I already have a free trade agreement with my local chinese takeaway. I give them ten bucks and I get all the grub I can pack into a little polystyrene container.
Sometimes I take an elastic band so that I can cram a little more in and still close the lid.
Aargh, photos!
You honestly think China has the capability to use nukes? They have the biggest Army, Navy and Airforce in the world, Im fairly sure a nuke would just piss them off. Besides, they have been collecting uranium from numerous countries since the 70's, and most their nukes have been accounted and watched over by UN members.

That's a good point. The free trade deal is a political stamp of approval for the Chinese government and the repression it entails. I know Helen Clark will say that it is purely an economic deal but in her youth the same woman was opposed to any ties to South Africa.
As to what is in it for the Chinese? Sod all money-wise but big kudos politically and diplomatically. Favourable impressions are very important in Asia and a trade connection with a liberal Western nation like NZ opens doors for them elsewhere. Plus it lends legitimacy to their regime.

Unfortunately China's history of wrongs are still being written. The communist society has a lot to answer for. It has a violent present.

what are you on about

it's not China you need to worry about, it's the third world countries that in the grip of extreme poverty whcih are being tormented by the US that you need to keep an eye on.
Personally I think China is evolving and the political enviroment, while not that flash at present, will change in the next ten years. Why not be first in the door to secures its services?

Big long threads about world stuff (Which are great, don't get me wrong) but you rarely have much else to say except little comments about waiting and seeing
