A country's population size has nothing to do with its wealth or poverty. There is simply no correlation. China is much richer now than it was in the 1960s, when it only had half the population. Some small countries are rich, some are poor. Some large countries are rich, some are poor. The difference between rich and poor depends on how the country is managed, not how many people there are.

@happymelon7129 "European countries that have cut off Russia's affordable oil and gas will find it difficult to repair with Russia". We don't want to repair relations with Russia. It's important you understand that. It's over! We don't want anything to do with Russia anymore.

So you'd prefer if he lied. Or maybe you'd want another analyst who gives a positive view? Better face reality, even when reality is grim.

@achatcueilleur5746 You certainly have a well-developed imagination.

@kaygee1623 How do you measure which manufacturer is better? Is there some official standard? After all, the are lots of companies supplying 5G networks: Altiostar, Cisco Systems, Datang Telecom/Fiberhome, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung, and ZTE.

@CprtFM You don't seem to understand the difference between 'evidence' and 'allegation'.
1
@caspar9794 "many people see them as credible, which is what counts at the end of the day." It may count in the public opinion, but it would never count in a court of law. "people see them as credible" just means that people believe them to be true. Belief is just belief, it has nothing to do with facts, truth, data, or evidence.

@krishN29 "evidence can be false or made up". No, because that would not be evidence. That would be fakery and fraud.
1
@GKRE "Evidence can be fabricated". That's not evidence, but fraud.
1
@RP-qs1tp "who told you evidence are always credible?". Evidence that is not credible is NOT evidence.
1
@hrithiksingh5942 "Not all evidences are credible a.k.a trustworthy". Evidence that is not credible or trustworthy is NOT evidence.

@architsrivastava7217 "educate yourself please." No need. I am correct, the naysayers are wrong.
1
@TheGruntski I agree that the examples you give do not constitute evidence, and no one should refer to them as evidence, credible or not, because it's not the correct use of the word 'evidence'. It's amazing how many people in this comment section do not understand the meaning of the words they use.

@CprtFM Why is the place important?
1
@hrithiksingh5942 "weak or unreliable evidence". I wouldn't call that evidence. In any case, the word 'evidence' has not yet been brought up by Canada, so let's wait and see. It's very possible we will never be shown the reason for these allegations, and that it will all be handled by India and Canada behind closed doors. That's my guess.

@hrithiksingh5942 Exactly. This is why countries always deny spying on each other, hahahaha.

@gbrsjones11 "people in the Eu will be so poor next winter". That's what they said about this winter, but it didn't happen. Some people even predicted Europeans would rise up against their governments. The opposite has happened. Europeans are slowly waking up to the benefits of brute, military power.
1
@gbrsjones11 So far, NATO countries will not send troops to Ukraine. Materiel only. Even if we change our mind, professional soldiers will suffice. Obviously not all Europeans agree, but there is a majority that do. You and your friends don't. That's to be expected.
1
@gbrsjones11 Well, that was quite a screed. I hope you got it all out. But I suspect your anger and resentment will persist. Carry on.
1
@gbrsjones11 A self-appointed voice of 6 billion. Sounds like you imagine yourself as the dictator of the world.

It may be too little, too late.

African countries have the right to invite any cooperation partner they want, be that France, Wagner, USA, UN, or any other. The countries that do invite foreign partners will then have to live with that decision. It's as simple as that. In the end, Africans are responsible for Africa's security, stability and development. No one else.

@darvidkoh2707 I live in Shanghai and I know the subways here very well. They're good, but I wouldn't say they blow my mind. For example, the constant security checks implemented since 2010 are really annoying. Some lines and stations are showing their age, especially along line 1 (opened 1995) and 2 (opened 1997). They could really use an overhaul. Same with that underground shopping mall in Peoples Square station. It's messy, chaotic and way too inconvenient to get down to the platform on line 2. The Shenzhen Metro is nice, perhaps nicer than Shanghai's. Beijing Metro is not particularly nice. Many others are quite fine. Now for Europe. Many metro systems in Europe are also old, much, much older than any system China has, and they are showing their age, too. But there are also new systems that are at least as flashy and modern as those in China: Bilbao, Brescia, Copenhagen, Rennes, Toulouse, Lausanne. All of these are built around the same time as Chinese metro systems and they are every bit as modern. The station entrances also tend to have much better designs, where Chinese metros are often designed to be utilitarian, with with little concern for urban aesthetics.
1
@darvidkoh2707 I don't want to sound too dismissive toward China's many metros. I'm very happy we have them. I remember when we had to travel around Shanghai by bus; it was slow and inconvenient. Metros are so much better.

You think they should just go straight to dropping nuclear bombs? You know, get it over with quickly?

The IMF is not an investor or loan giver to projects. The IMF has only ONE purpose: To assist countries with large debt to get their financial structure back on track by providing emergency funds. The IMF only provides funds to countries in order to alleviate crippling debt. No country has to accept funds from the IMF, and all countries that do accept IMF funds do so after accepting the terms. Countries that don't want IMF funds can try to go to China, and come away disappointed.
1
@southkoreausasmaster8805 "International Monetary Organization"?? IMO?? What's that? Do you mean the IMF? As you know, the IMF only provides assistance to countries in great financial trouble. These countries often have nowhere else to go for help. They don't have to use the IMF, but they choose to do so. They make the choice, not the IMF. The interest on IMF loans tend to be much lower than any other loans, and in some cases, they are provided interest-free.

@annan7728 Russia simply follows China without independence.

@peterk5981 "You simply do not get any substance" When are you guys going to learn to write in proper English? You're not making any sense.

@obinnaezealah2465 "We've dealt with China, we're not disappointed." I don't think you've tried to approach China for fiscal debt relief, which is specifically what the IMF is for. The IMF is not for giving loans to development projects. For that purpose, we know China often gives loans, as does many other entities. You may be someone who only views the world from China's perspective, and you ignore everything else. With such a perspective on the world, it may very well look like nobody else is providing loans or investing in developing countries, but lots of countries and organisations are.

@peterk5981 I'm only asking you to express yourself clearly, not giving you an English lesson.
1
@peterk5981 Ok, you've now resorted to personal insults rather than talking about the topic of the video. I have no interest in that.
1
@peterk5981 "narcissist". You're providing my evidence. That is a personal insult, and you still do not touch on anything related to the topic in the video.
