It has less to do with men not wanting single moms. I have no problem raising other men's children. Children are children, they are innocent from adults' affairs. It has more to do with singe moms became single moms for a reason. Maybe they took their husbands' contribution to the family for granted, maybe they are incapable of being happy but blame it on their partners, maybe they see themselves to be worth more than some multi-millionaire's wife, so they despise what they got, maybe they have been indoctrinated to believe life is better without men, maybe they are control freak who drive men away, maybe they had experiences with the worst type of men and sees all men to be just like them, etc, etc. Problem is the mom, not the kids.

Since where did I say you need to be impressed by my comment? I'm saying, that wasn't a correct observation. Do you call American kids with Hollywood dream ending up broke on streets of Sunset Boulevard or strippers as a form of human trafficking? How is this any different? Comparing this to slavery is trivializing the hardships and abuse of slavery. Slaves didn't have agency to quit, or say no.
As for modeling agencies paying pennies to these models, every banana you paid $1 for, $0.10 goes to the farmer. $0.9 goes to wealthy corps selling those goods. Which in turn profit shareholders of shipping companies and grocery chains. You are okay not paying for bananas ethically, but not okay with consumers of fashion brands not paying models ethically? Why? Because those are pretty girls and farmers look like crap? You want to solve this problem? Easy, boost Eastern Europe's economy. No different than if you don't want women of Thailand cleaning and messaging tourists' feet for pennies, boost their local economy. And yes, I already make it very clear it IS unethical. Geez. And I didn't say the solution was boycotting, I was saying, no one is going to boycott it, so it is going to continue to be what it is. Because impoverished regions of Eastern Europe aren't going to get free money from the world, impoverished regions of Thailand aren't going to get free money from the world.

TYT is not getting it. The left IS responsible for it. Violent "activism" like Antifa grew out of bullshit ideologies that paint anyone who doesn't agree with the left as evil. Under those indoctrinations, why would it be wrong to be violent against "evil"? Would it be wrong to attack a racist, misogynist, rapist, Nazi, white supremacist? Hmm? Denouncing their violence now does not free the left of responsibilities. The left bred the monster. Now that you wish you can reign it in but couldn't, it's still on you.The only way to solve this is to come clean and admit all those identity politics of the left were all bullshit, and start reporting truth.
This happened before. China's Cultural Revolution that singlehandedly destroyed that country. America is lucky what was in motion was stopped at the very last hour, by Trump and his supporters. So, are you going to be on the right side of history and help steer it around, or are you still going to pretend you have no clue what's going on, just so you are not "wrong"?

@MissesWitch
Well, limitless fundings require a strong economy from taxpayers, made possible only by citizens being free, which in turn requires an ingenious constitution that guarantees it. So, it's not that simple. There is a reason electric power, dams, manned flight, commercial flight, satellite communication, silicone chips, personal computer, internet, etc. all came from U.S. It's not coincidence.

We are not Chinese. Chinese are PRC citizens. We are not. Just like Steve Jobs is American, not Syrian, Andrew Yang is American, not Taiwanese, Neil deGrasse Tyson is American, not Keyan or whatever. By your logic, U.S. has to be split into parts to be part of Italy, France, Denmark, Kenya, Germany, UK, China, whatever based on ethnicity of population. The fact that Taiwanese can speak the truth against CCP's lies and still not being thrown into jail, pretty much proves we are not Chinese.

Actually, I find what's more laughable is they realized lumping gamers into false stereotypes is backfiring, so they are back peddling saying, "No, no, gamers are okay, only losers not good at what you gamers are good at, are sexist." Please, people who lose will catch up, and when they do their personality changes? Gimme a break. Rude people will be rude, nice people will be nice.
My experience was the same as Milo, I started with PS3, stopped few years ago, but the community is extremely friendly:

You mean bachelors and MGTOWs? They do everything themselves, don't they? Since when were men incapable of living without women? In their culture, responsibility and authority are tied, as it should be. Their culture, roles reversed, will be men being responsible for income and meals ( which most of OUR cultures already do ), but men get to sleep with whoever they want, ask their women to leave before morning because they need to get back to work, and moms have no legal or parenting rights over their kids. In our culture, men get the responsibility but women get the authority, which, doesn't work. It's either shared, or one side gets both. Yet, here you are still talking about men needing to learn their place blah blah blah.

There is no reason for PRC collapse. Even if China were liberated, PRC is still PRC, just a liberated PRC instead of CCP-controlled authoritarian PRC. It would have to be China's internal driving force to cause such a big change, and leadership that created it, would be able to attract and gather talents to help with reform. There's no absolutely reason for them to adopt ROC's constitution as theirs, or seek Taiwan's/ROC's assistance. Which means, still no reason for "reunification". But of course, relationship between China and Taiwan would be much, much, much better.
By the way, ROC's constitution isn't owned by KMT, just as U.S. constitution isn't owned by any political party. Both are constitutions subject to be changed by the people. DDP, or any governing body of Taiwan, still has to govern in accordance to ROC's constitution.

Do they really game though? I’m a half century old Asian male. Mario, Katamari Prince, Samus Aran, Miriam (bloodstained), Donkey Kong, Kirby, Ico, Ulala, Ezio, Inklings and Octolings, Batman, all look nothing like me. Doesn’t prevent me from having fun.

@SiRasputin
Show me where in S.F. Treaty that states Taiwan was to be given to PRC, or even RoC. Heck, Chiang Kai Shek originally wanted to rebuild his RoC in exile in Philippines. Taiwan was only his temporary refuge. But that talk didn't have an outcome so he never left. Technically, Japan surrendered Taiwan to U.S. and U.S. just went, "We think people on that island and KMT can work things out themselves". If KMT never came, Taiwan would have established itself as an island nation post WWII, because Japan can't have it and it's unlikely U.S. would want to claim it. Yes, we wouldn't have been as strong militarily and might be invaded by PRC, but point being, don't make it sound as if Japan signed an agreement with CCP to hand it over to PRC. That never hapoened. On the other hand, it is stated in Nanking Treaty that HK was to be returned to *RoC* at end of lease. China just claim stuff that doesn't exist and ignore ones that do.

Comparing to other cities is meaningless. Compare it to local job opportunities and income. That’s what can pay off the mortgage. The best way to gauge income is to look at the rent, because if rent is too high, people leave, or at least job income won’t be attractive enough to warrant the rent. Rental income towards owners need to be more than 4%, or it’d make more sense for buyers to put their money elsewhere and just rent. Is rent at 4%+ of property value? I doubt it, which means the real estate price is higher than what income can pay off. Buyers are simply buying on hope of profiting from sales. Yes, household income rose year over year, but did both income and real estate rose at the same rate? Let’s be honest here, the only reason Chinese buy real estates is based on the myth that it’s the surest thing. If that’s the case, why doesn’t Warren Buffet get into any real estate investments? Because he knows less about economics than the old lady working at the restaurant who had heard her friends making money off properties? People do make huge profits, but it’s extremely high risk, it’s not a sure bet like 99% Chinese believe.

"... in China, not owning a property is shameful" There. I've heard it a million times. That's why it's bad news. That's not economics. You said cities like Vancouver, Paris have their real estate money coming in from sources NOT from local job income. Fine, locals simply rent. If all goes to shit, tenants will do just fine, some landlords will make it out with gain, some will take major losses. But you are saying most in China own. So what happens during economic downturn which will happen no matter what? Chinese people are immune to being laid off by big corps to please shareholders?
Let's get technical. Those buyers don't own, they co-own with banks. They are not renting condos, but they are renting money from the bank to pay for condos. So, which rent would make more sense? Renting a space or renting debt to buy a space? If rent is at 1% against property value, and mortgage interest is at 2.5% of property value, which makes more sense? That boils down to economics of the one and only question that matters: will millions of Chinese buyers be able to pay off this massive debt?
"Feeling" rich and being rich, and making the right calls to become rich, and stay rich, are all very different things. Real estate will be determined by math of economics, it won't be determined by how desperately Chinese men want to get girlfriends to have their dicks wet, or any stigma. For argument's sake, let's assume the Bible shames those who rent. Is that an enough reason to guarantee real estate prices in religious west cities skyrocketing far beyond what existing money can pay out, will be safe bet? Money can't magically appear through wishful thinking. It's either in existence within reasonable projection, or it doesn't exist.

Trump supporters are never anti any group. They are anti corruption in the political establishment. While name calling of 'racist, sexist, misogynist, irredeemable deplorable' to paint a group of citizens 'evil', came from Hilary supporters and Hilary herself.
As far as immigrants go, here's is Teddy Roosevelt's stance on it: “In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag… We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.”

Did you feel CCP was trying to erode HK’a civil rights last year when you visited HK? Taiwan has a political party which advocates for CCP taking over Taiwan. It obviously has no support from Taiwanese. But. Its top 2 legislator nominees for 2016 became KMT’s top 2 for 2020. Zone-free legislator candidates don’t need to compete in districts and are based off how popular a political party is. Those seats are meant for minority or special groups, such as those who voice for athletes, women, tech industries, medical services, whatever. KMT is a major party with certain guaranteed seats, and it placed 3 candidates who had openly took part in CCP’s ceremonial events, advocates for China taking over Taiwan, supports HK police’s handling of HK, etc, etc. And you think CCP isn’t meddling with Taiwan? We had to break up the network of that couple outed by that whistleblower in Australia, round up that dude who traffic CCP officials illegally to Taiwan, have U.S. sent cyber security experts from around the world to help Taiwan, have Facebook limit Taiwan’s election ads be paid in Taiwan’s currency only, have numerous raids on gambling dens booking election bets funded by CCP etc, etc, just to have a proper election.

Actually, our vice president who is an epidemiologist from John Hopkins, believes Wuhan's sudden lockdown was the wrong move that guaranteed a pandemic. That sort of drastic move causes panic and results in massive exodus out of Wuhan. No different than Italy's lockdown forcing international students in Italy to return their homeland, giving the virus a free ride. He said if it was his call, he would have asked global medical community to Wuhan to help identify and separate the infected, the potential risks, and the healthy, to be in different spaces. Even if Wuhan lockdown was inevitable, what's far more important is WHO advising travelers with recent travel history in Wuhan to be traced or come forward so their health can be monitored, and China keeping track of people having symptoms during the lockdown, both of which never happened.

In Mario's main line, Peach only shows up in prologue and end game. Point being, DEI teams have this silly mentality that games need to show us what "normal" looks like. I'm a normal looking old Asian male. Mario, Ico, Wander, Ezio, Katamari Prince, Ulala, Prince of Persia, Penitent One, Samus Aran, Kirby, Inklings, all look nothing like me. Didn't stop me from enjoying my games. DEI and the likes don't understand this simple concept to leave designers alone and let designers do their job. DEI bossing everyone around telling people how to do their work. That's the real problem. I'm in industrial design. Back in art school, I witnessed artists studying video game character design working their arse off sculpting for 4 years, barely getting any sleep. And these DEI with social justice "degree" who have never ever sculpted anything their entire life, is bossing artists how to do their job. That's where that ugliness came from. It's like letting a gender studies "scholar" be a creative director for a motorcycle design. It's going to look like crap.

Except those words aren't true. China contribute very little to global economy. Of all imports made by China, most aren't for domestic demand, most are components for products to be made in China, which China exports to the world, with biggest market being U.S. and EU. It's U.S. and EU creating job opportunities in China. Let's do this, U.S. and EU will go rely on India, Vietnam, Mexico, Philippines for their "economic contribution", and China can go contribute its economic might to China's best pals Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Russia, and we'll see how things go.

You are still not getting it. I'm talking about flow of money. Not who physically paid what. After raised tariffs, U.S. importer would demand Chinese producers to sell at 30% lower price to cover taxes they have to pay, or they buy from other producers, including competing Chinese producers. Chinese producers who could move their plants to Vietnam fastest, can sell without this pressure. Producers who stay in China will need to sell at 30% lower than usual to compete. Those producers then seek assistance from Chinese government. Chinese government pays because if it does not, those factories either go bankrupt, or move to Mexico, India, Vietnam, which creates large scale unemployment issue. U.S. consumer seeing less than 2% inflation, with no reports of U.S. importers whining about raised tariffs cutting into their margin, are evidence that money collected is from China. Have you not noticed, CCP stopped its "retaliating response" entirely, just to prevent Trump from acting on yet another wave of tariffs?

