sometimes ppl try too hard.:rolleyes:

but as flex already said, it is no secret that the Z-10 programme exists, so not seeing a detail pic of it now doesnt mean much, as sooner of later the lid would be blown.

Intrique… yes, the intrique!!!

That’s the excitment of it all… not what it’s made of or if it’s for real at the
moment :). It’s what’s known as the spices of life! The sensation: it’s as if you are at John’s St*ip-O-Rama Bar & Sports Grill and they show you everything under the sun…

but there it is: a sign that says off limits — do not touch!!!

Firstly, thank you, Mr. Distiller,
for the clarification. I am after all still only human and I feel.
I also make mistakes like everyone else…

you seem to
be very inclined to defend
Chinese achievements.

The previous PM of Canada, the Honorable John Cretien,
didn’t agree with everything the world says and does either. However, that does not
automatically make him an unfit PM or an anti-social leader.

Speaking strictly for me, I can tell you I admire
the Chinese people or leadership or whoever is behind those
current advances for their determination and my remarks
where more directed towards other areas of asia.

I’m sure the Chinese members of this board can now breath with a
bit of fresher air, Mr. distiller. Therefore, please allow me to thank you on behalf of
all the Chinese on this board although I’ve not been requested to do so.

Your words are heart warming.

I’m very aware of the fact, that
the more China develops, the more Western
and Chinese interests will collide.

Wrong, Mr. Distiller!!!

My bet: There’s a 90 to 100% chance that Chinese development
will in fact help to defuse the mistrust that both countries have over each other.
It will IMO, in fact help cement Sino-US ties even more tightly.

Why so you asked??? Well, if the playing field is more level, China
will have by then lost the phobia that it has about America and similarly,
America’s phobia towards the Chinese. As such, the need for the two to be on
guard against one each other will IMO ultimately cease to exist.

China will take from the West whatever
it sees as fitting its agenda, but will dump the West and Western
interests as soon as it feels strong enough.

Money, as they say, is the root to all evil, Mr. Distiller.
With the huge American market as china’s bread and butter;
and the gigantic Chinese market which the US can take advantage in return;
The US will be indispensable to the Chinese as Chinese are to the US.

Fear not, Mr. Distiller, life can only get better if people get together!!!

Anyway, I agree, Vortex,
friendship always beats antagonistic behavior, unkindness,
and unsociable relationships :)!!!

No hard feelings buddy!
