Pete222, did you forget to take your medicine this morning.
by your crooked way of thinking an ex-Australian PM with a long held interest in China, exemplified for a start by his language skills, shouldn't reflect on current global dynamics unless it's brown-nosing America's failing leadership.
you'll note Rudd's comments were actually from a journal article he wrote that were then lifted and published by News Corpse.
i thought the comments gave a reasonable balanced summary of the evolving or is that escalating situation.
