ElM, you are right and the race has been on for a while. China is doing like the British Empire a couple of centuries ago - sailing around the Pacific with loads of loot, bribing the local yokels. Locals being yokels are only too willing to accept the offer. Contrary to Snowshoe's, BS's, TJ's and your ignorant misunderstanding, that's how the English did it too. Doing like the Japanese in Nanking makes people angry for the rest of their lives. My uncle [born 1910 and taken prisoner in WWII by Germans] never forgave Japan for the horrors they perpetrated across the Pacific, and would never buy Japanese. He died early this century. Already, a good proportion of my neighbours are from China [in the last couple of decades]. I grew up in Mangere, again surrounded by people from China. Auckland is rapidly becoming Made in China. Since China's bosses have so much money and wants lots of UN votes, they are able to buy a lot of "loyalty". Pretty soon they'll be suggesting new, improved, constitutions with close associations with China. A bit like the Treaty of Waitangi in NZ with the Maoris. China being China, they won't mention habeas corpus, common law, democracy, freedom, self-determination, or any of those VVV. Mqurice
