    The only ones that need to answer questions are the filthy lying chinkies committing cultural genocide.

    'Global Times' eh? I'm surprised they're so biased in favour of China.

    I'd have thought they'd be pretty neutral with a name like that.



    Type: Daily newspaper (Weekdays with a weekend edition)

    Founded: 1993, (Chinese edition) 2009, (English Edition)

    Political alignment: Chinese Communist Party

    Language: Chinese and English

    Headquarters: No.2 Jintai Xilu, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100733, People's Republic of China
    ..Oh.

    So they have questions the west needs to answer then?

    And that's it.

    Just the graphic- no background, substantiation...nothing.



    Guess the west had better hurry up, considering the reputation for honesty and openness that China has.

    Why would anyone feel obligated to answer such bullshit questions?

    How's it going in your homeland?

    Shall we play a game?

    It was a rhetorical question but thanks for the non-answer anyway I guess.

    Here's another: you know that two wrongs don't make a right... right??

    Now there's a number you can understand

    That said; it's my understanding that life comes with a lower pricetag in China and....Texas

    Absolutely . . . well said. Cultural Revolution, Great Leap Forward, Famine, Civil War etc... It'd be close.

    Yeah; one caused the other( or some of it)

    Might not be murder, but incompetence and ideological romanticism, so close to murder.

    Fick those peasants
    ( many millions died, anyone's guess how many)

    Pretty much like what Churchill the Cont did

    It's what Helge does, he likes to be contrarian. He best be careful or he will end up like Sabang, or even Skidmark.

    Not only peasants, the Academics were the first to go , I started reading the The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin, and the Opening chapter that starts during the cultural revolution was disturbing to say the least.

    Thanks for the history lessons, but it would seem that in the current century China has learnt from it's lessons. Unlike the USA.

    The land of the Great Leap Forward is now the land that has lifted more people from poverty to middle class affluence than has ever happened in the history of mankind- in the space of one generation. They have achieved this via trade and manufacturing, not constant warfare and foreign meddling. Whichever way you look at it that is quite an achievement, of which the Chinese can be justly proud.

    Yeah, the bottom line looks good for China.

    It's not what the thread is about though.

    So, as long as business is doing well the population can suffer. Can Israel use the same rationale and you'd wholeheartedly accept it ... defend it even

    You are right. That's why I post. If I agreed I would send a green repo or nothing a all.

    I'm not like you guys in the Pacific Ring, who NEVER disagrees with each other, but just have an echo to offer.

    Quite pathetic, if you ask me, which you didn't, allthough did provoke.


    I post if I see a different angle or have a very poor joke.

    Not a problem

    They have their opinions and have the guts to share them, whereas you have 1/5 of an independent opinion.

    Those six questions the West will clearly not answer to the Chinese, although the rhetorical question is worth asking, and worth leaving hanging. An irritant, if you like.

    There are considerably more pressing questions the West needs to be asking itself however. Our continuing state of Denial, and sticking our head firmly in the sand will not work, never has.

    A simple dose of Reality should inspire some fresh thinking, but probably will not in the current stultified West:-



    In its report The World in 2050, international professional services company PwC lists what will be the top 10 economies in the world:


    • China

    • India

    • US
    • Indonesia
    • Brazil
    • Russia

    • Mexico

    • Japan

    • Germany
    • United Kingdom





    Where did the West go? The report says simply: today's developing markets will be tomorrow's economic superpowers.

    Outside of the top 10, Vietnam, the Philippines and Nigeria will be the biggest movers in the rankings.

    The report compares the E7 (emerging economies) with the G7. In 1995, the E7 were half the size of the G7; by 2015, the E7 had drawn level; by 2040, the E7 could be double the size of the G7.

    A Rip Van Winkle "go to sleep and dream away the future" approach won't work.

    'Experts' have been saying that about the Philippines ever since Marcos shuffled off.
