@ China gives Putin a diplomatic boost
SHANGHAI (AP) — President Vladimir Putin met Tuesday with China's president in a diplomatic boost for the isolated Russian leader but the two sides had yet to agree on a widely anticipated multibillion-dollar natural gas sale.
Tony 5 minutes ago 0 0 When two communist super powers have a two day meeting, that includes countries like Iran and Syria, you think all their going to talk about is gas? These two countries will be the ones that will start WWIII, against the west (us) and all the freedom loving countries. We just caught China officials with their hands in our cookie jar (secret service website, among other high security areas) you think they were looking for current gas prices? I have this strange feeling of apprehension about this meeting, after the dream I had last night. That dream involved Chinese troops riding a roller coaster on the boardwalk. (weird..)

@ Anti-Hypocrisy 5 hours ago 0 4 The supposedly Anti-Chinese demonstrations in Vietnam blaming the shifting of the oil rig by China is not such a simple case. It appears that China is only a scape goat, and the demonstrators had hidden agenda. Who knows there are certain anti-Government NGOs who are trying to cause trouble to the Vietnamese government by exploiting the issues for their own benefits. As Steven rightly pointed out, of 351 plants damaged in one province, just 14 are mainland Chinese owned......The Vietnamese government should act swiftly to ensure law & order besides public security. Otherwise, it is Vietnam that will be the big loser in the long run.
@ CharlesK 4 hours ago 2 0 Chinese sympathizers should know that the Chinese PLA is currently getting into too many public disputes with its neighbors. Because there are so many different disputes--each with their own separate Chinese PLA arguments and all coming so closely bunched together--people stop believing PLA arguments. After awhile people stop listening to People's Liberation Army & Navy (PLAN) arguments. They know they're just a facade for PLAN ambitions.
What will happen will be a steady withdrawal of foreign capital from China as China changes from being a global friend to global enemy.
This is all unnecessary. But the Germans and the Japanese set the pattern early in the 20th century. They got rich fast peacefully and then spent their new found money on the latest weapons thinking that their military could secure them still more riches.
Instead their cities were destroyed.
They grew back.
Likely the thinking of China's leadership is that China can absorb the loss of several hundred million people and still spring back. Just like the Japanese and Germans did after WWII with heavy American help.
@ Do No Evil 12 hours ago 3 10 David Crosby CNN
You clearly have no grasp of this dispute or what is actually happening. This Chinese rig is within the 200-mile maritime boundary of Vietnam. The 200-mile boundary is the international recognized boundary for all nations. How do you think the United States would react if China started drilling an offshore rig 100 miles off the Texas coast without a lease or paying any royalties? Second, the islands in question that China claims give it the territorial right to drill in the area belonged to South Vietnam, but after the American army and navy withdrew from Vietnam and South Vietnam assumed its own defense China took advantage of its weakened condition and attacked the South Vietnamese navy defending them. Vietnam has never recognized the conquest of the islands. Third, the Chinese military has published plans that it intends to fight Vietnam in the near future to take over its energy rich offshore sites and fishing grounds. It is already basically a
low-level war. Vietnamese civilians recognize that and the Chinese civilians ignore it at their own peril.

@ SeanO 16 hours ago 0 1 The cards are now been played for WW3, Viet Nam, North Korea, and Iran on one side, Russia China and a few renegade nations on another side, Then its USA & NATO , A THREE SIDED WAR OF MASS DESTRUCTION. The only survivors will be 'MUTANTS". All three are on a "TOO BIG TO FAIL" Ego Trip,Trigger...
@ Leo 8 hours ago 5 11 If China can send 140 ships and air-crafts to guard the oil rig, they can send ships and airplanes to evacuate all Chinese from Vietnam.
My ancestors escape from China to avoid internal strife and poverty. We prosper in Vietnam now and some of us escaped from commie Vietnam in the early 1980's.
It's sad to see mainland China fell under communism and become ethics-less. It me one proud and happy when your country does well because you want your people to do well and respected.
It's shameful, disrespected, distrusted when Chinese do these shameful actions.
The mainland Chinese should learn to rise peacefully and ethically to restore trust and respect.

