Good luck to them. Everyone on the planet is free to buy as many or as few Chinese goods as they wish. And if they want to change their consumption habits, the only thing stopping them is their own willpower and self-discipline. But that won't be a problem for USians, famous for their discipline...

We will be left waiting forever, Hindus are a sickly, anemic, non-martial people, they don't have the capacity to grab land from a nuclear power, let's be realistic.

Not really, we can buy from Brazil or Russia, they have the same level of reserves as AU. Their iron ore is somewhat more expensive because their production processes are less efficient, but we can invest in them to alleviate production bottlenecks. If the party leadership decides it is a...

Funny, this decision is completely related to US. We began the dumping investigation in November 2019 right before phase 1 trade deal was signed so that we could ditch AU barley and buy US instead to fulfill the agreement. So we were always going to slap tariffs on AU, but recent AU hostility...

I thought you were a patriot, you should drive a Vinfast instead. I heard that Viet beauties come flocking when they see a rich man in the streets of Ho Chi Minh City, riding a Vinfast, with the latest BPhone in his hand 8-)

No chance China's submarine fleet could grow only by 4 subs during this decade to 2030, unless the author is talking about total numbers and taking into account decommissioning older models. When Type 09V and 09VI prototypes have finished testing and trials (~2025 by late estimates), China will...

Mao gave China total and unconditional national sovereignty and independence, it means that even after we opened up, we can remain intact and unharmed while reaping the benefits. Without Mao's foundation, opening up would be the same as Mughal India opening up to the East India Company, just...

True in 2000, maybe true in 2010, definitely not true in 2020.

True. Many prostitutes didn't get to keep their earnings, it was confiscated and used as capital by Park Chung Hee to kickstart Korea's industrialization. Little sympathy in Korea at the time that prostitutes couldn't keep their earnings, so they were easy targets. In a way, you could say that...

Nepal diplomatic protest:

Pei Minxin is a famous self-hater who supports US hegemonic imperialism and white supremacism. He is like Gordon Chang although admittedly more intellectual. For Pei, the ideal Asian country is a white slave, like South Korea right after the devastation of the Korean War, when 25% of GDP came...

No need. Loans to Africa are backed by real assets so it's not a problem if our African partners have problems making repayments. Anyway, we won't abandon Africa for sure, it's been a cherished and important partner for us since Mao's time, but I expect we will scale down our engagement on a...

bro a mod deleted your first thread for a reason, take a hint, this incident is too irrelevant

I didn't put "words in your mouth", I suspected you of racially-motivated prejudice based on the evidence from your posts all throughout this thread, such as your vehement rejection of proposals to take even-handed measures against spammers of other nationalities and agendas in posts #12 by...

I don't think we agree. There is a consensus opinion developing here that there can and perhaps should be a universal spam rule applied against any nationality or agenda. But you seem to strongly disagree and prefer it only target Chinese posters while turning a blind eye to pro-Hindu spammers...

Let me introduce you to the logical fallacy "whataboutism", if not already, hope you can familiarize yourself with this new concept :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism

Agree with this, spamming to advance any agenda should be prohibited. But I don't support OP's proposal to kick off a racially-motivated witch hunt and selectively enforce spam rules against a specific race. Shouldn't PDF be a racially tolerant forum that welcomes a lot of different perspectives?

No facts, no logic to support it. Just a quasi-religous fervor and blind belief in "magic" and "miracles", as Buffett says himself. Don't forget US has only been a superpower for 75 years. In our 5000-year-old history we have seen many upstarts like you come and go, we know where your story ends...

https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1187766.shtml China needs to expand the number of its nuclear warheads to 1,000 in a relatively short time. It needs to have at least 100 Dongfeng-41 strategic missiles. We are a peace-loving nation and have committed to never being the first to use nuclear...
