China, Taiwan leaders pledge peaceful ties at historic encounter
By Simon Denyer November 7
BEIJING — The leaders of China and Taiwan held their first meeting since the end of a civil war that split the Chinese nation more than 60 years ago, pledging to build closer ties and work to resolve their differences peacefully.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Taiwanese counterpart Ma Ying-jeou came together on neutral ground in Singapore, walking towards one another in a packed hotel ballroom in front of a plain yellow backdrop flanked by palm trees.
“There’s no force that can separate us, because we are brothers who are still connected by our flesh even if our bones are broken. We are a family — blood is thicker than water. Today we are sitting together so that our tragic history won’t repeat itself.”
Nevertheless, Xi used the meeting to tell Ma he welcomed Taipei joining the multinational Asian Infrastructure Bank which it founded earlier this year. China had rejected Taiwan's initial application to join.

wow...
I'm ok with greed or evil... but greed and evil + inept \ incompetence
need the french solution, madam guillotine
Was mostly talking about ppl I have chopped it up w/ or know in person but no doubt both of them too. I knew about Desert Eagle. Didn't know Punch had a spot...
What would winning this war look like. What would we be fighting for?
That's a good question, honestly. The US Govt. has gone completely crazy which is why I went civvy a longg time ago. The end of Empires have always been ended by war, the latest example is the destruction of the British Empire after World War II, they marshaled all of their Empire's resources to fight that war and didn't even have the strength to keep it together afterwards and England has still never fully recovered from that war and it's almost 70 years after the fact. The United States is fighting for primacy..basically for keeping it's superpower status which benefits us, the citizenry, in a huge way. The problem is that our society has become cancerous and decrepit, we've grown fat and lazy on our own excess. The work ethic and sacrifices our folks made back then after World War II that made the nation strong..militarily, culturally and economically, does not exist anymore. Those values are being upheld more so in the nations of our rivals unfortunately and while we still have most of our military strength intact we don't have judicious leaders and a studious, aware and reasonably healthy population to back it up...That makes us very dangerous.
We don't have the manpower (most aren't fit enough) even through a draft to win a conventional war with Russia and China. Regardless what the talking heads say on here..we just DON'T. We would be attacked from both sides on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and considering that most of our forces would be engaged in theaters of war overseas, it would be up to a depletion coalition of National Guard units, Coast Guard, DHS Forces and whatever left over stationed military forces to defend the mainland. We would have no choice to preemptively target important enemy locations with strategic tactical nuclear weapons if too many of our cities get overrun..read what I just said there.
Bruh.... there will be very little if any conventional warfare.
Exactly, doesn't mean it wouldn't be tried at first.
This country has no money to go into any other war. We have been broke for many years and the military is the only (bully) thing that the govt has used to get what they want globally.
They only go places or do things for a benefit. All wars today are bankers wars and predominantly every one of them today is about oil. You will not see this military go anywhere to help anyone if there is not some financial gain for this country.

Until what?
I don't think Punch has a spot, just used to hustle and I know he up your way, dmv
shit, if it were ever to come to that, whitey got us way beat then. them duck dynasty motherfuckers been preparing for shit like this since god knows when
yep. all we gotta do is point one nuke at a target and let them know our finger is on the button. that will be enough to discourage anyone

Peter Schiff: It's going to be a 'horrible Christmas'
Fri, 6 Nov '15 | 7:00 AM ET
The Grinch has nothing on Peter Schiff.
On CNBC's "Futures Now" Thursday, the contrarian investor said that while Americans are wrapping presents this holiday season, they should instead brace themselves for "a horrible Christmas" and possible recession.
"I expect [job] layoffs to start picking up by the end of the year," Schiff said, pointing to retailers as the first victim. "Retailers have overestimated the ability of their customers to buy their products. Americans are broke. They are loaded up with debt," he said. "We're teetering on the edge of an official recession," and "the labor market is softening."
For Schiff, there is no one else to blame but the Federal Reserve. As he sees it, the central bank's easy money policies have created a bubble so big that any prick could send the U.S. economy spiraling out of control. And that makes the possibility of hiking interest rates slim to none.
"The Fed has to talk about raising rates to pretend the whole recovery is real, but they can't actually raise them," said the CEO of Euro Pacific Capital. "[Fed Chair Janet Yellen] can't admit that she can't raise them because then she's admitting the whole recovery is a sham and that the policy was a failure."
According to Schiff, the recent rally in the dollar is "the biggest bubble that the Fed has ever inflated" and "it's the only thing keeping the economy afloat." The greenback hit a three-month high this week after Yellen said a December rate hike was a "live" possibility.
"[The inflated dollar] is keeping the cost of living from rising rapidly and it's keeping interest rates artificially low. It's allowing the Fed to pretend everything is great," Schiff said. "Eventually the bottom is going to drop out of the dollar and we are going to have to deal with reality," he added. "That reality is we are staring at a financial crisis much worse than the one we saw in 2008."
Schiff, a longtime Fed foe, has been doubting a rate hike for some time. And while his predictions for a stock market and dollar crash have yet to pan out, he has maintained his stance that the Fed's hands are tied.

China's investment in Africa falls 40% in H1: MOC
BEIJING - China's investment in Africa collapsed in the first half of this year, but may remain robust in the long run, according to the Ministry of Commerce (MOC) on Tuesday.
China's direct investment in Africa stood at $1.19 billion in the first six months, falling over 40 percent year on year, said MOC spokesperson Shen Danyang.
The investment slowdown is due to the slack global economic recovery, international commodity price fluctuations and the Ebola outbreak, Shen said.
China's investment in Africa will keep growing in the long run as the country aims to invest a total of $100 billion by 2020, Shen said.
China will continue investment programs in Africa according to market potential, business environment and bilateral industrial development demands, Shen added.

This is good info.
It's all good until they get into some shit in a war torn country with 3 different sets of rebel groups. Then the politicians & business leaders get to keep all that money that was invested, Scott free.
How can we, as African Americans with only small capital, "invest in Africa"?
