The annals of Chinese overreach (II)


I see where a Chinese
navy ship
tried to confront an Indian navy ship that was steaming off the
coast of Vietnam.



Just when you think China is
becoming a great power, it
starts acting like a chump.
Or like an early 19th-century example of
unbridled capitalism -- with police beating to death a teenager who was caught
near a protest against a
land grab
involving a Communist Party official who was playing footsie with
a real estate developer who was plowing up the graves of locals' ancestors.



And don't forget that Chinese
general's 15-year-old son driving a
customized BMW
without a license.
