Daily linklets 28th June

Colin Powell puts China's military build-up into realistic contexts.
Happy blogday, Mia.
The big risks of China's looming power shortages. The relevant point is when energy, like any good, is allocated by fiat rather than by markets, you get a literal mis-allocation of resources. Howard French links an IHT article that points out that both China and US need to deal with cheap money to ensure the commercial entente's survival.
Imagethief tells everyone to get over CNOOC's bid and includes a helpful "yellow peril" scorecard, with a few solutions to American worries about shadowy Chinese bureaucrats controlling the US economy. China Hand notes this is America's chance to turn China away from dealing with rogue states in its quest for energy security...something for the anti-China crowd to keep in mind.
Walter Mondale and the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands.
Krugman on the Chinese challenge. He's from the "China as bogeyman" school.
Is this a world record? China to spend US$39 billion on infrastructure for the Beijing Olympics.
Microsoft doesn't think 1989 happened.
China's financial regulators take aim at their foot and hit the target.
For Philippine President Arroyo, sorry seems to be the hardest word. It only took 3 weeks and the most popular ringtone in Philippine history. Manuel Quezon III and Torn and Frayed have more.
While on being sorry, Japan's Emperor and Empress are travelling to offer condolences to WW2 victims.
Looks like the Typepad blog block has been lifted.
Chris has reactions and thoughts to the hyperbolic Bill Gertz article. Like me he's firmly in the realistic camp on China. Kate pleads for a debate about China's rise to which Chris accurately responds.
Disney Hunter, a new Chinese site watching over our new mouse overlords (via CSR Asia).
The "bastard child of Xinhua and Mad Magazine".
Reuters thinks a movie is pro-Zionist if Jews are still alive at the end.
Chinese immigrants in Russia.
It has been confirmed a Taiwanese court has recognised a PRC judgement.
A vibratory solution to AIDS and over-population.
Honey, I don't know why this is so funny. On the other hand, it doesn't seem so bad compared to the alternative.
Curzon says Nathan's fisking on Central Asia, US bases, oil and China is the fisk of the month. He's right.
(14:07) The Korean War and Hong Kong.
Is the central government listening to the warnings stemming from localised riots? Legislative discussion opens on reducing police powers.
Joe offers 5 important corporate lessons with telling anecdotes as examples.
(17:05) ICG have a report on the relationship between Japan and North Korea: Bones of Contention.
The second in their series on US-China relations, In Defense of Ambiguity, is up at LGM. This post looks into the Taiwan problem and the likelihood of conflict. The proposed solution is both the best and most likely one.
The science of male and female orgasms.
On similar lines, Xinhua has a helpful guide to penis measurement. China's tax dollars at work. Who said state-owned media is boring? It harks back to the infamous Hong Kong penis study from earlier this year.

Excerpt: Revisiting this post from the weekend, this comment from "Joe" merits attention. Re acid rain in China. As a resident of Guangzhou, I can confirm that it stings like crazy if it gets into your eyes. The Southern China landscape...

Well, thanks for the heavy linkage today. On the Xinhua penis item I was disappointed that Jeremy didn't realize that it was well behind the curve. XiaXue did that ages ago.

Maybe he got confused: XiaXue, Xinhua...easy mistake to make.