@user-nz8cc6lb4w
Taiwan has never been part of PRC in the history of planet Earth. What China is doing, would be like after patriots overthrew British government in North America mainland and took the territory, declared founding of United States of Britain, and claim itself the legal inheritor of British Empire, and all former British Empire's territory belong to U.S. of B, including Singapore, India, and Britain itself. It's just dumb. By CCP's logic, Greece should start claiming every territory Alexander the Great conquered, and Mongol should start claiming every territory Genghis Khan conquered, including mainland China. History moves forward, not backwards.

Trump is also not a fan of using executive veto power. So, if Congress is going to pass it, and I hope it does, Trump isn't going to veto it. What I meant was, Trump won't actively push for actions to pick a side in this matter. See, for Trump and Trump supporters, it is each nation's citizens' responsibility to keep their government in check, or to overthrow tyranny, not U.S.'s responsibility. However, if it's international peace keeping like CCP's aggression to invade Taiwan in an effort to expand claim on South China Sea, then, U.S. will intervene, but regional governments would have to pay for U.S.'s expenses in regional peace keeping efforts. U.S. had been doing it for free.

@chipsnmydip
What happened immediately after U.S. started withdrawing from Afghan? Chinese BRI engineers in that region got bombed, Taliban then announced it will use all resources it has to protect China's BRI investments in the region, China understood Taliban's extortion and sent Taliban a big check. Afghan is China's problem now. I hope U.S. withdraw all troops from regions which made BRI deals with China. Also, keep in mind Afghan mess was created by former Soviet Union. My point is, how do you suppose components are shipped from Japan to China, and then assembled into products in China to be shipped to California, earning $$$$ for China? Safe seas. You think pirates are a thing of the past? How about from now on, we all decouple. We do import export only with U.S. allies, and cargo ships holding China's interests are no longer our concern. If U.S. Navy sees pirates taking cargo ships, and identify it to be China's, we'll just give China a phone call and say, "Dude, you're being robbed, send someone". Japan's Navy isn't bumping Philippines' fishing ships, Japan fishing fleets aren't bumping Philippines' ocean patrol. That's what China is doing, and proud of it. That's imperialism, romanticizing conquers of other's territories. There is a reason U.S.'s military presence is welcomes in the region while China's military activities in the region is annoying everyone.

So, it is saying Chinese save every penny to own homes. But again, there's still a limit, even if Chinese are willing to eat instant noodles for every meal, there's a limit to how much of income can be saved, that's 100% income. No matter how much can be saved, it can't exceed 100% of income.
Okay, so houses are bought with previously sold houses which were from previously sold houses which originated from Chinese government giving previous generation of parents to buy on the cheap. That still doesn't say anything. Getting free money from parents doesn't guarantee future influx of money at X% growth. Just because current Apple shareholders enjoy the massive cash stashed that wasn't earned during their time, does not means it guaranteed Apple will keep growing at 15% annually.
Let's take 50% down payment, 2.5% mortgage interests on 50% is still 1.25% of property value, how much is renting? Use that 50% or 70% downpayment to invest in a Chinese government run Goliath communication business giving out 4% dividend, use 1/4 of dividends to pay rent. You'd be growing wealth debt free instead of owing debt.
Having welfare and socialism isn't being immune to economic downturn. Healthcare and other services aren't free, even if they are provided for free, it's still paid for by tax earned through income. So, during economic downturn, tax paid to government tanks, all free social services costs the same, if not more, due to more people relying on welfare, how is that safe? It only "feels" safe. "Feeling" safe and "feeling" rich are very different from being safe and being rich.
The bottom line is how much debt is in real estates? That includes developers' loans to run their businesses. So, even if Chinese buyers aren't greedy, developers being greedy and irresponsible to the value of properties they built is still a huge problem. It's highly unlikely these developers are running business with their own personal money. Areas with deteriorating houses, and ghost cities, someone, some entity lost money. It doesn't matter if it's buyers losing their life savings, developers that get sued and lost, or banks that take the loss, that money HAS TO come from somewhere. Even if all losses is covered for by the Chinese government, it's still tax payers' money which is from income.

I read your reply, and read the article, and read the reviews of that book written by the author of that article. Before responding. Because I'm always very intrigued by things I don't get.
I didn't say Chinese are paying off mortgages by eating instant noodle, my point was, it doesn't matter if Chinese are saving X% of income on average. The maximum Chinese people, or any people, can save is still 100% of their income, and no more than 100%. No matter how hard Chinese work and save, there is still a cap, even if they can survive on air alone. So, real estate growth still need to be matched by income growth. Because, beyond that cap, where is the money going to come from?
You are all over the place. Overseas travel spending isn't money that's going to help inject into China's real estate, or China's economy.
Okay, so many young people you know own many properties with no mortgage debt. And we've also established that real estate in China is ridiculously high. Higher than Palo Alto, California where it has the world most multi-millionaires still working 9 to 5. Again, where did those money come from? If we also established local income can't pay for real estates going prices?
Most owners buy it outright, with what? With income? Or by selling real estate owned by their parents? Okay, so who bought their parent's real estate and where did those money come from? It still has to come from income of current generation, as old money is already in real estate. Current real estate has a lot of parents money being injected into it. But, now, those money are already invested in real estate, so any growth has to come from elsewhere, from people's future income, not inheritance.
A real estate sitting there not earning rent is still losing money due to inflation.
Growth is only part of it. It is sustainable growth? The keyword being 'sustainable'. So, China's median income rose X% annually forth past Y years. Well, did real estate grew at the same pace or far outpacing that?
Rights to healthcare, rights to have this and that, doesn't mean it's provided for by money falling off China's trees. It's still paid for by tax payers money. Money has to come from somewhere. It isn't some rights, it's basically legal enforcement to force young people with income to pay for retired aging population's or unemployed's healthcare, via taxing those with income.
China still owns $2.1 trillion of American debt, and ...? Is Chinese government going to collect that debt to help Chinese people buy properties when real estate rise beyond their income power or in an event of loss sales in real estate, compensate for their losses? Those, can be sold to other countries to depreciate U.S. dollars with malice, which may temporarily mess up U.S. economy, but ironically, will harm China's competitive edge against U.S. Chinese government isn't going to cash it out just to give it back to the people who helped earn it.
I didn't say China is poor. I also think Taipei's real estate is ridiculous, that it's bound for a major correction. That doesn't mean I think people in Taipei are poor, it's just that looking at the numbers, it simply doesn't add up.
You keep saying Amercia's problem is greed, while Chinese are investing with real money. So how did America end up with cities in Silicone Valley having 3x the income of Chinese big cities while that very city's real estate costing 1/4 of of Chinese big cities?

Persuasive Barrier
"The same with MRAs and feminism... get rid of that, and MRAs can finally live normal lives!"
Feminists movement made domestic violence a male oppression issue. Feminist dogma that family laws are based on states father is unnecessary in a family unit. Both of which are not true. It does no good to family unit. So why not get rid of it?
Feminist movement invented rape culture, which even RAINN states caused huge problem and requested White House to do an overhaul. Feminists made rape in campus an administrative issue to get funding. College boys are denied of right to legal council if accused. At the same time, feminists claim our society is quick to "victim blame" when it is the reverse. That only deters victims from reporting. It does no good for both victims and accused. So why not get rid of it?
The equivalent of men behaving like feminists, is not MRA, it will be men saying, "It's women acting like toxic women that you were not allowed to vote. It's women not being strong as men that you get raped. It's women's gold-digging culture that 70% of divorce is filed by women. So, just stop acting like toxic women and let us tell you how to be proper human beings, and all your problems and our problems, and everyone's problems will go away." So, no, it is not the same. No men say such idiotic nonsense.

Chinese market does not exists for foreign world since CCP locks it up. Facebook, Google, Microsoft, MasterCard, VISA, etc, etc, are all denied. Other companies like Apple, Motorola, Uber, Amazon, etc, all get cloned with Chinese version competitor. In any case, foreign companies can still have their products made in Vietnam, India, Mexico, whatever, and export to China. Apple already demanded Foxconn move at least 1/3 of its production out of China. Samsung already moved all of its production out of China. Japan's government has offered to pay all costs for Japanese companies to move out of China. And that's even before CCP turning HK into China. Plus, the biggest consumer market is U.S., not China. U.S.-China trade is China having astronomical surplus.

What am I saying? Phil Schiller leaving Apple and founding People's Apple, does not mean whatever Apple was, is, and all that Steve Jobs had owned in his lifetime including PIXAR belongs to Phil Schillar's new People's Apple. Just because Phil copied the name. Also, time moves forward. By PRC's own "logic", mainland China belongs to Mongol, Greece get to claim whatever Alexander the Great conquered, Singapore and India are part of UK, and island of UK belongs to U.S., which also means India, UK, and Singapore belong to U.S. Nonsense. PRC has claim only on whatever it successfully robbed. If PRC wants Taiwan, come and rob it.

Oh, too confusing? Okay, here's a simplified version. You think just because "some" ended up with debt, it means it's human trafficking? Here's a thought: Disney wants to cut costs. I'm the middleman recruiting kids with some art tendencies from India. I have to train them, which costs me, but I pay for costs upfront and get back when those kids get paid by Disney for their work. Some get a lot of work, some didn't make the cut and owe me student loans. It's unethical because those who benefit from it most are Disney shareholders who didn't contribute. Q1. Unethical, but is that human trafficking? Q2. And if India already provide free art education that I charge, and opportunities as great as Disney offer, would my business exist?
So, it is how it is until economics change.
Secondly. Those Eastern European women have brothers, male cousins. Their male peers don't have this modeling option. How do those men make a living? Those women have the agency to choose.
2
-
Like I said, if you are expected to bring in the skills yourself, you still need to take classes. Ugh. what if they go to modeling class in Ukraine, then gets picked up by agencies, can't find work, went home and owe student loans in Ukraine? Same difference. What does this even have to do with prostitution? Because it's young women? Replace modeling with 'being a translator' and replace young women with 'men'. Entire story stays the same, some made it, some end up in debt. Still human trafficking?
These women can go home whenever they want. They can go to the police whenever they want. They can have their families go visit them whenever they want. Did those two abducted Venezuelan teens get to go home whenever they want? Were they free to go to the police? Were any models in this report being sold to brothels? Any?
Again. Not all are in debt. Some. There are many, many, many Eastern Europeans who started out that way who found so much success in Asia that they have their own TV shows not related to fashion, like travel shows, food shows, whatever. They get paid like local celebs for local ads. Because those models adapt their culture, learn their language, have great work ethics and work well with others, have a plan beyond just modeling. It's the same with any job. Some gets to the top, some get chewed up.
You did see a brief moment where a manger was upset because he was expecting models to come and work but no one showed up. Could be translation issues, could be someone at agency playing office politics, but getting justifiably or unfairly blacklisted for future work is far from being sold as prostitutes or slaves.
Chinese experiencing extreme poverty 70 years ago were shipped to Singapore exactly the way you described, owing their boss, most Indians, their faire which they had to work off. All later found success and started their own business upon learning whatever trade they learned.
Again, they don't have to do modeling. They can go and work labor like their male peers. There is a reason they flock at the chance. It is because they have heard stories of financial success of those who had gone before them.

@davidwong5197
Our consultation? So, China's President is Tsai Ing-Wen. Right? I mean, if Taiwan is part of RoC, and we are just going to say that's "China", then RoC‘s President is China's President. Which means, people of China can't vote for their own president and people of Taiwan get to vote one for them. See how we can play this game by deliberately refusing to separate RoC from PRC as two different entities? Under RoC's constitution, Taiwan is part of RoC which mainland is also a part of, based on the PREMISE that CCP is a gang of thugs occupying mainland illegally. So, if you can convince CCP to go away and give mainland back to RoC, then, Taiwan will be part of THAT China, RoC. But that's not gonna happen is it? Which is why we are working on eventually updating our constitution to legitimise CCP and PRC. See how nice we Taiwanese are? Resolving the grudge CCP and RoC had decades ago which we had nothing to do with? Funny thing is, CCP doesn't want us to legitimise founding of PRC. And nowhere in our constitution does it say Taiwan is part of PRC. RoC ≠ PRC.

