Nihao Yiwu <65 miles = 104 kilometers > Well done Yiwu! Good girl. But you are very naughty because you are supposed to be ignoring my racist posts. Go back to planning WWIII with your stupid, criminal, illegal, insane and megalomaniacal invasion plans for Taiwan. Actually, it won't be WWIII because the USA is quite grumpy these days and is likely to deliver quite a force-field in the hegemonist's direction which will be quite brief and won't involve the whole world, though the whole world will support them in their decision to stop aggressive megalomaniacs in their tracks. Unfortunately, it's a lesson megalomaniacs have to learn every time a new one comes to the fore. Look where Hitler and Saddam finished up. In holes underground. There is a very good lot of holes under Beijing where Hu Jintao could hide. The public ones aren't very nice but I suppose there have been upgraded tunnels for the rulers. Saddam's hole was so small it was easy to find him. The USA is having trouble with individuals in Iraq, but they do much better on big, set-piece battles involving high-tech, high-powered armaments, which would be useful for stopping aggressive Chinese military action. China should look at how Japan and Germany have proceeded since WWII for an idea on how best to proceed. They use chequebooks as weapons of mass control. They work much much better. Lots of people around the world are working for Japanese and German companies, buying their products and contributing to putting them in the top echelon of nations. Japan is number 3 in economic oomph and Germany is number 4. China is coming up fast and should be number 1 in a couple of decades, having overtaken Japan and Germany. That is unless they completely mess things up which seems likely. Though I suspect that when that waco, Jiang Zemin, is out of the picture, Hu Jintao will smooth things over and steer a more sensible course. From the CIA factbook cia.gov GDP Purchasing power parity: USA.... $10 trillion China... $6tn Japan... $4tn Germany. $2tn Russia, Brazil, etc also ran. NZ...... $0.08tn Note that New Zealand is approaching $0.1 trillion so we only need to do a 100 bagger to catch up to the USA. I think we should invade China, annex it and then we would be number 1. Hu Jintao was in New Zealand last October wanting to China to join up with New Zealand. If he behaves himself, we might allow China to join our club by agreement rather than colonizing them. We are attracting quite a lot of Chinese nationals these days, which is an easier way of taking them over than actually invading. Heck, they even pay for their own tickets to get here. We used to pay poms to come out to NZ [which was a big mistake as they were the lazy blighters who were left behind when the British Empire was built and the bright energetic ones left to rule the world]. I'll have to get my abacus out to do some arithmetic on Chinese migration to figure out when New Zealand's GDP will overtake China's. At the rate they are arriving, it shouldn't be long. Zaijian, Mqurice PS: China took over Hong Kong, which could yet turn out to be a tar-baby. The locals seem a little restive at Beijing's impositions. Sometimes, when taking things over, it's better to use innovative means. So, for example, NZ is taking over China in reverse, they come here. Japan took over NZ using cash flow [nearly all cars are Japanese and they get a lot of our fish, logs and stuff - we work for not much money growing and harvesting trees and they tend their robotic car factories and send us their old, second-hand ones]. It was much more successful than the Japan Greater Co-Prosperity Sphere which made a big mess in China [some Chinese are still annoyed, unsurprisingly since they remember the horrors] and ended with nukes in Nagasaki. Perhaps China could best take over Hong Kong by having Hong Kong take over China, and make Taiwan also bid for the privilege. USA financiers would want to be in on the bidding so Hu Jintao could get a very, very high price! I think the biggest transaction in human history is in the offing. Jay could arrange it and take a 0.00001% commission for his efforts. Ramsey Su could arrange the USA financiers. I get a royalty for the idea. You could even have a job - there must be something you can do.
