Roaming around ghettos is fine. I even posted a video in this thread where foreigners were walking around in one such ghetto. Find out if they actually stayed in one.
Westerner complaining about being raped and later harassed in China...
1. you say china hid truth to make themselves look better, yet you say China has 4 times more prisoner than India. First, show your link for your claim, second, show that prisoners are there due to violent crimes.
2. Westerners stay in Chinese AirBnB without using ID ALL THE TIME, many...
what does controlled media have anything to do with anything? if problem is so prevalent in China, then people would spread news among themselves, you don't need government news if your friend, people from work, classmates, neighbor or friends of friends, neighbors of neighbors got raped, it's...
lol, another Indian using China "hide" rape problem excuse. When I was growing up in china and to this very day, rape and other types of violent crime are never big problems in China. Many girls as young as 10, go walk to schools or take buses by themselves. You would think if rape is such...
I think you forgot china can offer trillions worth of exchangeable currency into Russia, cheap consumer goods is an afterthought and that's not what Russia is after anyway.
why is it short memory when dollar trade has decreased, but trade in respective currencies in fact increased since 2014...
I didn't say people in poverty don't innovate, I'm simply saying people with more money can more easily pursue innovation when they don't have to worry about starving. There's positive correlation between number of innovations and the wealth of the country, not that poor countries don't file any...
Modernizing from extremely poor stage != innovating. China modernizing from $1000 per capita in the past 3 decades is to simply pulling people out of poverty by providing them with low level jobs and fed, not trying to be innovative. Only recently has China truly been emerging in innovation...
that's not really a valid comparison by using last 200 years. I think everyone is aware US has been and is still the tech lead in many areas. I think what Elon Musk and many people here referring to is what would be like going forward. China only start bursting on the tech scene over the past...
Chinese is the new comer, it's still the mecca for European and American and expensive areas are still dominated by whites, chinese are relatively cheap.
Thailand is way expensive than China, it's a mecca for white European and Americans. Some of the beaches and resorts there cost at 70% or 80% or just as much as Hawaii and are filled with white people.
Quantum computing has moved out of the realm of theoretical physics and into the real world, but its potential and promise are still years away.
Onstage at TechCrunch Disrupt SF, a powerhouse in the world of quantum research and a young upstart in the field presented visions for the future of...
because china is really cheap to travel. US is on the top because US is expensive, you send $8 on a burger, while in china a burger cost $1. That's 8x already for purchasing the same thing. Foreign spending is higher in the US reflects exactly that, people may actually purchase more items in...
They are investing in Chinese startup exactly because China is now the 2nd largest INTERNATIONAL PATENT producing country in the world, for more than half decade now, a close 2nd to the US. It's like saying, don't invest in Facebook because Facebook is second in patent application comparing to...
As the shadow of SoftBank (and its $100 billion fund) looms large over the investment landscape, Sequoia Capital is pushing the upper limits of the checks it’s willing to write to global growth-stage companies up to $1 billion. With a B.
That’s the word from Sequoia’s global managing partner...
whether it's china's own doing or not is up to debate, without Japanese invasion, civil war could been ended long time ago as well, who would have known. But I thought OP's hypothesis was that China had advantage and head start over India, the answer is clearly no. In fact, China was...
china was also utterly devastated and the entire country was in ruins after WWII, where India at the time had the best railway system in Asia and suffered practically no damage from WWII.
blatant lie. Taiwan's official name is Republic of China, their own constitution states "taiwan is part of china". Practically every single country in the world recognizes Taiwan as part of china, including UN, US, and rest of the world. To date, Taiwan hasn't declared independence, and their...
