Li Yuan, founder of the Tang dynasty had a ethnic Han father and Xianbei mother. The Xianbei tribes occupied a vast stretch of land over today's Mongolia and Manchuria, so were probably proto-Mongolic, proto-Tungusic. Anyway, from a genetic standpoint, there are no pure Han people today...

You forgot the Saxons from Saxony and to a lesser the extent, the Jutes from northern Germany. These were brutish pirates who settled alongside the Angles. To this day the Celts are still being oppressed in the UK, much like how the Yamato Japs have oppressed the Ryukans and Ainu.

That's why invasion will always be a last resort for the CCP. Status quo always. In the event the final red line is breached (Taiwan declaring independence) an economic and naval blockade will achieve the same end with far less casualties and economic cost.

Taiwan has the best healthcare system in the world. Their NHI puts our MediShield/Medisave/MediFund to shame. But while the NHI provides universal access to psychiatric care, social stigma and poor awareness lead to under-treatment of mental illness. Staff shortage also aggravate the situation...

Ditto for the Anglo-Saxons, also descendants of Germanic tribes. (If you've studied Old English, you'd notice the similarity with German.) They cause the most trouble in the world.

No matter. Latest survey shows 51% of Taiwanese support status quo or reunification. The DPP is a corrupt traitorous party that's running Taiwan's economy into the ground, and their pro-Japan stance will cause a civil war sooner rather than later. Pop your corn and watch the show.

There are more Chinese restaurants than Western ringing Tiananmen. The historical Quanjude has one branch on the east side and one on the south.

Thailand has become the land of white trash. Phuket thronging with rude and loud Russians now. Immigration singboards only in English, Russian and Chinese. Throw in Thai girls and ladyboys and you get a volatile mixture.

Try harder, US shill. I stopped reading at The Great Translation Movement, a discredited movement that was banned by Reddit and other portals for doxxing and sensationalist posts. Even CNN noted that media experts cautioned that "the posts do not show a holistic view of public opinion in China...

He had more balls than 99.99% of Sinkies. But being disbarred took away his raison d'etre since his whole life revolved round fighting for the underdog and challenging the jurisprudence in areas where he felt the law was unjust and inadequate. Looks like a case of OD, maybe intentional. Of...

A strong defence is a great deterrent to war. That said, China has a 'no first use' declaration for nuclear arms, something that the US or Russia are too chicken to commit to

RIP Ravi. I knew him. A very nice chap brimming with idealistic optimism. His heart was always in the right place even if his antics didn't go down too well with some quarters. And because he was the only human rights lawyer in Singapore, often putting his lot with dissidents of the regime, the...
