#1 The "Yellow Satan?" Could get interesting. Wonder if CCIR (CAIR, Han-Style) has a Bejing HQ yet....

#2 All this Chinese counter-terror work is done very quietly, and covertly.

...and I'll bet no leaks to The Beijing Times or The Shanghai Post either. That could be...unhealthy.

#3 Someone pass the popcorn.

Preferably w/o the water-logged cardboard, please.

#4 security arrangements for the 4,000 Chinese citizens working in Pakistan ... Currently, 7,000 Pakistani military and police personnel protect Chinese working inside Pakistan.

With an almost 2:1 ratio of security to workers you'd think each individual Chinese would have a personal escort.

I can't wait for the Taliban to put their collective tit in the Chinese wringer. The results should be hilarious. Plus, China really needs to feel the heat for how they continue to exacerbate tensions in the MME (Muslim Middle East) by supporting so many terrorist regimes.

#8 and i am willing to bet that not only are the Chinese results better ( more dead talibunnies) but they will not give a flying phuque about any human rights protests when the fluffy ducks, baby rabbits and civilians get fragged whilst hunting terrs......and i am also willing to bet that the cost per terr is a lot less than what we are paying. and quicker results.

Hokay, I'll bite. Howzabout:

USN, Ret., please permit me to add that we will also hear a deafening silence from the human rights watchdogs about any heavy-handedness by the Chinese.

#12 Of course, if we really got lucky, the Chinese would annex Pakistan like they did Tibet. Maybe we could make a deal with them - leave Taiwan alone and you can have Pakistan.

Not good enough, pal. All further Chinese expansionism must be discouraged in no uncertain terms. China's legacy will be identical to that of the Soviets and their satellite Iron Curtain nations. Namely, a profound retrograde influence upon all future progress and political freedom. Not that it could get much worse in Pakistan but the downside is just too big for any good to come of it.

#15 The major danger to Chinese in Pakistan is Islamic terrorists.

Isn't this true just about everywhere?

#16 I was being facetious, Zenster. But you have to admit it would be entertaining.
