"US, China head for strained relations, analysts say" by John Pomfret, Washington Post | January 4, 2010
The Washington Post, the CIA 's newspaper, so you can be sure this is the agenda for the new year.
WASHINGTON - The United States and China are headed for a rough patch in the early months of the new year as the White House appears set to sell a package of weapons to Taiwan and as President Obama plans to meet the Dalai Lama, US officials and analysts said.
Why would tensions escalate there?
"Taiwan's rapidly improving ties with longtime foe China are diminishing US influence"

U.S. Tempest in Taiwan
Oh, who is the INSTIGATING IRRITANT again?
The Obama administration is expected to approve the sale of several billion dollars in Black Hawk helicopters and antimissile batteries to Taiwan early this year, possibly accompanied by a plan gauging design and manufacturing capacity for diesel-powered submarines for the island, which China claims as its territory.
Yup, that is ALL WE MANUFACTURE NOW!!
But PEACE is OUR GOAL!!!
The president is also preparing to meet the spiritual leader of Tibet, who is considered a separatist by Beijing. Obama made headlines last year when the White House, in an effort to generate goodwill from China, declined to meet the Dalai Lama. The expected downturn with Beijing comes despite a concerted effort by the Obama administration for closer ties.
That is SUCH a DAMN LIE!!!
FLASHBACKS:
TAICHUNG, Taiwan - “Peaceful development between the two sides is the overwhelming trend. No one can stand in its way,’’ Chinese delegation leader Chen Yunlin said.
But I will bet the U.S. sure as hell will try!
Since taking office in May 2008, Harvard-educated President Ma Ying-jeou has eased tensions across the 100-mile-wide Taiwan Strait to their lowest level in 60 years, turning his back on predecessor Chen Shui-Bian’s pro-independence policies. The sides split amid civil war in 1949, and Beijing has made political unification with the island - achieved by force if necessary - the core of its Taiwan policy ever since....
So OUR GUY is BUCKING US for the interests of his own nation?
How refreshing!
And see the MSM subtly jab at China?
When was the LAST TIME CHINA INVADED ANYBODY?
1959?
Ma has pushed a raft of business-boosting initiatives, including regular air and sea links with the mainland and ending across-the-board restrictions on Chinese investment in Taiwan. He argues that a trade deal with China is necessary to prevent Taiwan’s economic marginalization amid growing commercial ties between Beijing and neighboring Asian countries. Washington strongly supports Ma’s approach.
That is the OFFICIAL POSITION of the government. I'm sure they do NOT LIKE closer relations in this case despite what the liars say.
Despite withdrawing its formal diplomatic recognition of China from the Taipei government and shifting it to Beijing in 1979, it remains the most important foreign partner of democratic Taiwan. However, it fears being drawn into any armed conflict that Beijing threatens in response to moves to formalize Taiwan’s de facto independence, and it sees Ma’s policies as strongly reducing that possibility....
Since WHEN has the U.S. and it's Zionist masters been AFRAID of WAR?!
Puh-leeze, MSM!
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the hotel in the central Taiwanese city of Taichung where the meetings were taking place, albeit far fewer than when Chen first visited Taiwan for talks last year. Scores of police officers guarded barricades to prevent a reoccurrence of the violence that marred that initial meeting....
Yeah, those are OUR OPERATIVES outside the hotel, America!!!
And here is why tensions over Taiwan must remain:
"Raytheon gets $1.1b Taiwan contract" by Bloomberg News | December 24, 2009
Raytheon Co., the world’s largest missile maker, has won contracts totaling $1.1 billion to produce the Patriot Air and Missile Defense System for Taiwan....
A BILLION DOLLARS for something that doesn't even work!
The US Defense Department in October 2008 proposed making $6.46 billion worth of weapons sales to Taiwan, including the most advanced Patriot antimissile system. Taiwan received $18.3 billion in US arms under the Foreign Military Sales program from 1950 to 2006. Raytheon had 2008 sales of about $23.2 billion.
They aren't hurting, huh, America?
--more--"Things starting to look a little clearer through the agenda-pushing WaPo bullshit?
Back to the s*** pile:
US officials have held more high-level meetings with their Chinese counterparts in the first year of this administration compared with the inaugural years of the four previous presidencies since relations were normalized with Beijing in 1979, records show.
“I think it’s going to be nasty,’’ said David Lampton, director of China studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. That said, he added, “the US and China need each other.’’
Yes, so there is NO NEED for the PROVOCATIONS, is there?
Unless you happen to be, say, Raytheon?
Still....
I am SO SICK of seeing those BAD WORDS in an AmeriKan "news report."
China recently backed a toughly worded statement on Iran by the International Atomic Energy Agency but continues to oppose enhanced sanctions, which the Obama administration has signaled it will pursue in 2010.
Yeah, it ALWAYS gets back to the ZIONIST AGENDA and the WARS with the AmeriKan MSM, doesn't it?

