Do Pir Detectors Detect Through Windows

Japan-bashing

Auf den ersten Blick mögen Austria and China do not have too many similarities. Both countries have a different historical backgrounds, different cultures and social conditions. Actually, the difference between the two countries could hardly be greater, you might say. Yet both countries have one thing in common: the "favorite" neighboring country, which is above average most often the subject of jokes or humorous terms condescending conversations. But lags the comparison, for the China-Japan conflict is taking things a lot deeper than the Austrian Piefke complex.


amazed Since many policy observers not so bad in front of just under 2 weeks on China's roads suddenly spontaneous anti-Japan protest trains formed. The background: A chines. Fishing boat collided near the Senkaku Islands, a Japanese Coast Guard patrol boat, after which the 14 crew members and the captain of Japan. Coast Guard detained and threatened them with court action was, as it is in Japan to an unauthorized intrusion, according to Japan. Territorial waters acted.

The Senkaku Islands (Japanese, Chinese name. Diaoyutai) is an uninhabited island group in the East China Sea northeast of Okinawa. Currently controlled by Japan islands has always been ein Streitpunkt in der ostasiatischen Außenpolitk, wird sie doch gleichzeitig sowohl von Japan, China als auch von Taiwan beansprucht. Interessant wird die ganze Angelegenheit durch die Tatsache, dass die Senkaku Inseln und deren umliegende Gewässer mitten in einem riesigen natürichen Erdgasfeld liegen. Was die Sache noch komplizierter macht: die ausschließlichen Wirtschaftszonen (AWZ) von China und Japan überschneiden sich in diesem Gebiet. So weit so gut. Was sind „Ausschließliche Wirtschaftszonen“? Ganz einfach: AWZs bestimmen wer in einem Meeresgebiet vor der landeseigenen Küste in begrenztem Umfang Hoheitsbefugnis besitzt und dementsprechend das landeseigene Meeresgebiet entsprechend exklusiv wirtschaftlich nutzen darf. Als Standarddefinition der AWZ Grenzen gelten hierbei ein Radius von 200 Seemeilen gemessen vom eigenen Festland weg.

Das Problem: das ostchinesische Meer ist nur 360 Seemeilen breit, China und Japan pochen aber beide auf ihren 200 Seemeilen-Radius. Das UN-Seerechtsübereinkommen sieht in einem solchen Fall vor, dass die betroffenen Staaten selbstständig im gegenseitigen Einverständnis eine Seegrenze festlegen müssen. Bisher gab es mehr oder weniger erfolglose Versuche beider Staaten diesen Disput zu lösen.Auf der einen Seite schlägt Japan vor das Gasfeld in der Mitte zw. China und Japan aufzuteilen, doch die Volksrepublik beharrt darauf ihren Anteil nicht aufzugeben, da der Koninentalschelf von China weit in the ostchines. Sea extends, therefore, most of the gas field, according to Rule 200 miles chines. Territory is located.

As the hours following the first reports came thick and then suddenly the events when it became known that the alleged fishermen were also drilled on board and, according to Japan. Authorities wanted to prepare a hole. The chines. Government vehemently denied this and said said material was only for "repair work" before seeing what it can but sending you a pale light falling on China, as the chines. Fishing boat near one of those islands was, the closer, according to 200 nautical miles radius with Taiwan (welches wiederum von China beansprucht wird) als bei Japan liegen, sprich chines. Seegebiet ist – wovor fürchtet sich die chines. Regierung nun dann? Abgesehen von der Tatsache, dass China in besagtem Gasfeld schon seit 2003 ständig Bohrungen durchführt und Japan dadurch immer wieder aufs Neue verärgert. Nachdem man auf japan. Seite die chines. Besatzungsmitglieder sowie den Fischkutter relativ schnell wieder in die Heimat zurückgebracht hatte, wird jedoch der chines. Kapitän nach wie vor von den japan. Behördern festgehalten und offen mit Anklage bedroht, auf welche ihm – im Falle einer Schuldsprechung – bis zu 3 Jahren Haft drohen würden. Ob es zu einer Anklage kommen wird, soll bis 19. September entschieden be.


In China, it came immediately to anti-Japan demonstrations in several cities, security standard around the territory of Japan. Embassy in Beijing was powered to violent riots occurred then (yet) but do not. Nevertheless, the recent demonstrations, the most violent anti-Japan protests in China since 2005 are dar. time there was an outcry from the chines. Population than in Japanese history textbooks conducted by the Japanese so-called Nanjing Massacre at the chines. Population has been downplayed or ignored completely, which in turn, an extremely heated months-long-lasting anti-Japan sentiment and a little erfolgreichen Boykott japanischer Waren zur Folge hatte.

