Zimbabwe arms shipped by China spark an uproar - International Herald Tribune

Ya, right, it's so much better to interfere in the internal affairs of a whole continent like Africa (supposing China's not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries in Asia, too)!

This case just proves once again (if needed) that PR China doesn't care about any people in the world; it only cares about the stability of their governments. Long is the road leading to democracy. Keep up the bad work, PR China!

You beat me to writing this thread,lol Yes, it is interesting that China is always accusing other`s of being irresponsible, yet they have no problem shipping tons of arms to a continent torn by violence and to a country trying to keep a democracy going instead of a dictatorship. It just goes to show what Beijing`s real motives are.

I am very proud of our judicial system who refused the ship to dock and unlod. Just readnow the ship is on its way to angola, where it will indeed try and unload. (This is silly, itshould've havegone to Namibia, a very close ally of Zim).

Zim will get these arms.

Shame on China!

AH

I had no intention to beat you here, lol. BTW I like your threads. I've enjoyed taking part in the Broad Support For China Over Tibet Issue thread, even though my Chinese counterparts kind of dismissed me there, lol. Anyway you are right I think about Beijing's real motives. Despite their name (PRC), they are definitely not on the people's side.

I'm very proud of your judicial system, too. Maybe now we ought to train Durban's sharks in order to sink unwelcomed ships, lol. Other than that I feel very sorry for Zimbabweans. Their votes are disregarded and their dictatorship seems to be backed by PR China. It's a sad news for peace & democracy in Africa.

Yeah, after 50 plus years in power and millions in re-education camps, millions dead and no human rights I find the People`s part of the name especially ironic. Maybe by people they mean the select few communist elite at the top of the Beijing government who decides what is best for themselves.

who is the biggest munitioner in the world ? who send the army to almost everywhere in the world ? who invade the iraq for oil ? who has the most nukes in the world ?

The USA.
Now, it looks like someone else is following our bad example.

Ridiculous comments. The weapon deals between Zimbabwe and other countries are perfectly legal. If America has no problem shipping tons of arms to Middle East that is torn by violence, it just show what Washington's real motives are.

True but two wrongs don't make a right.
In fact, I happen to know the Chinese learn quickly, also about the wrongs. He, I'm on your side for the Tibet thinghy but that's only a "detail of history" *, yes?










* Meaning: others have used that line before me. Not sure though if Gooooogle will be your friend to look that particular one up.