"China firm got nuclear parts for Iran; Transaction violates sanctions" by Debby Wu, Associated Press | January 9, 2010
TAIPEI - A Taiwanese company agreed to a request from a firm in China to procure sensitive components with nuclear uses, then shipped them to Iran, the firm’s head said yesterday. Such transactions violate UN sanctions imposed on the Middle Eastern nation.
The admission by Steven Lin of Hsinchu-based Heli-Ocean Technology Co. Ltd. comes amid an international effort led by the United States to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.
Good thing they are not building a bomb, huh, America?
Then again, if they were, who could blame them considering USrael's conduct these many years?
While Lin said he didn’t know whether the parts - a vital component in the production of weapons-grade uranium - were eventually used by Iran for military purposes, he acknowledged that they have nuclear applications.
Yup, more WE DON'T KNOWS presented as a "threat" in my war-promoting, enemy-creating Zionist War Daily!
UN sanctions to prevent Iran from expanding its uranium enrichment program have led it to the black market to obtain sophisticated nuclear-related equipment. Aided by these illegal purchases, the program has grown to the stage where thousands of centrifuges are churning out enriched material, which can be used both for fuel or as the fissile core of nuclear warheads.
Yup, churning them out at LOW LEVELS of ENRICHMENT for POWER, not bombs!!! Hey, you GET WHAT YOU NEED, right?
Iran insists that it wants to enrich uranium to generate nuclear power, but its attempts to evade probes by the International Atomic Energy Agency and its refusal to stop enrichment are increasing suspicions it actually seeks weapons capabilities.

Memo to the AP:
1. Last Spring, Rose Gottemoeller, an assistant secretary of state and Washington's chief nuclear arms negotiator, asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Israel refused.
2. The United Nations passed a resolution calling on Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
3. The IAEA asked Israel to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and to submit to inspections. Israel refused.
4. Iran's formal notification to the IAEA of the planned construction of the backup fuel-rod facility underscores that Iran is playing by the rules of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty which Iran has signed.
5. Iran allows IAEA inspections of all its facilities.
6. Contrary to face-saving claims, it appears that the US and Israel were both caught off guard by Iran's announcement. The reasoning is simple. Had the US or Israel announced the existence of he new facility before Iran's notified the IAEA, it would have put Iran on the defensive. As it is now, the US and Israel seem to be playing catch up, casting doubt on the veracity of Israel's claims to "know" that Iran is a nuclear threat.
7. The IAEA and all 16 United States Intelligence Agencies are unanimous in agreement that Iran is not building and does not possess nuclear weapons.
8. In 1986, Mordachai Vanunu blew the whistle and provided photographs showing Israel's clandestine nuclear weapons factory underneath the reactor at Dimona.
9. Israel made the same accusations against Iraq that it is making against Iran, leading up to Israel's bombing of the power station at Osirik. Following the invasion of 2003, international experts examined the ruins of the power station at Osirik and found no evidence of a clandestine weapons factory in the rubble.
10. The United Nations has just released the Goldstone Report, a scathing report which accuses Israel of 37 specific war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza earlier this year. Israel has denounced the report as "Anti-Semitic (even though Judge Goldstone is himself Jewish), and the United States will block the report from being referred to the War Crimes Tribunal at the Hague, thereby making the US Government an accessory after-the-fact.
We all need to be Joe Wilson right now. We need to stand up and scream, "LIAR!" at every politician and every talking media moron that is pushing this war in Iran. And we need to keep dong it until they get the message that we will not be deceived any more.
Israel wants to send your kids off to die in Iran, and YOU are the only one that can stop them.

Why are you HARASSING IRAN -- who ACTUALLY SIGNED the NPT Israel will NOT SIGN!?
In a telephone interview with the Associated Press, Lin said he received an Internet order from a Chinese firm in January or February 2008 to obtain an unspecified number of pressure transducers, which convert pressure into analog electrical signals. While pressure transducers have many commercial uses, they furnish the precise measurements needed in the production of weapons-grade uranium.
Translation: This is a NOTHING STORY! It is SHEER WAR PROPAGANDA!!
Nuclear proliferation specialist David Albright of the Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security said the existence of the Taiwanese-Chinese connection shows that Iran still has the ability to get what it needs by tapping alternative sources....
See: The Nuclear Expert Who Never Was
Lin did not identify the Chinese company that placed the transducer order, except to say that it was involved in the manufacture of pipeline for the oil industry. He said he obtained the transducers from a Swiss company, which he declined to name.
WTF? Not naming this, not naming that!

