First of all~ I'm not Indian~ Secondly, having "Greater China Scheme" do not mean that Mainland China (or CCP) History trumps and negates all other region history. Due credit must be given proportionally. The fact will never change, Taiwan historical experience with Japanese Imperialism is...

Well~ what you brought is Mainland China experience of Japanese Imperialism. No one deny the hardship of Mainland China during that time. But what you experienced in Mainland China does not necessarily apply to Taiwan. Taiwan and Mainland China were two seperate entity back that. It is the fact...

Strange~ my previous post describing various transmission rate of HIV was deleted~ Here's the comparative data comparing various routes of transmission and the chance of infection: * assuming no condom use As you can see, infection of HIV through sexual interaction is comparatively "low"...

No~ the point is not valid. Lux de Veritas misrepresented and misintrepreted the number 0.01-0.38% of transmission rate into "the number is so low, it's not heteresexual transmitted disease. It's homosexual transmitted disease This is not valid conclusion as comparatively speaking anal...

I think this map is much more accurate as it incorporate genetic variation within ethnic group based on geography proximities~ For example, Han Chinese from Taiwan has larger genetic component of Austronesian than Han Chinese from Mainland, suggesting a historical mixing of Han immigrant with...

That is relative to what currency you're buying the gold. If you bought gold with currency with high inflation/volatile exchange rate, gold is the choice of investment to shield you away from inflation and currency volatilty in the long run. But relative to USD and other stable currencies~ gold...

You looks very certain in your assumption about who I am and what I understand~ to the point of arrogance I must say. Unfortunately, that is far from the truth. Forum is the place where everybody can discuss about something pertaining to the topic the OP started, yet I stood here only to be...

I thought it was China who fiercely opposed Japan establishing its EEZ by contstructing artificial island/building in okinotorishima. I don't know how China could justify building artifical island in SCS to claim EEZ surrounding the sea. These two stances seems contradictory. UN decision over...

I don't think that is constructive and relevant to the statement I've made~ That is the flaw and valid concern. Everyone in political science knows that. You can't dismiss it by throwing ad hominem attack. And no~ I;m not from India, and it is not relevant to the topics you started. I thought...

Someone with realistic world view will know what this will lead. Someone higher in power/influence will nominate who will most likely elect him to the post, and so on and so on to the highest level. With every successive level of indirect election, the higher the chance collusion will appear...

Well~ you can say you "elect" a pre-determined group of peoples from a single party (CPC) who will elect a bunch of peoples who will elect a number of peoples who will elect your leaders who will indirectly determined who you will elect at the lowest level direct election. To make it clear...

Taiwan public transport is quite good~ especially Taipei. Taipei MRT is one of the most punctual and cleanest rail transit I've ever ride. But nothing beat out Japanese public transport system. Tokyo rail transport network (Subway + Commuter Train)

The Japanese Royal family might be one of the most miserable~ their lives are practically controlled by the Imperial Household Agency even to the tiniest detail of their personal choices..

This imbalances partly was caused by export-driven policies of developing asia, hoarding a lot of US dollars while artifically depreciate their own currency. The logic is simple, when you produces more than you consume, you end up exporting you product to others and have a trade surplus. But...

This kind of thought will lead to backwardness~ If you only focus on what is obvious, you won;t know the possibility of the unexplored. If somehow Tesla and Benjamin Franklin was discouraged and shunned for their studies in "useless" electricity phenomenon, then maybe we would still be using...

Per capita income does not have anything to do with domestic consumption driven economy. It simply means that the country produces mostly what it can consume. For example, 47% of Indonesia GDP comes from manufacturing sector, comparable to that of China's 43% of GDP. China cannot support it...

I think you misunderstood the term "Domestic Consumption" driven economy. It doesn't mean the whole nation just consume without producing anything, it means that the nation consume mostly what it produced. That is, their economic growth depends mostly on the demand from domestic side. As long as...

If you learn history well~ that is the truth. Cultural influence spread not only through ruling but also through technology advancement. Some are more widespread and some are limited. How do you think Pakistan become Islamic? The cultural sphere of islamic caliphate dominated the world. in...

That is your believe~ others do not. The essence of freedom of speech is the realization that everyone has its own view no matter how "bigotted" their views are. You should realize that nobody could conform to everyone's view. There will always be conflicting voices. So what is the solution...
