"So while it is easy and comfortable to say that the otherness of eastern Germany today is the result of that 40-year Soviet occupation, history says otherwise. East Elbia has always been different. Take the voting patterns: from 1871 to 1933, East Elbia outside Berlin (always a left-liberal political island) was the main electoral reservoir for the authoritarian right. The Prussian Conservative Party under the empire, the Deutschnationale Volkspartei until 1928 and the Nazis from 1930 depended on rural and small-town East Elbian voters. It was they who (just) swung things in 1933, by going 50-60 per cent for the “Hitler coalition”. Had all Germany voted like the Rhineland or Bavaria, Hitler and his Junker allies would have got nowhere close to a majority. Small wonder that Adenauer didn’t want East Elbia back and was secretly delighted to have it safely fenced off behind the Iron Curtain."

The reasons officially given for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 – Saddam’s regime hiding weapons of mass destruction and being an intolerable threat to the outside world – were a transparently false pretext for war, and that was clearly discernible at the time.

It was nothing of the kind. That was on the list of concerns Bush had. Bush's trilemmas don't go away just because Eurotrash strike poses and have impoverished imaginations.

You are completely wrong on several counts. The Chinese have in several respects been like the Jews- from their economic and educational dominance, to the clannishness, to their perceived "dual loyalties." It is not Amy Chua that makes the case, but the hard record of history, as conservative, and very NON superficial Thomas Sowell shows time and time again. No one need Chua to make the case, history makes the case.

You also say that the Jews have no peasantry, but this is a weak point for while lack of a peasantry is generally true as to the diaspora, the Chinese have also pursued urban activities heavily as they settled throughout Asia. Matter of fact Chinese ownership of land was frowned upon by locals in many places, forcing the Chinese, like the Jews, to go into more urban occupations and pursuits. Hence the resented Chinese shopkeeper, mill owner etc is a staple figure in Southeast Asia. This does not mean no peasantry- there were farmers in various spots- but the bulk of Chinese activity was linked more with the urban line. The same pattern shows in the United States. The Chinese were driven out or restricted as to land-ownership. They were forced to go urban- hence the famous "Chinatowns" all over the US. Here again is another strong parallel to the Jews, parallels which you claim do not exist.


You also say peasant types were mocked and scorned in Jewry. But this is dubious. Again, diasporan Jews were in many cases forbidden or discouraged from getting a land base. They had to go urban, just like the Chinese in the US and elsewhere. When the Jews had a chance to put together a viable living via agricultural occupations as in Israel, they did so with aplomb. And not only Israel. In his The Wealth of Nations, Adam Smith attributed much of the development of Brazil's sugar industry and cultivation to the arrival of Portuguese Jews who were forced out of Portugal. And in ancient Babylonia there were quite large Jewish agricultural communities, until these were suppressed via taxation and other measures, after the Arab conquest.

You say Germans prospered everywhere they went, true, but so did Jews and so did Chinese. And the wars against the Germans ere not "race" wars. This is laughable propaganda put forth by certain corporals. There is very little "racial" difference between Germans and their conquerors- white Americans, British and Russians- variation yes (what else is new) but no earth-shattering "racial" differences. And since when have Germans been "wiped off the mat?" This is even more laughable, unless you are equating "true Germans" with the long failed propaganda line put forth by the Austrian corporal.

The best answer is that the PLA or at least the Communist Party doesn't expect a war any time soon and thus doesn't feel like spending preparing for one. With a 82.5 trillion yuan economy and barely 1.11 trillion in defense spending out of government budget of 21.5 trillion yuan, China's spending levels is barely better than Western European levels and below France and the UK. This level of pacifism is dangerously complacent considering the Anglos are murderous piratical scum, the deceitful heirs of Hengist and Horsa while the Americans are the same except combined with Trotskyite messianic insanity. China needs to triple her defense spending now and exponentially increase her strategic nuclear arsenal in a sprint to parity with the US. This wouldn't even be a big militarization as it would be merely restoring defense budgets to those of the mid 80's. It would on the other hand give us an aviation and fleet larger than Nato combined.

The 31-year-old man, wanted by police, had thought playing a numbers game would be enough to allow him to fade into anonymity.

The population of China is a staggering 1.4 billion people, give or take a few million.

More than 45 million of them live in Jiangxi province in southeast China, and 5 million of those people are concentrated in Nanchang, the province's capital.

On the night of April 7, nearly 60,000 people — or roughly 1 percent of the city's population — had gathered at the Nanchang International Sports Center for a concert by Cantopop legend Jacky Cheung.

Who could ever locate a single person in such a crowd?

And so it was there, amid the sea of faces in a packed stadium, with everyone's attention presumably turned to the stage, that the fugitive assumed he was safe from authorities.

But in the middle of an upbeat electronic song about summer romance, a pair of police officers began descending the aisles, according to footage posted on the Chinese video sharing site Miaopai. Soon, they had arrived at the row they were looking for and apprehended the 31-year-old.

Before Cheung had finished singing the refrain, officers were escorting the man out of the show.

The man, identified only by his surname Ao, was reportedly wanted for “economic crimes,” according to Kan Kan News. Details about Ao had been in a national database, and when he had arrived at the stadium, cameras at the entrances with facial-recognition technology had identified him — and flagged authorities, the news site reported.

“He was completely shocked when we took him away,” police officer Li Jin told Xinhua news agency. “He couldn't fathom that police could so quickly capture him in a crowd of 60,000.”

Ao's unlikely capture became the latest example of China's growing use of facial-recognition technology.

As The Washington Post's Simon Denyer reported, law enforcement and security officials in China hope to use such technology to track suspects and even predict crimes. Ultimately, officials there want to create a comprehensive, nationwide surveillance system known as “Xue Liang,” or “Sharp Eyes” to monitor the movements of its citizens:

At the back end, these efforts merge with a vast database of information on every citizen, a “Police Cloud” that aims to scoop up such data as criminal and medical records, travel bookings, online purchase and even social media comments — and link it to everyone’s identity card and face.

A goal of all of these interlocking efforts: to track where people are, what they are up to, what they believe and who they associate with — and ultimately even to assign them a single “social credit” score based on whether the government and their fellow citizens consider them trustworthy.

Looking east, the most rapid expansion of the Jewish population in recorded history was during the long period of prosperity of Poland, and that nation's decline and fall ended that period and ended in disaster.

The genetic advantage of European Jews is their IQ, and the more stable and prosperous a nation is, the greater the returns to IQ, as such society becomes more complex and literate.
