I urge evryone interested in Chinese affairs to read the outlet of the communist nation, so you can see for yourself how distorted the news is. For example, in this artice China claims the support of such great nations as Syria ,and the Democratic People`s Republic of Korea. Nice going Beijing, we really trust you with those friends. Ahh,the joys of poorly thought out propoganda. Cheers!
They refer to quite a few more regimes, supporting them: mostly neighbours, small Island states and African states that want to get some of their "investments".
You know my stance on Tibet but yes... this kind of propagande is a big laugh in our western eyes.
Don't forget however it's meant for their inland consumption and as the press over there is not free our way, they have no need to use more subtle tactics like the western progaganda.
Happy holiday today, sailor and thanks for the laugh. :-)
