<<Your post may have been factual>> ... yes, full stop. <<but your comparisons imply a degree of Chinese virtue that is unwarranted>> ... do you know of any other culture treating the babies of invaders this way? no. full stop. <<China saved a few Japanese kids>> ... you have a way with numbers, regarding thousands. <<US military power that liberated China from Japan>> ... not even true as an exaggeration. <<But without US involvement, China could well have been genocided out of existence>> ... difficult to believe, given that the japanese are a superior culture in that they sniff ... never mind, and that they themselves believed, back in 1943, that they will lose, and sent emissories to negotiate separate peace.

TJ drags up ancient history, but ignores modern history. He is in favour of shooting Tibetan children escaping China's clutches, walking over the mountains to freedom. Our daughter's boyfriend's father swam to freedom from China a few decades ago, escaping to New Zealand. I am glad TJ wasn't a border guard standing by in China, taking pot shots at him in the water. If we didn't want him, we could always shoot him as he swam to New Zealand [I'm not sure how he got to NZ, but I don't really think he swam all the way]. Interestingly, his son Aaron broke all swimming records at Onehunga High School. He worries about Japanese young women selling purportedly used knickers, but is gung ho for a good killing of such people if they dare head for freedom from China after doing a striptease at a funeral [which China's bosses have decided is poor form and due for repression]. His sense of proportion seems a bit out of whack. Mqurice
