What is your view about Korea and Vietnam?

[FairAndUnbiased]

we're doin okay with technology, but our economy sucks right now cmpared to China, especially the natural disasters thet struck japan recently... How does China manage a free market economy while staying Communist??? its kinda impressive.

its a free market only in certain areas. in banking, telecom, railroads, power generation, oil and gas, steel and defence, it is socialist. In the US, for example, defence is private - Lockheed Martin is listed on the NYSE. Actually, the US is one of the only countries in the world with a private defence industry.

It combines the best features of a planned economy, where you can fund "big things" like nuclear weapons, high speed rail, super computers, vaccine development, oil exploration, airplane development and space travel, with the best features of the free market, which is enough consumer products.

Actually, Korea and Japan had a similar system, but instead of the companies being directly owned by the government, they just took money and orders from the government... which is basically the same thing. Samsung, Hyundai and LG are all heavily connected to the government of South Korea.

you clown just bite your tail again, if by that logic then japan must occupy your vietnam and korea and india instead of China so they don't have to loose so many blood as they got in the past!!! Your local beautiful vietnamese women will please all of the superior officers with great satisfy and willing love!!!!

oh well, I just forgot, why talking too far, right these days your vietnamese women are in high demand in rural areas of China and South Korea, vietnam is well known as a number 1 country in mailing bridges exporting!!! Some of the most poorest regions in China could easily buy your girls with few bucks!!! I know your vietnamse are very proud of producing such beautiful girl for sell!!!

Happy yet, talkative troll????

Buy viet girls with a few bucks??? Here is a report appearing in a German online daily newspaper WELT some days ago. Due to huge shortage of women in China, according to the report, marrying a viet girl will "cost" about 50.000 bis 200.000 Yuan (24.000 Euro). Comparing to 2000 bis 3000 Yuan in the 90´s. I doubt that poor and not educated chinese/korean guys will get a chance.
Those men shall go to other countries if they want to look for women to marry. Pls stay away from VN. Viet parents usually never want their daughters to get married with chinese or korean men. Nor foreigners.

Well I think many people today want to exaggerate the greatness and glory of their histories, even without academic evidence.
