Ok. What do you think about the remarks made by Prince Charles?

From: The Daily Mail

His journal - entitled 'The Handover of Hong Kong - or The Great Chinese Takeaway' - described a group of Chinese at one ceremony with then-president Jiang Zemin as "appalling old waxworks". The display was characterised as an "awful Soviet-style" performance, with "goose-stepping" soldiers carrying out a "ridiculous rigmarole".

What did he expect? A couple of blokes meeting up at the pub and handing over the keys?

They [The Daily Mail] must have been waiting for Dr. Who's [as Hu is known affectionately among his comrades] visit to let loose this damp squib.

Even the SUMP could only find an old codger like Wu to make a feeble attempt at an assinine retort

"Raymond Wu Wai-yung, a local deputy to the National People's Congress, did not believe the alleged remarks would damage Sino-British ties."

He could not even muster enough spleen to end with "Sino-British bowties"

ho hum

I'm not polictical at all but tbh who cares about this crap? China was once a poor country but its growing so fast its scarying Bush and telling others to take note.

WWIII will happen when US cant handle their cheap tee shirts nemore and nukes their factories. Its a sick world we live in today and it will only get worst.

Well, at some point you expect world leaders to behave a little bit better than school kids.

Hmm, need I bring up George Bush? You expect too much from these guys...

How did we get from a prince tittering over some goose steppers to Dubya thumping?

No matter after this, we can add moonwalking to W's list of shortcomings

Really? But then mankind might progress and that would never do... Tut tut tut


As for Prince Charlie, he's obviously inherited his fathers 'tact' for diplomacy

Weeeeell
I was merely pointing out that one can blame GWB for everything from a handover before he was prez to a countryman getting it on with Queen Latifa in the UAE.

in fact blame this fool on him as well[see pic]
