If anyone gives a sh!t I'll inform you. I think China can learn a lot from India on how to make a situation worse, what do you think? Oh I'm sorry you don't do that, it's not the Indian way.

English is only a tool in China, there is no emotional or cultural attachment. I don't know, can Indians hide themselves from reality by being delusional? Seems to be working. And yes it seems like Indians don't care to know much about China, when they seem think China is bad as India with...

They won their freedom to lose money to host an event celebrating their colonization, that's amazing.

I don't know man, this coming from a country proud to have English as it's official language with even more English speakers than in the west, lol. It's also funny that Indians always make excuses when it's about all the caste, ethnic and religious discrimination happening in India, but pretend...

Gunpowder was used for war against the Mongols in China, there were cannons, bombs, mines and rockets. The Mongols used captured Chinese siege engineers to make cannons in their invasion of west Asia. While gunpowder didn't save China from the Mongols it did delay it, it was the first be...

That's the problem with a personality cult, whatever the master says is right. I don't hate them though, I feel sorry that they live in a world of aliens, lizards and the man they worship as living Buddha is a fat middle aged man.

You mean the Falun Gong media that you posted then removed because you realized how stupid it was to reference something as credible as Scientology Times.

Preemptively stopping people from organizing protests/riots or self immolation is only a bandage to the problem and a reactionary measure that will not solve the long term problem, which is to make these people feel as if they are a part of the mainstream society as a whole and lessen their...

Written English is limited by the pronunciation of it's spoken form, Chinese is not, spoken Chinese is an interpretation of the written. Words in English have no meaning unless you are a speaker yourself, but written Chinese can be transplanted regardless of the spoken language, not unlike...

Lol sometimes I wish there's a Chinese version of Korean Sentry or Stormfront so these gay boys can jerk off to each other. Han didn't become the largest ethnic group by excluding everybody, that's what the Koreans did and now look at them wanking to their purity in a tiny corner of the world...

English wasn't the only language of the industrialized world, there was also French, Spanish, German and Russian running in contention, but English came out on top over time because the economic dominance of the British Empire. And so far the only truly "industrialized" countries in the world...

This topic is premature. Chinese does have the potential to become a major commerce language in the future, along with even Hindi, depending of the economic and political structure of the future. There were many shifts in cultural spheres in history already and people are not going to say no to...

Small mind. English does not have some of the sounds in Slavic languages, there are sounds in Vietnamese so unique you'd think aliens were making them, so therefore because English does not have those sounds it can never be adaptable, your arguments run thin. People will simply replace the...

English itself has gone through an evolution from integrating vocabulary from different languages and even making new terms for things yet to exist. If Hawaiian was put into the same pressures it would of changed accordingly, to assume English is the only language capable of this shows how...

English is easier to learn, but it's not the easiest, so that's not the main criteria. People will learn something as long as they see use and money in it.

Chinese is a tonal language with many homophones, the problem if you try to force a Latin type of alphabet is that you'd end up with 15 words with the same spelling, which is why this form of writing never caught on in China. You'd either have to do what Japan did which is to include 2...

The truth of the matter is, in the current state of the world, there are only 3 countries that can stand alone while the others are dependent, maybe that's a bitter pill for the all mighty Koreans but that's the current political, economic state of affairs. Pakistan sides with China because they...

Apparently the study of linguistics is wrong, please enlighten the world with your knowledge and publish a paper.

The differences account for the thousands of years of separation, but the basic grammar and sentence structure is similar suggest a common root. And I always had the idea that the reason Buddhism grew in the east was because it was persecuted by the Hindus.

Their spoken language belongs to the sino-tibetan language family, which share a common root. They probably borrowed Sanskrit because they didn't have their own writing system, like Vietnamese uses Latin but is not latin derived itself. Genetically they share about half their Y DNA (O3) with...
