Interesting item on Yahoo News about Taiwan investing heavily in the new state of Macedonia, establishing strong links there. I remember reading that the mainland Chinese Govt once had strong links with Albania. Dose it still have these links, if so we may see some interesting geopolitics in SE Europe. Makes a change, I suppose, from European/American powers using the rest of the world for THEIR political manouverings. I won't say where Lake Ohrid is - the clue is in the above.
