I agree the article has a "beware the yellow menace!" feel to it.
Most of the article would be just as factual if "USA" was substituted for "China". I mean, was US financial system transparent? Was there not a large amount of "illusion" in the last decade's fake boom?
Other examples: Corrupt leadership, stilted Press, massive pollution issues, massive social issues (riots etc.), degraded infrastructure and out-of-control military.
We would be wise to keep an eye on things: They owe nothing to the West and the dishonesty of the US in these times will surely haunt us when China (rightly) calls its financial debts in the future.
Remember that the US has been using it's military as an economic instrument for the last 60 years, is it so unreasonable to expect others to learn from this and emulate it?
I believe this is why Neo-Cons in the US are quite rightly scared of China: they know they have been dishonorable when in control, and they fear the justified reprisal when they lose primacy. After all, it is what *they* would do!
I reckon there are forces for good and bad in China, just like here and everywhere else.

Goku.
An armys march is extremely significant.
It speaks about the real heart of the government of the army.

The fact that the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army does the GOOSE-STEP shows that the PLA 'co-incides' in its heart with the Nazi's.

If you want to remember WW2 and what the Nazi's did and how the Nazi's behaved I can recommend "The World At War" (tv series) narrated by Sir Lawrence Olivier. Video shops might have a copy.

I see it in no ones interest that China have a huge aggressive army.

COME ON WORLD!

Who threatens China?

Theres no threat from the USA or Britain and Russia and China are mostly friends behind those closed doors.
They drink the same tea...and they make the same plans to over-throw the West.

China builds for the great march across asia and sweeps many similar dark nations into her future giant army through the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation...see The Kings Of The East.

There are many revelations to the christians from God about China. Some say she plots against the USA.
Some say she plans to ravage Australia (Id believe it since she calls us both New China and new South China).

I read a solid christian prophecy from The Lord a few years ago where HE refered to China as "the Great Deceiver".
Thats good enough for me at any time.

I would just like to repeat that.
GOD CALLS CHINA "THE GREAT DECEIVER".

We need to pray for Australia and bigtime... if we want to survive good old China.

Come out from behind the barricades and tell us how and why China would want to invade Australia, given the huge logistical difficulties with such an enterprise. What use is an old desert to the Chinese regime, there are much more attractive prospects closer to home.

Hi Mac

Ive just updated my blog at
http://whatwillbecomeofaustraliajackburrell.blogspot.com/
It has some interesting info.
Ive been working on ther invader since 1989.

Why would China want to invade our corner of the globe?

I can think of a few reasons.

1. she wants to to pay back the Anglo-Saxon folk for the Opium Wars and for the pressure for a port from the English so the English could do business in the orient...i.e. Hong Kong (possibly lots of bitterness and loss of face in these events).

*One Chinese guy who lived in China I spoke to on a newspaper website in Scotland said never again would China carry the shame that the Brits put on her with the Opium Wars. They havent forgotten what the Brits did. Isnt that amazing?,

2. she wants Australias mineral wealth,

3. she wants our women as brides for her boys (the One Child policy saw that many girl babies were drowned because the common people could now only have one child...and most wanted a boy to carry on family traditions and to have the boy look after them in their old age)

4. she needs a place to spread out and grow. Shes running out of land and we've got heaps. They would turn the deserts into vegetable gardens using white Aussie labour. The Three Gorges Dam shows they can do incredible things with human hands.

5. Some other government stirs her up and she moves out on the great march in anger.
Christians are expecting a great world leader soon far worse than Mr. Hitler...the man we call the Beast (Revelation 13:16-18/14:9-11).

Whatever happens... its best we be ready and not apathetic sitting and snoozing under the US nuclear umbrella.

America may not come to our aid in those days if shes otherwise pre-occupied?

Wow,

Here I was thinking that evil is determined by what people do and how they think and it's all been down to HOW THEY MARCH all along!

I guess that leaves most of the other brutal regimes off the hook and keeps it nice and simple. With all the interbreeding, we can't rely on skin-colour any more.

Philosophically, what I would really like to have cleared up is this - "is dropping a bomb on a pregnant woman the same as performing an abortion and in what circumstances can it be justified?"

Gibo,
Until 1942, the American Pledge of Allegiance used to be taken with the arm outstretched and angled upward - just like the Nazi salute. (The Bellamy salute).

Is this significant?
