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...

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...

Must be the work of the CCP. LOL -------------- https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/texas-officials-face-scrutiny-over-lack-of-evacuation-orders-before-deadly-flooding Texas officials face scrutiny over lack of evacuation orders before deadly flooding Nation Jul 6, 2025 12:38 PM EDT...

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...

My wife's aunt rented her apartment to an Indian family - 2 years' contract. When she got back her apartment after two years, the kitchen cabinets and walls were so filthy and stained with ghee she had to spend $20k to renovate the entire kitchen. After that she never rented her apartment to any...

Actually China is the world's largest market for many consumer goods: cars, cellphones, luxury items, renewable energy. Its auto market is the size of the US and Europe combined. All this is not reflected in trade figures (which show huge surpluses), because what China needs and buys, China...

And your point is? The floods must be caused by Xi and the CCP. Climate change is a myth. LOL.

After the US strikes on Iran, China said that the US remains the only country that can project power anywhere in the world. The Chinese sent two surveillance vessels to learn from the US, not to support Teheran. At no time did the Chinese claim military parity with the US. It's actually the...

You can say all you want... there's $20 trillion of USD circulating round the world in electronic form, but only $2.3 trillion in physical form. The US economy is just sustained on deficit spending and speculation in financial assets, not on real production of goods and services China buys...

Manufacturing is production of real goods. The real economy. Provides jobs, creates wealth, grows the economy. If coupled to adequate market signals overproduction can be largely avoided. The financialization of the US economy has resulted in increasing funds pouring into speculation in capital...

Patrick McGee: "Donald Trump is more of a threat to Apple's operations than Xi Jinping has ever been. Mr Xi and Mr Cook have the same interests. Apple gets abundant, cheap labour and world-class robotics. Xi gets the spillover effects that benefit Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and the broader electronics...
