China downplays news of Egyptian uprising
BEIJING – China is downplaying news of the massive uprising in Egypt that led to the resignation of its president, likely wary of spawning any unrest that might threaten Beijing's grip on power.

Most newspapers and online portals were running a terse report from the official Xinhua News Agency that gave basic facts about President Hosni Mubarak's resignation while only briefly mentioning the large-scale protests that brought about his ouster.

The news from Egypt was buried in the middle of state television's noon newscast Saturday. CCTV did not air any footage of protesters but instead used showed scenes of shuttered shops and empty streets.

Foreign Ministry spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a statement that China hopes Egypt can restore stability as soon as possible.

Yep.....my whole house is a living testament of how Communism works!

Of course China's state controlled media is going to sweep the story of Egypt under the rug. Totalitarian governments don't like uprisings of the people. Nothing has changed since 1989.

Hey Wall Street. We have millions of slaves. Make you cheap goods. We keep making cheap goods for exchange of technology. Ha! Ha! Ha! now we can out produce you, your military can't do anything, and you owe us a lot of money. The only thing we gained is we outsourced our pollution to China.

Once Bernake has hyperinflated the US dollar to zero, then we owe china nothing because any number times zero is zero. Ingenious! The Federal Reserve is saving us from China by destroying our buying ability and savings.

[SunisinuS]

Lol I want it enshrined in the War Plan...just like WW II. If China starts the conflict.....all debts are declared Null and Void. You cannot have a contract with a criminal. That is the Tete a Tete we should have for China as Detente'. You bankrupt mofos will be Bankrupt. You do one thing like your little shit North Korea does and hits JUST ONE of our Navy Warships..... You will be reminded.

China rises and rises, yet still gets foreign aid
Taxpayers and lawmakers in donor countries are increasingly asking why

China is now the world's second largest economy. Yet it also remains a major recipient of foreign aid, a fact that a growing number of taxpayers and lawmakers in donor countries are questioning.By GILLIAN WONG

China spent tens of billions of dollars on a dazzling 2008 Olympics. It has sent astronauts into space. It recently became the world's second largest economy. Yet it gets more than $2.5 billion a year in foreign government aid — and taxpayers and lawmakers in donor countries are increasingly asking why.

With the global economic slowdown crimping government budgets, many countries are finding such generosity politically and economically untenable. China says it's still a developing country in need of aid, while some critics argue that the money should go to poorer countries in Africa and elsewhere.


Germany and Britain have moved in recent months to reduce or phase out aid. Japan, long China's biggest donor, halted new low-interest loans in 2008.

"People in the U.K. or people in the West see the kind of flawless expenditure on the Olympics and the (Shanghai) Expo and it's really difficult to get them to think the U.K. should still be giving aid to China," said Adrian Davis, head of the British government aid agency in Beijing, which plans to wrap up its projects in China by March.

"I don't think you will have conventional aid to China from anybody, really, after about the next three to five years," he said.

Aid to China from individual donor countries averaged $2.6 billion a year in 2007-2008, according to the latest figures available from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

Ethiopia, where average incomes are 10 times smaller, got $1.6 billion, although measured against a population of 1.3 billion, China's share of foreign aid is still smaller than most. Iraq got $9.462 billion and Afghanistan $3.475 billion.


The aid to China is a marker of how much has changed since 1979, when the communist country was breaking out in earnest from 30 years of isolation from the West. In that year, foreign aid was a paltry $4.31 million, according to the OECD.

Today's aid adds up to $1.2 billion a year from Japan, followed by Germany at about half that amount, then France and Britain.

The U.S. gave $65 million in 2008, mainly for targeted programs promoting safe nuclear energy, health, human rights and disaster relief. The reason Washington gives so little is because it still maintains the sanctions imposed following the 1989 military crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrators at Tiananmen Square, said Drew Thompson, a China expert at the Nixon Center in Washington, D.C.

China is also one of the biggest borrowers from the World Bank, taking out about $1.5 billion a year.

Asked why China still needed foreign aid after making so much economic progress, the Commerce Ministry said that China remains a developing country with 200 million poor and big environmental and energy challenges.

The current debate spotlights the challenges of addressing poverty in middle-income countries such as China, India and Brazil, where economic growth is strong but wealth is unequally spread. After the U.S., China has the world's most billionaires, yet incomes averaged just $3,600 last year.

Roughly three-quarters of the world's 1.3 billion poor people now live in middle-income countries, according to Andy Sumner, a fellow at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex in the U.K.


..That's a major shift since 1990, when 93 percent of the poor lived in low-income countries, Sumner said. It raises the question of who should help the poor in such places: their own governments or foreign donors?


Experts say it's hard to justify giving aid to China when it spent an estimated $100 billion last year equipping and training the world's largest army and also holds $2.5 trillion in foreign reserves.

"China's made a strategic choice to invest in building its military and acquiring these massive reserves, but at the same time it's underfunding social services, so I think it's going to be harder and harder for donor nations to continue to fund projects in China," said Thompson.

Japan's generosity has historically been driven at least in part by a desire to make amends for its invasion of China in the 1930s. But in recent years Japanese lawmakers and officials have repeatedly questioned whether the money flow should continue, pointing to China's emergence as a donor to African countries.

China provided around $1.4 billion in aid to Africa last year, according to Professor Deborah Brautigam, an expert on China-Africa relations at the American University in Washington, D.C.

Japan has cut its aid down to grants and technical help for environmental and medical projects. Germany's current projects are due to be completed by 2014.

China is cautious about its new status. It is proud of having lifted half a billion people out of poverty and is beginning to flex the muscle that comes with being an economic power. Yet when, for instance, it is called on to agree to binding reductions in carbon emissions, it replies that it can't because it's still a developing country.

At this week's U.N. global summit on fighting poverty, Premier Wen Jiabao pledged to expand Chinese foreign aid and announced an additional $200 million in aid to flood-hit Pakistan.

But he also stressed that China still had to help its own tens of millions of poor. And when Europe's top diplomat, Catherine Ashton, visited China this month, her hosts made sure to take her to a poor village in the remote southern province of Guizhou.

Development aid is not always solely based on need either. Aid groups say China is an ideal place to try out projects, because the authoritarian government can expand successful ones rapidly on a large scale.

Civilized countries including the U.S. and the European Union are exporting funds along with progress, democracy, and freedom. The CCP on the other hand, is exporting funds along with totalitarianism, violence, pollution, and corruption. Fueling the entire mechanism, are the Chinese people, who have been victimized repeatedly over the last half-century. Overshadowing the entire situation are the disasters which such unrighteous acts have brought to people in other countries.

In reality, not all countries receiving aid from China welcome it. When the South Asian tsunami struck, Indonesia and Thailand declined China's disaster relief team (it was only allowed to help after China had reduced its size to just over 30 people). They were worried that the CCP would take such a situation as an opportunity to send in spies to ferret out military secrets. African countries generally complain that the CCP often breaks its promises. The China aided projects in Africa were oftentimes contracted out to Chinese construction teams, which is the equivalent of transferring from one hand to the other, while the African countries did not gain any actual benefits.

The recent Sino-African diplomatic crisis can best illustrate this situation. A road and bridge construction project in Madagascar was originally supposed to be funded by the World Bank. The President of Madagascar decided to hand the contract over to a Chinese construction company. However, it turned into a jerry-built project. Within half a year of completion the bridge collapsed and the road was partially destroyed, yet the Chinese construction team refused to recognize its mistake.

There might be hope. The Chinese have rock bands now.
