    How China Could Challenge the Boeing-Airbus Duopoly

    As you pointed out, Russia, despite being making good plane for decades, had never managed to reach the same level. I guess one thing that China can take advantage of, which Russia lacked in the past, is its massive and growing domestic market. It provides a nursery for the domestic made plane...

    China passes law to make Islam 'compatible with socialism'

    $15 billion investment package likely from UAE including mega oil refinery in Pakistan

    This is a fantastic news. There have been many rumors about massive investment from KSA and UAE since the inception of CPEC but it is great to see large investment from these two nations, which is a vote for confidence in Pakistan’s future economy. I think KSA and UAE have been watching...

    CNN: Why the US would never win a trade war with China

    The author clearly has no consideration on what her investors want to hear. She will get far more subscribers and funds if she writes a China collapsing story. Or maybe she just doesn’t care with 1tr fund under her watch :woot:

    Is it the China slowdown or is it just Apple?

    Review: Inglorious Empire by Shashi Tharoor

    WATCH: Australian Cop Shoves Driver, Tells Him ‘Go Back to China'

    My respect to this fine gentlemen Mr Strik for confronting the this policeman while he could have just walked. This kind of behavior should not be tolerated at any circumstance, particularly so for police. Let's not generalize this too much as most police are decent and professional men/women.