Obwohl sich die Beziehungen zwischen Japan und China in letzter Zeit extrem verbessert haben und die beiden Länder zu wichtigen Wirtschaftspartnern geworden sind, ist eine gewisse chines. Abneigung gegenüber dem generell in Ostasien eher verhassten Japan nicht zu leugnen. Der Angehörige des Staatsrat Dai Bingguo goss mit seiner Aussage „Japan solle eine weise politische Entscheidung treffen um die bilateralen Beziehungen der beiden Länder nicht zu beschädigen“ auch noch zusätzliches Öl in Feuer und hievte den Konflikt damit auf die nächste Ebene. Der neuliche aufgeflammte Protest passiert in einer Zeit, in der China new self-confidence has tanked. The influence of the global power affectionately as "little brother" referred to Japan in comparison to the "big brother" is actually getting smaller - and has been for some time. But not only continues to be historical but also the other day pre-pollution incidents such as the mysterious death of a Japan from China to Japan in a borrowed pandas. Zoo add to the fast growing chines. Arrogance and aggression anger a breeze added - a dangerous combination.


Japan-bashing was part of the chines. Politics has always been a popular and particularly effective in public to bring thoughts of patriotism campaigns using a common denominator, while increasing the support and loyalty among the population for the party and strengthen it. Not for nothing was given to 3 weeks at the commemoration of the 65th Anniversary of Japan. Surrender in the second World War conscious self-assured. Who China Japan from the evil. Invaders saved? not about one or two U.S. atomic bomb, but the Communist Party of China alone had done the miracle of the powerful Japanese army to fight. Of course, would never call an official of the party the masses to protest against Japan. However, who is running above mentioned distortion of history may not be Wondering if misused by the party patriotism degenerates into (Anti-japan.) nationalism on the part of the population and long term, not only the internal stability of China's society, but also threatens the economic stability of China's international influence, or at least sensitive. It would be well within the interest of the party to make use of other means to an award in its own population to get. That in times of global economic crisis, a growing real estate bubble and striking dissatisfied workers is not easy to deny, no one. Of course it is there is much more convenient again to use the anti-Japan club.


Wie lange die derzeitigen Demonstrationen anhalten wird kann man freilich noch nicht abschätzen – das werden die nächsten Tage entscheiden. Skurille Blüten treibt die momentane Protestwelle auf jeden Fall jetzt schon. Ein chines. Kosmetik- und Gesundheitskonzern hat auf seiner Website schon mal kurzfristig einen geplanten Betriebsausflug mit 10.000 seiner Mitarbeiter nach Japan abgesagt: Obwohl man dadurch Dutzende Millionen Yuan verlieren würde, würde man somit wenigsten die Ehre Chinas bewahren . Na dann…

How To Make Fresh Orange Juice

The power of the street

In recent days, China once again issue number one in all media. Not only because we now Japan as 2nd has overtaken the world's largest economy. For last two miles of traffic jams China put on everyone's lips, the latter will jam chines. According to news agencies have been even 120km long. Surprising? Not really.


First of all, a closer look at the situation to be thrown. Just like the congestion that occurred a few weeks ago and the latest 120km traffic jam was on the same highway, the G6 Jingzang Expressway instead - a prestige project der chinesischen Regierung. Denn dieser zum Teil noch in Bau befindliche 4 spurige Expressway soll in wenigen Jahren die Hauptstadt Beijing mit dem tibetischen Lhasa verbinden. Die geplante Streckenführung von mehr als 3710km ist deshalb so lang, weil die Straße nicht direkt nach Südwesten, sondern über mehrere kleine Umwege von der Hauptstadt weg zunächst nach Nordosten hinweg durch Hebei und die innere Mongolei führt ehe die Strecke durch einen Südwest-Knick durch Ningxia, Gansu und Qinghai durch letztendlich in Lhasa/Tibet endet. Momentan ist der Abschnitt Beijing-Gansu bereits fertiggestellt und in Betrieb (ein genauer Fertigstellungstermin kann aufgrund extremer vorherrschender Wetterbedingungen nicht gegeben werden) und genau in diesem Teilabschnitt is played out also said 120km traffic jam - just put in a section between Beijing and Inner Mongolia.

Why exactly there? Because were only recently discovered large coal resources in Inner Mongolia - China as the world's largest coal producer (with annual quantities beyond 1300 million tons) is extremely important. So far most of the coal was always the province of Shanxi, it is also the latest discoveries in Inner Mongolia to change anything. But in contrast to inner Mongolia we have will be driven in Shanxi, where the economy to the overwhelming majority of coal, a thing of the black gold adjusted - roads and highways were specially developed for coal transportation. In Inner Mongolia cavort daweil thousands of truck lanes on a 4 road because the construction of the G6 Expressways no one knew anything about the coal deposits in the inner Mongolian or underestimated.

