I remember reading news about a Indian politician who claimed Chinese were aggressive because Chinese food were spicy.

We're not Indians. "Superpower" doesn't exist in China's vocabulary. By 2035 we will just be almost a middle level developed country. Completely harmless.

How much of them will fit? Average height of Indian males: 164.7 cm Average height of American males: 175.3 cm

Good homework question for 3rd graders: If a variable first decrease by 31.4 percent then increase by 33.1 percent, what is the overall change?

There were certainly issues with religious extremism in Xinjiang. One of the most influential liberal mullah was assassinated. Definitely not purely a matter of separatism or ethnic conflict. As for Uyghurs vs Han vs Hui, during the Urumqi riot (which was an ethnic conflict) some Uyghurs were...

My memory failed me a little bit. The government did remove an article from the final version of the anti-terror law, but not the whole legislation. Compare the public comments draft version of the anti-terror law with the final version...

Regarding anti-blasphemy law, a few years ago the government tried to introduce a legislation which would have, among other things, given the police the the power to impose administrative detention (i.e. detention without trial) on people who has caused offence to religion. The proposal caused...

Li Keqiang is an idiot who doesn't understand basic statistics. The thought that he could have became the general secretary still terrifies me. Can we move on now?

Two beautiful maps for our Indian friends Terrain elevation: Population density: It's clear who has the biggest interests of keeping conflicts within disputed areas.

Harpoons don't bring new abilities to Taiwan. They already have their own supersonic Hsiung Feng III anti-ship missiles. More American imports = less indigenous production. So it balances out. For the Chinese government reunification is a matter of political legitimacy. So it has to happen...

She looks mixed rather than East Asian to me. From your photo she somewhat reminds me of Chinese actress Tong Liya. Tong Liya has a Xibo Chinese father and a Russian Chinese mother. So she's mixed with Xibo (North Asian), Han (East Asian, almost all Russian Chinese are mixed Russian and Han)...

Ladakh is completely different from South Tibet. Logistics is far simpler for Ladakh as it's next to Aksai Chin which is already a central part of the logistics network connecting Xinjiang and Tibet. South Tibet requires supply lines that cross the Himalayas. China and India basically fight on...

Agree. The Mizoram girl in your post looks very East Asian but Nike Ardilla doesn't. I think it's down to eyes and lips. Haven't watched Ardilla's shows but her smile and her sense of comedy remind of Chinese actress Zhao Lusi.

South Tibet is on the other side of the Himalayas. Too costly to integrate into the national economy and too costly to defend. So no, China is not taking it.

One difference between China and India: Tibetan exiles can openly join Indian military to fight China and engaging in high profile anti-China propaganda warfare without worrying about Tibetans in China getting lynched by angry mobs.

Once in a while some Taiwanese politicians would openly contemplating bombing the Three Gorges Dam and bragging about how that would kill tens of millions of people. I'm just flattered they put so much faith in our no first use policy.

Nanshan is one of the nine (or ten, depends on how you count) districts of Shenzhen. It houses Shenzhen High-Tech Industrial Park and is home to Huawei, Tencent, ZTE, DJI and many others. When Trump started his tech war on China many joked it'd be over quicker if the U.S. president just asked...

Haven't I done this already?

I asked you to clarify because there are two conflicting uses of the term. Rather then spending time engaging in totally unconstructive name-calling, go do some basic research. Even something as basic as Wikipedia can help you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Turkestan

What do you even mean by 'East Turkestan'? If you mean Tarim Basin then the demographics statistics you cited as evidence for 'population dilution' failed to apply because it was for the whole of Xinjiang. If you use 'East Turkestan' to mean the whole of Xinjiang (which is a revisionist use of...