Huawei, China's pride. Runs on what? Android by Google, processor by Qualcomm which is fabricated by TSMC. TSMC, Taiwan's pride, but who designed those chips? U.S. companies. China's role in supply chain can be replaced, by splitting those up to India, Vietnam, Mexico, wherever. U.S.'s role and Taiwan's role can't be replaced, that is, China can't ask Iran to set up factories in China to replace Taiwan's factories and then sell those products to North Korea instead of United States.

Keep check of China's trade practices and CCP infiltration. Oh, China is invading. Just not militarily. It's all infiltration. Propaganda machine through "Confucius Institute" within U.S. borders, funding Australian politicians to favour CCP's aggression in South China Sea, etc, etc. Do you consider Russian paid trolls being a political party celebrating Russia's national day to preach Russia taking over China, in the heart of Beijing, as an invasion? Well, CCP is doing exactly that, in Taiwan. Because, nowadays, buying politicians to surrender to CCP's aggression is just pocket change when compared to cost of physical wars. But if China has U.S.'s military might and economy, CCP certainly would be invading through military force.

@johnromberg
People can definitely experience healthy. I don't look after my health at all. But when I do, like exercise and watch my diet for months, the difference is night and day. I sleep better, sleep less, and don't feel tired when awake. Stairs and cycling that would exhaust me, become a breeze. My borderline health issues would drop drastically to normal. When I stop looking after my health, it goes back to me not being able to sleep, sleep longer, and feel tired all day, and my doctor starts nagging on risks I'll have if I don't take actions. I know there are people who may look way more unhealthier than me but actually are healthier than me. BUT. For that very same person, he/she can still become healthier and feel it, or deteriorate in health and feel it.

Apple does not own any factories in China. What got China to where it is today was Taiwan moving its manufacturing tech to China to earn U.S. dollars. And those companies can replicate it in other countries. Yes, people in Mexico, India and Vietnam don’t have disposable income now, but that was also true when Taiwan first moved manufacturing to China. Once those factories in Mexico, India, and Vietnam start running and paying their employees, those workers will have income to spend on local businesses and services, and those local businesses and services will in turn hire more people, and they all start to have disposable income. Just like what happened with China. Also U.S. companies wanted their products made in China because the west made China a sweet sweet deal where exporting from China into western nations will be free of import tax. That’s not going to be true very soon. Decades ago, the west wanted China’s economy to grow so Chinese population will have money to buy their products, a win-win, it’s not so Chinese government will have money to fund military threats against the west. Imposing import tax on China, coupled with China shutting down factories for zero Covid, will make companies move manufacturing out of China.

Seasonal Influenza deaths in U.S.:
2016/2017: 29,000~61,000
2017/2018: 46,000~95,000
2018/2019: 26,000~52,000
So, 26,000~52,000 deaths last season is not out of ordinary, and preliminary estimate of 2019/2020 season of 22,000~55,000 deaths is not out of ordinary. Did any U.S. medical staff died from treating influenza patients so far? Like those treating patients infected with Wuhan Virus?

@wm4934
NATO is for European and USSR/Russia affairs. So if USSR/Russia attacks one member, all respond. It has nothing to with China. Indo Pacific has its own joint military exercises, but nothing like NATO. So far there's only agreement between U.S. and Japan. So if U.S. troops were attacked in South Seas or Pacific region, it is equivalent to Japan being attacked and Japan has to respond militarily, and if Japan is attacked, it's equivalent to U.S. troops in Asia being attacked, and U.S. has to respond militarily. Something like NATO for Asia-Pacific will eventually happen due to threats from China. So something like if China attacks Australia, then, India, Japan, U.S, Taiwan, all have to respond. Also, RoC's civil war ended in 1949. It's either RoC's civil war ended with Mao successfully splitting RoC into PRC and RoC, or RoC's civil war hasn't end so PRC is still illegitimate. Pick one.

Aesthetics. How natural light interacts with living space. I always wanted a house which any face that didn’t need a wall, is just floor to ceiling glass, with a terrace that’s twice as big as living room space. This isn’t a house but it’s exactly that and more. Usually, buildings are pillars positioned in grid, and walls are built in that grid. For this building I’m now in, walls are like cards positioned and stacked in such a way it forms the building, so they serve the purpose of pillars and there are no pillars. And therefore no blocks protruding from walls. Most such complex also have every unit almost identical. For this complex, every unit is unique. My second outdoor space is a secluded terrace surrounded by walls while other units have another terrace with view or a garden. My living room has wide stretch of glass facing out and side is also glass, which gives it like a wrap-around panoramic view. Other units don’t have this wrap-around view but they have their own draw. I am a very boring person, I enjoy being at home, so living space matters. Other units’ owners probably don’t care, and are just filthy rich. They bought theirs to use like 3 days a year. I know because trash area has only my trash, with rare occasions of 3 days of trash that isn’t mine. Never seen other owners here.

I get it already, you think being closer to the undesired side is more accurate a representation than being not as close on the more desired side. I get it. That's just wrong. Yes, it's people who vote. If we let only people of Kaohsiung vote, what would we get? No, no, no, and no. If we let only people of Taipei vote, what would we get? Yes, yes, yes, and yes. What outcome did we have? No, no, no and no. And your conclusion is it's more skewed in Kaohsiung?

I meant we all already know about CCP's infiltration tactics. But he did blow cover of a couple in Taiwan and it had been very interesting couple of days.
- The couple, 向心、龔青 he claimed he worked for was arrested in Taiwan. They denied knowing him but was shown photos of them working together.
- The couple's business is connected to PLA funded organizations, and the couple themselves are connected to 葉選寧 and 聶榮臻家族(family responsible for starting China's nuclear weapons research )
- Several companies affiliated with the couple's company ended their business immediately, and those still running had their CEOs resigning, in an attempt to cut off communication flow. All happening before any investigation even started.
- The couple bought an estate for US$8million in cash in 2017, leased it to a young non-local asian for only US$7k a month.
- That guy, in turn runs a business of buying online ads for clients which had no clients and no income for 10 years until Taiwan's 2018 election started, when he started raking in millions in revenue.
- Supposedly, in coming days, ASIO and Taiwan's National Security will release a few names of Taiwan's politicians already in CCP's pocket.
So, a lot of interesting stuff.

Jobs was stubbornly wrong on several key decisions that led to Apple's success and had to be convinced. He isn't as tyrant or "always right" as people think he is. It's just that when he has a clear vision, he knows he's right. And has the quality to make Apple believe if they work on it, they can make it happen. Which, is the same for those in Apple who risked losing their jobs by confronting him on ideas he rejected, but they believe is right.
Yes, Jobs made AT&T changed their entire data collection infrastructure so we don't have to listen to messages in chronological order. But Jobs was also the one who didn't believe Apple had the capacity to build App Store for Apple's phones, and felt it could be a major distraction of valuable resources. Jobs also wanted all Apple products be made in U.S. with strict monitoring over manufacturing tech ownership. It was Tim Cook who convinced Jobs to forgo all that, be partners with suppliers in engineering efforts, in exchange for speedier delivery of innovation to the masses.
Apple is doing just fine. They are still following one philosophy Jobs held against Apple shareholders. No cheap, slow phones for the sake of market share because those phones will create bad experiences as apps gets more and more complex.
Tim Cooks' biggest Apple product that no other tech company is offering is: privacy. It is so well implemented, it's just pure genius.

Has NATO ever threatened to invade Russia? NATO is a DEFENSE alliance, where if you attack one, all respond. If NATO wanted war with Russia, now would be the perfect opportunity, using this invasion as a "justification". But what is NATO doing now? Avoiding conflict with Russia to prevent war with Russia. So who is the trouble maker? This war pretty much proved why Ukraine needs to be with NATO. Does it not? Don't invade any NATO country = nothing happens. Bottom line: If Putin didn't invade, Ukraine will be fine today, and Russians would be fine today. As for your analogy, that "intruder" never came to my home, never expressed any intent to, but I'm already taking your entire family and burning down your house. And you're not going to question, maybe it's just an excuse for me to take your home?

@godessworshipper4663
So, is South Korea and Germany hiding anything just because they don't have lockdown? He said, he would have seperated the heathy, the potential hosts, and the confirm infected, to be in non-intersecting spaces. How can identifying truth of the situation achieved by hiding the truth? Even if 1/3 of the population are potential risks, they all stay home until they show no symptoms for two weeks. Only 2/3 gets to go out. Infected stays in hospitals. That can only be achieved by making the truth clearer and clearer. Explain to me what locking down healthy, suspected, infected, altogether and then lifting lockdown for all them to be mixed later does. 14 days is only incubation period, not recovery time span.

Current situation, different sentiments, and where those sentiments came from is very complex, but if you are talking geopolitics, it's very simple. It's like after patriots took North America mainland from British government, they founded the country as United States of Britain. And then claim all former territories of British Empire, Singapore, India, all of it, including British islands itself, belong to U.S. of B which is the new British Empire. Despite they never governed or even step foot on any of those territories. And the world let them.

Oh, you are one of those. Arguing for arguing's sake. 2+2=4, is math. Satisfied?
Fact. Domestic violence is a learnt behavioral pattern where 40% of victim are men. Fact. Domestic violence was turned to be violent male behavior to oppress women, by feminist movement. Fact. Kids with fathers see far less domestic violence. Those are hard science over decades of studies. Not opinions being contrary to others' opinions.
Harriet Harmon's position on family, is: "It cannot be assumed that men are bound to be an asset to family life or that the presence of fathers in families is necessarily a means to social cohesion". That, is a fact.
Stating facts, so disinformation, misconceptions, and b.s. do not go unchallenged, is not providing contrary opinions. Ugh.
Saying MGTOW won't be MGTOW if they learn how to deal with relationships is just stupid preaching. It is as stupid as telling women in war torn region that if they treat their husbands right, then they won't be beaten to death, because, just look at other wives still alive and breathing. See the difference?
As for YouTube comments, I would say 90% of them are for lolz. The best lolz get the highest votes.

Like I said, you are just arguing for arguing's sake. All shelters that do except both men and women, ( not many, due to lack of funding, as opposed to under the umbrella of WAVA ), confirm to Erin's efforts. That's four decades worth of studies. You can study for another four decades and it will be the same.
If you ask scientists, they will tell you the same. They know. What most scientists and the general public do not know, is that legislations pushed into family court were ( and still are ) largely based on politics making that into an issue of male oppression of women through violence ( which is false ). Scientist were not the ones working on legislations of family law, feminist movement was.
Just go through the history of what happened yourself. Harriet Harmon's view of role of father, was also not a "tendency". When feminist movement hijacked Erin Pizzey's efforts, there were men in refuge, but victimized men didn't fit their narrative of oppressive men, so those need to go. There were active efforts to block fundings to shelters for men to keep that narrative intact. Those were not "tendencies". Those were facts that happened.

For the billionth time. Please go and tell women in Afghan that they are doing just fine because despite that their husbands can mutilate them and get away with it, not all married women suffer that fate. If they worry, they should shut up and grow up, and look at how other wives never go through that.
Ugh. If the family court works, does it matter how vindictive the ex is? It would not matter at all, would it?
Stop with your holier-than-thou assumptions. Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions.
If you care so much about marriage, go and bark at those who initiated divorce, 70% by women, 90% by women for college educated couples. You are not even curious why there's such ridiculous tilt? It's almost monopoly in the business of divorce. MGTOW should boycott what is going on until this gets fixed.
If you believe in healthy marriage and healthy family for future generations, you should endorse MGTOW. If you can not see why that is, you have no clue what is going on.

Hey, let me introduce you to someone who is bitter and don't know how to grow up:
"7 years ago I was a happy loving father with 2 daughters a nice house and a good job. Now after 7 years of living hell, I am broke, lost my house, children, real estate, life's savings and 70% of my income. I have been accused of being a threat to myself and other. Arrested, banned from my house, taken against my will to a psychiatric hospital, and denied access to my children. What have I done, I married a woman who knew how to use the divorce system. Taken into Custody is the first real expose of the greatest injustice in our society. Guilty until proven innocent, insulted, threatened, falsely imprisoned, impoverished I suffered alone and confused. How can this be happening? It can and does happen. The war against fathers is real. Thank you Dr Baskerville, for the truth. We can't let this go on, I don't worry about myself anymore, I worry about my children."

