When you go to Thailand for medical treatment you might want to check out its plastic surgery services. I am just reminded of Prince Phillip's slitty eyes gaffe and the possibility that you and Whale might want to start conforming physically and emotionally to Chinese control. Hong Kong was just the beginning.[/QUOTE] You mean returning Hong Kong to its original owners, I see, what a travesty Just what we expect from Americans led by Trump, no knowledge or interest in anything outside the good old USA. It was returned because the 99 year lease ended, no military takeover China lost Hong Kong to Great Britain in the Opium Wars, and later leased adjacent territories to the British under duress. Britain's reign over Hong Kong dates back to the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, which ended the First Opium War. In 1898, the British and Chinese governments signed the Second Convention of Peking, which included a 99-year lease agreement for the islands surrounding Hong Kong, called the "New Territories." The lease awarded control of more than 200 surrounding small islands to the British. In return, China got a promise that the islands would be returned to it after 99 years. |

Some of those figures look dubious to me though- 1 in 8 American kids die before the age of 5.

Why have they waited till now and why, now that they are the richest country on the planet again? [/QUOTE] I didn't say anything about military force. China exerts power and influence in other subtle ways. Whale is pleased, I know. [/QUOTE]Well I did eat Chinese take away last night, i never eat American, is there such a thing ? |

Get well soon ! Those most desperately poor countries are nearly all in west equatorial Africa, one wonders how that situation came about. |

Donald J. Trump
✔
@realDonaldTrump
Reason I canceled my trip to London is that I am not a big fan of the Obama Administration having sold perhaps the best located and finest embassy in London for “peanuts,” only to build a new one in an off location for 1.2 billion dollars. Bad deal. Wanted me to cut ribbon-NO! What a freakin' ignoramus. http://www.foxnews.com/world/2018/01/12/ap-fact-check-trump-claims-london-embassy-is-bad-deal.html |

Yes but you dont care about Chinese economic power, remember? You applaud and support this isolationist bloke who wants to withdraw America from the rest of the world. What does it matter what China does outside white fortress America?

I don't care. True. All we want is fair trade. China is your neighbor. News reports in states indicate Hong Kong population not particularly pleased with Chinese rule. What about Tibet? Actually Chinese military has entered that country according to DIA. Military building islands in China Sea? Is this your head in the sand naivety on display? |

Hey Shammy, put 3 Chinese carrier groups(if they had them) and 100,000 troops in and around the Gulf of Mexico, and I reckon America would be doing more than just building islands
While the US thinks Sth Korea and Japan are their 51st and 52nd states things will always be ''unusual'' there

The way that Trump is always trying to denigrate Obama you would swear that Obama had screwed Trump's wife. But screwing other men's wives is not something Obama does so I'm at a bit of a loss to explain it.
