Damn I must watch out for those "outburts". I "beleive" they are a "hinderence".

Meanwhile, in WWIII news...

(CNN)Three Indian soldiers were killed during a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops along the countries' de facto border in the Himalayas late Monday, the Indian army said in a statement.

The incident occurred during a "deescalation process" underway in the Galwan Valley in the disputed Aksai Chin-Ladakh area, where a large troop build up has reportedly been taking place for weeks now on both sides of the border, before senior military commanders began talks earlier this month.

According to the Indian army statement, there was loss of life "on both sides," including an Indian officer and two Indian soldiers. The statement did not specify the number of additional Chinese casualties. It added that senior military officials from both sides are currently meeting to defuse the situation.

• All the deaths are from thrown stones, people familiar with the matter said on condition of anonymity. The army did not comment on this.

If stones are the weapon, the Indians ought to tap up Pakistan.

Japan halts deployment of Aegis Ashore missile defence system

'Japanese Defence Minister Taro Kono said on Monday that he had suspended plans to deploy two U.S.-made Aegis Ashore air defence radar stations designed to detect and counter North Korean ballistic missiles. Kono told reporters that Japan was halting the deployment due to technical issues as well as cost. The two proposed Lockheed Martin Co radar sites, one in the northern prefecture of Akita and the other in Yamaguchi prefecture in southern Japan, had also faced opposition from local residents.

With radars more powerful than the ship-based version of Aegis that Japan already operates, the planned stations were meant to help counter recent missile advances by North Korea and relieve pressure on Japan’s stretched navy.

“I made a decision on Friday to suspend the process... For the time being, Japan will continue to counter (the threat) with Aegis-equipped ships” said Kono.

North Korea, which is threatening military action against South Korea unless it stops defectors from sending leaflets and other material to the North, last year tested a series of new ballistic missiles with irregular trajectories that Japan said appeared designed to penetrate Aegis defences.

The two planned Aegis Ashore systems would cost about 439 billion yen ($4.1 billion) for operation and maintenance for the next 30 years, according to defence ministry documents.

That price tag comes as Japan faces an economy weakened by the coronavirus pandemic and unprecedented stimulus spending that is putting pressure on government finances.

According to the plans, the sites were to be initially armed with SM-3 Block IIA interceptor missiles designed to shoot down warheads in space. Japan, however, will have to pay to test those interceptors at a U.S. military test site in Hawaii before deployment, further adding to the cost of the Aegis Ashore system.

Tests for the SM-3 Block IIA missiles alone could cost at least $500 million, sources with knowledge of the programme told Reuters last year. "

That's what you tell yourself. What you don't tell yourself is that 'whataboutism', deflection, outright lies and quanitity over quality is the not the right way of debating

He and his mate klondick also don't seem to realise how commonly found those tactics are on forums, and how transparent they are.

Score update, the chinkies have made a great comeback in the second half.

Generally word for word from a recognised government spokesman. There are of course Opinion Posts in them which are the writers opinion.

Which newspapers of record do you consider "legitimate"?

As opposed to unbiased reports of rfa, The Moscow Times, and similar...

You have to admit they are fucking funny sometimes.

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress, China's top legislature, strongly condemned and resolutely opposed the signing of the so-called "Uighur Human Rights Policy Act of 2020" by the United States in disregard of stern representations from China, Xinhua reports.


The U.S. move has grossly interfered in China's internal affairs and seriously violated international law and the basic norms governing international relations, the committee said in a statement.

To respect and protect human rights is an important principle set forth in China's Constitution and an important goal of China's endeavors to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects, according to the statement.

Unless you're believe in democracy, or you are a Uighur, Nepalese, Tibetan, a Hong Konger, an Asian fisherman, etc. etc. etc. etc.

No, you haven't - just that you've done business with China, have visited Thailand and availed yourself of female Thai comfort-workers.

Your English, though excellent, has the 'tells'. Unlike Klondyke who is clearly something East European