You see it as one sided. We don't. There is only one side, and that, is the truth.
What feminist see, is imaginary made up b.s. Why waste time looking at it? When a young man wanted to understand why two of his friends committed suicide, what side did feminist offer? "Have you considered it is because men are toxic, and the guy trying to help you is just a rape-apologist?" So, he should look at that side?
If MRAs would listen to me, I would recommend them to not bother wasting time talking to feminists. All feminists do, is say, "Stop being how toxic men are, act like how we tell you to, and all problems in the world will go away." What is the point? That is like saying, women should stop acting like women are, and rape will go away. Would you want to listen to "that side"?
Karen wants to speak. What's the problem? Speaking, and expanding audience, is important.
Again, Paul is not talking about imagery stuff like women play video games to get a kick of their fantasy of killing men. Which then results in vindictive women in divorce courts. You know, what Anita does.
When dads cry foul for being treated worse than criminals in family courts. Anyone cares? Nope. It's "male tears" feminists drink up to pride themselves of having no empathy. Karen speaks, other men speak, now, more men are aware of what's going on, and MGTOW is a response. Hey, now people are paying attention. Tell me, why is that a bad thing?
Why is feminist movement a concern? Who knowingly turned domestic violence into a narrative of male oppressing women through violence? And inject that b.s. into family court? Who is blocking fundings to shelters that also accept men, to keep that false narrative intact? Who took the serious crime of rape, and make it a campus administrative issue? Who denied college boys of legal council if they are accused of rape? Who is funding all those efforts to ensure these nonsense become reality?
I can't believe you are talking about making money off drama. Are you trolling or are you blind?

Persuasive Barrier
You simply refuse to look up history, and reality of cases.
Dads are denied of their kids not because the court thinks moms should be the primary caregivers. Court would prefer shared custody and parents work it out themselves like adults. It's because moms are lying about potential abuse if under the care of dads. Why? Because if she claimed that, everything goes her way. Everything. It's over for the guy. And the court has a huge bias to never question moms words. There is no due process. Where did that power come from?
Here is a customer review of a book
"7 years ago I was a happy loving father with 2 daughters a nice house and a good job. Now after 7 years of living hell, I am broke, lost my house, children, real estate, life's savings and 70% of my income. I have been accused of being a threat to myself and others. Arrested, banned from my house, taken against my will to a psychiatric hospital, and denied access to my children. What have I done, I married a woman who knew how to use the divorce system. Taken into Custody is the first real expose of the greatest injustice in our society.

Thank you Dr Baskerville, for the truth. We can't let this go on, I don't worry about myself anymore, I worry about my children."
I have heard similar stories. It has nothing to do with religion. But everything to do with the dogma that all men are potential violent threats and all women can do no wrong. That, did not come from religion.
New law coming this year, kids will be allowed to speak in court against their dads ( not their moms ). That comes from religion? Do you know how easy it is for lawyers to tell women how to coach their kids?

That's like saying you won't care if America's voting system is just a fraud, and people's voice to elect the president they want us just a hoax, because the democratically elected the president one is not unlikeable TO YOU anyways,
You need to step out of "Trump or not Trump", "Impeach or not impeach" and really see what's going on. What if, your kids, your grandkids cast their votes, gave 100% support who they voted and won, but other people see no wrong in dishonoring their votes ( impeach with no cause ). You think that's okay? That's a violation of constitution. A huge one.
Bottom line. Does the result of election, which is the voice of people, carry any value and weight? Impeach with due process = yes. Impeach due to feelz of some people = no.

That wasn't my point. Let's say some woman was accused of being a witch, some group start calling for her to be hanged without any evidence, and people say, "I would have think it's wrong if she weren't so unlikable.." Basically, no sense that a sentiment like that threatens the validity of a trial. It doesn't matter if he's likable or not. Election results need to have weight and value to honor all who voted. Even if I were anti-X, ( president elect, tax issues, gay rights, property rights, whatever ) I would fight to make sure you have your rights to X whom you voted and won. Because once that right is of no value, it is gone for all future generations.

Americans did not elect Trump to serve the free world. Americans elected Trump to serve Americans. But let's get to the meat of the question. If Trump had stayed in the deal, halting US production of coal, that means, you will become vegan, carpool to work, and consume less? No. Consumption of coal energy stays the same tomorrow. So, where are you going to get energy that's to be from coal if US stops? From clean energy? No, from China and India, as they are allowed to double their production in this deal. If you were Planet Earth, and people need coal, would you rather US produce it or China, considering US has tons of pollution regulations and China has none?
This deal isn't about the planet. There's an endgame here but it's got shit to do with environment. It's part of the plan of one world government, via communism on global scale.

It is not which feminist groups. You are running in circles assuming this is about individuals subscribing to group identity. It is not.
Let's make it simple, for argument's sake. Let's say there is a regime where it is illegal for a man to pour acid on his girlfriend's face. Now, if the couple gets married, the husband then have every right to do it legally and be heavily rewarded for it. Women then decide to deny marriage, like MGTOW. So what's the problem? Are you going to tell those women if they know how to handle marriage, they won't get their husbands upset enough to throw acid on them? And here is my punchline. Ask dads being denied of their kids, if they would rather take acid on their face. There's your answer.
So, how did we get here? Feminist movement is the root cause of all these, starting in the 70s, and is still getting worse by the year. Just look into it. Which group? Whichever had the financial and political muscle to lobby for legislations.
MGTOW's boycott is a response saying all these nonsense is no longer acceptable. Let's dial it down to less extreme. Consider the joke, "Why is divorce so costly for men? Because it is worth every penny." So if some unlucky soul ended up in a torturous relationship, he has to go broke to break off from being miserable? Can you imagine Afghan women saying, "Why should our nose be chopped off running away from marriage? Because it is worth it." Would anyone be okay with that?

Please, tell me what rights women in U.S. do not have. Enlighten me.
The rejection rate for leadership, for women, is 5%, for homosexuals, it is some 30+%, for atheists, it is 40+%. Look it up. Why does this matter? Apple is the largest company on this planet, far exceeding Exxon. Its market cap is bigger than the economy of Russia. Who's leading Apple? Tim Cook. He is gay. No one cares. Tim Cook, for being in a category supposedly 6X rejection rate than being a woman when it comes to public opinion of leadership, has zero problem leading the biggest company of the world, zero problem. Where do you think women stand?
Tell me what rights women in U.S. do not have? And by the way, all these "women are oppressed" only deter young women to go far. Because you are telling young women sky is not the limit, space is not the limit, that their limit is set by some invisible oppressor.
And you are telling me it's impossible for people to fight for rights of women in war torn regime, while allowing men to acknowledge there's a problem in family court in US, UK, Canada? No one ever asked you to help with men's issues. Go fight for women's right where it is needed.
Just don't assume MGTOW is just a bunch of people who do not understand relationships who are beneath you. Or support for male victims of domestic violence do not exist because it's men mocking men. I simply hate these idiotic rhetoric go unchecked. There are hard FACTS of how those two things happened.
It is very clear you are just some hardcore feminist that when I simply point out historical facts, and you refuse to look at it and just go on full assault. Were you heading the feminist movement in the 70s? Were you involved in lobbying to push legislations into family law? So why are you taking this so personally?

"We need to work TOGETHER to solve problems"
That's very cute and all but I would highly advice MRAs distance themselves from feminist groups. I have no clue why some of them bothered to communicate with feminists. Here is how feminist think all the problem in the world are solved: men should stop being so vile to women, so toxic to themselves, and problems will go away.
Listen to yourself. I just gave you facts on what happened to Erin Pizzey's domestic violence programs that were working beautifully, for women, men, and kids. Instead of looking deeper, which you will learn, in her program, men in her refuge became great mentors to kids who had previously only seen violent men, men in her refuge taught women who to be independent in doing fixer upper of a house, men in her refuge made toy sets for kids. Now, men like those are probably just stuck in depression thinking about suicides with no place to go. And you should wonder why, and dig deeper. But what was your knee-jerk response? Oh, that problem comes from d-bags mocking men. When we solved this problem 40 freakin' years ago. But that solution was dumped, for political reasons.
I am going to say this again. The way to solve problems is to look at facts, truth, and science.

China don't own those tech. Imagine you spend millions on R&D to develop products, you then come to me to mass produce them. Now that I have the capacity and skill to mass produce your tech, I then go to other companies selling my services to them, to make more. That's me stealing your tech, because you took the financial risks in R&D, you took the risks if the market rejects your products, because whether your products succeed or not, you have to pay me. I didn't take any risks, at all. Yet, I'm reaping the benefits off your succeed, by providing you with competitors. That's stealing. Worse than stealing, actually.

I don’t do any Facebook at all. Because that is not how people I know get in touch with each other. One of many example, my dad gave me authority and responsibility to manage his investment portfolio. I still keep him notified out of respect and I’d like my brother to be in on the discussion. My dad, my brother, the broker, all has habit on communicating via same app because all their contacts use that app, and their contacts are on that app because their contacts’ contacts all use that app. What am I suppose to do? What I’m saying is, simpler phones are nice but if the world around me has moved to apps, I don’t have the luxury to insist on using that sweet Jasper Morrison designed simple phone. It may be fine for some, but for most, significant limitation that can cripple communication will be an issue. Not because of phone tech itself, but because of community’s established habits.

@huili3088
Was U.S. founded by Hawaii's government but communist revolted and took over mainland and declared 'People's United States of America', but failed to take Hawaii where U.S. still remains? Does UK need to declare its independence from U.S. just because when U.S took North America mainland, it did not take island if UK? My point was, of the 5,000 years of China's history, Taiwan was never part of that history until Qing Dynasty, which it later fell out of and became part of Japan's colony, and it was a colony of Portugal before Qing. Even after it was given to ROC and civil war broke out in China, no Taiwanese on the island during that time was involved in that war. None whatsoever. PRC took mainland, and Taiwan became ROC's last refuge. It's either CCP is illegitimate government and PRC is not a country, so we are still stuck in civil war, or the day Mao declared PRC was the day war ended splitting China into PRC and ROC. Pick one.

@G.S.7981
Did Mongolia establish a country from the land that was once PRC? Does that mean Mongolia should inherit the entire PRC? Did Russia take lands from PRC? Does that mean Russia should inherit all of PRC which it hadn't occupy yet? Did United States take land from Britain? Does that mean it should inherit whatever land it hadn't take from Brits yet? My point, is Chinese Communist Party is a con that sells magic stone. It has its sales pitch. It's all b.s. but people just keep parroting, "But listen, that's what that magic stone is and does." When it's all just made up b.s. Repeating nonsense a million times does not make it true. Taiwan was never involved in that civil war as in not one Chinese Communist Party's soldier step foot on Taiwan. Not one. Taiwan now has trade with China, exchange students with China, business partnership with China, etc, etc, does that look like both are at "civil war"? China can take Taiwan, but it has to invade by force, not "inherit". RoC is not interested in "reclaiming" mainland. Just as Japan now is not interested in conquering the world like it did during WWII. Xi PingPingADing can't even book a flight for a weekend vacation in Taiwan, how does that make Taiwan part of China?

No surprise there, Trump hater having no clue on how economics work. When government give tax breaks, it’s to encourage businesses and venture capitalists to take risks, otherwise, they lose money on their own without help but get taxed when they make billions for the economy. And even when they lost money, money didn’t disappear, money can’t disappear, those money still went to engineers, tech, construction, energy, whatever which prevented a lot of unemployment when that business was still running and failing. Without those tax breaks, no one will take high risk ventures. What does that have anything to do with taxing foreign goods that American pay for, which part of those foreign goods' payments get drained from U.S. to be owned by China? Taxing foreign goods also help protect some local goods to be more competitive. It’s like you are just whining and whining about a father doing his best to protect you because you heard some idiot bad mouthing your dad. Ungrateful.

