Feb. 27, 1972-The Joint U.S.-China Communique | 1972年2月27日，中美联合公报

President Richard Nixon of the United States of America visited the People’s Republic of China at the invitation of Premier Chou En-lai of the People’s Republic of China from February 21 to February 28, 1972. Accompanying the President were Mrs. Nixon, U.S. Secretary of State William Rogers, Assistant to the President Dr. Henry Kissinger, and other American officials.

President Nixon met with Chairman Mao Tse-tung of the Communist Party of China on February 21. The two leaders had a serious and frank exchange of views on Sino-U.S. relations and world affairs.

During the visit, extensive, earnest and frank discussions were held between President Nixon and Premier Chou En-lai on the normalization of relations between the United States of America and the People’s Republic of China, as well as on other matters of interest to both sides. In addition, Secretary of State William Rogers and Foreign Minister Chi Peng-fei held talks in the same spirit.

President Nixon and his party visited Peking and viewed cultural, industrial and agricultural sites, and they also toured Hangchow and Shanghai where, continuing discussions with Chinese leaders, they viewed similar places of interest.

The leaders of the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America found it beneficial to have this opportunity, after so many years without contact, to present candidly to one another their views on a variety of issues. They reviewed the international situation in which important changes and great upheavals are taking place and expounded their respective positions and attitudes.

Think Again: Asia’s Rise

“Power Is Shifting from West to East.”

Not really. Dine on a steady diet of books like The New Asian Hemisphere: The Irresistible Shift of Global Power to the East or When China Rules the World, and it’s easy to think that the future belongs to Asia. As one prominent herald of the region’s rise put it, “We are entering a new era of world history: the end of Western domination and the arrival of the Asian century.”

Sustained, rapid economic growth since World War ii has undeniably boosted the region’s economic output and military capabilities. But it’s a gross exaggeration to say that Asia will emerge as the world’s predominant power player. At most, Asia’s rise will lead to the arrival of a multi-polar world, not another unipolar one.

Asia is nowhere near closing its economic and military gap with the West. The region produces roughly 30 percent of global economic output, but because of its huge population, its per capita gdp is only $5,800, compared with $48,000 in the United States. Asian countries are furiously upgrading their militaries, but their combined military spending in 2008 was still only a third that of the United States. Even at current torrid rates of growth, it will take the average Asian 77 years to reach the income of the average American. The Chinese need 47 years. For Indians, the figure is 123 years. And Asia’s combined military budget won’t equal that of the United States for 72 years.

一些关于中国，印度，巴基斯坦之间的军事对抗

关于印巴停火以及两国和谈协议，在1998开始的这种谈判下，巴基斯坦与印度双方都在暗地中积极准备大批军事力量，来作为双方的谈判附加值。

而此前，印度首批引进了俄罗斯产MIG29，SU27战斗机。在1996年两国发生的领空冲突中，印度方面的购进自法国的幻影2000－5型战斗机，在 巴基斯坦大多数领空，不断胁迫巴基斯坦的当时装备的所谓最先进的F-16A、歼7战斗机。这些早期型号战斗机不具备类似幻影2000那样的超视距攻击。而 巴基斯坦自身也没有能力来制造中程空对空导弹。

因此巴基斯坦在面对印度拥有的空军优势上的无奈显露无疑。在巴基斯坦首都上空，巴基斯坦 利用地面导航部队与空军结合才最终取得了对于19架进入其领空的印度幻影2000战斗机的胜利。巴基斯坦随后在97年在此象美国提出要求交还8架被扣留在 那里的F16 战斗机。但是华盛顿方面考虑到与印度的重要关系，因此华盛顿据绝了巴基斯坦的要求。

Deng Undone – The Costs of Halting Market Reform in China

The year 2008 marked the 30th anniversary of the beginning of market reforms in China — and perhaps the third anniversary of their ending. Since the present Chinese leadership took power, market-oriented liberalization has been minor. And as such policies have wound down, they have been supplanted by renewed state intervention: price controls, the reversal of privatization, the rollback of measures encouraging competition, and new barriers to investment.

Why would China, with a generation of successful market reform under its belt, move back toward state control? Because of politics run amok. When the administration of President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao assumed control seven years ago, they acted like any new Chinese regime: they moved to solidify their power through economic stimulus. Only they did not stop. Soon after they took office, lending by state banks and investment by local and national state entities soared. Helped temporarily by very loose global monetary conditions, the Chinese state did well by most economic standards. And success created a constituency in political and business circles that is obsessed with growth at the expense of all else. This growth today is explicitly led by the state, fueled by investment by state-owned entities, and accompanied by powerful regulatory steps meant to ensure the state’s dominance of the economy — all measures that contrast sharply with prior reforms.

Fuck the Human Rights Watch HWR and their pethtic guides to reports

Just read this news today.

It’s about a new guide published by the Human Rights Watch(HWR) for the journalists that will be or already on their way to Beijing to cover this coming olympic games.

Spend some time reading this so called Reporter’s Guide to Cover Beijing Olympics, made me think the HWR is really piece of work!

More and more, these international NGOs, AI, HWR, RWB are becoming increasingly aggressive towards China in recent years. I am really sick and tired of their useless bullshit! The so called human rights, freedom of speech, press freedom, democracy, what a load of crap! They think millions of Chinese living in hell, and need their rescuing.

These stupid bunch of morons, are just street dogs after their pethetic bones. Every time when they start pointing their fucking dirty finger at China, as though they have all the moral gounds to them, as though they are the only true and the right one, as though they are the only saver of this world.

But in fact, they are nothing but a bunch of useless white trash.

False translation, media distoration, manipulating news, making up fake stories, oh, that remind me, they are just like CNN.

Anyways, coming back to this reporter’s guide, I have read it through, the only part that actually provide guidence information for reporters is from page 39 – 43. The rest are just plain political government propaganda.

Ignore and minimise any improvements and efforts that China has put in to improve human rights, and maxmise any negative story that China had to show how evil that country is and how deseparate the people must be. These are the typical tricks these NGOs use.

What else can I say, f*** them.

HWR you are a disgrace of this planet, dick!
