The greeks have been demanding the same for years. Egypt, etc etc ...

But China is coming into a position of power capable of exerting pressure, whereas Greece and Egypt aren't there.

A lot of the present kerfuffle between China and Japan is related to to the Japanese occupation of China in the years leading up to WWII.

It also unites the Chinese people against former enemies recalling memories of humiliation that demand retaliation. Payback coming as China get stronger economically and militarily.

This stokes nationalism and turns attention away from domestic issues that divide.

They are well within their rights in doing so…

…plunderers should not escape without consequences.

The U.S. has a lot of I.O.U.'s held against it. That is a problem for our descendants going forward.

It's a matter of justice.

Of course, this is what Galteri and Vilela did in Argentina from 1976 up until the Falkland war.

The Falklands was a smokescreen to cover up what they were doing internally - singling out leftists, school teachers, jews, and others and they are now the missing and their children became orphaned to dictator families who could not bear children due to age or just right wing reasons.

And the British saved both the leftist Argentine from the right wing paramilitary dictators AS WELL AS the right wingers from their own right dictators.

Kudos for Britain and may they keep the Greek loot until Greece finally gets it's pollution under control just like China.

Remember Kissinger ramped up the Argentine right wing juntas and gave them a green light ... though he might not have gave them signal to do what they did which included singling out .... fill in the blank.

ATTENTION :

CHINA IS SMOKE SCREENING THE WORLD DUE TO IT'S INVOLVEMENT WITH IRAN.

IRAN WAS HELPED BY GERMANY, RUSSIA, AND CHINA IN BUILDING THE NUCLEAR REACTORS.

MANY INDIAN COMPANIES ALSO DO BUSINESS WITH THE REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS OF IRAN.

JUST LOOK UP "INDIAN PIPE MILL SUPPLIES IRAN NATIONAL GAS AUTHORITY" ON GOOGLE AND SEE ALL THE PIPE COMPANIES WHO SELL TO IRAN.

THEN LOOK AT THOSE INDIAN PIPE MILLS AND NOTE THAT THEY ARE IN TEXAS, MISSISSIPPI, AND ARKANSAS JUST WHERE THE UNIONS ARE NOT.

THIS SHOWS THAT THE UNION STEEL PROTECTS AMERICA IN THAT UNION STEEL IS PATRIOTIC ENOUGH NOT TO SUPPLY IRAN AS PER TREASURY AND DEPT OF COMMERCE SANCTIONS.

CHINA IS SMOKE SCREENING AND WE'VE TAKEN THE BAIT AND LOOKED THE OTHER WAY !

China is more of a civilization than a nation.

Historically they may not have had immediate responses to the transgressions of foreign devils, however, they do not forget.

The maturation and patience that comes with 6.000 years or so is real and the cheques that they hold, will be cashed.

So, how about the Middle Class demanding restitution for the priceless Output diverted and trashed by the moronic 1%?

Just declare that our supposed National Debt is Class War Reparations owed to the Middle Class?

Kinda like that idea.

I hope they cash their checks since they are denominated in usd and dropping the money is very stimulating....
