Jigong and I are very good friends. We are like the Siamese twins. We know each
other's mind. You should have noticed that both of us post from Singapore.

I never claim that they amount to nothing. pls. don't put words into my mouth.

China has been largely peaceful in the past 16 years even though many from the west
have been trying hard to stir up Tibet, Xinjiang ,Mongolian and Taiwan issues.
Compare this with Chechnya in Russia, Kashmir in India and Pakistan, Tamil Tigers
in Sri Lanka, the Moro in Southern Philippines, Muslims separatists in southern
Thailand, East Timor in Indonesia, etc. you can't deny that the Chinese leaders
have been handling the issues rather well.

What ever you may like to call the group is up to you (or who ever are involved).
The fact remains that there is no such place called "East Turkistan" in any world
map available in the market.

The fact also remains that the group o people referred to have claim publicly that
they were not involved in the incident.

There are about 1,300 millions Chinese world wide. About 1,000 millions of these
Chinese can read and write Chinese Language. It is still about 20 % of the world
population.

It is OK to have dreams and be aware that what you have are nothing more than
dreams. However, there are many people out there who try in one way or other to
'force' others to believe that their dreams are realities and that others must
accept their dreams as the only paths to success.For those who are blinded by such
claims, they will wake up ( or continue with the dreams?) with the shock of their
life, eventually.

I have long awaken from my dreams. I am a pragmatic person. I look at practical
examples, not theoretical ones, in deriving my conclusions. With this in mind, I
post facts about actual events and situations all over the world to support my
view/conclusion.

It is only those who continue to indulge in beautiful mirages would one day have
their dreams turned into nightmares!
