IMO, equating "democracy" and "general vote" is the biggest fallacy in the recent years. The question we have to ask is that "what is democracy" and "why would it be good". At the fundamental level, the need for survivial and desire for better condition drove the human mind and behavior. We...

That's a very silly question. Of course China practiced missile strike against US bases. The major nuclear nations has practiced missile strike against vital targets in other nations ever since the start of cold war.

Erm, you can go ahead and integrate with US economy. We like our economic independence, thank you very much.

Nah, Japan is not an ally. It is a cash cow and atm machine for US. Germany would have been the same, but EU combined do have enough to prevent that.

Well, unlike China and EU, Japan just might fold under the pressure.

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2017/01/24/chinas-birthrate-rises-after-one-child-policy-loosened.html Huh, so only a year after the policy is implemented, the birth rate INCREASED for 8% and there are articles like this, gee this reminded me of a certain conversation from that sitcom named...

It is somewhat different. EU's main purpose is an economic and political cooperation union. You do not have to be in it to function as a normal nation. UN is a diplomatic platform where powerful nations in the world can communicate and work out solutions without starting world wars. They can...

That would be a very stupid move. So there is an actual possibility for it to happen.

If it is DF-41 and the location is Heilongjiang, then the main aim will be US. If it is deployed in Inner Mongolia or more western province, then the aim will be Europe. Cold war time missile against USSR is typically stationed in Central provinces of China, such as Sichuan. Also, the shortest...

This is because everyone else carry the same risk. You think US or Europeans are not going to spy on India? The fact is, as far as international espionage goes, China is actually rather tame. China gets a bit more media coverage in India because it is geographically closer to India than the...

India region grid coordination is done by two parts, regional dispatch and state level dispatch. While this is not an unusual approach, the problem with the India system is that the two dispatch are owned, controlled and operated by two entirely different organizations. From 2012 India blackout...

As a electrical engineer specialized in power systems, I can safely say that the biggest threat to India power grid is the Indian government, or specifically, the way it coordinates its grid.

Erm, it looks cute and all. However, unless you are a trained professional wearing appropriate gear, sitting beside a Panda like that is not a good idea. You need to remember, under all that cute exterior, IT IS STILL A BEAR!

Where did you think those market shares come from? There is the Chinese saying "To block one's money, is like killing one's parents" 断人财路，如杀人父母 It is not the least bit surprising. 1. Right...a dictatorship with a leader term limit of ten years and the power separated between a governing...

Erm, pretty sure that reason CIA started the whole Arabic spring farce is due to the fact Egypt was trying to move away from USD and build an African economic union.

No, Zheng He's voyager is in 15th century. 8th century is more like Tang dynasty. It is not just the oceanic trade route. The Arabic traders of that era may have bought the goods in the China and went through western part of the county and crossed mid-Asia.

That was a secret?

The thing is, market force does have a significant role in Chinese economy. As the same time, presence of SOE also have its place and the past decades have proven that for developing economies carving out its international market, SOE are much more resilient than private companies due to higher...

And to be fair, if they use the actual name of the country, you probably need to look it up on google to know where it is.

Erm, my stance from the very beginning is that GDP alone is not a good indicator and no, this is not from social scientific textbook. My research is on renewable energy and by extension, environment impact. It is through the research, as well as meeting people in the industry and work on...
