    Oh dear its 9:35am and no-one has commented. I guess you are all busy opening your Chrissy presents.

    Don't eat too much. Don't drink too much. And don't talk politics. angry

    My family Xmas bun-fight kicks off this arvo so must remember to heed my own advice. angel

    Given it's the year that China asserted full control of Hong Kong (23 years into a 50 year agreement), a little focus on the Baluchistan area of Pakistan.

    It's become an economic zone (it has natural respurces for export), one handed off to China for exploitation. Now a port is Chinese controlled and is being fenced off from the wider region. A bit like Hong Kong in its 1897-1997 phase.

    Formerly the Pakistan government "kidnapped" local nationalists. Now in Sweden and a few days ago in Canada Baluchi nationalists in exile have drowned.

    This is starting to make Western Papua look like a teddy bears picnic.

    Apologies for the belated good wishes everyone, but hope you are all enjoying your Christmas and holiday breaks (if you are lucky enough to have them).

    Particular thanks to Lynn, and the authors and moderators at The Standard who continue to make this site a must-read every day. And also thanks to all the commenters who I enjoy. (If I say you know who you are, you can all assume I'm talking about you.)

    Meri Kirihimete! (either one day late or 364 days early. Take your pick)
