This means war
Or at the very least, a trade embargo
Having said that, I am unsure as to how a full trade block between myself and Chine will effect them, or me for that matter.
Just got a pretty funny text from DCU Saints head coach Dave Rothwell. It said, simply;
Visitors from all over our little world, just none from China
How should I take this affront? Obviously a military engagement would be tricky. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, China was left with the largest conventional military in the world by some distance. A trade block? I played that one out on a notepad. The effects of an all out trade block between me and China would be as follows;
My options would appear to be limited. Military action, trade block are out as viable options. Jack Bauer is probably busy. I guess I will just have to settle for the fact that my blog is blocked in China, and that's pretty funny

'Your blog is blocked in China'My first thought was to contact the Chinese Embassy and try and get an official reason as to why my blog was blocked in China. Is it the flowery language? The glossy pictures? The reckless use of the word 'Anyway'?

I think it has something to do with Communist rule... perhaps?
Also, Jack Bauer is in jail. But this time it has nothing to do with the Chinese.
Side note: funny stuff. great post.
Ice cream, teddy bears, mac n cheese, tulips, and the Crank Dat dance have all been blocked in China, too.
Remind me to never make travel plans there. Actually, I'm part Irish, so they might not let me in anyway.
