DoorBert (OP) User ID: 857877 United States 09/17/2012 06:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Twenty-one months after China’s Chengdu aerospace firm unveiled its J-20 jet fighter prototype — Beijing’s first stealth warplane — the rival Shenyang company has revealed what appears to be a competing, radar-evading plane. Over the weekend photos of increasing resolution leaked online depicting a previously unknown, black-painted warplane with the distinctive qualities of a stealth design. Perhaps it’s only a coincidence that the stealth jet was revealed right before U.S. Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta was due to arrive in China. But the Beijing government is known to use these online leaks to show off its military advancements. So China now possesses two potentially combat-capable stealth jets. [link to www.wired.com] |

It's the only rhyme that I could think of that had the words Chinese and Japanese in it. PS. For those about to jump on me because they are not old enough to remember this being sung at primary school, I am not racist, I have many beautiful Chinese and Japanese girlfriends and male friends. There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness. Dalai Lama Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either. Albert Einstein The kingdom of God is within you and all around you. It is not within buildings of wood or stone. Split a piece of wood and you will find me. Look beneath a stone and I am there. Stigmata |

taniatarn User ID: 21658555 New Zealand 09/17/2012 06:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tokyo does not rule out that the Chinese may attempt to land on the Senkaku archipelago. Meanwhile, mass-scale anti-Japanese protests have been on in China for a week now. Hmm...so what will happen if they do land..? Will the Japanese try and stop them...? I find it highly unlikely that the Chinese will just sail past the Japanese and give them a friendly wave... Interested observer of all things interesting!

I hope to God the NK's don't see this as an opportunity to do something stupid - or more stupid. Is there some sort of weird galactic cloud shrouding the earth?! WTF is going on with this world? That was a rhetorical question - no answers please:( |

If a large number of Chinese vessels intrude into Japanese territorial waters around the Japanese-controlled islands in the East China Sea, it could trigger unexpected incidents such as clashes with Japan Coast Guard patrol ships, further escalating tensions between the two countries. |

I find it highly unlikely that the Chinese will just sail past the Japanese and give them a friendly wave... Yes, it's going to be especially humiliating that Chinese fishing boats are going to float past the Japanese while giving them the Finger and reclaim the island. That's exactly what the Chinese are saying to the Japanese. "Fuck you, we're sending out our unarmed fishermen to take the island from you BITCHEZ." |
