The diplomatic cables are not the only thing released. There are also the videos of the helicopter attacks in Iraq, the Stratfor leaks, and the numerous war logs of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts. This is only for America, not including the data on Iran, big banks, toxic dumping and etc...

I must repeat that being declared an 'enemy' of the United States is the same as being declared an 'enemy combatant' like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The US is going after this journalist. And after this formal designation they can kidnap him and hold him without trial. Any extradition means...

The Pentagon papers involved the NYT leaking classified military documents. If that isn't 'espionage' as per the guidelines of the current US government and military. I don't know what is. Did you see those journalists getting declared enemies? Besides, this precedent lets the US government...

Aside from the Pentagon Papers leak. I never said there was anything wrong with the US declaring Assange the same as a terrorist but at the same time, it seems somewhat hypocritical when you compare it to past leaks, and of course, the policy of the US on free speech and human rights. No...

I never knew Assange was part of the US military. :what: Who knew? Hmm? Manning gave Assange the information. The same thing happened with the Pentagon papers. You don't see the New York Times and its journalists being declared Enemies of the State.

Not Manning, Assange. The person who received the leaks? Going after a foreign journalist is different from going after a whistle-blower.

US calls Assange 'enemy of state' America. The final bastion of free speech, democracy and human rights. :usflag: They should of publicly declared from the start they intended to pursue Assange like a terrorist, leaving no doubts about their policy towards foreign journalists when past...

Where's the money going to come from? For something this grand in scale, it really should be an international effort with funding by every nation.

Qin. The BC one.

The flip-flopper makes grand statements. But I highly doubt he will do anything brave if he gets into office. He contradicts with his past self on nearly every single issue. Not someone with integrity.

:what: Chinese civilization encompasses everything that is part of Chinese culture and history. You saying that the PRC is not Chinese? What is it then? But Mao did destroy a quite alot of history. But then again, so did the Qin Dynasty when they burnt all the books and buried the scholars...

I'm somewhat annoyed everyone neglects the joy that is HK-pop. :angry: Hong Kong should rightfully have its representation of Chinese soft culture. But K-pop and Korean dramas are gold, no disputing that.

Japan's getting assailed on all sides as different parties start joining in, taking advantage of each other's disputes. Russia is joining in with the Kurils, while South Korea will turn up the rhetoric for the Dokdo Islands. If things go worse, China could consider giving public support to...

It's not that bad. It's just that Indian scientists do the research in the US or Western countries rather than India, so their research counts towards those countries. Probably because most Indian students that go abroad to study and research rarely go back.

Taiwanese boats enter waters near disputed islands - CNN.com Very friendly protest with water cannons. I'll prefer keeping it that way. Taiwanese and Chinese Coast Guard ships should join forces and out-spray the Japanese. :lol:

Taiwan supports Chinese sovereignty of the Diaoyu islands. Good for Taiwan. :toast_sign: I wonder if they will send more ships to fight with the Japanese Coast Guard.

I was surprised when I first read online comments supporting the desecration acts by the US soldiers. Thankfully I know that they're not representative of the overall opinion. A civilized nation should always hold itself to a higher standard. Like a democratic nation should always be...

Funny you should mention a global currency. Americans hate the idea of a global currency as part of the NWO hysteria. Of course, they don't think the same if the global reserve currency was the US dollar. China did support the IMF idea of creating special drawing rights as the basis of a...

I think it's a good thing to have a plan rather than hope for the best as time goes on. This is especially true since the Chinese government has proven themselves credible in approaching such goals in the past few decades. The public has the expectation of the government being able to fulfill...