"China blames factory for lead poisoning" by Associated Press | January 6, 2010
BEIJING - Officials in eastern China have blamed a battery factory for causing lead poisoning in more than 50 children and have ordered the plant to relocate, state media reported late yesterday.
Similar reports of lead poisoning have emerged around the country since August, affecting more than 3,000 children and highlighting the heavy environmental cost of China’s rapid economic development....
And what is the cost of a military-industrial complex built on lies?
Hey, look, I'm not for the poisoning of kids (or anyone); however, I get sick of the Zionist AmeriKan MSM casting aspersion on others.
A total of 51 children were found to have lead poisoning, and Sun Jie, an information officer for Dafeng city, said health checks have started for all children living near the factory. Excessive amounts of lead in the body can harm the nervous and reproductive systems and cause high blood pressure and anemia.

"Clinton boosts chances of US presence at Shanghai Expo; Fund-raising effort has netted $54m for pavilion" by Mark Landler and David Barboza, New York Times | January 3, 2010
Oh, I can explain that.
See: The Washington Post Does Not Talk to the New York Times
WASHINGTON - This time, the cash-starved beneficiary was not her own campaign but the United States, which needed $61 million to finance the construction of a national pavilion at a world’s fair in Shanghai....
She turned to her well-established network of Clinton fund-raisers, and after negotiating with the State Department’s lawyers about what she could legally do herself to support the project, she mounted an ambitious fund-raising campaign that has netted nearly $54 million in barely nine months.
As America's economy goes down the dumper!!!!
With multimillion-dollar pledges from
Despite those restrictions, and a dismal economy, Clinton is closing in on her $61 million goal. She is clearly proud of the effort, which staved off what could have been a rupture in American-Chinese relations.
That's all it took with all the other issues?
Chinese seem a bit naive and easy to please (as well as sensitive), 'eh, America?
So says your racist, divisive, Zionist War Daily anyway.
In a year in which she has mostly worked to prove herself a loyal member of the Obama team, the campaign also showcases her enduring political drawing power....
I assume there will not be a women's rights booth?
By all accounts, the effort to build a national pavilion was near death at the end of the Bush administration. The near-collapse of the global economy, the proximity of the expo to the Beijing Olympics in 2008, and the general ambivalence of the State Department toward these events had left USA Pavilion, the nonprofit group in charge of the project, with little money.
“There is a sense in the US that Americans got disenchanted’’ with world’s fairs, said Nick Winslow, a former Warner Bros. theme park executive who is the president of USA Pavilion.
With deadlines passing, the Chinese advanced the Americans money to conduct technical work for the pavilion. They raised the issue with former president Jimmy Carter when he visited China last January, pressing him to get a message to President Obama. Enter Clinton, who made her first trip as secretary of state to Beijing in February and was eager to talk about trade, climate change, and the North Korean nuclear threat. Instead, she got an earful about how bad it would be if the United States did not have a presence at the expo.
Also see: Clinton's Asian Excursion
I didn't see that reported at the time, NYT.
For the Chinese, the expo is a bookend to the Olympics. Shanghai is spending $45 billion to transform the city, even more than Beijing spent preparing for the games. Nearly 200 countries have signed on to take part, leaving only the United States and Andorra as potential no-shows.
Then we BETTER GO!! That would be a COLOSSAL INSULT to the Chinese!
“I was dumbfounded that so little attention had been paid to it,’’ Clinton said. “Everyone knows China is going to be an enormously powerful player in the 21st century. They have an expo, which is a kind of rite of passage that countries like to do to show they have arrived. We’re not there? What does that say? I mean, it would have been a terrible message.’’

Fred Wertheimer, a political fund-raising specialist, said he was satisfied that a difficult situation was handled properly.
“This appears to be an effort by the State Department to deal with a complicated diplomatic problem rather than some kind of inappropriate conduct,’’ he said. “It would have been far better if the US government was able to pay for the activity involved, but that does not appear to have been the case.’’
Why should OVERBURDENED and TAPPED OUT U.S TAXPAYERS pay for this?

