They have their own system of romanisation. And no because they are also Chinese by heritage and culture. You are not so you need to be more respectful when using the languages of other cultures. Thanks.

Huh? It's romanised as Xinjiang. Not Xin Jiang. In Japanese, there are two characters for Tokyo. Do you also spell it To Kyo? Do you spell Seoul as Seo Ul because there are two characters (서울)? I notice Vietnamese ALWAYS chop up Chinese nouns, but never for Japanese or Korean, I have no idea...

China believes it's her own territories no matter what you say.

Thank you biendong :-) Yes there is. In Chinese words are grouped based on the noun. So for example chopsticks is kuàizi (筷子). Goldfish is jīnyú (金鱼). Names of places are also grouped that is why it's spelt Heilongjiang (黑龙江) and not Hei Long Jiang. Also for tone marks many people just leave it...

This is getting too wordy so I am just going to cut to the main points. First, the term "admit" is insanely inappropriate here, because it implies that I am confessing a wrongdoing. I never that said you called yourself an impartial arbiter, I said that you acted and touted yourself like one...

1. Well in China's view you are taking their seas and their property as your own, so that's expansionism. 2. I am just posting my own independent comments. And besides I think 50 cent troopers post in more popular websites like YouTube (?) and comments sections in popular news website...

No you don't need to say it, you're acting like you're an impartial arbiter on SCS issues. I don't think you should act like such because you're Vietnamese. That's a dangerous conflict of interest. No, your understanding is poor. I am setting a framework for this discussion so that we can...

Ugh why do Vietnamese chop up Chinese words all the time. It's Jiaozhi (交趾) not Jiao Zhi. This is not Vietnamese language where everything is chopped up. Stop abusing my language. I am very respectful toward your culture so please be respectful toward mine.

It's not expansionist attitude but protective attitude. China is protecting and defending territories that it considers her own, like I said a billion times.

Dichoi it's "Xinjiang" and not "Xin Jiang". It's Shanghai and not Shang Hai. It's Beijing and not Bei Jing. It's jiaozi not jiao zi. It's mantou not man tou. You're applying a Vietnamese system onto Chinese romanisation. Chinese is not the same as Vietnamese. Stop abusing Chinese language and...

No because China is not servile to Obama. That is not arrogance, that's called respecting yourself.

No because China and Chinese see Xi Jinping as their leader and not Obama. So only if Xi Jinping (or other Chinese authority) says to stop building then it will stop. But Xi Jinping has not said to stop island building so it will continue in full force.

So who is Black Flag? Is that William Hung's account too? I think China should increase SCS island building. Obama demands stop to SCS island building, Xi Jinping should demand increase in size and magnitude of SCS island building.

Excuse me William Hung but it is a fundamental truth that no matter how unbiased someone thinks they are, they are subconsciously biased and that's not their fault. That's why there's no point pretending that you're a neutral analyst while acting like a voice of reason, when you're not...

William Hung I had a look at the rules and it seems to suggest that there is a profanity filter in place. And yet swear words still appear. That's really odd, perhaps the actual word I used isn't considered a prohibited word? Or is the profanity filter broken? And you might be reading my posts...

William Hung, we are adults, I'm surprised that you're uncomfortable with the term "zero shits". I wasn't aware that many children frequent this forum, but I only joined recently so I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks because I wasn't aware of the examples you showed. Well your choice of...

William Hung thanks for your research and input. I think China gives zero shits though and will keep building because no matter what anybody says China considers it her own territory. Oh well. Time to enjoy the beautiful sand piled islands! No that analogy doesn't work. There's only legal...

Well to be more precise China is an NIC (newly industrialised country), but you can call that developing if you want. And yet it does very well in the Olympics (unlike India), has universities in the top 50 worldwide (unlike any other developing countries, who don't even have institutions in the...