@jonathanmcgranaghan6046
I had seen videos those too. I had also seen Chinese taking selfies. That doesn't mean Chinese had been taking selfies for thousands of years. Those disgusting stuff are more expensive than regular food. It's a niche for people looking to brag on "been there done that". Chinese eat everything, as in, they eat the whole pig. Ears, intestines, livers, trotters, make jello out of its blood, etc, etc. But not bats, rats, cats, dogs, whatever. Those are pretty recent, not thousands of years or even centuries.

@秋末晚菘
Not ROC's constitution again. Under ROC's constitution, Taiwan is a "free region" of ROC, and mainland China is a "region under siege by fraudulent government" also owned by ROC. And PRC does not exist. So, if you can convince Xi to disband his gang and give mainland China back to ROC, then yeah, under those terms, Taiwan is a region of ROC. But that isn't going to happen, is it? Unfortunately, changing that part of constitution to recognize CCP as legitimate government of mainland is a complicated matter. So, if you are going to claim Taiwan is a region of ROC by using Taiwan's constitution, then, you should also recognize mainland China to be part of Taiwan, but temperorily occupied by illegal government, under the same constitution. It's like UK never changed its claim of North America mainland after U.S. of A was founded. But that doesn't make island of UK part of U.S.

@jiawenwu7188
Those two aren't equal. This is what I hate about China, always just using salesmen tricks instead of proper communication. Under ROC's constitution, CCP is illegitimate gang of thugs occupying mainland. So, if you are going to use that as an argument, go and persuade CCP to dissolve itself and hand over mainland to ROC. It's never going to happen, is it? Taiwan also has absolutely no interests in reclaiming mainland. While on PRC side, if one-China exists, then civil war had not ended, and since civil war started before founding of PRC and had not ended, then PRC is illegitimate. The day Mao founded PRC, was the day PRC claimed independence from ROC and split ROC into PRC and ROC ( which the new home of ROC is Taiwan ). It is as simple as that.

@hiyukelavie2396
Those belonged to RoC, then PRC happened. Get it? Brits used to govern North America mainland, so island of UK would have artifacts from that era. Then, U.S. was founded, and Americans are now foreigners to the Brits. RoC used to govern mainland China, so island of RoC would have artifacts from that era. Then, PRC was founded, and PRC citizens are now foreigners to people of RoC. If you don’t think Chinese are foreigners to people of Taiwan, then PRC is illegitimate, if PRC is a legitimate NEW country, then PRC citizens are foreigners to people of Araucanian since 1949.

Nope. China's success is due to
Ignoring WTO rules, like illegal subsidizing
Pegging its currency to USD
Forcing transfer of tech to suppliers
etc, etc
Basically, China's growth was paid for by U.S.
It's got nothing to do with democracy. China's economy was about the same as Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan after civil war. Today, GDP per capita, U.S. $60k, Singapore $54k, Taiwan $26k, China $8k. Imagine if China was a free regime after civil war.
In the history of human civilization, every single totalitarian regime failed. Miserably. China did not somehow defy the laws of economics. Without China, U.S. would have a stronger economy than today. Without U.S., China will be like North Korea today.

Electricity, dams for electric power, lights, telecommunication, satellite, satellite communication, flight, commercial fight, chips, personal computer, internet, smart mobile devices, all came from United States. It is because United States is an authoritarian regime which the government had the foresight to build those things? Or is it because U.S. government didn't interfere with what what people want to do with their lives, let people live however they want, and then people just went and built those things?

@johnnynephrite6147
If you can live till 130, getting COVID at 127 will complicate your health issues, get it? Because if you can live up to 130, your health at 78 would be strong enough to recover from COVID. I already got COVID this May. I took some cough drops, didn’t see a doctor, didn’t take any meds. Fully recovered after a week. My friend was infected by me, same symptoms, recovered in 3 days. He didn’t see a doctor too. My girlfriend was obviously infected, she had no symptoms, she did not believe she was infected even her PCR result was positive. I caught it from my dad. He had no symptoms. But we all had 3 shots of non-China-made vaccines. So, you don’t need to ask me when I am 70+. Whether I live till 79 or 82 doesn’t matter. What matters is I enjoy my life til the day I die. Traveling restrictions bugs me more because I had not been able to go snowboarding and Taiwan has no snow. For me, that’s actually taking a couple of years off my life.

@trihermawan9553
Which is why electric power, dams to generate electric power, manned flight, commercial flight, satellite communications, computers, internet, smart mobile devices, all came from the same disarrayed inefficient country? How about we just decouple and let China trade with more “stable” authoritarian regimes like Iran and North Korea, and see if (A) China makes those countries prosperous, or (B) nations we replace China’s role with, will see its people’s living standards improve like what happened to China?

Those apps are available but in compliance to local laws. Even Google censors search results from China’s IP address and you’d need VPN services to access censored info. Dude, ban was lifted 3pm after market closed. Go and look at Chinese forums in that day, you know, people who have all those apps yet having no clue why stock tanked. But they did try a poll to guess who was “market Thanos” of the day, and they guessed it right, to be Trump, but they didn’t know for what reason until trade closed. It’s all FACTS. CCP force all those apps to have a “parental control mode” controlled by CCP, and if developers refuse or can’t implement technically, CCP will just ban it entirely, like Facebook, LINE, etc.

What do you mean by "show you how"? I'm not a programmer working at Google or Yahoo or MSN. Filters is simply just that, filtering results built into algorithms. It's not done by me, by you, by people sending you messages, or even by Chinese government. All CCP needed to do is declare, "This, this, and this is not permitted, it is ILLEGAL, end of story." And it is tech businesses's responsibility to comply to those laws to make sure their products are LEGAL, in China. It's like this, let's just say Canada bans pork. You can tell me, "But Canada has McDonalds too", but those McDonalds won't have bacon, because it's illegal. Simple as that. Doesn't matter if you can still smuggle bacon into Canada with your privet jet, it won't be available to Canadian public. And it doesn't make any sense to ask me to show you how McDonalds can possibly remove bacon from their burgers in Canada. If they are still in business, they already did. Just do a search of "Tiananmen" using an IP address from China, and have a friend do the exact same search from U.S.'s IP address, both using the same engine, screenshot both, and compare.

1. Bloomberg article and South China Morning Post article were NOT my opinion. I was not the editor who investigated and wrote those pieces. You can go and debate those two editors and their editor in chief who okay-ed them to be published.
2. CCP does not need state media to control information, just as Canada does not need to state-run all farms and gardens to make marijuana illegal. All it needs to do is make marijuana illegal and ALL farms need to comply. CCP can just say "All Bugs Bunny news are banned until further notice", and ALL media would need to remove Bugs Bunny from their search results and news feed. Local laws apply to everyone, it doesn't apply to only state owned products, just as if marijuana is illegal, it's illegal for all farms, not just state owned farms. I'm going to say this one last time. You get different news feed and search results from China's IP address versus US IP address. You keep ASSUMING just because you have access to msn, Yahoo, Bloomberg, you're getting the same stuff as people outside China. No. Servers know where requests are coming from and respond accordingly, to local laws. That is why some people in China use VPN just to access news, which, currently is still illegal.

@johnromberg
Your words: “It’s(healthy is) really difficult to define, what with all of the inevitable death and such.”, “Why would she attempt to define it(healthy) if it's practically impossible.”, “Are you claiming that people can "experience healthy”?”. So, I am saying healthy is not arbitrary, it is definable, measurable, and we can experience healthy. Also, people ARE PAYING for others' health issues. Health insurance companies calculate risks in percentage of population too and adjusts policies accordingly. Medical resources is fixed and limited, so when services can't meet demand, price of medical services go up. Plus, obesity costs the US healthcare system almost $173 billion a year. Just like we don't steal but everything we buy includes costs of retailers' lost from shoplifters, and costs of retailers hiring securities and installing CCTVs.

U.S. healthcare industry is privatized businesses, which means, it won't retain, or even allow assets ( employees ) which don't help in creating more business value. Is Silicone Valley full of Asians because it's just Asians giving more importance to hiring themselves than work ethic? Almost all Filipinos working in foreign land are way, way overqualified for their jobs, may it be Filipinos in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or U.S. Also, under U.S. law, businesses can't hire H1 holders if citizen applicants are available. U.S. has great opportunities that America isn't creating enough skilled workers to supply those demands. It's the reverse for Philippine, that's all.

Fight for the truth
More troops doesn’t mean jack. PRC needs to cross the straits for amphibious landing, secure camps at landing sites while under attack without cover, supply surviving troops with food, water and ammo to push on, move inland to fight ground forces, confiscate all arms in circulation, set up local militant government, arrest resistance, etc, etc. Taiwan just need to hold until PRC gives up. We don’t share a border which allow China to send more and more. For every waves of ships sunk, troop capacity of subsequent waves diminishes. Taiwan isn’t trying to invade China. In this war, China has to overcome huge obstacles which Taiwan need not.

The super wealthy. S&P’s long term average annual return is 10%. If you can get a Lombard Loan at 5%, you can get that extra 5%. However, it’s good to consider it if and only if cost of holding that loan is negligible while gain is worth the hassle. You may be asking, well, it’s 5% cost and 5% gain after cost so that 5% can’t be both significant and insignificant at the same time. Well, if you have an investment portfolio of 20mil, it’s going to fluctuate +/- 2mil, so 500k annual cost of having a 10mil Lombard Loan becomes negligible compared to your net worth’s fluctuation, but you now have an extra 10mil to snowball starting with 1mil first year, which over long term, can add more strength to your portfolio. It’s not worth the hassle if your net worth hasn’t reach that point. I’m approved for 3mil loan but I haven’t borrowed a single cent because at where I am, focusing on what I already have is still better than diverting my focus to what more can I do with what I don’t have.

@ch33psk8
Weeks?
- It takes at least 3 months of bombing to weaken Taiwan’s defense to a point where a successful landing attack is possible.
- We will know a month in advance when PLA is finally ready to make landing, from troop movements
- Your shet-ton of infantry is still limited by your ship capacity to ferry them over
- There are only a few spots where successful landing is possible, so we know where it will happen
- PLA can do it only either in April or October, due to weather and visibility
- We will bomb the hell out of the straits when PLA tries to cross
- For the few that didn’t become fish food, they will have to swim through skin-tearing barb wires while being shot at
- For the miracle few that managed to swim through their dead friends stuck on traps, and made it to shore, they will have push forward in tear gas fog, on a shore full of mines
- Then they need to replenish water, food, ammo, which could have been sunk, or shot down
- Sunk ships can’t be made in a day, downed planes can’t be made in a day
- If by some unknown magic, they managed to establish their presence at landing sites, our tanks are waiting right by the shore for them to approach. While they are still thirsty, hungry, out of ammo, hoping to get replenished.
If it’s easy, China would have tried it already. All the “China can take Taiwan in 48hrs”, “China is invincible”, nonsense are just propaganda. It’s actually going to harm PLA as their morale is going hit rock bottom when reality kicks in right in front of them.

@ch33psk8
Which side would you rather be on?
Offense: Being on a wave of boats getting hit by missiles, and if you were lucky to reach the other side’s shallow waters, you will have to swim in barbed wires tearing your skins and muscles apart, and if you were lucky to be falling behind, you would only rip apart some skins, as you crawl on top of your half alive half dead still drowning friends whose abdominals and face are ripped apart by barbed wires, then upon finally reaching land, you push forward on minefield shore, and if you are lucky, you only get blinding tear gas and some non fatal bullets into you, instead of being blown to pieces like others. All in the name of one China policy.
- or -
Defense: You shoot at intruders blinded by gas on the beach. Because if you don’t kill them all, they are going to burn your house.
Be honest, which side would you rather be on? I thought so. Still think China can easily take Taiwan?

