China Exchange?

[Military Brat]

Taiwan is only sovereign in theory and has yet to actually declare said independence. China still sees Taiwan as part of the motherland(even the USA sees Taiwan as part of China), many people in Taiwan are pushing for independence. Hong Kong and Taiwan are in similar situations, they view themselves as indepentents of China yet the head honchos in Beijing seem unwilling to budge on their stance that China will remain unified. A couple years back, the Chinese government put out a document outlining 3 reasons why mainland China might move to take forcful actions against Taiwan. Among the reasons - Taiwan declaring independence (which as stated hasn't happened).

Greetings from Big River Saskatchewan, where the mosquitos are as mad as one could ever immagine! Yes its raining, and where is the summer weather? Nancy and I are sure enjoying ourselves, and are off to Marean Lake later today. Now back to the topic......

There is a large population of Asians in Australia (only in the cities, and of those Sydney), and yes the majority work hard, but with a large population comes the crime, and with that the culture and the gangs. Mostly hardcore heartless ruthless types who murder on a whim).

Ther are many 'old hat' Chinese here who established roots here in the 1800s like back in Canada, and I have many friends of Chinese heritage, and are just as Australianised as anyone else, so dont go swinging the race card here. They are proud and hard working as SB says.

Sydney has established the Asian Crime Unit which targets the ever growing sex slave trade (prostitution is legal and brothels are rampant in illegal aliens), hard core drugs, illegal credit card manufacturing, counterfitting, extortion, home invasions, gunrunning and othe crimes.

Sad fact, but the majority of these crimes are ethnic related, and it has become out of control with entire suburbs such as Cabramatta (Vietnamese), and Hurstville (Chinese) going totally Asian, with the Australian culture taking the back seat.

Other ethnic crime includes Vietnamese (drugs) South Korean (known for their gang's standover tactics), Russian (drugs and money laundering), and Lebanese (drugs and illegal car trades) cultures, and suprisingly only a few Aussie bike gangs come close. It seems like Australians of Northwest European heritage are even being forced out of traditional crime too.

As for our friend Lee, I for one dont believe he is a PRC soldier.

Again, my 2 cents worth.

...and we will send back all those criminal's you have sent us.

Criminals...? As far as I know immigrants from China and other South Asian countries are the most honest, hardworking and skilled people Canada receives these days.

Smoothbore, no one is disputing that there are many hard working Asians in Canada. But you are out to lunch if you insist that a criminal element hasn't also come in along with those hard-workers. Asian gangs are a very definite problem in Vancouver, Calgary, and Edmonton.  I'm not sure about the other major centres in Canada, but the police departments in each of these cities have dedicated task forces just focused on Asian gangs and crime.  Why would that be the case if they were all "the most honest, hardworking and skilled people"?  It's the same deal with any ethnic group.  You will never get a 100% hard working, law abiding group.  There will always be some bad apples.

As for an exchange,how about sending us some good,honest,hard working people who will respect our laws and we will send back all those criminal's you have sent us.

Criminals...? As far as I know immigrants from China and other South Asian countries are the most honest, hardworking and skilled people Canada receives these days. I live in Toronto, I can tell you which people are lazy, pretensional and often turn to crime.

By honest I think smoothbore meant to the people buying the drugs, hardworking as in they will go any length to make a deal and I'm not sure about the "skilled people" bit - growing/selling drugs isn't a higher education trade.

I think everyone should be aware that criminals come in all sorts of race, culture, religion, sex, age, etc. They are just bad people and we should not assuming everyone else that looks like them as the same. This is how steriotypes get started I think. Think of all the Asian people that you know, did you ever assume that s/he knows kung-fu?? whoaaaa!!
