Why do you think 10% growth is "healthy" or sustainable? And why marks the line at 10%? If a government wants high GDP growth, it can always inflate (like USA or India), but it only looks good on paper and does not translate well to the well-living of the normal citizen.
I think putting too...
I totally agree, "the vote" has been too glorified over other essentials such as the substance that supports good life and safe society. To me, American style democracy has become nothing but a new religious belief.
I think firstly I want to clarify the meaning of "democracy" to me. "Democracy" does not mean one person one vote to me because I believe in "meritocracy", and so my definition for "democracy" is the accountability and responsiveness of the government to the people. (Of course meritocracy...
obviously BS made-up crap equals fact to you, nothing is 100%, don't use generalized exaggeration and make it "fact".

This incident just showed how weak Ma is. Ma is not strong enough to be a leader. He's just a whimpy guy who cannot decide anything big!!!
First Ma sells his soul to the Japanese with the fishing agreement around dioyu island, then now he simply uses his mouth to condemn his incident?? Where's...
wow, you are a bit disgusting in a sense that you admitted yourself that you were also one of the people that participating in this housing bubble, squeezing out profit as you said. And on the other hand you are criticizing the government of not doing enough to tame the bubble? I wonder what...
Economic and military power dictate everything. Soft power does not exist without the former two powers.
It was that way in the past.......and still is today.
I wonder why there's no articles with a title such as "The unthinkable resolution for China and the rest of the worlds to live peaceful and happily ever after"?????
Why always so negative.?
.........please don't fall into the trap...it's an obvious troll thread to try to stir up emotions and wrangles from both sides (mainland, tw) to hate each other
Chinese doesn't mean Han. Chinese are all the cultures and ethnics that comprise of it.
And to my understanding, the ethnic...
As long as they're not buying houses for the sole purpose of earning money (such as wallstreet.....) then it's all good. Houses are for people to live not for earning money.
What this mother did is nothing wrong, she's just a little richer than the average moms :argh:
Similar event also happened when 馬英九 became leader. His brother-in-law sold his company and all the stock he had so they won't drag 馬英九
So I do believe 習近平's brother sister in law also did the same thing since...

Gordon Chang has been saying that for the past 10 years.....................................The assumption that the current policies or any trend will hold for the next 5 to 10 years is simply irrational.
