Tensions between the two most populous countries totaling about one third of world inhabitants were ratcheted up a notch this week, with no resolution in sight. Indian Prime Minister Singh strongly objected to China’s new and ongoing commercial projects in Pakistan and the disputed territories it controls in Kashmir. Within a wider context from China’s point of view, this is only one more step towards total domination of Central Asian natural resources and industry, highlighted by China’s monopolies on most such resources in Afghanistan, to NATO’s and the U.S.’s great dismay…

Warning: the following is not for the weak at heart or those easily excitable by all things military. Chinese annual military expenditures have increased 230% since 1998 (guess how this compares to the U.S.), among other freaky facts about national military expenditures around the world…

It is beyond moronic to call any war “serious,” as General McChrystal did in his briefing. Is any war not serious? Was the Afghan war some kind of children’s game before now, and has suddenly become a “serious” matter worthy of adult attention?

‘Green race’ must now be added to the notions of ’space race’ and ‘arms race’: global competition between nations and their associations for supremacy in environmentally sound technology. China, Japan and Korea will unite in a pledge to cooperate to become worldwide leaders in green tech next month, opening possibilities for other kinds of beneficial ‘races’ to come…

If measuring corruption is the first step towards reducing it, then a comparative index of corruption is at least the next three, as the Corruption Perceptions Index makes clear. Why?
