| 2005-07-14 |
| China and Russia here Friday issued a joint statement on a new world order in the 21st century, setting forth their common stand on major international issues, such as UN reforms, globalization, North-South cooperation, and world economy and trade. Their views on UN reform are a hoot. The statement was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and visiting Chinese President Hu Jintao after their talks. "Splitters! Sign here..." During their talks, the two leaders discussed ways to further enhance the strategic and cooperative partnership between China and Russia, and exchanged views on major regional and international issues. Thus making all their neighbors extremely nervous. The joint statement said the two countries are determined to strengthen their strategic coordination in international affairs and promote peace, stability and prosperity of the world. KUMBYA!

| #2 But don't miss the whole point of this exercise found at the very end of the article.... "Different historic backgrounds, cultures, social and political systems, values and modes of development should not be used as pretext for interference in other countries' internal affairs, says the document.

| #1 I love how russia always tries to ride the coattails of china and pretend that they are still a world power. The russians are about as powerfull and influencial as Swaziland. China, on the other hand may well be our new competitor. I can easily see a new cold war with china, but china makes the classic communist mistake. Moving backward instead of forward on social, economic and political issues. It was this that destroyed russian (and a host of other) communism and it will destroy china. The chinese will do it for us. |
