    Where on earth did you get that impression? Business is business. Japanese businessmen have very little difference from Chinese businessmen or American businessmen for that matter.

    Taiwan’s ruling party replaces pro-beijing candidate

    Yeah, US will go to the war with another major nuclear power over a small island more than 10,000 miles away from US home soil and fought the war at said power's door step. That will happen. :crazy:

    Erm, I am not sure that is true. http://hamburg-messe.de/uploads/media/Presentation_Martin_Stopford.pdf Page 16 shows the ship building leaders in the world. The reality is that 90% of the civilian ship building capacity is located in three countries: China, South Korea and Japan. This leaves...

    Chinese product's quality heavily depend on how much you pay for them. If you wish the statue to last, the company need to pay the adequate amount instead of the minimum.

    It is a very tall statue. You need rather good metallurgical and manufacturing technology to cast and make sure it stays in one piece. It is similar to technologies for manufacturing giant wind turbine glades, ship hulls, etc. There are actually surprisingly few country that can do it.

    Which ASEAN Country Will Become The World's Next Manufacturing Hub?

    Duh, because a factory with 80 workers isn't worth international news. I don't know about Vietnam or Japan, but here in US and Canada, only about 1/10 of the small businesses survive until the tenth year. If we give a full press coverage every time a 80 worker factory files bankruptcy, we'd get...

For example, US foreign investment is mainly in Canada, Mexico and South American nations with very little in East/Southeast Asia.

    I do agree Chinese agriculture sector can still use a lot of improvement, though I am not quite sure all that is technological related. For example, whilst mechanized farming can indeed improve efficiency, it only works if the field is sufficient large and under the management of a unified...

    No, the idea for population control is keeping the population growth in line with infrastructure development. The modern day Chinese infrastructure is sufficient to support much higher population than 40 years ago. In fact, the current two children policy was already partially in existence back...

    China Civilian Nuclear Industry, Technology, Exports and Supply Chain: News & Discussions

    I am in favor of nuclear replacing coal/gas capacity. With load prediction and national interconnectivity, nuclear is pretty the best (and only) alternative capable of replacing coal/gas. It is actually less about volume of power generation and more about controllability.
