'Freedom fighter' is too big of a word to describe these kind of people. I like to call them instagram revolutionaries, armchair generals, keyboard warriors, sheep, cowards... Like how some irrationally nationalistic Turks suddently got their panties in a bunch because some F-ing Turkish...

Not only that, the current TAZARA and Benguala rail lines are in need of a major overhaul as well... Currently there is a major opportunity going in the Democratic Republic of the Congo to connect these 2 major historic rail lines (All built with Chinese aid btw). Currently, these 2 railways...

The average temperature is over 30 degrees this week alone, I would like to see how many are able to keep up their so-called convictions before abandoning them for the comfort of their air-conditioned homes. :rofl:

THIS. We had our fair share of fellow countrymen who wouldn't hesitate to sell out their country and even their own mothers and children in order to obtain their goals, and we have some of the most destructive civil wars in history to prove it. Goes to show that deceit and betrayal is just as...

''Moderated by popular freelance journalist Akira Ikegami, the program featured a segment about “why Koreans hate the Japanese so much.'' This says all. This is one of the many reasons why I view so-called ''freelancers'' more of a cancer than a blessing to real journalism, and therefore...

Well, I guess I am one of those 'few' then. I can perfectly imagine that we ate dogs and cats as means to survive during times of peril like the Great Chinese Famine, but with today's abundant food supply? I don't see the need for it.

Didn't the local government already put a ban on it? And not to mention the thousands of national animal friends and animal activists who descended there to protest this? So I don't get where all the sudden fuss is all about. Stop the Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China: Animal welfare campaigners...

Personally, I think it's partially for wartime purposes in order to deny, or at least stall a foreign invader from using their national railway system as a means to supply their troops across borders. Edit: Never mind! Just saw that some (NATO) Baltic states use the same 1520mm gauge as well...

I think we are living in an era where nationality should overcome the division of races by now. And correlating back to the case of China, I am sure that there are thousands upon thousands of Tibetan- and Uighur-Chinese compatriots in both the PLA and civil society who will defend the Chinese...

You will be surprised to find out how many people have been ''ethnic cleansed'' throughout history. The only way to stop said ''ethnic cleansing'' would be to fully stop migration in the way North Korea would do. Complete isolation would be in order to stop interbreeding between races...

Whatever gets that guy off lol

If it's published in a paper, chances are that it was the author's intention to make it public, usually in order to back up and defend his findings and theories in face of other intellectuals in that specialization area. Of course, rest assured that the paper didn't go in full detail about the...

The keyword being here that this SHOULD lead to economic growth for a period of time. After all, more money becomes available which can be spent, leading to businesses to grow etc. etc. This is however just a theory. But like I said, while Malthus' Theory is still relevant today, it has its...

NGO's are some of the most corrupted bunch you can come across! Even more so than some members in the CPC. Just came across this article a few days back. How the Red Cross raised over half a billion USD for Haiti in donations, and after 4 years, have only 6 built houses to show for it! How the...

Malthus' Theory. In a nutshell, when a population overgrows its ability to maintain itself, the consequences as a result of these shortages in resources will normally restore the balance, or sometimes even create a surplus. Malthusian catastrophe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In Malthus'...

See the UN as some sort of highschool... If anything would come even close to resemble the current layout of the UN. XD Lets say the P5 are like the most popular kids on the schoolgrounds each representing some sort stereotype. 1. China being somewhat the hardworking nerdy girl with some...

Seriously? Drones? The monitors at my campus usually block off all incoming and outgoing signals in the exam building with a single device that's no larger than a calculator.

Damn... What a beauty!

So far from what I have heard, was that the captain + some 11 other survivors were able to swim safely ashore. From there on, authorities were notified and rushed to the scene. From what the police has been able to get from the captain himself, was that the ship was designed for some 536 people...

Can I jump in this discussion as a student at the Erasmus University? That the average overseas Chinese student here is a party-goer is only a 1/4 truth... It's true that we do have Chinese sororities like for example, the CSA EUR at our Woudestein campus, which are mostly here for the...
