I saw, the Chinese have helped bad communists in Sri Lanka in the past.

Though, China pretends, they aren't involved in conflicts overseas--seems they are.

They just do it very quietly, it seems like.

You can't really know who to trust.

I don't really know these Chinese and Russians as well as we know these Americans.

Scratch that, I want to use telephoto lense a few times. I think it'll look good.

For example, if I was running, it's cooler than a zoom camera movement.
