Snip: <BEIJING - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) on Sunday sought further help from China in getting North Korea (news - web sites) back to nuclear disarmament talks and aired U.S. concerns about Beijing's bellicose rhetoric on Taiwan.

As part of a two-day visit to the Chinese capital, Rice took time to attend a Palm Sunday church service at one of the city's few state-sanctioned churches. Although Rice has said the United States is not satisfied with the extent of religious freedom in communist China, she did not make that point explicit on Sunday. >

1. China will do her bidding, because Condi is a fucking rock star.

It's in all the papers.

2. Maybe they made some kind of deal

Since China owns us and all that. Maybe they made a deal that if they help with North Korea we have to help them with something. Do I feel a draft coming?

4. Yes, Probably..Will the 'dillin' include Taiwan?

3. I doubt Condi is a rock star in China. If they do the bidding, it's

because it's in their interests to stoop a neuclear war in the region. I think China looks at the US as it's cash cow now, and no more than that.

5. Probably

But why would she make this trip though? And I haven't heard anything about it on the MSM so it was supposed to be secret I think. Yahoo covered it though.

6. lecture europe about not selling weapons to china one day, then

lecture china about what they need to do in the N Korea talks. Hmmm. guess she suspects that Chinese administration will have as short an attention span as the US public.

7. Rice in China...

they don't need no stinkin' genetically modified SoS and neither do we.

8. I wonder how they feel about being lied to about Lybia?

9. Want help with North Korea? Don't interfere with Taiwan.

China head warns Rice on Taiwan
BBC News

Sunday 20 March 2005

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has held talks in China on the final leg of her six-nation Asian tour.

President Hu Jintao told Ms Rice that its new law designed to limit Taiwan's independence ambitions promoted "peace and stability in the Taiwan Straits".

Washington has opposed the move, but Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, whom she also met on Sunday, told her he hoped the US would respect the law.

The US also hopes to persuade China to help curb North Korean nuclear plans.

The Bush administration wants China to do more to force North Korea to halt its nuclear programme and come back to the negotiating table.

Ms Rice will hold more talks in Beijing on Monday....

10. Exactly

By stupidly refusing to do anything that the Clinton admistration did, the bushista decided to first ignore NK, and then to let China take the lead. China now has leverage over our foreign policy in this region and thus, our economic policy. Stupid foreign policy that will lead to a stupid outcome.

Go figure. A represive regime asking another represive regime to talk to another represive regime.

11. Ooh, now Condi feels the crack of the whip for a change.

Her crocodile smile is extra big this week.