@Shirumoon
That's faking achievement, like David Beckham's wife saying she grew up in working class. I'll try to explain. When I was assessing if I should buy my $2mil vacation home, I knew perfectly well it'd be less of a hassle to just keep my $2mil where they are, in investments, and use annual return from it to book hotels. No cleaning, no maintenance costs, options to travel to more places, don't have to worry about earthquakes or landslides turning my $2mil into debris worth nothing. So, I had to consider, is it really worth my hassle? I am a fan of the architect, its architectural space and site environment is very close to my dream/perfect home, so it is worth my hassle. However, owning a Ferrari, closet full of luxury fashion, or overpriced real estate where I live, is not worth my hassle. I did go through a phase of wanting to live to impress. That was when I had 1.2mil. I planned like I had 3mil and wished I had 10mil. It was stressful. On hindsight, it was also very embarrassing. It was like someone who just learned how to ski without falling and started to see himself a Redbull athlete. So glad I'm past that. Anyways. When you can afford to buy a supercar any day you want, it will no longer be on your priorities of to-do list, and if you keep doing the things you really want, those "lifestyle" will be pushed down your to-do list, and you will eventually forget you could go and buy a supercar. It's not faking anything. If spending 300k a year would make me happier, I would do it in a heartbeat. But it doesn't.

Ended wasting taxpayers' money to fund ISIS and bombing of Syria isn't better? Are you aware U.S. previously got cut out of any ceasefire deal by all parties because Obama failed to keep his end of the deal during ceasefires many times? With Trump? Ceasefire got done so fast while they negotiate other terms to improve conditions.
Illegal crossing from south of the border declined so much that many human trafficking groups went out of business. Simply by enforcing laws that are already there.
Trump stopped U.S. from paying for that Paris Accord. Think about it, just because U.S. reduce production energy that isn't green, does that mean there'll be less consumption? So, global consumptions stays the same. U.S. reduce supply, who is going to fill the hole? China, who is even worse in polluting Earth. It's all a show for politicians to look good and get votes.
Obama's cabinet picks match the leaked list of "suggestions" picked by Citigroup. George Soros who supported and funded Clinton, betting on Clinton to win, SHORTED U.S. economy. George Soros's track records is that every time he has positions in shorts against a country's economy, that country goes into shit, and he makes billions off its collapse. He is considered extremely dangerous by many countries.
Trump is giving America back to the American people. This is one huge turning point for America. You have to start digging into hard research. I disliked Trump all the way after he was elected. But once I talked with Trump supporters, they're like the white rabbit that led me down the rabbit hole. You're going to see truths you didn't see. Do your research. Talk to Trump supporters who are better at communicating than I do. Or, if you can take it, go to the subreddit that's for Trump supporters. But I suggest you start slow.
Obama is great at giving "moving" speeches that sounds really nice but actually says nothing and he then later act on nothing.
Nothing had gone wrong. Stop getting just fake news from CNN. Try give opposing arguments a listen, then pick which one makes more sense and is more credible.

Whatever. You aren't even Taiwanese. No Taiwanese is bothered by Taiwan's friendship with Japan. Only brainwashed wumao. Let's see, alliance with U.S. gives us assistance to home built submarine which is already under way, contract with Lockheed Martin to make Taiwan Indo-pacific countries' F16 repair/upgrade base, Taiwan Assurance Act, continued partnership with U.S.'s tech industries, future 5nm, 3nm chip, information security, A.I. etc, etc. Google and Microsoft are already here. What would alliance with China give us? Absolutely nothing, but our civil rights being taken away like what's going on in Hong Kong right now. In any case, Han and KMT are toast.

So, this isn't a China's Mars mission? Contribution to humanity? Electric power, dams to generate electric power, manned flights, commercial flights, telecommunications, satellite communications, personal computer, internet of information age, silicone chips, mobile smart devices, all came from China or U.S.?

@PlaYer-sn5or
There is no such thing as "re"unification, since Taiwan has never been part of PRC in the history of planet Earth. If China wants to invade, fine, invade, do what you want, but call it what is is, stop being a coward trying to justify an action that is unhljustifyiable. I am going to repeat it again. We don't care about "reunification vs independence", that is a non-issue, we are concerned with only one thing, that our civil rights will be preserved for future children of Taiwan. It doesn't matter if it's KMT or DPP, or U.S., or Japan, or China, or aliens from Mars attempting to take that away, we will fight back. It is not a choice. It is our responsibility.

@codeagent47
Good grief. How many times do I have to explain it. RoC's constitution does not recognize PRC as legitimate country either. RoC's constitution does not recognize CCP as legitimate government of China either. So, "Taiwan is just a territory of RoC" according to RoC's constitution if and ONLY IF you share Jiang Kai Shek's sentiment that PRC is illegitimate and CCP is just a gang of murderous thugs that had entire RoC's mainland territory under siege. In short, the prerequisite for "Taiwan is just a part of RoC" is that Mao's PRC is NOT a legitimate country. So, if that prerequisite is not true, then what follows can't be true. Get it? If mainland is RoC's territory, then of course, Taiwan is just RoC's offshore island. But if PRC is a legitimate country, then Taiwan is RoC and RoC is Taiwan, because territories under Taiwan's control is all that's left of RoC. If you really, really want Taiwan to be just part of RoC, then tell CCP to handover mainland to RoC, and that would make "Taiwan is just part of RoC's territory" true. Taiwan been taken by PRC still won't make "Taiwan is just part of RoC's territory" true, would it?

@allenloe
Taiwan was Japan’s territory between 1895 to 1952, officially. Practically, 1895 to 1945, as Japan left when it surrendered WWII. No one ever denied that. But are we still living in 1895 to 1945? No. It’s 2022, so Taiwan is no longer Japan’s. Taiwan became a home for RoC in exile around 1945. Taiwanese did try to kick out RoC, that was the independence movement which had nothing to do with PRC. Heck, Mao even supported Taiwan’s independence movement as that would help him kill off RoC. Over time, RoC and Taiwanese had worked things out. Now that RoC can be governed by Taiwanese for people of Taiwan, and Taiwanese are okay with making Taiwan a home for RoC, there is no need to establish Taiwan independently from RoC. RoC is Taiwan, Taiwan is RoC. All of which has nothing to do with PRC. Name me the years when Taiwan was PRC’s territory.

@smgchg9581
By the way, 92 consensus was a lie. KMT dude 蘇起 who fabricated it in year 2000 even admitted it. He fabricated it out of fear of DPP cutting ties with PRC after KMT lost executive power. He created a reason for DPP to feel obligated in continuing relationships with PRC which KMT had built. CCP actually blasted 92-consensus to be "a lie from Taiwan" when KMT first introduced it. It was one time when CCP was actually telling the truth and it was Taiwan(KMT) lying. That "consensus" is 一中各表: One China whereby both PRC and RoC can claim to be THE China that owns all. You can see why CCP was furious. Upon being alerted of this 92-consejsus by KMT, President Chen was baffled that there was a cross straits agreement in 92 that no one knew about till 2000. He knew agreements can't be as simple as 4-words slogan like 一中各表, so he assigned an investigation to find out what consensus was reached, which revealed that there was a meeting, but no consensus was ever reached, not even verbally. However, over time, CCP and KMT figured that this '92-consensus' has a nice ring to convince Taiwanese that merging is eventual, so they kept selling it. Then, last year, Xi went and changed 92-consensus' 一中各表 into 一國兩制 in his "letter to people of Taiwan", along with threats of invasion, which now makes it impossible for KMT to cotinue to sell 92 consensus lie to people of Taiwan. On top of that, the lead person tasked to investigate that 1992 meeting and reported to President Chen that it was all b.s., was Tsai Ing-Wen. So, that lie is dead. It isn't going to fool anyone anymore.

LOL. Dude knows nothing but thinks he knows everything. UN was founded in 1945. How the heck can ancient Egypt get UN to recognize its sovereignty? And yes, Japan existed that long. Japan was founded February 11, 660 BC. Point is, countries existed long before there was UN, which means, countries can exist without UN's "recognition". Also, UN doesn't recognize RoC AS THE LEGITIMATE CHINA. But Taiwan is no longer trying to represent China, it's just a clause Chiang Kai Shek stuck RoC with. One China, one Taiwan ( with Taiwan forefeiting its claim as the real China ), is still one China. Funny thing is, when we eventually update our Constitution to recognize PRC as legitimate, PRC will be the first to complain because CCP's lies falls apart.

@khai-yuenloh669
LOL. China put Singapore and Taiwan to shame? Singapore and Taiwan didn't export a virus to the world. Singapore and Taiwan didn't resort to locking up healthy people. It isn't about how many confirmed cases. It's about taking care of infected, effectively monitor potential carriers, and allowing healthy to live free. It's achieved by keeping track of where viruses are.
In any case, Taiwan sent health safety personnels to Wuhan airport to screen boarding passengers for symptoms since 1/5, right after China said, "limited human-to-human transfer". That's long before China's domestic flights started doing it.
So far, all of Taiwan's case, except for a taxi driver, were either infected overseas or infected by previously confirmed. Which means, technically, the virus has not yet reach Taiwan. Obviously, the problem is tens of thousands travellers entering Taiwan everyday. Wait till China lifts its lockdown and its citizens being as active as Taiwanese and Sinaporeans, then we'll see.

@szbxa
U.S. and Russia started dismantling nuclear weapons after cold war, U.S. had 60k+, Russia had 40k+. Both are now down to 6k+, with Russia having a bit more. China has 300+. So, if China wanted its "turn to have ago", build 60k+, then denuclearize back down, hurry up, China is falling way, way, waaaaaayyyyy behind schedule on where the world is heading.

@garrycoleman8537
CCP started 「超限戰」or 'Unrestriced War' long time ago. It's not a trade war. It's war. Just, WAR. This 'trade war' is just a part of it. It's different tactics to weaken target nation without military confrontation, which includes trade manipulation to seize target country's production, making target country incapable of having independent communication infrastructure, controling information that's delivered to masses, pushing international legislative changes to gain power, etc, etc. Want to take a guess where U.S.'s recent opiad crisis came from? CCP thinks democracy, liberty, free trade, law of the land, etc, is a joke because those are vulnerable to multiple means of invisible attacks. They are wrong, very wrong, but we have to prove them wrong via action.

@Junior-zf7yy
You demonstrated perfectly Blinken's comment, "If we let Putin win, then it's open season." Wars were frequent prior to WWI. WWI and WWII was only 20 years apart. Post WWII, we have the longest period of peace in human history. Ever wonder why? We ditched expansionism and imperialism as outdated ideas in favor of rule based international order. With your sort of mentality, if Japan wants Philippines, just take it by force, if Germany wants Denmark, just take it by force. That is, reverting back to pre-WWII mentality. I guess India and Mongol can take China's territories by force if they wish so, because that was how Qing's territories are now united with Russia, yes?

@futureisredcomrades1902
One China, one Taiwan, is still one China. Two China was a dispilute over MAINLAND, as Chiang Kai Shek refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of PRC, resulting in both RoC and PRC claiming to represent MAINLAND China. That is, two China claiming THE SAME land, that is mainland. It had nothing to do with Taiwan. RoC is no longer claiming mainland as part of RoC, so, there is only one China, that is PRC. RoC is Taiwan. That's one China, one Taiwan. Not two China. It's already one China.

@sriracharooster
If I go out and got hit by a bus, of course it's got nothing to do with the government. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about having separate spaces for infected ( in hospital ), potentially infected ( at home ), and healthy ( free). So they don't intersect. Yes, some healthy might end up finding they were infected and then anyone they had close contact with then get moved to 'potentially infected' ( at home ), but at the same time, 'potentially infected' who had no symptoms for every single day for 14-days straight can be considered healthy and free to carry on. Of course, anyone who had any sort of symptoms will get tested, etc, etc. It doesn't paralyze society and different "human hosts" are in separate spaces. Lock down everyone, and then what? Lift lock down later to have healthy ones who were never exposed to the virus to mix with those with strong immune system who are recovering? While any public spaces that could cause community spread are all still unknown?

Oh, yes, just because 10,000 people want to work as nanny, 10,000 families will have new babies for them. Just because 10,000 people want to sell water, 10,000,000 will decide to change their lifestyle and buy from them. Microsoft decided to sell smartphones to the world, what happened? I mean, if Microsoft made that choice, people should be buying phones from Microsoft, right? Right?

