Befriend the far and attack the near

The People’s Daily, official newspaper for Red China's Communist Party, and the English-language Global Times, a propaganda vehicle run by its information department chose the same time to intensify anti-India rhetoric; during a visit to China by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani.

In what is possibly the strongest diatribe China’s ruling party has directed at India in recent memory, the Communist Party in two editorials in its official newspapers accused the Indian government of “recklessness and arrogance” and “turning a blind eye” to China’s “concessions” in resolving the long-running boundary dispute.

The remarks come a day after China said it was “strongly dissatisfied” with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s recent visit to Arunachal Pradesh, parts of which China still has claims on.

A suggestion: It is still a good idea to give the USS Kitty Hawk to India. And if my American cousins were lead by a real president instead of a student council president it is remotely possible it might come to pass. As it stands, expect more aid and comfort to America's enemies and for India to get thrown under the bus.

Irony, thy name is "realism": Al Qaeda takes a less nuanced view than that advanced by China's foreign policy, its alliance with Pakistan soon to proove just as profitable the Chinese as it has been to Americans.

A leading Al-Qaeda militant on Wednesday called on Muslims worldwide to defend Uighurs in China's restive northwestern region of Xinjiang. He told Uighurs to prepare for a holy war or Jihad and urged a "vast media campaign" to raise awareness of their fate at the hands of "oppressive" China.
