Unlike other countries, Chinese stock market doesn't reflect the base of its economy. If go back to 2011 and 2012, when china gdp growth rate was like above 11%, the shanghai stock index was still fluctuating around 2000 points. In mid of 2015, china stock market, using shanghai index as...

At lest Japan should have its own and independent strategy and foreign policy first. Otherwise no big difference towards Asia and World if Japan couldn't solve the issue. Its just like a strong US and a stronger US and will be no difference in essential

USN have the ability to come in to your security area without you notice. The change of power balance is a challenge to US.

True. But similar as Chinese Navy to Pacific Ocean, there will be a long way to go for Indian Navy to challenge the presence of US Navy in Indian Ocean.

Chinese companies had borrowed a lot of US dollar debt due to the zero rate. It was estimated to be around 1.4 trillion US dollars debt in 2015 for those companies. After FED raised the rate, Chinese companies accelerated their pay back the US dollar debt. It is expected that the decrease of...

What I mean is that 60% is not a big change. 50% already there, 60% is just 10% above 50%. US won't pull out its military assets from India Ocean.

Before 2012, US had already deployed around 50% of assets in ASIA Pacific region. 60% is just additional 10%, no big deal to US.

Really nice. Especially the first one.

Agree. If a country's GDP growth is just based on currency not on its inherent growth, the base will be vary fragile. The lesson of Japan has taught us a lot. China has made a smart move by hooking Yuan to a basket of currencies instead of just US dollar.

You should see the more extended period. Before 1985, the currency for Yuan was 2: 1 over US dollars. Yuan was devalued by China government on purpose from 2:1 against US dollars on 1980s to 8.4: 1 on 1990s to boost export. Since then, China became a world factory. China had been facing...

Well, devaluation of currency makes a country's GDP look bad, but it really can boost the export-orientated manufacturing sector. Japan has been devaluing Yen from 70-80 to the current 120 to help its economy recover. US government also has criticized the devaluation of RenMinBi. Devaluation...

For one belt one road, I guess

Too late for what? too late for Japan to build up its independent military industry and development system. As I said, the best chance for Japan to start its own stuff after WWII is between 1985 and 1995. Since Japan has missed that opportunity, its military industry and development system have...

US won't allow Japan to develop its own military system. And meanwhile Japan doesn't have the capability to build an independent military industry system from US. Too late. The best chance for Japan is back to 1985 to 1995

At least Africa are getting hospitals, high ways, railways, dams, electricity plants and schools. That's the difference. BTW, there is no many qualified, trained or educated workers in Africa. Time is money.

Of course there was, is, and will be high degree of corruption in Africa. Chinese may take advantage of corruption to favor their business in Africa. In contrast, to destabilize Africa, Western will take advantage of every chance e.g. corruption, religious and ethnic conflicts.

There is a fundamental difference among what the western colonizers and Chinese have done to Africa. Western colonizers are draining resources and wealth from Africa via destabilizing regions and countries, inducing wars and selling weapons. Chinese are draining resources too, but in return...

The following is what I heard about what Japanese think about Japan and US: Japan is perfect but US is better
