    India shame story: Israeli paedophile adopts girl through surrogate mother

    I am not well versed in Israeli law, but I hope that this law would be changed. I hope we will find a way to take care of the girl as soon as possible, too bad this is not making the national news here :(

    China’s Economic Empire

    Wow, well I see that intellectual honesty is not your thing. I have ignored most of the article however I brought all the clauses relevant to what you and me were discussing, which was not the main point of the article. Anyone can see that we were not discussing China but Human rights practices...

    China’s Economic Empire

    @Developereo I don't have full information, but for the sake of the argument I'll assume you do. 5% subsidiary is not the same as 20% wouldn't you agree? I have not argued that the west does not practice subsidiaries, I am just curious to compare the extent.

    China’s Economic Empire

    You have quoted a text that does not have the word slavery in it, nor any hint at that. Can you please provide a link where I said China runs slavery? Even if someone said something like that, and even if it's wrong (I don't know), if we ban every person who has said something wrong in the...

    China’s Economic Empire

    @Developereo Are you suffering from an inability to read what doesn't work for you? I have addressed all this already in post #14, I suggest you reread it. On the contrary, the final paragraph states that the west adherence to Human rights and fairness is it's strength (economically against...

    China’s Economic Empire

    I'm just going to put it here for your pleasure ;) How Chinese Subsidies Changed the World Last week, LDK Solar, a struggling Chinese manufacturer of solar wafers and panels, announced that it had missed $24 million in bond payments. This news followed the bankruptcy in March of Wuxi Suntech...

    China’s Economic Empire

    @Developereo Yes, the article's main point is as you said. But since we (me and you) were not debating the main point of the article (or China at all)... You said the article claimed something which it didn't, that the west favors human rights above foreign policy, which is untrue. When...

    China’s Economic Empire

    @Developereo Not quite, more like article states the opposite. I guess you haven't read the full piece. [1] The article states that Chinese economical power may effect western political agendas (no specification whether internal or external). It also gives examples when Chinese firms caused...

    China’s Economic Empire

    @Developereo I think that it's obvious that like the two attributes written just before "fair competition", this one too is meant internally.

    China’s Economic Empire

    No one argued to the contrary (though I don't necessarily agree). You statement is simply irrelevant to the subject, which is the economy of China at this time, and how it compares to current Western economies. Why aren't you instead debunking the claims? or explaining that such measures are...

    China admits it: we are cutting off Filipino supply to Ayungin Shoal

    @karim3343 By the same standard Canada, Belgium, Switzerland. Neither do all their people living in China speak the same language as their primary. Who are you to set imaginary standards for what is a country? It is the people of said country who decide this, not you. There was never...

    PLAN patrols USA waters intimdating Washington

    The fact that China signed the UNCLOS does not mean that she agrees with every single written word of the document, just that China saw it to her benefit to sign it as a whole.

    Istanbul protests: Second day of unrest in Turkey

    @Doritos11 I think he was sarcastic. @Jamaal Yelmaaz thanks for posting the views of the other side. Personally I believe that the worst idea for a protest in a civilized country to do is to go violent. You automatically turn the hard working classes and middle classes against you since they...

    Istanbul protests: Second day of unrest in Turkey

    Turkey’s prime minister on Sunday rejected claims that he is a “dictator,” dismissing protesters as an extremist fringe even as thousands returned to the landmark Istanbul square that has become the site of the fiercest anti-government outburst in years. “There is now a menace which is called...

    Istanbul protests: Second day of unrest in Turkey

    @T-123456 Thanks for clarifying a bit. Ardogan indeed managed to do good for the economy, as I understand that's what helped him do his "reforms" in the military. Can you help me understand what are the protesters demands? I am not sure they asked for him to go? Do they just want him to cancel...

    Istanbul protests: Second day of unrest in Turkey

    This is from today: If no one cares and no one is reading this i can stop. Can a Turk (or any other with good knowledge on the subject) help me understand why Ardogan does not organize protests which support him? I am confident there are many more that support him then these...
