So China spends a lot of money on 'internal security'. Guess that's one of the reasons why the World Justice Project ranks China as the 2 best out of 16 lower middle income countries in providing Order and Security, while one certain South Asian superpower got ranked 15/16...
Last time I checked Philippines can't even persuade rest of ASEAN to back up her little plan to carve up South China Sea to 'disputed' and 'undisputed' areas, because of resistances from countries like Indonesia and Malaysia.
China has 20 neighboring countries. I know counting to 20 is hard...
China is a Third World country. We are not in the first world, and we haven't been in the second world since the Sino-USSR split, and the second world ceased to exist after 1991 anyway. Government and official media statements also self-identifies us as a third world country, i.e. we often say...
I must congratulate the Global Times editorial board on an opinion piece well-written. For what's the point of an editorial if it fails to be thought-provoking? And look at those Indian thoughts expressed in most colourful languages, all provoked by a single article! I really wish we have more...
So a NGO decides to give Mr Putin a prize and somehow it shows China is happy for Russia "going to war with Chechnya" (whatever it means). Does this even compute?
Vietnamese GDP per capita $1170, spends 0.19% of GDP on R&D.
Indian GDP per capita $1370, spends 0.9% of GDP on R&D.
Vietnam and India has comparable GDP per capita but drastically different R&D investment ratio. If I were you I would spend more time thinking about Vietnam rather than...
I'm not sure about that. The decline of pro-American sentiment in China in the last 10 years was mostly U.S's own doing, i.e. the bombing of Chinese embassy in 1999. The younger generation without memories of the embassy bombing is different. America is a far richer country than China and let's...
Former U.S. ambassador to China and Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman had revealed the plan to destroy Chinese economy by inciting internet opposition in a Republican presidential debate on CBS:
Of course people may say that's Jon Huntsman's own idea. But judging by the fact he was...
First a lot of people do complain about shark fin, tiger bones or whale meat. A lot more than those complaining about Danish slaughters. You hear about tiger bone, whale meat or shark fin in the news, if not daily at least once ever so often, but most people only know this practice in Denmark...
Oh another hilarious piece of commentary from Zhu Feng. Dr Zhu, of course, is famous for cheering for the Iraq war even when his American daddies themselves are having second thoughts. Dr Zhu should take a look at U.S.-Mexican border and ask if human rights and rule of law guaranteed Mexico to...
That's the real point of the article.
U.S. is again pulling the old trick of pressing China on so-called human rights issues in order to extract economic concessions. Ms Clinton should be ashamed of herself for using self-immolation of some misguided monks and nuns to advance the agenda of...
