| #10 ION TOPIX > BRITISH EXPERT [IISS]: SOUTH KOREA FACING SERIOUS THREAT OF UNCONTROLLABLE MIGRATIONS FROM NORTH KOREAN COLLAPSE, GLOBAL WARMING, AND MUSLIM WORKERS [e.g. Pakistan]. It taint just the PHILIPPINES anymore. |

| #9 The Chinese aren't bothered by minor details like morality, nor are they impeded by an electorate. The job of the Communist Party in China is to bring the country a rising standard of living and some baubles to make the masses proud (Olympics, space walk). They're doing it. Until they fail at those tasks, no one in China will give a damn and the criticism from outsiders will have about as much effect as a snowflake on a granite wall. They'll have no problem being as ruthless and unscrupulous as they need to be to make sure they get what they want from Africa. Anyone, either in Africa or China, who complains too loudly about the issues Mr. Hitchens describes will simply disappear permanently. |

| #8 See CHINESE MIL FORUM Thread > INDIA MAY STILL BREAK APART IN THE END. Recent HINDU-CHRISTIAN troubles or violence are symptiomatic of a deeper, nearly hidden or covert, POTENT INDIAN SOCIO-CULTURAL MORASS WHICH THREATENS AND UNDERLIES THE EVERY NATIONHOOD OF INDIA ITSELF. Nutshell > IICC, India's Hindus and Muslims don't want to change or reform, while the Catholics, Christians, and other are not willing to wait anymore for changes to the Establishment-Cultural "status quo". THE NEWEST CONVERTS TO INDIA-SPECIFIC SECUL SOCIALISM ARE, IRONICALLY, LOYAL ADHERENTS OR BELIEVERS OF INDIA's MAJOR RELIGIONS, I.E. THE FAITHFUL AND SPIRITUAL, WHOM ARE WILLING TO RISK NATIONAL STRIFE FOR CHANGE. |

| #6 IIRC CNN > THE END OF CHEAP CHINA? China's continually dev business sectors desire to keep upgrading to evermore advanced sales and tech levels while at the same time being forced to realize that it may be necess to outsource [e.g. INDIA, AFRICA] in NEAR-TERM DUE TO RAPIDLY CHANGING CONDITIONS ESPEC CURR US FINANCIAL CRISIS + INTERNAT COMPETITION. SOME OF CHINA'S MAJOR COS. = FACTORIES MAY BE FORCED TO REDUX THEIR PERSONNEL BY 20-30% IN NEAR-TERM, WHILE AN AVERAGE OF ONLY 10% OF CHINA'S UNIV GRADUATES WITH ADVANCED TECHS DEGREES [approxi 5.0Milyuhn per year] ARE ABLE TO FIND WORK AFTER GRADUATION, AND INSTEAD MUST GO OVERSEAS = OUTSIDE OF CHINA TO FIND WORK. |

| #5 More of 'em, so it will take longer. The western press will ignore it. But it won't end well. Possibly because of the internal problems China will have once the full effects of this mortgage bailout start to be felt. The repercussions will be profound. |

| #2 Except, unlike their European predecessors, they don't need locals for labor---which is very bad news for the locals. |

| #1 It won't get the publicity it deserves Because, after all, how could publicizing this help the Democrats win? This is what the left would be talking about if they truly cared about the values they proclaim. Thanks for the post, Steve. This is an example of what Big Journalism can be, should be, but seldom is. |
