a cautionary lesson for the modern world

[abelard]

on the modern barbarians of china

from 'bully of asia' by mosher...an excellent social study of
modern chinese socialism...the echoes of german national
socialism are very instructive...
even echoes of the british empire are none too comfortable

and then there is the eussr!

from p. 212


"all criticism of china's actions in tibet was met by chinese
officials an ordinary citizens alike with a recital of purportedly
irrefutable facts. all chinese know, or think they know, that tibetans
are vastly better off now than they were under the feudal rule of the
dalai lama and that each and every advance since that time has been
due to the generosity of the chinese government and people. that the
tibetans might prefer to govern themselves and enact their own laws
instead of being governed by a foreign race with a superiority complex
is simply inconceivable to them. the same chinese who will rail for
hours about the evil foreigners who colonised china in centuries past,
will angrily defend china's right to colonise tibet in the present
day."

China IS gonna keep Tibet no matter who says what.

We'll be lucky if they don't try to take Taiwan by force
within the next few years. It'll start with a fabricated
dispute or 'insult' or 'incident' and then proceed to an
air/sea blockade to strangle the country.

the only thing stopping these maniacs is the fear that the bomb
will get them too..

'Liary...

where it matters

Well ... they'd protest - and look the other way.

Trump worries them - he appears to have some actual
convictions and, being not of the usual cookie-cutter
politicians mold, they're afraid he might act on those
convictions.

All the troubles visited upon Trump ... someday I think
we will see that there was a lot of Chinese influence
behind it.
