'm just glad that you're not in the corridors of power; it would be a disaster. Anything can happen in an armed conflict. So, it's plausible that ROC forces might win a battle or two. I'm guessing that you expect a swift one hour war. The goal is to win...

Well then, I guess you wouldn't have a problem if certain Western leaders get 'put down like rabid dogs'. One man's butcher is another man's hero. Absolutely jack all.

Sometimes the suspension of talks can be useful in negotiations. I wouldn't spend too much time thinking about it.

The topic is about China and Taiwan. Yes I understand the 'law of the jungle' concept. As I stated earlier, if the DPP admin conspire to actively threaten China's sovereignty then by all means do what's necessary including a Scorched Earth policy. If all they do is flap their jaw with...

The question is why does China want to walk into the American trap? If there are any lessons to learn from Iraq and Afghanistan, there's a fine line in destroying your opponent's military and maintaining control of what was taken with minimal cost. It would be better for both China and Taiwan...

There's a misconception regarding the American two-tier healthcare system. Although the wealthy can afford the very best, the public do have access to such services. One for sure, it's much better than places like Somalia.

Don't know enough about the tech used but some interesting info here.

It's likely used for emergency evac of remaining American citizens.

The best way for Chinese reunification is wage an economic and PR war and wait patiently. The goal is to make China a better place to live instead of Taiwan for young people (not the raisins) and you'll start to see them leaving the island for the mainland for a better future. An attack on...

Whether this is true or not, claims are useless without military might.

I believe those opinions are of one (or a few) low level bureaucrats. In the end, this is just politics.

As far as I know, no censorship, just cellphone vendors such as RIM agreeing to aid in any police investigation.

Cameron only contemplated on shutting down the internet. I wasn't aware of the San Fran shutdown of their cell towers.

Diplomacy first before pulling the trigger.

Interesting about the financial funding of monasteries. For some reason, it reminds me of the North American Natives (i.e. First Nations).

Does Forbes usually go on a China-bashing spree? I don't follow Forbes that closely so I don't know of their political slant (if there is one). This article does address the 'doom & gloom' folks warning of China's impending real estate implosion so I wouldn't consider this a feel-good article...
