@ahojunk - I find Xinhua headline 'misplaced enthusiasm'; what is attributed to the Sri Lankan FM sounds like Diplomatic-speak for not wanting to get drawn into this mess. He may well have supported China's position but its not clear from this article.
I'm a little confused about China's stand...
Guys - There is no such report/press release by Saudi Interior Ministry; these are just news pieces emanating out of newspapers in Pakistan. Please wait for details to come out from official Saudi sources, otherwise you may just be setting yourself up for unnecessary ridicule later
South China Sea has become a hot button issue and in my view will have immense bearing on how geo-politics/balance of power will shape out in the next few years. I honestly believe the issue is best resolved by countries in the region talking to each other; proxies (US, EU, Japan, Others) should...

It is quite silly maligning a whole country over a random guys unfortunate experience or a stray incident.
China does not have a long history of inward migration (compared to say US) but whatever I have heard from professional acquaintances/friends working in China - has been great. Specially...
It is quite possible that this article is a motivated plant/complete fabrication, but to me the real questions are:
?1. Will this create as much outrage as Panama Papers did for NS?
?2. Will it be investigated at all?
?3. Will Musharraf/Kayani face the flak, if it is true?

Someone should gift our Chinese friends (both the folks who run the country & PDFer's here) Dale Carnegie's "How To Win Friends & Influence People".

@Anubis - Please don't waste your time with this retard, even low-life terrorists wouldn't waste a bullet on him.
My prayers are with Bangladeshi brothers. Stay Strong!
