Hey don't get so excited, you guys spilling coffee all over your keyboards!:lol:

The Paracel Islands are our property and I avoided naming an adversary as not to embarrass the gentleman I was talking to. It's a very sensitive issue for them, you know. :azn:

Liaoning is the name of a Province in northeastern China, bordering North Korea. The Great Wall begins or ends here where the land meets the ocean. It takes the name of Liao River, which transverses the province, and Ning means peacefully quiet. Liaoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As far as China is concern, the way I see it. there are two groups of islands where she has no choices but to fight to the bitter ends if they are being challenged. All the others are negotiable. 1) Diaoyu Islands. The sea lanes around these islands are too vital for her merchant fleets and...

I hope this will hit home the message and let there be no doubt at all what we will do if Japan intends to develop the islands militarily or economically. Put the burden of war right on her face! "If war breaks out between China and Japan, it will be a war that washes away the humiliation that...

He's around. His new alter ego is funnier though.

He is not Chinese. Hey artie, have you find out what oversea Chinese call their mainland brothers yet?

China and Japan's cultures are close but the people were never harmonious and it'll probably take a generation or two to forget the recent past histories if nothing goes wrong for the meantime. I'm sure you know the familiar feelings with your neighbor. Lat time when China let foreign powers...

Hilary did change her tone over the weekend on sideline of the APEC meeting in Vladivostok where she called for restraints of her two allies in the disputes. There's no doubt the US can influence Japan in the Diaoyu disputes, the question is whether it's in her interest for these two former...

China Aug vehicle sales up 8.3 percent, pickup seen in autumn (Reuters) - Vehicle sales in China rose 8.3 percent in August from a year earlier, maintaining a steady pace though far from the blistering speed of recent years, as a recent fuel price rise and a slowing economy discouraged...

I'm not sure China won't start anything if Japan builds some kind military infrastructure on the island or or begins oil/gas explorations in this general area. The pressures are simply too huge for the party to take actions other than rhetoric. The point is Japan knows this and the burden for...

We all know who created the mess in the first place and who now gives Japan the 'audacity' to iterate her sovereignty on those islands. But the move by Noda here, I believe, is to take the loony Tokyo mayor, Shintaro Ishihara, out of the international spot light and not to further antagonize...

^^^A little confusing here. On your previous post you said Hoas are the Chinese immigrants from the last Chinese civil war and now you say they are not considered an ethnic group of Vietnam. OK I accept that and they are merely immigrants from China with or without Vietnamese citizenship...

How are you going to locate them, in Wikipedia? Hans are in every level of Vietnam societies and most masquerade as the other ethnic groups, the Gins in particular, for fears of persecutions. After millenniums I presume their numbers are huge too. Don't be surprised most of your ruling elites...

I'm sure they're treated as well as any other ethnic group in Vietnam now a days the same way we treat the Gins as Chinese. Is your second part mean the Hoas are exempt from military service? If so why or other minority groups are also exempt too? I don't want to put you in a difficult situation...

Let me post some questions to my Vietnamese friends here. As we know most Vietnamese former royals were once generals and high ministers from the Chinese imperial court. Every time they moved south to takeover the administrations of present day Vietnam they brought their families, assistants and...

I see where you're getting at. You're absolutely right in this case. Gwadar Port's value is small for China if there's no road/rail link connects directly to western China and the investment is not worth it considering China, mostly likely, will use the Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka as the...

The 40 year contract was sign with PSA of Singapore in 2007 so it has 35 years left. A Chinese company taking over solves many disputes. There's no such deal of a Naval base and here's a link that gives a better idea. Asia Times Online :: China News, China Business News, Taiwan and Hong Kong...

Some debts are not meant to be payback and this might be one of them, but don't worry, China will benefited in more ways than one before she asks for repayments. You ever heard of a banker in the short end of a deal?

You make it sound like the Karakoram Highway is built only for the Chinese government which is not true at all. The concept of the highway is to benefit bilateral trade between the two countries for a long time to come. Any extension below the mountainous part is just another highway for...
