You are correct on the issue. A signifcant part of China-US beef trade impass is the fact many of the FDA approved animal feeds and grow hormones simply doesn't pass Chinese standard, ractopamine is one of them. Hint, there is a reason US girls looks hot and much more developed than Chinese...

Here is my personal understanding on the issue. If Trump follows through with his promises, US oversea influence will diminish, but the up side is that US economy will stablize as well. There are many long term consequences of this change of strategic direction. To put it in a simpler analogy...

Well, from I have heard, the biggest reason a lot of mainland-origined chinese population supported Trump is because Hillary is proposing AA style for university admission slots by ethnicity. Since mainland Chinese has a lot better education on average, equalizing the available admission slot by...

Shift to an economy based on consumption =/= stock market. In fact, stock market is one of the worst place for the consumption to go since it create zero real economic value and sucks capital from other sectors. In fact, the whole reform plan and economic re-structuring has very little to do...

CCTV-4 new did report that Chinese military spokes person mentioned that "the technological preparation for catapult system is already done." The new did not mention the specific type of the catapult system, though it is implied it will deployed for the third carrier. I am not surprised the...

Well, of course without anti-biotics there will be a lot of trouble, but at the same time, it also will not take us back to medieval time as you initially stated.

Nah, even if anti-biotics fail, the improved nutrient intake in the modern society will mean a much stronger immune system and more resilience once infected. This is somewhat true. Historically in middle east regions, pigs are raised towns with low hygiene standards (from modern perspective)...

Hmm, part of me wanted to say this is in response to the Fed rate hike, but to be honest, the timing is a bit off. Monetary Policy like this has a delay and this is way too soon after the rate hike. I am more leaning towards an under the table deal between China and US regarding to the RMB...

US is not going to war with China. China is not going to war with US. ASEAN nations are not idiots and none of them stands to gain anything going into a war with China. China already has the advantage and is already getting what it wants without needing wars. So the only way for a war in...

It is a resolution on promoting better agriculture technology. Don't let politics get into the way of science.

As far as advertisement for prostitution goes, that one sucked and not a good way.

The thing with leadership perception is that no one is going to vote for a "soft" leader even if soft touch is required. The ingrained public opinion is also going to be hard, harder and even harder than that. Or as I like to call it "nobody like to be one that steps back and everybody thinks...

SAM is short for surface to air missile. It is a generic term.

Without getting into the part about "on same level in aerospace", India would insist such development to be done on Indian soil and the project will probably be contracted to HAL. Seeing the development rate and quality of HAL's past records, South Korea will be very reluctant to such a deal.

Right, what about Tibet and Taiwan. Did PRC sold Tibetans or Taiwanese as slaves? Did PRC plunge Tibet or Taiwan into poverty, smashing its living standards and leave the natives in ignorance? Did PRC disallow any rights to the native inhabitants and deny them the same right enjoyed by other...

Japan's rise in early 20th century depended on its neighbour's weakness, such as the internal turmoils in China and Russia. Basically, the only way for a small nation to rise is for its large neighbours to screw up themselves.

And China average 6.7% growth from 1952 to 1978. So by your definition India's entire performance is sub-stellar.

Yeah, but China showed a consistent growing trend since 1950. On the other hand, India's stagnation has been observed since 1947. India started off with much better infrastructure and assets than China (though not more strength, considering India's abysmal military record and People's Republic...

Because the current trend in job market is working in US for about a decade, gaining experience and expertise and then go back to China to locate a suitable job. US degree by itself doesn't worth much these days. Experience and expertise is everything.

Yeah, but already apply this: 1. USA in 1900s was going through what a demographic dividend. When the dependency ratio hits lowest, and the labor force is highest as percentage of population. 2. USA had a big real estate and infrastructure sector, with a real estate bubble---it still does. 3...
