  7. One should strive to improve oneself, instead of pulling others down.

  8. The "Death Star" from Star Wars comes to mind.

  14.  @mcshitums9362  "神州 Shenzhou not when people are killing themselves in those same cities" Do you have proof of such a claim? I mean, the U.S has only 4% of the world's population, yet they are home to 25% of the world's covid deaths, shouldn't this statistic be alarming in of itself?
    13
  15.  @dekumutant  China is already the world's largest robotics and automation market. China produces the most renewable green energy in the world, and China is also home to the world's largest high-speed rail network, surpassing even Japan's Shinkansen in terms of track length.
    12
  16.  @thefrontier2288  Guess which country has the world's largest number of covid cases and deaths?
    12
  17. Indeed. Learning to read Chinese might become one of the requirements for foreign astronauts wanting to enter Tiangong (天宮) space station.

  18.  @MarkYeung1  Landing on the far side of the Moon is much more complicated, because lunar landers aren't able to receive signals directly from the other side of the Moon. China solved this problem through deploying a relay satellite (named "Magpie Bridge" 鹊桥) that allowed China's Chang'e 4 (嫦娥-4) lunar lander to communicate with Earth despite being on the far side of the Moon. Even NASA with all its resources hasn't achieved a lunar landing on the far side, unlike China.
    12
  19. Agreed. Whereas when you try to improve yourself, you may also inadvertently spur others to improve themselves as well.
    11
  20.  @fireturkeyfly11  China's government has demonstrated that there can be both improvements to people's standard of living (i.e poverty alleviation) as well as innovation and exploring the space frontier.

  27.  @PossibleTango  Tibet was part of China since 800 years ago, back when the Mongols conquered the Kingdom of Thibet and Song Dynasty China, and incorporated those territory into Yuan Dynasty China. The Manchu conquerors did a similar thing with Tibet centuries later during the Qing Dynasty. Just look up maps of Yuan and Qing Dynasty and Tibet was clearly part of Chinese history. So why should China give up our ancestral land of Tibet? Because Westerners say so?

  39.  @fireturkeyfly11  Why call it the "International" Space Station, when Chinese scientists and astronauts are excluded from it? Are Chinese somehow not part of the international community? We represent around a fifth of humanity yet we are barred from the ISS?

  40.  @michaeljames2349  You said: "神州 Shenzhou They're not but keep trying" If they are not, then why is the West so afraid of Russia and China? A multipolar world allows multiple voices to be heard, from multiple sides. Whereas the unipolar world only allows a single voice to be heard (namely that of the U.S).

  41.  @Andy-P  Made in China 2025 aims to upgrade the manufacturing capabilities of Chinese industries, moving China away from being a producer of cheap low-tech goods into a more technology-intensive powerhouse. Does it fit in the theme of improving oneself, not pulling others down?

  42.  @Andy-P  You said: "Thanks to all the state subsidies china could achieve this. By the way large state subsidies is against WTO rules." On Jan 26 2022, the WTO awarded China the right to impose $645 million of compensatory tariffs against the United States after the latter's anti-subsidy tariffs imposed on China in 2012. You're basically behaving like the U.S in this regard, hurling accusations of China's state subsidies that later turned out to be false.

  43.  @johncasey5594  "we would have stayed in Europe and not seen that there were entire undiscovered landmasses." Well, the American landmass would still exist either way, even if Europeans did not "discover" it. And in fact, Native American population would most likely number in the majority in their homeland, had America not been "discovered" by the Europeans.

  44.  @AQuietNight  "神州 Shenzhou I am well aware of 2025 but the majority of the population will not be in high tech." Well, is the majority of the United State's population in high tech then? What's your point?

  45.  @Andy-P  You said: "神州 Shenzhou Less chance for high value imports then from the western world." China is already the world's largest exporter of high tech goods. Here's a list of countries/regions by high tech exports in 2020. 1. Mainland China ($757 billion) 2. Hong Kong SAR, China ($340 billion) 3. Germany ($182 billion) 4. Korea ($163 billion) 5. Singapore ($160 billion) 6. United States ($141 billion) 7. Japan ($102 billion) 8. Vietnam ($101 billion) 9. Malaysia ($92 billion) 10. Netherlands ($87 billion) ...

