Quote:

"China just ordered another 123 AL-31FNs, to be delivered over the next two years.
The Chinese claim the WS-10A is superior to the AL-31 series (AL-31, AL-31F, AL-31FN etc), even though the WS-10A copied a lot of the Russian technology.

The J-10 "was to have used Israeli electronics. But the United States leaned on the Israelis to back off making the Chinese air force too lethal, given the probability of American pilots possibly having to fight the Chinese air force some day. The Chinese developed their own avionics, based on Russian equipment. But this did not work out well. Some J-10s, using the Chinese copy of the Russian AL-31F engine, suffered from poor engine reliability. This appears to have been the cause of several accidents. At least three J-10 crashes are known, and there may be more. These accidents are rarely reported in state-controlled media.

A map in this Wiki page also shows "Liancourt Rocks," which is Dokdo or Tokto 獨島 in Korea but  Takeshima 竹島 in Japan.

(The Franco-English name of the islets derives from Le Liancourt, the name of a French whaling ship which came close to being wrecked on the rocks in 1849)

My comment: In December, 2011 Mr Lai wrote an op-ed in Asia WSJ, criticizing Pres. Ma as a dictator. I thought Lai was finished.

("赖幸媛说:'全世界已经有166个国家和地区给台湾免签证,香港政府也给世界各地170个以上(国家和地区)免签证,没有什么道理不赶快给我们台湾的民众免签证的方便。' 澳门多年来一直给予台湾访客免签证待遇")

My comment: Taiwan asks Hong Kong people to ally for visas to Taiwan. I do not think Taiwna is willing to grant visa-free priviledge to Hong Kong people; otherwise Chinese communists just come in hassle-free.
