#8  Under the auspices of the Chin PLAN + PLAAF, two services which weirdly and msyteriously would be the leads in delivering covert Commando-INTEL ground units. CHINA's PLA MODERNIZATION > REMAINS VERY MUCH A WORK-IN-PROGRESS/PROCESS DESPITE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS, i.e. CHINA HAS NOT YET DEV AN EXTENSIVE INTERNATIONAL NETWORK OF PARTY-STATE CONTROLLED, NON-PLA [Foreign Ministry, etc] INFORMATION OR INTEL OPS.

#7  OTOH, WORLD MIL FORUM [paraph = Google Chinglish translation] > IIUC THE CHINESE PLA WILL SEVERELY PUNISH THE ILLEGAL COVERT OPERATIONS OF SMUGGLER"S AND TRAITORS, which IMO may infer the CPC = Chin Military Commission SETTING UP A PCORRECT LEGAL AND DIPLOM BASIS/COVER FOR [anti-Terror?]INTERNATIONAL PLA-LED BLACK OPS???

#6  Also on STRATEGYPAGE: ATTRITION: COMMUNIST REBELS LOSE THEIR EDGE [India].

Methinks its more correct to say the Commies are letting their Theo-Socialist = Fascist "Limited Commie", etc. Islamist cohorts take the lead [fall] for IN-COUNTRY VIOLENCE IN ORDER TO HELP GAIN POLITICAL SEATS. The Commie-Islamist alloance is very much a [Hollyweird]TEMPORARY COLLUSION/MARRIAGE OF MILPOL CONVENIENCE ONLY AS PER WAR FOR OWG-NWO - THE POST-WOT "DIVORCE" T'AINT GONNA BE A PRETTY!

#5  Well, given the run on 'paper' by the US Treasury, it's sort of use it or lose it by the Chinese government. Peak oil meet peak Treasury Bills.

#4  As China has invested a great deal of money and effort towards plundering the oil and mineral riches of the African continent

I think this is more accurate phrasing:

As China has invested squandered a great deal of money and effort towards plundering paying peak prices for the oil and mineral riches of the African continent

#2  We'll see shortly. As China has invested a great deal of money and effort towards plundering the oil and mineral riches of the African continent, I suspect they don't look generously on a bunch of rag tags taking control of any of their ships. I don't think there will be much showing up in the press. Just a continuing decline in the amount of attacks/attackers with no explanation as to how it's occurring.

#1  What China believes is necessary. China doesn't have universities full of anti-Chinese parasites. They may dislike their government but they are still Sino-centric chauvinistic.
