#1 Guess which issue is receiving zero attention in the Chinese press?

#2 If we survive the next few years, history will recall our collaboration with the ChiComs in the same light as the 1930s.

#3 Is this going to be like that garbage barge from New York (or similar) that sailed around the world for a year or two looking for a place to unload before ending up back at its original destination?
