Yes, he was not mentioned in any Chinese historical book. However, the statistics (like yearly revenue of imperial court) can still be verified. They were well-recorded.

Then why when Marco Polo came back to Venize, people did not believe him when he described how rich and great China Yuan was (they even called him "Mr.Million", as per "China history" by Nguyen Hien Le). It seems the greatness and the rich of China was un-imaginable to Roman people at that time...

Oh. Read some history books and civilize yourself. It was indeed difficult to compare who was richer, especially when there was no official exchange rate between empires at that time. But at least, China, since Spring - Autumn era, has had tons of statistics, which were done and recorded...

Czech, Slovakia and other East European countries are significantly poorer than the US on per capita GDP basis, but you cannot say they are "backward"? In what sense? Thank to communist regimes in the past, they are far more civilized than the US, from education, health care, civic sense...

The US can sanction on Cambodia and Cambodia can sanction the US. This is their right. Same results.

Have seen "free religion" in EU countries, like France or Poland. Now we understand what is "free press". India is quite a backward, irrelevant country which can have no shame in bragging about their "free press" and doing exactly the opposite, but now even Germany follows the path of India.

Normal trains have been running between Vietnam and Europe, even back in 1960s, when young Vietnamese went from Vietnam to East European countries to study by train. But with regards to high-speed train, I doubt it. Even if all the railway lines in Laos, Thailand and Malaysia are Chinese-built...

Nothing special. There are South Koreans who defect to the North as well, albeit very few. During my living in Korea, one minister said publicly to the young people of the South "If you like the North so much, why don't you go living in the North". The old South Korean hate North Korea a lot...

Good job by both China and Russia. The two countries should be more integrated in the future.

Sadly, most cases and deaths have occurred in "freedom-loving" southern provinces, despite the fact that the outbreak started in the north on 27 Apr 2021 and the south had had two months after that for preparation. Key southern provinces and cities (Cases and deaths from 27 Apr 2021 up to...

EU personnel (engineers and skilled workers) cannot work as hard and effective as Chinese counterparts. They will ask to live in 5-star hotels or equivalent, overtime payment for working after 5pm, 2-day weekend etc. and a lot of other expenses which would make the total project cost to...

The drill is being held in Mong Cai city, the border town between Vietnam Quang Ninh province and China Guangxi province, starting 10 Dec 2021.

Having read histories of both the East and the West for long time (my mother used to teach Greek - Roman history at one of the best universities in Vietnam), I've never said that. My point is China have strong potential for that position, not that it would certainly achieve that position, which...

[USER=195415]@Protest_again Anyway, what is the term in Hindi for "Republic"? In Vietnamese, it is "Cong hoa", which is related to Chinese Gonghe, Korean gonghwa and Japanese kyowa, which refers to a period in Chinese history nearly 3000 years ago, when there was no king/emperor. If you have...

What is the term "democracy" in your language? Does it exist in Hindi, or whatever language used in India, except English. In Vietnamese, it is "Dan chu", which is equal to "Min-chu" in Chinese and Korean, and "minshu" in Japanese (same term, just different pronunciation). "Dan chu" literally...

Pfizer vaccine have killed at least 7 children under 18 in Vietnam recently, after the government decided to jab 12 - 18 yo children with their vaccines. The incidents have happened in various locations: Hanoi, North, Central and South regions of Vietnam, so it is not related to a lot of...

Still too small. I would celebrate myself when China's GDP is at least equal to that of America and Europe continents combined and per capita twice that of the US. That would be the true position China should stand in this world, considering that its average IQ is much higher than that of...

Haha, now American are bragging and behaving just like Indian to show that they are somehow "superior". Cannot imagine that 10 years ago. Take a look at the streets of Philadelphia, San Francisco... any big cities: dirties, slums, homeless, tent cities, hungry people. ... And a lot of so-called...

' Singapore is already connected to Vientiane by metre gauge railway. The Malaysia section will be fully electrified and double tracked by next year. The Thailand section (up to Nong Khai, just 20 km from Vientiane) are being double tracked (but not electrified). A single track line, about 10...
