#2 Xingjian was mainly muslim and borders AQ countries. In fact AC would like the province. (Was as in the Han are moving there in mass - I will disagree with the State Dept and think that movement is a good thing.)

#3 Displacing and outbreeding Muslims is a good agenda for China.

China must remenber to staty in power on must feed the masses and meet their actual aspirations. The oil must flow and workers must have real jobs for that to workout right.

#4 I see a healthy contempt for Muslims here. Unfortunately, US wide that attitude is held by less than 30%. Off topic but if any Muslim denies the "72 virgins" shahid incentive, read then this exposition of Muslim "heaven" by Rabbi Finestone (Los Angeles):

... are other delights as well, according to a Hadith in an authoritative collection called Sunan al-Tirmidhi, which would be on the shelves of any Muslim scholar. In my edition, published in Beirut, it can be found in a section called "The Book of Description of the Garden," chapter 23, titled "The least reward for the people of Heaven," Hadith number 2562. The Hadith reads literally as follows: "Sawda (Tirmidhis grandfather) reported that he heard from Abdullah, who received from Rishdin b. Sad, who in turn learned from Amr b. al-Harith, from Darraj, from Abul-Haytham, from Abu Said al-Khudri, who received it from the Apostle of God [Muhammad]: The least [reward] for the people of Heaven is 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome of pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as [wide as the distance] between al-Jaabiyya and Sana." That these 72 wives are virgin is confirmed by Quran (55:74) and commentaries on that verse. Al-Jaabiyya was a suburb of Damascus, according to the famous 14th century commentator, Ismail Ibn Kathir, so one personal jeweled dome would stretch the distance from Syria to Yemen, some 1,600 miles.

#5 Well, if you sleep with dogs (Iran), you get up with fleas. Where the hell do you think all this islamic fascism started and is funded from?

Of course the joke is that we buy at Walmart, which buys from China, which then buys its oil from Iran. Guess where our dollars go? BTW, I check the little "Made in ..." markings before I purchase. And yeah, I understand that some cheating on that does happen and will till our government panics [only after being exposed for being AWOL on the job] and gets around to hammering the importers and sellers for fraud.

#6 Now Taiwan needs to seize this beautiful opportunity to give the chicoms some real headaches. With 200,000 of their bad boys tied up with the hicks, there has never been a better time. By the way are we witnessing the "meltdown" in china? I have missed the curve on these things before, and just wonder if it is really starting to happen.

#7 The two generals also said China is being destabilized by enemy forces from the West. "Western hostile forces have never abandoned political plots to Westernize and divide our country," the generals said.

Great Britian, Israel, and the United States to blame again.

#8 Ignore the external factors, the Chinese do, and instead look at Chinese history to see how the government is interpreting events.

For example, their terrible overreaction to Falun Gong is because the movement reminds them of the "Son of Heaven" and his Tai-Peng Rebellion, perhaps the second bloodiest conflict in human history.

Other events remind their leaders of other parts of their history. The Tiananmen Square protests scared the heck out of them, because they imagined them to be the return of the Cultural Revolution's Red Guard, intent on destroying everything and mass slaughter.

Chaos erupting throughout the country in protests no doubt also has some horrifically bloody historical precedent. Only a Chinese historian could guess what the Chinese leadership imagine these protests to be.

The point is that "nothing is new in Confuscianism", so everything is just some element of the past, replayed with different characters.

#9 ' "Western hostile forces have never abandoned political plots to Westernize and divide our country," the generals said.' Yeah, its all part of a dastardly plot to raise your per capita income of $35K per year.

#10 Oops! Make that "to $35K per year."