-tightening has also attributed to the government reduce the years, the tax on new cars thus boosting the national car industry and to simultaneously present in times of economic crisis better numbers to. Although this had a Scheme largely from the purchase of more private cars and less on trucks, was still by the overall number of cars on China's roads increased - the auto-variable is growing in comparison to the roads variable bit faster, more and more cars have fewer and fewer own Trat Road Quad meters square. This may in such a large country like China with a sound paradoxical motorway network beyond the 65.000km, but yes, the traffic is concentrated only in urban centers. In Beijing alone, where every day 2000 car registrations (!) Take place, will be reached this weekend, the 4.5 million trades after the 4 million mark was exceeded only in December 2009, which represents an increase of half a million cars within ¾ of a year - and that in Beijing alone!

Corresponding provisions of the Beijing municipal government to make such as cars go, depending on odd or even mark a day, could not solve the problem - quite the opposite. After all, who is now a car as straight plate and had wanted to use this not only every other day, just bought a second car with odd license plates. Who can afford a car in China can also easily make a second one has not for one or two cars, the money or - There is nothing in between (keyword: scissors between rich and poor). But even in the booming financial hub Shanghai, battle against the increasing traffic, albeit with some radical methods: For in the port city is the growth of car registrations in the number of available number plates coupled. In fact, are 50 000 per year license plates available for new registrations, which are then sold at auction like the future drivers - so the city government erwitschaftet also happen to be a significant additional amount.

those looking for a chines. Highway driving is in the middle of nowhere, which mainly falls on one thing: It actually looks only trucks, what with the size of the entire country is not surprising. Under such circumstances, the chines. Government speak quite lucky that the private car traffic "only" restricted to urban areas, because between the major cities, the traffic to 90% of truck freight dominated - for the home, it is much easier in the train or plane for example Beijing travel to Shanghai (which would take in the car at least 14 hours). In this respect, China's congestion problem is largely an urban phenomenon, because the last two said highway congestion change little. For if the G6 Expressway from the beginning designed for coal transportation would have been, it would probably never come to such a dynamic and global outcry in the media - does the Shanxi coal transportation so more or less correctly.


should dismiss the whole affair as silly season is omitted then perhaps not only because of the environmental aspect. For the G6 Expressway project - just as it did several years ago, the Beijing-Lhasa railway line - is not only the development of local infrastructure (in Tibet, there is no eizige highway), but also as a demonstration of power of the chines. Central Government against rebellious ethnic minorities in the population. By looking at the plans for the expansion of the national highway system (blue: in operation, red under construction / planning) should be taught above all a message: Remote areas are as by long probe closer to the center of power shifted back and made more tangible. The dimensions of this concept are mainly of the plans for the construction of expressways Jingtai G3 - a highway with a direct link from Beijing to Taipei, Taiwan. But not only natural (a 100 km long bridge across the Formosa), but also political difficulties of this project should lead to an extremely more interesting endeavor to let it decay.

The mob came - and barked as creating on Monday this week, Thilo Sarrazin his book from Germany, "in the federal press conference in Berlin presented.

Resist the beginnings!, It is not called. The problems that arise from the lack of integration result of certain immigrants are well known. Done will not help.

Bundespräsident Christian Wulff

Ein Staatsnotar sucht Sündenböcke

Bei der Causa Sarrazin hat sich Bundespräsident Christian Wulff abermals in die Tagespolitik eingemischt. Es schien, als könnte er es gar nicht mehr abwarten, Sarrazins Entlassungsurkunde auszufertigen. Noch rätselt sein Haus, wie das vonstatten gehen könnte.

Von Georg Paul Hefty

Wulff mischt sich in die Tagespolitik ein

Bundespräsident Wulff begrüßt seinen Vorgänger Köhler und dessen Frau Eva Luise beim Empfang für the Malawian President Mutharika is saying that the personal resentment of the 51-year-old Christian Wulff, the critical immigration Statements of a book author, for he has made the integration and recognition of immigrants and their children to his political trademark - most recently with the appointment of Aygül Özkan as minister in the government of Lower Saxony, a few weeks before his candidacy for the highest public office.
It seemed as if the President is to wait no longer, made out Sarrazin discharge certificate, which purists might mistake it as coercion of glorified as independent Bundesbank. The thing is inexplicable by the fact that the Federal President's do not look like a relevant dismissal procedures could.
