Excuse me? If we use your language argument then America should go be part of England again (or vice-versa), and Quebec should get independence. And Hong Kong is about as different from Beijing culturally as Shanghai is from Beijing - which is to say not much. Though I have to say pretty much...

Wrong, you should brush up on your education before making uninformed claims such as this. Old Chinese is non-tonal. It was only during the Imperial China period, with its expansion south, did Chinese phonology eventually lose nearly all of its consonant clusters and developed tones. And...

You're only 10 months late in posting this news :rofl: ...and as said earlier it's already been posted.

Actually, no. The number 8 is a lucky number in Chinese culture, and double eight's is double lucky.

I see what you did there :cool: inb4 skyrim reference

?? :confused: Not saying that it's not true (it is true), just wondering how that correlates with my previous post. Some of it is personal preference, and in other cases it's by circumstance :) I'm sorry you feel that way. My personal experiences regarding social interaction have...

Perhaps you've been looking in the wrong places? :happy:

Nice...does this mean Russia will stop blaming China for the bricks now (which wasn't China's fault in the first place)? No? :undecided: Btw the media's been giving mixed signals lately, first they say the trails failed now it's a success :confused:

No, really! It's definitely true! ;) You know, I've always wanted to see with my own eyes how the good life in an ACC is. Tell you what, one day you, me, and the guys can hit it up at the nearest ACC and we'll have a field day vacationing there (maybe visit a spa or 2 as well) :cheesy:

Neither is true. 1) The vast majority of Chinese-Americans or ABC's work in the U.S. and will continue to do so. Even so, going to mainland China to work or do business is actually a reasonable option for us now because of the opportunities and incentives it offers. When India offers...

Apparently the OP has never known that an ACC is not just a gigantic ship for aircraft operations; in fact it is pretty much a floating city, made to be self-sufficient and able to support up to a few thousand crew members and for them to live onboard for an extended period of time (with all the...

Just a little correction, China resolved all territorial disputes with Russia in 2008 ;)

What is the potential for Vietnam to get in the big leagues of international casino gambling like Macao and Las Vegas?

Yuan Hits High Against U.S. Dollar - WSJ.com China's yuan hits record high as Oct holiday approaches Just thought you'd like to know. Btw this was dated a day old.

My post wasn't very clear, but yeah I meant operational experience, since PLAN needs time to integrate and streamline the handling of logistics :D

Nice job :tup: Even California has been looking to China for HSR technology :)

Everything I say in this post is purely speculation. It's reasonable to assume that PLAN will be obtaining know-how and experience with the Liaoning for a while and will take its time with plans for a second ACC, they're not likely going to rush such a project. That's not to say that PLAN...

One would think she'd worry more about her compatriots in the North who are enduring far worse tyranny :undecided:

I highly doubt that you don't own a single product that isn't made in China, especially since you live in the U.S. Also, espionage and taking ideas from others is hardly a new concept in the world. However, we can let the laws of economics work it out. Companies can choose to brand their...

Hey, if China is a pariah nation then don't trade with it. In fact you can be the first to demonstrate your commitment and resolve by immediately dumping everything and anything you own that has a 'Made in China' label on it :no:
