France will pay for it’s behavior
China will pay for it’s behavior.
China try to use force against Europe when:
- Europe is China’s first client
- China’s factory are closing one after another as foreign demand dicrease…
So two possibilities:
- Chinese leaders are stupid and think force and intimidation can work with the World like it works in Asia (this is the kind of language used toward Taiwan, Japan…)
- Chinese leaders are stupid and think that using nationalism thematic will save them for giving explanation to the people…
Totally agree with Ray.
China is acting like a litlle whining kid and chinese leader have zero credibility in Europe.
France made a big mistake. THE Frech leader is really a idiot. The bilateral relationship between China and EU is much more important than that of EU and government in exile.In the environment of global crisis , the great emphasis should be laid on the union of great powers. China maybe decide to cancel contracts of billions dollars with EU, is the meeting with Dalai Lama really worth it?
China is making a great mistake when it protests,threatens countries for listening to and honouring Dalai Lama who is the greatest and loftiest world Spiritual Man who hates none and teaches and practices compassion.Ultimately he will win even the Chinese people who will round from Godlessness to their original Buddhist faith.EU will do better to boycot the mass produced cheap but poor quality goods from China and shift theit patronage to other developing countries like India.When Chinese factories start closing down one by one then the Chinese people will start agitating for democracy as happened on Russia .
Sarkozy bastard is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo stupid that words can not describe him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on, is it worth it at this moment to talk to an exiled terrorist leader. Try talking to Bin Ladin, and see what happens to France tomorrow. Bush will send out his troops like he did to Iraq!
China is nice, all she did was just canceling the EU summit meeting. So please use your stupid brains and STOP complaining about China.
Knights: “China is nice, all she did was just canceling the EU summit meeting.”
The Dalai Lama story is not the real reason. China has nothing to propose to Europe (its first client) when the crisis slowly starts and Europe is thinking about quotas…
It’s funny though how China supporters act exactly like China, using violent language, insults, … “zhong gua de gua…”
It is no longer the time to separate countries by ideology, but the benefits instead. The countries of EU united in the hope of being a greater entity to challenge U.S.Does EU really believe it can make it alone? Presently,U.S. is in very good relation with its strategy partner China.Just think about the China-U.S. economic talk held recently and the China-EU summit put off.Apparently, EU would benefit nothing from a closer China-U.S. relationship. EU needs China to achieve its goal, so EU should create a favourable enviroment for the the long anticipated China-EU summit which certainly will bring deals of trillions needed to boost the economy in recession before China decide to transfer the deal of 160 airplanes from Airbus to Boeing. Consider about it thoroughly. The french leader should not be so childish.
china fill that there great.china is not nice.EU soposed to punish china
Is dalai lama peace loving or a terrorist converted separatist?
Dalai lama used terror warfare before the 1970s. Here is some US money that supported him in 1964:
“The cost of the Tibetan Program for FY 1964 can be summarized in approximate figures as follows:
a. Support of 2100 Tibetan guerrillas based in Nepal–$ 500,000
b. Subsidy to the Dalai Lama–$ 180,000
c. [1 line of source text not declassified] (equipment, transportation, installation, and operator training costs)–$ 225,000
d. Expenses of covert training site in Colorado–$ 400,000
e. Tibet Houses in New York, Geneva, and [less than 1 line of source text not declassified] ( 1/2 year )–$ 75,000
f. Black air transportation of Tibetan trainees from Colorado to India–$ 185,000
g. Miscellaneous (operating expenses of [less than 1 line of source text not declassified] equipment and supplies to reconnaissance teams, caching program, air resupply–not overflights, preparation stages for agent network in Tibet, agent salaries, etc.)–$ 125,000
h. Educational program for 20 selected junior Tibetan officers– $ 45,000
Total–$ 1,735,000
4. Coordination–This Tibetan operational program has been coordinated with the Department of State for a number of years. Specific operational activity has been coordinated with the Department of Defense and the [less than 1 line of source text not declassified] as necessary.
5. Recommendations–Barring sudden developments inside Communist China and Tibet, expenses for this long-range, politically-oriented Tibet program are not expected to exceed this amount in the foreseeable future. In fact, there are a number of probable economics, [1-1/2 lines of source text not declassified] for example. Nonetheless, this program will continue to require fairly large expenditures over a long period of time to keep the possibility of a non-Communist government alive to the Tibetan people. We recommend continuance of this program.”
Only after the normalization of Sino-US relations in mid 1970s did Dalai stop this guerrilla warfare. But he never stopped instigating hatred toward Chinese people by the foreigners. The March riots was a result of his action.
France arrested Spanish separatists but greet this fake monk with romantic reception. China is right to give Sarko the finger.
Hey Ray, at least China is in good relation with Russia, North America, and so on so forth. That leaves EU a loner. hahahhaha!
SarKrazy dumped his first wife after he’s done with her, and he went for a younger juicier woman! I am sure he has his own values as he claimed!
USA and China share one similarity
USA have Bin Laden
China has DaLIE
here is what distinguishes China from USA
Bin Laden was created by USA to fight SOviet Union
DaLIE was created by USA, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, and .. . .
Whether the boycott will work in fracturing the EU political line is too early to say right now. Pure speculation just makes you arm chair mouthpieces for whatever line you’re tolling.
sigh, china had informed and warned SarKrazy not to meet with Da Lai for a lot times, for this and that reasons, but, Skz didn’t,,,he didn’t keep a presient’s promise…
Knights you’re wrong
If you really believe that between Europe and china the US will choose china, you’re really naive.
