Thanks for the invite. I will look around, lol.

Meh, the crash earlier was way worse and it has very little impact on Chinese economy.

Not really serious. Demographics is one aspect of social engineering and there is always spaces for improvement. It is not just birth rate either, it also include other stuff ranging from population distribution around the country, education level to more obscure/tangential parameters such as...

Preliminary specs for the next Tianhe is using domestic chips. There is no need for US chips.

Its movement is actually a lot more like earthworms where one segment of the body will anchor itself and the other sections moves.

Nice. Bohai bay is such a nice place.

Is there any alternative stadium if this one can't be completed on time? I would image Tokyo has a quite a number of them that can be refitted for Olympics.

The guy was in league with the new citizen movement. He illegally left China to Syria to join the Syrian rebels. It is a standard case of "no zuo no die".

Pff, whose definition of human rights? The most fundamental human right and the one China believe the most is the people's right to live in peace and prosperity. That is exactly what we are providing the Iranians with.
