Where did I blame anything on the Uyghurs? It was you who claimed Han migration to Xinjiang was to dilute the native population, and you based your claim on demographics statistics of the Xinjiang as a whole. I was merely pointing out that the vast majority of Han migration occurs in North...

Oh the emotional maturity of the Indian leadership:what:. Economically, India is not competing against China. India is competing against Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian countries are trying their best to maintain good trade relation with everyone. India is hellbent on tanking its trade relation...

The overwhelming majority of Han Xinjiangnese live in North Xinjiang, which had been underpopulated since the Dzungar genocide (well it was underpopulated even before the genocide). Xinjiang's capital Urumqi started as a Qing garrison town in 1755, housing mostly Han troops. A lot of Kazaks were...

Do South East Asian countries listen to each other's music?

This Nanguan Mosque in particular has over 400 years of history. It was built during Ming and later relocated and expanded. The mosque was demolished during the Cultural Revolution and rebuilt in 1981 in an 'Arab' style even though the original structures were traditional Chinese architecture...

It's the only example of its kind in Fujian. Quanzhou was a major trading port at that time with a lot of Arab traders. Some of them built a mosque. It's an isolated case and nothing more.

The mosque is not even in Xinjiang. It's in Ningxia.

Niujie Mosque, the oldest and biggest mosque in my hometown Beijing. It's built around the 10th century, then expanded/renovated in 14th, 15th, 17th and early 20th century. The official name ('Li Bai Si') was given by Emperor Xianzong of Ming in 1474. Grand Mosque of Xi'an. The legend...

I thought they were buying European luxury sports brands like Scarpa. I guess India is now buying ' high altitude warfare kits' because the prices for civilian outdoor gears are just too transparent to 'motive' their procurement officers.

I thought India has socialism written into its constitution? "WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC" As one of the most unequal societies on earth India is not socialist. Having a Hindu nationalist party...

So India sits near the bottom of World Hunger Index and China right at the very top. Yet in another thread we have Indian members ready to celebrate China's "coming famine".

Old data. Young Chinese are now significantly taller than their Japanese counterparts. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03014460.2020.1766564?journalCode=iahb20

And what’s your point? Do you deny that for most people speaking Standard Mandarin is a requirement for a successful professional career in China? Countries have compulsory education to make sure kids learn what they need to learn. All Chinese students are taught English despite some parents‘...

You do realise that the majority of people in China speaks Standard Mandarin as a second language, right?

Good. Make the nouveau riche even easier to spot.

No Alan Dawa Dolma is natural. She graduated from a PLA performing arts academy and they don't allow no plastic surgery there. Here's her performance with Han Hong upon her graduation. No major difference from what she looks now. As for looking Japanese, it's more a matter of Japanese...

According to the weibo post @Dungeness linked, it's simply because his facial hair grow too fast. The article is written by a former military academy classmate and posted by Xinjiang Military Region's official account, so pretty credible.

I can definitely see Germany jumping in if India agrees to buy a few dozen German subs. The only thing better than cannon fodder is cannon fodder that pays you.
