Funny. Vietnam did not even learn and understand the essence of Chinese civilization, and claim to be "banner" of Chinese civilization. Confucius is what China SOLD to Vietnam and Korea, not the essence at all, Confucius basically teach you how to be good, well behavior man, not teach you how to...
Presently the number of US oversea military base is 374, distributed in more than 140 countries and regions, 300000 troops. China has only 1 if count in Djibouti. Without world wide war, or similar event as disintegration of USSR, there's no dramatic change of global order.
OBOR does bring...
Robotics are primarily installed in manufacture factories. Service is very broad term, e.g. restaurant, retail, medical service etc, pretty much everything except manufacture and agriculture can be grouped into service. service automation ratio is still very low compared to manufacture. There...
True for creating new jobs, however they're not prepared for those layoff, less educated young labors, these youth have to seek other opportunity, also the number of new jobs will be small compared with the front line workers.
The key point is, whatever you like it or not, robotics is a...
No. The government understood this issue very early. robotic and automation is a strategic sector China must compete whatever the cost. it's impossible to slow down the process.
We ever experienced reform of stated own firms in the 90s, much much more painful than current situation, we're high...
It's unstoppable trend. There're lots of unemployment, the workers have to find other opportunity, Chinese learned to manage themselves, can not rely on government to resolve everything. There're lots of bragging Chineses (true or false whatever) in PDF, many of them are stupid just as other...
Impossible. Indian crops are even more expensive than Chinese domestic crops which in turn are much more expensive than imports from US, Canada or Brazil. PRC pays huge subsidies to agriculture every year, even with this policy, foreign crops are still much cheaper.
If the concept of CPEC is restricted to the published infrastructure projects, if any third party is involved, I doubt these projects will be completed on time.
If the concept of CPEC is extended to industrial zone, private investment, it's up to Pakistan government to decide. I personally...
First, the world average of steel exports to output is 30%, compared with less than 15% in China. For cement, in 2015 global cement output is 4.1 billion tons, China exported less than 10 million tons. Not valid point, not to mention China already restrict and limit output of steel and cement...
Why most Indian desperately bash on CPEC ? Not necessary. If Pakistan become unstable, it will be nightmare for India.
The following is GDP growth rate comparison of India and Pakistan from 2007 - 2015:
First row is year, second row is India data, third row is Pakistan data. We can see the...
1, The envisaged oil and gas pipeline to Kashgar MAY NOT exist due to extremely harsh geographical environment. It fully depends on technical feasibility and affordable cost.
You can read my previous post to have a clue...
The key issue is low social status of Indian woman, Chinese woman usually has same issue all though not as miserable as Indian, Communist PRC completely change the status, now Chinese woman even dare ride on head of man !
No. I indeed welcome India and Japan could pour big money into Africa infrastructure, we African need your help to compete with Chinese firms, African could get a better offering by introducing more competitors. :yahoo:
Protectionist are everywhere, China, US, EU all major economy players have. Every nation SHOULD protect its own industry when necessary.
However, it's a very small part of "private investor friendly environment" regarding whether protect or not.
CPEC is not a silver bullet, after all CPEC primarily focus on infrastructure projects, only help to build a foundation and reduce business risk and cost in some extent. Pakistan has to manage to build a private investor friendly environment to pave the way to prosperity.
Funny. Do you know that India is the second large shareholder of AIIB. What's the motivation of India to join AIIB in your eyes? Lend money to others or want to get more foreign investment into India's infrastructure? BTW, AIIB just approved a $ 160 millions India project which is part of the...
China and India roughly has same export percentage of GDP, between 20% and 25%. China does not depend SO MUCH on export as you think. The most export orientated economy is South Korea and Germany, roughly 40% - 50%.
I refer a paragraph of report from IFR 2016:
"75% of the global robot sales in...