  46.  @AQuietNight  The bottom 50% of lower income groups in America have had their standards of living remained unchanged for the past 40 years (source: Prof Kishore Mabubani) then what's you point about the majority of the population of China not being in high tech? There are other products for China to make besides high tech, isn't it?

  47.  @fireturkeyfly11  "you will understanding why China is not allowed in ISS, because ISS is a civilian, international operations." China's Space Agency is also a civilian organization and China is a part of the international community, yet why is China not allowed on board the ISS. Even Russia is allowed on the ISS, but not China?

  48.  @johncasey5594  You said: "What if Europeans never spent the money and took the risk to explore the oceans, we would have never discovered the Americas." The Americas existed long before Europeans colonized it. Now the Native Americans have become the minority within their own lands.

  49.  @jonlamontagne  You said: "神州 Shenzhou America did not exist until 1776 when the Constitution was signed." America clearly existed before 1776, you're just conflating the continent of America with the United States. I merely pointed out that America existed before Europeans colonized it, it's just your own hubris to think America would never have been discovered.

  50.  @Andy-P  "神州 Shenzhou China does give massive subsidies to industry." China is not the only country using subsidies. Global Trade Alert, which tracks government policies that affect world trade, assembled an inventory of 18,137 corporate subsidies awarded by China, the European Union (EU) and the United States since November 2008, with most of them in the latter two regions. In other words, the bulk of subsidies were actually awarded by the EU and USA according to Global Trade Alert.

  52.  @Andy-P  You said: "神州 Shenzhou The Chinese & Indian ones certainly did." The Chinese and Indian ones weren't really aberrations per se, because China and India were historically economic powers from 1-1800 AD. It's the rise of the West that's a historical aberration, and the rise of China and India are merely our countries returning to our previous superpower status.

  53.  @Andy-P "神州 Shenzhou No need to import western goods then?" It's not China that wants to decouple from the West, it's the West that wants it. But decoupling at this point in time is virtually impossible to achieve, given that China controls 90% of the world's rare earth metals production. Rare earths are used as components in high technology devices, including smart phones, digital cameras, computer hard disks, fluorescent and light-emitting-diode (LED) lights, flat screen televisions, computer monitors, and electronic displays.

  55.  @AQuietNight  "神州 Shenzhou As I said: Income distribution" Yes, the U.S has huge income inequality and nothing seems to be done to address this issue. On the other hand, President Xi has vowed to reduce the income gap through common prosperity.

  56.  @AQuietNight  "神州 Shenzhou China has more to lose if it loses it's export market than the U.S. has to gain by importing from China." China is the world's factory, there's always a demand for Chinese goods by the rest of the world. Even if you exclude the US, Chinese goods are in demand in emerging economies in South America, Africa, Middle-East and South East Asia. Whereas where is the U.S going to get their products from if they decouple from China? No other country in the world can match China as the world's factory.

  57.  @Andy-P  Unclogging and reopening closed rare earth mines in the West is a slow process, not to mention the extraction process might only produce small yields of rare earths, compared to China's rare earth production. Also, will Western people tolerate the pollution that's a byproduct of rare earth production?
    1
  58.  @Andy-P  You said: "China has already used the rare earths option on Japan in the past." Are you certain that China has exercised the rare earth option on Japan? Analysis of Japanese port data from the Japanese Ministry of Finance shows that there was no uniform drop in Japanese imports of Chinese rare earths. Similarly, a 2012 article in The Chinese Journal of International Politics cites Japanese and US news media to demonstrate that Japanese officials and businesses had been aware since mid-August 2010 of Chinese plans to reduce their worldwide rare earths exports. The studies suggest that any decline in rare earth exports to Japan in the latter half of 2010 was more likely the result of China’s earlier decision to cut worldwide rare earths exports.

  59.  @AQuietNight  Are American workers willing to work for the same low wages as Chinese workers? If not, then the cost of Made-in-US goods will be higher than Made-in-China goods. Combined with inflation and the rising cost of fuel and food in the U.S, those Made-in-US goods are going to have a harder time finding buyers than Made-in-China goods. And if American products can last 60-80 years, then how are the American companies going to make money? The fact remains that there's always a demand for Chinese goods, so even if U.S somehow decouples from China, China can still export our products to developing economies like in South America, Africa, Middle East, ASEAN countries, etc. But if the U.S stops importing from China, then they would lack access to affordable goods, making the cost of living in the U.S much higher.

