Just like many US generals are trying to inflating China threat to balloon Pentagon budget, this Chinese ex-military person is just trying to warn the Chinese public not to be complacent about India threat. It's eye-catching for the TV channel. The fact is, large percentage of the Chinese...

Disinformation is false information deliberately spread to deceive people. And your funny realities of the disinformation about China has been done deliberately for decades if not centuries dated all the way back to the "Yellow Peril" days in 19th century by the West. This was a racial metaphor...

LOL, you may be flagging (falsely or not which I don't care) as a Pakistani on this forum, but you sure Sinophobically trash-talk like some ill-informed self-righteous neocolonialistic crusader. You cannot even fathom and comprehend that China isn't a "communist state" as you mentioned, as a...

From the social media videos clips inside the Olympic Village, every athlete gets a Brand-new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 5G Olympic and Paralympic Edition phone for free, which cost around $1,000 US dollars. Wonder how many athletes will insist on using a "Burner phone" dated back in early 2000s and...

The girls are super cute! However, too much white loose/setting powders were applied with unmatching shades for their skin tone on some of the girls' U-zones (cheeks/chins). Just look at the necklines on these girls, so unnatural. Wrong coloured/no foundation base applied around their...

Perhaps because Stanford Uni ranks higher than Tsinghua or Peking Uni, for now.

There is a prominent tipping culture in Canada (&USA), forgetting to leave a gratuity of between 15 to 25 per cent will probably cause the waiters to chase you down the road shouting:rofl:. This forced a lot more usage of cash, as many tourists are from TRUE cashless countries, they simply just...

There are transferable ship-building techniques/skills/people, etc. that countries can utilise in naval ship-building industry from their civilian/commercial side. And since the three East Asian countries (China/S. Korea/Japan) accounted for over 95% of the global commericial vessels production...

They can't... (poorer strategically political position/geolocation, lack of capability/determination/will power or whatever)

Congrats! May the best team wins.

It's always been bad for the working class commoners. England's turning into a police state, they have cash seizure power on anyone carrying over £1,000 cash, depending on reasonable grounds for suspicion. (Do we smell racial profiling?). Basically, if the police find £1,000 or more in any type...

A sign that Chinese RMB is starting to gain some grounds, as Iran-China relationship hits new high, and the Iranian government is trying to find alternative payment system other than US dollar/SWIFT system.

Appearantly, cash has made a comeback during COVID days, just as we thought virus/germs could be transmitted via physical surface of the banknotes. According to this article: Posthaste: Here's a surprise, cash isn't dead — in fact it's making a comeback Cash in circulation in Canada has jumped...

Yeah, the cashless transactions in Hong Kong is no way near even half of what is in Mainland China. Even beggars on street in China has a QR code on a piece of paper for every passer-by to scan, as normal people don't carry cash these days. Never mind the taxi rides, corner shops, day/night...

You don't have to like them; you don't have to agree with them; but DO try your best to obey them. A friendly reminder, as a free soul from a country with such rich history, please, the next time you visit Singapore, a representative democracy and US ally, do avoid...

Basically a tit-for-tat retaliation from China in response to the UK's recent stances on Hongkong/Xinjiang/SCS. It's a total mess, domestically and internationally, for the current UK government, probably the worst one in dealing with any crisis after WWII. Especially after Brexit, which has...

Impressive, that depth is just slightly less than two thirds of the height of Mount Everest! LOL, on a side note, if you want to make a point of how brilliant the US deep marine salvage tech is, by quoting from US media, an imperial length of 19,075 feet means absolutely nothing to the young...

Wow, looks like the leaked video is authentic. Naval Air Forces officials confirmed “that there has been an unauthorized release of video footage from flight deck cameras” aboard Vinson. Link 1 (Navy Times) Link 2 (The Hill)

Wow, a staggering $6.9 billion for 4 frigates (3500-4000 tonnes class ships) + some equipment, Hellenic navy is sure to have a "bargain" of the decade...

Isn't LCS project a multi-billion dollar failure? Already decommisioned 2 ships (LCS-1/LCS-2), and will soon to decommission another 4 ships (LCS-3/LCS-4/LCS-7/LCS-9) on 31 March 2022, merely 5-10 years after they've entered the service! Plagued with technical difficulties and cost overrun, as...
