Quoi de mieux que l'éloge.
Mencius, a sacred Chinese ancient philosopher, said:
"There is surely some food that everybody admits its quality of taste.
There is surely some music that everybody admits its quality of melody.
There is surely some woman that everybody admits her beauty.
But, there is also some way of living everybody admits its value of virtue.
Sacred men in the world are those who have found the way ahead of everybody."
CHAPTER I: China Review
National Chairman of China Mr. Hu Jintao visited Chicago to show respect for President Mr. Barack Obama.
But, generally speaking, ordinary Americans are not taught correctly about China; American businesses do not mind any domestic problems in China, such as a 100 times more gap between the rich and the poor in China than in America; and American politicians think that China is easy to deal with.
Some American elites and rich men said that everything in the world would be decided by the U.S. and China. As a result, one of the poorest country, North Korea, has developed nuclear bombs and fired at South Korean naval ships and citizens at its will. American naval forces do not contribute to protection of national territories of nations around the South China Sea and the East China Sea. And, the U.S. Government has welcomed the Chinese National Chairman Mr. Hu as if it were welcoming a King of England. American allies and friendly nations have come to doubt Americans: "Did they sell their souls to the Chinese Yuan?"
Friend or Foe? How Americans See China
by Andrew Kohut, President, Pew Research Center
Special to The Wall Street Journal
January 13, 2011
Public interest in China is not just academic. A large majority correctly identifies China as the country that holds the most American debt. Growing numbers of Americans also see China -- incorrectly -- as the world's leading economic power. Pew Research's latest survey finds 47% of respondents citing China as the world's top economic power, and only 31% correctly citing the U.S. In early 2008, the balance of opinion was the opposite: 41% named the U.S., while 30% named China.

As I discussed, China invited many foreign companies into the country by appealing to them with its cheap labor force. Accordingly, half of import and export by China have been through these foreign companies or foreign affiliate companies. In fact, the number of Japanese companies operating their branch offices or factories in China reached 28,000.
According to an analysis, 40% of China's GDP has been produced by foreign companies and foreign affiliate companies making business in China
China's GNP is believed to be fairly smaller in comparison with Japan.
CHAPTER II: China Warning
Warning from Ireland:
Organised Chinese criminals open chain of brothels across Dublin
'Irish Times' advertising to sell sexual services
Monday, 21 July 2008
Human trafficking is now rivalling the drugs trade as the biggest form of organised criminal activity throughout the globe.
The Chinese gangs lead the world with thousands of young people being trafficked internationally.
In the US, the FBI estimate that a healthy young woman, enslaved and working as a prostitute, can produce over a $1m in profit for her masters over a four- to five-year period. After that, they may be deemed to have paid off their "debt" and may be released.

Warning from Italy:
29 JUNE 2010 · 6:54 AM
Chinese Crime Networks Targeted by Raids in Italy
The raids follow growing alarm over criminal activity among the Chinese community. Earlier this month, the Chinese ambassador to Rome travelled to the Tuscan textile manufacturing city of Prato to meet officials after a Chinese employer was shot dead by hooded gunmen and two of his compatriots were hacked to death with machetes in a cafeteria.
Italy’s semi-militarised revenue guard, the Guardia di Finanza, said it had smashed two money-laundering networks which, since 2006, had smuggled back to China some €2.7bn largely amassed by a burgeoning counterfeit fashion industry run by Chinese criminals based in Tuscany.
Many of the firms caught up in the operation used cheap, imported Chinese textiles to produce bogus Italian fashion garments for export to eastern Europe.

Warning from America:
UPDATE 4-NJ says MGM has ties to Chinese criminals
By Deena Beasley
Wed Mar 17, 2010 7:02pm EDT
LOS ANGELES, March 17 (Reuters) - MGM Mirage (MGM.N), accused by New Jersey authorities of links to the Chinese mob, has sealed a plan to exit the weakened Atlantic City market in favor of the booming Chinese gambling center of Macau.
New Jersey's Division of Gaming Enforcement had accused the company last year of questionable conduct in associating with Pansy Ho, the daughter of Macau gambling tycoon Stanley Ho, who they said is linked to Chinese organized crime.
Gambling revenue in Macau, which overtook Las Vegas several years ago to become the world's No. 1 gambling center, rose nearly 70 percent in the first two months of this year. In Atlantic City, hurt by new competition from surrounding states like Pennsylvania as well as the recession, gambling revenue fell 25 percent between 2006 and 2009.

