The land. Why do people keep on asking this? A land without people is often more attractive than a land filled with people that are against you. One of many reasons why US chose not to annex Mexico even after they had taken it.

I don't think Taiwan should just accept. It should negotiate a version that works better for it. For example, it should ask to retain the military. It should ask freedom of extending its own parties into the mainland. It should ask a certain number of seats in China's people's parliament filled...

This is just silly. Ideally, in every conflict the other side should just give up. We all know that ideal result. We don't need a general to tell us that.

Human history is filled with such persons. It is a part of human nature. Our empathy has a range.

Even then, their view may not be going against their government, while Chinese certainly will. When a government reaches to almost every part of people's lives, its responsibility grows proportionally.

Shouldn't what?

Ideology fighters don't like do such a mundane work. :)

Wouldn't that be great? Let Nazis kill themselves.

US would finally achieve the goal of "those who don't obey don't eat".

Of course. Throughout the years, Mao often spoke something provocative. He was not under strict restriction of political correctness. He was pretty much the emperor, not some elected official. Chinese know it well and it is often viewed as political shrewdness.

I suspect some European companies are secretly buying Ruble contrary to what their governments say. Or maybe they collude in this game. Well, there is another way saying this. Since Ukrainians are willing to die for their country, weapons supplied by the West simply help them fulfill their wishes.

UnionPay should promote aggressively in Russia. With that, buying stuffs on aliexpress.com would be a lot easier.

Only idiots take such a phrase literally.

You are confused by the word "lead". No the West did not "lead" the world into modernity in the sense that the word "lead" is proactive, like what the current West is doing. The West "led" the world into modernity by example in the sense that the word "lead" is passive. I am anti-west about the...

Since you are in US, you should have known the difference between Americans and Chinese regarding death. Americans abhor man-made and intentional death but tolerate death by natural causes. This pandemic, though some Americans blame on China, is still largely viewed as a natural phenomenon...

That would be fun to watch. :D

It is still a market value. Just not a FREE market value. With sanctions, market isn't free anyway.

There was a joke on how Taiwan could change the situation: dig dirt up on its west coast and dump it on the east coast. Not really at the wandering earth scale, but you sure get a wandering island.

It won't be nothing. It is land. Just like stock investment, if you wait for the bottom in order to buy in, you would wait forever.

One thing to admire Genghis Khan is that though his army was a super efficient killing machine, they looted quite orderly. All loots were cataloged and divided among all his troops, including those who had fallen.
