    CHina did well with its medal haul.

    Wipeout: China stocks in US suffer biggest 2-day loss since 2008

    Chinese govt went after them. Its not the loss of chinese govt. They may not be really wrong. China is trying to formalize its economy and bringing these huge companies to task in matters of privacy and anti-competitiveness. But world is cagey whether china is capable of consistent applying rule...

    Wipeout: China stocks in US suffer biggest 2-day loss since 2008

    That competitors thing works until you reach the top echelons. After that what competition - with your enormous power to "reward" loyalty. Not very satisfactory answers, I am not saying two party is the best. But just logically exploring.

    Wipeout: China stocks in US suffer biggest 2-day loss since 2008

    China rollout homemade 600 km/h maglev train

    Yea permanent magnet makes little sense. Even if a train leaves every 5 mins - assuming length of train crosses a point on one second - then thats 299 seconds of useless magnet and one sec useful.

    China rollout homemade 600 km/h maglev train

    I beleive that this train is capable of 600kmph is a belief not a proven fact. I do respect chinese train engineers - they accomplished a lot - so i wont discount the belief but its certainly odd advertiziing the speed of a train without a track or an experiment.

    New road brings hope to a Tibetan village at Indian border which used to have only 3 people

    Are you sure ? how is a much stronger material whose ore needs to be dug from earth and then smelted with chemicals and electricity is cheaper than wood which one can just drive in to a forest and cut and also weaker in strength. In US steel can be anywhere from 11 to 2 times more expensive than...
