Perspicacious Chinese View of the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands Dispute

Posted by on Sep 19, 2012 in blog | 0 comments     This Chinese view seems pretty perspicacious to me. The factor it omits to mention is the American angle in the background. Every time over the past 20 years that either Japan (e.g. under the Hatoyama and Kan governments 2010) or S.Korea have made efforts to develop better relations with China, some fracas has suddenly developed to throw the development off track, and behind...

The China-Japan Dispute over the Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands

Posted by on Sep 19, 2012 in blog | 0 comments   I think a key in all this is the links between Governor of Tokyo Shintaro Ishihara and US rightwing circles.

SHINTARO ISHIHARA – A DANGEROUS INCENDIARY in the JAPAN-CHINA ISLANDS DISPUTE

Posted by on Sep 19, 2012 in blog | 0 comments     If we look back to March 2010 we see a much more hopeful scenario developing between Japan and China. Clearly, this was not perceived to be in the interests of rightwing forces in the Anglosphere (‘Anglo-sfear’)   So a certain question emerges, looking very similar to scaremongering arguments in the West over 100 years ago about whether Germany was trying to “drive a...

Chalabi II? ElBaradei II? Syria’s Bassma Kodmani and other “opposition activists”: CFR, BIlderberg assets

Posted by on Jul 18, 2012 in blog | 0 comments After Hilary Clinton’s aggressive and vicious comments the other day, when she reviled Russia and China and said they would “pay a price” for supporting the Assad regime in Syria, we see that those remarks appear to have been swifly followed by a suppsoed ‘massacre of civilians’ (Tremseh) and now (18th July) a suicide attack in downtown Damascus which kills...
