G'day all - Paul & Zeev, while it is a good thing to have advocacy groups like AFR editorial, I am not sure how big a bomb this is:
insidechina.com
On this so called historical day here in the US, the sound & the fury seems to ring louder on the editorial pages than in the main street. Obviously, most of us have seen the writing on the wall weeks, if not months ago. But enough digression. Remember back a month or so ago when China executed a few hoodhums [who kidnapped the wealthy Hong Kongese. They did it to Li Ka-shing's son twice!] HK authority put up a weak protest, but, everyone was happy to get rid of the mess. Before the changeover, China also did a sham election of HK legislative council. So long as the conglomerates are protected, money will flow.
Am I being cynical? Not really. While I try to be pragmatic, I think if these international bleedhearts are truly concerned, they are talk about the real things, be it Tibet, Kosovo or what have you.
best, Bosco |
