Aggressive' China losing friends: leaks

^ I agree CD, although I feel that India is not up to a point where it can fully utilize its raw materials, so if they stay underground they add zero value to the economy. I'm hopeful as the economy grows the domestic demand for these products will increase and India should be able to utilize these materials in house. A similar case would be wrt rare earths being primarily supplied by china, as china's domestic consumption rises, its RE exports will decline further as well.

Very true, in fact I think that is happening now. The government is cutting quotas for rare earth exports.

It sucks to export rare earths to Japan, and then have the Japanese sell it BACK to us in the form of a finished product like an LCD screen.

Best to make the finished products ourselves, we need to keep the value chain inside the country. :tup:
 
well these might be facts but seems like a joke when it comes from america which bullies almost every country in this world.

those days might be numbered now that the asians are rising. a lot depends on how sino-indian relations develop in the future. if you get a chance, take a look at the wikileaks on the copenhagen summit. you'll realize what i'm on about.
 
So true!
China is not only losing friends but making more enemies.
China should be more concentrated on a regulated growth and look for a bright future rather than try and behave like a Big Bro.
China has been criticized many a times for this.

I just don't understand why China pretends to be aggressive and over estimating itself!
Its leaders seem to be misguided.

overestimating itself... hmm... :azn:
 
The cable refers to another dispute that later broke into the open. A Norwegian diplomat said Oslo was unhappy with the trend of bilateral relations, citing the lack of progress in human rights discussions and referring to the jailing of writer Liu Xiaobo. China reacted angrily when Norway's Nobel committee gave the peace prize to Liu recently.

:lol: This is interesting!

I remember that a few days back when Norway had said something irritating (to India) about Kashmir and our Pakistani friends had hailed 'the Great Norway' as a champion of human rights and what not.

Guess what they have to say now? :lol:

Let me guess...'fake' Wikileaks, anyone?:oops:

their leaders have a far better track record than GOI. a little bit of honesty goes a long way my dear friend
 
China is not being agressiv, it is being normal with all the poking going on by US & co,
What china needs to do is to be more calm and relaxed while being forward thinking and pro-active in its decision making.
 
Is it just me, or is Wikileaks helping US more than hurting it? I mean, seriously. All the things coming out are helping the US. China getting tired of NK, India seeking US help against China, etc. Even the supposed diplomatic cables aren't that bad. I mean, every country says those things in private and it's not like they lost anything big over it.

I'm not saying Julian Assange is a CIA agent, but it seems like the government purposely place only certain documents in easy to access locations in hopes that someone like Assange would 'steal' them and release them.

The rumors out there does SUGGEST that Julian is a CIA agent.

Yes i had already seen many of them quoting wikileaks as spicy stories

But they fail to understand either the entire stories r spicy or all of them r true

Just a matter of selective perception,works for a few who r only here to win the argument
 
I don't know if our Chinese posters here want to talk in a serious manner about this. the currency manipulation, the false insistence of calling itself as a "developing country " and not "developed" to walk away from economic standards a " developed country" has to comply with for trade. The resource for aid deals in poor countries, the human right issues, the constant barrage of provocation of others boarders, Taiwan, Tibet, the disregard for climate change, the state sponsored hacking, support for the worlds pariah and terrorist supporting nations etc etc. this is not even touching on the dictatorship internally because quite frankly it is non of our business.

China continues to dump cheap consumer goods into foreign markets. By keeping the yuan undervalued, the party-state creates an enormous competitive advantage for China and keeps many workers from Canada and across the world out of work. Nobel laureate economist Paul Krugman has said that, by displacing the output of foreign producers with its own low-wage goods, China is arguably the prime culprit in holding back a robust recovery in global economies.

Economist Peter Navarro, author of The Coming China Wars, argues that consumer markets across the world have been “conquered” by China, largely through cheating on trade practices. These include export subsidies, the widespread counterfeiting and piracy of products, currency manipulation, and environmental, health, and safety standards so lax and weakly enforced that they have made China a very dangerous place to work.
