The 800 million number is BS anyway. The OP's link actually lead to an article about textiles instead of population and the graph he linked assume a constant natural fertility rate with no regard to human factor, despite the fact human factor has been the dominant force in China for the past...

So you assumption is no change in Chinese policy in managing population growth rate or as you eloquantly put it "no artificial jacking up of fertility rates". I rest my case.

...Dude, that is pretty much what your post assumed. Did you just call yourself bullshit?

Website based numbers has a problem in this analysis----the fundamental principle of internet is a pool of information contributed by users. Basically, 1 single site contributed by 10 users is generally more informative (whether it is right or not is another story) by say, 5 sites contributed by...

Nah, Chinese are pretty open to a wide range of topics. Also remember, 1/4 of the internet users on this planet are Chinese. I would say the Chinese side of the internet are pretty huge. In fact, take a look at this: Top Ten Internet Languages - World Internet Statistics Not to mention there...

Well, like I said, innovation is not just about named brand, but it is also about manufacturing techniques, efficient organization of production asset, etc. From a technical perspective, the latters are a lot more important and innovative than the former, which is mostly a marketing thing. When...

Let's not ignore the elephant in the room. UNSC's true purpose and the one it filled well is simple----preventing major powers from starting a world war III. Now, the politically correct statement would be "peace is achieve by letting everyone's voice be heard and achieve understanding between...

Erm, no. Chinese government frankly don't give a crap about what political system the countries run. Its top priority is and has always been long term nation interest as a whole. Everything else is just an extension of that. For example, improving education gives the nation a larger pool of...

Right, because the old and true scenario of the current dominant power fearing the rise of a new power is because a bunch of bills and digital credits instead of, oh, I don't know, industrial might, resource, etc. War between top powers is never about monetary wealth. The reason is that top...

Yeah, the 1TB SSD cost about 500 bucks at Frys. That's like half of the price of a decent performing self-assembled computer. In other words way too expensive consider what we do with it. My lab's computer can sure use a SSD though. Running PSCAD simulation on long distance cables can really...

If we are talking about SSD, 500GB is about the limit the vast majority of the private consumers will buy right now.

Nah, Bay of Bengal has the lowest elevation in the area, water flows from high to low elevation. Also, keep in mind that dam and hydro stations does not consume water. Whether a dam exists or not has no effect on the volume of water flowing down stream.

The "will do" and "in the future" crowd keep forgetting that time is one of the most precious commodity there is. One of the reasons I never took India government's announcements too seriously is because they are treating time as something they have plenty of.

The improvement measure is for the waiting area.

Same as always. Complain, misery and swearing that they will do better in the future----which, of course, wore off after a few weeks.

That would require the river to flow from a lower elevation to a high elevation, hence the surprise.

Erm, I checked the map. Brahmaputra River is on the east side of Bangladesh. It already flow through that part of India.

I don't agree with your assessment. Sri Lanka is a sovereign nation and its relationship with China has been good. More Chinese investment in Sri Lanka will be good.

It's a cooperative agreement. It's not a matter of need, rather it is because Russia has rocket engines we can use in addition to the ones we are making. Similarly, Russia produces its share microelectronics as well, but they can also use the Chinese ones to supplement the existing stock. The...

Well, official work time in both US and China are 8 hours per day, but nobody follow that anyway in the engineering industrial. The day typically range from 8 to 11 hours.
