    Where is "map" these days- What's happening in China?

    We haven't heard from him for a while.

    Let's have a report on what's going on over there.

    Who gives a phook what's happening in China. There is enough going on over here without worrying over those phookers who deliberately set this virus going.

    Map will be enjoying the upsurge in the Chinese economy and watching the fact that it will be stronger at the end of this year than it was at the end of 2019.

    I would think local people would not know of the Communist Parties plan of expansion?
    More land grabbing for China?

    The Japanese government has rejected Beijing's proposal to allow only official Chinese and Japanese vessels to enter waters surrounding the disputed Diaoyutai Islands,or Senkaku Islands. (The Senkaku Islands are an inherent part of the territory of Japan in light of historical facts and based on international law.)

    Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato said at a press conference Thursday (Nov. 26) the proposal is "unacceptable" and the Diaoyutai Islands are "undoubtedly Japan's inherent territory under international law and from a historical viewpoint." He emphasized the Japanese government will continue to take a "calm and determined" stance on the matter, reported Kyodo News.

    The Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands are a collection of five small islets and three rocks in the East China Sea, all of which are uninhabited. ... They are located about 140 km from the nearest inhabited Japanese islands, 300 km from mainland China and 170 km from Taiwan.

    Territorial disputes over the Diaoyutai Islands have been going on between Taiwan, Japan, and China for decades. Both Taiwan and Japan have claimed jurisdiction over the uninhabited islands since the 1970s, while Beijing bases its claim on the grounds that it views Taiwan as an offshore province.

    China asserts its sovereignty based on highly disputable evidence from ancient times, as well as more recent claims from 1902-39. Japan occupied the islands during the second world war and later recognised the claim of the Republic of China (now Taiwan) in a 1952 peace treaty.

    Then there is the question of China’s claim to the waters within the u-shaped “nine-dash” line. This line, which skirts the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and Vietnam, was first drawn by China in 1947. The claim had no basis in international law — then, or now.
    Australia’s statement on the South China Sea last week was its strongest rejection yet of China’s claims to the waters.
    It did not represent a new position on the legal issues, but marked a fresh determination to confront China over its unreasonable claims and its bullying behaviour in the maritime disputes.

    China certainly wants expansion, the question is when and where does it stop ?

    If China Joe takes office, we can all look forward to significantly more expansion and demands from our ever loving and tolerant CCP friends! Wait till they turn their attention to Taiwan. Do not worry the BBC and China Joe have it all in hand.

    Nobody knows what's happening in China, and certainly not foreigners living there like Map, he'll know just what they want him to know and no more.

    I can remember early in the pandemic. Map was under virtual house arrest, he was thinking of getting out but couldn't because the local airport was closed. A quick look on Flightradar showed it wasn't closed, flights were still arriving and departing from the airport Map thought was closed. He was on the ground in China, but half a world away we knew more than Map did about the true situation.

    Can't really complain though can we BT, our government, their pet scientists and media consistently feed us a diet of lies and bull**** about the efficacy of lockdowns and face masks.
