BEFORE CHINESE AGENTS HIDE THIS O.P. LET'S COMPARE THEM TO OTHER "ALLEGED" ENEMIES

Last edited Tue Oct 28, 2014, 12:09 PM - Edit history (5)

President Putin of Russia has asked Arctic states to pay attention to the conservation of rare wildlife species, including walruses.

Russia "will build up efforts for the conservation of regional wildlife species," Putin told an Arctic forum in Salekhard. He mentioned rare whale, dolphin and bird species among others.

"Much work is being done in order to study the main symbol of the Arctic, the polar bear. We are ready to take part in the creation of a unified system for monitoring the [polar bear] population which the Arctic Council is currently doing," the Russian president said.

In fact, Polar Bears are excellent swimmers; but they are drowning, as they swim to increasingly distant ice-flows to hunt seals, because the Polar Ice Cap is melting so rapidly.

President Putin served most of his life as a KGB man.

Born in the Soviet Russian city of Leningrad (now St Petersburg), Vladimir Putin studied law and joined the KGB after graduating from a prominent university.

He served as a spy in East Germany, an experience which helped him build and maintain good relations with Berlin when he came to power. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-15047823


Like President Barrack Obama, President Putin of Russia is not extremely wealthy. Compare Putin to President Xi Jinping of China, who hides his wealth by having Chinese agents alter online content. Still, we can review other leaders in China, until they change these online news articles.

Billions in Hidden Riches for Family of Chinese Leader

BEIJING — The mother of China’s prime minister was a schoolteacher in northern China. His father was ordered to tend pigs in one of Mao’s political campaigns. And during childhood, “my family was extremely poor,” the prime minister, Wen Jiabao, said in a speech last year.

Now 90, the prime minister’s mother, Yang Zhiyun, not only left poverty behind, she became outright rich, at least on paper, according to corporate and regulatory records. Just one investment in her name, in a large Chinese financial services company, had a value of $120 million five years ago, the records show.

Unlike most new businesses in China, the family’s ventures sometimes received financial backing from state-owned companies, including China Mobile, one of the country’s biggest phone operators, the documents show. At other times, the ventures won support from some of Asia’s richest tycoons. The Times found that Mr. Wen’s relatives accumulated shares in banks, jewelers, tourist resorts, telecommunications companies and infrastructure projects, sometimes by using offshore entities.

The details of how Ms. Yang, a widow, accumulated such wealth are not known, or even if she was aware of the holdings in her name. But it happened after her son was elevated to China’s ruling elite, first in 1998 as vice prime minister and then five years later as prime minister.

Other people high in Chinese intelligence and politics also fail to embrace the Communist Ideal of "share the land" and appear to embrace an extremely bourgeois approach:

China covers up death of top official's son after he crashed Ferrari "while playing sex games with two semi-naked girls."

The Communist Manifesto explains that the reason the bourgeois exist and exploit the proletariat with low wages is private property, "the accumulation of wealth in private hands, the formation and increase of capital" and that wage labor is created entirely by competition among the workers, who share the wealth, which makes no worker more important than another worker in the Communist Party.


Meanwhile, China has another position on the environment:

Asia sends us more than just tainted manufactured goods

SINCE AT LEAST the 1990s, scientists have known that pollution from Asia travels on the jet stream, carrying black carbon, nitrous oxide, particulates, and other contaminants to North America and other places in its path. On some days, Asian-sourced pollution accounts for 20 percent of West Coast smog. It brings haze deep into the continent. And it deposits mercury into our lakes and streams. https://www.boilermakers.org/news/commentary/V53N1/US-exports-jobs-imports-pollution


In defense of China: After China has nearly destroyed the Rhino and Tiger populations worldwide because much of their population were conned into believing these animals gave men aphrodisiac qualities, The Peoples' Republic of China finally passed some laws, which are primarily ignored:

China Outlaws the Eating of Tiger Penis, Rhino Horn, and Other Endangered Animal Products https://news.vice.com/article/china-outlaws-the-eating-of-tiger-penis-rhino-horn-and-other-endangered-animal-products

I personally feel sorry for this Siberian Tiger, if Chinese profiteers do what I expect they will; but who knows? Maybe he will have a good time in China, since female tigers are so rare.

Tiger released into wild by Vladimir Putin crosses into China

A Siberian tiger released into the wild by Russian President Vladimir Putin has wandered across the Russian border and into China, according to officials.

The endangered animal, named Kuzya, was one of three tigers freed by Mr Putin in May.


Like FBI online agents, we should all become deadly serious about this last news article about China!

FBI Director James Comey sat down for an exclusive one-on-one interview with ABC News today during which Comey spoke at length about the charges announced against Chinese military officials for alleged hacking of U.S. businesses.

Asked why the United States decided to draw the line now, Comey said: "The conduct is so pervasive, and now so long-standing, that we thought it important to bring this tool to bear."

"We're not gonna stand for this conduct," he added.

Asked about the economic impact of hacking, Comey said, "The amount of theft that's going on is simply staggering."

Putin wants to save polar bears and was in the KGB.

China's prime minister is really corrupt.

China sells us dangerous crap and sends us lots of pollutants. Plus they outlawed eating tiger dicks. Not sure if this was before or after the Russian tiger crossed into China.

All introduced by a warning (?) that the NSA is about to hide this post.

OK. I'll rec this for a dollar.

There are lots of readers at DU that hate the NSA. Actually, several federal laws, which ALL NSA agents take seriously, would prevent them hiding or altering any online content. If this comment wasn't true, we would have never heard of Snowden. I am going to change the OP headline because it is untrue. Thanks for your comment. The previous headline falsely suggested that NSA agents might "hide" this Opening Post. In fact, there is strong indication that Chinese agents alter or hide online news articles, which criticize China.
