Fair point, unfrotunately I have this reaction to one sided opinions :disagree: It does seem that the influence on the presidency by big businesses is in decline (especially after this economic disaster) which is a damn good thing. IMO some of the big cooperations have really messed up the...

Sorry in order to challenge someone you need to post something intelligent in the first place. And from your comments I doubt very much you've been out of the US often or even visited China or India. Your opinions must matter a lot, to make 3,000 post and not thank a single person for theirs...

The query is directed at Captain America, if I want the opinion of someone with his head up his a*s you would be the first on the list

China's governing system is nowhere near perfect but given that it has a country of 1.3 Billion to manage its doing pretty well, needless to say sacrifices have been made by millions for it to reach the level its at today but unfortunately it is a necessary evil. China's censors are aimed...

Lesson learnt, that's why the world is now focusing on China and India.

It was so successful that it crashed the global economy, keep it up.

China has mentioned before destruction of this dam will be seen as a nuclear strike which they will respond to in a similar fashion.

I like Beijing too, mainly because there are so many small eateries around the north part of the city (its a Singaporean thing). Nothing I like better then to get a late supper and few bottles of Yanjing Beer :cheers: That said Shanghai is fantastic unfotunately the weather when I went was...

I think its because there are many cases of children picking up the cluster bomb ordnances and got killed/maimed. But like someone said unless everyone agrees to stop using them no single country will give them up first. Anyway the US should set an example and sign the agreement first since...

What are you talking about? Bad transparency and accountability is inherently linked to corruption. You just shot yourself in the foot

Maybe we can refer to this thread about transperency and accountability of the world's greatest democracy at work. http://www.defence.pk/forums/u-s-foreign-affairs/67215-us-can-t-account-8-7b-iraqi-funds.html

Strange how this conversations turned into a India vs China thread. Anyway always better to be underestimated then overestimated, if they feel that the chinese sats are junk so be it then.

Thanks for putting up the pictures Sri Lankan

Hi Chaps, There has been a lot of talk about China being held at the mercy of the US because of all the Billions of dollars in debt which China finances. I personally think this is BS because the US will never default on the bonds but for argument sake say if an economic war (no military...

Agreed, Malaysia is very diverse and tolerant for people of all races and religion. Though the Chinese merchants there do control a large portion of the trading & commerce the Malaysia government has also implemented regulations to ensure that the local community get benefits that non malays...

Actually that's a very good and technical analysis by Speeder 2 which puts a lot of facts down to layman terms which matches world economy situation. I'm interested to see some proper technical rebuttals rather then sidetracking attacks about rockets exploding, tanks and guns and whatnot.

Haha we call Singapore a nanny state more or less, to be honest I think China has more freedom in some areas then Singapore itself (protest, strikes etc). The discipline and restrictions does make Singapore quite boring but having worked in India (organized chaos) and UK (freedom unbound) its...

In the interest of wrapping this up this is my last post on this thread. Yes you are absolutely correct, all the trillions of dollars China has put in the US economy is a total write off, how silly of them. Also their politicians lie and are corrupted and only do so to benefit themselves...

Japan can easily assemble nuclear weapons at the first whiff of trouble, they already have nuclear material and are also a world leader (Read WORLD LEADER ) in technology. Also no one can say for certain how good their missile technology is (they launch freaking satellites as a norm), I suspect...
