The US has raised concerns with the Chinese government about the discovery of Chinese-made weapons in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Richard Lawless, departing senior Pentagon official for Asia, on Friday said Washington had flagged the issue with Beijing. In recent months, the US has become increasingly alarmed that Chinese armour-piercing ammunition has been used by the Taliban in Afghanistan and insurgents in Iraq.

A senior US official recently told the FT that Iran appeared to be providing the Chinese-made weapons. He said Washington had no evidence that Beijing was complicit, but stressed that the US would like China to “do a better job of policing these salesâ€

Keep a very close eye on China. It was not that long ago a sea container full of Auto rifles showed up on the docks of Seattle from China. It makes me wonder how many got through undetected and who ended up with them.

Are they still coming in undetected ? Few containers are ever opened for inspection.

I live in Washington, it was not the best news I have heard . Neither are the sounds of fully automatic rifles that go off out in the sage brush in my county from time to time at night.

The first thing the President of China did when he hit the West coast was go visiting in Washington State.

Now we have the accusations against the president of Mexico by a Chinese Mexican nationalist regarding drug money. It stinks like a political herding leading into a coo attempt.

The backers look very large indeed. If you are going after a NAU it is best to own most of the countries involved. If Mexico goes down to a hand picked puppet, what is left for Canada?

They will get stiffed by a triple whammy in every deal they make .

I am in fact will to consider that we might actually see a good number of well armed illegals go back to Mexico before to long to fight in a war of their own with their American Advisors.
