 @pedro bundol Ummm, no. I fear that. An unstable Japan would destabilize the region and potentially plunge it into war. Jeez, cool the nationalism...

I wonder if this rise of nationalism suggests that domestically Japan is doing much worse than people realize.

How was there no protest in Benghazi at all? Does that mean all protest throughout the Muslim world were also overplayed? Seems puzzling.

I think it is awesome how Thunder uses the D-league. Most teams ignore it and most fans are ignorant about because of that. Twitter went crazy when Lamb and PJIII went down. But OKC will get last laugh when these guys develop faster than other players on good teams riding the pine .

 @MorganRock  @rainintheface Ok, so MOST of us can think rationally about it, haha.

Perhaps the major difference is that both sides can think rational about the issue and it doesn't incite nationalistic vitriol.

I feel like they should just stay away from news completely and just be like a Travel-type channel, perhaps pre-alien/ pawnshop History Channel with a China focus.

Isn't this the same argument made by the CCP (and their proponents) why their leadership style is superior to the West?

Wow, could be a bold step. But, hasn't the Washington Consensus already failed many countries?

I feel like they should target South Korean citizens hard. Koreans like to travel but like to keep the familiar (like eating Korean food when abroad). This seems like a good match for both.

Best to not shake up a hornets nest, especially when it seems likely that within our lifetimes, Taiwan will come back under mainland control. One country, three systems.
