SINGAPORE — An inaugural anti-piracy meeting of Asian governments began Monday as part of a Japan-initiated pact to combat piracy in the region, especially in the Malacca Strait, one of the world's busiest waterways.

Fourteen Asian countries which are signatories to the "regional cooperation agreement on combating piracy and armed robbery against ships in Asia," or better known as "ReCAAP," are participating in the four-day meeting.

Seriously, you're never going to have a gun crazy, hot Chinese chick in denim cutoffs as a business partner, no matter how much you dream. The reality just doesn't stack up. 8)

I just want to shoot people and blow stuff up, a Revy style partner would just be an added benefit. I must admit the piracy the meeting is being held to discuss wasn't the first type of piracy that came to mind.
