China is using the net to attack us everyday,

I hear ya brit. They are building Boston's new city trains. They are opening a plant in Springfield Mass and hiring like a few hundred Americans who are training in China for a year. That was the one stipulation they had to hire ALL Americans.

I suppose that these redundant men will either get new jobs in call centres, serving burgers OR join the ranks of the unemployed ” benefit scroungers.

Is this part of the great Conservative recovery policy ?
While Russia pacify the Middle East, China dominates the original Saxon.

China dominates the original SAXONS.? An absolutely meaningless phrase but again it's up to your typical level of comment.

And soon the region will be pacified.
I'm learning the languages of Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. They are very similar. But I have not yet mastered completely so that I can not translate texts safely.
Unlike the English, the Russian phonetics is pleasant to the ears.

Oct 22nd, 2015 - 09:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are not dealing with Argentina here, the Chinese are interested in our financial markets, creativity and brains (Graphine), not our cattle! We have been around a long time and can look after ourselves, we are the worlds ultimate pragmatists after all.
I personally am far happier dealing with the Chinese than the EU.
I am quite sure that Brussels are watching very carefully and taking note that we are more than capable of trading globally and attracting massive investment without the need to be shackled to the EU.
I am quite proud that the Chinese are very interested in my home city of Manchester and the president was very specific about wanting to come here over and above anywhere else in the UK, presumably because we have the largest Chinese population outside London and they are very welcome here.
Wǒ hěn gāoxìng rènshi nǐ. President Xi
