"You open a company on a joint venture basis, in a Chinese province. And because you only own 49%, they own 51% or more, the local party leaders, these are like Mafioso Dons, I'm told -- you have to lay your entire blueprint on the table, including the technology, and they will have their experts t...

Re: 17-Jun-18 World View -- Italy's migration policy opens up battle lines within the EU

I wonder sometimes if these Catholic priests - and even the Pope - have actually read the Bible which clearly says breaking a countries laws is a sin. Illegally entering a country (and by extension, I would say gaming the system) is a clear violation of this commandment. The Pope is a secularist. H...

Re: 14-Jun-18 World View -- After the Kim-Trump summit, US and N. Korea plan denuclearization details

John, I think your analysis is spot on. I see Trump doing stuff, and though I can't say it all makes sense, a lot of it does make sense to anyone who has had to make a deal, negotiate and/or thinks the West is worth saving. I don't know if it's just the left hating because that cant ever give Trump ...

Re: 11-Apr-18 World View -- Major multi-national military operation planned for Syria after Sarin gas use

Re: 18-Jul-17 World View -- China bans Winnie The Pooh because Xi Jinping looks like him

The CCP is so fragile that Winnie the Poo is a credible threat. Lol.

Barbarism will replace them.

Agree, root cause is the Italian people themselves. Sigh. The Roman blood is long diluted it seems.
