To be honest I don't believe this is actually happening, unfortunately I do not have any examples to quote here but its known that the healthcare and welfare of the lowest employees in Wal Mart are actually quite appalling and that actually goes along with most other blue collared workers in...

Actually I think its a good deal for the US, if US had the full technology of high speed railway and China wanted to build the infrastructure the cost which American companies would charge will be staggering. Now that China has developed a good deal of the technology and if US got them to build...

Thanks for the compliments mate but I can't say I am without my nose growing long lol, lets say I got an opportunity and seized it but it was a enriching experience nevertheless and I still keep in contact with many of my previous colleagues from Hyd who I had a real pleasure of working with...

Lol why do they have to play the terminator sountrack :D But I'm supporter of high speed trains hopefully this will be a good start for the future. :tup:

The funny side is the French must have cursed the Germans for not lifting the embargo because it would have been a lucrative pot for them. croissants anyone ? :rofl:

Are those the same guys advised the government about Iraq WMD's and couldn't find any after the invaded the country? lol

I'm going to give you some examples from what I know personally about outsourcing. My previous role was dealing with outsourcing for finance companies where we would take roles from countries and move it to India and from my experience in the banking operations quality always gets compromised...

I can't agree with this statement totally, pending on how technical the job is thats being outsourced quality will always be sacrificed and its not some insignificant amount as you put it. But the same goes when good are manufactured in China and quality also suffers too because ultimately you...

Not in 1989 it wasn't, anyway if it wasn't for the embargo China would have fallen behind on their ability to manufacture arms as mentioned by Che, so its actually a good thing. This is not the first time a country to resort to developing its own weapons because it was at the mercy of other...

10 post and already you're trolling, keep it up :tup:

The people in China don't care about them which puzzles me why you do? The government wants to control terrorist and political dissidents and rather then spend billions monitoring them its decided to restrict it full stop. They calculated by restricting the use of them will not impact the real...

I think you are over exaggerating the benefits of freedom here, my country has its limit with regards to political freedom and other expressions of freedom no doubt (looking at your scale) but it has benefited the nation on a whole, plus I personally think the government has done a bang up job...

Well Xiamen has changed a lot since I was last there, back in 92 we had to take motorcycles in to the village which was a 5 - 6 hour journey over the dirt roads (and thats a luxury). My relatives now pick me up in the cars and we can get there in 2 hours thru the new motorways. Fantastic :tup:

To be fair as mentioned on my reply to Black Flame I doubt the politicians on either of the tri party side (India, Pakistan & China) would risk any conflicts conventional or otherwise. Any conflict could possibly lead to nuclear escalation (might be a result from a foolhardy general) and...

No offense taken mate, but I want to be clear yeah I know there is a lot of sensitivity about the poor people but I did not mentioned about that at all so lets leave the poor out on this one. In context to bringing Singapore was just a reference for a development point which most developed...

Every male citizen in Singapore serves a 2 year stint with the army, if the situation is as serious as you say why not petition the govt to have conscription of all India male citizens? I have made sacrifices for my country for her defence and yes our security situation is no less worse then...

I'm not talking bat ur poor I'm talking about infrastructure. Having worked there for a year I'm very familiar how it is. Anyway to each his own, it's not my country but yours and if you think the infrastructure is where it is so be it.

I fail to see how that matters unless the us economy fails completely, China can work out a weapon for bonds deal with the us in their favour and still have a tons of cash after. Singapore spends a lot on weapons too but that was only after the nation was developed to acceptable levels, after...

IMO the GOI should focus on spending for infrastructure, food security and education etc. The China government has trillions in surplus and can well afford to spend more on defense plus their infrastructure is already top notch. Understandably every country needs good weapons for defense but...

Interesting how big a difference between the dialect used in the Fujian province and Guangdong province despite being so close together.