Nope. Look at Philippines, bunch of highly trained educators and health care professionals working as housemaid in Singapore. Why? No proper education industry and heath care industry opportunities for those talents in their country. Talents still need investments that need those values talents can provide. If China has better opportunities, they won't have left China in the first place. Plus,

So, U.S. will be the one gaining from not taking those losses. Those Chinese talents could have had great careers, and then contribute their experience in China *WITHOUT* stealing. But no, CCP just has to use those people to play dirty. Why? Because a win-win situation in a free and fair trade, tech collaboration, isn't what CCP wants. CCP wants invisible war to weaken U.S. 2025? Shit is about the hit the fan for China's economy, because no one trusts CCP anymore. Good luck with, "China is the greatest above everyone else". I've checked all official numbers released for the public by China's government regarding China's economy, it's looking really, really bad. Only that very few are putting those scattered data together to paint a grand narrative.

If we look at heath expenditures per capita, U.S. is number 1. Which means, Americans are the ones paying for R&D of innovation in medical services that will eventually become affordable for more. To illustrate it, consider owning smartphones as healthcare services, and government considers it a right. Government then buys from Apple using taxpayer's money and distribute to everyone for free. Under this model, there'll be corrupt officials that's going to steal money in this transaction, and Apple won't be able to sell high end premium models as government would consider those a waste, a luxury. Which would create a tech sector that sees no incentives to pour money into R&D to innovate. And we will be worse off, paying far more than we would now for mediocre phones through our tax paid to government. While a free market will allow the wealthiest to pay for those products and services that most can't afford, but over time, make those products and services available and affordable for everyone.

Yeah, I don't think you'll ever get it. The key is knowing where viruses are. The lower the positives out of tests the more certain you are covering all possible traces, while high positives are indication of spread that had not yet been located. Throughout the whole pandemic, night market here is still as crowded, gyms' aerobic classes are still full, friends still hang outside restaurants waiting for tables. Except for travel businesses being heavily impacted, life here hasn't changed one bit. Yet, there were never incidents of any hospitals going into chaos due to outbreak. So, either we Taiwanese are immune, which is unlikely, or, all possible risks are in quarantine.

PRC is a country. Not a government. Its government is CCP. RoC is a country, not a government. By China's logic, after patriots overthrew British government in mainland North America, United States would inherit all former British Empire territories, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, and inducing island of UK itself. Ridiculous. Mao declared independence and founded PRC. China celebrated its 73th anniversary ( founded 1949 ), NOT 5,000+th anniversary, NOT 300+th anniversary ( from Qing ) and NOT 50+th anniversary ( UN recognition in 1971 )

Even if impossible, it’s not that hard to cut down. Consume less useless stuff. Spend those money on trips to local theaters, museums, resorts, sports events, BBQ with friends, water parks, minimize material consumption. Buy made in Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, whatever if given the option. Wal-Mart can take the hit, it will be fine.

@misterdd7239
This isn't western powers vs asian powers, this is democracy and freedom of the people vs totalitarian ideology. CCP thinks democratic society is a joke as it is vulnerable to various forms of attacks to weaken it. Use free speech to create distrust in free world's leaders, use their "land of law" to commit illegal acts first, and by the time legals system grinds through due process, irreversible damage had been done, etc, etc; while totalitarian state has solid wall of shield against external infiltration. That's what's going on. I'd very much like my democratic society preserved. China, and Chinese tradition, and Chinese literature, will be fine after CCP is long gone. There is no threat to Chinese power. Just look at Chinese in western world, all doing very well.

@Shenzhou.
And U.S. pressured Jiang Jingguo to mentor Taiwanese? America was reluctant to sell Taiwan military arsenal in the old days to prevent KMT from attacking mainland unprovoked, because Jiang Jieshi's plan was to eventually reclaim China when KMT is strong enough. Jiang Jingguo ended Jiang dynasty on his own free will. Geez.
Gawd, that China being 2nd largest economy again. Because you have the largest population. Okay? Is that really that hard to grasp? Taiwan's total population, including rural areas, low income population, is less than Shanghi, has 134% GDP of Shanghi. Per capita: Taiwan USD$25k, U.S. USD$60k, China USD$9.9k. Yeah you have a big population, what does that have anything to do with economy under authoritarian regime?
Yeah, guess who okay'd shifting Taiwan's production to China? Modern KMT who wanted to become part of China. Guess who finally got elected to put in restrictions and helped keep those money in Taiwan to boost our GDP? The party that's for independence. See, that still works under free system. We don't need a totalitarian power monger above the law to accomplish things we can do ourselves. Citizen's total reliance and dependence on absolute power is a dangerous thing. If CCP decided to screw you all over in this CCP-U.S. fight, to maintain their power, you are powerless to do anything about it. Enjoy your "long march" just so your hardship can help CCP keep their powers over you. While Americans are doing it for a brighter future for their kids.

@misterdd7239
I'm not a member of any party. Singapore isn't a one party authoritarian. PAP is still leading Singapore not because PAP silences opposing voices or place dissents in jail to warn others, or indoctrination kids to be loyal to PAP. It's because, so far, Singaporeans given rights to free speech and free press, couldn't show PAP is doing a bad job. Yes, sadly, that isn't the case for Taiwan. But give young Taiwanese time to learn that political leadership is important, they should get involved, and it will get better over time. I highly doubt one party KMT dynasty till today would have been better. I'm not pro America, but definitely pro 'American Constitution'. Many U.S. presidents and American big corps had done stuff that were unconstitutional. Those won't sit well with me. None of the wars Obama got U.S. involved in were legal, so I don't like those. But if Americans stick to rules set by their founding fathers, it's great. Trump is great, in my book. Of course I'm against a totalitarian state constantly issuing threats of hostile takeover of my home when it had never, ever ruled Taiwan for even a minute for the entire history of planet Earth. Doesn't matter if that political group has my skin color. Wrong is wrong.

@Shenzhou.
It's not what I think or my reasoning. It's a fact. When KMT under Jiang Jieshi had plans to reclaim China, U.S. not only limited military arsenal sales to Taiwan but sold only crap. It was after Taiwan shifted to pure defense only with no plans to attack any country, that U.S. started selling Taiwan state of the art military weapons. U.S. didn't use military sales to pressure Taiwan to go this way or that way.
Yes, KMT led by Jiang Jingguo was what propelled Taiwan to a success that it is today. But it was also him who ended KMT's one party dominance, because he had a vision of a better Taiwan governed by the people. How many times do I have to repeat this? If he could rise from his grave, he'd tell you, you are wrong about one party authoritarian being better. Btw, that great president, also never trusted CCP. There is now a divide in Taiwan, but it's not caused by Taiwanese. It's CCP infiltrating into KMT. C'mon. KMT once saw CCP as an enemy to a point of wanting to restart a military war with CCP. They were on the opposite sides of a civil war where each side lost families. And now, all KMT does, every single freakin day, is talk about how great CCP is. We are not dumb. Unlike KMT, DDP never, ever, had plans to go to war with CCP or "reclaim mainland". All DDP wants is for Taiwan to eventually have nothing to do with CCP and be left alone and do our own thing like we always had. Since CCP never ever governed Taiwan and never ever set foot on Taiwan anyways.

@Shenzhou.
Yeah, monarchs lasted a long time. But cavemen system lasted longer, you want to switch to the system that lasted longer? Authoritarianism requires silencing the truth. Once people knows the truth, it collapses. How is that not weak? I don't get how this is hard to grasp.
Greece fell due to invasion of barbarians. So yes, if Canada and Mexico had better military power than U.S. and are barbaric, U.S. is screwed. What's your point? During those times, who had better living standards? Let's just say, for argument's sake, North Korea's system is so strong that it takes over the entire world. So what? Does that mean you have a higher living standard living in that totalitarian state that won? Denmark isn't world's superpower, but do Danish have better living standards or Chinese? What type of life do you want to preserve, a democratic one, or an authoritarian one? If you pick the latter, I really don't know what to say. Also, American Constitution wasn't copied from ancient Greece.

It's everywhere in China because of several things which CCP failed. And compounding all together made it a disaster. Keep in mind this virus is droplet, not airborne:
- China never implemented strict public hygiene. So, a contaminated food service, or any public space, can start infecting several. Whereas for countries with strict public hygiene, after a food service or any public space is contaminated, it gets disinfected shortly after before spreading to others.
- China does not have strong personal hygiene education, so citizens are more likely to pick up viruses in contaminated spaces.
- China covered it up for too long. We now know China reached U.S. for assistance on 1/5 as Wuhan's medical capacity was overloaded.
- 1/18 is probably already really, really bad, and yet, Wuhan held a "Million Family Banquet" where tens of thousands dine and share food together.
- 5 million leaving Wuhan before its lockdown weren't screened at all, those travelers were basically viruses' free ride to other regions.
I understand there are probably many incubators roaming around in Taiwan. And new incubators may still enter. But so far, Taiwan's strategy of keeping tab of those with travel history to China, demanding those with such travel history to wear masks, doubling up workforce in disinfecting public areas one timely basis, tightening up supervising health safety on food services, several measures to minimize traffic inside hospitals while separating routes for those with travel history to China, etc, etc. We also had an overhauled disease control management after lessons from SARS. It 's working well, for now. It's a very different scenario from China.

@vislytoong
China is heading for a disaster. It took me a long time to understand what Taiwan did right and there's just too much to explain. In short, Taiwan separates those healthy, those at risks of being already infected, those infected, to exist in separate distinct spaces such that overlapping of those spaces are absolute minimal.
Our vice president who is an epidemiologist from Johns Hopkins thinks locking down Wuhan was a big mistake. That type of lockdown still lumps everyone who shouldn't be mixed together, to be mixed together. Keep in mind 14-days is just incubation period. Not recovery time. When Hubei eventually lifts its ban, those with strong immune system still fighting off viruses will be mixed with people who had never been infected. Not to mention those who left Wuhan under quarantine in other provinces will be heading out soon.
You may say, well, Taiwan also let people at risks leave quarantine to mix with general public after only 14-days. It's different because Taiwan's public health checks their health status every day. They had no symptoms for *ALL* 14 days. Whereas in China, even those who survived locked down of 48 days, could still be coughing on and off or have had fever. China's health authorities aren't checking.
The fact that you all have to be told whether you are green, orange, or red, and have mobility limited accordingly, goes to show all three groups are still moving in shared spaces until new actions are taken. Meaning, not much was done thus far.

@godessworshipper4663
How can suspected cases cause community spread when they can't even go out? Officially, China claims 50,000 cases in Wuhan. Let's say on 1/23, China only know where 10,000 cases are, and traced their contacts of 200,000 to self quarantine. Let's say by the time it takes to locate undetected 40,000 cases, it spreads to 90,000 cases. That's 120,000 cases. Again, assume every case had put 20 people at risk who need to be self quarantined for health monitoring, that's around 2.5 million quarantined at home, in a population of 11 million. That should be enough to contain it. And all this while, flights with China banned, until curve drops to low risks. How is it going to spread? Now that Wuhan's lockdown is lifted, everyone goes out? All who had mild symptoms had been tested negative? All?

@Richard-tq7xi
PRC was founded prior to 1683??? Qing ≠ PRC.
Q: "When was Taiwan ever part of China?"
Chinese: "Qing"
Q: "But Qing lost lands 30X that of Taiwan to Russia, and Qing named RoC as its successor. So, shouldn't CCP retake lands from Russia and hand over China to RoC, if China was to base off Qing's territorial claims?"
Chinese: "Oh, it was Qing that lost those territories to Russia, it's none of PRC business. And civil war happened. CCP owns China now."
Q: "Qing lost Taiwan to Japan, why is it PRC's business? Since territorial claim of China should base off what's after 1949, when was Taiwan ever part of China after 1949?"
Chinese: "But Qing"
You can not dial history back and forth as you see fit.
- 1911, RoC founded, WITHOUT Taiwan.
- 1920s, Mao started RoC's civil war, which Taiwan was NOT involved.
- 1945, Japanese government started leaving Taiwan just as KMT seek refuge in Taiwan.
- 1949, PRC founded, WITHOUT Taiwan. Mao claimed independence from RoC, splitting RoC into two countries.
- 1951, Japan officially surrendered Taiwan in its SF Treaty with U.S. ( not RoC, not PRC ), naming "people of Taiwan"( not RoC, not PRC ) as its custodian. Effective 1952.

