There is also the key difference that Vietnam has about 1/14 of China's population and 1/30 of the land. Technically speaking, Vietnam's 90 million population does meet the minimum requirement for complete industry base, but so does Japan and Germany and neither of them developed a complete...

Before British colonization, India was a geographic term, not a civilization or nation, let alone a strong ancient power.

India, free :cheesy:, open :jester:, transparent:omghaha:, oh excuse me while I go laugh.

Title is misleading. Trump is proposing 10% tarriff on ALL trades. Not just the trade with China. This is because US has large trade deficit with a lot of countries, such as China, Germany and Japan, etc. Edit: Added in Link from CNN...

Not really, destroying the earth (okay, earth actually will be just fine and humans will survive, nuclear war just destroys modern society) 10 times and 1 time have really no difference.

Mongolia not to allow future visit by Dalai Lama Source:Xinhua Published: 2016/12/21 0:07:41 Mongolian Foreign Minister Tsend Munkh-Orgil said Tuesday Mongolia will not allow the Dalai Lama to visit the country. The foreign minister said Dalai's visit to Mongolia will not be allowed by the...

Frankly, the idea that a country is better off without large part of it is rather stupid.

He is being a bit too harsh. Though I do need to point out China has been secular more than two millennia ago. Chinese Buddhism is also nothing alike India Buddhism and by world standard, Chinese have been atheists for a long time.

1. GDP percentage wise, China's real estate sector (which include ALL real estate transaction) is about 1/3 the size of US and smaller than majorities of the "developed" economies. 2. Chinese government has been implementing policy to prevent overheating in house market. For example, this year's...

One, China is not an import-export economy. It does a lot of import and export, but its GDP percentage is about average and lower than many other major economies. Two, soft power comes from hard power, not the other way around. Also, soft power comes NATURALLY with hard power. USSR policy is as...

Nah, the agreement just says China will return the drone eventually. When and how is up to negotiation.

Yeah, and that will be different from the situation right now...how? As far as technology goes, China's own branch of submarine drones research started in the 90s and by 2004, they are already operational. While I don't doubt the benefit of observing your chief competitor's newest technology...

The Russians sold the fighter after WS-10B is released in Zhuhai aircraft exhibition. Basically, the engine no longer has a tech advantage. This is because Russians are not stupid. WS-10B release means there is no point to hold on to Su-35 because it already lost the tech advantage. In fact...

Meh, in each of the previous proxy war scenarios, the stronger nation has to be the aggressor. The reason is two-fold: 1. To even out the stronger nation's advantage, the war has to happen on the home soil of the weaker nation. For example, USSR's war in Afghanistan requires USSR to maintain an...

I have decided to take everything Trump said with a huge grain of salt. For example, he also said within first 100 days of his term, he would, I quote, "If I'm elected president, I will push for a constitutional amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress". So basically a guy with...

Erm, let me translate that "So you are saying that in order for you to ease your one-sided sanction on us, we have to do what you say and cut off trading with our biggest trade partner?" Dude, I think at this point you are insulting Russian people's IQ.

Yeah, Nixon style....let's observe the difference in situation: 1. When Nixon visited China, China and USSR each has a million men army standing on each other border and prepared to fight a nuclear war. Today's China...is Russia's biggest trade partner and the largest chunk of their foreign...

Well, no sane mind in any government would also remove 2 of the most circulated bill from existence with only 2 weeks of preparation time. At the same, the proposed the exchange method is having a bank account and half of your population doesn't have it. Then afterwards, it is also discovered...

Vietnam needs to be replaced with a country that starts with C, solely because then we will have CARP. In all seriousness, other things aside, Romania's population is way too small to be ever considered an engine for growth. In the original BRIC, even the one with the smallest population have...
