Good read, at least she's open about her disdain for Koreans.
Is the whole "Xi hates the PLA" thing true?
Isaac White
Jesus how can she be so slimy.
Michael Edwards
Can you give us the cable link?

I hope so. I remember reading that during Tianmen Square many higher ups in the military were sympathetic to the protesters. Deng was quite worried that they were going to refuse to follow orders.
Neo-maoist military coup in China when?
Ayden Hill
I don't get it, did Hillary really say anything incorrect here?
Joseph Murphy
is she retarded?
what a shitty bargaining chip
Jackson Davis
It depends. I'm not sure if in the first two paragraphers she's just echoing the Chinese line or the US government line. If she's speaking for the government, the idea that Korea staying divided is a priority says a lot.
Jackson Sanchez
It sounds like the Chinese government line.
Bentley Fisher
Yeah, I actually misread the first line, thought she said "the traditional policy" instead of "THEIR traditional policy"
I'm not sure what the big deal is then.
Isaiah Hernandez
Nope, she said exactly what we should have expected her to (assuming this transcript is legit).
Connor Russell
At this point the PLA top brass are just the Chinese equivalent of NeoCons. Honestly, nothing good can come of this.
Oliver Roberts
How is this relevant to anything?
Just shit we already knew.

fifth paragraph:
Is this a plot to raise medical costs for Americans and to raise profits for medical companies or what does she mean by this?
Why would she view "heartburn" as useful? Is it a euphemism for something? Not a native speaker, does it have different meanings?
Xavier Perez
She's basically greentexting the CPC line, but in real life
Eli Anderson
also it's just a euphemism for "pissing off the Americans"
Justin Morales
That's her describing the chinese line. And there's probably no long-term strategy behind it, only a periodical boner they get out of annoying NATO.
Jayden Bennett
Careful, this is not an accurate view of either Chinese of Korean actual goings on. It's only an accurate version of the perception of the US foreign policy experts on these things based on incomplete and possibly sometimes fed intelligence.
Don't make too much of it, rather look at what actually happens on the ground.

"heartburn" = discomfort, but it's not a common metaphor at all
In power politics it pays to be unpredictable so you can outmaneuver your opponent and they can't plan against you, but if your subordinates are too unpredictable, you can't plan against them, and it can cause you problems.
Eli Evans
you've been here too much.
It's called "quoting", or more appropiately in this case "paraphrasing"
