Shame shame shame. Also evidence that China's central government is not strong enough in many ways especially when local governments are not competent or co-operative.

There are two conflicting theories in archeology, preservation and restoration. This is neither.

It probably was the cheapest way to make it a safe walkable path which is practical but also completely misses the point.

blocking the deal, some senators remarked that the Strait of Hormuz would be threatened if Houthi rebels take over all of Yemen.

But the shipping bottleneck actually separates Iran and an Omani peninsula, not Yemen, which is hundreds of miles south of Oman and borders the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The misidentification came from Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who brought up the strait as an issue of concern should Iran-friendly Houthis take over Yemen.

Senator McCain asked Senator Corker if that would “Indeed pose a threat to the Straits [sic] of Hormuz, where they are already harassing American naval vessels?” to which Corker responded: “It creates greater instability in a region that already has had tremendous amounts of it. But no question, I mean, it borders the strait and again it puts more of that in Iranian hands.”

Why did these people never learn geography?

I was driving home a few hours ago and was listening to the John Batchelor Show on the radio. He had Gordon Chang on and they were talking about how war between India and Pakistan was going to break out imminently. They talked about military capabilities and Chang mentioned that Pakistan had the JF-17. Then he mentioned how China was trying to sell Pakistan its Shenyang FC-1. LOL!!!!

Scary part is a lot of people would take that as fact. A lot of sino watchers actually think highly of Gordon Chang. I've personally not heard much about him until I joined this forum but I wasn't a SINO-phile either LOL

Gordon Chang has a niche audience that he likes to r@ped their ears for money basically.

Speaking of Gordon Gutherie Chang, here's another piece, a piece that is such a blackhole of willful ignorance of facts and logic, so fortified by bullheaded stupidity and wishful thinking that it shall become imperative upon American scientists to weaponize it so we call deploy its infinite negation of common sense upon ISIS.

That's it. We finally have irrefutable that the most outrageous and obstinate China bear is in fact a MSS agent sent to instill complacency in the hallways of Washington DC and the airwaves of mass media.

LOL, I only read the first page, and it sounds like a typical Chang article: China's economy is going to collapse. Any minute now.

The funniest part is this:

AT THE core of “Say Goodbye to Taiwan” is the assumption that China will continue its extraordinary rise. But will it? In 2014, when the piece appeared, Mearsheimer’s prediction appeared sound. Today, it does not.

Isn't this the guy who has been predicting China's collapse since the 90's? Did he just effectively admit that everything he said prior to 2014 is utter BS?

You are an artist with words.

My guess is that Mr. Chang wants to fleece that new Taiwan think tank in DC (can't quiet remember their name) for some speaking fees. After all, fools and their money...
