A video on some of the earlier story w.r.t India: Some previous material of interest for readers to continue if they would like:

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/economy/policy/india-accelerates-talks-with-taiwan-on-7-5-billion-chip-plant-trade-deal/articleshow/86549579.cms India and Taiwan are in talks on an agreement that could bring chip manufacturing to South Asia along with tariff reductions on components...

In other words, water is wet.

Export to philippines proceeded under Trump, no obstacle there. Export to BD if Trump won 2nd term would have been similar. As US has no big issue with BD (in fact they are improving relations more). The issue was with US-Pakistan regarding that one, Turkey got caught in middle.

This is actually an example of more well known change from Peking ---> Beijing in the transliteration. The k ---> j shift from conservative literary register (that aligned with current cantonese more) to one of the northern vernacular. The drop (I mentioned earlier) that happened after Qing...

Not really. It is not the size of the sword that matters (too big it becomes unwieldy too), it is how sharp it is. I am firmly in the "Watson" category....in awe of those more like Holmes.

That is still two very different languages, and you are bilingual (most people in world are monolingual still). In fact you probably have these official linguistic terms to put w.r.t "agglutinative" and "fusional" (Turkish and English respectively) on what you inherently already were doing...

It is actually the pre-existing tribes of southern china (before Wu Di* expansion phase ) that provide another basis for Cantonese and Yue language in general being quite different to Mandarin. China might have absorbed them as Han a long long time ago, but certain artefacts remain in the spoken...

It would punish PRC whole lot more if you look at the investment routes it is reliant on (esp. otherwise*), combined with its continued heavy dependence on USD (debt printing and all) for forseeable future. US market cap can take a whole lot of trillions lost past "2" tbh since its just...

Folks interested in Indian economy should have a read of these and I can do a QnA here as required: https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/columns/is-indias-market-cap-headed-towards-5-trillion/article36616949.ece...

Gets to above 10 if you include semi-fluency in related dravidian languages like Kannada and Telugu. Like I can understand them to some degree (listening)....but not a comfy talker for it by any stretch. They often can do the same for Tamil....so in a way we understand each other but cant...

At full conversational comfy level: Tamil (and malayalam to similar degree....but that is kind of like Turkish and Azeri for you guys). English Hindi (and most of Urdu by that process) Cantonese (still learning to read characters though) French So I would say 5 number wise....by...

Forgot to expand one part of the convo:

I will try keep it short, the difference is considerable and big (it can be called another language even, since prima facie they are mutually unintellgible for the most part when speaking). The difference arises because of the written register differing greatly from the vernacular in the way it...

The OP has absconded after the bot spam reel (typical).....but he is approaching this all from "super consistent" basis as well....given what he will curate here, but clearly will use as bot spam elsewhere: Every single time he will wade into the India - Pakistan thing, his hypocrite legacy...

You are coming at this in redundant way. I am no fan of Modi.....especially given his dereliction of duty (at best) in Gujarat riots. I certainly would never harbour any desire to have Modi (or any politician/patrician in general) as my display pic. Joe's (at best) case for Modi was it was...

Xenon is agreeing with you. Rest of his post uses sarcastic tone.

Aussie police are acting like straight up Nazis lately. I get corona public health problem etc (with certain reservations I still have about such...but govt is gonna govt) .....but this is going way too far. They are needlessly building up a larger resentment against Australian state by its...

This is actually an excellent point you have brought up. Well done. This is known as a sensitivity analysis....and can be done in various appropriate blocks of resolution (time wise and/or composition wise)....and correlated to upstream factors (such as investment and MVA results) across same...
