	I see they're closer to Okinawa rather than Japan or China. Does the US still have a base of operations at Okinawa? ____________

	Yes, the US still has a base in Okinawa -- which is part of Japan by the way.

	Just wondering how much more of this is occuring? China - EU Trade War? With the US slapping on a 31% import tax, what would happen if the EU followed suit? ____________

The herd will eventually lead over the edge of a cliff???

Time will tell though if your right or wrong....interesting times to come, what-what! Its not about selling goods at first its getting the raw materials fisrt. And I will say outright watch for China to start buying mineing and a big stake in minerals in both the US and the EU. They have tasted the big money and the power big money buys. In 10 years you can forget about China being a cheap labor force. ____________

In 10 years you can forget about China being a cheap labor force. Yes, China has already picked-up vast amounts of mining interest's in both Australia and Africa. Whether this works in China's favour remains to be seen as normal market forces should still dictate supply/demand prices. Can China corner the commodities markets, only if countries keep on importing their goods. If too many countries decided to ban Chinese imports or placed a very high tariff on them then this could sink China for it does not have a big enough home market to support it's economy if it's export markets collapsed. ____________ The Kite Fliers -------------------- Kite fliers: An imaginary club of solo members, those who don't yet belong to a formal team so "fly their own kites" - as the saying goes.

	Hidden inside this report shows China's leadership still have some worrying aspects... Forbidden Toilets of Beijing "The controversy made me chuckle and I mentioned to our government minder that I wanted to cover this storm in a toilet bowl. It was Mr Chen's job to ensure we did not break any reporting rules. He had been a cheerful, relaxed companion throughout our three-week journey, but now his face darkened. "I do not think that would be a good idea," he said gravely. I laughed, assuming he was just being a bit conservative. "No", he emphasised. "I really do not think that is a good idea." I said it would only take a couple of minutes. Just a bit of fun. Mr Chen vanished for a few moments. When he returned his manner was forbidding. "I am sorry Justin but I have to tell you cannot report this story at all." This was getting serious. Our Chinese fixer was visibly anxious and quietly warned me that if this went any further Mr Chen was likely to close down our production completely. I was learning an important lesson. China may be undergoing the most incredible economic transformation, but the Chinese Communist Party's instincts have not changed". ____________

	With China now entering a state of recession, I can see why they have expansion goals. Expansion of territory legal or not can be a means of beating back a recession ____________ Proud member of TSWB. End terrorism by building a school

	Ominious to say the least...... China's 1st carrier enters service "The vessel will "increase [China's] capacity to defend, develop its capacity to co-operate on the high seas in dealing with non-traditional security threats and will be effective in defending the interests of state sovereignty, security and development", it added" & just what they might be? ____________

	Thats just a stop gap untill the build a carrier that is equivalent to our Nimitz class. And they will. according to sea classic magazine they bought an old carrier from Austraila and have been studying other carriers form other nations. And they dont have to be nuclear either. Just having them cruise around the yellow sea will be enough. We aint seen nothing yet. I can see a possible pay back to Japan for what happend im WW2. ____________

	WWIII is more likely to start in the Middle east than anywhere else, and will probably involve Israel somewhere.
