Around the uproar over the last crackdowns in Tibet CCTV was awash with various shows all about how wonderful things were in Tibet and how much the public appreciated the Chinese presence and communist rule. Purely coincidental I'm sure...MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-63293090792766823312009-10-01T20:39:05.059-05:002009-10-01T20:39:05.059-05:00Elisa, it meant a lot to me too, but I suspect not...Elisa, it meant a lot to me too, but I suspect not the same as your mother, for to me it was rthe commemoration of a tragedy.<br /><br /> I can sort of Sympathize, though I have known Chinese nationals who despise Communism, hence why hey live in the States.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-22885859463683297672009-10-01T08:13:25.505-05:002009-10-01T08:13:25.505-05:00My mom watched the parade on CCTV 9 (the English l...My mom watched the parade on CCTV 9 (the English language channel from Beijing) last night. <br />I watched a portion of it: the flag raising and the military parade.

They have the largest army and air force in the world, have been building up their navy and nuclear arsenal in addition to owning a huge chunk of US debt and are the primary source of cheap labor for the "workers paradises" in Europe -so at this point there is only so far anyone can push them. But this is going way, way overboard. My only hope for the long term is that they will be killed by their own prosperity (and I mean the CCP not the Chinese people who I hope live '10,000 years') as they now have managed to merge communist oppression with capitalist greed. Add that to the one-child policy and they may be headed for quite an abyss.MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-32954940840520142302009-09-29T22:02:00.597-05:002009-09-29T22:02:00.597-05:00I think, perhaps, it is because the Chinese Govern...I think, perhaps, it is because the Chinese Government is quite insular, and takes great pains to force governments to toe their line or suffer... shall we say consequences?<br /><br />Consider the issues between Australia and China on trade. A Chinese bid for a constortium that had an interest in Defence land was knocked back, and meetings by Government and Opposition Ministers with the Dalai Lama are always opposed by the Chinese embassy. They seem to me like spoilt children, so used to having their way that they have a hissy fit when it doesn't.<br /><br />A principled stand, firm but polite, is called for. Make no mistake, China is too economically active in the world for any war to be made on it without a great loss of prosperity (not to mention the Americans are essentially living on Chinese loans, considering their government's enormous debt). But that doesn't mean that we can't tell them to take their preferences and stick them... shall we say in their donkeys?LAW Wellshttp://lawwreview.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-68823952784581812542009-09-29T19:56:45.290-05:002009-09-29T19:56:45.290-05:00It staggers the imagination.

Times like this I ask myself, would so many countries be this cozy to Germany if the Nazi Party was still in charge and had a huge portrait of Hitler hanging over the Brandenburg Gate? Would they? Because Chairman Mao actually killed far more people than Adolf did. *Staggers the imagination*MadMonarchisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08083008336883267870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-73314498366893254612009-09-29T18:13:17.137-05:002009-09-29T18:13:17.137-05:00What?!
