It's called wanting the best of everything. It's less to do with China and more to do with greed. These wealthy Chinese will keep all their factories and business in China where they can take advantage of the cheap labour, relatively unregulated business policies, and Chinese government...

A Chinese friend of mine always complain about how Shanghai and HK people are snobs and how their education and skills does not match up to their financial wealth.

Someone who's "ashamed to call myself Chinese" but is not pro-American / anti-China? Keep making more stupid comments, its great entertainment. Not everyone on this forum is Chinese/Indian/Pakistani, for your information.

I'm way too pale to be Chinese. I just prefer that the Chinese somehow "win" in this matter just so that my country wouldn't get dragged into another American created mess like what happened in the Middle East.

People don't get the purpose of the ADIZ... It's not to prevent other countries from flying through it...China probably expected the US to do something like this. But then China can now fly into Japan's declared ADIZ without identifying itself and call Abe's bluff a while back about "shooting...

Talk about stupid PR. Next time, promise 10 billion dollars then create some internal government drama about budget conflicts and stall the payment until everyone forgot about the disaster, and quietly cancel the majority of aid without anyone noticing. Either that, or just delivers some...

Maybe China knows how to spend its money wisely? I don't like how my "conservative" government is sending $5M when simultaneously reducing spending on pretty much every government service in Canada. I understand the US democrats doing it because they're the "big spending" party...but we elected...

These people can find faults with every energy sources on Earth. Frankly, if these people care so much they should give up everything they own and go live with the poorest people on Earth, and see how long they would last before they run back in tears.

US oil and gas industry is subsidized and protected, so spare me the nonsense about "freedom". Socializing the cost and privatizing the profit is part of fascism, and is just as far away from "free market" as communism. Remove the subsidies plus the various incentives, and watch how fast the...

And your point is? My main point was not to compare how much each country makes or how much they produce...it was about how much of the wealth is actually benefiting the citizens of the respective countries. You can produce 1000x as much as everyone else and buy 1000x more than everyone...

Doesn't matter how efficient, productive and innovative when it comes to the oil industry due to rising world demand and the lack of competition thanks to there only a few major players in the industry. They all jack up the price every year no matter how much subsidies the US government gives or...

It's not really "US becomes No. 1 producer", it's "US Corporations becomes No. 1 producer". There is a BIG difference compared to state owned oil companies in the Middle East. The US would probably pay more subsidies to expand oil production more than they would ever get back in taxes. The...

It's not the Debt to GDP ratio that's important...it's the NET debt and the ability to repay that debt that is important. Financial centres like HK and Singapore all have huge debt to GDP ratio because of the huge amount of financial trades that go through them...but they earn so much money...

Now the corrupted rich Indian politicians and businessmen can now bring back their ill-gotten wealth at bargain exchange rates and buy up (more) Indian assets. Of course they'll now wait for the next good opportunity to get more stolen wealth out of the country rather than invest in their own...

In that situation, if I'm Martin I would have done one of the following: 1. Run home 2. Call 911 3. Call parents 4. Calmly interact with Zimmerman, and defuse the situation by explaining exactly what I am up to. In fact, I HAVE been in exactly the same situation as Trayvon Martin, both in...

If people actually go through all of the videos from the trial and examined all of the evidence...they would realize that all of the evidence and pretty much all witnesses (even those called by the prosecution) supports a case of self defence. If anything the "guilt" proven by those evidence is...

How did France not see this coming? It's an open secret that the EU and the US gives massive agricultural subsidies to their farmers, to the point where other developed countries like Canada and New Zealand had to put up protectionist measures and poor countries like Haiti had their agricultural...

Want to sell? Label as freedom fighters/defenders. Don't want someone else to sell? Label as terrorists/evil dictator.

This can turn out really bad if not done right. It took hundreds of years to get racism and sexism somewhat reduced...we don't want to introduced gene discrimination on top of that. What's going to stop businesses from hiring someone that is "genetically altered" as opposed to "normal"...

It is also a jab at the US and many other countries in the world.
