Message: Entry: Regime Change Redux Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/regime_change_redux#7606 Post contents: PS, a recent, obscure little story about the realities of Russian-Chinese relations: "Chinese workers are beginning to illegally take over land around Yekaterinburg....Locals are livid. Not only are the Chinese taking over land illegally, they say, but are potentially endangering wildlife, as well as polluting the river by dumping human waste into it....Funny thing is, as the Russians don’t speak Chinese and the Chinese don’t speak any Russian, there’s no communication going on. One party doesn’t know what the other party is thinking. Which is too bad because judging by the tone of the article, the Chinese might have to host a lynching party thrown in their honor." http://www.exile.ru/blog/detail.php?BLOG_ID=13333&AUTHOR_ID= And I'm not for lynching, but if it comes down to a conflict between the Russians and their Chinese invaders, I'll back the Russians at least in sentiment, and hope for their successful defense of their country.
