Well, Japan is usually pretty soft on China for human rights or lack of democracy. Japan was the first major country to reestablish ties with China after 1989 Tiananmen Square protest.

How much did it cost? I estimate 900 to 1000 millions.

Speech made by Nixon in 1994, 20 years ago. A controversial president, but a person that I hold in high regards for he changed the history of the world with his visit to China and USSR in 1972. He is a man with incredible vision, it is fascinating how everything that his words still hold high...

Almost 70 years actually.

Chinese 052c 052d 054a are pretty good ships.

why france choose to get involved with this mess?

If China had a fishing fleet this strong 300-400 years ago, it would be a dominant naval power. Back then, a naval ship was just a fishing ship with a few cannons on board.

LOL buddy, every post that I read from you involves some nuclear threat. Good thing you are not a leader of China.

The KMT mostly took the Japanese weapons from the Japanese that surrendered everywhere outside of Manchuria. They never had control of Northern China, so CCP took the Japanese equipments from Manchuria.

To be fair, the soviet probably contributed more to the PLA in its early history, but the captured japanese equipment cannot be understated. How else would Mao have ended up arming his million man army after the war? There was no industrialization in China at that time, and USA has been...

Right after the war, USSR captured 640 thousand + Japanese troops and used them for slave labor in Siberia. Some stayed there for 10+ years. CCP also wouldn't have won against KMT without the captured Japanese equipments. Japan had 1.2 million troops in Manchuria, and Stalin gave all the...

Asian cultures tend to respect teachers more. In USA, teachers are look down upon as failures so they have to end up teaching kids that no one wants to be around. In Asian cultures, you have to be respectful to your former teachers and address them by laoshi or sensei, even when you become...

Why Japan Will Never Be a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council | The National Interest Blog Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s recent tour of South America, Central America and the Caribbean has been characterized by the international media as an attempt to match—if not outdo—Chinese...

Never heard of that. Asian cultures generally revere the elderly for their contribution to society. It is a big Confucian value that is shared with Japan.

Bad relations with China can only hurt Japan's economy.

Seems extremely inefficient to go to the restroom with. There is a reason why almost all asian country has switched to western style clothes, they are just superior.

type 054a is truly an impressive ship. It is most cost effective ship capable of VLS. I think if a type 054a equivalent was built in USA or Japan, it would cost 600-700ish million. China did so with only 250 million because of cheap chinese labor. Dude, 2 billion thai dollars is like ~50...

Brazil, India, South Africa, what happened? I thought you were suppose to support your BRICS brothers.

Pretty stupid IMO. They hate Chinese so they want to bomb a Filipino airport? That doesn't even make sense.

Only 48 vls. Burke has 96 vls, 2 times as many. Hope 055 can match a tico in terms of vls.
