Honestly, I think traditional Chinese architecture aesthetics is far superior to anything in the west. It is a shame that China lost so much of its aesthetics.

Lol theres more to a relationship than looks. Looks fade, but personality does not.

Most likely a tactic to ask for aid money. Kim to China: Give us money or we will collapse and flood your boarders with millions of refugees! Kim to Japan: Give us money! You don't want a nuclear powered NK to destabilize! Kim to South Korea: Give us money or Seoul will turn into a sea of fire!

That is a questionable analysis for a PhD educated person. The reason why Japan so willingly accepted American occupation between 1945-1952 is because of the imminent Soviet threat. In fact, Russia was always seen as the greatest threat to Japan ever since Japan's opening in 1850s. While...

Lol. What are you doing on here? Time to get busy and make more babies for the empire.

Retarded measurement. Some countries buy less cats because they have excellent public transportation system. Things like calorie consumption, electricty/energy consumption, years of schooling, ect are better estimates. I do agree though that coastal china is not 4 times poorer than Japan (in...

Japan's gdp in 2012 was that hugh because it was trading 80 yen to 1 dollar. Now it is 120 yen for 1 dollar. If your currency fell 50% in value, your nominal GDP should drop 33% in value. The long term problems for Japan is population implosion, ratio of old to young people, national debt...

Strategically, nukes are useless. There are better deterrents and if a national leader is insane enough to launch nukes anyway, MAD won't stop them.

Interesting how Japan is represented by a crane. Beautiful, majestic, graceful creature, but can hardly be described as fierceful such as dragon (china) bear (russia) bald eagle (us) lion (uk). Also, I thought India was the elephant.

I agree, there are some vocal minority views that denies Nanjing massacre, but the official government's position is that "it cannot be denied that after the Japanese Army entered Nanjing, the killing of a large amount of non combatants and other acts occur." Also, if you read Abe's statement...

China does not want to challenge US, but Obama is such a coward, he might fall for this obvious bluff.

Vietnam still uses su-22? Those are a generation behind most of chinese planes.

China is already an empire imo with such a vast territory and 1.35 billion people.

Shallow comparison. Been hearing this since 1990s. India = democracy and rule of law, china = dictatorship and corruption. But how much rule of law does india have? With so much crime against women, police corruption, outdated caste mentality, I think china has far more rule of law.

They are very different countries. China has a lot more similarity with say Japan then it does with India. Also, China is currently very ahead of India in economic development. To reach first world, it will take India another century. Coastal China is pretty much first world already.

Hybrids are too pricey to be a smart investment strategy. Noone buys them, would rather get a "chick magnet" car like an audi for same price range.

Well then China needs to reclaim Taiwan fast.

I have read some article that Japan doesn't build platforms in its own boarder because it is simply uneconomical to send gas that far to Japan's mainland. Instead, Japan asked China to give Japan a percentage of its profit because China is sucking gas from Japan's side as well. Eventually, Hu...

I don't think vietnam wants to challenge china to a naval battle. China wants to prove itself as a naval power to the world and many chinese admirals are dying to pull the trigger.

Kind of weird how India was growing at 4% then suddenly 7.7%, most people say it is accounting magic rather than real economic growth.
