Every one learns putonghua in China. (Listen to all the Uighur actresses like Dili Reba speak perfect Mandarin.) Unlike Singaporeans who can't even speak one single language well. Their putonghua policy has been an unqualified success in establishing a lingua franca, even more successful than...

BYD is cancelling plans to build a plant in Mexico to export to the US. But they're going ahead with a factory in Brazil. America's loss, Brazil's gain. That's how Trump's stupid tariffs are screwing up choices for your average Joe who's stuck with limited choice and high prices due to Tesla's...

China has high tariffs? 100% like Trump? You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, that's for sure. America's tariffs ard threateninb to kill world trade, and splinter it into trading blocs, while China has been having tariff-free trade with many of its major trading partners. LOL. Dumping...

Basically, a deeply insulting form letter sent out to the other heads of state with just the country, head of state and tariff amounts changed. All being published on Truth Social. The big ones of the EU, India and Taiwan yet to come. Vietnam and the UK already caved and the discussions with...

How to fight global warming? Why all countries including Sg panicking about rising sea levels and melting polar caps?

From the Japanese social media (give it to the Japs - they maybe bastards, but they sure are smarter than the ACS here): Mind-Blowing Chinese Military Paradox China's defense tech is rewriting the rules of warfare: •⁠ ⁠They build the world's deadliest drones... AND the most advanced...

LOL. Even the Europeans are waking up in the face of the tariffs - they know they can't trust the Americans anymore. If you think the Yanks have your backs, think again. It's every man for himself in geopolitics. Has China slapped any tariffs on its trading partners?

How did they bite back? By trading among themselves because they found they were exploited by the West? Many of these countries are still failed states or extremely poor despite years of 'aid' and trade with the West. Highly indebted too - can't even pay off interests on loans by the WB and IMF...

You must be a retard. First the floods are in the north-west; 3 Gorges Dam only help prevent floods in the Yangtze valley. Next, floods are happening all over the world due to record rainfalls, if you only bother to read the news: Europe, US, Australia, India... Climate change has not only...

Basically, if Taiwan doesn't declare independence, it will be status quo with China. More trade, more economic integration, eventually it will be de facto reunification. But the West is trying to cucuk, trying to weaken China to get it embroiled in a war with Taiwan (like Russia & Ukraine)...

Other tariff letters sent out, with threats of much higher tariffs if the country responds in kind and also extra anti-China trans-shipping tariffs. The letters are incredibly insulting and condescending, with most definitely a colonial feel about them. Oh, and the threat of another 10% that...

Other ASEAN nations play it smart - stay neutral - get the best trade deal with US and China, don't take sides. Singapore is stupid, suck up to AMDK, even though we are a signatory of NAM (Non-Allied Movement), the whole world sees us as a US porlumpar. We have no friends in ASEAN, maybe only...

Singapore is a US lackey, in spite of its oft-proclaimed 'neutrality'. That's why ASEAN sees a Singapore as the Israel of SE Asia.

No one does it at home. Only in commercial kitchens and hawker stalls where you have a big enough fire. The key is cleaning up after frying or cooking curry. Malay kitchens are spotless even though they cook sambal every day. The Indians don't bother to clean up. And ghee is more tenacious...

Play with words: 'did not cause excess deaths during the pandemic'. Most of the excess deaths from mRNA vaccination are showing up now: sudden cardiac deaths, turbo-cancers, depressed immunity to many pathogens, Long COVID...

America's greatness was undisputable up to the 70s where there was a huge middle class, great innovation, very little poverty, very little unemployment and decent social safety nets. There was the American dream, and it was for real. Today's America is living on past glories: the highest income...

You're behind the times. A generation ago, the Chinese depended on reverse engineering and copycat strategies. Today they're almost catching up with the US in terms of absolute R & D spending, and surpassed the US in per capita GDP R & D spending. China is the already largest contributor to...

This I agree with 100%. Problem is when you have small segment of billionaires, 50% sandwiched middle class, 45% poor farmers and rising income gap, you get social unrest. No elections means CCP may be toppled, maybe another revolution. Eventually for China to be rich and great and...