Lalibagai is right, Europe do not need chinks good which are of bad quality (chinese milk anyone?)
For James : China has already switched from Boeing to Airbus, if now they switch from Airbus to Boeing because of the Dalai dispute, guess who’ll look childish ?
For Franck:
It’s really hard to tell which one US would pick between EU and China.However, currently , US needs China more. Just think about the China’s foreign exchange reserves of trillions.
Tainted milk was not only found in China, but also in other parts of the world such as in US.Next time when you complain about the quality of Chinese goods, do bear the price you paid in mind. We all have the confidence that the quality of China’s commodities are improving just like their quantity.
Who is childish? SarKrazy ,vowed not to attend the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony , actually went there . He met Dala ,despite his promise to Chinese government that he wouldn’t. In this global crisis, what’s his priority? He shouldn’t have done this ,least for his own sake of the help he got from China before he was elected.
At any rate, you have missed my point, that being that whilst Gordon Brown, John Howard, George Bush, Angela Merkel, Bertie Ahern, Manmohan Singh and the leaders of every major state (i.e., G7 or security council member - excepting Japan, China, and Russia) have met the Dalai Lama, the Chinese government chose to show its displeasure with the French president - by boycotting an EU meeting. This does not make sense.
For FOARP:
If you cannot catch on it, let me explain it to you. After so many leaders having met Dalai Lama,it is the very time for China to stop it. Sarkozy is not a qualifed politician,and unpopular in both Frech and China for quite a long time,etc. Therefor, Sarkozy was unfortunately chosen to be punished as a warning to other leaders. Many factors contributed to this. All in all, China needed an opportunity , then Sarkozy provided one.
The other leaders met DaLIE (the “chink” as Franck puts it. DaLie does not accept that he’s got chinky eyes.) Eventhough he’s called a “chink” numerous times, he still thinks the west is his friend, pathetic!
Anyhow, why does China pick on France when other leaders have also met DaLIE?
That’s because SoKrazy the Schidzo authorized 3000 policemen to let one terrorist terrorize the handicap girl. That’s why we call him schidzo, he says he supports human rights, but his action shows that he is NOT.
Oh yes the jinjin story.
The man who attacked this girl is a tibetan thus a chinese, and those in charge of the security of the flame in Paris were chinese (the men in blue).
So who is to blame for this story ? : THE CHINESE.
end of story.
So you finally agree that the tibetan is indeed “Chinese”, then why you keep on supporting separatists?!
If not for the men in blue which were outnumbered by those terrorists, we would have attended JinJIn’s funeral before the olympics
Did the terrorist who terrorized Jin JIn live in France, doesn’t that make him French even though you say he’s tibetan Chinese?!
No this man does not live in France and I don’t support separatists (actually I really don’t care about Tibet).
And I suggest you to create a new blog because the new zealand PM is going to meet the Dalai Lama.
So glad China is cancelling all the contracts with France ande EU. Chinese cheap goods are no longer going to those lazy DAs (Dumb Ass), they are going to save the Africans. This will cause huge inflation in France and EU and their economy will be screwed and all these DAs will be unemployed and have their homes foreclosed. HA HA HA.
Glad too that China is cancelling the contracts with EU especially Airbus.
This deal was planned to imply a technology transfert (something I suspect many nationalist chinese like han magic (lol) did not understood).
China will continue to build their tainted milk and other non essential cheap but low quality goods and will not be able to produce planes or nuclear plants. It’s a good thing.
For cheap goods, Europe can deal with other develloping countries.
Get the facts! Get the truth! Get reality!
Dalai Lama is a tool for western propaganda and Sarkozy is a Jewish/Catholic with NWO objectives in mind.
The Papalcy has a personal axe to grind because the PRC says they can’t exercise autocratic domination of their “cultist” religion in China.
Catholicism and NWO objectives go hand in hand folks and that my friends is not a battle that can be fought by trade barriers alone but only by education of the masses for purposes of realization.

Unfortunately, the blind will continue to lead the blind.
Check-out the Human Rights issues of the so called “developed nations” eg. USA
http://www.china-un.ch/eng/bjzl/t414512.htm
Check-out the appalling records of French & British atrocities in the nations they colonised and the injustices perpetrated against Aboriginal natives in Australia by British inspired “white supremetist” theologies and then when one can clean one’s own backyard, come and play the supreme master of the universe with the PRC and Tibetan issues if there are any real issues.
Every nation has work to do in their own backyards and multilateral reconciliative cleansing to undertake to compensate victims of their past atrocities without dictating to another nation on activities relating to “human rights” that have left the receivers in a better place than the former.
As the master said ” he who is without sin; let him cast the first stone”
There are NO DOUBTS that the Tibetans are MUCH better off since the Maoist intervention from the 1950’s.
It may have started as a stained revolutionary element fraught with problems and issues but has resulted in an open society with greater freedom and autonomy for all Tibetan subjects to know “truth” and find liberation for their souls and increased opportunities for the Chinese and International citizens to access World Heritage areas as well.
It has and will continue to change Tibetan society but so be it - world colonizers have changed the global face of humanity since time immemorial - nothing has changed there!
Wake up! There was and never will be a Tibetan “Shangri-La” - it is mythical and unattainable.
It also releases Tibetans to find truth and justice in International Interventionist objectives as proposed by a responsible world entity: the developing “Socialist Democracy” of the People’s Republic of China.
Through the SCO the member nations and the PRC seek to intervene and hold accountable the proposed USA led NWO domination of the masses.
Balance is good for the international community.
Happy New Year
