PATTAYA and China - the new bilateral era

 I read with interest that the Japanese found that some 'Chinese surveillance ships' were cruising around their islands. They seemed somewhat worried about this and that reminded me of something that we had noticed on the beach a couple of nights ago. Although most likely of similar importance and of strikingly similar appearance, no single news agency reported anything about it so here we go.
The story from Reuters ran something like this "Six Chinese surveillance ships entered waters near disputed islands claimed by Tokyo and Beijing on Friday, raising tensions between Asia's two biggest economies to their highest level since 2010 over a long-running territorial row. . . " Well in the local Pattaya story although not concerned with 6 foreign bodies in their waters, there were 4 of these wet surveyors. The story went on about the tensions and human rights abuses (not dissimilar to us here in Pattaya really but that's another story), just to lead to Japanese citizens being mistreated or at least facing mortal danger from China. 

Well that's were the stories differ in a long way. The local Chinese on Pattaya Beach at 1 AM seemed quite nonthreatening (unless you are one of those 100% no nudity freaks from some hicktown in ....). Just the opposite, to the casual observer they seemed to be having the time of their lives, no human right abuses here. But what did they do swimming in the middle of the night near the doughnuts on Pattaya Beach road?  Did they jump ship from one of those surveillance ships of the coast of Japan and swam all the way here? Were they the first wave of invaders and just stripped off their scuba gear? Did they miss their tour bus and in the absence of someone telling them what to do just decided to go back to just having a good time? Where did they have their clothes, did they sell them to support their Whiskey habits? I am still not sure if the guy raising his hand high in the air is trying to threaten us and wants to show his superiority or whether he's just a happy little ducky away from his days work at the factory. I suppose Romney would call this some sort of invasion and would condemn their blatant ignorance of local standards by flaunting their semi-naked bodies on beach road at night. I myself felt it quite refreshing to see people on the beach at night that aren't trying to sell drugs, bash, pickpocket or are trying to extort money from me.

So in the absence of Terrorists, the Russian enemy picture having dissolved into thin air, and no clear evidence of invading Aliens (currently) we need a new enemy picture - lets make it the Chinese. They destroyed the US and all other world economies (it wasn't greedy bankers or the capitalist attitude of 'money talks - shit walks'), they want to control all of us and will probably eat our children once they have full control. 

Not sure how I got here but it sounded good when I started :)
