A Vietnamese loco D19er hauling a 30-wagon freight train at Yen Trach station (Lang Son province which borders China) heading to China (from 0:10 to 1:10). Look like the line is quite busy nowadays, since normally the train is only about 20 wagons long.

Haha, if you ask the poorest people in the poorest countries on the poorest continent of Africa, they will say that they choose freedom, and hence, Mexico over North Korea, regardless of the current status of their country: poverty, slums, starvation, illiteracy and daily struggle to put food on...

Both North Korea and Myanmar are better off than most American neighbors. From Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras to Haiti. The list is endless. If you have to choose to live as an average citizen in Mexico and North Korea, which one would you choose? I would surely choose North Korea over Mexico...

And the children of these Hong Kongers will turn pro China, just like the children of yellow flaggers, i.e. the South Vietnamese who fled after 1975 and now living in California, once they live long enough in the UK to feel that their Chinese blood and culture are superior than that of the...

Haha, with beacons of democracy invited to attend the meeting, like the US, India, the Phillipines, Siera Leone, Liberia, Haiti, Brazil, Mexico, Columbia, Honduras, Guatemala, Ucraina, Nigeria, Mali, Congo DRC, South Africa... (correct me if these countries are not) ..., the world can clearly...

I do agree that the US is No.1 in science and technology in last couple of decades. But its allies, like Japan, Germany and more recently, Korea and Taiwan, have contributed a lot to the overall dominance of the US. Without their technologies (precise machinery, electronics, etc.), the US would...

They are "democracy". I think those British soldiers, facing the death threat, will ask for voting whether they will attack or retreat, or raise the white flag. And do not forget, Britain has great "human right" records, which they are lecturing others. Asking their soldiers to fight the mighty...

Does that mean Botswana and/or Namibia are also controlling some of the most important assets in Greek, like Piraeous port, providing key technologies to Greece and giving aid to Greek people during the pandemic?.

More innovative? With your average IQ = 95 for white and =85 for black? With poor quality of US education? what kind of logic do you believe? Lazy, poorly disciplined and low IQ people can never be innovative, in the true sense of this word (OK, they maybe innovative in some sense, like...

I know. Italy is definitely richer, although both have similar GDP per capita. There are still slums even in the center of Seoul.

It depends on various factors, especially your taste to say which one is better. But if you want to live in a dynamic, technologically advanced, highly educated and harworking, disciplined and orderly country, then Korea is better.

Thank. But we should not discuss rumours.

If only one project is delayed, we can blame contractor. If every projects are delayed, we should blame ourselves. Second, we should rely more on our own and less on foreign contractors. As per my experience working in some of the largest projects in Vietnam, traditionally, foreign contractors...

As per this channel, a relatively famous, well-informed and objective Youtube outlet about Vietnamese defense issues, the Vietnamese oil tanker was secretly helping Iran to ship oil to an East Asian market, probably in violation of some US embargo. The oil tanker, owned by a little known...

South Korea, the world's most advanced technologically country, is a "developing" country, meanwhile India is a superpower, Nigeria is a global superpower, Tanzania is an emerging superpower and Greece, Portugal, Italy or Ireland are "developed" countries. Even in GDP per capita wise, South...

For your reference, below is the exchange rate of some currencies in Jan 1998 (23 years ago) and today: In Jan 1998 (data from Asiaweek, Jan 9th edition) 1 USD = 8.28 CNese yuan = 38.45 India rupee = 44.01 Pakistani rupee = 1503 Korean won = 130 JP yen = 12,292 Vietnam dong = 5,200 Indonesia...

Thank China. Despite a lot of scrutiny by Vietnamese media, in reality, it is the fastest project with the lowest cost overrun, compared with other metro projects under construction and planned in Vietnam. The line runs through one of my apartments in Ha Dong district.

Vietnamese army has recently bought light armor vehicles, military trucks and excavators from China. So much for the hope of Aukus to lure Vietnam. Currently, the only three full strategic partners of Vietnam are China, Russia and India. The US is nowhere, even remotely.

Numerous F-22 / F-35 / F-16 / F15 accidents and incidents, which used to be the gem of the US Air Force. Have forgotten how many, because there are too many. Look like it happens every second month in 2020 and 2021. Not to mention the two B737 fatal accidents and the very disappointed way the...

Compared to the Phillipines,Vietnam produces at least 20 times more steel and multiple times more cement. And Vietnam's total export volume is three or four times as much. And regarding the key input for any kind of production, i.e. electricity, Vietnam's output is 3 or four times that of...
