The diplomatic community in South Asia is puzzled by a military co-operation agreement signed between the Taliban militia in Afghanistan and the People's Republic of China.
Diplomatic sources said the agreement was signed on December 10 and that the agreement was not signed between the two governments but between the Taliban military commanders and representatives of China's People's Liberation Army.

Director General Moore hails China breakthrough
“This evening the Working Party on China's accession has concluded its work apart from some technical details on which rapid progress is also underway. I fully expect the Working Party on Monday to make its formal recommendation to ministers, setting the stage for their approval at our Ministerial Conference in Doha this November. Negotiators from the Member Governments have worked around the clock and the results speak for themselves. We are very close to bringing China into the multilateral trading system.”

911: Friend of Foe; Chinese a Foe
Core Concern: Advance of the Rules Rapers There are many parallels between raping the rules of society for the aims of immediate collateral destruction
and the raping of rules of intellectual property for economic destruction.
China has been waging a stealth economic and intellectual proper war against the US.
China's cool premeditation and planning the hanging of US's economic engine by selling US the rope and convincing our
corporate head that it's in it's own best interest. While the body dies.
We ship all of our "real" jobs actually making "real" stuff overseas,
leaving us with the "knowledge economy" that evaporates like a fart in the wind
because "knowledge" only has value if people respect intellectual property laws.
China does not as well as many in our own economy do not.
In China's effort to pull itself up, it is pulling us down.

And who do you think will be the first to take advantage of the situation when we are concentrating on pounding Ossama and Saddam a new one?
I would be willing to bet that CHINA will be visiting Taiwan just about then!

Clue: CHECK A MAP. China borders Afganistan directly, small but real.

I wonder when someone in the lamestream press is going to see the Chinese Terrorist connection.
Probably when he** freezes over!

More likely, After Afghanistan glazes over!

I heard in passing that the Chinese leaders expressed sorrow for the bombing. IMO, more crocodile tears.

B-B-But the Chinese are our friends. There has to be some explanation other than they are our enemies. We love them so!

Me too. (and where are the folks I've been debating with about China shipping weapons, arms and oblong containers to Panama!)

China dreams of it's empire reborn of America's ashes, just like Islam
When the alpha male is taken a blow, the other rivals make
an opportunistic pact to bring the alpha male down.
This increases both of their chances, where there was none before. Our Genes and our Memes evolved together.
Our brains are made to favor the memes of opportunity.

..."knowledge" only has value if people respect intellectual property laws. This is obviously false.
"Knowledge is power." (Glad that's not copyrighted!)

It means that Communists like dead Americans, and plus they get to reverse engineer anything a US soldier drops in Afghanistan.

China Provides Air Pilot Training to Taliban
Also, WTO thing passed.
http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/asiapcf/central/09/17/wto.china/index.html Chinese leaders are convinced that increased foreign investment and greater access overseas for Chinese exports will create jobs and prosperity --
both key to maintaining the Communist Party's grip on power.

Funny how this passes while the country is distracted by last weeks events.
How much news time do you think the main stream will dedicate to this story?
