They are quite industrious and resourceful people and will find a way out of this.

Avalonia, How does this reflect China's presumed dominance in the 2016 retail sector? If it doesn't then it's obvious that you're trolling and you will get reported. BTW, What were the y-o-y figures?

Umm, irso2222, I believe that KingMamba93, was expressing himself facetiously on account of the overall sarcastic tone his message.

With all due respect, I believe it cuts both ways. I wasn't targeting him specifically and I apologize to rcmj if I gave him that impression. I can fully understand why both sides are at each other's throats. The point is to overcome that by not letting the ego get in the way. It's a shame...

I understand, Sir. Mankind might always be like this. But if you guys want to bash each other, why no do it privately? I've been lurking here for quite a while. Most of the time I look into a thread and after reading 6 posts I end up scratching my head say, "What the hell did I just read?"...

Gentlemen, I'm sure we can all find ways to discuss this topic without the unnecessary bravado and defamation. I think both sides would benefit with an intelligent exchange.

I went to a Pakistani restaurant the other week. :tup::tup: You guys know how to eat very well.

I wish Bangladesh the best of luck. It's not only good for Bangladeshis but also good for the world that people all over become more financially unburdened. :cheers:

Good point, longyi. I wonder how that would play out after debts are figured in considering Japanese and Korean debt compared to Chinese debt. The last time I checked, personal debt in Korea has become quite an issue.

Papyrus is labelled "paper-like". The process is different and both were developed separately. We use the Chinese method of paper production and not papyrus. Greek fire was thought to contain saltpeter but it has been debunked. So no, it's not gunpowder. What is this mechanical greek...