  60.  @AQuietNight  Even though U.S Federal Reserve spends a lot on Social Security, it doesn't yield the desired results, as the bottom 50% of lower income Americans have had their standards of living remained unchanged for the past 40 years (source: Prof Kishore Mabubani). Since it's apparently ineffective in the US, what makes you think President Xi will follow the West and start implementing social security programs in China?

  61.  @AQuietNight  Excuse me, but didn't you say earlier that: "The Yuan will have to rise in value"? That means the RMB that people saved after retirement will be worth more, so aren't you contradicting yourself here?

  62. China is already home to the world's largest telescope on Earth. The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST, also known as "Eye of the Heavens" 天眼) has more than 2.5 times more sensitive than the Arecibo Observatory, which means that FAST can see fainter sources from farther away. FAST also has a greater effective collecting area (71,000 square meters), than the 305-meter-wide Arecibo (50,000 square meters).

  100.  @fireturkeyfly11  You said: "China does not keep the promise and militarise South China Sea, forcecibly take over most of the islands" China has twelve islands while Vietnam occupies twenty-one islands on which it has built runways, piers, barracks, storage tanks, and gun emplacements. Malaysia and the Philippines, have five and nine sites respectively, occupied by naval detachments. Yet the West close one eye towards Vietnam occupying most of the islands and militarizing them, while blaming China for militarization?

  101.  @fireturkeyfly11  You said: "for years, countries around lay claim to those island but dare not to become too loud, because of threats from China. This is before any military base was built." Vietnam began construction of its airstrip on _Spratly Island in 1976, making this the first runway in the Spratly island group. In 1978, the Philippines incorporated Thitu Island after airstrip construction had already begun. In 1983, Malaysia built a resort and airstrip atop Swallow Reef. The Nationalist Chinese government occupied Itu Aba in 1946, but did not begin constructing its airstrip until 2006, and construction finished in 2008. China is the most recent Spratly claimant to build an airstrip, which it began on Fiery Cross Reef in late 2014 after it reclaimed the former low-lying feature._ ...

  102.  @fireturkeyfly11  "For years, those countries that lay claim on the island built a small scale military base," So you admit that those countries/regions were militarizing the South China Sea Islands earlier than China? Then why is it that the U.S did not go after those other countries, instead it goes after China? Also, China does not occupy the majority of South China Sea Islands, we only have 12, compared to Vietnam occupying 21 islands, yet you're painting China as the bully here? You said: "At most is to fend off pirates." Likewise, China is fending off pirates in the South China Sea by building bases there, how is this different from other claimants to the SCS? You said: "When the big bully China comes it, it kicks out those small fries, especially Philippine." The Philippines ran aground a ship (BRP Sierra Madre) onto a South China Sea Island claimed by China, in order to stake Manila's claim to those territory. China offered to help repair the ship to send it on its way, but the Philippines refused, because they want to claim the island for themselves. Yet you're painting China as the bully here? You said: "At the end, China states clearly CCP will not militarise the region." China only made the promise to Obama Adminstration if they would stop sending warships to the SCS. But the U.S did not honor their promise, so China is no longer under obligation to honor ours.

  103.  @fireturkeyfly11  In 1947, China published the claim to the South China Sea Islands and back then, nobody objected to China's claim, not even Vietnam. In 1958, the North Vietnam PM Pham van Dong had formally acknowledged that the Spratly and Paracel Islands were historically Chinese, in a diplomatic note he wrote to Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai. The diplomatic note was written on September 14 and was publicized on Nhan Dan newspaper(Vietnam) on September 22, 1958. In 1958, the People's Republic of China issued a declaration defining its territorial waters which encompassed the Spratly and Paracel Islands. North Vietnam's prime minister, Pham Van Dong, sent a diplomatic note to Zhou Enlai, stating that "The Government of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam respects this decision." ... Source: Wikipedia:File:1958 diplomatic note from phamvandong to zhouenlai Yet when it was later discovered that the region contained rich reserves of natural resources, Vietnam suddenly changed their mind and started claiming the South China Seas Islands for itself. Vietnam even began construction of its airstrip on Spratly Island in 1976, making this the first runway in the Spratly island group, as well as building barracks and gun emplacements on those islands.
