The character of the young Chinese protesters, they have the guts even to threat to some of the citizens of Czech, and the usage of their language- totally out of democratic rights and norms.What a big shame they have made on China during Xitler's visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715905534949307075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-22515142749264525832016-03-31T11:38:07.838+08:002016-03-31T11:38:07.838+08:00"On a positive note, the treaty on partnershi..."On a positive note, the treaty on partnership that was signed yesterday is a standard text that other EU countries signed with China, which means it does not contain any concessions on Taiwan or Tibet. Chinese side tried, the Czech government did not concede." I've been a fan of the Czech Republic for quite a while now. They had Václav Havel as president for a while and he strengthened relations with Taiwan quite a bit and make human rights an important part of foreign relations. He was a good guy.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11022381054458476229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-63027301938935809352016-03-30T23:58:54.627+08:002016-03-30T23:58:54.627+08:00Agree, it is very counter productive.

As I learned these days from a big news story in Turkey / Germany: It's called the "Streisand effect" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect<br /><br />A German TV-show aired a funny sketch about Mr. Erdogan. He got so upset that the German ambassador was ordered in and they wanted him to "delete" the clip.... <br /><br />Big news in Germany and as a result, the video has now over 1/2 million youtube hits. Thanks to the publicity, the TV show ("Extra 3") made Mr. Erdogan "Employee of the month"<br /><br />.... And that's how you make a Streisand effect!!!

Always shooting themselves in the foot. Will their leaders ever grow up? Probably not in our life time... As you alluded to Michael, they love to make a mountain (of nasty ants) out of a mohill.

And according to a dictionary, Terminus was the name of the deity who presided over boundaries in ancient Rome. The other two signs literally mean 'Long Rainbow Bridge' and 'New Long Rainbow Bridge'. Taken together, these pointers make me feel Huadong boundary is quite a special place.<br /><br /><br />Shauminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402384559721776739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-43654927319338764842016-03-30T13:59:17.273+08:002016-03-30T13:59:17.273+08:00The Red Guards returnThe Red Guards returnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