Warning from Vietnam:
Chinese drug traffickers condemned to death
May 31, 2010
VietNamNet Bridge – The Supreme People's Court on May 28 gave a death sentence to five Chinese people who transported nearly eight tons of cannabis resin to Vietnam.
According to the indictment, Chinese citizens A Giai and A Tran met with Lu Ming Cheng on April 22, 2008 to hire him to transport two containers of cannabis resin from Pakistan to Vietnam and then on to Canada for HK$1.5 million. Trinh re-hired Leong Chi Kai at a cost of HK$1.2 million to receive the goods in Mong Cai city, Quang Ninh province, Vietnam to transport the drugs to Canada.
On April 25, 2008, Lu Ming Cheng, Ngan Chiu Kuen and Duong Chi Giai flew from Hong Kong to Mong Cai to receive the two containers of cannabis at a Mong Cai-based company named Vu Hai Co., Ltd. However, without documents proving their ownership, they couldn’t take the containers.
On May 12, 2008, Lu Ming Cheng, Chan Kwok Kwong, Ngan Chiu Kuen and Leong Chi Kai returned to Vu Hai company and deposited $50,000 to take the two containers, containing nearly 8 tons of cannabis resin, and were arrested.

Warning from the Cyberspace
The top 10 Chinese cyber attacks (that we know of)
Posted By Josh Rogin Friday, January 22, 2010 - 8:57 PM
The Defense Department has said that the Chinese government, in addition to employing thousands of its own hackers, manages massive teams of experts from academia and industry in "cyber militias" that act in Chinese national interests with unclear amounts of support and direction from China's People's Liberation Army (PLA).
1) Titan Rain
In 2004, an analyst named Shawn Carpenter at Sandia National Laboratories traced the origins of a massive cyber espionage ring back to a team of government sponsored researchers in Guangdong Province in China.
2) State Department's East Asia Bureau
In July 2006, the State Department admitted it had become a victim of cyber hacking after an official in “East Asia” accidentally opened an email he shouldn't have.
3) Offices of Rep. Frank Wolf
Wolf has been one of the most outspoken lawmakers on Chinese human rights issues, so it was of little surprise when he announced that in August 2006 that his office computers had been compromised and that he suspected the Chinese government.
4) Commerce Department
The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security had to throw away all of its computers in October 2006, paralyzing the bureau for more than a month due to targeted attacks originating from China.
5) Naval War College
In December 2006, the Naval War College in Rhode Island had to take all of its computer systems offline for weeks following a major cyber attack.
6) Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and the 2003 blackout?
A National Journal article revealed that spying software meant to clandestinely steal personal data was found on the devices of then Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and several other officials following a trade mission to China in December 2007.
7) McCain and Obama presidential campaigns
That's right, both the campaigns of then Senators Barack Obama and John McCain were completely invaded by cyber spies in August 2008.
8) Office of Sen. Bill Nelson, D-FL
9) Ghostnet
In March, 2009, researchers inToronto concluded a 10-month investigation that revealed a massive cyber espionage ring they called Ghostnet that had penetrated more than 1,200 systems in 103 countries. The victims were foreign embassies, NGOs, news media institutions, foreign affairs ministries, and international organizations. Almost all Tibet-related organizations had been compromised, including the offices of the Dalai Lama. The attacks used Chinese malware and came from Beijing.
10) Lockheed Martin's F-35 program
In April, 2009, the Wall Street Journal reported that China was suspected of being behind a major theft of data from Lockheed Martin’s F-35 fighter program, the most advanced airplane ever designed. Multiple infiltrations of the F-35 program apparently went on for years.

The more you are given, the more your have to give.
Christ Jesus said so, and not only a person but also a nation will be judged according to this criterion.
In this context, it is very strange that there are tens of millions of poor people in the U.S. It is more strange that there are millions of rich people in China. And, elites of the two countries have boasted that G2, namely the U.S. and China, would virtually rule the world.
The point at issue is that the U.S. could not even correct simple violation of a WTO rule by China. China has decided not to allow foreign companies to make a bid for development of mines containing rare earths in China. It is reported in Japan that a kind of gangsters and corrupt local authorities in a Chinese province are now monopolizing mining and refining rare earths while contaminating local environment.
The economic success of China is based on grave negligence of human rights, international justice, and environmental care to the degree that Japan, the U.S., and European nations cannot accept and bear. The principle of reaction should surely work in the near future.
However, this China problem is a weird result of the global material civilization of this era. We cannot simply blame China and America.
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCUO7F2xjzw
In early 1960's, while tens of millions of local farmers were starving in China, public officials and party executives reported to Mao Tse-tung that his economic policy resulted in great success.
That is why most of Japanese people do not take China's GDP at face value.
What do you think?)
Gen 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