"Barred Indonesian tycoon makes his way back into US; Ties to Clinton scandal had kept him from visiting" by Andrew Higgins, Washington Post | January 10, 2010
JAKARTA, Indonesia - In March 2004, James Riady, an Indonesian tycoon and devout Christian, received an honorary doctorate from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas. The university - which has a scholarship program funded by the Indonesian - didn’t announce the honor.
Nor did Riady pick up the degree in person: He’d been barred from America after pleading guilty in 2001 to a “conspiracy to defraud the United States’’ through illegal contributions to the campaigns of Bill Clinton and other Democrats. Last year, however, he finally made it to Arkansas, during the first of two previously unreported trips he made in 2009 to the United States. He was allowed in only after receiving a waiver from a rule forbidding entry to foreigners guilty of “a crime involving moral turpitude.’’
Oh, ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?
Riady’s return poses a prickly question for Hillary Rodham Clinton’s State Department: How and why did a foreign billionaire stained by Clinton-era scandals get a visa after being kept out under the Bush administration?
Here's a clue: $$$$$$
And let's GRIND that WAR AXE again!!
The ethnic Chinese magnate’s ties to the Clintons have been a source of controversy since the late 1990s, when Riady became embroiled in one of the murkiest episodes of the Clinton presidency: a campaign fund-raising scandal that caused a ruckus in Washington amid Republican Party allegations, never proven, of meddling by China’s intelligence services in US politics....
There was a LOT of MURK then, and ABOUT the SPY SCANDAL the Zionist newspaper mentions?
See: Israeli spy ring
Yeah, I NEVER SEE a WORD in my Boston Globe -- and NEVER WILL for as long as that rotting, hulking, diseased and putrid carcass continues to show up on the newsstands.
What articles like this are meant to do is REMIND the GLOBALISTS who has their balls in their pockets. I mean, this is China, the Clintons, and Christians, right -- not Israel, Congress, and AIPAC -- appearing in my Zionist War Daily?
Also see: U.S., Media Settle With Wen Ho Lee
Oh, so it isn't even China, huh, MSM?
Riady, 52, declined to be interviewed but, in an e-mailed response to written questions, said the teachings of Christ “inform all that I do.’’ He said he hadn’t seen the Clintons during his 2009 trips to America but did pay $20,000 to become a member of the Clinton Global Initiative, an annual gathering of prominent figures in politics, business, and philanthropy sponsored by Bill Clinton.
The more I see the terms globalist and new (world) order phrases in the Zionist AmeriKan MSM, the MORE I AM CONVINCED they are ANOTHER LAYER of COVER! First it's the puppet politicians, then it is controlled-opposition that makes the paper, then it is this layer of cover (the NWO) that is a dodge for what appears to have been written in the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Weird how that all works out, huh?
A senior State Department official said Hillary Clinton had no knowledge of the decision to let Riady enter the country. He said the embassy in Jakarta issued the visa after Riady asked to travel to America to attend family graduation ceremonies....
So she DOESN'T EVEN KNOW what is happening in her OWN DEPARTMENT, 'eh?
And SO MUCH for WATCH LISTS, 'eh, America?
On his second visit, he went to a September business forum in Boston of Indonesian and American executives. He also registered for a New York meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative. Riady’s e-mail said he wanted to attend because “educational issues were on the agenda’’ but didn’t “because I was unable to fit it into my schedule.’’
Riady’s wide range of activities didn’t violate the terms of his visa, American officials say, but nonetheless caused consternation in the State Department.
No the GETTING CAUGHT and OUTED NOW(?) part is what is bugging them.
Those globalists trying to move away from the Zionist plan?
ANY DEVIATION will do it!! Why this story NOW, huh?
The tycoon, one State Department official said, is free to apply to visit again but “the reality of his past remains a significant obstacle for future travel to the United States.’’
Oooooh, the damage done!
Riady, who trained as an investment banker in New York, met Bill Clinton in 1978 when the Indonesian spent four months in Little Rock, where Riady's conglomerate, Lippo Group, bought a local bank, according to court documents.
Yup, ALWAYS comes back to BANKS, doesn't it?

"Human cargo flowing in steady stream across China-Myanmar border" by Keith B. Richburg, Washington Post | January 10, 2010

RUILI, China - This booming little border town in China’s southwestern Yunnan Province, where the economic prosperity of China is separated from the destitution of Myanmar by nothing more than a flimsy, rusted metal fence, has emerged as the new front line in the worldwide fight against human trafficking.

On any given afternoon, a steady stream of people scale the 6-foot-high fence, unperturbed by the Chinese border guards posted just a hundred yards away.
Amid the men from Myanmar looking for day labor, or women coming to sell their vegetables in the wealthier Chinese markets, is traffic far less benign: Myanmar women being brought over for marriages with Chinese men - some forced, some voluntarily arranged through “matchmakers’’; babies being brought into China to be sold; and Chinese women from poorer inland areas being moved in the opposite direction, often ending up in Southeast Asia’s sex industry.
