China Strengthens Ties With Taleban by Signing Economic Deal

John Pomfret

Washington Post Service Thursday, September 13, 2001

READ THE ARTICLE...

Summary:

"...China has signed a memorandum of understanding for economic and technical cooperation with Kabul..."

"(reported) "... from Afghanistan and Pakistan..."

"...The agreement was reported Tuesday, the same day terrorists hijacked four planes in the United States and drove them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon..."

RVR Comment - Interesting Timing!!!!!

"...the most substantial part of a series of contacts that Beijing has had with Afghanistan over the last two years...."

"... Of all non-Muslim countries, Beijing now has the best relationship with the isolated regime in Kabul in the world..."

"...the contacts have disturbed high-ranking officials from the West and some of China's central Asian neighbors.."

".... said they worried that Beijing was trying to curry favor with Kabul at the same time it made a public show of opposing terrorism which seemed to be supported by Afghanistan..."

"... China has helped form the Shanghai Cooperative Organization that joins Russia and three central Asian nations in a loose grouping..."

"... China is quietly dealing with the Taleban as part of an effort to convince its officials to close Afghan-based camps that are used to train Muslim

"...China has dangled the prospect of providing Afghanistan with much needed help on its infrastructure and economic development.."

"....two Chinese telecommunications firms, Huawei Technologies and ZTE, signed contracts to provide limited phone service for Kabul and Kandahar, near where the suspected terrorist Osama bin Laden is supposedly based..."

"...Huawei as one Chinese firm that was involved in helping Iraq bolster its air defenses by selling it communications equipment.."

"...Chinese engineers have also held negotiations with Taleban officials about renovating an American-built power station, ..."

"...political contacts between China and the Taleban government have grown...."

"China has got to make a decision and a decisive one on Afghanistan..."

Note to all the China asskissers and Sinophiles; we told you so. Also, any US businesses that contracted with the red sons of bitches now have buckets of innocent American blood on their hands. Again, we true conservatives told you so.

OH wow Landru.......I am so glad to see you. I have been going between crying, being angry and wanting these evil people dead.

I am so glad you are ok and your Mrs. Landru will be home soon. Here I thought she was there already. That has to be very hard to be apart,

BINGO! You scored a direct hit. Every time you shop at Wal-mart or a Sam's Club, the Chinese military become stronger and closer to having the means to ending our way of life. My family has activity boycotted Wal-mart for years now. China is NOT a friend of ours! They want our money and nothing else. They can go to hell with the rest of the anti-American bastards!

I believe the agreement was signed before the attack occured, due to the time zone differences (Int'l Date Line is in the Pacific, so it was much earlier in the day Tuesday in China).

But, it hardly matters, the points made herein still stand... and China is still our enemy. God help our nation!

The defined purpose for going into Afganistan must be to take out the Taliban and every vestige of terrorist support. If China engages in shipping in arms then take out the sources of those arms by whatever means necessary.

This is war. The survival of our nation and its people is at stake. The objective is the utter destruction of our enemy. If that means our enemy takes thirty million dead so be it. I note that a ratio of 10,000 for one sounds like a reasonable rate of retribution.

I believe China helped in this operation. Somehow, some way, they were involved because they stand to gain from a weakened U.S. The chess game begins.

I never trusted the Chinese and I think these companies are fools. Slick Willie bamboozled them with his contacts over there, which he gained by giving them everything they wanted. Once these companies establish the infrastructure and develop the markets, the Chinese will say, just as the Mafia does, "Thank you very much, now goodbye. We can handle it from here."

BINGO BUMP

---one more example of the intellectualy bereft, and economically corrupt "global free traders" philosophies. It is past time to cease "doing business" with china and the islamic countries who harbor and sponsor anti western thoughts and ideologies. We need to ONLY trade with those countries who embrace freedoms, who do not have a dictator style government. We need to severely limit immigration and tourism, keep applying limits until we have eliminated those threats to the domestic soil to the best of our abilities. We need to stop being tied economically to the islamic oil producing nations and china. No amount of profits that they make or our domestic "free traders" make result in any changes to their governments or practices. These so-called "patriotic" international companies need to be put on notice to voluntarily remove themselves from those countries, and to cease and desist doing business with them. It is time to re-think "treason" and start calling a spade a spade. We need to reinvest in our own country and in those countries who have similar freedom philosophies and governments and people.

We are currently focusing on 'the taliban" and osama bin laden, but there are terrorist organizations from a variety of countries in the US and other western nations now. They are from china to cuba to mexico to the list of middle eastern and african and far eastern asian countries. It's time to admit reality on this. There just ARE bad nations and bad people out there that we shouldn't "do business" with.

And our completely lax and bogus immigration and "tourism", "business","educational", and "cultural" travellers policies are completely insecure. Completely. We have been lead down the ostrich headed primrose path by the blood money profiteers.

This latest terror attack is just one of many so far, albeit the largest, but more are coming, and they can and will be be much worse. Until we turn about 180 degres and re-gain national security from the actual human being level it will just continue. Our politicians and business "leaders" have lead us astray. No amount of "profits" are worth these disastrous policies that have been forced on us by the blood money traders. We need independence and security, not the opposite.

"China is not the enemy."

We may not ever find direct proof that the Chi-Coms had anything to do with the WTC Terrorist Attack; however, IMHO, you are displaying a dangerous naivete if you discount the Chi-Com Tyrants as an enemy of America. I'm not intending to disparage all the Chinese people, so if that's what you meant by your comment, I tend to agree with you. Still, the Butchers of Beijing, the Tyrannical Leaders of the Chi-Coms, well, yes, they are EVIL and very much so the Enemies of FReedom and of America!!

butt....we can't nuke 'em (the Chinese).

Americans need all the 'stuff' they manufacture.

Besides, if we aren't friends anymore, who but America is going to supply the PLA with a $40 billion dollar a year trade surplus?

(A belated) thanks for the heads-up, Chris. New and frightening 'coalitions' appear to be forming all the time, making the concept of the fictional 'Greater Islamic Republic' (and its potential non-Islamic cohorts in aggression) even more plausible, and more frightening, than it was when it was simply a brainchild written on paper in black-and-white. The 'timing' of this economic 'memorandum of understanding' is pretty irrelevant. The (so-called) People's Republic of China, for its part, is never averse to forming any alliance which will promote its insidious ideological agenda -- rubbing economic elbows with the accomplices of known terrorists notwithstanding.

An aside: My Dad was reading the most recent chapter of 'Breath of Fire' the morning of the terrorist attacks, and when the news (and pictures) of the terrorism in New York and DC began to be reported, he said it was almost surreal. He had some difficulty divorcing the story from the 'real life' events that were unfolding before him (said he felt almost as if the news reports he was hearing were a new portion of the ongoing saga). Sometimes truth can be more horrifying than fiction....

Stay well....
