  1. They supress this but let Cardi B and Normani stand around naked. It makes zero sense

  2. China's claims are a lot greater than what most of the world is familiar with and what they publicly admit to. In the past, China used to suggest China was a lot bigger and included countries/territories all across Asia like Korea, Ryukyu Islands and former tributary states like Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Java and Thailand. These are claims propagated by people like Mao Zedong and published in maps known as "Maps of National Shame" (国耻地图). Maybe an attempt at healing a wounded national identity at the time but some things remain the same.

  3. Nobody thinks of Nepal having territorial disputes with China but China has encroached into Nepal in the past few years and has built things within Nepalese territory much to the embarrassment of the Nepalese government which does not want to offend China by lodging a diplomatic protest. So you can see how some things never change.

  4.  @rabeat4213  What are your favourite Himalayan states in India? I really like Himachal Pradesh and Sikkim.

  5. Putin once said that in the future that the Russian Far East may end up speaking Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

  6.  @kentershackle1329  Singapore will definitely not be happy. The country relies on the Strait of Malacca for its shipping trade and is a country with no natural resources. It would be disastrous for the nation.

  7.  @Praisethesunson  It is. Kim Jong Un literally told North Korean women, it's a patriotic duty to have children due to the low fertility rate.

  8.  @BabspzhzpKLal  Not true. Fertility rates across much of developing Asia and Latin America is below replacement level, so all of these nations will face population decline by the middle of this century. Some of them will face population decline in the next 10-15 years like Thailand and Sri Lanka. Thailand's fertility rate, in particular, has dropped the fastest in Southeast Asia and is now only second to Singapore in terms of how low it is. The Economist ran two articles about the demographic crises in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam last year, declaring that these three countries are going to get old before they get rich because fertility rates continue to drop while living standards continue to rise that people are living longer and thus the elderly populations are rapidly growing.

  9. @ Majority is Chinese, followed by Malays and then Indians with Eurasians being the 4th largest group

  12.  @hillbillyintheasia6122  Yeah I can definitely see the parallels between China's increasing pro-Asian rhetoric and Japan's WW2-era "Asia for the Asians" rhetoric.

  13. The UN doesn't just interfere unless asked. India can't do anything unless Bhutan tells India to do something. If India were to just interfere in Bhutan's affairs, that would be a breach of their agreement and Bhutan's sovereignty in general. Bhutan is an independent country, it can do what it wants.

  14. My Indian friend who is from south India told me she believes that India would make more sense if it was broken up. I suppose so, she being from Kerala must feel extremely detached from places like Uttar Pradesh.

  15. Yes it does, they published it in their national map in 2020.

  16.  @SomeoneFromBeijing  Yes I am aware he has said that Tibet doesn't need independence and he has also said that Arunachal Pradesh isn't part of Tibet.

  17. It's the correct map though

  18.  @Electroshk  East Asia wasn't colonised by Europeans, except for Macau, Hong Kong and briefly Taiwan.

  20.  @S-K555  It's the international map of India. We're neutral on Indian issues.

  21.  @S-K555  Someone from China or Pakistan could easily claim that map of India is depicting territory that belongs to them. So the world is neutral.

  22. It is

  23. He never said that.

  24. It's happening all over Asia. The fertility rates in Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Vietnam, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives, North Korea, India, Iran and Bangladesh are all below replacement level.

  25.  @davout5775  They do though.

  27. Cause it was demonetised by YouTube and age-restricted which also meant people in the EU, UK and Australia could not watch the video unless they verified their identity to Google with a passport or selfie.

  28. If Singapore was still part of Malaysia, it wouldn't be anything like what it is today. Singapore became Singapore because of its expulsion. Had it still been part of Malaysia, it might have been like Penang (another island that is part of Malaysia)

  29. Why do people say this? I have never heard a proper explanation

  30.  @neodenz  Exactly, I have never seen a Kashmiri person want to be part of any of those countries.

  32.  @dr.batman2530  You really think India would ally with the US in a heartbeat? I personally don't think so. At the end of the day, they seem to hold very strong beliefs of non-alignment. I think after the USA's reaction to India's neutrality in the Ukraine War, they know that they will always be on the chopping block if things were to go south between them and the US.
    2
  33.  @psy_inamorato5703  Once India reaches a level of development that jeopardises the US, India will be on the chopping block 24/7 à la Japan in the 1980s and China in the 2010s and 2020s. We've already seen glimpses of that in the past 5 years and especially earlier this year with India's decision to be neutral in the Ukraine War and buy oil from Russia and how upset the US was, even thinking whether to sanction India.

