Annual trade deficit with Communist China breaks record, with one month still left: The imbalance between the U.S. and Communist China for 2006 hit $213.5 billion (Bloomberg). It was the second time the deficit with the Communist regime passed $200B (the 2005 figure was $202B - see sixth item), and we still haven't included the month of December yet. Meanwhile it doesn't look like things will improve in 2007 (Epoch Times and MSNBC).
More on Communist China and the United States: President Bush's special envoy for Sudan is in Beijing, trying to get Communist China to stop running interference for the butchers of Darfur (Washington Times).

Olmert pleads with Communist China to rein in Iran, and gets nowhere: The Isreali Prime Minister asked his Communist counterpart "to reconsider the sanction policy against Iran" (Strategic Intel), explaining that "the financial trade between the two courtiers which amounts to some five billion dollars . . .

More on Communist China's Korean colony: Is Stalinist North Korea preparing another nuclear test? The commander of the U.S. forces in South Korea thinks so (One Free Korea, Voice of America via Epoch Times, and Washington Times, h/t to Strategic Intel). Daily NK has two pieces showing both sides of the Stalinist regime's disconnect with the people of northern Korea. Meanwhile, One Free Korea covers the usual silliness from South Korea's doves (with an assist from Daily NK).
