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

    1. Australia has only 23 million population with a land area of 7.6 million square km. The places on earth with less of a population density would be Saharas or Antarctica. 2.

    Abandoned & Forgotten: Remnants of Human Civilization

    I was gonna link that, but you beat me to it. Historically, one of the most common reason for cities to be abandon is rivers shifting routes. Before the industrial revolution, one of the main constraint for cities to support population is the available water supply. It doesn't need to be much...

    Erm, how exactly is housing and stock suppose to "create" a 3 trillion dollar (30% GDP) bubble considering real estate and finance sector combined contribute to about 5.3% of Chinese GDP? People are way over-estimating stock and real estate's impact in GDP for larger countries. Heck, real...

    U.S. shouldn’t hesitate to use its leverage in dealing with Vietnam

    Like I said and again, depend on the article. If it is BS, then I will call it and yes, I am well aware why you said it. I am, however, interested to see if you can come up with an argument to back it up. So far it is a bit disappointing.

    U.S. shouldn’t hesitate to use its leverage in dealing with Vietnam

    1. It is not authority. It is a media outlet. It expresses an opinion. "Republic party is not in charge of China" has no logical link with "Whether or not republican in the office related to the Authority of the Washington Post". Not sure what you are saying. 2. I do believe I stated in the...

    I never said it is predictable. My original post is intended to refute your opinion that "Exactly...this is what happens when people invest based on expectations than on real value of a company. International financial institutions bring in rationality to the stock markets. Absence of...

    U.S. shouldn’t hesitate to use its leverage in dealing with Vietnam

    Your stance is a good indicator on what you will be saying. However, the specific piece of information still needs to be determined to see if it is trustworthy. Hence why I disagree with your post stating "Do remember when Washington Post post some Anti-Chinese article and those Chinese member...

    Don't Mistake China's Stock Market For China's Economy

    Just saying that 2.32% is pretty far away from "less than 40%". The discussion started on the impact of stock market recession with the overall Chinese economy. If it is "less than 40%", then it would imply it is probably something between 30% to 40%. In that case, the recession would indeed...

    Don't Mistake China's Stock Market For China's Economy

    Don't Mistake China's Stock Market For China's Economy

    List of stock market crashes and bear markets - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I must then be great coincidence that US would have a stock market crash every decade. While it is true that each crash is for its own unique, the common trend is still present because the stock market gradually...

    U.S. shouldn’t hesitate to use its leverage in dealing with Vietnam

    Hence why I went into the reason Washington Post's opinion is useful in this topic. It is perfectly normal for a perspective to be useful in one instance, but not useful in others. For example, even known joke medias such as wantchinatimes or epoch time can publish useful things when the topic...

    Don't Mistake China's Stock Market For China's Economy

    Then, how do you explain the stock market cycle in US? There are a lot of "should" or "shouldn't" in this world, but if everything goes by the logical step, then we wouldn't be in the world we are in today. The reality is, while individual customers constitutes of only small percentage of the...

    That doesn't make the least bit sense. I live in US. The average folk here invests based on expectations as well. What? Why on earth would anyone expect the average Joe on the street to understand the intricacies of overall operation in a modern day corporation? That is a job for trained...

    U.S. shouldn’t hesitate to use its leverage in dealing with Vietnam

    Washington Post is a conservative media, reflecting the point and interest of conservatives in United States. So it makes sense for Washington post (or any US media really) to publish anti-China articles. At the same time, being a conservative media, it also reflects the opinion of republican...

    Don't Mistake China's Stock Market For China's Economy

    Stock market value is not counted as part of the GDP calculation. For example, US stock market total value is 21.63 trillion USD. Its GDP, on the other hand, is only 16.77 trillion USD.
