Unfortunately I think he'll be too old by the time Craig hangs up the PPK. The producers will be looking for someone in their mid 30s at the oldest. I do think Idriss is Connery like though. He's big and powerful and exudes (and I say this with a long record of heterosexuality) raw sexual energy the way Connery did.

Edit: if people wanna discuss this and everything Bond-related come to /r/JamesBond. And yes, that's what the JB in my name stands for.

over the last two days bitcoins have been very stable.

Since Deng's reforms more people have come out of absolute poverty in China in greater numbers more quickly than at any time in human history (feel free to correct me if there's a better example). Most of the Chinese I know (I live in China) are very happy that things changed.

Something that is very telling is that when North Korea is mentioned multiple people have unprompted said it's like China pre-Deng. And they mean it negatively.

What would you say to the 300+ million people that have joined the global middle class as a result of Deng's reforms?

I mean, it's the greatest answer ever if it actually was written by a 70 something year old Persian immigrant and former professional wrestler. If it was actually written by Bar Mitvah promoters cum hucksters the hilarity drops pretty far.

government leaders of Taiwan (such as that Taiwan was a sovereign nation)

Surely you know this never happened, right? During the time period you are talking about the Guomindang was in power in Taiwan, and they never have considered Taiwan an independent country.
