Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).
This year is Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th birthday.

I, for one, will boycott French goods!
I will,absolutely!
I will boycott chinese retaurants and stores in paris
French have always been hypocrites. They recently stabbed their US friends before the Iraq war.
Chninese nationalists and americans neocons hand in hand : Beurk
Poor Carrefour. They didn’t survive in the Czech Republic among the competition even though there were no protests. And in China, they will have to face protests. If I were a CEO, I would sell the company tonight.
I’m glad someone brought up the fact that these snotty French are backstabbers. How else did you think we beat them over and over (Waterloo, you name it), and they never seem to learn. I’m glad they are the ones who got kicked in the bollocks over this protest after trying to copy what we did in London.
there are lot of alternative products in the market… Chinese do not need to purchase French products only
i wills support it!!! i already returned two of my LV bags to eluxury.
I will boycott all the product of China but it’s not difficult, they’re so bad quality!!! They’re not like the french products…
as a chinese , I like my country. We just let the world know that China is not a kind of country like someone who is rude and hypocrites. we have the power,but we never use the power to hurt anyone else,Is China too kind to be hurt? should we stand up?
Tell that to Tibet and Eastern Turkestan who have been “hurt” by Chinese power for 50 and 70 years respectively
