#1 Interesting. I watched a Food Channel show on the Caribbean island food, where they demonstrated how to make roti. Apparently the British Empire abolished slavery in the 1830's and replaced the Africans with cheap labor from India and China. The Chinese have infused quite a bit of money into the region, as well as tainted products, as there were several deaths from cough syrup and toothpaste with melamine or some such chemical contamination in Panama. Chinese anti-terror task forces wouldn't raise much suspicion, I'm guessing, and may be quite useful to the rest of us.

#2 Double edged sword - the Chicoms always seek to keep very close tabs and strings on their ex-pats. More than one mainland Chinese has been pressured into spying for the govt when s/he didn't really want to. FWIW

#3 WORLD MILITARY FORUM > CHINA'S SYSTEM OF REGIONAL ETHNIC AUTONOMY CANNOT BE SHAKEN.
e.g. TIBET. The Chin-perceived strengths and weaknesses of the PRC's national territorial and ethnic set-up.

OTOH, INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > LABOR UNREST SPREADS IN CHINA. Aproximately 150Milyuhn or so Chin from rural areas unable to find work or good pay in China's fast-growing, fast-industrializing major Cities???

#4 Danielle, if I recall correctly the Chinese toothpaste and cough medicine were made with a manufacturing(?) grade of glycerin, rather than food grade or medical grade. This made no sense to Mr. Wife, who commented at the time that high grade glycerin is quite inexpensive.

JosephM, I've read a number of articles recently about Chinese children of the sod, having gone to the cities for jobs and adventure, are now returning home because the jobs have gone, leaving them with nothing more than some manufacturing skills and a new approach to life.