@lynnhollie
Dictionary has a definition for the word attractive. I get that attractiveness is subjective IN REAL LIFE. But in graphic games, characters that look like bad CGI, look unfinished, look like they are sculpted by Costco cashiers, will look unattractive. And that's what characters look like when people from DEI don't leave artists alone to do their job. In real life, some people perceive natural scenery to be pretty, some don't, some people perceive night city to be pretty, some don't, some people perceive ancient cities to be pretty, some don't. But doesn't matter what scenery it is, if it's filmed by Ridley Scott, it's going to look OBJECTIVELY gorgeous in that art form. Let artists do their job.

I am talking in general terms about attractiveness of human form in art medium. Anyone who thinks facial attractiveness in visual form is subjective, take a charcoal and a piece of paper, create the most prettiest face you can think of, take that drawing and ask around what people think of the face in that drawing, it’ll be OBJECTIVELY ugly. I will use another example. Watch that Michael Jackson’s music video which people’s faces morph into others. It looks like magic while other face morph videos look like crap because in MJ’s video, every frame’s face looks normal, while other morphs has frames that look somewhat off. Even at 60 frames a second, if some frames in those 60 frames don’t look natural, we can still catch something is wrong. That’s how sensitive we are to human faces. It’s that “something off about it” that makes those game characters ugly, it has zero to do with those faces “not adhering to male fantasy”. If everyone has an opinion on how Mary of Michelangelo’s Pieta has to look to “represent women”, she will look freaky after being altered as specified by people who don’t know jack about sculpting human face. PS2 era had worse graphic tech and we didn’t have this bad-looking face problem. What do you think happened?

Search ‘former Taiwan president visits China’, Reuters, WSJ, NYTimes, DW, NBC, CNN, Financial Times, NPR, Foreign Policy, Yahoo News, etc, etc, all have reports. China blocking you from reading them doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

Yes, CCP should honor Sino-British Joint Declaration, but that's Sino-British Joint Declaration, not Sino-U.S. Joint Declaration. Britain spoke out, and as usual CCP acted like mafia. It's impossible for U.S. to intervene other than remove HK's SAR status if HK losses its autonomy, which, if CCP wants all the benefits China enjoys from HK's SAR status, would have to keep HK autonomous. It's already in the works and it's highly unlikely Trump will veto it, not for HK, but Trump doesn't act like a dictator, which the same can't be said for Obama.

That's a different issue. Define "same level". Same level isn't same economic and educational level. A young beautiful women can still be way out of a man's league even if that man has far higher education and socio-economic status. A guy in his 20s with no income who take scare of his hair and skin isn't the "same level" as an mirrored female version, because women don't care for those qualities in men. So, a woman close to 40s with good education and financial success isn't the "same level" as mirrored male version of herself.
The "level" we are at, is how desirable we are to our opposites sex in dating market. So, if an average looking successful woman close to 40 is rated undesirable by men, her "same level" would be men rated undesirable by women. We don't see women flaunting their degree and job title on social media to attract men, do we?
So, youthful beautiful young women with no money, good manners and no temper, are on the same level as successful millionaires and billionaires; while aging bossy women with temper, who are successful, are on the same level as unemployed men with bad hygiene.
Women can pick whoever they want. Their female nature will tell them to pick men who are even more successful than them to provide, so they can spend everything they work for, only on themselves. However, that doesn't mean women get to define what level they are at. What level a woman is at, are defined by what men look for in women. Just as what level a man is at, isn't defined by what men value in women, but by what women look for in men.

Really? How does women rate a millionaire businessman who's successful by bullying his competitors into bankruptcy over an honest farmer who doesn't make much ... **as a spouse material**?
This isn't about rating people individually. That's a different issue. This is "matching level". Which means, our level, comes from how our opposite sex perceive us.
My point wasn't about what's more important as a person. My point was, just because men look for X, Y, Z in women, that doesn't women values those qualities in men. So, just because women look for A,B,C in men, doesn't mean men value those qualities in women. So, if we have values that our opposite sex is NOT looking for, it's worthless in "matching level".

Oh, that "media" owned by the biscuits dude who CCP made him richest man in Taiwan by letting him own shopping malls and hospitals in China? Freedom of press didn't die. He wasn't arrested like Jimmy Lai was. His media company was not able to renew broadcasting license. Why? It had been warned and fined several time for violating NCC's guideline for time allocation, and didn't care. See, Taiwan has cultural events, economic news, environmental issues, flood problems, new infrastructures, needs international news, etc, etc., and that channel had 80+% of its time idolizing Han and nothing else. His media business ( basically a CCP mouth piece ) is still in operation. Magazines, newsprints, web channels, all still operating. He just failed to get his broadcasting license renewed because he IGNORED NCC's issued warnings. Btw, that law was there before DPP took office and DPP has no power over NCC. We are not China.

How was China doing before having trade relations with Taiwan and U.S.? Stuck in poverty. China’s boom was Taiwan moving its manufacturing tech to China to help China make money from U.S. Now, why would U.S. and Taiwan do that? The idea was, if China and Taiwan built strong economic ties, political conflicts would be less likely. Unfortunately, it’s become clear that the more economic strength China has, the more thuggish CCP behaves. Look at the entire chain. From innovation to tech manufacturing, to assembly, to consumer purchase, U.S. holds both ends that’s what creates the whole chain, Taiwan holds key roles, while China’s role is replaceable. Vietnam, India, Mexico, are already replacing China as we speak. It was efforts trying to chain China and Taiwan as co-dependent that drained Taiwan. A small island can’t keep moving its manufacturing tech to help China grow. Plus, all Taiwan got in return is just animosity, might as well break off.

Fault isn't on the demand or the supply side. It's in the country's economy. When economics allow average wage to live well, even if the demand is there, the price need to be very high to entice supply, which, in turn, kills the demand due to its costs. Prostitution is more rampant in poorer regions. If it's demand that's creating it, it'd be high disposable income dense male population regions like Silicone Valley that has worst case of prostitution.
Before pointing it at the demand, lets look at the supply. He pointed out easy money and high cost of living, etc. But what about men who can't prostitute themselves like women? How do they get by? So even if there's an economic reason for being part of the supply, there's no justification. As men can do without this venue, why not women? And I'm saying that as a person who believe prostitution should be legalized, for other reasons.

Nope. Look at observable evidence. Prostitution is rampant in regions suffering poverty. Are you telling me the poorer the region, the more likely for couples to have sexless relationships? I didn't say it's the supply side creating the industry. I was saying, if men don't have the option to sell themselves to make ends meet, then, women don't need that option too. Women can do what men do to make ends meet. So, saying it's demand creating it is ridiculous, since the supply side can easily just say no. Easily. Even in regions of poverty, they can do what their brothers do, work hard labor, make 1/30th income. However, the more the poverty, the more its money is enticing to lure the suppliers. The culprit is poverty.
Prostitution is correlated to poverty, or regions where living expenses are too high for median income. It isn't created by supply or demand. In wealthy regions, it'd be extremely hard to find prostitution even if there's a high demand. Because it's very easy for women of wealthy regions to live comfortably without needing to subject to prostitution. It's observable evidence throughout the world.

That reasoning of "$12 million USD, instant wealth, 拆二代" is such obvious bad news. There is no free money. Money has to come from somewhere. Chinese government didn't get the 10 condos from developers for free. Developers didn't do it for free. Chinese government bought those condos with tax payers' money, which is INCOME of the people. So, the value of those real estates still need to match INCOME of the people.
It isn't free wealth, it's forced relocation. Simple as that. The 10 condos they own of 1000 sq meter is living space, not land deed. Land deed is less 80 sq meter. Those many 80 sq meter collected is then sold to developers to develop condos that'll end up with more than 10 condos per 80 sq meter. That's the deal.
You Chinese people jacked it up all the way to 1.2million USD per condo. How is future generation's millions of kids who aren't the only child be able to afford 1.2million condos? And here is how current gen is paying for million dollar price tag. They get 10 condos, they sell to people who also got 10 condos. It's new "free money" that's fueling the real estate. In short, it's a ponzi scheme. Which means, it will work until it doesn't.
Developers don't build for free. Chinese government didn't pay developers 12 million USD for those condos to give it to people with 80 sq meter of land. It doesn't matter how much Chinese government paid for those, money comes from tax, which comes from people's income ability. So, unless Chinese government had previously collected 12 million USD worth of tax from EACH of those families, how does this math even work?
There is no such thing as free money that just appear out of nowhere.

You are still not getting it. It isn’t about free market. Just because it’s government controlled doesn’t mean it can defy the law of mathematics, Money has to come from somewhere. Now you are saying companies help pay for housing, okay, where does that come from? Still income. Company subtracts income to force security of housing. If you stop working for that company, that company stops paying, why? Because there’s no monetary value the company can extract from you. So, EVERYTHING still comes from people’s income level.
If China can give its millions of citizens instant free wealth to the extend if 12 million USD a household, China can solve global poverty.
You are the one not reading my response. Government builds condos with tax, which is part of people’s income, to give some units to people in exchange of land they are sitting on, leaving a few units to be sold to recoup the cost, then, again, spends more tax to build another one to trade for more lands to do the same. Those who were compensated with condos are able to sell their condos to buyers. Tell me, which part of this entire process has money NOT from circulating people’s income? If all money is from circulating people’s income, millions of dollars just magically appear by shuffling the same lot of money around?
Government takes your money to build condos to for you, to force you to move, so they can take another group’s tax to build on the land you were sitting on. And suddenly everyone instantly becomes multi millionaires. I wonder why China is the only country to figure this out.
People can afford the high price tag beyond their income level, because they get free condos built with tax payers money, which, is part of income, and if they can’t afford it, company they work for will help fund it by using part of their income. So, even though housings prices have rose far exceeding what they can save up in a lifetime, they are able to pay for it because they aren’t paying with their income, but paying with their income deducted by their companies and the government. That makes sense? Are Chinese paying 90% tax?

@shengyu6061
Look up all three Taiwan Straits Crisis. It doesn't matter if China has military might. Taiwan isn't trying to invade China, only defending our home. We don't share a border, so for PLA to cross Taiwan Straits for amphibious landing would be a huge challenge. Taiwan can hold PLA at the beach for more than a year *without* assistance from U.S. military. With U.S. pledge to help if CCP invade, it's almost certain there won't be war because the price to pay would be too high for CCP. It'd be far, far, far, cheaper to buy corrupt officials in Taiwan's government, which CCP is doing and had been doing for a long time. We are already at war in a sense, with people of Taiwan trying to remove CCP's agents from our government, and CCP trying to infiltrate Taiwan's political power, media, religious groups, education, everywhere.

I would never expect any foreigners to see me as one of them. Because I am not. Foreigners don't just assume I am Chinese. To foreigners, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, Chinese, Han Singaporean, Han Malaysian, all look alike. So, they usually ask first. Also, all that has nothing to do with decoupling. There would no need to decouple if China is not malicious in trade.

@QuietJugung
LOL. You are so clueless. Firstly, I didn't say air-to-air. I said surface-to-air. Defense and offense aren't the same thing. Remember that legendary U.S. pilot who evaded 6 consecutive SAMs in a row over Iraq? Was that Hollywood fantasy too, that Iraq ( the defensive side ) had SAMs and U.S. ( the defensive side ) had to deal with it? Secondly, SAMs' and AIMs' advantage is SPEED, they are way faster than fighter jets, if a pilot failed to evade, that missile will hit its target, 100%. SAMs' and AIMs' weakness is they do not have fuel for long distance. That's why if a pilot can successfully evade a missile once, that missile is gone. It won't have enough fuel to correct course. Point being, defense's air force has to deal with offensive fighter jets and whatever weapons they carry, while offense has to deal with the same PLUS anti-air defense from the ground.

@rob5896
Apple products are assembled in China, even though most of those factories are owned by Taiwanese firms. Products are "made in China" because WTO, U.S, and EU gave China a sweet sweet deal to export anywhere without import tax. An Apple product made in U.S., Japan, Taiwan, will need to pay a hefty import tax to sell to EU. An Apple product made in EU, will need to pay a hefty import tax to sell to U.S., Japan. The main reason Tesla has a factory in China, is to sell to EU tax free. However, factories had been moving to India, Vietnam, Mexico, etc. Just not moving fast enough. I can't wait till we have finally cut off China. Not only does China sees trade as a zero-sum game, China will weaponize trade relations.
