wow, that wheeler just wow. Why not sail it to the destination? I guess that is just how China do things, on unimaginable scale.

aw, it is so nice of india to be so concern of its neighbors, it made me almost forgot about the fact that india is diverting water from the river and left Bangladesh with nothing

even 112 is pretty good if China mass produce it.

India's Bad Loan Rate Soaring to Near 10% Dwarfs China's Bank regulators taking steps to help lenders shore up capital Ballooning non-performing loans at Indian banks are grabbing global attention, while non-performing assets at Chinese peers appear stable. India’s capital market regulator...

one thing is for sure, as long as erdogan and his party stay in power, the relationship between turkey and the west will only get worsen. Erdogan and his party fear the west wanting to topple them through undemocratic way like coup, while the west who already don't trust the turk before, now the...

well, I believe Bhutanese would rather to have a Bhutanese blogger define Bhutan foreign policy than having foreign country like India to dictate Bhutan foreign policy.

didn't they always name the ship after the city or province that pay for its operational cost? I doubt taiwan will pay:enjoy:

you either all in or you never step into it, don't flip flop. If you decide to go all in, I'm pretty sure your partner, the Chinese will be with you all the way in. After all, they have committed tens of billions to this project, no one want it to succeed more than them. But if you flip flop...

IMHO, hambantota won't be a mess like today if the sri lankan government didn't flip flop on the deal. The Chinese investors pretty pissed off when they keep delaying the already agreed deal just for political infighting, meanwhile, the debt keep incurring interest cost all while they delayed...

any news of assembling Mi-17 in China? I thought China has reached deal with Russia few years ago to produce it in China.

and neither should BD need to. After all india "helped" BD to serve its own national interest, to split arch rival Pakistan.

ah that make more sense

Well, I think despite indian megaphone policy, I don't think india dare to mess with China in Chinese territory like supporting terrorism or separatist movement. India know that China can return the favor in ten folds easily. India itself has plenty or separatist movement that China can throw...

For that purpose, China doesn't need to base soldiers in South Asia, China just a need a port to supply Chinese warships and a place to rest. I'm pretty sure Pakistani army are more than enough to protect CPEC. They...

what surprise me is that 055 is "only" 200 mil more expensive than 052, while 055 is significantly much more powerful.

nor does it make sense. One thing that Pakistan doesn't lack is manpower. Certainly China doesn't need to base its soldiers in Pakistan. Pakistan has enough manpower to protect themselves. What China need is a naval port to help supplying the Chinese warships passing through Indian ocean and a...

any source for that? I actually find it hard to believe that 055 cost "only" 0.9 bil

I don't think it will be 10.000 marines, probably only few thousands marines, the rest are support personnels, some maybe even civilian contractors. I also doubt the base will immediately host 10.000 people.

well, not everything is about India. China reduce the troops number because they don't need that many anymore, simple as that. I suspect the number of PLA will be around 1.5 to 1.7 million by the time the reform is finish. The number of navy, air force and strategic force will increase, while...
