    On this anniversary of the May 4 movement protest 90 years ago, don't we all wish the Chinese government at the time bring out their tanks and mow down all the protesters ? That would make the Chinese economy to boom at least 60 years earlier.

    Seems Johnsmith is bitten by the "Chinese economy's boom" all time. But you can comfort yourself by the simple thought that, compared with Americans, Chinese are really pretty silly, not knowing how to drive their tanks only over foreigners, only in foreign soil, financed only by foreign credit of billions. Chinese are even stupider, failing to know a big bucks can be made from a war. Dmn, it will sure take another 30 years till Chinese can catch up with our Big Brother.

    Chinese government spokesman(?) claim that locking up the Mexicans is "legal". Of course it is legal. It is not right, not ethical, not moral, not scientific, not appropriate, not smart, not excusable, but legal. If not, it can be make legal in a jiffy.

    Any by the way, Mexico was paided 5 million dollars to have it people molested by China. Count yourself lucky, Mexico. Tens of millions of Chinese were killed during the 50's without a single cent of compensation.

    Johnsmith,
    Come on, be calm with it whether it's 'lock-up" or "illegal". Let me help make your day sensual!
