Weird Chinese Military Installation Found on Google Earth. How Much Longer before the GFW Strikes?
Top: a 700m x 900m scale model of a disputed border between China and India.
Bottom: the disputed border in the model.
How many more of these will be made public before the GFW starts blocking Google Earth? Or will it even matter? As one blogger comments:
To me, that would actually seem to be an indicator of technical obselesence [sic]. With modern computers, building a model like that is easy to do… in cyberspace. The US models are all made up of 0s and 1s, not sand and dirt.
The discoveries apparently were first listed here and here. The Register has also picked it up. And just so no one thinks I’m some nutcase spying on China, I heard it on TWIT.

Talking about political incorrect jokes in the US, it is very clear that all these jokes are towards minorities, and extremely racist in nature. Like “Two wong make it white.” I am also quite surprised witnessing the widespread grassroots supports among whites for Mr. “Rush Limbo”. If you make fun of the repulsive looking, hairy, stinky, sweaty, bald, white dorks, or their religion, i.e. Ghod, the vicious fairytale and the Cheesus Crust, the whites are really mad.
Chinese needs two brain lobes to speak. This result is found by many researches conducted in Europe. Anyone who speaks the language fluently uses both brain lobes. It is a simple fact. Like playing a violin, you have trouble to learn after the age of 18, and you are unlikely to master it after the age of 25 due to a process in your brain. Not only that, research shows that people comprehend Chinese words much faster than English. It is because the concepts bypass pronunciation in reading Chinese. Do a search on BBC site with key words such as language research, Cambridge, British, Chinese, and English etc.
As for Xinjiang, imageThief used to think the way you are. Then he went there, and talked to the Uyghurs. He was frustrated. He concluded in his blog: ”the Uyghurs and the Hans have one mind.” Give your blind beliefs of the “Uyghurs”, it is outrageous for you to compare that to the US racism. It is claiming a drop of water is the sea. I understand there is profound segregation and hostility between Christian whites and all other minorities in your nation. These sentiments simply are not there in China. Just like your Ghod, things won’t be there just because you ware falsely told that they are true. I think you need to open your closed eyes, and clear your shut-up ears. Clearly, you cannot communicate with Uyghurs fluently. Your concept is hard coded in you by means of your childhood church indoctrination. This is a very good opportunity for you to bring back home some tips for better race relationship. You have so much to learn from China.

What you have just said reflects a typical and fundamental problem of western understanding of China. The problem is that you really don’t understand China.
You speak poor Chinese. Most of your views about China are indeed your prejudice. They are results of your propaganda against China in your home country. You don’t really understand what people are saying. You interpret things via invalid logic based on false assumptions.
Let’s use the example of Chinese minorities.
Do you understand, in China, if you have any relative back three generation that is related to Tibetans, Uigyhurs or other minorities, you can claim to be a minority? If you have any basic education in social science, you understand any discrimination practices are preceded by observable segregation by different groups. For example, in the US, we clearly observe black Christian churches vs. white churches, etc.
Do you understand there is simply no racial barrier or segregation in China? The Chinese culture view the world as one, its all people as one.
How ridiculous for you to claim the scientifically impossible by “your stubborn personal experience” with the Chinese minorities? Do you really understand what they are talking about? You don’t.
You don’t understand the Chinese culture and its people. You build up your logic in the States rooted in racism and segregationist mentality. You are not able to understand what is going on in China.
You are not criticizing China. You are talking nonsense.
I find your claim of my ultra-nationalist is just as absurd. We are not a big car, big burger and big flag culture. The Chinese culture is all about self-criticism. However, your devastative errors of China are ridiculous to the degree of upsetting people.
It is not just China; the westerners have very wrong ideas about most non-Christian foreign nations. Westerners think in terms of Ghod(religion) and race.
Check the following bbc news to learn how the contemporary Christian Americans are circling their territories now. The logic is exclusion and self-supremacist. The stupid really need a mirror to see their super images. The Christchain west way is clearly the way of division – http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5025158.stm

In regards to your comment, I’ll be staying at Zhejiang University, but I don’t know specifically which campus. Thanks for the compliment on my site layout, but I didn’t create the theme myself so I can’t really claim much credit.

If I did not remember wrong, the Tiananmen protest occurred decades ago. The participants were from a tiny percentage of the Chinese population – mostly naive students exploited by western conspiracy. Their then vision was proved to be unviable by the revolutions and consequential recessions in other parts of the world.
During that time, the protest was encouraged by the Chinese Central Television (CPC funded), Voice of America (CIA funded) and BBC World Service (UK funded). All programs were interrupted. All channels asked people to go out and protest.
However, it turned out that only students showed up. Other Chinese people appeared to be lukewarm about it.
There is a reason for it. The specific incidence is nothing new to China. During the Cultural Revolution era, this type of political protests occurred monthly, if not weekly. Chinese people are so tired of political revolutions.
Westerners think Tiananmen protest as something bigger than it really is. It is a direct result of the western media who knows little about China. Very few people died in the Tiananmen incidence. Indeed, more people were killed in the LA race (riot) massacre the same year.
No one remember the people in the US who sacrificed freedom and their lives for what they believed in: racial equality, and the social and political equality of all minorities. We need to remember, right now, one million blacks are locked up in over-crowed prison. They sacrificed their freedom and their lives not only for what they believed in, but also for their sons and daughters, for us, for our children and for the freedom of all Americans. The simple dream of Martin Luther King and Mumia is yet to be realized in the US. When will the US government re-evaluate the repeated LA race massacres?

Jessica, you’re a fan of Howard Zinn aren’t you?
July 31, 2006 at 1:15 pm
Oh, come on; Howard Zinn is a respectable, competent historian who went out and did something that not enough people had done before. Jessica’s a troll who goes around Chins blocks spewing garbage.

Sorry; blogs, not ‘blocks.’ Coffee time.

You mistake the desire of a people for freedom for confusion and foreign influence. The Tiananmen sq. protest was a carried out by students because they were educated and knew that the freedoms you blindly take for granted didn’t(and still don’t) exist in their country. As a Chinese American my family supported what those brave protesters believed in. After all, my family simply escaped China’s oppression, they stood up to it.
