    China and the Philippines: Asia's Most Toxic Relationship

    1. Middle East is in Asia. The toxicity level of China's conflict with Philippine is nothing comparing to the ones over there. 2. Calling Chinese government Confucianist is a rather gross ignorance of Chinese history. Throughout history, Chinese government always favored legalism as the...

    International Mathematical Olympiad 2015 results (India crashes and burns again)

    Japan's ranking has been slipping for a number of years. My personal guess is a lax in public education standard due to economic hardship. The otaku culture certainly won't help the issue. It is a similar thing to the hippie age during 70s experienced by US. Erm, not sure about Syria, Mexico...

    Why can't India/Pakistan/China/Bangladesh be as clean as Australia?

    Easy, because H-index works off number of citations and in research work, you don't necessarily cite things because it is key to your research development. You cite it because it is in your research circle. Hence why it is not an accurate measurement for quality of work.

    Why can't India/Pakistan/China/Bangladesh be as clean as Australia?

    Not really, Australia's renewable accounts for about 11 percent of its total power generation (counting hydro) While China's renewable accounts for about 28 percent (counting hydro) I don't know why you get the impression Australia's industry is "clean". It may generate less pollution...
