Hey, a new reason to hate Shrub! He's been such a big meanie to the French, he's driven them into the arms of the Red Chinese! La Dame belle sans merci, she is planning to hold joint manoeuvres with Mainland China today. (Oh, and by some small coincidence, neighbouring Taiwan is holding a electoral contest this Saturday between a pro-independence president and his KMT challenger. France must've overlooked that, since I'm sure the home of Liberté, égalité, et fraternité wouldn't want any part in intimidating voters in the free and fair elections of a fellow democracy.)

I suppose when you're convinced of the need for a military counterbalance to the USA at any cost, there's no telling whom you'll embrace. So the USA has taken down your client state and now cowardly Germany spurns your advances? Fine, look to the Far East! Of course, an ally without teeth is not worth having, so you'll have to pressure your partners in the EU to end the ban on weapon sales to the world's largest dictatorship. After all, if you can forgive and forget Halabja, what sense does it make to hold a grudge about Tiananmen Square?

What were we thinking, not bending over backwards to patch up relations with la belle France? We've completely forgot "Babette"'s advice on SNL News! Uncle Sam should be saying, "You slut! You whore! Come back to me! Throw away your new Asian boy toy and all is forgiven!"

that it's more a difference in perspectives than view points between us, meself. Betcha some big franco-chinese telecom deal is gonna be announced by summer, or some such; gods, the money china must be paying for this...

Didja catch that Japan announced that they are switching the primary focus of their foreign aid programs from China to India this week? Mind, many of the big ticket projects they were funding are nearing completion, but still, the timing is... interesting.
