Like father like son, his father the Great Leader was good at playing China against Russia and now the son, the Beloved Leader, is good at playing 'now we're dismantling; now we don't' with their nuclear plant. He must be either ill (as his name suggests) in the head or…

Chairman Mao's policy for China was "one-child", now Chairman Hu and Premier Wen's must be "no child" policy. Tempering with food, whether it for dogs or cats, is bad enough; with baby's formula? I think it's way out of the whack.

We shouldn't just blame China and its manufacturers for…

I hope the IOC got what it hope to achieve out of the games. It's the TV and the looks rather than the substance. People living in the West may find this appalling but for us in Asia it's not a surprise any more. Truth doesn't have that much currency…

Interesting to read all the comments. However, we have to ask ourselves 'Whose fault is it that China was given the Olympics knowing that it will not be able to live up to it promises?' To me, it's like asking a prostitute to be faithful by marrying her. Never in…

More like the surgeon declaring, "the operation is a success, but the patient died". For China and the officials at the International Olympic Committee, a success in terms of the amount of money they could make out of the game but at what cost? If money alone is the measure…

Like the Chinese official said, neither the IOC nor the world know China. The Olympic Games for China is merely a commercial transaction so too for the IOC. First of all we have to ask how much the IOC will gain from the Games. Sure, the Olympics and politics shouldn't…

Please do not think that the generals are ungrateful. The donors should have known that in hot weather like Burma, chocolate bars melt and they can't be pocketed. With all the natural resources like trees, gas, jade and all other wealth disappearing into their pockets how could they forgive the…

Whether they like it or not the people will always try to overthrow the military that hasn't got a shred of legitimacy nor the capability to good governance. The soldiers cannot and will not be made to follow their orders to shoot all the time. Nicolae Ceausescu and his powerful…

As Studs Terkel said, "Hope Dies Last", then the victims of Cyclone Nagris in Burma's delta region should at least have to hope that their long and agonising ordeal should be over soon. However, if the United Nations and Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon just bring 'message of hope' with no meaningful…

Why is that a senior official from the United Nations had to say,“I hope the senior general will see Secretary General Ban Ki-moon when he comes,”? Is is an indication or an expectation that the United Nations, as an international organisation, has neither power nor courage to confront recalcitrant regimes?…
