they killed him didnt they
Sounds to me like the Chinese government needs a distraction from their growing internal problems.
Well.........
At a time when China is talking about ‘needing’ to go to war, it’s a little difficult to say otherwise.
Not a good thing I bet. Those two countries don’t exactly have a modern history of love and affection.
One of the more misleading headlines I’ve seen.
He is said to have died from an “unspecified illness.” Oriental-speak for he was murdered.
It’s Japan’s fault.
There’s an obscure movie shown about some Chinese people suffering and being starved, worked as slaves and outright killed by the government so that Maurice Strong and Andy Stern can live in luxury in a compound in Beijing, next to Communist Party leaders.
As an American taxpayer, I gotta say this looks good for our investment in Buick. Unless the Japanese blow the crap out of the Buick factory in China.
Yes! Isn’t it?
It must have been the tear gas, but it was definitely a movie’s fault.
If zerohedge.com uses such disingenuous headlines, I won’t pay them any mind.
Tyler Durden is an a$$hat in my book....no better than MSM.
Sounds like the ambassador died in his own country. Not impossible for the Chinese to kill him but unlikely in my opinion.
Ping.
This should be your thread, AIT
China is communist and they don’t allow any demonstrations unless the Chinese government wants a demonstration. Obama is all screwed up in the Middle East.....and the Chinese government rolls out some protesters yammering about a war with Japan. Too much coincidence.
It’s imperative the Japanese filmmaker is found and held accountable for this crime!!!
Not a big fan of China today but not a lot of sympathy for Japan in this situation either. Their behavior in China during the late 30s thru WWII was criminal in a humanitarian regard. They never really atoned for it.
The ambassador died in Japan AS (i.e, simultaneously with the application of) tear gas was dispensed at riots in China. But, the headline can be read either way, and it’s very easy to interpret the link as causal rather than temporal.
Not a good week for ambassadors....
"What this country needs is a short, victorious war to stem the tide of revolution." - Vyacheslav von Plehve, the Russian Minister of the Interior shortly before the outbreak of hostilities with Japan in 1904.
