Indeed, the electronics in some Chinese systems and the quality of Chinese support in maintenance and spare parts is now considered better than that of comparable Russian systems.
Such sales also multiply opportunities for China to strengthen its military-to-military relationships with the region through the training of Latin American personnel on the Chinese systems, as well as creating a possible demand for an in-region People’s Liberation Army (PLA) military training and maintenance presence in the future…

I follow Iceland because like the Scandanavian countries it is one of the nations where the new wellness oriented policies are developing. This one is very dramatic and will change the world's economy as it is more widely adopted. I don't think it will happen in America because the banks have so many liegemen in the Congress, as Paul Krugman points out.

Icelandic government suggests removing the power of commercial banks to create money and handing it to the central bank
Some days, when I do SR by the time I am through I just feel that with the level of stupidity and greed that pervades our culture we don't deserve to survive, and probably won't. This is one of those stories.

USG went after the little people. The big people still have free reign to ignore their tax obligations and the Department of Justice seems to be actively enabling that massive criminal network. Video has more meat than the article.
