Pretty good read. Basically, India's poor HDI, lack of infrastructure, corruption, internal division, as well as the lack of a positive image abroad is antithetical to India's goal of being a great power. India wants to be viewed in the same stature as China, but is unable to. Their only...

Seems like a BS article if you ask me. No verifiable facts or statistics, just sensational news to get people to click because it makes China looks bad. The soft-spoken 24-year-old paid a smuggler about $800 to guide her over the Himalayas to what she hoped would be freedom and a better life...

Even after this project, China still lacks water. Future Chinese leaders need to 1. Create more water desalination plants near the coast like the one Tianjin. 2. Clean the yellow river, as well as water from the hundreds of river around China so the water can be used. 3. Conserve rain water...

Woah, if SK ever gains naval control over NK, imagine how many troops this monster can land.

I think china and japan needs to put away the disputed island issue for at least 100 years.

I think it is possible in 5 to 10 years.

I don't necessarily think it is "fair" but it is (was) recognize by international law.

It is called in real life trolling. Bored people usually do that to get a reaction from the public.

I can see that as the case for some artifacts, but it is obvious that looted Buddhist statues belongs to the temple museum.

I believe returning a few looted artifacts can seriously improve Sino-Japanese relations. In 1972, when Japan PM visited China, he returned a few looted cultural artifacts back to China.

That is just looting.

Isn't that just stealing? War trophie should be weapons won from battlefield, not things stolen from noncombatants.

Why cant china build houses that looks traditional on the outside but modern in the inside?

Pretty common for Japanese to give up their sword when they surrender

The houses should look more like traditional Chinese houses, at least in the exterior.

Doesn't make sense unless they recently changed ppp calculations. China was 3 trillion behind us last year. But then again I have read sources stating that china ppp was understated because prices are much cheaper in rural china yet economists were using prices from tier 1 and 2 city to...

Tall skyscrappers are nice, but noting compared to ancient chinese architecture like forbidden palace, or summer palace. China should think of ways to blend traditional chinese architectures with modern skyscrappers.

I think people judge Mao too harshly from the west. China just fought over a century of war starting from the opium war until the Korean war. China desperately needed western aid, but somehow found herself isolated from both camps of the superpowers.

I think the true naval power of Asean is Vietnam. In 10 years, China will find her southern neighbor very formidable, much like Japan in 1895.

When UK took over HK, it was a fishing village with 3000 residents. When UK left HK, it was arguably the most advanced city in all of Asia with 7 million residents.
