seeing how big cities in the US and Western Europe are ravaged by drug abuse, I’d wholeheartedly support execution of drug traffickers. I mean Jakarta is not a perfect city but never have I seen drugs are exchanged and used in public in broad daylight like I have seen in some of major European...

Second rate ones usually supply half-finished products to the big ones or do the final fittings. So they dont really have market share via their own brands and models. And like I said, those who do have market share, have established foothold in the American market via their own brand and models...

Premise 1: Already have a (large) market share in Europe Premise 2: Will enter the American market For premise 1, this could be anything For premise 2... this is quite hard to decipher since German brand that already has a large market share in Europe has already established footholds in the...

just wondering why the Indian soldiers were not equipped with riot gears. I mean for melee fighting like these, riot gears like the shields carried by Chinese soldiers are expected to be put for use?

I dont think it is going to be a major change to the design. From what I understood, TNI is already firm on the design choice, but final configuration still needs to be done considering that our frigate might not be wielding the same weapons and sensors as the British variant does.

so what’s your solution for Indonesia to secure fuel supply cheaply and quickly with what’s available domestically that is already supported by an established supply chain? Palm oil based fuel is as green and sustainable as we can get that could fulfill the requirements above.

Nice architecture! I just wished it was encorporates more chinese arts. But Not sure about being the biggest in Southeast Asia since the Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta has a capacity of 120,000 for each congregation. That capacity has been expanded to 200,000 after recent expansion. There at least 4...

I see more often than not that China built elevated railways. In the urban population centres that is understandable, but in an open spaces like dessert?

If that includes motorcycle, then it is not much at all.

Yea I kinda second that. With many rebel factions are being financed by China, China is de facto controlling areas that these factions control.

Interestingly enough, i can confirm that from my interactions with my Chinese colleagues in my immediate circle. From what I gathered, they are quite enthusiastic when talking about the rise of Asian countries, including India, and even go so far to wishing that there should be a pan Asian...

Wow, why would US defense and federal pension funds be invested in Chinese companies?

Those UK parliamentarians sanctioned by China are part of group that is hostile specifically to China. The ambassador is not part of any group that threatens the UK but he was banned nevertheless for no other reason than the fact that China sanctioned those parliamentarians. Kinda sounds like a...

Two different projects, they are not competing rather they are complementing each other.

This is a good sign. Non renewable energy should no longer be exported as domestic demand increases and new energy sources might not be quickly available for mass uses. As Iron, steel, I think these are dominated by stainless steel as we are actually in deficit for crude steel needed for...

Except palm oil is not staple food. Furthermore, CPO production is over 51 million tons and domestic consumption currently accounts for just over 17 million tons. So there are enough CPO to spend for biodiesel.

It just simply makes more sense to use Yuan/Rupiah for bilateral trade and settlements as there will only be one cost of FX. Converting from Rupiah to Dollar, then Dollar to Yuan would just create unnecessary costs for both parties while indirectly benefiting dollars.

well there is some truth in that statements. Iraq today is nothing compared to Iraq in 80s and 90s. Economically, it had the ability to influence US economy through oil just like China does nowadays with manufacturing. Militarily, it used to have around 6000 tanks, largest air force in the...

Welcome to Indonesia. Judging from local news VinFast seems to have captured the attention of Indonesian Auto enthusiast, so there will be quite some audience there. But I guess VinFast will have to battle the Chinese automakers first before gunning for the likes Astra-Toyota, etc. Chinese...

Those countries have population numbers that are smaller than many Asian countries. GDP per capita is GDP divided by population, so the smaller your population is, the easier for you to reach high GDP per capita, at least on paper. Furthermore, per capita growth of many Asian countries is...
