If you believe Korean government has more pull than US. In 1968 200m sprint Gold medallist Tommie Smith and Bronze Medallist John Carlos were suspended from US olympics team and banned from Olympic village by order of IOC for making a political statement during the medal ceremony. When the...

I will try be here more often, but honestly it is not the time that I am lacking, it is rather sometimes a lot of the topics have already become way too messy by the time I want to step in, and I couldn't find any angle to start with. BTW, this might be interesting for you regarding my old...

Are you talking about Carsharp? I have always wondered what happened to him as well, so my guess is pretty much comfirmed by you. I think sometimes good people should just have to be more tolerating to some others. The whole world is full of people who are ignorant and sensational, but...

Just made an observation, it seems that most of time, countries that wants to go to International Court of Justice for disputed territories are those who actually don't have any leverage in those dispute. Too bad for Japan, this reminds me of a 2003 Korean film I saw a while ago "2009 Lost...

Obviously Chinese government should have whoever is in charge of department of keeping secrets beheaded. It seems apparently it doesn't take any effort for even some members here to find any information about China's scandal and negative news. Beheading, hanging, burn at stake whatever means...

I don't think any reasonable person would expect China win these medal counts against USA this year, as China still has a few obstacles to overcome in sports. However as you mention, in 2004 China only had 32 Gold and total of 63 medals. I am neglecting 2008 since China has the home...

This case says something different then what you are saying though. However the problem is how could he covered it so well? If Wang did not go to US consulate in Chongqing, there won't be as much progress as right now. In China no one is unanswerable to no one, because althrough Chinese has...

I have a question for you though. When I was in Boston studying my roommate was from Singapore and he went to the army before he attended college. He told me that when he was in the Singaporean army, they were actually mainly trained to fight Vietnamese Army. Here I am wondering whether it is...

The matter here is not whether anyone support China's claim, but it is if anyone's claim are supported. Other countries says nothing besides citing UNCLOS. You said that Philippines and Vietnam is solving their problems but based by your claim it seem bit strange as you claim spratly are...

During 2008 Beijing Olympics openning ceremony, Pakistani delegation was given rousing ovation from the Chinese audience alone with few other countries like Russia, Cuba, Iraq and interestingly Canada. That is how Chinese people really feel about people from other countries.

That is unlikely to happen, ROC's determination to keep those claim are as strong as China if not more. BBC News - Taiwan to boost forces in disputed Spratly Islands In the end, people could argue this all day long and this is still going to be a dispute among those states. No one outside...

I think that Chinese government really should give Neil Heywood an award for his sacrifice, and put him alone side of Norman Bethune. The secret investigation of Gu Kailai and Bo Xilai has been going on for years with not much progress until this incident. He did all Chinese a favour for...

Claims over the Spratly Islands - Taipei Times Again the question is left for ROC government to answer.

Is it just me or it is for everyone, on this thread and some other threads. I have problem accessing the last page of the thread. It keeps bouncing back to the preview page.

The map is from the book "Voyage with the Tail Wind (順風相送)", the origninal version is located in Oxford University Bodleian Library. Maybe yo should have someone look it up. USA's independence has anything to do with the argument, the argument is how USA come to...

The map is copy of Zhenghe voyage map from 15th century. Zhenghe you know, maybe you have heard of him. The original should be in the archive, shouldn't be too hard to find as all his voyages were pretty well documented. You are the one that brought up the historical map argument, and as I...

That is how far you can go??? This map is from 1405-1421 by Zhenghe voyage, and it has . At that time there even was no unifying political state encompassing the entire Philippine Archipelago. By the twelfth century, names for the South China Sea Islands began to appear, the Paracels and...

Exactly, Russia's core interest is to regain its position as the arbitrator of Europe while China is only looking after its interests in the Asia pacific. So there really isn't any conflict of interest there, and two can help each other with their interests in their prespective regions. US...

Hey people, it is just a very small section of the Great Wall collapse, not the entire wall, so it is not a big deal. Today the Great Wall has many sections that had been badly damage or destroyed due to war or natural disasters and remain that way.
