Another China debt trouble article, it is getting boring... If one look at some hard numbers from IMF debt database between US, China and Japan (Japan is here for comparative purpose) :) % Debt of GDP at 2017/2018 Japan private (household)- 57% Japan private (corporate)- 101% Japan Public...

This is a good example of how a daily incident being handled poorly by the hotel operator and local police. When a guest arrive earlier in a.m. hours, it was dark and cold outside, what they were trying to do was waiting in the lobby and wait out. I bet this kind of scenarios happen millions of...

It is always amusing to see how a group of usually intelligent and rational posters in a wide range of military and economic matters have all the sudden become so irrational and churn out nonsense when US China trade dispute is concerned. Back on topic. Have any nation in the history of...

If you have time, go to Zhangjiajie National park, a place with extremely unique landscape inspired Avatar.

I think it is beneficial to talk a little bit about the early journey when China was open for foreign investment and how Chinese local industry bounced and reached this point. In the early days of China’s reform, China setup a few special economic zones to allow foreign companies to invest and...

Finally some balanced view is told...

My 2 cents here. Firstly I hope you agree that Pakistan’s trade agreement with China is already pretty good. It is also true that it is not superior better than other countries like Vietnam, which can be hostile to China politically. What you are talking about is preferential agreement that...

One should not underestimate US’ resolve to stop China’s rise to preeminence. There will be ongoing struggles and it will be intensified even further between these two nations over the next 50 years.

It has another well known name: Keynesian economics.

That is about the same amount that China is investing in its most important ally Pakistan along. :china::pakistan: Still a big sum nevertheless.

Truly wish the two proud and old civilizations can work together and repeat the past achievements in modern era. keen to learn a bit more about the project, please share more information if available.

Haha high expectation is definitely upon him. He did well, dunking, blocking and sinking 3’s. He stayed out of paint probably because he was told to do so (to draw Haddadi out). With Haddadi and another Iranian center, there was absolutely no room for clashers like Ding to operate. Ding tried to...

The Chinese red team played well against Iran. They were down 18 points at one point of the game but managed to come back and win the game. Some personal impressions on players: Zhou Qi: already the best player in the team. provided great defence for the team by rebounding and blocking. His...

Well, there are some people believe trade war is beneficial to them and they will come out like a “winner”. There are no such thing as winners but losers in a trade war. How naive... let them eat soybeans as dinner now...:woot:

Hopefully Pakistani businesses can take advantage of this wonderful event to showcase their products, forge business relationships and capture market opportunities in China. :yahoo:

One of my favorite players in the national red team, except for Ding YYH. Despite his age, he has quickly established himself as a starter(ish) in the red team with his high energy, versatility in offense and physical tools in defense. His off ball movement is outstanding in the team, creating a...

This one together with some cultural events that were determined as too superstitious and don’t add value to the advancement of the nation has been removed in mainland China. Naturally it is a bit controversial. Personally I am all for it. To be fair, it has always been controversial when any...

How unfortunate you are still limited by the notion that it is just a trade route. You may struggle to see it but it is understandable. With regards to investment in other eastern Asian countries, some of them may offer better short term returns but what China is looking for is far beyond the...

Well put. What China is looking to achieve in Pakistan via CPEC is exactly the same as what US was trying to achieve in the post war Europe via Marshall Plan- to make Pakistan an economically strong ally through aggressive investment. Some comments have mentioned the move is strategic but...

Shouldn’t need a battery to store the power. When you are using solar to generate power during the day to meet demand, thermal plants can reduce their output and save gas. Effectively you are “storing” the gas that can be used to generate power during night.
