No, so Xi should indeed continue the lockdowns and locking up people in their homes to prove CCP's superior governance.

Nah they believe in 人定胜天 (man prevailing over heaven's will) and can beat Covid with their superior governance.

Don't bother. If they are right that Taiwan is already de facto under the PRC, why do they need to keep talking about reunification lol. They know that Taiwan is already self-governing like other countries with their own President, parliament etc, but they are just pissed that admitting that...

No restrictions: / But I do agree that China, if it opens up, will see much higher death rates and healthcare system under pressure for the first few months. Singapore has built up a very high level of immunity through multiple waves of infections since last year and very high levels...

Whether Xi likes it or not, he will be forced to change. Not even a full blown dictator like Kim Jong-Un and a fully isolated North Korea can stop Covid. Even with extreme measures like chaining doors and locking up people like pets, China still reported ~30K infections yesterday. To pursue...

Must be frustrating.

Lolwut. Who decides their policy towards the US then? China? Towards mainland China? China?

As I've said before, Taiwan actually has more autonomy than most EU countries despite not being recognized by the UN. They can decide their own fiscal and monetary policy to best suit their own needs.

You are right. Taiwan will vote to join China in a referendum tomorrow if given the chance. LOL.

Still, I think $200bil is an overkill. They only have 300K citizens out of 3mil population. If they can invest their reserves professionally, they would have a sufficient steady stream of income for their small native population. Assuming an annual return of 5%, the opportunity cost of the...

Indos is right. For Qatar, $200bil includes a lot of other infrastructure spending. For Malaysia, AFAIK the government didn't even fork out a cent. It's a private development. And $100bil is probably the eventual cost, I doubt they have already spend that much.

Not stupid, but too prideful to admit that their zero-Covid policy they are so proud of is not sustainable and too prideful to do a policy U-turn. Too much copium inhaled to rationalize why they are special and better than the rest of the world. Lesson learnt for us, never engage in ideological...

That's some HK-levels of housing density. Tall buildings side by side, blocking sunlight and airflow in the area. I find it amusing that Malaysia with so much empty land had to reclaim a new island off the western coast of Singapore and cram together so many luxury apartments, while not too far...

Inb4 millions of Covid deaths in the US and India. Inb4 Chinese government choosing hard mode is an example of good governance.

My friend said that even with the German team covering their mouths they still couldn't stop the Japanese from shoving their massive mosaic ochinchins down their throats LMAO.

Yeah, the rest of the world is not as smart as China and only China has good governance. I don't have a problem with that as I don't live in China, in fact businesses and HNWIs are moving here from China. So please continue to enjoy your lockdowns while the rest of the world have to live on easy...

Massive copium inhaled by @kankan326 as always. Covid lockdowns: "Giving up zero Covid policy is the easiest thing for a government. Chinese government choosing hard mode is another example of good governance." Poor football performance: "Chinese sucks at football because China has a fair and...
