Chinese state humour
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Love this bit -  "  "China opposes unilateral actions and objects imposed solutions by pressure," Wang told an emergency session of the UN Security Council.
    "China maintains all along that the best way to resolve the issue of Kosovo status is for the two parties concerned to reach a mutually acceptable solution through negotiations. This should be the common goal of all the parties concerned," he said. "

Maybe China and Taiwan. or China and Tibet, could get together " to reach a mutually acceptable solution through negotiations." 

 
 
But wait... I now see that China has mentioned Taiwan  - "Taiwan has no right to "recognize" Kosovo's independence"

My mum taeches English in China. One day she asked her class in what country the worlds biggest mountain was. "China" they all replied. "Err no, it's in Nepal" she said. "That's right" they replied, "China."
 
They have a slightly different world view than the rest of us...

Professor He Bochuan wrote a book China on the Edge. It became a bestseller in China then the CCP banned it. Because it is "impermissible to concentrate all the negative aspects of Chinese society in a single book".  dairyflat2008-02-19 16:12:00

Dairyflat, China & human rights and China & respecting other countries are both in completely different universes.

"The leader of China and the leader of the United States are both driving down a street in their own cars. When suddenly they reach a fork in the road. The sign on the left lane says socialism, the sign on the right says capitalism. The leader of the United States, without hesitation, chooses the right lane leading to capitalism. The leader of China slows down a bit to think,"hmmmm... I'll also take the right lane, but I'm going to do it with my left signal on."
 
 
more seriously...
Chinese official spent the latter part last week seeking to recover from the public relations hit, urging the world to separate the games from political considerations.

"As the Darfur issue is neither an internal issue of China, nor is it caused by China, it is completely unreasonable, irresponsible and unfair for certain organizations and individuals to link the two as one," China's embassy in Washington said in response to press inquiries.