How China is taking over Africa

32 CONNECT 72 TWEET 1 LINKEDIN 2 COMMENTEMAILMOREYou've seen the headlines: China is taking over Africa, and the United States and Africa's former colonizers in Europe have lost sway.
Mostly, it's true. Throughout Angola, Ghana and the Congo, some of China's largest companies are building roads and railways. They're backed by Chinese banks, and they'll pay off their loans in kind through mining and oil deals. All the while, small-scale Chinese entrepreneurs are moving to Africa, opening pharmacies, trading furniture or buying land to farm, much as earlier generations did in Southeast Asia and North America. African governments are welcoming them with open arms, and for the most part, so are Africans themselves.
Earlier literature on China's rise in Africa pushed us past the easy — and flawed — paradigm of China as Africa's latest "colonizer." But in his forthcoming book, China's Second Continent, Howard French argues the Chinese who migrate to Africa do so as individuals motivated by simple, familiar dreams of opportunity.
A former China bureau chief for The New York Times and veteran Africa correspondent, French traveled the African continent, speaking Mandarin with Chinese men and women who had grown weary of the daily grind in their homeland. The characters French encounters are risk-takers: sometimes foulmouthed, often lucky and universally ambitious.
This interview has been condensed and edited.
OZY: What has lured a million Chinese people to Africa?
French: Many Chinese people came here in the first wave because they were part of a work crew that built a big project somewhere. They typically came with absolutely no idea of what they were going to find on the ground, what Africa would be like. Some people that thought this place would be horrible, [with] hostile people or dangerous animals and diseases, find out it is also fairly pleasant: "I feel comfortable navigating in this society. And most importantly, everywhere I look, there are opportunities to make money." They come and see opportunity everywhere they look.
This is the beginning of … the creation of a massive diaspora of a trading and investment class of people of Chinese extraction.

OZY: What's the incentive for China?
French: Today, the opportunism is a capitalist opportunism. It's China looking out at the world, I think very astutely, starting 10, 12, maybe 15 years ago, saying: We have the possibility of having powerful companies that can compete on the big stage with the best of the rest. The West [isn't] engaged in any terribly dynamic or interested way in Africa, economically speaking, and therefore this is an opportunity for us to come in and allow our companies to expand, to build international expertise, to build markets, etc.
OZY: Why do you focus on the individuals?
French: This is the beginning of a historically important phenomenon: The creation of a massive diaspora of a trading and investment class of people of Chinese extraction. If you think about the economic history of the world in the last 500 years, big trading and investment diasporas — wherever they may be from — tend to have a huge impact on the subsequent political-socioeconomic [climate] of their destination countries.
Big projects completed by big, government-owned companies dominate the headlines about the advancing Chinese agenda in Africa. But history teaches us that very often reality is more meaningfully shaped by the deeds of countless smaller actors, most of them for all intents and purposes anonymous. – Excerpt from China's Second Continent
OZY: Is there something different about the Chinese people who decide to come?
French: They come from very ordinary places in China, where cosmopolitanism is not their experience. To get out to Africa — which is psychologically as remote a place as you can get — means almost by definition you're already dealing with a very special group of people.
These Chinese people, whether or not they knew what they were getting into (and usually they didn't), had a very special kind of pluck about them, a very special willingness to get out of the mainstream of their own society and to search and explore the world, to take some risks.
OZY: So they come to Africa to escape something back at home?
French: We have this image of China getting rich, the number of billionaires. China is in fact a really tough place for most Chinese people. So it's not such a stretch to imagine why 1 percent or 3 percent of the people of that country would say, "Hey, there's got to be some better way. There's got to be some place where things aren't so tough or where there's more readily available opportunity for me."
Time and again, Chinese told me they did not fully realize how oppressive things were at home until after they had left. Living in Africa, they said, it felt as if a lid had been removed from a giant pressure cooker. Now, they could breathe. – Excerpt from China's Second Continent
OZY: Is it true that the Chinese take an apolitical approach to the continent?
French: Apolitical in the sense that they don't project a system of values onto the country that they're dealing with. They are very political in terms of reading the scene in each country they go into… .The Chinese are interested in catching up with the West, which has an incredible legacy of investment in the continent.
OZY: Is this just temporary? Are Chinese just here to get rich and go home? Or are they truly immigrants, wishing to stay?
French: None of the Chinese I met while reporting this book said to me, "I plan to go home in three years," or whenever. The main thing for them is: "I've got to make this thing work." They don't want to go back to China, having spent three years or eight years or 15 years in Africa, and not having anything appreciable to show for it.

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Two Chinese passenger ships arrived at a Vietnamese port Monday to evacuate Chinese workers following deadly rioting last week, officials said, a dramatic maneuver from Beijing that intensifies pressure on Hanoi as the two countries jostle over disputed territory in the South China Sea.
The boats with a capacity to carry 1,000 passengers arrived at Vung Ang port early Monday morning but didn't immediately dock, said Thai Tran Linh, a government official in Ha Tinh. He said officials were still examining the paperwork of the ships, which left China's Hainan Island on Sunday.
Vung Ang port is part of a large, under-construction Taiwanese steel mill complex 350 kilometers (217 miles) south of Hanoi that was overrun by an anti-China mob last week. Two Chinese workers were killed and 140 injured in the attack, which
also left parts of the facility on fire. Linh said around 3,000 Chinese workers were employed constructing the complex.
There has been no violence or protests since last Thursday, and Chinese people have been able to leave the country independently with no impediments since then.
The nationwide unrest, the worst to hit in Vietnam years, followed Beijing's deployment of a large oil rig in a patch of the South China Sea also claimed by Vietnam. Both nations have sent ships to the waters that are now locked in a tense standoff, raising fears of a possible conflict.
While noting that countries are obligated to help their citizens, Jonathan London, a Vietnam expert at Hong Kong's City University, said sending ships "broadcasts to the world a sense that China is a victim, creates an image of a destabilized Vietnam (and) sends ominous signals and veiled threats of punitive action."
"This maneuver might be perceived as indicating that (Chinese President Xi Jinping) is more interested in deepening rather than alleviating the prevailing sense of crisis which, if true, does not bode well for those hoping for de-escalation and newly-imaginative attempts at conflict resolution," he wrote in an email.
Around 400 other factories around the country were damaged or destroyed in mob violence, most in industrial parks close to southern Ho Chi Minh City. Many factories were not Chinese-run but Taiwanese or from elsewhere in Asia, apparently targeted mistakenly or by gangs intent on looting.
Vietnam's government, furious at China's positioning of the rig, initially allowed street protests, a rarity in the authoritarian country. But since the rioting they have cracked down, aware that the violence threatened the country's reputation as a safe and cheap destination for foreign manufacturers to establish.

