Exactly. Japan was pissed when the Indonesian govt made 360° turn towards Chinese HSR but I am actually glad that decision was made. Japanese are known for taking too much time in infra projects which is reflected in the Jakarta MRT project phase 1. The Jakarta local government is now looking...

Issue with the West is commitment. They can promise whatever amount but whether it will actually be disbursed, that‘s another story. Besides, the West is currently not doing that great economically.

Oh I see, that‘s why only a handful of European countries are in the G7 and G20. Rest of them are basically losers that got to be dragged along.

I don't have one, I am a private person duh. Do you have one parked in your garage or something? But China, Indonesia do have that toy. And that without burying itself deep within debt like Greece does. And before you start bragging, Greece does not have HSR. It only has Higher Speed Rails...

You are a living proof of how horrible Greece is dude. There is simply no european country as horrible as Greece. Agree, I only point out its strategic position being similar to SG.

Nah, dont believe it buddy. There is an extent to your lies and this is it.

To be fair, Pakistan was not an economic powerhouse to begin with. To be really considered as one, Pakistan must really move on with not just militaristic rethorics and use its potential as a crossroad between multiple economic giants for trade. Much like Singapore is.

You couldnt imagine because your mother was smart enough not to stay in that hellhole called Greece. You should thank her dude.

And you are proud of that? Living off welfare from borrowed money? Well, I guess that’s just Greek mentality then. In the meantime, a Pakistani worker with that salary you deem small might end up having property of their own because their domestic purchasing power is higher. Furthermore...

You care, unfortunately the numbers dont live up to your fantasy. And you like to bring Greece up, you just dont when, again, the numbers are not on your side. What living standards? Unemployment rate around 14-15%? Overly indebted percapita? The fact that Greeks dont want even want to live in...

That‘s the point. Let’s not even take Shanghai, the city of Jakarta without the greater Jakarta metropolitan area already has a bigger GDP with USD 200+ billion compared to the entire GDP of Greece. An entire country could not even beat single cities’ GDPs in what Apollon said „hellhole“...

Ok so it should shrink like Greece's then? Even Ukraine under Russian attack since 2014 still managed to at least hold the trend. What a good economy you have there mate.

Greece looks "good" because other EU countries dragged it along with them. I'd say cut the tumor called "Greece" and the Eurozone will be in a much better financial health. Percapita is population/GDP. You can have a stagnant economy with a shrinking population and get a higher GDP per capita...

The Javanese is arguably the reason why Indonesia is largely stable when compared to countries with similar demographic make up (lots of different cultures and background). Javanese do not enforce their language to be the national language despite being almost half of Indonesian population...

Malaysia is welcome to try. This time the FPDA might not get involved though since MY is the aggressor. Would be a good 2nd try for Indonesia to invade Malaysia.

Most likely, the IA-CEPA is going to facilitate Lithium export to Indonesia. Indonesia is becoming major EV battery producer due to its status as the largest Nickel producer, but we are still missing one key component which is Lithium. Australia happens to be biggest Lithium producer in the world.

So you are saying Greece was indeed part of the Islamic world for quite some time right? You basically admit that the concept of "The West" is fluid and Greece was not always "The West". Therefore you are not "The West" as per modern definition of the word regardless your opinion. This should...

If you say so. You might want to check your Greece-ness just in case. Who knows if you are part turkish, part slavic or even Arab since Greeks had been part somebody else‘s „world“ for thousands of years. I meant you were part of the Islamic world as well until the start of the 20th century...

Foundation of the west, but not the West as we know it today. As I said, Greece and Greeks are hardly The West by the modern definition of that term. Look at the maps will ya. You belong in the boiler room, you just feel you can afford it because people in the first class felt generous enough...

Why are you sending greetings to the boiler room? You are there as well. By modern definition of the word „western world“, Greece and greeks are hardly western. Related, but not certainly „The West“. Some even classify Greece and greeks to be in the same boat as none other than Russians...
