    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    Whatever idea the USA and friends will come up with is all directed towards one single goal; To slow down China's progress with whatever available means. Nothing new - and so far nothing is stopping China's continued rise. No one is even able to proof that such actions are slowing down China -...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Absolutely - and Putin has the same thoughts towards NATO and the USA. Aside from territorial gains, thus enhancing economic and political gains on both sides, this whole issue is about two systems confronting each other - authoritarian contra democracy. - that all there is to it.

    Apple to produce iPad in Vietnam for the first time

    Erecting an EV charging network in a country is one thing - I don't see Vietnam having that kind of money, maybe I am wrong. Manufacturing or assembling vehicles is another issue. Manufacturing? like I stated before maybe from 2035/40 onward - till then it is assembly which includes sourcing...

    If no one stops him, or is able to stop him - yes off course - that is his "vision" after all.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Sure - an absolute monarch usually ignores it's citizens requests. The CCP would be ill advised to not react accordingly to justified demands by it's citizens. If democracy would solve all this, then why are there constantly huge demonstrations in these countries? Aren't the political...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    It sure looks that way - and Putin's "vision" is to change that. And Ukraine to him is not just about NATO but to set territorial boundaries in Russia's favor. And IMO - he is not going to give up on that policy.

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    Not really - they have community and city committees were people are free to bring in complaints - and they are doing it more and more. It's is the CCP job to listen to those complaints and take respective action - which is mostly the case. As long as the respective information is correct -...

    Apple to produce iPad in Vietnam for the first time

    No - they can't. Manufacturing and Assembly are two very different things. Let me give you two examples: Engine - there is no way that an OEM will set up an engine plant in a market that offers less the 500,000 units for the respective OEM Engine Chain - a very simple looking product actually...

    China China is building a yuan currency reserve to compete with the dollar and prop up other economies facing volatility

    I don't see anything substantially being wrong with statements or posts on in this China section. Some times folks get carried away. Whatever has been posted since my being here (and as far as I can judge - also before me) is substantiated info in regards to news coming from the Chinese side...

    Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

    And Putin aka the Russian government is willing to pay that price - knowing that NATO in Ukraine being just 500km from Moscow - will be a far more heavier price to pay in the future.

    Me too :) - maybe in 5 years? if the USA keeps up inciting this issue. Anyway many Mainland Chinese are holidaying and scuba-diving already on some of those island belonging to the province of Taiwan.

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    What do you define to be "heavy"? Annual income up to 36,000Rmb US$5200 = 3% tax Annual income from 420,000-660,000Rmb, US$ 60,000-95,000 = 30% The Chinese income taxation system and social welfare deduction is more or less the same as in Germany Because the CCP announced that they have...

    Taiwan rebuffs Philippines complaint about S. China Sea live fire drills.

    No surprise there since the ROC claim still beholds the 11 dash line, in contra to the PRC's 9 dash line. Maybe the US Navy and their allies need to look into protecting the Philippines towards Taiwan's aggressive actions.

    Ideology is a theoretical construct that if implement practically -feasible - is supposed to help a society to achieve a better living and social character. If an ideology proves to be advantages for a country and it's citizens - like the CCP for China then it is an ideology that needs to be...

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    Some statement might be propaganda whilst others are facts. Despite China having 100 million poor they still are a rich and powerful nation - as any GDP or military statistic will show. The trouble amongst the neighbors needs to be resolved "diplomatically" amongst the neighbors since all claim...

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    An article from 2012 !!! These kind of terrible occurrences - are happening throughout the world incl. e.g. the USA or even Germany. It is the reason as to why the CCP and Xi started this anti-poverty program in the first place. Just as this horrible issue with a man thought dead - but...

    Apple to produce iPad in Vietnam for the first time

    I couldn't tell you, since I see no viable present or future circumstance that would indicate Mercedes loosing it's market position, other then maybe to BMW or VW-Audi group. I wouldn't even be surprised if in 10 years or more Mercedes is owned by some Chinese company or consortium. The greed or...

    Biden announces Indo-Pacific economic pact to counter China

    No - they are not starving in China - since as I stated already the government and their families are helping to take care. And with e.g. US$ 140 = 1000Rmb no one would be starving, even without help - the average daily food expense in China's poorest areas for self cooking is around 15 Rmb/day...
