What just happened in China?
 

Maybe a possible coup has been nipped in the Bo....I mean bud? :D

I'm envious, I want a coup! :D

de Ville? :hmmm:

Nope :up:

There was a coup in Mali today

Impressive, I think Bo has been under watch for a while now, but to get the head of the Internal Security on his side...

The strains of the unique Chinese blend of Communism and Capitalism vs the shadow of Mao are starting to show...

I wonder where Geng stands on this... :hmmm:

The sad thing is that Mali could have a dozen coups and nobody would even glance at a globe to see where it is.

Just a rumor of one in China however...

Deuce? :DL

From what I can see, it looks like this is a move by Hu Jintao to make sure that Bo Xilai doesn't get onto the Standing Committee, where he could well have implemented a coup with the backing of Zhou Yongkang who controls the state security forces.
The final piece in the puzzle which has enabled them to move against Bo was the Wang Lijun affair. Now the CCP elders can shunt Bo off his career path, and take the oil monopoly from Zhou.
It's a classic Communist power struggle, and a sign of the times that news of it has leaked out to the public. :yep:
Hopefully this incident will put the Maoists back, the PRC really doesn't need another Mao in power, nor does the world. :dead:

Watch out, for those freshly dug ditches, 3,000 people that's a mighty long ditch, comrade. coupe de grau

Is this going to have any effect on the price of i-pads?:D

The PRC is a mighty long country...3000 holes is a drop in the earth.

They could just extend the great wall a little further. According to Hollywierd that's where they stash the corpses of their enemies anyways. :DL

I wonder if they call them fema camps like we do here.:woot:

Did you escape from one yubba surely FEMA would target a man as rebellious as your self to the US Government as a subject for FEMA camp re-education.

heck the marine corps didn't like my atitude either, but still got my Honorable, got to see freinds die, at the hands of Hamas, and I am the only marine to ever get court martial___ed [spell check guys ] for shoot-ing to well . I should be hide-ing with you in your moms basement seems to be a safe place. No I'm not rebellious what should I be rebellious about we aren't a commie state, I just won't comply, when the government decides to turn commie then there will be a problem, Semper Fi did I mention I hate commies.

I don't believe you did...please elaborate...

Yubba shoots really well, friendly fire incidents sparked off by him have a 100% accuracy rate:O:

i have to say, most chinese people hate communism more than you. The country is much more capitalist than the the US or Canada.

Mind you, modern China is Ayn Rand's wet dream. It is the ideal objectivist society.

commies are no good lazy back stabbin want something for nothing, snail track snot sucken, low life sob's that should be shot a$$ backwards into the sun, how's that.
