.I think the UK has a lot more to worry about right now than some silly name calling.

Yeah, the idea of a no deal Brexit or a Corbyn goverment both come to mind.

Unfortunately when you're in a single party dictatorship of a country you can be taken hostage at a whim. It's a pity that China doesn't care to follow the rule of law or that they trample basic universal freedoms as well. The "peaceful rise" has become "whatever it takes to keep the party in power." Western companies are starting to take notice. China has had 30 years to figure things out. If they can't get it right they're going to end up being more and more isolated.

If you want to be miserable, go ahead

Yeah, really. Christmas is what you make it.

The only wall that ever worked was the Berlin wall and that was set up as a kill zone, not a simple wall. There is no way the proposed wall will work. Huge waste of money. And while I love to watch Schumer and Pelosi look uncomfortable I don't know if it was out of embarrassment or what.

GE sold off most of it's power group to ABB earlier this year. They don't have much left at all. So Toshiba will be the biggest and what happens to the ABB sites in the US is anybody's guess.

NK can warn all they want, they have nothing to do but whine though.

yeah, I'll never get a 4k tv that will fit on my wall that is as good as a theater. It's better than it was but there's still only one way for the best movies.

Bah, if he's still in jail the whole Nissan board ought to join him.

Japan could probably do very well with unmanned fighters / drones. But in the meantime Japan has to become more independent of the USA foreign policy and needs to step up and become a world power. Japan's peaceful rise should alarm nobody.

I expect she didn't do anything that was really spying.

Peregrine falcons. A city's best friend.

Nissan just keeps making their own bad news...

Neither country can be counted as having civilized governments.

Trump? Nissan and Mitsubishi are Japanese companies, Renault is French. Ghosn isn't a US citizen. Japan has pretty much said they're going after Ghosn. Up to France to demand access for their lawyers. Hopefully Marcon will kick some Abe butt.

meh. NK has no ability to tell somebody else to apologize after all the misery they've caused their own citizens. The Kim clan has killed more Koreans than Japan ever did.

What a moron, glad they caught him. Of course he made it pretty easy....

They just keep digging that hole deeper and deeper. You wonder where the bottom is.

Chapman is the better artist IMHO.

Hard on the gas, fast on the brakes, back on the gas, problem solved!

China hasn't agreed to free anything in years and they aren't going to start now.

At least he made it home alive. I'm sure he enjoyed the rice balls too.

talking is better than fighting.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. I wonder why Mercury is shrinking.

but their tactics are laughable

And you know this how? It would seem that practice with the like minded countries to prepare to thwart the Chinese takeover is as good a tactic as it gets.

lol, one guy I knew was on the Chicago - Narita run so often he married a flight attendant. Does that count?

I can't speak to the temperament of Mr. Khashoggi but he hardly looks like a brawler. So now the Saudi's throw a bunch of people under the bus to protect the crown prince, apparently. Guess we wait and see what Trump actually does.

Yeah, unfortunately the drug OD bit is a very hot topic right now. But I'm not going to miss the show.

And yet we've got engineers with masters degrees who can't stay in the country because they're following the rules. This is some sort of bizarre publicity stunt that's just going to have the politicians playing political football with people as the ball. Immigration is easy. No felony, yes job, you, your spouse, and kids are in. Anything more complicated is politics.

.....and boar (pork) has to be frozen for a while to kill off the trichinosis parasite.

Pathetic. And a repeat of another crime earlier this year. WTH is wrong with people.
