The internal inflation in Iran is partly caused by the difficulty it has to import the goods they need. Iran dosen't produce much industrial goods.
For Pakistan, it will be a different story. China produce almost anything people need in their live. Pakistan and China will do business as...
Baring all the challenges from inside and outside, China is an economy 4 times bigger than India and still growing twice as fast as most of it's neighbors. God must work mysteriously.
It is in China's interest to maintain peace and economic growth of the region but I would think that it is up to Thailand and Cambodia themselves to settle the disputes, peacefully, first. I don't think China will play 'the big brother' in the Thai-Cambodian issue.
It is important for both of...
China try to maintain good relations to both of the two countries. So it makes China in a place of a little bit of awkward. Thailand is currently (and will remain so) way stronger than Cambodia in both military and economic power. Some in Bangkok even claim to take the disputed territory by...
Little childish nationalistic paper article from Thailand.

I thought you gonna say 60 million is cheap. I was wondering since when the Vietnam got this rich...?
By the way which fighter do you mean by saying Chengdu's fighter? J7/Mig21, FC1/JF17, J10 or J20?
The cheapest one to replace Mig 21 could be the FC1/JF17, you can go to the Pakistan Air Force...
Turkey may want to be the leader of all Turkish speaking Central Asia countries. Yet it is just too weak to play that role.
In the past Turkey can't protect itself from the North (the Tsar), nor from the west (from Napoleon to WWI), nor from the North (Soviet). Even today Turkey enjoyed the...
It's within China's territory and it is ABOVE the atmosphere (other words "in the space").
And It's not "something no other country has ever achieved". The US has done it maybe decades before.
Are you insane? China will not use a nuclear war head to do a missile interception test within its home land.
The aura could be the fuel leakage which pushes the rocket to do the the spiral movement. And the light comes from the sun. The missile is hundreds miles above the atmosphere so there...
