Energy-hungry China breaks ground in Middle East

Posted by Matt in November 30th, 2006

China is striving to build economic and political ties in a region which the International Energy Agency expects to supply 70 percent of its oil imports by 2015, but in doing so it risks antagonizing its key trading partner, the United States.

For China woos U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia with the same fervor it uses to court Iran, Syria and Sudan — all at odds with the West and seen by Washington as “sponsors of terrorism.”

	Suicide bombing targets Chinese in Hub, Pakistan Chinese construction workers escape unscathed but at least 30 Pakistanis die in attack near Karachi's port July 18, 2007: Pakistan is promising to step up security in the wake of recent violence aimed at Chinese nationals as China increases its economic and military ties with the Musharraf government. Today, a convoy of Chinese construction workers was attacked as it made its way out of the region, known as Baluchistan in southwest Pakistan. Fears for their safety grew after three Chinese workers were killed in northern Pakistan near Peshawar on July 8. Several Chinese women were also kidnapped and later released by Islamic militants during Islamabad's Red Mosque crisis. An estimated 2-3000 Chinese work in Pakistan as the two countries forge strong links under a free trade agreement.... Tags: bombing, news, pakistan, raw, suicide, therealnews

	Chinese Traditional Music-YangQin扬琴：将军令 The trapezoidal yangqin (simplified Chinese: 扬琴; traditional Chinese: 揚琴; pinyin: yángqín) is a Chinese hammered dulcimer originally from the Middle East (Persia (modern-day Iran)). It used to be written with the characters 洋琴 (lit. "foreign zither"), but over time the first character changed to 揚 (also pronounced "yáng"), which means "acclaimed". It is also spelled yang quin or yang ch'in. Hammered dulcimers of various types are now very popular not only in China, but also Eastern Europe, the Middle East, India and Pakistan. The instruments are also sometimes known by the names "santur" and "cymbalom". Some music scholars support the theory that the Chinese dulcimer, yangqin was developed within China itself, devoid of all foreign influence. These historians state two...

	Will Democracy Work in the Middle East? - Larry Diamond Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/05/07/Larry_Diamond_on_The_Spirit_of_Democracy Stanford political science professor Larry Diamond discusses the Bush Administration's approach to democracy promotion in the Middle East, and examines barriers to further democratic reforms in the region. ----- Larry Diamond discusses the recession of democracy and its role in developing countries. Diamond contends that although more than half of all countries are now democracies, recent efforts to promote democracy around the world have faltered. These stumbles have constituted, Diamond maintains, a very serious threat to freedom. In a bold vision for the future, Diamond explains that the desire for democracy runs deep, even in very poor countries, and proposes that entrenched regimes like Iran...
