    Here are soome interesting comments on the article SunT Nov 10th 2011 17:02 GMT Deception has a central place in the Chinese way of looking at the world. It's deeply ingrained, institutionally and culturally. Expecting the Chinese to do what they promised to do when they joined the WTO (or...

    Chinese banks brimming with foreign exchange

    There indeed was a stipulation in the original Brettenwood Agreement that the US dollar had to be pegged to Gold. It is called the gold standard. US unilaterally broke the agreement in 1971 because it was printing more paper money than its gold reserve could cover. In essence US has, in Vladimir...

    China's Mars explorer launched

    Space launches are never 100 percent safe. There is always some risk. Every space faring nation has had its share of failures. Lets' not be overly critical. Russia's space program is still very solid, even though it may not what it was during the USSR days.

    China objects to Free Tibet campaign in Nepal

    The Times of India is not a credible source, particularly on matters relating to China and Pakistan. It was only a couple weeks ago that TOI made a big fuss about China's support for Pakistani membership in UNSC, which the Indian government supported as well. China backs Pak bid for...

    China deports 5,000 N.Korea refugees a year

    While it is not entirely baseless the story is full of half-truths and inaccuracies. The initial Chinese position was to let illegal North Korean immigrants quietly travel to South Korea through a third country. In an effort to score propaganda points against North Korea, South Korea decided...

    Bombing Reported in Tibet

    It is silly for us to discuss a "news" report attributed to Free Tibet which has a long history of fabricating news. Lately there has been a spate of stories of self-immolation originating from the "Tibetan government in exile" or "Free Tibet". It is a feeble and pathetic attempt by...

    India and UNSC permanent seat

    I don't think China takes offense at Indian attempts at becoming a permanent member of the UNSC. We merely follow the development with a fair amout of amusement. Take Japan for example. Bear in mind that Japan started its campaign about twenty years ago when it was already the second largest...
