your family and friends…

I'm backing China, PM tell Beinjing. According to the Guardian, British Prime Minister, David Cameron is in China again accompanied by the largest business entourage ever. He is visitingyet again this time to try to 'befriend' the Chinese in order to allow UK to enter their market and share in the Asian economic success. The PM believes that only China can bring the UK out of economic downturn. He has decided to ignore human rights abuses in China and focus instead on making friends wioth the Chinese to secure big business. At the moment, Africa is the largest and strongest partner of the Chuinese. Links between the two have gone back hundreds of years.
How things change. Years ago it was the other way round, when the west shunned the Chinese.
