@bubles0nskye yeah your a chinky man. Dont expect the anglos to accept you because that will be the most foolish mistake you'll ever make.

[DavBlc7]

Next year Hu will retire and vice-president will likely to be elected President no doubt - looking like more hardline than Hu!

No doubt the new man will have plans for the future including Hong Kong!

@lukebccb And you seriously think that the PLA hasn't improved at all compared to the late 30s and early 40s?

[lukebccb]

I like the old PLA (then the Chinese Red Army) of the late 30s and early 40s when it was a dirty poor peasant army that was only concerned with not being killed by the japanese and the KMT and were rock hard mean soldiers.

Now the PLA is all about shiny medals and shiny clean uniforms and perfect formations.

Maintaining big armies that can be marched around to impress is such a waste of resources.