  34.  @dr.batman2530  I read your comment properly and I did not confuse neutrality with pacificism. India is a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, its entire foreign policy is rooted in non-alignment since the end of WW2. This is why the country has traditionally remain neutral on many things. There have been cases where it has broken neutrality and paid consequences for it (e.g. Sri Lanka). This is not about pacificism but the fact that is knows its interests are more important than anything else going on around them. This is why they, despite being a democracy, have remained silent on the pro-democracy protests and coup in Myanmar for example. They maintain the same mentality that many other Asian and African countries harbour: neutrality which is why most Asian and African nations are part of the Non-Aligned Movement.

  35.  @dr.batman2530  The truth of the matter is you don't know what India will do. It is that type of country, so unpredictable. Once that country reaches a level of development comparable to China, I know they won't be tiptoeing around with the US anymore. As a political analyst put it, India is only interested in maintaining its own sphere of influence where its interests are unchallenged and China is willing to accept that as long as their interests aren't jeopardised. What the analyst basically said is that China sees an Asia where China and India are the sole regional powers with no US interference.

  36. The Dalai Lama doesn't exist even consider Arunachal Pradesh to be part of Tibet anymore so idk who on earth is including those territories in an independent Tibet.

  38.  @bginoc  Did you watch the video? Most of their states are below replacement level, only 4 aren't and those 4 are the reason why India's population is still growing.

  39.  @doujinflip  Another big reason is because child mortality rates are higher in poorer nations so people have a lot of kids because only a few will survive to adulthood. Nobody ever talks about this.

  41. Yes, they descend from an East Eurasian lineage and a predominantly West Eurasian lineage with East Eurasian admixture that originated in northern Asia.

  43. Yes bur not just South China Sea but Taiwan, Strait of Malacca/Andaman Sea and various countries of South Asia and Southeast Asia too.

  44.  @Rob_F8F  Not exactly true. Culture plays a big role in how a society can function and Lee Kuan Yew spoke about this. Singaporean people and the Singaporean government, that is based on meritocracy, would've led to a stable society in Guinea Bissau. It's about culture, not ethnicity or anything like that. If you are raised with the right mindset then you can succeed.

  45. @ Confucianism is not a state system. It's a philosophy. It tells people how to function but it's not used to control people.

  46. Well we know it was divided along religious lines (Muslim and non-Muslim). It just happens to be that non-Muslims make up the majority of the population of the chicken's neck. So they're stuck with it.

  47. Yep and the success stories of the region (Singapore and Malaysia) will suffer greatly, especially Singapore. No wonder Singapore invests so heavily in its military to the point it has the strongest military in Southeast Asia, it knows it faces threats that could jeopardise its existence.

  48. ​ @mgar313  No Rakhine State would absolutely not belong to the Indian subcontinent. If you're going to argue that Rakhine State could belong to India you may as well claim most of Myanmar too as part of the Indian subcontinet because it seems to be that you're doing this based on culture and Myanmar (and the vast majority of Southeast Asia) is part of the Indian Cultural Sphere. You all see Rohingyas (who a minority in Rakhine) and assume that it's an argument for the claim that it belongs to India, it's not. Rohingyas themselves are Burmanised to an extent and many actually use Burmese names (e.g. Wai Wai Nu, a Burmese democracy activist of Rohingya descent).

  49.  @mgar313  The Burmese military persecutes Rohingyas because of WWII. The Rohingyas were bribed by the British to fight the Japanese instead of siding with the Burmese. As a result, they are seen as traitors for fighting alongside the British instead of fighting with the Burmese. General MinAung Hlaing of the Burmese military even said that this is "unfinished business from WWII" in regards to the Rohingya genocide. Rohingyas are not a majority of Rakhine. Rakhine State is known as Rakhine because of the Rakhine people (the majority ethnic group of Rakhine who practice Buddhism). Rohingyas have always been a minority in Rakhine.

  50.  @mgar313  You're looking at appearance and coming to a conclusion but that's not how Asia works. There are many Rohingyas who look stereotypically "Bamar" and there are many Bamar/Burmese who look "stereotypically Indian". There are different terms in the Burmese language to describe the "Indian-like", "Chinese-like" features in Myanmar society. Rohingyas were known as Arakanese Muslims during the Arakan Kingdom days, there was no issue with Rohingyas. Rohingyas are linguistically and culturally quite similar to the Bengalis but due to co-existence with Rakhine people and following the conquest of Arakan by the Bamar from the central plain, Rohingyas have also been Burmanised to an extent.
