Discovery Atlas - China

[mazidane]

Anyone have Discovery HD?

Be sure to check out this program, amazing cinematography, especially when they show the monks practicing "wushu" which I gather means martial arts?

Anyone practice Wushu on this board?

China is a sleeping giant...and it is waking up. I can guarantee a war within 10 years however with a country out of that area! Generally when neighbours see that one is prospering and they are not, its an easy excuse to start a war. China with its early wealth is investing a lot in modern weapons, because they know someone is going to cause problems...its almost guaranteed!

I know this the "Off Topic" area, but I don't think you have to take it so literally.

Back on topic, I wish I had the Discovery HD channel, I like to watch anything with great cinematography.

What the ??? No one is going to attack China, that's absurd. If there is going to be a war it'll be one of trade (embargo's, tariffs, and such).

I didn't think it was too bad, Discovery Atlas - Italy though, now that was boring didn't even bothe watching the entire show. Lets see Brazil and Australia turn out.

When do these show air?


Usually 9pm on Sundays on Discovery HD and then re runs through the week at random times.

I happened to catch the beginning of Discovery Atlas - Italy (one of my favourite countries) this afternoon. Tomorrow night is Brazil. I wonder if they'll hit Japan? ;)
