China Urges US to Protect Creditors After S&P Warning
China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the United States must take
"responsible"mesure to protect investors in its debt after threatened to lower
its credit rating on the United States due to a bulging budget deficit.
"We hope the U.S. government will take responsible policies and measures to
safeguard investors' interests," the ministry said in a statement.

THIS SOUVENIRS :
Quand Mao offrait des femmes aux Etats-Unis
En 1973, le président chinois Mao Tsé-toung a fait au secrétaire d'Etat
américain Henry Kissinger une proposition pour le moins originale: envoyer des
dizaines de milliers de Chinoises aux Etats-Unis.
«Vous savez, la Chine est un pays pauvre», déclare Mao dans un document rendu
public jeudi par le service historique du Département d'Etat. «Nous n'avons pas
grand-chose. Ce que nous avons en excédent, ce sont les femmes. Donc, si vous
en voulez, nous pouvons vous en donner quelques-unes, quelques dizaines de
milliers».
(photo: Keystone) Quelques minutes plus tard, le Grand timonier revenait à la
charge. «Vous les voulez nos Chinoises?» a-t-il demandé. «Nous pouvons vous en
donner dix millions».
Après que Kissinger a fait remarquer à Mao qu'il avait «amélioré son offre», ce
dernier a alors répondu: «Nous avons trop de femmes (...) Elles font des
enfants, et nous avons trop d'enfants».
«C'est une proposition tellement neuve. Il va nous falloir l'examiner», a
répondu Henry Kissinger au cours de son entretien avec Mao à Pékin.
OUR CONCLUSION :
DATA ANALYSIS : WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE CHINESE ARE EQUALLY SMART LIKE THE
KISSINGER'S GROUP.
HENRY KISSINGER IS CONTINUING TO PLAY PAWN GAME WITH CHINA SINCE THE DAY HE
NEGOTIATED WITH CHOU-MAO IN 1970.
HENRY KISSINGER REMAINS IN THE SHADOW, BEHIND EVERY MOVE OF THE OBAMA'S
ADMINISTRATION VIS A VIS CHINA
TIM GEITHNER ,SOROS, BREZEZINSKI AND KISSINGER ARE FROM THE SAME GROUP OF WALL
STREET BANKERS THAT SOLD US SECURITIES TO CHINA.
PRESSURE TO PUSH CHINA, FRANCE , OTHER COUNTRIES TO ABANDON US DOLLAR AS
RESERVE CURRENCY COME FROM THE KISSINGER'S SAME GROUP.
AS OF TODAY CHINA HAS WON THAT GAME , BUT FOR HOW LONG ?
3. CAMBODIA-US :
VIS A VIS CAMBODIA , THE KISSINGER'S GROUP HAD THIS SLOGAN " CAMBODIA MUST
PERISH"Kissinger played a key role in a secret bombing campaign in Cambodia, as
well as the 1970 Cambodian Incursion and subsequent widespread bombing of
Cambodia. The bombing campaign contributed to the chaos of the Cambodian Civil
War, which saw the forces of dictator Lon Nol unable to retain foreign support
to combat the growing Khmer Rouge insurgency that would overthrow him in 1975.[
KISSINGER SOLD OUT CAMBODIA TO THE COMMUNIST IN 1975.
FOR US, THE KHMER PEOPLE , WE SEE IN HENRY KISSINGER ?
A CRIMINAL , A ZIONIST JEW , THE MASS MURDERER OF 600 000 CIVILIAN CAMBODIAN
DURING THE 14 MONTH OF SECRET BOMBING IN 1969 AND THE AMERICAN INVASION OF
APRIL 1970.
HENRY KISSINGER'S GROUP IS NOT LOYAL TO AMERICA EITHER. HIS GROUP IS PART OF
THOSE WHO ARE DISMANTLING AMERICA.
HE IS THE AMERICAN ENEMY FROM WITHIN , THIS DANGER FOR CHINA AS WELL THE WHOLE
WORLD .
His GROUP , the george soros group , IS WORKING TO DESTROY THE US DOLLAR AS
RESERVE CURRENCY , AND CHINA IS FEELING STRONLY the danger NOW as THE
CONSEQUENCES.
"China's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the United States must take
"responsible"mesure to protect investors in its debt after threatened to lower
its credit rating on the United States due to a bulging budget deficit. .
CAMBODIA MUST BE RESTORED AS AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY TODAY.

