    PLA in International Army Games-2018

    In addition, I have also noticed that the positioning of the track wheels are differently arranged on the two tanks. With the Type 96 tanks, you can see that the first four wheels of each track (from back to front) are in close proximity of each other, after that there are noticeable gaps...

    What can China learn from America's opioid/drug crisis?

    If you mean by spirit-boosting that it lowers a person's productivity and furthermore implants a conditioning in people's minds and body through addiction, then yes.

    What can China learn from America's opioid/drug crisis?

    it's called social degeneracy, people lose sight of longterm goals that matter, just to get another hit or high. Hell, addicts are at one point willing to sell their own mothers and children if they could. This is why I am actuallyy glad that things like recreational drugs are looked down upon...

    Chinese President Xi Jinping meets with DPRK leader in Beijing

    Such good friends indeed that Comrade Deng isn't even the one standing besides him, but instead stands all the way back in the left corner! What good friends they were! Don't single out only China for basically ''accommodating'' Pol Pot's antics against Vietnam. The whole lot of your Southeast...

    Rise of China, US Civil War "Reconstruction," and Marshall Plan

    EDIT: Nevermind, this was a pretty clumsy term I used for it. I should have said the area spanning the Rhine and the Ruhr. Rhine-Ruhr is basically a term referring to the Ruhr area itself. My bad. :confused:

    Rise of China, US Civil War "Reconstruction," and Marshall Plan

    That is a straight up lie. The good majority of Germany's industrial capability, since its industrialization, has been centered around the Ruhr, which is a pretty condensed area. During the negotiations at Versailles, it was targeted by prime minister Aristide Briand himself as war reperations...

    How the Chinese cyberthreat has evolved

    Ahhhhh, the Chinese versions of Operation Mockingbird and Earnest Voice, that we have been hearing so much about for at least a good decade. EDIT: Also, whenever a 'journalist' writes a piece about cybercrime or anything computer-related, and you see them post a picture with a hooded criminal...

    Chinese man sent to jail for joking about ‘joining’ ISIS

    Just like how swatters or pranksters think it's funny to report a fake emergency or post on social media on how they are going to shoot up a school for the lolz... These people got exactly what was coming for them.

    Is Religion Banned in China?

    If any of you think religion is any good, then I suggest you read up on things like the Hundred, Eighty, and Thirty Years' War in Europe, in which half of the German population died because one church refused to recognize the Pope as the Earthly representative of God. Or better yet, read up on...

    Chinese armed police tactical shooting

    Regular units use the QBZ-95, airborne units are equipped with QBZ-03s, while frogmen are occassionally equipped with the QBS-06. However, the SOF generally procures weapons based on their needs. I don't think there is any kind of 'mainstream' weapon for as far as I can tell. But judging from...

    Finally a Chinese ''duel citizenship'' for overseas Chinese?

    I have recently discovered that the PRC is issueing ID cards (or green cards for some of you) for overseas Chinese. It doesn't ''officially'' make you a citizen of the People's Republic of China, but it grants the same rights as a PRC citizen when it comes to business, purchase of real estate...

    Ice hockey brawl between China and Chinese Taibei

    You are not a true ice hockey player until you have lost a few teeth or gained a few bruises here and there.

    China says Taiwan not a country, Taiwan says China needs reality check

    Nobody said anything about a merger buddy, I said that if ordinary Pakistani's and Indians in the west can be friendly towards one and another, then why shouldn't this be possible for the two people's as a whole? And now that you mentioned it, if this is the case then friendlier ties are not a...

    China says Taiwan not a country, Taiwan says China needs reality check

    Then I pity your naive and pessimistic outlook for the future. Asia's future, one that consolidates Asia as the dominant continent as it traditionally was, can only be made possible by its booming economies which have the momentum, and these include both India AND China. And to be honest, if...

    China bans ‘Islamophobic terms’ from social media

    But it basically grinds down to the same thing though; everything becomes fair game, once market mechanisms get involved, as a free market isn't subjected to integrity or values but only has the sole end goal of profit. And actually, it's more likely that Chinese social media like Sina Weibo...

    China bans ‘Islamophobic terms’ from social media

    Just like how Facebook, Google and Twitter have been censoring search results that didn't fit the ''narrative'', just to please their advertisers?

    China at 68: Long Live the People's Republic!

    Yeah... I could remember tales from my mother of how she still experienced the afterbirth effects of the cultural revolution when she was young (born late 60's). She told me that the grandparents and her siblings were eating the skin and bran of rice plants, made into a porridge, because there...

    My my... What happened to you old friend? Weren't you always a PLA enthusiast? I mean, didn't you have a youtube channel dedicated to PLA military stuff?

    Dunford: China to be 'greatest threat' by 2025

    Actually, the US should be more worried about its own armed population, should the nation be ever faced with a serious crisis. Both the people and the administration better hope that the authority of their local and Federal government are able to weather the problem. Because if shit would...

    For Some Chinese Uighurs, Modeling Is A Path To Success

    Yeah about what the guy said about people resorting to surgery in order to obtain those preferable facial features, if it's not natural, you are better off not taking surgery at all. Commercial surgery always is a 50/50 chance that you might either end up for the better or worse.
