Is that where China does a turkey shoot of escaping Tibetans? <<The two countries recently reopened cross-border trade at the Himalayan Nathu La Pass last July, 44 years after trade ended in the wake of a short border war between them. > It's surprising that TJ is in favour of shooting people trying to escape such suppression. Imagine children wriggling in the snow as they bleed to death with their bodies ripped apart by big, tough soldiers' bullets. But I know it takes all sorts. I hear the Japanese used to do nasty things in China too, but apparently TJ doesn't think that was okay. He goes on about something from 70 years ago, but doesn't blanch at current horrors - he thinks "Oh, it's just some of those Tibetans getting what they deserve". I hope Abe visits their shrine and specifically taunts the Chinese with a speech "We would like to talk to the families of those children you shot who were escaping from Tibet" and "Just how do you plan to invade Taiwan if not by killing people?". Since the Americans got going with their no habeas corpus, water-boarding, and death-dealing interviews, we haven't heard them going on much about China's human rights record. I imagine the Chinese would pull out a dossier of photos. Mqurice
