China produces way more steel than it needs to. The steel industry is basically a state-run employment program with tremendous environmental costs. It must be scaled down. A good place to start is to ban Australian iron ores and stop producing low standard steel for export. Reduces China's...

You’re overestimating South Europeans. According to the Lancet data, young Chinese, not just Northerners, are already taller than young Italians.

Straight from the Lancet. I'm surprised Mongolians are so short. Isn't the country overran with cattle and sheep?

I'm all for China buying Maine lobsters instead of Australian. Californian wine too. Now Australia has reduced itself to America's bulldog, why should China care about how a dog thinks when we can go directly to its master?

The idea that China and U.S. are engaging in some kind of space race is invented by space advocates to get more funding. China is not racing against anyone.

People are just being kind. Sometimes being kind is more important than being open-minded.

Nay, not even Korean Chinese want to be associated with the South Koreans. North Koreans are better liked though. As for the Japanese, as long as they continue to use Han characters and teach Chinese texts in their high school Japanese classes, Chinese will continue to feel a certain degree of...

In the time of war South Korea won't even have command over its own military. I'm sure Americans are going to bring in the maintenance once a war breaks out.

Does the Vietnamese government have any plans for carbon neutrality? China now has a goal of carbon neutrality by 2060 and Japan/South Korea are going with 2050.

I should have been clearer that I was using East Asia as a geopolitical term rather than a cultural term. Vietnam is geopolitically a part of Southeast Asia. It's a member of ASEAN rather than part of the "+3". We have the China–Japan–South Korea trilateral summit which Vietnam isn't a party...

While I don't doubt the patriotism of that young woman, content creators in general often just say whatever that'll bring in the views. Posting those videos here is pointless.

Imagine Vietnam is not East Asian though. There are just four East Asian countries: China, Japan and the two Koreas. Vietnam is Southeast Asian and Mongolia is North Asian.

Pompeo has zero charisma. Just another faceless middle aged overweight corporate suit turned small time politician turned bureaucrat. I just don't see him electable as U.S. president.

You're confusing the illegal pretender government on Taiwan (ROC) with the legitimate government in Beijing (PRC).

Trump Jr.: Americans vote against their own interests, Antarctica votes against its own existence. America wins!

My biggest problem with Xpeng is their branding. In both Chinese and English the brand name sounds too geeky, like something you would drive to haul your self-built PC to a LAN party.

It hurts but part of growing up is to realize the world doesn't revolve around you. It's not about how many people in Vietnam want their country to join NATO, it's about how many people in NATO countries are ready for their sons and daughters to die intervening in a potential war between two...

Japanese politics are also dominated by political dynasties. Between 30% to 40% of seats in the Japanese parliament are handed down from father to son then to grandson. I was watching a Chinese content creator on Bilibilli/YouTube and his idea (not sure how original it was) was that...

Here's a better title: "Nukes could have neutralised Chinese intrusions at LAC and India did have them"

Ethnic Chinese majority cities. Singapore is quite diverse.
