Thank you for the ping.
Even tho I am late in reading my pings, I have posted it on the WT thread.
I would be interested on your thoughts on the Chinese in Palestine as advisors......in post 417.
I pulled several searches, it looks interesting, but I have not gone back to work them through.

I do not know enough about this particular person to comment though Chinese activity worldwide - strategically and tactically is mind boggling. They have entrenched themselves in africa, specially oil and strategic metals regions, they control the ports at each end of every major shipping lane. they have taken over ports at the ends of canals like the Panama and water passageways.
BTW, about eight years or so a go there was a terrific world map that showed all the ports the Chinese controlled and the shipping lanes to/from those ports. I have never been able to find it again. though out of date by now to some degree it was an eye opener. If you ever run across it, I would love to have a copy.
I shall see if I can get any feedback on the Chinese operative who used to hang out with Arafart.
