TJ, there's a lot of future still to go. I think Maoris, who you think are anti-white people, have more in common with the average Kiwi than they do with Hu Jintao's gang.
We non-racists don't think in terms of superficiality. Maoris are descendants of Taiwanese, who are descendants of people who also had Hu Jintao's gang as descendants. That doesn't mean they think their 454th cousin 950 times removed should take over and boss them around, confiscate their property and maybe do really mean things.
The situation you describe is certainly unsettling. Having 200 million Islamic Jihadists, backed by 1.3 billion atavistic megalomaniacs, is certainly disconcerting. I wonder who will get India, the goodies or the baddies? I think Indians have more in common with the goodies than the baddies. Hey, the Russians! They are probably on China's side, being big sellers of gas and far from Beijing, though Russians should remember that even on an onager, Genghis and his troops could cover a few miles. His descendants, such as Seung-Hui Cho could really cover the ground on the trans Siberian railway.
Now, we'll need an archduke and a Serbian with a starter pistol.
I recall the string of pearls defence plan.
I was chatting with George [a Cook Islands Maori friend] and my sister in law who was visiting and doing a story on Cook Islands for USA media. China is buying Cook Islands, which is nominally sort of part of New Zealand: <In the meantime, new Chinese aid projects were announced in January 2006, including a cyclone-proof highway alternative to the Nikao seawall in Rarotonga and an enclosed sports stadium. During that same month the Cook Islands government also signed a contract to build the island nation's police station with full funding by the People's Republic of China. Some sixty Chinese workers were expected on the construction site at its peak. By April 2006 China was offering the Cook Islands NZ$4 million more for infrastructure projects ( CIN, 8 April 2006, 1). It did not go unnoticed that 165 countries worldwide had diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China. In July 1997, the Cook Islands had become one of nine Paci?c Island countries to recognize China and its "One-China policy." China had clearly been expanding its diplomatic presence in the Paci?c region with embassies in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Tonga, Federated States of Micronesia, and Kiribati. In fact, China now has the largest number of diplomats in the region ( CIN, 21 Sept 2005, 6). >
Who will Cook Islands vote for at UN meetings? Cook Islands looks like a pearl.
Contrary to what you think, the English took over New Zealand by buying it, other than in skirmishes against certain tribes in which other tribes helped defeat the recalcitrant Maori enemies. It looks as though China will use the same mechanism. So far, they are well underway with Cook Islands. They could toss Helen Clark a bone and maybe a blanket and a couple of muskets and she'd lick their boots like a happy puppy and deliver NZ lock stock and barrel.
As Japan has found, it's a lot easier to buy countries than conquer them like the good old days. It's a good trick to manage to get Australia to back Japan rather than China and shows the paucity of China's approach to people. Even with the living-memory carnage from Japan, Australia would rather back them than China.
Meanwhile, CDMA is spreading faster than Chinese bribery, so it's a fun race. I am predicting that CDMA will win. China will be powerless against it.
China is trying to introduce TD-SCDMA, pretending to call it a Chinese invention ... giggle. Just another attempt to steal from people who know how to do things. Genghis and co certainly sent China off down a blind alley from which China has never recovered and doesn't seem likely to any time soon. Hunter-gatherer megalomaniac thievery chromo-lattice ideology is hard to abandon. Lions don't turn vegetarian. Leopards are still spotted.
Nature is relentless, working day and night to create the future from feats of clay.
