Is Chinese granite quarried by slaves under the control of the Chinese army?

Yes. China and North Korea both have huge work camps for political prisoners.\n\n\npeace

No and why would they? America had companies that slave labored their people and polluted the land. They then abandoned the Mexicans for Chinese Communist workers at half the price they paid the Mexicans.

The Japanese were taught that the Chinese were inferior to them.  They were taught that the Chinese were less than human.  The Japanese brutalized their soldiers during training.  In brutalizing their own soldiers they taught them to be brutal.

I don't think so. And it was the Army, not the national guard. Some Russians liberated them as well!

Your hypothesis is plausible, but consider this.  They are a nation of 1.5 billion consumers that gives them some degree of power.  They have the potential of having the world's largest army.  Finally, the communist government is allowing free enterprise in the southern provinces.\n\nAs far as solving their problems peacefully, they have had a civil war since the cultural revolution.  Your research should have clued you in one the ethnic cleansing during the reign of Moa Tse Tung.  Regarding wanting people to immigrate.  If that is true, why do they have the one child mandate?  Is not overcrowding a major problem there?

Exactly who sold the slaves to the yanks?? (yep)\n\nIn what country in the world are non pale faces better off?\n\nI respect your people as a people and it makes me sick when I see a Bling loaded scum rapper degrade all!

Australia, China sign uranium safeguards, export deals - \n\n  \n \n(Updating to add quotes) \n\nCANBERRA (AFX) - Australia and China have signed a landmark nuclear safeguards pact, opening the way for massive exports of uranium to fuel China's booming nuclear power industry. \n\nThe agreement on 'co-operation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy' was one of eight co-operation deals signed in the presence of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and his Australian counterpart John Howard, Agence France-Presse reported. \n\nAustralia is the world's largest source of uranium, with nearly 40 pct of known reserves, and today's agreement is worth billions of dollars to the country. \n\nAustralian officials said the nuclear deal would lead to exports of 20,000 tons of uranium to China per year -- double Australia's current exports of the radioactive material. \n\nBut they said the shipments would not start before 2010 since Australia's current production of uranium is already committed in existing contracts and it will take time to expand output. \n\nEnvironmental groups including the opposition Greens party have challenged the deal, saying that Australian supplies of uranium would permit China to divert more of its domestic production of the material to its nuclear weapons program. \n\n'Australian uranium will support Chinese nuclear weapons either directly or indirectly because China does not have enough uranium to support both,' said Greens Senator Christine Milne. \n\nBut Wen insisted China would honor the safeguards pact and its responsibilities under international atomic energy and non-proliferation treaties. \n\n'We believe these safeguard mechanisms will ensure that the nuclear co-operation will not be used for non-peaceful purposes,' he said during a joint press conference with Howard. \n\nHoward also said he was 'satisfied that the safeguards that are there will be enforced'. \n\nWen and Howard both hailed the burgeoning relations between their nations. \n\n'I feel that China-Australia relations have never been as good as they are today,' Wen said. \n\n'There are no issues left over from history and there are no cultural matters standing in the way of our bilateral relations,' he said through an interpreter. \n\nHoward said the nuclear and other commercial deals signed today highlighted the rapidly developing relationship between Canberra and Beijing. \n\n'Of all the important relationships that Australia has with other countries, none has been more greatly transformed over the last 10 years than our relationship with China,' Howard said. \n\nOther agreements signed by Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing and Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer covered initiatives to expand exchanges in areas of science, sport and culture. \n\nWen said the two governments also agreed to step up negotiations on a free trade agreement, though he said this would take a number of years to complete.

This is the result of a long process of sinicization of the world. China has always been regarded as aggressive, therefore, 2/5 of its territory is occupied after the communist regime, break-away taiwan is another proof of the communist regimes stance. Tibet, Xinjiang (East Turkistan) Inner Mongolia are a few among those who are not of yellow races, accordingly, not Han Chinese (ghuo). they are Tibetan buddhists, Turkic Uyghurs or Mongols. Huis are another one represented as a star on the chinese flag. I am afraid political leaders and officials are not well-aware of this policy. They only care for money, capital investments, but not capital punishment, gross human rights abuses committed by the communist regime.

And you are so much better than they are by stating these things in this crude manner in an open forum?\n\nDo you have the proof to back these allegations up with or is this just your opinion on how things are in China?

No, they cowtow to the Chinese Communists in China.  They self-censor to please the Communists.

They can have either, especially as both have been dead for decades.\nPerhaps, someone new would help.\nYour first answerrer raises an even bizarrer concept of asking you to speak to an 'older' Chinese person regarding Lao-tse, Confucius et al, and that Chinese person would have to be about 4000 years old. Good luck in finding one that old, but the current communist government does stay within the confines of Confucian guidance on the behaviour of the state. As for Lao, well that's the shaolins job.

Who knows.  But it's a really funny thought!\n\nI'm sure they mess up sometimes with chinese writing so that would probably happen for them too.  Instead of getting 'will power' tatooed on them, it accidently turns out as 'white power'.

The most difficult part of assessing these sorts of things is that if you haven't been there and seen it yourself, you really don't know what is being observed. As long as there are no facts to confuse the issue, the imagination is free to run wild. \n\nI've read about the Bimini Road before, and find it very plausible that it could be a natural deposit of broken up beach rock. In that depostional environment it is common for the seabed to form hardened layers that can be broken up by a storm and might resemble large flagstones.  As a geologist, it seems to me that the most obvious way to prove that Chinese sailors dumped these rocks is to sample the rocks and determine if they are allocthonous- that is from somewhere else (like China??). Since no one seems willing to present this sort of evidence, the claims don't seem to be scientifically supported.\n\nThe Yonaguni Island  is actually more interesting to me, although I see a dangerous assumption being made by anyone saying these are ten thousand years old. The website is very vague about the water depth, but it appears these may be in only 20 feet of water. That would make it possible for these to be man-made and only be a few thousand or even a few hundred years old. The area of this island is quite active tectonically, and subsidence could have only been within the the last millenium. Dr. Schoch also reports that all of the seemingly shaped rocks are part of bedrock, that is there are no large blocks of stone that would help prove these are manmade. He also reports similar styles of weathering of the local rock on some beaches on the island, so the whole thing could still be naturally formed. Again, there are geologic methods that could probably be used to prove how long these rocks have been submerged, and the fact that no one seems to be trying to prove anything here makes me suspicious that there is nothing to prove; that it is much more profitable to keep generating controversy that makes for good tourism and dive attractions. \n\nTo see how the rock could be tested to determine when it was submerged this could be employed:\n(I quote)\n\n "Burial dating:\nIf a quartz-bearing material accumulates 26Al and 10Be while exposed at the surface and is subsequently buried deep enough that it is completely shielded from cosmic rays (e.g. by deposition in a cave, sedimentary deposit, or deep water body), then the 26Al/10Be ratio will diminish over time, recording the time since burial, according to (Granger and Muzikar, 2001) "\nfrom\nhttp://web.ges.gla.ac.uk/~dfabel/CN_explain.html\n\nSo as a geologist, I remain a skeptic because the parties who have made these discoveries are not attempting to prove scientifically that the evidence is real, for whatever reason.
