    when I face a deep challenge like that, I get reminded of this famous line form "the day the earth stood still" Well that's where we are. You say we're on the brink of destruction and you're right. But it's only on the brink that people find the will to change. Only at the precipice do we...

    Saudi Arabia wants to build largest mosque in Bangladesh

    if they built a battery fab or Semiconductor Fab, BD's future 100 years would have prospered. A univesity would have prospered for a bit longer.

    BRICS, SCO, EAEU can define new world order: China, Russia

    I believe this was a sarcastic comment. so many currencies lost their value against the dollar this year. For any other currency to replace the dollar, there should be trust on that currency. there are a good number of countries that DO trust china, but there are a good number of countries that...

    but when India asked for their insurgency commander, you can simply point out to the dalai lama. Until India gives diplomatic shelter to Dalai Lama, on what grounds are they asking you (China) to work on getting the guys wanting to secede from India?
