Hello Hamoon,, FYI, the British Common law practiced in HK has been fully xlated into simplified Chinese character text. What do you suppose it could mean for the future? Uh.. inner party democracy? Do you think the power elite in Bejing are just going to "roll over" and let you up-start capitalists in Hong Kong tell them what to do? Who still has the PLA on their side? Hmmm... Hawk

Looks like Stratfor is having another hissy fit. Paulson acts like a realist, instead of a neo-con space cadet, and you can sense the criticism comming from Strafor. Also, I think "responsible stakeholder" is derived from "peaceful rise" or some other Chinese policy, not made in Washington (..." take the "responsible stakeholder" concept and run with it" ) Well, Treasury Secretary is a dangerous job for any one with a bias towards reality , at leaat in the GWB administration => Paul O'Neil, sacked for saying what the Iraq war would cost, John Snow for who knows what, and now Paulson is getting crap less than 9 months into the job. Raising questions about the 9 tons of Plutonium India has and the re-labeling of a big civilian reactor to military should be brought up. The 1000 troops for Leabanon is 600 more than the French were going to send. >> You would think the US might consider selected arms sales to China, to recycle some T-bills and forestall the Europeans and Russians ;-) Maybe some earlier model F-16s ;-) This would also be a good way to prompt Japan and Korea to buy the F-22 to maintain an edge. Maybe even Taiwan could buy the same model F-16, so as both defend the island and to have parts commonality after unification ;-)
