can't wait for Boroda to come back.
You'll see him and Dead patting eachother on the fanny while wearing red matching underwear, one with the hammer and the sickle, the other one with gold stars.

*sigh* I wish: if I got a serious offer of work in Shanghai, I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Well you'd better tell your government: they're supposedly labouring under the idea that there's only one China.

My government will be a rather harder sell for you: still, feel free to address all complaints to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the People's Republic of China in Beijing. They're in charge of interpreting the Basic Law. (Of which Article One reads: "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is an inalienable part of the People's Republic of China.")

I'll warn you now, though: the chairman, Wu Bangguo is a bit of card-carrying communist, what with him being on the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China's Central Committee.

The closer that china steps toward free market and citizen self rule, the more america gains a sibling. That bothers some resentful creatures.

I do not underestimate the great chinese civilization. They will triumph over the emeny of truth and individual liberty. Too long have they suffered the indignity of this religion of subserviance and ignorance.

Well, I've just got back from 3 days away off roading and fishing and I see this conversation has fallen ever deeper into the gutter with so many poor missconceptions about China and it's people.

So I'm not bothered answering some of the questions posted let alone drawing my girlfriends attention to them.

Around the world one of the many missconceptions about Americans is that they are extremely arrogrant, especially when it comes to other nations. Spending too much time on this BBS and I can see how some people might believe this is true.

Night all.

Americans are arrogarnt, but not completely unduly. Imagine if the french or italians were the proprioters of the best country on earth. We'd never hear the end of it.

As much as my countrymen don't like to hear it. Americans come off as very arrogant. As one of my former commanders used to say while chewing on his toothpick. "Don't be the arrogant american."

Why is the ordinary american arrogant? Because the ordinary american is an ordinary human being. Don't kid yourself and think that your countymen would be any different.

dead... I would agree with you... If I lived under a communist government that had absolutely no control over me then it would be better than the one I am under.

Yep the only difference is we know where it got us. You guys have yet to learn. Arrogance and Empire don't make you too popular in this world.

What you don't realize is that you are equally as overbearing and arrogant.

You'll figure it out eventually.

If you'll recall, the evil Chicom tank crew didn't do anything to the guy - so they score on the tired and relieved of duty National Guard in the humanity stakes. That's not to say that they didn't then drive off and kill loads of people: who knows? Most likely they did. I studied at one of the more radical Beijing universities the year after, so you can save yourself the trouble of educating me on that.
Actually I was just illustrating that all governments, regardless of their system, will repress people they feel are a threat to the system of government, with extreme prejudice as the more euphamistic killers would have it. Try setting up an Al Qaida group if you don't believe me.

You're right there: it certainly bothers NUKE and spitfiremkv.

Not sure how we got on to Christianity, here but I'm with you on being down on it, although I take the view that is more down to being gullible and in need of reassurance, really.

Arrogant? I don't see anyone being arrogant in this thread. Nobody really has said anything bad about the Chinese people that I recall.

I have nothing against the Chinese people......just their oppressive government.

That's were you are wrong. I want the Chinese people to be successful and free. People don't like the US government and hate Bush.......yet they are not labeled as arrogant.

I do not like the Chinese communist government and I do not like it when people try to tell me that people are perfectly free in communist China.

Beats the hell out of me why that seems arrogant to some.

to say that the existence of communism bothers me is an understatement!

"I want the Chinese people to be successful and free"

As long as that freedom conforms to the current US administrations definition of the term?

This kind of freedom?

And Our troops doing it too !!!

Not a very good moral standpoint to come from realy!
We'd better check out ourselves before telling others how to be free and fair!