China gives Putin a diplomatic boost
By LOUISE WATT
SHANGHAI (AP) — President Vladimir Putin met Tuesday with China's president in a diplomatic boost for the isolated Russian leader but the two sides had yet to agree on a widely anticipated multibillion-dollar natural gas sale.
Putin, shunned by the West over Ukraine, met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a start of a two-day meeting on Asian security with leaders from Iran and Central Asia. The Russian leader is hoping to extend his country's dealings with Asia and diversify markets for its gas, which now goes mostly to Europe.
Russia has been negotiating for more than a decade on a proposed 30-year deal to supply gas to China. Officials said they hoped to complete work in time to sign a contract while Putin is in Shanghai. But Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said Tuesday it wasn't finalized.
"Significant progress has been reached on gas, but there are issues that need to be finalized regarding the price," Peskov said, according to Russian news agencies. He said a contract could be signed "at any moment."
A deal would give Moscow an economic and political boost at a time of Western sanctions, while pressure on Moscow is thought to give Beijing leverage to push for a lower price.
The U.S. treasury secretary, Jacob Lew, appealed to China during a visit last week to avoid taking steps that might offset sanctions. However, American officials have acknowledged China's pressing need for energy.
In a joint statement, Putin and Xi urged Ukrainians to start "broad nationwide talks" on ending their country's crisis. Russia has been pressing for such talks and they are an element of a peace plan proposed by European mediators. The Ukrainian government has refused to invite separatist rebels in the country's east to participate.
The statement appealed for global rules to limit use of computer technology to hurt state sovereignty, a reference to efforts to curb the spread of online opposition to authoritarian governments. Beijing tries to block material that criticizes one-party rule, while Moscow has tightened controls. An official said last week Russia might block access to Twitter.
Putin and Xi attended the signing of 49 cooperation deals in fields including energy, transport and infrastructure, but no details were given at the ceremony.
The price of gas is the sticking point in the proposed agreement between Russia's government-controlled Gazprom and state-owned China National Petroleum Corp.
A deal looked more likely after Washington and the European Union imposed asset freezes and visa bans on dozens of Russian officials and several companies.
The deal to pipe Siberian gas to China's northeast would help Russia diversify export routes away from Europe. It would help to ease Chinese gas shortages and heavy reliance on coal.
Putin told Chinese reporters ahead of his visit that China-Russia cooperation had reached an all-time high.
"China is our reliable friend. To expand cooperation with China is undoubtedly Russia's diplomatic priority," Putin said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
Xi and Putin were scheduled to kick off a joint exercise between their two navies in the northern part of the East China Sea.
The two countries developed a strategic partnership after the 1991 Soviet collapse, including close political, economic and military ties in a shared aspiration to counter U.S. influence, especially in Central Asia.
A tentative agreement signed in March 2013 calls for Gazprom to deliver 38 billion cubic meters of gas per year beginning in 2018, with an option to increase that to 60 billion cubic meters.
Plans call for building a pipeline to link China's northeast to a line that carries gas from western Siberia to the Pacific port of Vladivostok.
A gas deal would mean China would be in a "de facto alliance with Russia," said Vasily Kashin, a China expert at the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow.
In exchange, Moscow might lift restrictions on Chinese investment in Russia and on exports of military technology, Kashin said in an email.
"In the more distant future, full military alliance cannot be excluded," Kashin said.
"It will, however, take years for China to start playing in the Russian economy a role comparable to that of the EU," he said. "After that happens, both China and Russia will be much less vulnerable to any potential Western pressure and that, of course, will affect the foreign policy of both these countries."
In a joint statement after their talks, Putin and Xi said the two sides voiced serious concerns over the political crisis in Ukraine, and urged Ukrainian regions, people and political groups to start "broad nationwide talks," according to Russian state news agency ITAR-Tass. Their statement also said that any external attempts to forcibly interfere in Syria would be unacceptable.

repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
