Every story has two sides. The problem is that a large minority of foreigners in China are scum, trash, losers, criminals, sexual deviants, societal rejects from their home countries, etc. Twenty years ago in year 2000, we were poor and had a GDP/capita of only $959 (compared to Turkeÿ's $4219)...

Viet internationally recognised industrial giants: Vinfast, whatever company make 'BPhone' :p:

Karl Marx was most powerful in his role as a critic. He exposed capitalism in all its naked horror, including its inherent contradictions, capture of surplus value, monopolization of productive forces, condensation of wealth in ever-smaller pockets of society, exploitation of labor and...

Not a 'Princeling'. A Princeling is someone who traces their family pedigree to the early CCP. Tiffany Li's family is simply an opportunist beneficiary of the Dengist liberalisation reforms. These are called TuHao.

Not only that, we also saved hundreds of lives, both Chinese and foreign, when we were the first to ground Boeing 737 max and set an example for the rest of the world. Who knows how many more people could have died in those death traps if not for the timely intervention of our civil aviation...

It sounds like he is a fundamentalist Christian theocrat, and he is really angry that we stole his word "repent". Even though it has an entirely secular meaning in Chinese. It's really impossible to reason with fanatics like him.

Once bitten (by Plaza Accord), twice shy...

Disney is for children. What separates children from adults is that adults have a stable grasp of the difference between reality and make-believe, so juvenile story-telling elements (e.g. princesses, magic, men with superhuman powers who wear capes and their underwear externally) don't appeal to...

It's not lying. It's merely alternative 'Vedic' mathematics. Best case scenario is if Modi wins on a razor-thin margin.

You seem to be inclined to selectively interpret things in a way that suits your agenda. All I said is that China has the upper bargaining hand because Trump's negotiating position is a lot more desperate. But in the end, after he makes the appropriate concessions, he will get his trade deal...

you are assuming we want Trump gone. Trump has been good to us so far. It's almost as if his motto has been MCGA :china:

75 years after WWII, it seems Japanese pilots still have that Kamikaze spirit. They just love to die :coffee: Anyway, this is exactly why Turkey is not fazed by US threats to withhold F-35 if they follow through with the S-400 deal. Because the F-35 is a flying hunk of garbage only suited for...

On the other hand, Trump will not get re-elected if he fails to secure a trade agreement with us and the US economy tanks as a result. Seems we hold all the cards right now :coffee:

Sounds like the same division of labor between Russia and India for the Brahmos "joint project". Russia manufactures the missile, and then India paints 'BRAHMOS' and some cute national flags over it :smitten:If that's the case for "Vietnamese 5G", then we should all support more CN-VN "joint...

And the politicization of education in the US continues unabated :coffee: Note that this has very serious ramifications for the scientific and technological development of a country. The USSR promoted Lysenkoist pseudoscience because they thought the theory of Darwinian selection was too...

If Duterte thinks its a "suicide mission", that shows he knows the US will not come to assist PH, and the US-PH alliance treaty is just worthless toilet paper.

In a normal country operating under the rule of law, illegally obtained evidence is not admissible in a court. Coming right after Meng Wanzhou's abduction, it really does appear that US has become some kind of banana republic.

This is Obama's 'red line' fiasco again. Cai is making threats she can't back up. She is learning from the US school of diplomacy: bluff and bluster until your face turns blue, and hope no one calls you out.

China doesn't export communism any more, even if we once did in the early Cold War. When Duterte slaughters communist insurgents in the PH, we just shrug our shoulders. Truth be told, lots of countries would benefit from Chinese-style socialism and Marxism-Leninism, as it would check the power...

Rich USians abandoned cities because they want to avoid ghetto blacks, Hispanic gangbangers, fentanyl-addicted white trash, and other assorted creatures causing urban strife. I don't know why you are touting it as a positive point when this phenomenon only serves to illustrate the decayed social...
