So what's new?
This is all just another dissonant tone in the fucked-up cacophony that is the modern world these days. If it's not China, it's Iraq, or Israel/Palestine, or Sudan, or Zimbabwe or . . . you get the picture.
At least the world is standing up and taking notice. And we're talking about it and it's in the news - for the time being 'till the next flashpoint in the world
So I hope it's resolved quickly and for the good of all people.
Australia is forging close links with China these days, and there's been a bunch of Aussie millionaires created thanks to the mining boom as a result of China's appetite for our copper, steel and a shitload of other resources.
With so much money coming in, I doubt our Mandarin-speaking Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd) will do anything to rock the boat.
