#3 In related news: Nobody cares about China's continued brutal occupation of Tibet, its threats to annihilate the democratic republic of China in Taiwan, its alliance with nihilist-dystopian North Korea or its barbarous totalitarian oppression of its own citizenry. Keep those Walmart shoppers happy.

#4 Exactly, Excalibur. Just let your local TV station know that you won't be watching the Olympics in 2008 so they might as well show Barney Miller reruns instead.

#7 that marks a shift from Beijings policy of not interfering in the affairs of another nation.

They must have used a snow shovel to scoop that much bullshit into a line of print. China is complicit in some of the most vile and ruthless tyrannies on earth.

Bingo, Excalibur. I'm glad to see that someone else has arrived at the decision to boycott Wal-Mart. Their purchases represent a solid 10% of our trade imbalance with China. The Chinese Olympics need a shaft in their spokes. I wonder if the pro-Tibet leftists will be able to bring themselves to boycott their socialist utopian brethern in Beijing.

#8 Walmart's April-to-April sales are down 3.5% while other retailers are up. Maybe a boycott is under way already, or maybe people have caught on that really cheap crap is still crap.
Wherever I look at China the creepy factor starts to kick in. The buses here in NYC are advertising a Chinese exhibition of human bodies, preserved, skinned and disected. The posters show a young, healthy Chinese man (with his Chinese eyes) who was flayed and preservatised. I look at him and think, "what was your story, pal?"

#9 They're worried about conditions in Darfur+Sudan alright. Worried about their oil wells and oil worker technicians. The ones murdered and kidnapped by Islamo nutcases. Soooo, it is necessary to expedite 300 military engineers(is this their version of spec ops?) to the area. And, if this isn't enough there's 300,000 more where they came from. Short but sweet message from ChiComs----don't ever f**k with us again.
