#4 A couple years ago, Lula was parading the new strategic partnership with China when Hu was visiting. As soon as Hu got back to China, they slapped tariffs on certain Brazilian imports, making Lula look like a fool. He didnt say anything about it. Now he and Brazil are learning the hard way. The Chinese have never been known to honor any trade agreements or alliances.

I used to visit Sao Paulo a lot the last couple of years. What I noticed was that there was an increasing number of Chinese there, especially in the traditionally Japanese neighborhood of Liberdade. That surprised me. Looks like theyre taking over all over the world now.

#8 RC: OK, honesty time: would you rather go to a Brazilian beach, or a Chinese beach?

The Brazilian version has good-looking (and top-heavy) topless women, but you'd better bring a pistol along. The Chinese version has good looking (but slim) women in one-piece swimsuits, but you're perfectly safe. I think the Chinese version is more relaxing, in every sense of the word.
