Bingo.
whenever the ethnic and religious masses of chinese stray too far from the reservation,
the chicoms bring them back into line by means of
nationalism.

Maintaining normal trade relations with China - most favored nation status should continue - Madeleine Albright, Secretary of State - Transcript
US Department of State Dispatch, June, 1997
(a short snip):
Mr. Chairman, there is no greater opportunity -- or challenge -- in U.S. foreign policy today than to encourage China's integration as a fully responsible member of the international system. President Clinton's decision to extend most-favored-nation or normal trade relations with China reflects our commitment to this goal.
At the same time, the Administration fully shares many of the concerns expressed in Congress and elsewhere about some Chinese policies and practices. Principled criticism of Chinese actions that offend our values or run counter to our interests is vital -- because it demonstrate that the concerns we address through our diplomacy are deeply rooted in the convictions of the American people.

When the Japanese look up again after playing pachinko they'll see their world is changing.
This about Taiwan.
I have bookmarked this thread to read your links. Thanks for posting them.
When the demos first started , it looked like China was playing "Diplomatic shadow boxing"
Now, as the demos heat up, it looks like they are using "diplomatic shaolin kungfu". Shaolin is the "Hard or external" system of kungfu as opposed to the "soft" (subtle) systems like Tai-Chi, Paqua or even Wudan
Can they achieve their diplomatic objectives ?
The headlines are wrongly translated
The correct one should read
"The Japanese Invaders (of 1937-1945) deserved their deaths"
We need to find other places to purchase products from.
Its nuts to be pumping all of this money into China when they are doing the strategic things that they are doing. China is not our friend.
The things that China sells us can be made in many countries around the globe; we need to start finding them.
Sounds very Zin to me.
You meant to say "ZEN", of course
"The things that China sells us can be made in many countries"
Yeah....such as the USA.....why we shipped our jobs and industrial base/brick/mortar to them in such a massive and sudden way is stupid and even subversive......and soon we will no longer be able to deny those facts.
Of course, it would seem like the Japanese started to play the game called "Baiting the Dragon"
Now, maybe we are seeing the first part of China's response
The Beijing rent a mob