Educated are Cambodia's 'critical mass'
A. Gaffar Peang-Meth
My email box has been flooded with messages. Some made me smile. Two
hard-hitting messages from Cambodia made me look for some spiritual balance. A
friend from a different continent who used to discuss with me the value of
education wrote, after reading my columns, about the necessary "critical mass"
needed to catalyze change.
I combined all three messages to writing this column.
It's no revelation that if we want to look for something in a person or a
regime, negative or positive, we can find it. And we can be sure that there are
supporters and critics of any position: A thesis is followed by antithesis.
Opposites are a fact of life -- the yin and the yang
I have written about alleged bribes demanded by instructors at Cambodia's
universities, but an email from a reader in Cambodia, most likely from a
teaching circle, reported also on corrupt practices among primary and secondary
school teachers in his area. The writer reported that teachers extort money
from students in return for one thing or another. The reader was livid, saying
the "authorities concerned" know but do nothing: "I fear if these practices are
ingrained in the culture of corruption, the young Cambodian generation will be
severely affected in thoughts and behaviors."
Another email, under the rubric, "Cambodian people are living in starvation,
except corrupt officials," reads: "Millions of times, millions of words from
officials, millions of promises and of plans, but nothing has changed: The rich
become richer, the poor become poorer. ... I saw people in my village ...
including my parents, go hungry because they can't pay the loans from banks
and financial institutions, and are forced to sell their lands and their homes.
Some decided to go to Thailand for work. My parents and their neighbors used to
live without worries, but now they are miserable. At each election, money was
waved in their faces, they needed the money, they voted for the money."
On April 6, I quoted a Cambodian reader's email about the "visible hardware" --
the new buildings, bridges and roads which led 76 percent of respondents in a
survey to cheer about progress and development under Premier Hun Sen, as
opposed to the lack of much-needed "software" -- informed citizens and
critical thinkers. The reader charged that Cambodia's "strong culture of
suspicion and
mistrust will cripple society even deeper into a passive coma." He lamented,
"Even many of the young are now in this unfortunate trend."
Of course, I expected supporters of Premier Hun Sen to vociferously denounce
the authors of the emails above. Yet, even Hun Sen agreed that 35 percent of
Cambodia's populace live below the poverty line, and rights groups continue to
accuse government officials of stealing the nation's resources for personal
gain.
Critical mass
In physics, a "critical mass" refers to necessary amount of fissionable
material to maintain a chain reaction at a constant rate.
Buddha's truth of the inevitability of change means that at a certain point or
time or situation, change occurs, and that "something" must reach a certain
level, amount or size, and then it will unleash an activity or event that will
change the status quo. Thus, the water that is hot at 211 degrees boils at 212.
It produces steam; steam yields energy.
My friend reminded me: You need a "critical mass" to bring about change, sustain
it and render it long-lasting. Amen.
As I examined statistics compiled by the United Nations Children's Fund, I saw
vicious circles that should drive conscientious citizens to coalesce to create
that critical mass. UNICEF reported Cambodia's net secondary school enrollment
for 2005-2009 for males at 36 percent and females at 32 percent -- a net
secondary school enrollment ratio of 34 percent.
This refers to students who are actually enrolled in school. How many of them
actually attend (Cambodia's schools are open only a few hours per day) or how
many actually graduate from secondary school are different problems.
Though unlikely, let's assume that 90 percent of young Cambodians who are
enrolled in secondary school do graduate. That's only 90 percent of the total
34 percent enrolled.
To develop quality thinking to contribute to Cambodia's development and
progress, we should want to know how many graduates go on to university. Let's
assume that half of the graduates (which is, again, very unlikely) go to
university. Statistically, half of the 90 percent of the total enrollees of 34
percent yields about 15 percent who may go to university. Of course, not
everyone of those who go to university graduates, but let's say 70 percent do.
This would yield about 10 percent of a certain age group who might be
considered educated.
This is hardly a "critical mass" to bring change to Cambodia.
No room for despair
Even if the Hun Sen regime returned all the dollars from theft of national
resources to the education pot, it would take a long, long time before young
Cambodians' secondary school net enrollment would move from the current dismal
34 percent of eligible students to even 80 percent, which might be the
percentage that would create the catalyst to foment meaningful change.
Until then, Cambodians will have to rely on the handful of educated individuals
and independent non-governmental organizations -- a small "critical" group to
swim against the current to inspire the young ones in the face of corruption,
violations of rights and freedom, to want to go to school, to stay in school,
to graduate.
They are the "critical mass" needed to effect the change!
