Is this imperialism by China, a country which is supposed to be left-wing? Leftists are normally anti-imperialism. Wouldn't it be better to let Taiwan democratically decide whether they want to be part of China or not?

One sentence that fell during the Merkel phone spying affair:

Countries don't have friends, they only have interests.

Don't think of countries as people; people have morals and one direction they go. This to some of the comments here.

    I think you could argue that the five Nordic nations are pretty friendly with each other, and it's not just interests. The Nordic Council works very well. I can't think of anywhere else on Earth I could argue this though.
