Meh, not surprising.
The first thing is the language barrier. Not everyone is good at learning languages. It is one thing is fill a proficiency exam, it is another thing entirely to live by yourself across the pacific ocean and rely solely on your mastery to get around daily life and learning...
I don't get the "It should change the economic system, where it will get more support if it were a bit less assertive militarily" part. Just observe the Americans and Vietnamese. American presidential candidates has been screaming East Asia pivot this, tough on China that. I mean, the "who can...
I will try. The speaker's voice is rather painful to hear. Sorta of the meandering, lingering sound that make you feel that something is trying to suck the air out of your lungs.
I disagree on the "waited till it actually became the largest economy before being more assertive". The very essence...
I think it will be good for Chinese or European users where the population is more concentrated around the cities. US user may find the scooters to be lacking in range.
China is rising peaceful. Peaceful does not mean backing down whenever someone else throw a fit.

Operation paperclip isn't very surprising. A lot of Japanese scientists that committed atrocity are pardoned by US after the war as well. Particular people like Shirō Ishii, who escaped trial by giving unit 731's research on biological weapon to US. The modern US biological weapon programs are...
I am not saying it is not a good strategy. Korea's strategy is nice with respect to its population and territory size. Ideally you would have a complete industrial base that covers all sectors, but not every nation can do it. South Korea picked one that is suitable for them. Just because the...
Thanks, it is good to know. My research concentrate on wind. We do have guys research solar in my office, unfortunately they all run off after the finals. :cheers:
To be honest, everything else really is just work in progress and given enough time it will get done. The biggest problem I had with Indian grid is that coordination is done by multiple agencies rather than one. It is rather inefficient and sometimes let politic get into what should a purely...
My advice is don't, at least not on large scale. Solar is clean and all, but it wrecks havoc on grid stability.
Unless India's electric coordination committee(s, yes, India has multiple of them for some reason) is completely reworked and the grid instability greatly improved, I would stick...
