I have never denied my prejudice toward the American Govt:) The American people are different, I have no problem with them. The pugnacious actions of the state don't reflect on them. There is a big difference between Japan and Singapore. Did the Chinese kill hundreds of thousands of people while...
Bingo:) On a serious note we are discussing the concept of "more damage than good." China may have interfered in Singapore but the country is flourishing today rather than being stuck inside a pothole. This is the key difference:)
Gambit, when did I say no other country didn't interfere in the businesses of other states:) But there is no comparison to America, it's number one in this field and has caused the most harm from its policies.
I agree with your analysis. Deng Xiaoping promised 50 years unconditionally of a two system one country rule, so it must be kept, but that doesn't mean you can't bring some changes slowly. A radical shift in a short span of time is a risky business. It always makes me laugh though when Great...
I understand why Deng Xiaoping left HK as it is purposely. But in my opinion China has gone past that stage. From my understanding of China, when they want to test something they use Shanghai as a pilot project and if it passes the test, then the policy is enacted across China.
HK is a...

This a great example of ignoring the armchair politicians in this forum and following what the leaders decide. End of the day those who hate China are irrelevant and that puts a smile on my face knowing this reality angers them. China is one ally the Muslim world can...
I agree. China shouldn't allow the CIA or MI6 to fund any group in Hong Kong. But they are insignificant. The real issue is the mentality of Hong Kong people it needs to change.
In regards to the opposite side. I have another Hong Kong friend who hates the Mainland Govt. There were many reasons, such as the housing crisis, overpopulation (migration coming from the mainland), language issue (in his opinion Cantonese was the official language of most dynasties) and...
These protests are nothing new. I remember my Hong Kong friend telling me once of a similar situation in 1997. Before Britain handed Hong Kong over to China, the public was hearing all sorts of stories. One of them was the financial collapse of Hong Kong. Some people sold their flats at a dirt...
Look at the Chinese haters. The same people have come over and are bringing the same garbage to this thread. I have come to the decision of ignoring these clowns. Let them play armchair politician in this forum because they have nothing better to do in the real world.
I have a good friend in...
The population of Guatemala was 3 million in 1954 of which this policy at the onset benefited half a million people. This percentage would have increased if the policy was given more time. It's not rocket science to understand that when you redistribute land from the rich to the poor on an equal...
How can they have removed the Govt without weapons? I'm sure the good people of Guatemala didn't sing to change the Govt:) Jacobo Arbenz would have continued been the President if America didn't intervene. We can't revise history:) These land reforms benefited the majority. Look at the record of...
These statues are definitely from the period of Gandhara. Their style was influenced by the Greeks. I hope we can promote this civilization and history to bring in tourism.
