I have been in China, travelled the country so I know first hand. What I didn't see is the oppression you think is taking place everywhere. Tibet might be a different case. China is an emerging giant and therefore cannot be ignored. Strong trading relationships are important and we will forge them with India too. What is it they say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer

Look I have no objection to the people of Tibet and Taiwan deciding for themselves whatever China might say but you have to remember history and part of it is the defense the west made in these cases. The west did not defend Tibet and it is now part of China. The west has defended Taiwan to some extent and it remains outside of China. Any conflict over there could involve big changes in the political landscape and I could see China trading off NK for Taiwan. China has no traditional claims to NK but they do to Taiwan

Never mind the reality people AREN'T free to travel ANYWHERE they want in China any more than they are in Vietnam... you still aren't in Russia. YOu WILL be followed.. and you WILL be watched... and if you DO go certain places you WILL be stopped.
But then... its always the left that defends them... |

Well March has come and gone and what are we left with. NK seems to be the continuing theme but all else is resolved
The sequester grinds on Governments have not fallen The stock market has not fallen The catholics are pondering the actions of their new leader The rhetoric flows in so many ways |

The sequester grinds on... and the Obots learned that you can threaten to furlough meat inspectors ;but if they did ,they would be negligent... So the Prez and Veep scheduled more vacation time ;and Zero announced today he'd take a 5% hair cut.
The NORKS have ramped it up beyond the normal Kim blowing out their a$$ rhetoric There is no place to put investment money except the stock market bubble . Pope Francis is interesting . Don't think he will tinker with doctrine . Cannibals NY have gone back to being just plain corrupt crooks . First we learn that we have been voted the least free state in the union ;then we learn that NYC Tamney Hall Dems want to make NYC the most politically corrupt city . To wrest that from Chi-town... now that would be an achievement . N.Y. politicians arrested in alleged mayoral race bribe scheme | Reuters |

Yes interesting that BO is showing his solidarity with those affected by the sequester, I would be more impressed if he took an unpaid furlough, a month would be appropriate.
If I were over there Tom I think I would be putting my investment money in a kerosene tin in the back yard but everything is not that bad, I managed to sell some shares at a profit during March and bought myself a new car so having done my bit for the economy I continue to contemplate what to do with those other holdings in loss |
