References to post "Precedents to China Rising"


I've compiled the references to my previous post: Precedents to China Rising below.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REFERENCES:

A. Below is the list of articles I have compiled, mostly in the early 2000s, probably as a reaction to 9/11. Oh yes, around this time, and a few years later, there were heated discussion in my classes where the Chinese students were condoning the Muslim hijackers with the cliché that "America got what it deserved."

5. China targets Caribbean trade - Feb 19, 2005, CNN.Com. The link appears non-functioning at CNN, but here is a synopsis of the article still available at CNN:

China is waging an aggressive campaign of seduction in the Caribbean, wooing countries away from relationships with rival Taiwan, opening markets for its expanding economy, promising to send tourists, and shipping police to Haiti in the first communist deployment in the Western Hemisphere.
6. Finding the Real Source of Sept. 11,  Dr. Aleksandr Nemets and Dr. Thomas Torda, October 17, 2001, NewsMax.Com

Here are the first paragraphs of the Nemets/Torda article:
A month has passed since the Sept. 11 strikes. The world's focus has been on Osama bin Laden and his network -- but the connections to Russia and China exist and need more investigation.

A Chinese military handbook advised the use of civilian airline jets as "flying bombs" -- and evidence has surfaced about Russian "mafia" ties to bin Laden

8. Chinese Spies. Although I couldn't retrieve this article from the National Post, here is a list of google references when I typed in "Chinese Spies Canada"

11. China lays the 'Bush Doctrine' ahead of U.S. poll. Originally from Reuters, November 2004.

B. On a much more current note, a few weeks ago, the news channels were filled with reports of China's saber waving in the south seas:

China stages live-fire war games in South China Sea amid slow-burning territorial disputes

C. Below are recent blog posts at Our Changing Landscape on China's current relations with Canada, and with the world:
